WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Official dispatches 10
ceved from Texas IN regard to the condition of affairs
at san Ezaro and the events of the last two three
DAYS, were the subject of a conference to-day, par
ticipated in by the President and Secretaries
Evarts and McCrary. The official information
referred to was somewhat confused in It's
character, but sufficient was gathered from
il 10 show that the United States forces acting under
orders, had assisted the Sheriff Of the county In ar
resting some of the rngleadcrs in the late disturb
ance. In doing this two of the mob had been
killed and thc remainder as soon as captured were
turned over to the State authorities. by the
latter two of the prisoners, Mcxicans by
birth or extraction, were taken out and
shot 1t is inferred that they were lynched.
The President has directed that the Governor Of
Texas be informed that the troops cannot be en-
ploycd 10 assist in the arrest of citizens who are
TO be afterwards given over to execution without
the proper forms of judicial proceedings.
In reference generally to the situation on the
Mexican border it is well understood in official cir
cles that the Government will not be hurried into
action regarding the recognition Of the Diaz Adj
minstraiion in Mexico; that the relations of the
TWO countries are generally satisfactory that the
Dlaz Government WILL doubtless, be recognized in
uHe tlne aud that the delay is due to he tendency
OF questions IN the nature of concessions from the
neAicah Government, which can better be arranged
III auNahc than after such recognition.
Later dispatches from San ElIzaTio confirm the
earlier reports that those engaged i'm the recent riots
there were all American citizens and that the
troubles had nothing Of am international Character
about them.

THE BORDER RAIDS.

To contradict false reports relative to
4 war with, Mexico, growing out of
border raids on the Rio Grande, the
Secretary of war has explained the
instructions given to General Ord COM
manding the United States troops in
Texas. He says the Administration
means neither war with, nor the annex
alton of Mexico, bnt that raids across
the border must be stopped at any cost.
1t was believed that the Administration
favored a war with Mexico to attract
attention from domestic affairs and
prevent the Radical wing of the Repub-
lican party from attacking its Southern
policy, but this is emphatically and
officially denied. The half condemning
and half approving letter written by
Morton on political affairs has strength
ened the backbone of the Administra-
ton so much that Hayes feels that he
can withstand the attacks of Blaine and
his radical followers without resorting
to a war with Mexico. 81

A SENATORIAL VISIT.

William Sharon, Nevada's Senator,
from California, has been on visit to
his constituents on the Comstock. 1t
is not often that the Senator troubles
the people of the State he purports to
represent with his presence; but he
makes it count when he does come.
During his stay in Virginia City he
arranged matters so that his mills will
in the future ernsh all ores from the
Justice mine, aud the Shultz and Won
Bergen mills, which have heretofore
been at work on ore from that mine,
are to be shut down as soonas the sup
plies of ore on hand is exhausted.
Sharon's few and far between visits to
Nevada may have no political signif-
canoe, but some of the Comstockers
find that they at least mean business.
