DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
THE TROUBLES ON THE MEXICAN
BORDER,
The Mexicans Will Use Force to Repel
United states Troops Entering Mex
leo i'm Pursuit of Raiders.

SAN ANTONIO. Nov. 2s-It seems that the scout
of Lieut.. Bulls and Col. shafter of the United
s ates army into Mexico has aroused the ire of
the government at the City of Mexico. and Gen.
Falcon. commanding at Perads Negros. has
hgen structed by Senior Argosoh. the Mexican
Minister of the Interior, to use folce to repel
United States troops which may attempt to
pursue Indian or Mexican raiders into Mexico,
after raiders are caugh. espassing In Texas.
.Trevino is now on his way from the City of
Mexico with reinforcements of 1000 red men
for this place. The entire frontier Is at the
mercy of the Mexicans.
Cen. Ord has not strength to justify him in
following the raiders across the Rio Grande
in the face of the vastly superior Mexican
forces. He cannot abide by the instructions
from the Secretary of War under these circum-
stances, these instructions being for him to
cross at points where there are no Mexican
troops stationed, Gen Falcons command being
in the section of country near where the In
dians and Mexicans most generally cross.
West Texas Is now at the mercy of her treach-
erous enemies. and the devastation of her vii
lagos and ranches may come next, and the long
possible war becomes more probable
A dispatch received from Fort Clark brings
information that three herders have been killed
by q raiding party; two were killed on Sunday
and one on Wednesday. Col. Shafter has ordered
com pany Of cavalry in pursuit Gen. Ord has
asked for another regiment.

REvULsION OF FEELING.
Republican Senators Coming Over to the
support of Hayes.
IN, Y, Herald.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-There isan increas-
ing feeling of impatience and even indigna-
tiOn at the manner in which the most impor-
tant of the Presidents nominations have
them in charge Committee men, when they
are spoken to about this delay, are SILENT
though it is said that the nomination of Gen
Harlan for Justice of the Supreme Court is
kept back for no reason that any one Of the
Judiciary Committee knows. There is good
deal of discussion privately among Senators
about these delays, and the sympathy of
some anti-Hayes Senators is turning toward
the President on the ground that
he is III not ts,1 meeting d With n fair treat
spectful to him if the committee should
bring in adverse reports and let the Sen
ate decide than for the chairman to pocket the
nominations out Of what looks like mere spite
This feeling is strengthened by growing
disposition among good many of the anti
Hayes senators to make up with the Presi-
dent. They have opposed him so far, not
with the idea Of breaking down his Admins
tration, but with the notion of getting him
Unto harmony with their ideas" as they say.
He treats them civilly and makes himself
personally pleasant to them and they have
lately begun to hope that they can "make
something out of him yet They are natu-
rally averse to war on the President in the
first year of his term and they see with
alarm that they have been gradually drawn
into an attitude of opposition by Senators
whom they now believe to be not for peace,
but for a lasting war upon the Admins
tration. The two caucuses have had the
effect of making the distinction clear be-
tween the anti-Hayes men, who hope to gain
over the President, and those who mean to
oppose him, in order to break him down, and
so far the Administration has gained by these
meetings. The President has not surrender
ed any point, but he has been solicitous to
show Senators that he means to act within
the Republican party, and that, while he will
not abate anything Of his policy, he hopes to
carry the party with him in its support, and
is very ready to be friendly to everybody who
will go with him, or even who will not go
against him.
1t happens, therefore, that some of the
moderate anti-Hayes men begin to think of
separating themselves from their extreme
comrades. Ii they are to follow either Mr.
Conkling or the President, for instance they
prefer to follow the President. Thus one OF
these gentlemen remarked to-day, in con-
templatiye tone:
On the whole it may be said TIA. there is a

The Hamburg murderer who is hanging

Patterson for his vote, yesterday made d sorry
exhibition of himself in one of the corridors of

too gross and indecent for repetition, and with
vuigarity such as the driver would use in COM

senator Patterson did az he was required. We

FULTON SETTLES
BY PAYING $50, COG INTO THE TREAS
URY ON THURSDAY.
But Where the Cash Portion OF His set
tlement Vanished To Is-A
'sDOndreary" Joke.

Section 175 of the Revised Statutes reads:
Whenever the Auditor shall be satisfied, either
from his own knowledge of fact, or by returns
made in execution on writs of fieri facias, tha
the State cannot make the amount due on the
old bonds or obiigations due the State by compu
sorry process, then he is authorized to enter into
such arrangements and make such compromises
either with the principals or their securities, as
he may think most advantageous for the State,
and to cancel such bonds or obligations upon pay.
ment of portion thereof, and he shall report tc
the General Assembly the action he has taken
and his reasons therefor.
Acting under this law, the State Auditor on
Thursday agreed to a compromise in the case oi
ex-Tax Collector E. Fulton. he agreeing to pay
into the State Treasury s21, ,OO6 in cash and $50,
600 in valid State warrants, and on the same
day
THE COMPROMISE WAS MADE
the orders were issued by the Auditor, and the
funds and warrants were turned into the trea-
sury.
For a month past, and in fact since Mr.. Full
toms return here from California, his friends
have made every imaginable effort to induce the
Auditor to make compromise in his case, the
terms offered being, however, such as could not
be accepted by the Auditor, who insisted that
the State should receive full payment r the
amount which the books indicated was due the
State, and finding him inexorabIe, the compro.
mise was made as stated above, the total amount,
$50 ,OO6, being due from Mr.. Fulton, and that is
in the estimation of other State officers, the
best settlement that
COULD HAVE BEEN MADE.
The cash payment into the treasury was to the
credit of the general fund of 1874-5 and, al.
though it was heavy payment, those who yes
erday morning presented warrants for the years
named and upon the fund specified, were in
formed at the Treasurer's Office that there was
no funds in the treasury to the credit Of that
fund.
Some Of the State officials declared yesterday
that The entire amount had been drawn from the
treasury
BY THE OLD RING,
who held some Of that series of warrants and
had purchased more, enough in fact to cover the
entire cash payment, and the fact that some OF
the alleged representatives of that circular organ
ization were noticed about the treasury on
Thursday seems to confirm the belief expressed
openly yesterday at the State-House.
