The exlcan Plot Revived
 Hayes has evidently struck hands ugain #ith she Texas annezstioaists for tbe rsvigal Of his iaTigue aga'nat Mexico. in tho hopeof ayer1lng, by 2 foreign war, he own doom.
 The joint resolution just ntr0duc- sd into the House by Congressman schleicher declares thaE Hayes may Dof and keep on the Rio Granae "a nilltsrx force of nos less than fire ,hoasand men:n that his outrageous order of last June auEhorzlHg the armed invasion of Mexico, shoulq nor be withdrawn oF mouihed: that Mexico must be called upon fer 4 J indemnity te persons and praperiy, lsA the abos Son of the LoNA lsEBRE,
 the surrender of Mexican citizens for summary punishment n Iexas, and the special exemptl0n ot Americans fram forced loalls.
 Here we find renewed the pro- gramne by which Hayes last year brought the two republics te the verge 0f var, and degraded the national honor, until Congress iatervened through resolutions of inquiry, to check the intrigue. To aid ths scheme. the late raids in Texas have been grossly exaggerated, and have been falseIy charged 70 Mexlcans shough made by Indians from our ewa Fort Sill and FsEt Stanton re- servafions, and by redskins of the same race from the other side Of the Rio Grande. San Antonio, Ord's bsadouarters. calls fhe raiders Mex jeans and lndians Fort Duncan finds
 wo AIeucans among the Indians: Corpus Christi reports Indian and AIexlcan raiders" while Fort Clark eonfessing that four horses were slol- en at niggk few hundred yards from that yigiiant post, says: 'I'hs thieves ere seen to cross the Rio 6rande, and were recognized as Mexicans . recognition by night wonderful iH iB way. sincs, though So near, al the uoops ak Fort Clark could n00 catch sheae distinctly Mexican thieves
 
 Such talk ls worthy td the allies ol Hayes. vho, in bis December mes. sage to Congress, falsely ascrIbeC zbe raids to Mexicans, and made ns msneioa Rhatexer of Indians. Thus simultaneously st Washington ans along the Rio Grande the Intrigue l. revived.
 That Mexico Hill submit to the in aFeas d insulting programme pro. posed by Congressman Schleicher aYes neither expects nor desires She viii not consent that her sol ehaIi be iagaded at the Wlsh or whin of foreign eaYalrymen; that her peo- pie shall pay fer raids committed bl United States reservation Indians anI by Texss robber gangs painted llk. Indians. as well as by Indian outlaw sbat infest her eEn soil, nor will sh' give ID her citizens for summary tria ia Texas, except nnder that mutual treaty of exsFaaition which Hayes re. fuses to accord. The Hayes pro qramme is, therefore, simply a va programme
