:. WASHINGTON, D. c., October 20.-Thcrc
is strong probability that Congress will
pass a general amnesty bill this season.
It will be remembered that the House
passed the bill two years ago. Cox will
introduce the same bill in the House Mon
day. and will press it. The friends of the
bill are sanguine it will pass the present
Senate.
The statement that Bristow and friends
are incensed at the nomination OF Harlan
for the Supreme Court Judge is not borne
out by the facts. Letters RECEIVED from
Bristow's friends heartily endorse the nomi-
nation.

RELEASE OF THE REMAINING RAIDERS UPON
THE RIO GRANDE JAIL.
WASHINGTON, October 20.-The State De-
partment to-day received official conhrma-
ton of the Press dispatch announcing that
the Mexican local authorities at Matamoras
had released the four remaining raiders
upon the Rio Grande Jail. The official re-
ports state that this action was taken upon
q plea that the persons are Mexican sub
iects, and therefore not liable to eNtradi-
ton. Notwithstanding the Mexican Cen
eral Government had ordered them to be
surrendered to our authorities regardless of
their nationality, General Canales, in con-
mand of the UiaZ forces at MatamoraS,
found the pressure OF local sentiment so
strong that he resigned rather than execute
the order; and further news as to the
power and intention OF the DiaZ Govern
mcnt to maintain its position on this sub
icct is now awaited with interest.
