A WARNING TO MEXICO.
WAR DEPARTMENT,

/, .a WAR DEPARTMENT.,
Il. WASHINGTON, D. C., June l, 1877.
General: The report Of w. M. Shat
ter, Lieut.. Col. Of the oath Infantry,
commanding the District of the Nueces,
Texas, concerning the recent raids by
Mexicans and Indians from Mexico
into Texas for marauding purposes,
with your endorsement of the 10th
inst, has been submitted to the Presi-
dent, and has, together with nulner-
Gus other reports and documents reiu-
ting to the same subject, been duly
considered. The President desires
that the utmost vigilance on the part
OF the military forces in Texas be ex-
ercised for the suppression of these
raids. 1t is very desirable that the
efforts to this end, in so far at least rs
they necessarily involve operations on
both sides of the of the border, be made
with the cooperation Of the Mexican
authorities, and will instruct General
Ord, commanding in Texas, to invite
such cooperation on the part of the
local Mexican authorities, and to
inform them that while the President
is anxious to avoid giving otiense to
Mexico, he is nevertheless convinced
that the invasion of our territory by
armed and organized bodies of thieves
ana ROBBERS 10 prey upon our cltlZenS,
should not be longer endured. General
Ord will at once notify the Mexican
authorities along the Texas border of
the great desire of the President to
unite with them in efforts to suppress
this long continued lawlessness. At
the same time, he will inform those
authorities that il the Government OF
Mexico shall continue to neglect the
duty of suppressing these outrages,
that duty will be developed upon this
Government, and will be performed,
even if in its performance the occa-
sional crossing of the border should be
necessary by our troops. You will,
therefore, direct Gen. Ord that in case
the lawless incurisons continue he will
be at liberty, in the use of his own dis
erection when in pursuit of u band of
| the marauders, and when his troops
are either in sight of them or upon a
fresh trail, 10 FOLLOW them across the
Rio Grande, and to overtake and pun
ish them, as we'll as to retake any stolen
property taken from our citizens and
found in their hands, or on the Mexican
side Of the line. I have the honor to
be, very respectfully,

BEN's LETTER.

Ben Butler condoles with Marshal
Pitkin of New Orleans and writes him
a letter full of latent hostility to the
President. He is certain that Pitkin
should act as Isaac did when about to
be offered mp by Abraham. Says he:
Remember that Abraham was about
to sacrifice his only son Isaac. the child
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1877-06-08

of his old age, to what he believed to
be the will of God and the necessities
of his people and the Good Book does
not makeany mention Of any unreasOn-
able complaints or outcries of Isaac on
that occasion, and so when you
find that the President, in obedience to
the call of his country and the public
exigency for its pacihcation, deems it
necessary to sacrifice you, and take
away your Office, and give it to one
who wore the stgray," when you stood
and squirm any more than Isaac did
when he lay upon the altar under the
knife of his father Abraham.
I am sorry that cannot write you
any other words of comfort and conso-
lation, but "such as I have give unto
you"
Ben makes a Iunge at the President
and his policy, as follows:
1t is an open secret here, as am in
formed, that Col. Wharton, your COM
petitor, aided Mr.. McVeigh, one of the
commissioners at New Orleans, very
largely in getting u portion of the MEM
bers of the Republican legislature to
Nichols, by which returning board
legislature was put under the control
Of Nichols, and then that legislature
enabled the conn mission to advise that
as the legislature had recognized the
Nichols government, the President
was bound to withdraw the troops. 1t
is also asserted that two thousand dol
lars was to be paid to the leading de-
sorting legislators, and only two hun
dred to others, disguised, in the latter
case, in the shape of mileage, so that
Mr.. johnson, Il colored man, speaking
out of the innocence of his heart, said
on the floor of the House, ssAll that
he wanted was to get his mileage and
go home."
1t also asserts here that Col. Whar.
ton, being the instrument selected by
Mr.. McVeigh to do this piece Of BUSH
ness, had his promise of being made
Marshal, if he successfully accomplish
ed it. Now, Wharton performed his
side of the bargain, and | think you
are very unreasonable in Directing that
the Administration should carry out
their side of it, or at least do all they can
SO to do. 1t ought to satisfy Wharton
that they have asked you to resign,
and you won't, and therefore they have
done the best they could 10 make good
McVeigh's bargain, and as they can't,
Wharton ought to be satisfied. Pre-
cisely like my friend, Gen. Garfield,
having done his best, and succeeded in
electing Mr.. Stanley Matthews to the
Senate at the request of the President,
as it is said, on the agreement that the
President would make him Speaker of
the House of Representatives, will
have to be and ought to be satisfied
with Il fair, honest and 'shearty" en-
deavor on the part of the President to
do all he can do to make him Speaker,
and if he fails, Garfield will have
nobody to blame but himself for not
remembering that ga bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush."
Wayne McVeigh is out in an open
letter replying to Butler, in which he
repels the charges with much severity
and carries the war into Africa. He
says he had no money for any corrupt
use-but that if he had been military
commander Cf New Orleans during the
war he would have had abundance OF
funds.
