A CASE OF FINANCIAL TRANSUB-
,r.o STANTI4TI0N. Co.,

st. Louis, June 15-The Times has
special from Mount Vernon, Illinois,
which says Monday last the Mount Yer
non National Bank shipped, by Adams
Express, a package containing $4,000, to
the Third National Bank of St. Louis
Wednesday the Mount Vernon bank re-
ceived a telegram from st. Louis saying
the package contained only pieces Of
brown wrapping paper cut the size Of
bank-notes. The bank officers here say
the package showed no evidence Of hav-
ing been tampered with, but 1t contained
no money. The Express people say the
package was delivered TO the bank here
just as it was received by their agent at
Mount Vernon, the seals being intact
and the wrapper untouched. The cash
ier of the Mount Vernon bank was here
yesterday and said the wrapper and
seals of the package were the same as
used by the bank. There is great mys-
terry in the case, which is being investi-
gated by both the banks and the Express
officials.

DURING the trial of B. @. Davis, at Bur-
lington, Iowa, on the charge Of arson, a
Juror was taken sick and both sides agreed
to 90 on with eleven. A verdict of gull
ty was rendered, and prisoners counsel
moved an arrest of Judgment on the
ground that the constitutional right to
trial by twelve men could not be waived.
The motion prevailed, and the State has
appealed, bringing the question before
the higher Court for the first time in the
history of the State of Iowa.

A WoMAN's INvENTIoN.-At Berlin, on
the morning of the entrance of the vlctor1-
Gus troops after the Austro-Prussian war,
a young and distinguished officer OF the
Cuirassiers, who had received q cut of the
sabre from an Austrian Uhlan, was pay
ing a visit to his iancee, q young lady at
tached to the Queens household. Her
lover entered her saloon in his full uniform,
wearing his helmet, and put 1t on a
small table in front Of the fire. By some
sudden movement, however, the young
officer upset the table, and the helmet
rolled into the fire. There was an express
sion of dlsmay caused by seeing the horse
tail of the helmet catch fire and burn
away in an instant. To join his regiment
aud pass the king wearing a singed he'll

impossi Bile, and still less was it possible to
absent himself on such a day. One ex-
asperating fact was that the helmet was

MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES.

There have been several abOrtive attempts
at revolution in Mexico of late, and at length
one was crowned with success, seating General
POlfrio Diaz IN the Presidential throne, and
sending adrift all the adherents of the previous
regime. OF course, this settled nothing it
only introduced a fresh crop of troubles.
Brigandage h0urishes like a green b~ay-tree,
and the military chiefs who supported PreSi-
dent Lerdo Immediately began plotting how to
secure another turn Of the wheel which should
reSeat him In power and depress his rival.
But both the |plotters and the bandits add to
the elements of insecurity in the Republic,
increase the crowd Of reckless oilers, and
diminish the rewards of steady industry. So
the prosperous Texas planters and farmers
feel the effects among the first, and raids
across the Rio Grande, chiefly to steal cattle,
become common and destructive. TO make
matters worse, the new Mexican President,
from a 7 most praiseworthy desire for retrench-
ment. reduced the military forces as soon as
be had got fairly seated in power, and thus re-
stored TO the already overdOwing ranks of idle
ness a large body of men whom custom and
tradition pointed out IS excellent raw material
for bandits, Consequently the authorities had
fewer troops TO guard the frontier, and a
much greater number Of enemies to match.

have now lost patience, aud Mr.. Evarts, the
Secretary Of State, is to address a letter to
the Mexican Government saying that if it does
not stop the raids the American military COM.

low The marauders into Mexican territory and
punish them there. Retaliation of this sort
will soon check the evil complained of if the
Mexican authorities possess sufficient power;
and it has now to be seen whether they will
be able to prevent the Americans from taking
the remedy for their grievance into their own
hands, or whether a collision with very TN.

is to be pitied as we'll as blamed, for no means
seem available to endOw her with a Govern

the Executive and the Legislature had the COM
nonsense and patriotism to alter their external
policy in Just three essential particulars
cultivate friendly relations with their American
ne ighbours; resume diplomatic Intercourse
with England and come to a settlement with
their national creditors, above all the bond
holders. Nothing would more speedily give
moral influence to the Government and at the
same time tempt foreign capital to enter the
and develop its great natural re-
sources. A policy which quarrels with the
Republic's immediate neighbours, holds sulki-
" aloof from the most progressive Powers IN
Europe, and emblazOns reputation of debts
on its standard, will never eed. If it
should be brought to an end by the "tif'

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE-The bulI-do-

Presidents declaration this morning at

ted States is their epitaph. Eester-
days session w9s the stormiest OF the
winter, and we doubt whether there
has been an occasion since pro-slavery
times in which the excitement equal
led or eXcelied that OF yesterday. The

mined to prevent, ii possible the decla-
ration Of Mr.. Hayes election have,
daring the whole week, been endeav-
Oring to profract the Court until noon
of march 1, and as each day arrived

until yesterday it eliminated in ram

President Hayes Takes the Oath

WAsHIsGToN, March 4.
Gov. Hayes was sworn in last night
as President Of the United States, at
7:3O o'clock, in the private reception
room OF Mrs. Gen. Grant, known as
the ''red parlor." For many reasons
it was deemed advisable by the eoun-
selors Of the President-elect that the
cath of Office should be administered
yesterday. The same reasons made it
seem necessary that the proceeding
should be temporarily kept secret, and
even this evening there are few per-
sons in Washington who are absolute
ly certain that the event occurred.
Gov. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes, and SEN
4tOr and Mrs. Sherman, arrived at the
White House yesterday evening to at
tend the State dinner at seven minutes
before Z O'Clock. At 7:20 the oath was
administered in the "red parlOr" by
Hon. Morrison r. Waite, Chief Justice
Of the United States. The only persons
present were President Grant and
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, as
witnesses, Gov. Hayes and Chief Jus
tice Waite. The ceremony was con-
Quoted 80 quietly and secretly that but
very few of the persons present at the
state dinner knew the fact, and it has
been by most of them stoutly denied.
Senator Sherman, who was supposed
to be the oracle upon the subject, was
approached by many persons early this
evening, who asked permission to be-
present at the supposed ceremony to.

form reply that there would be DO oath
administered to-siay. and that the usual
ceremonies of inauguration would tax.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the
