The Rio Grande Difficulty.

A PLOT TO OVERTHROW DIAz AND PHECIPf-
TATE A WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES.
ST.. Louis, November 11.-Late advices
from El Paso say il is now believed there
were q number of emissaries of Ledro in
the band of Mexicans which crossed the
Rio Grande about two weeks ago and had
fight with Indians on Texas soil while osten-
sibly following Indians. There seems TO be
no doubt that the real object Of these Ler-
doists is to stir up new revolution and If
possible overthrow Diaz This band OF
Mexicans have not left yet, and are intrig-
uing and doing everything in their power
to rrecipitate q war between the United
States and the Diaz government in hope Of
overthrowing the latter ana again obtaining
power for themselves. II is said Lerdos
agents are very active all along the Rio
Grande and are also plotting within the army
of Diaz. General Hibbard, Of Texas, re.
turned to Austin yesterday to consult with
General Ord and General Steele, the latter
of the State forces. regarding the present
state of affairs on the frontier. Major
Jones, of the Texas battalion at Ell Paso,
has telegraphed the Governor that imme-
diate trouble is spprehended, and the Gov.
ernor has been solicited by a number of
persons, especially military officers, to pre-
cipitate conflict if the Federal Govern
ment will not. United States troops on the
Rio Graude are distributed as follows:
Fort Brown, 700; Ringgold, companies;
Fort NJ cIntosh, l company; Fort Duncan,
companies; Fort Clark, near Eagle Pass,
companies. Two thousand Texas militia,
under Brigadier General James, are organ
lied and ready to march across the Rio
| Grande. They only want the word.

Simple Revenue Tariff.

THE BILL THAI IS EXPECTED TO SAVE S2O,-
100000 PER ANNUM.
1t is announced from Washington that
Hon. Benjamin Willis, of New York, Of
fered bill in the house on Monday "to
simplify existing laws imposing and col
lecting duties upon imports, and to remove
all antiquities therefrom; also, to reduce
the rates on imported merchandise, restore
the duty upon tea and coffee and to enlarge
the free list" The bill comprises two huI.
dred and six sections and is comprehensive
in its character. 1t was prepared at the
suggestion and under The supe rvision of
Mr. Willis by an expert. The title clearly
indicates the scope of the bill. The distin-
gushing features are a reduction oftwenty'
six per cent, upon all imported articles with
the exception of raw materials which enter
manufactures; on these the duties are re-
duced in still greater degree; the restora-
tion of the duty on lea and coffee; the en-
largement of the free list; substituting for
the free list provision that all articles not
specified in the act shall be exempt from
duty. The author of the bill claims to have
removed all antiquities. The 'similitude
law is abolished and simplication aimed at
wherever practicable. Compound duties
are entirely done away with. The collec-
tion laws have been reduced to simpler lan-
guage. All fees have been discontinued
and salaries substituted. The naval Office,
in all ports of entry where appraisers de-
partments are established, are abolished
aud the liquidating clerks transferred to
the department Of appraisers to lie in fu'
ture under the direction of the chief
thereof. Bonds are to dispensed with,
except in cases of transportation from the
port of original entry. The United States
are made responsible for all cases of thefts
of merchandise while in official possession.
Purchasers of cargoes afoat are allowed
pay the duties thereon. Facilities are
provided for the payment of duties by al
lowing deposits of gold with sub-treasurers,
and the owners Of the same to check
thereon ''for duties only" All materials
which enter into the construction of vessels
are 10 be free Of duty. 1t is claimed for
the bill that lit provides for simple reve-
nue. tariff" and that sit will save the gov
ernment 500, ,O0O, 900 per annum in the cost
Of collecting duties, while vastly increasing
the receipts from imports" A printed key
will accompany the bill for use of the COM
mittee on ways and means.

The Titusville Herald, in a resume
of the petroleum development, says
that after the striking of the Drake
well, August %, 1856, Oil creek, from
Titusville to it's mouth, comprising
forty'five producing farms, was rap.
idly seized upon by spectators, and
in the space of three years the valley
became forest of derricks. In 1868
the derricks on the creek numbered
upwards of two thousand, and the
average cost of each we'll was little
over $4,000, making total expehdi-
ture for machinery and labor of from
Ss,OO0,O 900 to 100000 exclusive of
the prices paid for farms or the
royalty. In 1865 five of the farms
produced 5000 barrels daily, but now
yield only l40 barrels, while the en-
tire production of Oil Creek at present
does not exceed 1890 barrels per day.
The average price of oil was reduced
from $50 per barrel, in 1859, to SO. 60 in
1860, and in 1861, owing to increased
production, it declined to ten cents a
barrel, continuing at that figure until
February, 1862, when it rose to twenty
two cents. From this time on better
prices prevailed, and in July, 1864, it
reached $l3 go per barrel, but in the
following year the average price was
So l3, and at no time since then has it
reached that figure.

Counterfeit Notes,

The list of counterfeit notes compiled
by the Bankers Association at New
York, has attracted the attention of q
prominent official connected with the
Bank Redemption Agency of the
Treasury Department, who has given
considerable attention to the subject
of detecting counterfeit notes. This
gentleman declares that the list con-
tains 24 errors. He AYERS that IS of
the bonds named have never been
counterfeited. and it is further stated
that but three counterfeit notes have
appeared since the issue of 1869.
These are the $50 and $500 issues of the
series of 1863, and the recently discoy-
cred 81 600 issue of 1868 with the Wig
nette of Robert Morris. The energies
of the counterfeiters during the last
three years have been directed to
national bank notes, no less than
II counterfeits-l2 on fives, three
on tens, and two on fifties-having
been issued. The Secret Service force
have captured all the plates of coun-
terfeit bank notes, with exception of
those that have appeared within the
last two months. The following
plates have not been captured. Fives,
on the First National Bank of Tama-
qua, and fifties.On the Third National
Bank of Buffalo, n. Y, and the Cen
trail National Bank of New York City.
The following description of these
notes is given by B. G. Underwood.
Receiving Teller of the National Re-
demption Agency: all counterfeit
tives on the First National Bank of
Tamaqua, Pa that have been seen at
the Redemption Agency have had let
