NIGHT
Mackny to Give One Million Dollars
for the denomination of General
Grant.
New YORK, Aug. 8.
A Washington special, on the possible
denomination of Grant by the Republicans,
says: The scheme requires delicate political
engineering. Money alone can furnish the
driving power, and that money, knowing
ones aver, is to be forthcoming. They
point with pride to Mackay's Oriental re-
ception of Grant in Paris. They say the
silver and railroad kings Of Nevada and
California are alarmed. They fancy that
the labor r%eforIners will despoil them OF
their wealth. Macaay makes no secret of
his fears, and Stanford, Croker. Hayward,
Jones, Sharon and others are prepared to
follow his footsteps. With Grant in the
chair at the White House, they think their
accumulations would be secure; that no
constitutional barriers would stand i'll bis
way WHEN his friends were in danger. He
has frequently used the army without au-
thority, and would do so again. In a o n
versation in Virginia City, last spring,
Mackay is reported to have said: Il will
give ST 900, 900 to secure Grant the Re-
publican nomination and another million
TO compass his election, and once in the
White House, 1 will give a million to keep
him there for life He added that this
might seem strange talk, but he would put
up the money, believing it to be a good in
vestment, and that a man ought to insure
his house against fire. Grant is the insur-
ance for the Pacific railroad
robbers, land-grabbers and manipulators
of mineral lands, and they are prepared to
take large blocks of stock in him.
Pacific Relations Between the
United States AMI Mexico.
CHICAGO, Auguat s.
The Journals Washington special says:
Assistant Secretary of State Seward, said
to-day, in reply to an inquiry, that the re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico are of the most pacific character,
and thst no apprebensions are entertained
Of iron BILE between the two Governments.
The Mexican authorities are doing all they
can to suppress disorders along the Rio
Grande border, created by a class OF des-
peradoes who profit by violations OF the
law. 1t is not believed here in diplomatic
in Mexico, that the President will
infict severe punishment upon General
Escobedo, who was not captured, but sur
rendered himself voluntarily, to save other
persons who were in danger.
