CHARGES AGAINST Col. HAzEN.-Col
David s.. Stanley, 22d U. q. infantry, has
filed charges affecting the veracity Of Col
w. b. Hazen, 9th u. 8. infantry. Hazen, it
will be remembered, gave important testi-
mony in the Belknap Impeachment trial.
The charges now preferred against him arise
on q question raised by Stanley as to the
in army circles that Belknap Is back of the
matter, and that HaZen's military record
will not be affected by what looks like an
unjust prosecution. Gen. HaZen is now en-
route TO Washington from Fort BufOrd, hav-
ing been detailed TO go to Europe and attach
himself to the headquarters of the Russian
army for the purpose of observation and the
advancement of military science.
MfxICo WILL MAKE AMENDs-It is
stated Oh unquestionable official authority
that the ad ministration has made no modid-
cation of General Ord's instructions, hereto
fore published. Advices received at the
Slate DEF aTtment from Minister Foster state
that he had called the attention of the govern
ment of General Diaz to the Invasion OF
soldiers, In pursuit of q body of Lerdos ad-
kerents, and in reply the Diaz government
pIouisod that IL should be promptly investi-
lsted. and that they would make all due
aniends in acceptance WIN the requirements
Of International law. 1t perceives that ex-
piar atiOns are first in order from Mexico
She having made the first INVASION. Minister
Foster also reports that, although there was
q universal newspaper Outburst of iudigna-
ton when General Ord's instructions were
issued the receipt OF additional news from
the United States led the Mexican Journals To
adopt a more moderate tone. One of the
prominent journals during the height of the
excitement said, "They tell us that Mexico
is one Thing Mexico never was prepared for
ard that Is peace"

The grand total of 1,153,8 SIG so-called land
owners for the three countries England,
Scotland and Ireland-is reduced to most
modest proportions by emitting all owners
below one acre, who are, with rare excep-
lions, owners of houses, or even lessees of
houses only; for the return includes as pro-
nrietors all those who hold under leases of
over sixty years. From the total of 301 1878
entries of proprietors above one acre great
reductions must be. again made, and after
cafe entries, holders of glebe lands, and cor
norate bodies and charities, the most liberal
estimate can not put the number Of land
owners at more than 100000, Of which the
owners in England are less than 10000,
