News From New Orleans.

New Orleans, Oct. 9.-The news
from Mexico is attracting universal
attention here. Further developments
are most eagerly looked for. All sorts
of views are set forth regarding the
probabilities of war and its dimen-
sions. Everybody knows that strug-
gle even with power so puny as Mex
leo, would cost much in blood and
treasure. Still, among the more sober
citizens there is feeling that our Gov
ernment cannot afford to tolerate Mex
ican insolence, nor to permit the border
to remain forever a scene of turmoil.
Our leading military men say the pres
ent state of affairs on the border can
not be endured much longer. Since
Mexico cannot preserve the peace on
her side Of the line, it will be necessary
for our troops to occupy her territory,
which will result in war. They think
that if the crash must come at all, now
is the time to bringit on. The Louisi-
ana and Texas troops would probably
lldNc W Utttl IiiC VI uhp VI lilc olIuSSlt,
especially in case of any summer cam
paign in malarious district, where
none but men acclimated to Southern
diseases could be used. 1t is thought a
declaration of war would excite the
widest enthusiasm in this city. Not
only would the vast array of the unem-
ployed rush to arms, but there are a
large number of adventurous spirits
here in prosperous circumstances for
whom the excitement of war has a re-
sistless charm. The sentiment of this
community is almost solid for war.
New Orleans would be the gamer
by it. She would be the base of opera
tions while the campaign lasted and
when peace came the rich territory
conquered would be tributary to her
commerce.

Duncan, the Banker, Decamps


San Francisco, Oct. "a committee
of depositors to-day commenced an in
vestigation of the affairs of the Pioneer
bank. The cashier, who assisted them,
stated that Duncan was practically the
sole stockholder. 1t is believed that
very little will be left for the depositors,
as the real estate included in the assets
is heavily mortgaged, and the stock
of the Safe Deposit company, which
constituted the balance of the assets,
has been hypothecated by Duncan. p.
j. White has been appointed receiver
of the bank. An examination of cer-
tificates of stock of the Safe Deposit
company handed in by the holders
show that an over-issue of about four
thousand shares has been made, on
which Duncan has realized in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The belief is that
most of tlIis has been swallowed up in
floating the bank, and that Duncan has
taken comparatively small amount
with him in his flight. W. I. Duncan,
of the Pacific Stock exchange and a son
of the absconding banker, denies that
the bank has been affected by his stock
operations and attributes the failure to
unsuccessful real estate speculations.
The police have not yet succeeded in
finding any trace of Duncan.

Republican, as Usual.

Dubuque, Oct. 9.-Reports indicate
the election Of the Republican state
ticket by about 10000. over the Demo-
cratic ticket. Gear (Republican), can
didate for Governor, has been consider
ably scratched by temperance men, who
voted for Jessup, the temperance can
didate. Gear will run at least 5000
behind the rest of the ticket. The
Greenback state ticket, will receive
from $1,000 to 10000 votes, and the
Temperance ticket about 5000 votes.
The Republicans will have about thirty
majority in the Senate and from thirty
five to forty in the House, insuring the
election of Republican U. s. Senator.

The Presidents Policy.

Washington, Oct. ct is again in
timated, and in more positive terms
than ever, that the President had sig
nified his disapproval of the meeting
called by the Union League for to-
morrow night to endorse his policy and
denounce Senator Conkling. Some of
the Presidents advisers say that he
does not intend to coRciliate the Wade
Hampton element and break with the
members of his own party who disagree
with him in regard to matters of public
policy.

A letter from the Black Hills does
not give much encouragement to the
owners of the new-fangled mining
machinery, in which direction there is
no end of inventions. Nearly every
new invention of quartz crushing
machinery has undergone test there,
and still nothing has been able to super:
cede the old dead-weight drop stamp so
universally adhered to throughout the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast.
st. Louis and Chicago theorists have
labored incessantly but vainly against
the practical method long since adopt
ed as the best. and the promulgators Of
new-fangled ideas are the principal
losers.

patch from Austin says: 1.-The Gov
ernor has received the following dis
patch, and sent the reply annexed, from
which it appears that the extradition
treaty with Mexico and the comfy of
nations as well, affords no satisfaction
or redress for past grievances, no guar
antees for the future. The dispatch
received by the Governor is from Ex-
tradition Agent Russell, at Laredo, and
is as follows:''
81 received last night from the COM
mander at Fort Brown, the following
telegram:
The five persons in Matamoras, and
for whom you have been making requi-
sition, were on yesterday released and
turned loose.
The dispatch is signed by Col. Price,
of the U. S. army. The prisoners re-
ferred to are three murderers from
Duval, who have been heretofore de-
manded. Have you any instructions
to give ?''
To which the Governor replied as
follows:
Your dispatch informs me, covering
some advices from Col. Price, of the
U. S. army, that the Mexican authori-
ties have at last set the extradition
treaty openly in defiance. Inform them
that l shall regard their action in re-
leasing these murderers, indicted in
Texas and formally demanded by you,
as conclusive evidence of either inabil-
ity to observe the treaty or hostility to
all Texans and Americans, and perhaps
both. You will cease to make other
demands until further orders. 1 shall
now appeal to the U. S. government for
the redress of our wrongs, SO long con-
tinued.
R. B. HUBBARD, Governor.
This is the fourteenth time that the
Mexican authorities have neglected to
comply with the demands for the ex-
tradition of those prisoners, but their
release has caused the Governor to
order no further action by Extradition
Agent Russell. On the 9th ult. the
Governor stated, after consultation
with Gen. Ord, that after the result is
known, which it was expected would
be refusal or failure of the Mexicans
to comply with the requisition, he
would turn the matter over to the Gen.
eral Government, which the Governor
expects will for the first time in twenty
five years act promptly and compel
Mexico to do her duty. 1t is generally
believed that full understanding exists
between the Texas state officials and
those of the National government.
The action by the Texas officials is con-
firmed by the following received by the
News from Laredo:
"Capt. Neal Caldwell, of the Texas
frontier protection battalion, state
troops, with two companies, has arrived
from Frio. Mexican guards are patrol
ling the river bank. Caldwell could
have enlisted a thousand men while en-
route here. He is accompanied by the
regimental surgeon, which looks as
though actual service is anticipated.
1t is reported that large number of
rangers are in from other points,

Boston, Oct. 9.-The triennial ses-

caucuses of comparative inactivity were
held to be the financial embarrassment
of the country and the unsettled policy
of society. Bishop Hall made an elab-
crate argument against the tendency
to error of the church ecclesiasticism.
1t was becoming hardly inferior to that
of the Church of Rome.
