The New Orleans Democrat is pref
ty hard on the s".called independent
journals and it is about right. An
independent press, that is fearless in
the expression Of it's opinions indie
pendent of.ot1icial dictation and tie
control Of rings aud monopolics-and
one that will expose wickedness and
fraud regardless of the political faith
or professions of the guilty, is a bless
ing to any country or community;
but one which proclaims itself indie
pendent in politics and disowns al
legiance to any party, like the float
ing voter, who votes with what ho
considers the strong side or tho ONE
that pays him the most, subjects itself
to both contempt and suspicion, is
very unreliable, is not likely to ac-
complish much public good, and is
generally a frand. III fact it is nearly
or quite as much an imp"ssihi|ity for
a newspaper as for T. politician to bc
neutral iu politics.

Washington.


Whatever may have been the shut
fling, backing and filing of the ADJ
ministration on the Mexican question,
there is at last a prospect that some
thing tangible will be done by Con-
gress, which has taken hold of the
subject in earnest, and is proceeding
with intelligence The Committee on
Foreign Affairs has cited Secretary
Evarts to enlighten Congress as to
why the Diaz government has not
been recognized, as we'll as to have
the benefit of of the diplomatic cor
respondence between the two govern.
ments since the present. Administra-
came into power. The Foreign Af-
fairs Committee will particularly
make inquiry as to whether the threa-
tening Troubles between the United
States and Mexico cannot be settled
by diplomatic correspondence. The
committee will begin its labors at once
and meanwhile the Military Commit
tee will continue to hear what army
officers have to say about a war with
Mexico.
This committee has had this sub ect
under consideration for ten days or
more, and has taken the testimony Of
a large number of army officers. The
inquiry has been directed solely to the
disposition of the armed forces on the
Rio Grande, and the extra occasion
which prompted the Department Com
mander General Ord to invade Mexi.
can territory.
At its meeting this morning the Mil
itary Committee appointed a sub
committee to consider the testimony
already taken with reference to the
Texas border troubles. This sub
| committee will sit during the holiday
recess, and endeavor to have a report
ready to submit immediately atte'
said recess.
The new Mexican Minister, Seno'
Zamacoua; has accepted an invitation
| to appear before the committee to-
morrow.
Gen. Ord continued his testimon,
to-day. Senator Maxey read letter
to the committee from the Secretar.
of War and Gen. Sherman bearing OF
the border troubles.
| The committee instructed Senate
| Maxey to introduce bill in the Sen
ate appropriating 100000 to establish
four additional forts on the Rio Grand
border.

puts an end to the mysterious pro

and takes the Mexican question out
of the reach of the ,jnyylcry of the ADJ

promptly. and tn" suspense in which
these atl;,ilS have so tony been held
will soon terminate one way or the

There is no douht that the belHavi.
or of Senior Zamacona since his arrival
here has done much to elevate the
Diaz administration in the estimation
Of Congress-; and the courage and
trankncss with which the Mexican
Ambassador courts inquiry and seeks
hearing have quite put the tritliuE
and pcttit"gginy Evart> to the blush.
If Diaz is as strong in his control OF
Mexico rs Zamac"na represents HIM
to be, there can be no doubt that
Congress will soon recognize his gov
eminent, and take measures to bring
about an understanding, whether the
Administration desires it or not. 49,

of the transaction is endured by Loui

1t is one more specifications OF that
party. Nevertheless, the duty Of pro-

THE MISSING YOR.
What Has Became OF A. Oakley Hall?

1t is now ten days since A. Oakley
Hall, ex-Mayor Of New York disap-
peared. The detectives are at loss
to account for this mystery, and admit
themselves beaten. The World pub
fishes a lengthy and circumstantial
theory to the effect that ex-Mayor
Hall had been murdered in Brooklyn,
while there on Friday night hunting
up witnesses for divorce case. For
some time back, it was stated, Mr.. Hall
had transacted business for a lady of
wealth and of great personal attrac-
tons. He went to New Jersey and
personally conducted suit for this
lady, involving large amount of real
estate, in which he was successful. On
the 10th of March this lady visited Mr..
Hall at his office, land held consultation
with him. When she left he said that
he had been retained as counsel to
bring an action for divorce against her
husband. The suit was to be brought
in Kings county, and Mr.. Hall further
stated that he had to 90 to Brooklyn
next Friday evening and s'see detec.
tives and detective This own wOrds)
which implies that there were several
to be employed, and to examine wit

of paper was found which had beer
left by Mr.. Hall on his desk. and or
which were number of memoranda:
in his own handwriting, among which
was the following: March 10. Consul
tation with Mr.. - as to divorce
and to see detectives and detective
and examining witness in Brooklyn.
1t was further stated that a shor
time ago, in conversation, Mr.. John A
Duff, well known as lessee and man
ager of the New York theatres SAL
that he had spoken with Mr.. Hall Il
reference to proceedings for dlvorc
which Miss Kate Claxton had CON

ness outside of his own, and he placed
little faith in the statement made by
the World. It can do no harm now,
and may possibly tend to throw some
light on the mystery of Mr.. Halls dis
appearance, to mention a popularity
noticeable in him during his recent
visit to the courts. For some time
past he showed signs of absent-mind-
edness, and would sometimes walk
slowly and modify up to the third
floor of the new courthouse, when he
meant to visit the court on the second
floor. Sometimes he would look
around for his hat, saying "What did
do with my hat Where did leave
it % and then suddenly recOllect that
he left it in another court. On one
occasion he muttered to himself, in a
