Another Rio Grande sensation is exploded by
last nights dispatches The invasion of Next
can soil by United States troops turns out to
have been q small affair, and the reported battle
no affair at all. Our soldiers are safely back
on the Texas side of the river, and in their
swift ride after the Indian thieves they were
not molested by Mexican troops.
This Republic has three strong reasons to be
represented adequately at the Paris Exhibi-
tion: % To stimulate immigration; (2) to in
crease our foreign trade, and CD to show
friendship for sister Republic, which joined
heartily in our Centennial celebration. With
these and other inducements to make grand
exhibit at Paris, it is not satisfactory to find
that the Chinese are in advance OF our GO
ahead nation in preparing for the great indus
Trial display. Not only have they secured
90. 900 square feet of space, but they are pre-
naring to send their products so classified that
the world may fully comprehend the resources
of the Flowery Empire. 1t might be concluded
from this display of enterprise, that the Chinese
have learned more from the Philadelphia Ex-
bibition than we did ourselves.

1t Is now little more than six years since
group of eminent citizens of New-York proposed to
set up a statue, in imperishable brass, of the Hon.
VIM. NJ. Tweed. That gifted publicist responded to
the proposition of his admirers in rather curt note
in which he stated, among other matters OF opinion
that he was mot wanting in common sense" III
Mr. Tweed retains this belief and has any desire that
il should be shared by the public he will be careful
how he allows himself to swear in the evident inter
est of any party or faction of party.

This table shows clearly the great change
which has been made in the character of the
bonded debt, and in the amount of debt used
as currency. In effect, 500, G54,591 of United
States promises to pay on demand have been
paid and retired, and cash amounting to $780,
S5S,259 has been accumulated, in preparation
for resumption. Included in the currency now
held is SIS, $50, 46S in the Especial fund for the
redemption of fractional currency" but it is
none the less effectually withdrawn from cir
culatiOn. The silver coin outstanding now
amounts to 1851, 276 n, an increase Of
$50, $50, 223 "a during the year, and from re-
ports of the inconvenient surplus of such coin
at some of the chief cities we infer that the
amount now in use is nearly as large as the
country requires for small change. The de-
crease in debt, less cash, has been $40, 679.
321 during the year, and yet the debt prop er
has increased by the sale OF bonds for the ac
emulation of coin.
This statement has been criticised as if the
report of only ten millions of the four per cent
bonds were proof that the Secretary had thus
far been unable to place larger amount. 1t
is thereupon assumed that the four per cent
loan has proved q great failure, and that the
plans of Secretary Sherman for resumption of
specie payments must consequently fail. This,
however, is glaring blunder. very slight
effort of memory will recall the fact that the
subscriptions TO the four per cent loan, prior
to July /, were small, and, as purchasers had
