All the resigning members are Republi.
cans who have been compelled to this

Smalls and Cardoza. Of the ten yacan.
eies four have been filed by the recent
election of Democrats.
The significant fact of these elections
is that the Democratic Senator elected
from this county received 1,082 out OF
1O64 votas--the whole number polIsd-
against a Republican majority, last
year, Of 23. The Democratic Senator.
elect from Charleston is returned on a
vote OF ,566 out Of 1,581-the whole
number east. Hayes' majority In that
county last year was $500. SO com.
pletely overwhelming has been the tide
OF public sentiment since the conviction
Of the ring thieves that the negroes
manifested no interest In the
election, and seem utterly Indifferent
to the right for which they so loudly
clamored last year, and the white vote
is not more than ons-third Of the num-
Der heretofore cast.
The l0ag-expected report of the In.

tomorrow. No doubt they will declare
Senator Patterson guilty Of the crosses st
and nnblushing bribery, and recommend
that legal proceedings be Instituted
against MIN.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 2S.-Lieutenant
j. Ord, who is on the staff of General
Ord, arrived in this CITY yesterday, with
Major Bates, from the Bio Grande.
Lieutenant Ord states with regard to
the condition Of affairs on the border,
| that in his opinion there is no immedi-
ate danger Of difficulties occurring. The
chief disturbances arise from the raids
| Of the Lipan Indians, who reside about
one hundred and fifty miles from the
Rio Grande. These Indians, living on
Mexican soil, claim protection Of tina,
Government.
They freqhently cross the river In
| small bodies and make descent on the
| most accessible ranches, carrying of
what cattle they can lay hands on. These
raids are usually made ON moonlight
nights, and at places where no troops
are stationed. The principal body oi
Mexican troops are quartered at Pier
dras Negras, and there are United
States troops at Fort Clark, which is
opposite. There are only two regiments
OF cavalry and three ofinfantry In Texas,
a force entirely Inadequate in case OF al

oentrate force Of thirty thousand men
on the border.
Considerable excitement Ia created by
the papers In that section Of the coun-
try, and the Mexican journals teem with
infammatory publications, but the hos
tile feeling is manifested chiefly by the
lower classes, and does not prevail to
any extent amc ng residents Of the inte'
rior.
Lieut.. Ord states 1t is rumored that
Gen. Trevino, who is in command Of the
Northern frontier OF Mexico, had been
ordered to the Rio Grande with twenty
thousand men by President Dinz. Gen
Escobedo, who was recently tried for Q
violation of the neutrality law, and &C
quilted by a jury composed OF eleven
Mexicans and one German, is still or
the border but has a small folio wing. J..
