MEYER AND WALKER.

I If the opponents of the measure for
the organization of the Black Hills
Territory had chosen the men to repre-
sent the Black Hills people before the
next Congress, they could not have
done worse. The telegraph has an
nounced the choice, by an adjourned
meeting of what they call territorial
convention" of Doc. Meyer and his
boon companion, Walker, the two
lllustrioris burnmers, who passed
through Cheyenne a few weeks ago. -
Instead of electing two representa-
tives from the many prominent and ex-
perienced public men, who have To-
Gated in the Black Hills, and who
would have conferred honor upon their
constituents, il chosen to represent the
interests of the Black Hills people be-
fore Congress, this 'tag-end'' of con-
vention has forced upon the people of
the Black Hills, as their representatives
in Washington, blatherskite of n Bo-
hemian, and worthless carpet-bagger,
who, as the Deadwood Times says,
''has an effrontery and cheek that
would make government mule blush
to the bones"
There is not the least doubt that the
Black Hills people have been imposed
upon by these two vagabonds, who
have prevailed on this convention" to
uiye then, the emnty honor of stan elec-
tion to congress- which election will
surely be repudiated by the people,
should the necessity for representation
in Washington exist next autumn. A
few weeks, will decide. the boundary
question, and if, as we expect, the min
ing settlements in the Black Hills shall
be found located west of the Dakota
line, the occupation of these two
worthless will be gone; for, within the
territory of Wyoming, the people of the
Black Hills will enjoy all the rights and
privileges they now seek in being sew
cred from Dakota Territory. @

TEXAS.
Preparing to Invade Mexic'

preparing 10 AlVaoC "SAiSo'
st. Louis, May 21.-Gen. Ord passed
through here last night from Texas, en-
route for Chicago, to consult Gen. Sher-
idan regarding the threatened invasion
of Mexico from the Texas border. Sew
eral prominent citizens of San Antonio,
Texas, including Gen. Baker, depot
quartermaster at San Antonio, arrived
on the same train. They report much
alarm along the Texas frontier, with
reference to the movements of eX-Pres-
ident Lerdo towards Mexico. They
say Lerdo is making great efforts to re-
instate himself as President of Mexico;
that there is much activity along the
Rio Grande by his partisans; that Gen
erals Escobedo and Varquez are his
chief supporters; that the latter has
armed and equipped 600 cavalry within
a few days past; that several shipments
of arms have recently arrived ut San
Antonio; that recruiting is rapidly 60
ing on. and that Lerdo evidently in
tends to make American soil his base
of supplies and operations until he is
strong enough to take stand in MeXi-
co. This is what alarms the Americans
on the border, and these gentlemen
from San Antonio, say Gen. Ord has
gone to Chicago to lay the matter be-
fore Gen. Sheridan and obtain from
him definite instructions as to what
course he shall pursue.
1t is said Lerdo will make his first
move in about ten days. His attempt
to regain the Presidency is considered
q forlorn hope. His defeat is certain
and will revive the border trouble and
subject the Americans along the Rio
Grande to robbery and outrage, as Mex,
lean bandits will swarm across the
river and retaliate on the citizens.
