The Mexican border troubles were subject
Of discussion at the Cabinet meeting yesterday,
and it was agreed that organized cattle stealing
and other deprcdail0us upon the property 10
Texas of American citiZ Ems must be effectualy
stopped, without further delay or nattentiou
on the part Of Mexican authorities. Cores,
pondeuce with the Mexican Government will be
Immediately reopened by the State Depart.
mcDt, unless lroper steps be promptly taken
by Mexico to prevent further incursiors upon
American territory BY bodies OF her citizens. The
u. S. military forces under General Ord will
probably be authorized to cross the Rio Grande
to pursue and capture the marauders. Similar
threats have been continually made ever since
the close OF the war, but the U. S. army has
been SO busiy engaged in sustaining carpct-bag
governments and in marching into Indian am
buscades, that it really has not had time to pro-
tect and defend the plundercd and outraged
citizens of the country who live on the Mexican
frontier.

UNEASLEEss ABOUT TIE MONEY IN
THE POOLS.

The many people who bet mOnHy on
the election are getting more and more
uneasy about the result" As there is
no law to enforce their claims, should
there be any default on the part of the
enterprising gentlemen who manage the
poOls'-in other words, the holders OF
the stakes-a great many contingencies
may arise to indefinitely delay the re-
turn of the 1880, 900 which is supposed
to be locked up in this way. If enc Of
the pool gentlemen should take it
into his head, for instance, to go on an
extended tour in Europe, there is moth
ing to prevent it, though of course it is
not to be supposed he would take the
pool money with him. Still, there are
great many accidents happening in this
wicked world, and no one can tell what
may turn up. 100000 is a large sum
of money for anybody to have in his
possession without any legal guarantee
as to its final disposition, and it is not
surprising, therefore, that there is some
talk about invoking the intervention
of the district attorney. That step,
however, will avail nothing, it being no
part of the Legitimate business or that
unctionary to look after money bet on
elections, when betting itself is treated
by the state as an illegal practice. The
Wall street brokers say business with
them just now is rather poor, and pend
ing the settlement of the election, the
81, 500, 900 might be pro6tably employed
as margin in buying a few thousand
shares OF fancy stock for the account of
the several parties in interest. II the
market went the right way, they say the
owners of the cash could have consider
able additions to their gains, but they
do not say anything about what would
take place if the market went in the Op.
posite direction.-N J. Gov. Phi11dsi-

The Phoebe Record says that rich
man in that place died in 1861, and
there vas a pomPOus funeral. The fol
lowing is added by way Of moral lesson !;
ain 1871 we visited the grave and saw
four bOb-tailed pigs roofing at the sods

was left of old pompOsity, And that

THE Calcutta wheat trade has grown
into enormous proportions. In 1870 the
exports amounted to only 1900 tons,
and during the first nine months Of the
present year 10000 tons had already
been shipped. 1t is grown chiefly in the
Puniau6, and is much valued in the
English mari cts, especially on account
Of its dryueSs.

lasted until half-past o'clock, and was
mainly devoted to the transaction of
routine business, and some general con-

conversation some favorable comment
was passed on the appearance and man

GEN. J0HNSrON.
HE Hesitates to Accept The Ap.
pointment Pr0iRersd by
Hayes.
General Sherman Admires Him
: but Never Proposed His
Name.
TSpecial to N. O. Dem )cfat.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The only
doubtful Cabinet position at this time Is
] the War Department. Gen. Johnston Is
boat this morning. Since his arrival he
has been in consultation with his
friends; what his conclusion i5 or
whether he has arrived at any cannot
be definitely stated, but it is ascertained
that the War Department will not be
offered to him unless it Is known that he
will accept the position.
Gov. Walker, of Virginia, who be-
i Iieves that the South should accept the
policy held out by Hayes in good faith
and sustain him in it so long as he
maintains the non bipartisan attitude set
forth In his inaugural, is anxious that
Gen. Joe Johnston should accept Gov.
Walker says there is no man in the
South who could accept the place with
so much fitness as Gen. Johnston could,
inasmuch as since the death Of Gen. Lee
heis pre- e-eminently the representative of
the fighting Confederate element, while
his abstinence from politics since the
considerations. Moreover, he says no
man in the South is more respected at
the North tn IN Gen. Johnston. These
are samples Of the influences that are
brought to bear upon Gen. Johnston.
He will probably reach final deter
mination tonight.
Gen. Sherman desires correction
OF the report that he officially re-
commended Gen. Johnston for the po-
sition of Secretary of War. 1t is his
custom to eulogize Gen. Johnson as
a man and soldier whenever his name
liz brought up in conversation, but such
eulogy is of a purely personal nature.
He has never said anything to Hayes
or anybody else that could be construed
into q recommendation. BUELL..

Not a Republican Believe that Packard

Especial to N. o. Democrat

WASHINGTON, March ST have just
heard Hayes inaugural address. 1t is
the same as the letter Of acceptance.
Hayes dwelt particularly on the neces-
ssity Of local self-government in the
Southern States, and called for abo-
aition Of sectional and color lines. He
preferred his country to his party. I
have not seen Democrat or Repub-
dicaf who thinks Packard has the least
chance of support from Hayes.
