GALVESTON, July 29.-The News
special from San Antonio says Off
cial information from the border is
to the effect that the Mexican gov
eminent is organizing the inhabi-
tants, both Indian and Mexican, in
to companies to operate against the
Americans. The most notorious
characters on the border hold COM
missions from the Mexican govern
ment. Orioles, a notorious raider, is
in command of a company near
NeWtown on the Mexican side above
Piedras Negras. The KickapOo In
dians have been enrolled to defend
the town of SaragOssa against Mac
kenzie should he follow raiders
across the Rio Grande at that place.
There is almost cessation of friend
ly relations between the American
and Mexican officers. The Porve-
mir, a Mexican paper at Piedras
Negras, announces that Col Nuncio
has ample force to destroy the Grin
gOs. There has been no mOdifca-
ton of the orders given in regard to
following raiders in Mexico.
The News Brownsville special
says: sit is learned from a reliable
source that on the 9th, Jose Maria
Amador, Miguel PalaciOs, Pedro
Martinez and Estamalio Martinez,
revolutionary leaders, with 800 men,
attacked the town of Real de Cato
rez, Mexico, and were defeated.
Amador and PalaciOs were killed
and Estamalio Martinez wounded.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-A number
of breach-loading Springfield rifles
have been obtained and placed in
the market-h0use in East St. Louis
for use by Mayor Bowman's deputy
marshals and other citizens for the
defense of the property of the city
should an attempt be made to take
possession of it by the Metropolitan
police or the anti Bowmanites. The
arms are placed in the western
market-house, which has been
planked up and secured against at
tack, making the place look some
what like an arsenal. The Bow
NANTES say they will not bring on
further trouble, but will defend
themselves and the property of the
city in their pOss ession to the last ex-
tremity. Maj. Bowman says that
he will not vacate the City Hall I'M
less compelled by the militia. Dep
uty Marshal Boreau is still in the
city, carefully watching the move
ments of both parties, and is ready
to act at moments notice.

country needs far beyond all other
measures, and we see no indications
of that measure holding a promi-
nent place in the party's pro-
gramme. In the great speech of
Mr.. Voorhies opening the campaign
in Indiana it scarcely has a place,
and wherever the party speaks au-
thoritatively we have ten words
about the greenback for one about
the tariff. Party availability is ev-
identity at the bottom of this. To
make the tariff a prominent meas
ure, a campaign question, would be
to cut off all hopes of Democratic
vote in Pennsylvania and Connect
cut, and, dominated as our political
atmosphere is by party cOnsidera-
ton, what the party needs comes
far before what the country needs.
So the greenback and the Southern
question will probably furnish the
material of stump oratOry this fall.
Next week we will take up the
programme for State politics.

from Separation, where the total
eclipse lasted minutes 90 seconds.
Prof. Watson discovered an intra-
mercurial planet of the size of four
and one-half magnitude star, about
% degrees southwest of the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer says this eclipse was
totally different, the corona being
ten times brighter this time, from
the one IN 1871, showing great va
ration of the brightness of the cor
ona between the maximum and the
minimum period of sun spots. He
obtained faint photograph of the
continuous spectrum of the sun, and
saw no trace of lines orrings through
Mr.. Rutherford's grating. The
structure of the corona was well OBJ
served by him, but no trace of the
exterior ring was seen, and the
corona vanished instantly, while in
1871 it remained visible for several
minutes after the totality. Only
one faint proturbance was observed
by Lockyer. He is greatly surprised
at the difference of eclipses occur
ring in different sun-spot periods,
and at the intimate relation of the
brightness of the corona to the sum
spots.

The Khedive Of Egypt is the most
accomplished swindler in Europe.
He began by rapacious oppression
of his own subjects having drained
them dry he tried to recruit his re-
sources by borrowing money under
false pretenses having borrowed all
he could possibly extort from the
London money market, and found
tfis.t his credit was exhausted, he
now wants to repudiate, and John
Bull, Shylock as he is, won't let
him. Hi1lc iLLOe LGcT3iDaCg. Hence
the groan over British extortion.
After every possible device for pro-
tecting from his creditors all those
resources which he voluntarily
pledged as securities, he is invaded
by British Commissioners, who in
sist upon knowing why securities
are not available which were bona
Jfcle accepted as basis for the bonds
that they bought. In truth, His
Highness has shown much ingenu-
ity in complicating the affair so as
to make liquidation as difficult as
possible. Being ahsolGte monarch,
he has been al !e rs constitute any
particular property public or pri-
vate, at his pleasure, compelling
holders to sell to him at nominal
prices on long credit ; then he would
hypothecate sometimes public and
sometimes private property as secu-
rity for the bonds he issued, and was
as sharp as a Philadelphia lawyer
in mortgaging private property for
public debts, and rice UerSa, and
then throwing a cloud of dust in the
eyes of those who would look into
the title deeds of the mortgaged
lands. Then taxes are mortgaged,
and when the mortgage is fOreclosed
hecalls it unconstitutional to collect
such taxes, he who never recognized
Constitution or laws before. All
these intricate webs of chicanery
the English Commissioners are dis
entangling, and it really seems as il
in the end they are going to get
their money. Meantime, the Khe-
dive and his satraps squirm and
groan and shuttle and lie to no pur-
pose, and His Highness the Khe-
dive stands revealed in the sorry
figure of a repudiator who can't re-
pudiate.

DiSresPectfuI Treatment of tint
Press

DiSresPectfuI Treatment of tine
Press.
Those who profess to have a spec
tally intimate acquaintance with
the Sun have been giving it out for
some time that that luminary might
be observed under peculiarly inter-
esting circumstances last Monday
for nearly an hour before and after
five in the evening. The condition
of witnessing the interesting scene
lit had something to do with certain
delicate relations between the sun
and mOOn) was to enter his presence
provided with ticket constructed
of well smoked glass. Now, we
had a right to expect from the thing
being so generally pulled that his
majesty desired publicity on the
occasion we therefore provided
ourselves, at an immense outlay,
with a vast quantity of smoked
glass, and presented ourselves for an
interview some minutes before the
appointed time. Even from the
first we cannot say that the suns
conduct evinced a proper apprecia-
ton of the attentions of the press;
he would dodge behind a cloud one
moment and the next would blaze
out in a manner to almost blind us
in spite of the Intervention of burnt
glass, and played other fantastic
freaks unworthy of his own high
position, and peculiarly revolving to
the dignity of the press. We have
always, however, exercised our
duties as privileged reporter with
patience and self-Iestraint, and,
without remOnstrance, settled our
selves down to await the interesting
moment, when just about the time
when the lady moon ought by APP
pOintment to have appeared on the
scene, he, and she also if she were
there, disappeared behind a thick
curtain of cloud without so much as
parting recognition, secluded him
self from the view of everyone until
the disdainful pair were through
with the scene, and then reappeared
with an unblushing face and with
out a word Of apology. Yes ! we
know that John FaXOn processes to
have caught glimpse of the lady's
retreating petticOats-we mean
skirts, or train, or whatever it was
as the disdainful luminary appeared,
but then, John can always see what
is invisible to everybody else, and
anyhow, as he was writing to the
COurier-JOurnal, was bound to re-
port something; our readers may
believe thus, that nothing was visi-
BILE, and that is exactly what John
saw.
We have no further remarks; we
do not Obtrude the attentions of the
press where they are not appreci-
ated, but, if ever again the sun de-
sires publicity for his movements,
he need not expect any assistance
in that direction from the Clarks-
vile CHRONICLE.

The RadsIxina.

HELENA, MONT, July 29.-Lieut.

Indians who committed the recent
murders at the mouth of Bear and
Rock creeks, ON the North Fork of
Clear Water, Sunday, the 2lst, kill
ing six and wOunding three.
Among the killed was Hababor,
their chief. They also killed Cwen-
ty-three head of their stock ana cap
tured thirty-one. The Indians con-
sisted of seventeen bucks and two
squaws. Lieut.. Wallace's party
numbered thirteen soldiers ami two
citizens. There We're no casualties
on our side except the wounding of
few horses. The fight lasted two
hours.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The
United States Indian agent at Lem
hi, Idaho, writes to the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, announcing
the murder by two or more Indians
belonging to the Lembi tribe, of
Bannock John, an old Indian we'll
known in that section as a despera-
do. 1t appears that BannOck John
murdered white man few weeks
ago on Camas prairie, and the Indi-
ans feared the retaliation of the
whites. The news reached one of
the Indian camps that ten of their
number were murdered by the
whites in Round Valley while hunt
ing. After hearing of this slaugh-
ter, the blame was laid ON BannOck
John, and a few of the Indians
formed a conspiracy for his assassin
alton, which was successfully car
ried out.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-A
Portland dispatch says that news
has just been received from Malheur
City that two of Towards COM
mand about ten miles northwest of
Malheur agency. The soldiers are
entirely out of rati0ns. The scouts
crossed several fresh trails leading
direct to Malheur agency. 1t was
thought the hostiles were either GO
ing to the agency to surrender or
making for Stein mountain. Sew
eral hOstiles passed through near
Malheur, cleaning out four houses
and shooting at citizens.

verdict on STANLEY matthew's.

This is the opinion Of the New
York Post about it:
The political corOner's verdict in
the case of Stanley Matthews prob
ably will be ''Died of an excess of
versatility" The great mistake of
Mr.. Matthews when he came into
public life was in trying to do too
much. He seems to have borne
about with him the conviction that
it was his duty to take charge of
everybody and everything. 1t APP
pears that he took charge of Mr..
Burke and his business as plenipO-
tertiary and envoy extraordinary
of the Nichols government. After
ward he took charge of Anderson
and his pretended secrets. There
was altogether too much versatility.

would say, his "untimely Demise"

Extract from VIM. ]. Sykes Speech at
Knoxville.
To the young men of East Ten
nessee, and may say of the whole
State, make an earnest appeal to
come to the rescue of your noble
State in this her hour of trial and of
danger. You are the hope and the
pride of the country. You must
share the deep modification and Bit
ter pangs of ruined reputation and
blasted character when those of us
in middle life, or beyond it, are
gone. This is a question fraught
with most mOmentOus consequences
to you. From destruction of their
credit, and a loss of their character,
States never recover, and /, there
fore, make a most earnest appeal to
you to arouse yourselves before it is
too late. The loss of property or of
money does not make a man poor /;
energy, industry and economy may
repair this loss, but when a man
loses his pride Of character and his
regard for his good name, he is poor
indeed. "a good name," says the
wise man writing by inspiration,
sis rather to be chosen than great
riches, and loving favor rather than
silver and gold" When the people
of a State cease to value the charac-
ter and reputation of their State,
when they denOUnce those who adj
vOcate it, impugn their motives and
vilify their characters, that State is
in truly lamentahle condition.
Let me say to you, my young
friends, that there l. IL courage high
or than mere physical courage,
courage loftier and more to be adj
mired than that which carries a
man to the field of battle amid the
beating of drums, the sound Of cam
non and the bursting of shells, "the
pOmp and circumstance of glorious
war" and that is the courage which
enables man to do his duty; to
uphold what is just and right re-
gardless Of popular clamOr and des-
pite the Sneers of the unthinking or
the denunciatiOns of the depraved,
Here l take pleasure in repeating
the sentiments recently expressed
by one Of Tennesaee's ablest and
purest living statesmen and jurists,
a man whose name Is the synonym
of truth, honor and intellect. al
Iude to the Hon. Edwin II. Ewing,
who said: "Now is the time for a
truly brave man, man of foresight,
to make character. If this world
be worth living in and for, truth and
honor cannot be kept down long,
The sacrifice of to-day will but pre- |
pare one for the glorious resurrection |
of another and brighter period. |
Would that our aspiring young men
could thus look at the matter.1'
I cannot close in a more appropri- |
ate manner than by quoting the fam
guage of Cardinal Wolsey, which
all young men should treasure in
their hearts and make it the rule of
their conduct:
BE just and fear not
Let all the ends thou aimst at be thy
country's,
Thy Gods and truths; then If thou fallest,
o! Cromwell
Thou fallest blessed martyr" y
