CINCINNATI, July IA Washington special

on the subject of Blaine's Woodstock speech
and the Mexican policy Of the Administers
tion. He says there was nothing secret or
covert, or underhanded in his Mexican pol
icy.

OF the government to protect It's citizens from
Mexican raids. No hostile movement
toward Mexico is intended, and no sensible
man would think 50. With respect TO the an
nexation policy the President states emphati-
cally that in his Judgment the United States
do not wish any more territory, certainly not
III that direction, and would not accept it If
rendered as gift.

REVIVAL OF THE REPORT THAT
NN. TILDEN WILL CONTEST
WIIE~tS TITLE

A Washington correspondent, May 20,
says: The National Republican Of yes
terday reyiycs the old story current
here a month ago that Mr.. Tildcn in
tends 10 test Mr. Hayes's legal right to
the Presidency under the last section Of
the Electoral Commission bill. to which,
according TO the same authority, Fields
QUO Warranto bill Is TO be supplements
cd. The latter bill is to be pressed to q
passage in both houses at the next ,ses>
sion, and under it Hayes is he oustcd,
il says, upon the evidence taken by the
Congressional committees sent to the
doubtful States and now in the hands Of
Mr. Tiiden. There is no doubt that all
but one Of the members Of the Louisia~
ma Returning Board would now honest
ly certify the electoral vote Of Louisiana
to Mr.. Tilden, if they had the opportu-
nifty, and regret that they counted both
Tilden and Nichols out. Even old
Wells says that If Nichols is the lawful
Governor Of Louisiana, Tildeu is the
lawful President Of the United States;
but, at the same time, il is doubted by
the latter's friends here If any proceed
ing in the nature Of quo waranto is to.
be instituted 10 depose Hayes. Mr.. Mer-
rick, Of counsel before the Commission,
knows nothing oft.

N'Mahon, the President Of France, is
evidently inclined 10 turn the Republic
into an Empire again. His recent do
ings create suspicion and uneasiness,
and his coup d'Etat will not receive
the endorsement OF the French peo-
pie.
The Times Paris dispatch has the
following: "France viii doubtless pro-
nounce Overwhelmingly against Presi-
dent MacMahon at the elections even If
the Senate gives a majority in favor Of
dissolution, which is very doubtful Tie
refusal ofthe Senate to authorize 4 dis
solution would inevitably cause Mac
Mahon's resignation"
