sudden Departure of an ex-Tax Collector
for Somewhere.
The contests in Che Packard Shaw Court about
the State Tax Dictatorship Of the First District,
in which Ed. Fulton sought to eject Major Burke
from that Office and signally failed, on account Of
the impotence Of that tribunal, will recall proba
bly, Fulton to mind. He effulged here for many
years. but now IL seems according to current talk
he has left for the sunny slopes OF California tt
join james CLARK, not entirely unknown here.

Missions or San joaquin Valley.

what Old soldiers Think of the New

The recent dispatches published in the DEMO
Graf relative to = prospective raid by organized
bands from the United States has caused consid-

to secure any, are
TAKING TO THE SCHEME
very fayorsbly.
A DEMOCRAT reporter had long conversation
with quite number Of those out OF work relative
to the prospect Of securing one or two regiments
in New Orleans to 20 down to Mexico to aid this
novel project.
One old Confederate said that il well known
leaders could be put at the head OF the scheme
two thousand men could be raised in sixty days
here, but If ordinary men were $50 boss the job,
the true fighting material would not touch 1t.
One Italian said he would go anyway; he
wanted change, and IL there was any hope FOL
money
HE WOULD JOIN AT ONCE.
A carpenter, who ia out Of work, said to the re-
porter that rather than be idle for the summer
he would enlist tomorrow; but a friend OF his
who was enjoying siesta in Jackson Square
merely dismissed the project by saying: 1.-THE
whole game is damn foolishness, and will enc
like Walkers trip down to Costa Rico"
This expedition was the main topic OF CONVEX
sation in the smaller cabarets and groceries
where loungers out OF work congregate, ant
the pros and cons Of the debate showed that
| large part OF the poorer class of the people her
are ready to take Mexico if excuse was offere,
