what Naranjo Proposes.

The successful campaign Of the Mexican
forces under Gen. IREV $50 and Gen. MARIAN
10 against the Lipan Indians has resulted
in capturing many cnttlc, stolen from
M-xi"an and American ranches; and the
latter officer has invited Texan border men
TO identify and recover such Of the plumber
,as may belong TO them.
The first thing suggested by these tidngs
is the practical comment they offer upon the
testimony givcnby Gen ORD and other OIL
GERS to the Committee Of Foreign Affairs,
less than year ago Tho report of the tcs-
tlmony taken Dee. Is, 1877, reads as follows.
Mr. scmricms--You are perfectly clear in our mind
that the safety the Ionuer depends the presence "
car own troops
Gen oRp-En,rely These MeNicans only respect force
Mr. sonttIcHKR-And even II there Mexican
troops on tie other side ana not" ON our side You do not
think that ta Mexican troops would do any Thing to stop
raldiug, Is not that your opniouf
Gen oRp-Yes or, its Ian, very sorry to .Ay
The Mexican troops have not Tar. done an, ding in
that WAY, and cannot Xpect any tng better Of them
IN the future
1t was on the strength Of such testimony
that Mr., SCHLEIcHER asked Congress to APP
prove HAYES'S notorious order directing the
armed invasion Of Mexican territory. 1t is
now seen that as soon as these outrageous
violations Of Mexican soil We're temporarily
suspended the Mexican regular forces
marched against the border bandltti, ac-
complishlng more in few days than HAYES
lawless raids had effected in year.
But it must not be imagined that HAYES
and his annexation crew will be appcased
by what TREvINO has done, and what Ma
RANJo proposes. They are by no means
overjoyed at Mexican successes against the
cattle thieves Relief Of the Texan ranches
docs not at all I'LL out the programme Of the
war plottcrs. The Major Of infantry who
has applied for the colonelcy Of the first
regiment Of Ohio volunteers to be raised for
Il war with Mexico will hardly admit that
any such zeal Of TREvISo and NARANJo
should cheat him OF his promotion. The
gangs OF spectators in Mexican claims, Of
railroad consplratOrs, and Of contractors
for army supplies, who have counted ON a
coming war, will not so easily be put OF.
Nor will that Ring of miscellaneous adven-
| turcrs who have relied ON HAYES to push
! the boundary of Mexico back from the Rio
Grando to the Sierra Aladre, and to seize
the northern States Of Chihuahua, Sonora,
Durango and Zacatccas.
No matter what energy and good will
Mexico may show she does not obtain the
revocation of the order for armed invasion
which constantly exposes the two republics
to tho pcril5 Of war Only when some raid
OF MACKENZIE SKATER, or BULLS results
in blood-hed. and under "A Sudden gust Of
passion both countries Fame into war will
the end Of That order be fulfilled, No sooner
had the HAYES Administration begun it,
career than II Lent Itself to plots against
Mexico. The formal order Of outrage, &c
be sure, bears date June /, 1877; but already
on March 81, Mr.. W NJ. EvARTs had written
to Mr., FOSTER that las the authorities oI
Mexico seem To he unable or unwilling t.
check these doprcdations," HAYES might
soon consider the expedleney Of following
