Ia his speech in the Senate, yesterday, Dir.
Maxey said Texas demanded protection, and II
it was not afforded she would protect herself
and if var resulted it would not be her fault.
He was right, ADD Texas wonld be right II she
we're TO sustain by acts the words Of her Seua'
tor. The people Of the country are taxed hea''
iy for the protection Of their lives and property
,bos. Of Texas as we'll as Of Maine, and 1t the
government will not protect the former from
the raids cf Mexican baDditti, there are but
two things for them to do-relluqulsh their
property and qais the country, or defend them
selges, Irrespective Of the Consequences that may
result to the general government, and nobody
can blame them if they choose the latter. II
the army were large enough, and if its com.
nardipg officers could relieve themselves OF the
wrong impression that because they owe their
positions to The radical party their whole live:
are to BE- speut in the sole occupation of torsh
ering the interests Of that party. there would
be no more Mexican raids, aud With these pre-
c.dent conditions secured, were the care OF the
Indians Transferred to the War Department,
there would BE- 10 more Indian troubles.

dent will prove as delusive as the rest.
The question of the eligibility of Humphreys

criticised by several republican members on the
ground that 1t might carry an implication that il
humphreys had been such commissioner OH the

LONDON, February 9. Lord Derby in his speech
on the Queens address, declared Engand's policy

time not undertake to protect Turkey from force

quite unnecessary, and wholly unwse to pledge

Investigations.

" AsHINGToN, February 9 Charles Csvagnac
testified he was democratic canvasser before the
returning board in Louisiana. He stated that O.
III. Brewster Is surveyor general of the land office
in New Orleans, and A. b. Lewis is United States
Commissioner there, both having acted as repub-
llcans electors. He also testified he was present
when Vernon parish returns were opened.

was offered $4,000 if he would refuse to receive
his certificate or cast his vote for Tilden.
After the recess Capt. Irving Dirty of BALTIC
more was examined by Mr.. Lawrence with refer
encc to the character of j. III. Maddox and stated
that the ater's reputation as to truth and verac-
ty among the citizens of Baltomore was not good
and the witness would not believe him under oath
Maddox reputation for honesty is not very good
either.
The next witness was Samuel NJ. Shoemaker
resident manager Of the Adams Express Company
in Baltimore who also stated that he knows Mad
dox bv sight and reputation. That the lstters
reputation for truth and veracity is bad and that
the witness would not believe him under oath.
On cross examination OF Levisee said he
never suggested that he would accede to their
proposition and made speech to the returning
board placing his action for not voting for Hayes
on high moral grounds Such a suggestion how
ever was made to the witness by Ashur, but the
witness did not agree to it.
Witnesses manner at all the interviews with
Ashur was to cause him to infer that on the
proposition not to vote for Hayes or to vote for
Tilden as circumstances might dictate. Witness
was open to negotiation. Still, witness never
intended to negotiate, though witness thinks his
suggestion for $500, 900. looked like positive en-
enlargement to Ashur that he and his hackers
might negotiate it'll witness. All the inter-
views from first to last were within twenty four
hours.
