GENERAL GRANT regards Mexico
as a country of wonderful resources,
needing only skill and capital for its
development. He judges that Ameri-
cans are entering many lines of
business in Mexico, as he could see
a great advance since his visit of a
year ago. There are large ship
ments of machinery for performing
the operations on the plantations,
and of other agricultural implements
there have been liberal shipments
from this country. The political
condition of the country General
Grant regards as one of stability.
The people, he says, were never be-
fore in such prosperous condition,
and prosperity is apt to give sta
bility. .

AS a sample Ofthe mineral wealth
of Mexico, the Boston Herald cites
the Pachuca mines of that country.
These have been worked in the
most primitive manner, and yet
have turned out over $100,O0O,0OO in
silver in the past thirty years. With
alittle American enterprise and cap
ital TO back her, Mexico will find no
difficulty in paying those railroad
subsidies she has undertaken, which
some of the English papers, jealous
of American prestige in Mexico, are
pretending to fear will financially

The Paso del Norte (Mexico) cor
respondent of the San Francisco

constructed to Ell PasO, and the track
is graded to the river to a point a

crossing. The wOrkmeR of the
bridge construc ton company are
camped between the river and Ell
Paso, and the pile-driyers are now
at work on the opposite bank of the
river from here-all ofwhich Is indi-
catiye of a speedy railroad construc-

it is confidently expected that the
bridge will be erected and eonstruc-

the course of two or three weeks
from now. In my opinion this will
be the most significant and impor-
tant event in railroad movements
that has occurred out here, and that
it will occur in about the time men,
toned L have not much doubt. Be-
sides these evidences of progress on
the American side of the river, on
this side surveys are completed,
property purchased, or damages as
sessed, and the route staked off
through the town. As much of this
town consists of a single street,
which runs parallel with the river,
and which the railroad will cross at
right angles, the amount of improved
property to be travelled will be linn
ited." -

GEN. MAHoNE appears as one OF
the critics of JEFF Davis book, deny
ing the truth of Mr.. Davis asser-
ton that Gen. Lee never ucontem-
plated surrender. Gen. Malone says
that he had an interview with Lee
in his tent at Appomatox immedi-
ately after the surrender, during
which Gen. Lee said that he had
urged Davis during the previous
winter to make terms with Grant,
telling him the situation was such
that surrender would be inevitable
in the spring. Davis refused. and
insisted upon fighting to, the last,
so that he is responsible for the
waste of life which followed. He
also says that Davis wished to
abandon Richmond and retreat in
the direction of Danyille, and thence
out of the state, but 1.-The feeling of
Gen. Lee and the leading Virginia
leaders was SO strong against such q
movement that Davis did not dare

Washington, July 2, 1881, Joseph

The President of the United
States was shot this morning by an
assassin named Charles Guitteau.
The weapon used was q large sized
revolver. The President had just
reached the Baltimore & Potomac
station, at about twenty minutes
past O'Clock, intending with a per-
tion of his cabinet to leave on the
limited express for New York. L
rode in the carriage with him from
the executive mansion and
was walking by his side
when he was shot. The assas-
sin was Immediately arrested and
the president was conveyed to a pri-
vate room in the station building and
surgical aid at once summoned.
He has now been removed to the
executive mansion. Surgeons in
consultation regard his wounds as
very serious, though not necessarily
fatal. His vigorous health gives
strong hopes of his recovery. He
has not lost consciousness for
a moment. Inform our ministers
in Europe. j. G. BLAINE,

tin with regard to the condition of
the President, from the executive
mansion, at 1915 PM: The reac-

WASHINGTON, July 2.-President
Garfield was shot this morning, at
the Baltimore q Potomac depot,
while on his way to New England.
He received one ball in the arm and
one between the hip and kidneys.
Five physicians are in attendance,
and have probed for the balls with
out success. He is dangerously
wounded, but may recover.
The shooting was done by slen-
der man, about five feet seven
inches in height. He refused to
give his name, but it is said by per-
sons who profess to know him, that
his name lis Guitteau, and that
he is an ex-consul to Mar
seilles. The man was arrested and
Immediately carried to police head
quarters and subsequently, removed
to jail. The shooting occurred in
the ladies' room of the depot imme-
diately after the president had en-
tered, walking arm in arm with
Secretary Blaine, on their way to
the limited express train, which was
about ready to leave. Secretary
Blaine, on hearing pistol shots,
two in number. rushed in
the direction from which they
came with the view of arresting the
assassin. Before reaching the man,
he noticed the president fall, and
returned to him ana helped him up.
Both shots took effect, the first in
the right arm, and the second
in the right side near the kidneys.
Physicians prObed for the ball un-
successfully. Two companies of
regulars were ordered from the
barracks, and have been post
ed around the executive man.
sion. Great excitement, and
and the streets are thronged with
anxious inquirers, eager to learn
the condition of the President. The
shooting occurred in the presence OF
fifty or sixty ladies. The President
has been made as comfortable as
possible, and all persons are exclud-
ed from the grounds. The Presi-
dent is conscious, and does
not complain of great suffering.
IL is impossible to say as yet what
the result will be, but surgeons are
of the opinion that his wounds arc
not necessarily fatal.
The following dispatch was sent
to Mrs. Garfield at Elbernon, Long
Branch, N. Y: The President wishes
me to say to you for him that he
has been seriously wounded, but
how seriously he can not yet say. He
says he is by himself, and hopes you
will come to him soon. He sends
his love to you.
[Signed] A. f. ROCKWELL.

dition has improved, and his pulse
which was as low as SO, has raised to

physicians will probe for the ball
and will then be able to tell the na.
ture of the wounds. The man who
did the shooting is Charles

In Massachusetts, the tax on
mortgaged property is done away
with-that is to say, deduction
is permitted to be made to the
amount of the mortgage. Only
about one-sixth of the mortgages in
the state paid taxes hitherto, but
this portion established the rate OF
interest for the remainder. Such a
law is equitable, and should be
adopted in Texas. Taxation should
be "equal and uniform" which is
folly as long as one piece of prop
erty is made the basis for double
taxation.

In its review of ex-President
Davis history of the rise and fall OF
the Confederate government, the
New York Herald says:
"This book is by odds the most i'm
portant contribution to the history
of the war from the southern side.
Mr.. Davis has resisted the impulse
to meet current assault or misrepre-
sentation with current replication.
and has reserved all his strength for
a final and deliberate effort that
should not only serve as an answer
to running assault, but stand as an
appeal to posierity. The book has
the advantage of coming from an
authoritative source and an intelli-
gent author before whom has been
passed in review the opinions of
nearly every prominent actor on
either side of the late struggle, and
to whom the stores of information
gathered in nearly twenty years of
peace have been opened. Beyond
question the book that is the result
of Mr.. Davis work win be accepted
as the standard of authority for the
southern side of the struggle, and
the very causes that combine to
make it supreme among the sympa-
thiZers with the rebellion will tend
moro or less to give it weight with
the world at large. 1t is, therefore,
worthy of the attention of intelli-
gent people everywhere"

STATISTICS show that there were
spent for drink in the United King
dom, for 1880, S611, 1896 800, which is
at the rate of $75 for the head of ev-
cry family. Still this expenditure was
$30,O0O,O00 more than for the year
previous. The London Times claims
that variations in the expenditure
for drink are due to fluctuations
in trade, the drink bills increasing
as prosperity increases, and decreas-
ing when there is not SO much to
spend. In 1860 the drink bill was
$434,4S8,415, when affairs were
not in the best condition,
but in 1876, when there was
great prosperity, it ran up to $780,
443, 800. The Times does not think
there is any growing disposition to
stop drinking, but ventures the as
sertion that, if the state of the
country is prosperous, by the
year 1900 the people of the United
Kingdom will swallow in one year
drink worth 81, ,2OO,O0O,OO0 The Irish
people complain bitterly of the de-
mands made upon them for $57, ,591, :
960, and yet for the last ten years
they have consumed on an av-
erage $69,115,51O annually in intoxi-
eating drink. Yet Ireland spends
considerably less in drink, in proper
ton to population, than either Eng
land or Scotland. The Times draws
startling deductions from this con-
dition of affairs. Ii finds that this
drink bill is vastly more than the
most inflated expenditure that has
been known for twenty years. 1t is
more than ten times as much as the
total amount spent in the relief of
the poor. Two months abstinence
from drink would pay the whole
cost of the Afghan war. Half a
weeks abstinence would supply
enough money to procure the sorely
needed parks for the metropolis. A
contemporary says: "MOre practical
and important calculations, If it
were possible to make them, would
be the ascertainment of the indirect
cost of drink to add to these figures
representing the direct outlay.
To this end it would be necessary to
compute about three-fourths of the
expenditures for pauperism, from
three-fourths to fOur-fifths of the
cost of maintaining the iails, pris-
ons and reformatories of the king
dom and about the same proper
ton of the cost OF the insane asy-
lums and the hospitals for the feeble
minded. These are about the quo
tas which intemperance furnishes to
crime, pauperism and insanity. Then
if any arithmetic were possible by
which the worth of ruined homes
and wasted lives could be computed,
the real dimensions which the curse
of drink assumes to a single people,
and that one of the most enlight-
ened and intelligent upon the globe,
could be seen i'll their appalling and
CHASTITY character. Such figures as
those cited above carry their own
moral and preach their own SER
mon"
