TROUBLE AHEAD.
THREATENING CONDITION Of OUR
RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
Rival Railroad Companies Raising a Rum.
pus which May Not End in Talk
Schaefer Keeps the Lead in
the Billiard Match.
THE NIHlLlSTS WILL HANG TO-DAY.
TROUBLE WITH MEXICO.

Our Railroad Corporations Will Probably
Get this Country Into Trouble.
WAsHrSGroS, April l4.-On the banks
OF the Rio Graude, in Southwestern
Texas, is the town of Franklin. On the
opposite side OF the river, in Old Mexico
is the town of FL Paso. The Southern
California railroad is now within six
miles OF the town of Franklin, and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
has formed junction with this road
some fifty miles west OF this point, and
has also graded its line down the Rio
Grande to Franklin. For the first time
in the history Of the twin republics our
railroad system touches the border Of
Mexico This conjunction has raised a
war-cloud much larger than mans
head. FL Paso is in the State Of
chihuahua, and the Mexican Gov
ernment has granted the right, or made
the concession. to the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road to cross into Mexico
at Ell Paso, and continue the line to the
City OF chihuahua, and thence to the
City OF Mexico.
Right here trouble begins, for the
government OF Mexico had heretofore
granted the right to the State of Chi
huahua to build line OF railroad from
FL Paso to chihuahua, over the same
route. The State OF Chihuahua will pre-
vent, by force, the Atchson and Santa
Fe people from building this road; and
the Governor Of Chihuahua, az has
already been indicated by the Associated
Press dispatches, has ordered five hun
dred State troops to FL Paso, osten-
sibly to keep the peace between
the railroad hands and the Mexican
population OF Fl Paso. This vel is alto
gether too thin. The town of FL Paso
contains at least six thousand inhabi.
tants, is very well policed, being Dor.
der town with custom house. There
is mounted force abundantly sufficient
10 keep order. Besides she has, for a
Mexican to wn, exceptionally good guard
houses, and a firm local government.
The troops ordered there, it is thought,
mean business.
The keen-eyed Blaine has seen all this,
and Brigadier General John Pope, COM
manding the Department OF the Nilsson.
ri, has been invited to Washington for
consultation. He arrived here day be-
fore yesterday, and went at once
to the White House, and has since
several times been closely closeted with
the President. Blows are impending,
and it would not surprise any one here
to learn that General Grant has swiftly
ieft forrne Nurtfrfny rsifroad com.
pany will not negotiats or abate a jot OF
their rights, as, in the event OF a war,
these western lines will be over-crowd-
ed with business. Give the boys half a
chance, and the States OF Chihauhau and
Sonora, and the desirable parts on the
Gulf of California, will speedily become
part OF our Union. While war is
always to be deprecated, the unsettled
and semi. barbarous condition OF North.
ern Mexico invites interference, and
would justify even war il 1t led to per.
manent peace.

stood in favor OF free ballot and fair
count. He criticised the Republican
party for their
Injustice Towards the Colored Race.
II all the negroes were, as was claimed
Republicans, they constituted one-fourth
OF the Republican party. What had that
party done for them? The last admin
istration had given Frederick Douglass
the position of Marshal Of the Dis.
trict OF Columbia, but he had not
been invited to do all the hon.
ors at the White House, which bad
usually been performed by the marshal.
There were seven Cabinet ministers, and
yet not one OF them represented the
race which composed one-fourth OF the
Republican party. The Republicans
need not be astonished il, when the
Democrats met in grand council again,
they should do right to the negro as the
Republicans had failed to do 30.
In Speaking OF the Virginia Question,
Mr.. Brown said that the Democrats pro-
per, the intelligent class OF people OF
that State, had stood manfully there for
maintaining the credit OF the old State,
but they would understand the Republic
can party as rendering this issue to
them, that it was intended to take hold
of the Readjuster element and put the
negroes and Readjusters in power.
They might find it necessary then to
drop their internal strife and tumble
over twelve million dollars OF the State
debt, and il necessary to the reunion OF
society they might tumble over twelve
million dollars more OF it, or let the
whole 20, rather than have ruin brought
upon the State by putting it under the
control OF people, majority OF whom
would not be allowed to vote in Massa-
chusetts. The war had ceased; the
bloody shirt had been buried by the Re.
publican party when that party had
taken Senator from Virginia
A Confederate Brigadier
for its leader, and with that act be.
fore the people, they would not enter
into another crusade TO establish Re-
publican power in the South. The
South intended 10 become the equal OF
the North in wealth and intelligence;
then it would be respected.
Mr.. Hoar replied to the remarks
OF Mr.. Brown, and good
humored discussion took place between
them, which was kept up till Brown,
misunderstanding statement made by
Hoar and misqnoting, was excitedly in
terrogated by Hoar as to whether he
implied that he Hoarl had said what
was not true. Mr.. Brown denied any
intention OF mistating the Senator's re-
marks, and good humor was restored by
Beck's simulated fear that the Senate
would lose both the Senators from
Georgia.
Mr.. Hawley also replied to some re-
marks of Brown.
After some opposition from tie Demo.
cratic side the Senate adjourned until
Monday.

AN OFFICE REFUSED BY DAlZell'
SUMMER SUITS IN DEMAND.

conlling and Others Have Gone for
Theirs-An all Summer session Antici-
pated
WAsHINGros, April 1.-THE Senate
having adjourned until Monday, 1t ID
contemplated that the Republican eau
Gus will not meet before next week,
probably on Monday, as Conkling and
several other Republican Senators go to-
night to New York. 1t is understood
that Senator Conkling is not averse to
an executive session for the conhrma-
ton OF such nominations as are not OBJ
iected to. 1t has been given out, and
repeated over and over again, that he
keeps the deadlock fastened because he
is afraid that the Robertson case might
come up il an executive session
sas held. This oft-repeated statement
has had the effect Of putting on his
shoulders a greater share OF RESPONSE
bility for the dead lock than on any
other Senator. 1t is claimed for him
that he has no fear OF an executive ses-
sion because certainly majo rity, and
probably all, of the Commerce Com
inittee sustain him in his opposition to
Robertson. At least two Democratic
members OF that committee are with
him in agreeing to hold back RObertson's
nomination lill the next session. The
only way by which the nomination can
be taken from the committee before the
latter is ready to report is by majority
vote OF the Senate, and no matter how
the Republican Senators may feel, they
would not carry discord in their ranks
at this time, when harmony
is so necessary, by voting to
take up the Robertson nomination in
SPITE of the Commerce Committee,
hence the probable action OF the caucus,
when il is held, will be to agree on the
list of unobjectionable nominations, in
Guiding the most important ones, and to
have one executive session for the con.
firmation Of these. Should the Senate
session last through the summer, the
Democrats will consider they have got
the advantage of Malone in the opening
and conducting OF the campaign in Nir'
ginia, because no Democrat will pair
with Malone. In Democratic circles it
is held that his vote cannot be spared,
and that therefore he cannot enter the
Virginia campaign in person unless he
breaks the Republican majority. All
the evidence goes to show that even ii
an executive session be provided for
the fight will continue, as the Republic
cans intend to hold their control OF the
business.

THE ROUTED RADICALS.
They VIII 60 in With the Democracy to
Attend to the Business for which the
President Called Them Together,


WASHINGTON, April l4'-The Senate
intends to adjourn this evening until
Monday. The Republican caucus will
probably be held on Monday, and will
consider and discuss the present s!tua-
ton in all its bearings and Influence.
The Republican Senators generally say
that the calling Of the caucus does not
foreshadow any retreat on their part.
The Republicans are entirely united and
harmonious, They recognize the policy
OF confirming some Of the most import
ant pending nominations, such as Rob.
ertson, Price, Pardee, Hill and
others, which have not vet
vet been referred. First, the executive
session would in the natural order OF
business, refer all nominations to the
committees, as the committees are con-
trolled by Republicans they could re-
port back only such nominations as
they desire confirmed, and hold back all
others. The only nomination the DEM
ocrats will fight against is Chambers,
and they will vote TO confirm all Others.
Through the committees the Republi-
cans can control the executive business,
and thus maintain their position by
stopping the executive session whenever
they decide to renew the present fight
By confirming the principle nomina-
tions, all the embarrassment Of the
President will be relieved, and the Re-
publcans could resume the fight now
on hand in a better shape. This is the
position of the Republicans as outlined
by some OF the most prominent Sena-
tors of that party.
