The Mexican Confusion.

From San Francisco we have
the announcement that President
Lerdo, Of Mexico, and staff, are
now in the State Of Jalisco Zone Of
the wealthiest IN the RepubliC),
and that Lerdo has with him near
" one half of the Mexican regu-
lar army, commanded by skillful
Generals: His programme is to
risk battle with Daz, and if sue
cessful to regain the capital.
From Brownsville We have the
acknowledgment that the rumor
that Escobedo was shot in false.
The Brownsville report declares
Escobcdois with Lerdo at Mazat-
Ian. Diaz had advanced on the
army supporting Iglesias, and the
latter had retired from Queretaro
to Guanajuato.
IfLerdo has an army with him,
it is safe to infer that the line of
States mentioned in previous
article are stalking their fortune
in returning the President to the
capital. The fact that Lerdo's
movements have been secret, is
not to be accepted as evidence
that his cause is weak, although it
may be.

The Present Disposition OF Uni

@ Az the close Of the session of
the House yesterday, the 9th, a
communication was presented
from the Secretary Of War in ref
crenCe to House resolution dated
December Sth, giving the dispo-
sitIon Of United States troops. In

troops here include an ordinance
detachment, companies A, G, i,
f and G, of the First Artillery; G,

was at New Orleans. Nearly one

gwen at A., ,004. The city and the
South include at the time Of the
return about one-half Of the arm
ed forces of the country.
The Pacific Railroad Commit
tee Of the House is in prolonged
session. All questions ehecting
the main stem are settled. The
contest is rand the branches
generally, but especially the two
from New Orleans and the three
from S. Louis.
The Judiciary Committee hay
ing under consideration the con-
tumacy of the telegraph opera
tors and the Louisiana Returning
Board, had another meeting this
morning.
At this hour, [noonl in the
House, Messrs. Saylor, of Ohio,
and Durham, of Kentucky, are
having spirited fight over the
bridge interests between Cincin-
natl and Coyington.
The New York barker, Diamond,
submitted his books to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. They develop nothing. II
is transpiring that the National
Executive Committee retained

Pacific slope. The lawyers got
the money.
A Deputy Sergeant-at- Arms

Speaker of his arrest, ard to bring

authority, in failing to appear be

The special House committee
on the privileges, powers and du.

The suggestion of Mr.. Waiter
son that the people shall petition
Congress to inaugurate Tilden is
received with general ridicule.
Every one perceives the folly Of
sending on Tilden memorial
when the Republicans could
counteract its influence by send
ing another, as largely signed, re-
qucsting the Inauguration of
Hayes. Besides, the considera-
ton and investigation Of these
memorials would at once break
up Congress. The question would
at once come up, on their presen-
tation, whether the signatures
were genuine, and whether they
represented actual citizens. To as
certain this would require, for
each State which sent up a me-
mortal, a committee of investiga-
ton to proceed to the points from
which the memorials were sent
respectively, with full power to
send f)r persons, etc. Suppose
that there should be thirty eight
memorials, it would be necessary
to send out thirty Congressional
Committees to see if the petition

Now, when there is nothing to
fight for and nobody to fight, it is
difficult to see how first-clasS

his Inauguration as a pretender,
is to seize the Custom house for
the purpose of stocking his treas

debt. 1t does not appear how he
will accomplish this rather spa

Shoals OF young salmon from three to
six inches long and several shad nave
been found in the Colorado river, near
Austin. Two years ago the COLORADO
and some other streams in Texas were
stocked with these fish, but these are
the first heard of since then.
Texas has several streams which
ought to be looked after. For instance,
and Cypress Bayou, Trinity river, Bra
EOS and Guadalupe. These rivers can
be wonderfully improved with little
judicious work on each, and Texas is
certainly entitled to aid in this line
from the General Government to a
greater extent than 1t has ever yet been
given.

men in that region missing their stock,
suspected these parties and followed
them about four weeks ago, overtaking
them on the Pecos river, some 300 miles

were about thirty of the thieves well
armed, who told their pursuers they

DRAINING IN HOLLAND.
The Complete success Of the sche'

The Complete success Of the scheme.
Great success attends the enormous
drainage and canal operations OF the
Hollanders. The two undertakings
usually go hand In hand, SO that, as in
the case of the new canal from Amster-
dam to the sea, while the lands recov-
cred by drainage are of enough value to
reduce the total cost OF the enterprise
by nearly third. there Is further ad-
plan, since the process OF constructing
the canal was contrived 80 as to facili-
tate the actual work Of drainage. The
canal having cut of and secured the
draining Of a portion Of the zuyder Zee,
a project for another canal. to drain the
southern part Of that body Of water, is
now before the Chamber OF Deputies.
The new canal is intended to give Am
sterdam direct water way to the Rhe-
nish provinces. The area to be drained
is somewhat less than 400. 900 acres. The
cost of the undertaking, for which it is
proposed to obtain government loans, is
estimated at nearly $50, OOO, 600.

A chinese Revolution.

Last month, the Chinese Of Renoung
rebelled against the Rajah, and attack
ed him in his own palace, besides burn
ing down all the, government buildings
and footing a junk stationed at the
mouth of the Renoung river, belonging
to the Rajah. The Rajah's military
force, consisting of fifty men, who act
in the double capacity OF body guard
and police, was unequal to contest
with raging population Of about Is, 900
people, composed for the most part of
Cinnamon. But the Rajah, with this
force. shut himself in his palace, for
tilted building boasting of few pieces
of artillery. and commanding the whole
length Of a broad. straight road. The
rioters, in attacking the palace, filled
the broad avenue. and it can be under
stood when the Rajah. loading his guns,
it is said, with large quantities Of rifle
bullets. opened upon the dense mass,
what terrible havoc must have been COM
mitted. Four hundred of the rioters
are said to have paid the penalty with
their lives, and it is difficult to say
where the matter would have ended,
had not Siamese man-of-war from
Junckceylog landed its marines, and
restored order.
