CowHIDING DIToRs.-This danger
Gus business seems to be coming into
fashion in the Northern States. Within a
year no less than eight or ten editors in
the Northern States have been beaten
with whips, cowbides or siung-shot.-
Among those that have suffered, are the
names of James Gordon Bennett and
Alexander K. Mcclure, and now the
name of Mr.. G. W. NJ. Geist, editor of
the Era, at Lancaster, Pa, is added to
the list. Mr.. Geist's paper contained a
report of some disreputable conduct in
the presence of ladies at the Lancaster
depot at midnight, and spoke very plainly
of the matter, but mentioned no names.
The next day he was assaulted with a
cowhide by Mr.. Geo. G. Haldeman.After
he got through with the operation an ac-
complice named James G. Yunge stepped
up, drew another oowhide and commenc-
ed to whip Mr.. Geist, by this time the
crowd which had been collected, iDter-
fered and put stop to the interesting
operation.
"Shortly after this, it is stated that Mr..
Richard A. Malone, in company with
Robert Reed, called at the office of the
Inteltigencer and asked Mr.. Clark, the
clerk, whether either of the editors were
in; being answered in the negative he
asked whether he (Mr. Clark was re-
sponsible for anything that appeared in
the paper and was also answered in the
negative. Malone then said. you are
the cub that gave the information that
was here the other night. Tell your
editors to be prepared when come again
This is matter of life and DEATH which
words lie repeated with emphatic pro-
family"
1t is presumed from this that the edi.
tor of the Lancaster Intelligencer only
escaped cowhiding by being absent
from his Office when the dreadful Malone
called.
1t is pretty near time that this busines:
was put stop to. But we do not think il
viii be until somebody is badly hurt rt;and
no doubt this will be the result. Editors
are not all as gentle in their demeanol
as Bennett, Mcclure and Geist, and ther,
is great likelyhood that some one of tn,
fraternity will be forced to commit muir
der before this fashionable mania j
brought TO a close. In the first plac
however, editors must be careful not t,
be caught doing wrong, Or being actuate,
by malice or bad motives.

Leading Louisiana Political Topics.
AMBITIOUS ELECTORS THE SCHOOL,
FUND EMBEZzLER-wHAT Is SAID
ABOUT THE RETURNING BOARD
PROSECUTION, &c.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Two of the
Hayes electors from Louisiana have been
trying very hard to get out of the coun-
try through the medium of diplomatic or
consular positions. They have iptimated
that they think the President is rather
slow in recognizing their claims. There
may be no significance in this desire of
these gentlemen to go "beyond the seas"
Dut there Is lurking suspicion that 9TH
e's OF the nen v no were Instrumental in
defeating the will Of the people of Louis.
lana last fall may ere long be wanted in
I new orleans. Burch, the colored HAYES
elector, arrested on the charge of embez-
zling the school funds, was also very i'm
Fortunate for federal office short time
since. The evidence against HIM, it is
asserted, is SO overwhelming that he will
certainly serve the State behind the walls
OF the penitentiary. There is imminent
probability that Wells and Anderson will
have the opportunity to repent of their
crimes in his company. There has been
considerable telegraphing Oh this subject
oetween New Orleans and this citv In
DAY. The only sure salvation for Wells
ana Anderson is for them to Jump their
oaii' and get the President to give them
some position abroad as their friends and
sesocldtes, the electors, are trying to do.
Soine Son Vi 'he strongest radical republicans
mere are rejoicing over the institution of
proceeulhgs. AS the President has dis
afpp4ln'eu fl,pd thelr expectations they have no
aul.ner use Tor him, and it would be a
sratlncatlon to them to see him brouoht
to grief. Oioush'
.o;d Inc President is undoubtedly con-
S sclous OF this, and it does not serve to
lessen his embarrassment. In regerd d to to
the statement that if Wells and Ander
son are convicted Gov. Nichols could in
order to carry out his share of the aIisa "
ed compact pardon them, Louisiana co1
servatiyes now here say that Govern,
Nichols would not dare to do such iI'a a
| thing. w 'uoli

Congressman Knott, of Kentucky, has
been interviewed on the Speakership.-
The delegates from his State will 20 for
Blackburn if that gentleman is a candi-
date. After that Mr.. Knott SAYS he had
no idea. He thought very highly of Ran
dali, and did not think any the less OF
him because of his course during the
continuance of tie electoral count. He
believed that Randall acted then copsci-
entiously upon course he thought to be
right. Certainly Randall desired to see
TIlden succeed as much as any man,
and for him to act in the face of his own
convictions and against his popularity
merely proved to him that Randall truly
believed that he was in the right. This
belief had raised him above party. A
vote taken at the close of filibusterinp
times would have shown considerable op.
position to Randall that did not exist
now.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 30

The spirit of the order to General Ord
to cross the Rio GIahde has been misun-
derstood by the press, which has made
bitter attacks on the American govern
ment. The Official Journal charges the
United States government with the viola
tion Of treaties and International law, al
leging that the Rio Grande movement is
pretext for territorial aggrandlzement
or for forcing Ledro on the Mexican peo-
pie. These attacks have called forth a
memorandum from Minister Foster.
which is addressed to the government
and the foreign representatives.
Telegraphic dispatches announce a
meeting betw cen Generals Ord and Ire
vino at Predras Negras, at which AMIGA
BILE and satisfactory arrangements were
made for the suppression of raids. The
Mexican Government insists on a modi.
tication of the orders to General Ord and
fears are entertained that a modification
will not be conceded. There is consid.
erable excitement over this affair in the
capital. Senior Rafal Benavides has
been commissioned by the Mexican Gov.
ernment to make a special and minute
study of the situation on the border and
report measures deemed expedient fol
putting stop to raids and disorders.
