Following is a Paris cable dispatch
 to the Chicago Tribune:
 At the American section a squad of sailors from the United States yes sels at Havre were drawn up on the left of the entrance, commanded by Ensign Young of the Constitution. On the right of the facade were thirty marines under Lieuts. Russell and Zib- lin. Gov. Mccormick, Chief Commls- sioner of the United States, attended by the AssistantC Commissioners and attaches, stood in front of the entrance. President McMahon was attracted by the bearing of the American sailors, and inquired concerning the service and vessels to which they belonged, and expressed qualification at their ap- pearance. Berger, director of the For eign Sections, presented Gov. McCOr- mick to President McMahon, who stood several minutes in conversation with him, longer in fact than at any other section. The marines and em- 1loyes cheered heartily as the process sion moved on. A numerous company )f American ladies witnessed the pro- ;esSion from the American facade. and oined in the cOurtesies to the Presi- lent.

The Florida InvestigatIon.

Members of the Joint Democratic
 Caucus Committee. together with
 Democratic members of the Housa Judiciary Committee and other promi- nent Democratic Representatives, in. cluding Springer, Finlay and Williams of Michigan, who have had immediate
 charge of the alleged Florida Presi- dental frauds, after consultation with Speaker Randall today, reached the conclusion that the investigation of the matters connected With this subject Is not question of privilege. and that therefore nothing can be done except in the regular order of business. Con sequently it was determined that the for an invetigation should come from the Judiciary Committee when t shall again be called for reports for action by the House. The Com mittee will then ask for authority to investigate all the facts in relation to the last election of members of Con- gress and of Presidential Electors in Florida, with view of ascertaining the statements of McLin and others are true The investigation is 10 be confined to these points only. without reference to the question of he Presidential title.

 Mr Booth presented the petition of r. J.

 The Texas Pacific.
 NEW YORK, May 10.-The Tri3une's Washington speclal says: It is report ed that one of the promoters of the Texas Pacific Company said that fran chises for the road, direct from New Orleans to the City of Mexico, would be much more valuable than a road from New Orleans to California, on he line of the Southern Pacific. It is therefore supposed by some to be quite possible that, without abandoning the project of getting to the Pacific Ocean, he Texas-Pacific people may have ixed their eye upon Mexico as the southern terminus of their line.

Unworthy Misrepresentation.

The more zealous of the Texas Pa
 cific railway advocates labor about as
 hard to conceal the large aid they ask
 of Congress as they do to misrepresent the purposes and propositions of the
 Southern Pacific company. The Lou
 isville Courier Journal is distinguish
 ing itself in this particular This pa per has lately taken special pains 10
 misstate the arguments and demands of other leading journals that are will
 ing to tell the whole truth and insist
 that government shall not take upon
 itself further liabilities in behalf of any railway company. The Chicago
 Tribune for years has demanded that
 no further public liability be created
 to bolster up weak or strong compan-
 ies. To series of charges to the con-
 trary by the Kentucky paper, the Chi
 cago Tribune replies at length, aud
 closes with this language which is con-
 sistent with its course for years on the subject generally as well as to the two
 named companies in particular:
 The Huntington Company come forward and propose 10 build the
 Southern Pacific Road, at the rate of so many miles the first and each suO-
 sequent year until it is completed,
 without requiring from the govern ment a dollar of money, bonds, or guarantee of interest on bonds. They offer to take the right of way and Tom ScotI's land grant and build the road. ! The Scott Company having broken down, and being unable to go on with
 the work on the terms of their charter, t the Huntington Company, who have abundance of cash capital, propose to step into their vacant shoes and speed
 fly complete it if Congress will permit
 them. We have seen it stated that |! they are even willing 10 build the road
 without receiving the land grant, but this may be an erroneous report. But
 there is no question as to their propo- sition to take up the work at the point where the Scott Company broke down ; and immediately proceed with the line until it is finished, al the earliest prac- i ticable day. Why should forty mil lions of interest guaranteed bonds be given to the Philadelphia Scott Com pany, when the California Huntington Company stands ready to construct the i road without dollar of pecuniary aid : from the government? And why does l; the Cour--Jour. suppress and misrepre- r sent the actual facts of the case? "

Imporlant Mnrer peetslon.

At the term of the Supreme Court oi California, which closed on the 2d
 instant, an opinion was rendered which
 is of general importance, and to the
 gist of it we call the attention of our
 Arizona readers. IL was brought out
 in a suit between the city of San Fran
 cisco and the Spring Valley Water
 Company. The company claimed the right to sell water; the court decides that the company has no property in water and therefore cannot and does not sell water, but does and can only charge for conveying the water to con- sumers. Water is not manufactured like gas. Water cannot be monopo. lized. It has always beer, we believe. a well established law principle, that a man or company of men cannot con trol more water of lakes or running streams by means of canals or ditches through their own premises than they put to legitimate use; that is, they can not, no matter how much they claimed even in advance of all other claimants. have any more water running through their ditches or over their premises than their necessities require. The water of streams and lakes is public. The first claimant may appropriate enough for his own Use, or whatever quantity certain others actually need and pay him for conducting to them, no more. No man or company can control water for wastage when others need it.

Our Southern Border.

WAsHINGToN, May 7.-General Me Dowell has been instructed 10 institute vigllant watchfu. ness along the south. ern border of Arizona and southern California to prevent a violation of the neutrality laws by the Lerdos Revolu. tionists, and to arrest all parties sus- pected of cOngregating on the border for that purpose.
 There may or may not be danger on our southern border. The recognition of DiaZ may possibly incite his op- Tonents to attempts at revolution. Per haps our government is wIse in the steps taken It is to be hoped, if tine national boundary line is used by the malcontenis, that the orders to General Mcdowell may be vigorously enforced.
