Mt. Williams and Mr.. Blaine.

The Maine Standard publishes with great
flourish of trumpets the fact that when Mr.
Blaine was editor of this paper, some twenty
years ago, he wrote some very kindly things of
Hon. Joseph 81. Williams. We have no doubt
that MIR. Blaine was more than glad and willing
to do so. His relations with Mr.. Williams
have always been most kindly and friendly
At six consecutive elections Mr.. Williams
voted for Mr.. Blaine as representative
IN Congress from this district, preferring
Mr.. Blaine to such Democrats as A..
z. Gould, e. Wilder Farley, E. X. OBrien
and Thomas s. Lang, who were severally can
dIdates against him. Indeed we have been told
by resident of Mr.. Williams own ward, that
when Mr.. Williams voted for Mr.. Blaine, in
1872, he carried no other name aipon his ticket
and we personally know that when Mr.. Blaine
was elected to the United States Senate last
winter, Mr.. Williams was present at Mr..
Blaine's reception, and very warmly congratu-
lated him on his promotion. The Maine
STANDARD will therefore see that Mr.. Blaine has
personal occasion, even now more than twenty
years ago. to speak kindly of Mr. Williams.
We are very sure that Mr. Blaine never spoke
or wrote of Mr.. Williams a single unfriendly
word in his lfe.-Kennebee Journal.

MEXICO.
Fears of Invasion-Gov. Hubbard of
Texas Wire-P uliing for Annexation,

Texas Wlre-PuilIng for Annexation,
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The Herald's San
Antonio special reports that the Mexican
authorities are nervous over the fear that Texas
means to declare war and invade Mexico. 1t
was brought about by Governor Hubbard's
precptate action in authorizing Colonel Nc
Leary to raise regiment in case of need, and
ordering Captain Halls command to the Rio
Grande.
Colonel Gomez telegraphs from Camargo
that Captain Hall told him that $4,000 troops
were being organized in Texas, to raid upon
Mexico unless the outlaws were given up.
General Ord believes that Mexico is sincere
in the promise to repair the Ringgold outrage,
but Governor Hubbard thinks otherwise.
No doubt Escobedo and the friends of Ierdo
are tanning the sparks of war, and it is whis-
pered that Governor Hubbard's object is to
to bring about the annexation of the border
states, and thus reinforce the Democratic power
in Congress.
General Sheridan furnishes the Geographic
correspondence between Colonel Gomez, the
Mexican commander at Comargo and Captain
Brown at Rio Grande City, in which the
former intimates that he has been instructed to
pursue any Mexicans who, after raiding in
Texas, return to Mexican soil. 1t might lead
to complications If a commander of state
volunteers pursued any raiders on to Mexican
soil, as the latter commander says he has been
instructed to do by the government of Texas
Captain Brown also stated to Gomez that
$4,000 soldiers were organizing in Texas to
make a raid upon Mexico. The Mexican
General Benazides calls Ord's attention to the
above. Ord says if the Texans carry out their
intention of pursuing parties on Mexican soil,
they will do so without aid from his (Gen.
Ord's) regulars.

War Notes.

A telegram from Constantinople contains the
following: Ahmed Vefk Pasha, president of
the Chamber of Deputies was appointed gov
ernor of Adrianople. Mustapha Pasha, gov
ernor of Tripoli, was appointed Minister of
War ad interim.
1t is reported that the Porte will shortly adj
dress note to Greece, asking explanations as
to her ornaments.
A Blue Book is published, containing Col.
Welesley's report He says that although he
has not personally visited the alleged scenes of
atrocities, he has, from examining reliable
English and other witnesses of the operations,
arrived at firm and honest conviction that
the accusations against the Russians of cruel
ties are entirely unfounded. The war, however,
is one in which little quarter is given on either
side.
