Nothing will be done in the

silver and antiresumption bills,
until after the November elections.
There is something in policy after
all.

The MIDDLE with Mexico.

The probabilities of peaceful
solution of the troubles between
the United States and the so-calleG
republic of Mexico do not brighten
and the complications rather seem
to increase. At cabinet meeting
in Washington on Tuesday, Sec
rotary Evarts presented a very
lengthy letter from Governor Hub
bard of Texas, reciting the history
of the troubles with Mexicans
on the border Of the State, and
calling upon the federal govern
ment for protection. The facts
presented in the letters are not
new, having all been published
from time to time in the news
papers, but the letter is the most
formidable appeal that the Govern
ment has yet received from that
section. There was a general dis
cnssion upon the matter, engaged
in by all the members of the cab
met, who agree that the Mexican
troubles are becoming very grave,
and call for immediate action on
the part of the United States. We
are glad that the government is
beginning to realize that something
must he done. 1t has been a long
time arriving at that conclusion.
For thirty years there has been no
protection to person or property
for the American citizens who
sought homes along the Rio
Grande. Instead of growing bet
ter the situation is getting more
lntolerable. Governor Hubbard
says in his appeal that the Mexican
authorities at Matamoras have re-
eased five of the murderers who
lided in the attack on the Jail at
Rio Grande City, whose extradition
vas demanded of Mexico. These
men were ordered to he given up
" President Diaz, but Gen. Canales
would not carry ont the command.
lie resigned and allowed the power
o pass into other hands, and the
esult was the liberation Of the
utlaws who have invaded the ,
oil Of Texas and murdered Amer {
IAN citizens. 1t appears that Diaz
as not the power to enforce order
long the Rio Grande, and that this /,
ection is totally in the hands of +
anditti and outlaws. They com u
lit outrages upon the soil of the
'uited States, and then defy the l'
nthorities of both countries. :
'hile sucb a state Of thing as this
Sists in the valley of the Rio :

Tardy Justice.

IL VIII ne reiHemUereu tnat our
ing the last Presidential campaign
nothing was more common anon.
Republican politicians than t
speak Of Samuel J. Tilden as tn,
Tammany ring candidate. Hi
claims as a reformer were hooteC
at; the good he had done in fight
ing the Tweed ring, in bringing
Tweed and his associates to Justice
and releasing the city of New York
from their rule of plumber, and
again, when Governor, his determ-
ined and effective campaign against
the Canal ring-were utterly ig-
nored or denied. Justice and fair
dealing with candidates are hardly
to be expected in a Presidential
campaign, but it is seldom that the
facts of a prominent mans past
course are so shamefully perverted.
Now that Ne election has passed
and Mr.. Tilden is private citizen,
there is no further occasion to re-
peat, nor is there any apparent wish
to retract the ISLANDERS with which
he was assailed during the cam
paign. But truth will crop out &C.
casionally, "a it does in this case.
The New York Tribune, weekly,
Oct. 10th,-and in the daily of an
earlier date)--pointedly tells the
truth Of Mr.. Tilden as reformer.
In an article on the doings of the
late Democratic State Convention,
designed to show that Mr.. Tilden's
enemies controlled its action, the
Tribune says:
"Five or six years ago, when the
whole country was in revolt against
Tammany Hall, Mr.. Tilden and
some other respectable Democrats
began movement" in which ga
determined assault was made upon
the ring which had so long con-
trolled the party. Some of the
leaders were sent to Jail and 9TH
ers were driven into exile. Il
"Having doposed Tweed, Mr.. |
Tilden in the prosecution of his
projects of reform, next turned his
attention to the Canal ring. As in
the attack upon the Tammany ring
there was short and violent strug-
gle, ont of which the Governor
came victorious. The swinders
were unmasked, and suits were be-
gun to recover what they had
stolen.
"To fix the alliance between the
reform Democrats and the anti
Grant Republicans, and to give a
guarantee Of the sincerity of his {
actions, Governor Tilden then
caused Mr.. Bigelow to be nomina- I
ted as Secretary Of State, and as {
ISOLATED with him in the prosecu- I
ion Of the Canal ring. Mr.. Bige- @
ow performed faithfully the i'm n
,ortant work Of reform which was y
ssigned to him." The friends OF i
ar. Tilden could ask no clearer adj n
lission Of his earnestness and eff 8,
cheney on n reformer, than these Il
assages afford.-Courier. 81

FORTY-FOURIH CONGRESS.
Second Session.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, January II.
Mr.. Gordon introduced n bill TO create a sinking
fund for liquidation of government bonds, advanc-
ed to Western Pacific Railroad Co., and Central
Pacific Railroad. of California and Union Prcifc
Railroad Coz under act of July LIST, 1862 and Il G
acts amendatory thereof and for settlement of
claims of the government IN regard to said bonds
of the railroad.
At one o'clock, Mr.. Booth called up the resou
ton submitted by him in regard to counting the
electoral vote, and spoke at length in favor there
of. lie argued that members of congress would
hold their own views upon questions involved in
the electoral count, and that there could be no
harmony of action by the houses as at present
composed.
The people look upon congress for a solution OF
the difficulties, and with the certainty of disagree
ment in congress. The eyes Of the people have
instnctively turned to that august tribunal, and
established to decide the highest questions of law
which can arise in this government through that
tribunal.
l believe no settlement can be devised which
will commend itself to the sense Of justice and
propriety of all. and reconcile the losing party,

In the resolution have presented for the con-
liberation of the senate, have endeavored to so
order the proceedings that a record shall be made
which will bring the legal questions involved he
fore the justices OF the supreme court for their ar
bltrament.
There are three theories in respect TO power
and jurisdiction in this matter:
First, that the president of the senate has the
absolute right conferred by the constitution, to
determine the validity of votes OF each state.
Second, that the votes Of no state can be count
ed without the consent of both the houses of con-
gress.
Third. that the votes Of no state can be rejected
without affirmative action of both houses.
There is still another, that the hosse Of repre-
sentatives has sole power 10 determine the prcsi-
