The correspondent Of the Galveston
News, at this place, In his exuberance
over collecting "news" about the train
robbers, telegraphs the following,
which, upon investigating, does not
seem TO be warranted by the facts:
Train robber hunting continues with
undated zeal, but without result thus
far. Detectives have nothing tangible
by which to govern them In arrests.
Hence their efforts are concentrated on
Sam Bass and friends. Nevertheless
Bass Is not believed to have been In
more than the first one, II In that, but
he has been known to have $S2 600 In
gold, which he wanted to exchange,
and detectives plotted to capture with
counterfeit currency. Their stool
pigeon was to exchange $64, 900 couns
terfeit currency, sprinkled with genu-
inc greenbacks,lfor the gold but, after
the queer arrived, doubt AS to whether
the tool could be trusted, and the fact
60 to Bass, backed out.
This sweeping charge against the
detectives who have been here since
the affair occurred, is unjust, and the
correspondent ought to have treated
them better.

NEW YORK, April 23..-At meeting
ofthe board of directors of the Western
Union telegraph company, this after
noon, a preamble and resolution was
adopted setting forth that by the death
of Mr.. Orion, for twelve years presi>
dent of the company, they had lost a
friend endeared to them by long and
agreeable association, and whom they
had learned to esteem, no less for his
high moral worth and sterling charac-
ter than for his great and recognized
ability, and that while deeply lament
ing the case of 80 able and distin-
guished an officer, so suddenly re-
moved by death, they sorrow still more
for the parting from SO true and cher
isbed an associate.
DIR. Green, vice.president, was elected
president of the company In place Of
Mr.. Orion, to hold office during tbs
pleasure Of the board.

HAVANA, April 23.--The French
mail steamer arrived with dates from
the City Of Mexico.
Minister Foster officially announced
the recognition OF the Diaz govern
ment on the 9th instant. President
Diaz received Mr.. Foster officially on
the 10th, with much cordially.
The I.erdo journals denOunce the
Mexico government for having, as
they charge, accepted recognition with
insulting language from Secretary
Evarts. The church newspaper, La
Bander Naoional, Is more bitter against
the United States than ever, and does
not want peace on any terms. That
section of the government press which
supports Minister Vallarte claims the
recognition OF President Diaz by the
United States as great diplomatic
triumph Of Senior Vallarte over Mr..
Evarts.
La Liberado says Mexico has OBJ.
tanned recognition by the tact and
shrewdness Of Vallarte, without yield
ing any point to American preten-
sions. She has given no promise to
change the Zion Libra, no provisions
for American troops to cross into Mex
leo, and no pledge regarding forced
loans or other protection of American
citizens. The official journal treats the
subject with dignity, and does full JUS
tice to the United States.
Several newcomers in Mexico have
interviewed to prevent the removal O
United. States Consul Shelton. The
old residents refuse to take part in the
movement, not wishing to be respOn
sible for Mr.. Skeletons retention In
office. Minister Foster also declines tt
act with the newcomers.
Jefferson Davis, before leaving thil
city, was complimented with a CRANE
military review at San Lazaro. Abou
five thousand troops of all arms wer
in line. Mr.. Davis was mounted ant
in full uniform.

George Flo. and George Henry Lews..


Since tho death of George Henry Loves,
many OF the newspapers have been clumsily
discussing his relation to George Eliot. whose
genius and literary nbors have entirely over
Swallowed his fame and his works deserving rs
they are. Tho press generally speaks Of her M
his wife. which she WIS spiritually. though moi
legally, owing to circumstances that could not
be controlled.
The wife Of the author eloped from him many
years ago; but, having repented OF her folly
and wishing 10 return TO him. he very gener-
ously restored her to his hoaTt and home. She
proved to be incurably inconstant She left him
a second time. and he soon after met George
Eliot between whom and himself sprang up n
strong friendship. based upon perfect mental
sympathy and community of taste They would
have married. but they could not do SO. mas
much as. having once condonod his wife's
offence. the laws Of Great Britain were not capa-
bio Of granting him a divorce. He could not
marry again until his ate wlfes depth, and she.
unfortunately. showed every symptom OF lon
geyty. Such conditions naturally produced q
dilemma. After long deliberaton and consulta-
ton with common friends, among them some OF
the best minds OF Europe they decided TO dwell
under the same roof. disregarding conventions
atty for the sake OF mutual assistance and
mental growth, II course in which their friends.
u TX said, fully sustained them.
George Eliot has been called and known for
years as Mrs. Lewes, and will so continue TO bd
called and known. albeit the former wife still
lives and bids fair 10 survive the gifted novel;
list, who il nearly 60. and has long been in very
delicate health.
