In the political canvas in Ohio last
fall Gen. James A. Garfield and Geo.
H. Pendleton held several joint dis
cussions. At one of these, Pendleton
asked Garfield about the passage OF
the demonetizing act Of '73. 1t must
be remembered that Garfield was then
. member of the House and Chair
man of the Committee upon Appro-
priations. Garfield, in answer, says :
"My friend put the categorical
question to me whether, at the time
the law passed, l was aware of the ef-
feet that law would have. Perhaps I
ought to be ashamed to say 90, but it
is the truth to cay that ], at that time
being chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, and having my hands
oyerfull during all that time with
work, never read the bill. l took
it upon the faith of q prominent DEM
ocrat and prominent Republican,
and l don't know that voted at all.
There was NO call Of the ayes and
noes, and nobody opposed that bill
that know of. 1t was put through
as dozens Of bills are. as my friend
and I know, in Congress, on the faith
of the report of the chairman of the
committee therefore, 1 tell you, be-
cause il is the truth, that I have no
knowledge about it.

monetized by very few men, without

bers of Congress and without the

there, and We have sufficient to at

we might draw from all this is, that
there is probability that war

several attempts were made By Amer

The people Of the county opposed this

Recently an attempt was made to

tend ON the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grande for ten or fifteen miles, and
the people of San Elizario, town ON
the American side. The Mexican
population ON the American side 10
largely in the ascendant, and al Op-
| posed to interference in the salt busi-
ness. There grew out Of this new At
temptto levy toll, feud between the
Mexican or native residents Of the
Texas county and the American resi-
dents Of the same county. Judge
Howard, an American resident, was
. leader ON one side, and an Italian,
named Cards, leader on the other,
A few months ago Howard, acting %
the agent for persons claiming to be
the owners Of the salt ponds, became
involved in . difficulty with Cards
and shot him. This caused 90 much
indignation against Howard that he
was compelled to leave the county
and take refuge at Presidio. The kill
ling Of Cards intensified the antago-
nism between the two parties Ia El

After the arrival of the state troops
Judge Howard returned to his home. |
and delivered himself to the civil au-
thorities. The anti-Howard, or anti
toll party, made an attempt to lynch
Howard, and the state troops in an
attempt to defend him, were sur
rounded and q fight ensued. The
state troops were overpowered, and
the dispatches state that Howard and |
others were lynched.
This is bad state Of affairs, but II
must be remembered that the people
who defy the authoritity Of the state
are residents Of the state; It is not q
conflict between Americans and Mex
leans, but is defiance of the state law
BY lawless men OF the border. The
Governor Of Texas asked for United
States troops to suppress the trouble,
and the few troops now hurrying to
the point will, without doubt, be able
to keep the peace.
