in the Legislature may be looked
for.
Did I mention the attempt of So
licitor Rayner to whip the Editor of
the National Republican, The So
licitor is a comparative stranger here,
and the attacks Of that paper, he
supposing it to have some standing
with the public, naturally irritated
him, and he attempted to get even
by striking the ed He not only
got the worst of the fight, but had
to pay fine. The Republican Office
is strong in muscle, if not in intellect
or finances. 1t is not, the friends of
the Administration say, unlikely
that trouble may soon occur between
this country and Mexico. There
seems to be no good reason why
peaceful relations should not con-
tinue between the two countries.
There are raids of Mexicans and
Mexican Indians across the border,
and the annoyance to American citi-
zens aud the losses they suffer are
great. But the q. s. Government
has directed troops to cross the Rio
Grande in pursuit of all marauders,
and until such crossing is resisted,
there would seem to be no reason
for interference by our troops be-
yond such arrests as are made by
troops SO crossing. It is not under
stood here that any resistance will
be made to the use of United States
troops on Mexican soil for legitimate
purposes under the original order to
General Ord.
There is serious inquiry among
non-military people, as there has
long been among Army officers here.
as to the reasons for the prolonged
Indian war in the Northwest. It is
said by General Towards friends
that the war is away from regular
communications, and that rel nforce-
ments cannot be secured, but it does
not appear that any reinforcements
have been needed in any battle SO
far fought. The fault, if any, has
been that the Indians were allowed
to surprise our troops, or that our
troops attacked the Indians without
knowing their strength. There are
things which proper degree of Wig
Hence ought to prevent.
For many reason it seems to he
best that some one besides Howard
be given control of operations, and
the belief is now general that o
change will be made. RENO.
