gency. We must take the business Of sup
pressing the raids entirely into our hands,
as was at first intended. Our troops must
cross the river in close pursuit OF raiding
parties, chase them up until they are over
taken and bring back both the robbers and
their booty, delivering the cattle to their
owners and the thieves to the local author
tiles of Texas for trial and punishment.
We do not dispute that it was discreet
and polite for the government to modify
the orders it had given to General Ord when
the Mexicans professed an intention to cap
ture and punish their own thieves. The de-
sire of President Diaz for recognition was an
Ineligible reason why he might be willing
to earn it by performing clear interna-
tional duty. 1t was fair to give him a trial
and wise to test his ability and sincerity.
The result proves that he is too weak for
such q task. The local authorities follow
the bent of their own inveterate feeling,
and pay only deceitful respect to the
central government. Our correspondence
cites n characteristic illustration in the case
where Mexican officer despatched q force
in pursuit of raiders and selected for its
guide man, known to have belonged to the
raiding party, who took good care to protect
his accomplices by putting the pursuing
troops on false trail. Now that the hum
bug is exposed our government must no
longer be it's dupe. General Ord must be
instructed to pay no further attention to
Mexican professions and to follow every
raiding party that escapes across the river
as far upon Mexican territory as may be
necessary to bag it and bring it back. Our
government has trifed and been trihed with
long enough. 1t must now take redress
wholly into it's own hands and act with such
relentless vigor as will convince the Mex
leans that it is quite in earnest.

The Mexican Question.

The intelligent letter from San Antonio,
Texas, which We print to-day, puts the state
of affairs on the Rio Grande in o new light
Our correspondent exposes the humbug-
ging professions and utter faithlossness of
the local Mexican authorities and military
officers on the right bank of the river, and
shows that it is mere folly and weak cre-
dulity to expect any sincere cooperation on
that side in capturing and chastising the
raiders. There is, indeed, one conspicuous
exception to the hollowness and perfidy
of the Mexican pretence of co-opera-
ton. General Benavides has acted in
good faith and had the civil and military
officers Of the Mexican frontier States given
him a hearty support there would have been
no good reason for renewing our complaints.
But the honorable course pursued by Gene
raj Benavides is owing to the fact that he
is inaccessible to local influence. The
people who live along the Mexican border
sympathy with the raiders. So far as they
have affected willingness to join in efforts
to suppress the raids and bring the
thieves to justice they have been practising
o gross imposition on General Ord and on
General Benavides himself. Nobody is better
aware than General Benavides is of the state
of popular feeling along the Mexican from
tier and of the active sympathy of the Off
GERS of the Mexican army. OF course their
hypocritical pretence of cooperation has
not deceived General Ord but the modifica-
ton of his original order has prevented him
from acting on his own sense OF the situa-
tion. 1t is now the duty OF the government
to restore the order to it's original strin-

The Racing Season.

The racing season Of 1877 has been of q
character to encourage the patrons of the
turf and to satisfy all who are anxious to
see the American running and driving horse
improved. The recent meeting at Saratopa
has been so successful in all its details that
we may now safely look forward to q brill
liant series of fall meetings ut Jerome Park,
Baltimore and other leading tracks. The
fact that racing has been so successful
this year is a matter of congratuation
to all lovers Of the turf, for it was
scarcely to be expected in view of the
which are usually felt in matters of this
kind in every country in the presence of a
financial and commercial crisis. Racing is
one OF the luxuries of life, and there
is generally no place for luxuries ex-
cept in seasons of ease and prosperity.
The different events Of this character have
not, perhaps, been SO largely patronized as
in former years, but still the attendance
everywhere has been good. The Saratoga
meeting, which may be taken rs a standard
ny WHICH W JuuBe al the rest, mas been
very successful. In all there were eighty
five races, the largest number ever run on
q single course at the same meeting, at
least in this country, and probably in the
world. The amount of money involved
was over seventy thousand dollars, and
from first to last there was not n single
charge tending to throw the least discredit
on either owners, managers or riders At
Long Branch and other points the results
have been equally satisfactory. This is
highly creditable to our turf management
and cannot help but create for it increased
confidence and respect. American racing

AS these crops have been produced mostly
by negro labor they are q satisfactory testi-
mony to the industry Of the freedmen in
their new condition. The statistics of
Southern trade in other articles than cotton
also suggest favorable inferences respecting
the negroes. Take Memphis, for example,
whose trade in cotton declined owing to the
shortness Of the crop but largely increased
in all other articles. We copy the following
statement from the Memphis Appeal
