THE Mexican Government has with
drawn from the agreement entered into
with the United States between them in
regard to cooperative movements against
MEXICAN cattle raiders. The effect of
this withdrawal will be to give force to
the previous instructions to the Mexican
commander to resist any attempt on the
part of the American commander to pur-
sue marauders across the border by
armed force. The L. S. authorities will
Of course not recede from the instructions
which they have given Gen, Ord to pur-
sue and punish marauders on Mexican
soil. Consequently we are on the edge
of serious difficulty with Mexico from
causes very similar to those which brought
on the war of 1916.

The Oregon & sc.

The following extract from the pro
ceedings of the Committee beaded BY that
virtuous aud christian patriot, Senator
Morton, of Indiana, sent to investigate
the alleged corruption in the case of the
election of Governor Grover to the L.
5. Senate from Oregon, will show the
desperate means resorted to by the Rad
zeal leaders to prevent the increase Of
Democratic strength in shat body. In
view of such revelations as are here made,
contemporary suggests that if an honest
investigation could be had one-third the
present Radical Senators would be driven
from their seats for bribery aud corrup-
ton, and old Merton and Mitchell would
head the procession:
The Congressional Committee on Monday
examined ID. ". Butler, who denied havin z
received money from any source to vote for
Grover.
VIM. Goodman testified that Stiles state
ment regarding hims was false He never
received the promise of Office, money or any
ether mpcnsation for his vote
Both these witnesses were members of the
Legislature. A number of other members
testified TO knowing nothing about cOrrup-
ton in the election.
A. E Lake had been hired bv fellow
named Highly To take affidavit that he saw
s. 800 paid to Moser tn vote for Grover.
He made a counter affidavit, in which he
denies the trnth of the first and proapunccs
the whole statement false. He was prom
ised that he should be subpnnaed To
Washington and get money for il. II. re-
ceived an order Wit Waters, United
States marshal, for 5000 for making the aft
davit.
J. L. Williams was secreted under bed
and heard substantially the agreement
made between Lake and Highly, i'm which
conversation Highly promised to give Lake
an order for 5000 On Waters, United States
marshal.

The DisOrSanizIng Circular.

We find the following card in the Me-
Comb City Intelligencer from Hon. j.
NJ. Causey. 1t speaks for itself:
PIKE COUNTY, Mss, Aug. 1>t, 1877.
Capt. Chas II. Townsend:
DEAR SIR:-My attention has been called
to an article in the Carton Mail OF the 2,th
ult., headed That Famous Circular" to
which my name, with number of others.
i attached, proposing 10 pack the beat dis
trict and county conventions for the pur-
pose OF controlling the nominations for the
various officers TO be elected this fail. | de-
sire simply to state that never the cir
cular above referred to before yesterday,
and that the use OF my name is entirely un-
authorized and made without my consent
Respectfully,

SAMBo as usual played his part in the
late insurrection. Quite ludicrous
scene occurred at Philadelphia y com
Pany of blacks were being sent to the
scene of one of the disturbances by rail.
The train men discovering the fact UNI
coupled the cars-the engineer, fremen,
and the rest left their post and vowed
that they should not be transported
and they were not. At St. Louis, Sam
DO pitched in lively. One of his valor-
Gus deeds is thus recorded in the Globe
Democrat
A number of brawny negro STRIKERS"
yesterday marched into bagging factory,
and compelled a lot of poor girls to stop
work. The girls protested that they were
cOntented with their wages and their
places, but the negroes were masters of the
situation. Incidents of this kind make US
wonder what Calling guns were made for.
