The New York Coffee JObbers.
m. Y. Herald

The trouble that has arisen between the, mer-
chants of Western cities and the New York cot
fee jobb ers still continues, but the probability is
that the latter will be compelled to yield to their
New York lobbers has been now going on Tor
about three weeks, but the action of the Cinein-
natl mercha nts on Thursday last has occasioned
rather a bac kdowr in the high-handed course
the meeting in Cincinnati assurances were re-
ceived from other cities of cooperative action
in fighting the New York men. and rs New Or
leans and other Southern cities have already
more. or less, engaged in the coffee business,
threats we re held out that New Orleans espe-
cially wou Id be made a substitute for New York
i'm this bra nch of trade. 1t is asserted by bust
ness men familiar with the coffee business that
New Orle ans could be easily made a center of
this trade for the Western men. and that If New
York persisted in it's bltrary dictation there
was no doubt of the loss of the business to this
city. The recent developments show that the
Western dealers are resolved to be placed upon
the same footing as merchants in PHILADELPHIA
toward whom the New York men Intellectually
en9eavored to carry out the obnoxious plan.
The single prominent firm which refused to
sign the circular announcing the change COM
planned OF yesterday, issued the following cir

and belo nging to no combination. the under

party presenting the written or teegraphic

ut was also stated to the reporter by large
wholes ale dealer that one of the lobbing firms
yesterday signifed an intention to follow the in,
structions of their purchasers, irrespective OF
the arbitrary circular to which the firm had
already given its signature. 1t was further
stated that other firms had also begun to grow
alarmed at the rather serious dimensions to
which this trouble has grown.

The sudden approach of cold weather has had
a very serious effect upon our agricultural in

but the Ice was very thin, aud readily gave way
to the dissovng effects of the sun; but yester

to the north during the night, was very cold,
and the ice forming was Of greater thickness.
We hear accounts from the country that many
of our sugar planters have been forced to resort
to wind-rowing. and that the crop will be there
by most seriously eurtailed. On this account
the receipts must necessarily be small for some
days to come.

Soaring the Wrong Nan.

A man by the name of Joe Forest,
who resides ten miles below here on
Rogue river, was shot and instantly
killed yesterday morning by one of his
neighbors, who is known by the name of
Dutch John. Forest had the reputa-
tion of being very quarrelsome and
abusive with those who came In contact
with him. 1t was only few days ago
that he whipped one of his neighbors to
hurry up the payment ola 80 debt.
Report says he has been trying to run
Dutch John off a mining claim, and at
the time of the shooting he went to his
cabin early in the morning and called
to him to get up and come out, that he
wanted to kill him. The man, fearing
his life, fired through the door with his
rifle, the ball passing through the brain
of Forest, causing instant death. [Santa

The English ca binet is said to be
divided on Gortschakoff's reply. Derby
and Salisbury think the Russian as
surances satisfactory. Beaconsfield is
stubborn on some points, and declares
further diplomatic correspondence nee
cessary before England can absolutely
define her position. The language of
of the note is firm and
dignifed and the tone of the press has
undergone a remarkable change since
the recent ministerial utterance, almost
every journal of repute pointing out that
British interests are in no way jeop-
ardized by the Asiatic campaign, but
that there is danger that the Porte may
offend England if not careful as to its
action in regard to the Suez canal.
Turkey is warned by the Times that
the decision of the government on this
point relates as much to her as to
Russia.

Governor Stone, of Mississippi, is re-
ported to have said about the Kemper
county murderers that in his belief no.
body would be convicted for these out
RACES, because the population Of the
neighborhood would not furnish a jury
which would convict any one, though
the murderers are well known. This
is bad character for the Governor of
a State to give any locality. Apply the
same rule to all the localities, and
murderers would never be punished.
Isn't the Governor encouraging law
lessness by making such remaaks?

of Q ueen Victoria is now exhibited in

time it was made the Queen was a

is graceful; the hair glossy brown. the
eyes lustrous gray, the nose Grecian,

was so pleased with the Americans
work that she gave him her autograph,

WHAT PEACE WOULD DO FOR MEXICO.


Ten years of peace in Mexico would
work wonders in that land. Its rich
mines would begin to again yield their
almost fabulous riches, and its tropical
and semi-tropical regions would soon
astonish the world with their produc-
tions; coffee, sugar, tobacco and other
things we pay so dear for, from a re-
gion of almost endless seasons. And
instead of all this wealth going into
British pockets, the United States
would be the favorite, in fact have the
inside track, and we would drive for
eign fabrics from every mart of trade
in Mexico, and we would handle their
doublooms and Mexican dollars. The
power behind the throne would wave
the magic wand to accomplish the best
of understandings between the two re-
publics. An international railway
would soon be built to facilitate trade
and commerce. Cheyenne would have
direct communication via the Denver
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande rail
roads. Every industry in the United
States would be quickened and inn
proved by the opening and quieting of
Mexico. Thousands Of idle men
and women would find work, and our
countrymen would find relief from our
own political ills by turning good Sa-
maritans to Mexico-a neighbor who
has fallen among thieves, has been rob-
bed, beaten, and lies wounded by the
roadside.

Captain BurtSn's Discoveries in the Land
of MidIan.

Captain BurtSn's Discoveries in the Land
of MidIan.
A correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Alexandria, in
forms the public that Captain Burton,
the African traveller, has made
''find" of unusual interest. At the re-
quest of the Khedive he has visited the
''land of Midian," the desolate region
on the other side of the Gulf of Aka
bah, the easternmost of the two long
and narrow estuaries in which the Red
Sea ends.
Accompanied by NJ. George Marie, a
French engineer, Captain Burton
landed in Midian on the I'd of April,
and in an exploration of some weeks
explored region full of ruined towns,
built of solid masonry, with made
roads, aqueducts five miles long, artifi-
cial lakes and massive fortresses, all
marking wealthy and powerful people.
Their wealth was based on mining
operations, and Captain Burton reports
the existence of gold, silver, tin, anti
mony and turquoise mines. The auri-
ferrous region is extensive; indeed, the
discoverer believes he has opened up a
California, and the Khedive proposes to
nave JIG Couulry WoTheu ny European
capitalists.
1t will be remembered that in the
Bible INDIAN is always described as a
land full of metals, especially gold sill
yer and lead. 1t is more than probable
that Solomon's Ophir was situated
there, the small ships in which he i'm
ported gold, ivory and peacocks were
launched at the head of the Red Sea-.
