SAN ANTONIO, Nov. H.-Special i'm
formation has been received at head
quarters from the border, that several
large parties of Indians, one of them
composed Of thirty-five bucks, have
crossed into Texas to raid. General
Ord has notified the frontier people
at various points where the raiders
are expected, to be on their guard.
This is the most formidable invasion
attempted yet. Indians were seen IL
miles west of Fredericksburg, yester-
day, and have stolen horses in this
neighborhood. Citizens are in pur-
suit. Tho military have been mott
fed. This is supposed to be one OF
their large parties reported to be on
q raid. This party is going west

ST.. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE Globe
Democrats special from Houston,
Texas, says it is rumored that Col.
Villiareal invaded Mexico fifty miles
above Matamoras in the interest Of
Gen. Escobedo and Lerdo, and to stir
up q revolution in Tamaulipas. VIII
lareal's force is too small and made
quatc to cope with Gen. Canales,
commanding Tamanlipas, but he ex-
poets to be joined by adherents Of
Lerdo. Latest advices say that Lieut..
Bulls has undoubtedly destroyed the
Indian camp at Sargossa. It is GER
tain that party of Mexicans and In
dams from Chihuahua and northern
Mexico have crossed into Texas on
the war path, in revenge for the in
vasion by Lieut.. Bulls. Gen. Ord
has cautioned the inhabitants Of the
threatened districts to be on guard.
The latest from Ell Paso county
is that that entire region is under
control ola Mexican mob, backed by
Mexicans south of the river, defying
the United States authorities and
claiming allegiance TO the Mexican
flag. General Ord declines to inter-
fere in a matter that concerns the
state of Texas. Major Jones, COM
handing the Texas fontier battalion,
is at FL Paso, but he has not force
enough to put down the revolt. II
is believed that Gen. Escobedo will
attempt to precipitate another rcvo-
luton in Mexico. The situation il
wArlike.

THE CABINET RESIGN.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-The MOntteur
(semi-OfficiaD announces that Ut this
Cabinet council the Minis
tiers rendered their resignation
Duke De Broglie and M. Fourton ex-
planned that they were most devoted
friends of the Marshal but considered
. change of the Ministry necessary, %
the Chamber might refuse to vote .
budget while the present Cabinet re-
tanned Office.
President MacMahon accepted their
resignations but asked the Minister
to hold their portfolios until their
successors were appointed and give
him the benefit Of their advice and
cooperation in the negotiations FOR
the formation of . Cabinet. The
Ministers did not conceal their opin-
ion that 1t would be difficult for them
to assist In that task, and suggested
the cooperation Of the influential
members Of the Constitutional party
in both Chambers.
Since the Council, President Mac
Mahon has held . consultation with
various leading politicians, Senators
and Deputies upon whose devotion
he thinks he can rely.
It IL said that delegates from yari.
GUS groups of the Right in the Senate
will hold . conference tomorrow
upon which all decisions respecting
the formation of the new Cabinet will
depend.
Thirty Senators belonging to tn,
Constitutional party and to the 1sigh
Centre, waited upon the Marsha
Thursday evening and assured him O
their devotion, but declared that the,
could not support the Cabinet in
policy of resistance.
i At q preliminary meeting of tn
Senators this morning, NJ. Bocher
leader Of the constitutional group
whose votes can turn the scale in tn
Senate, said that the salvation of tn
!, country was at stake, and that tn
, Cabinet ought to advise the Presi
dent to come to an understanding
with the moderate members of tn
Left. M. Bocher declared that h
and his q colleagues would agree t
another dissolution of the Chambe
Of Deputies.
Although the announcement of tn
resignation of the Ministers is not OF
, fetal, yet if confirmed would certain
ly be deemed to give satisfaction, an
in accord with public opinion. Pres
ident MacMahon seems altogethe
Z opp sed to violence, and this morn
ing, in a conversation with an oil
friend, he secuted the idea of cOM
IL etdt as being purposeless.

THE PoLICY.


WASHINGTON, Nov. ia caucus
OF republican Senators was held, this
afternoon. Those Senators who
waited upon the President to acquaint
him with the comments Of the previ-
ous caucus, gave an account Of what
took place. They reported that the
President, in response to the state
ment of the widespread nneasiness
and dissatisfaction which had been
created among his party friends by
his appointment Of democrats to
Southern offices, had argued that
his policy in this regard was not
prejudicial to the interests of the re-
publican party, and certainly was
not adopted by him from any want
of earnest desire for the perpetuation
and maintenance of republican pow
er and principles. On the contrary it
was his expectation and belief that .
pursuance of this policy would pro-
mote the coalition of the old whig
and various other elements naturally
opposed to the democratic party in
the South, and would eventually So
cure six or eight Southern States for
tho republicans. All the Senators at
the interview expressed themselves
to the caucus as being convinced that
the President was thoroughly sincere
in this belief. They also reported
that the President was very DESTROYS
to be in harmony with the leaders OF
his party, and was gratified to have
had an opportunity of ascertaininG
thus definitely and clearly the view
expressed. Advice and candid crit.
cism would always be welcome t.
him, and he hoped and believed tina
there would be less cause for com
plant in future. At all events, i
there should be differences of opin
ion, there need be no occasion for ill
feeling, and he trusted there woul(
be none. A free discussion followed
as to the propriety and probable Of
fects Of the Presidents policy in cas-,
it should be acquisced in by the Sen
ate. An interchange of views devel
oped the almost unanimous opinion
that the policy of appointing demo
Gratis to office in the South is not wis
or sound. and Senators known q
friends Of the administration, ex
pressed doubts whether its pursu
ance would have the effect of whicl

account Of tracking Rande ever since
he killed two men and wounded an
other who were pursuing him thro'
q cornfield at st. Elmo, Ills, last Au-
gust, after he had robbed the house
Of Mrs. Belden of that place.
There is no doubt about his identi-

the valise he pawned with Wrigh.
here last July, and it is likely he will
be further identified by the people of

Inc appointment OF ID. r. felXOtCO,
Of San Francisco, consul general at
st. Petersburg, is one Of the best evil
dences Of the fact that persistency is
q good thing in seeking an Office
Peixotto was consul to Roumania UNI

who has been in this city ever since
the 4th of March seeking foreign
appointment. He has made daily
calls at the white house until his ap-
plication has been considered almost
In the light of joke. He has day by

came such nuisance that he had to

Chicago Times.
This man Peixotto, ifhe is confirm
ed by the Senate, will succeed Gen.
George Pomutz, who was appointed
Consul at st. Petersburg directly af-
ter the close Of the war.
General Pomutz is a Hungarian,
and was educated at Pesth in the Mil
itary Academy. He was Major on
Kossuth's Staff throughout the entire
struggle of that heroic leader to
achieve Hungarian independence and
separate Nationality.
At the end of that unavailing con-
fiict, he was expatriated, and came to
America with the Count UhazzIs
Colony which located at New Buda in
Decatur County, Iowa. When the
rebellion broke out Governor Kirk
wood, at the request of Col. Hugh 7.
Reid, made Pomutz Adjutant of the
18th Iowa, in which regiment he
served during the entire war, becom-
ing SUCCESSFULLY Major, Lieutenant
Colonel, and Brevct Brigadier Gencr-
al. He was an accomplished and gall
liant officer. and:cspecially excelled in
the clerical details and administra-
tive organization, for which his early
aud thorough military education had
prepared him.
After his appointment as Consul
General, Pomutz had no further need
Of home support or political backing
because of the fact that his fine bust
ness requirements and linguistic
knowledge Che was master Of seven
languages) made him indispensable
20 the Ministers Plenipotentiary at
st. Petersburg he has served under
from time to time, to-wit: Gen.
Cassius M. Clay, Hon. James l.. Orr.
(died in office) Governor Marshall
Jewell and Hon. George II. Boxer,
just now being relieved by Hon. E.,
H. Stoughton.
General Pomutz WAS appointed
from our Des Moines District, on the
recommendation of an immense NUM-
Der of the leading military and polit-
ical men Of Iowa, and we have heard
but good words of his official
abroad.
He is succeeded by man whom iii
seems, understands the value OF the
maxim that one campaign at Court
is worth two in the field, and thus
Iowa and the country at large has
lost the services of an accomplished
and distinguished representative of
its commercial interests, at st. Peters,
