The Border BATTLE-GROUND.

General Sherman on April 28 telegraphed
to General Crook, at Prescott, Arizona, as
follows
In the absence of definite information from
you as TO your movements, and inasmuch as
newspaper reports indicate that you propose
military expedition Into Mexico, the Score.
tary OF War deems 1t proper to instruct you
that no military movements must be made
into or within the territory of Mexico which is
not authorized by the agreement between this
country and Mexico, published in general or
ders numbered 81 and 119 headquarters Of
the Army, 1882. Negotiations for the naodin-
cation are now going on with the Mexican
Government, but 1t cannot be assumed in ad-
vance that that Government will assent to any
modification.
The agreement referred to permits the
troops of each country to cross the boundary
when in close pursuit of hostile Indians in
the unpopulated parts, which are at least
two leagues distant from any encampment
or town of either country. The pursuing
party must retire across the line as soon as
it has fought the band which it is pursuing,
or has lost its trail

THE OUTRAGEOUS TAX
Levied Upon the PubIic by the
Aaueduct Bridge COmDauy.

TO the Editor Of The Eyening Grille.
Under the shadow of the Goddess of Liberty
for many years there has existed one OF the
most tyrannical and oppressive systems OF
taxation that our country has ever known.
On July 81, 1858, during the lest hours of
the Fortieth Congress- about midnight when
the members OF both Houses were wearied
from the heat and exertlon attendant upon
several consecutive night sessions, a bill was
introduced by the hired accessories OF tho
Alexandria Canal Company to erect a toll
bridge across the Potomac River at George
town.
Now the prospective toll of this bridge had
been raised to the highest possible rates, with
the expectancy that the fair-minded members
OF the committee having It in charge would re-
duce It at least two thirds, but by cunningly-
devised plan II was hurried through the COM
mittee-room without revision, and, to the de-
lighted astonishment OF the bridge company,
became law.
The bridge was soon erected and, like a
thunder-bolt from clear sky, came the start
ling fact to the farmers OF the adjacent coun-
ties that ten per cent. OF all their hard learned
profits must be paid to enrich this gigantic
monopoly, or, In other words, that they must
contribute nearly $4,000 per annum for the
privilege OF crossing the Potomac River on a
common pine bridge.
Simultaneous with this discovery Mr.. Robert
A. Phillips, one OF tho largest land owners in
Alexandria County, secured the Introduction
OF petition 10 Congress-, signed by the lead
Ing citizens OF several adjoining counties and
Georgetown, 10 reduce the tolls two.thirds, or
TO the amount which tho company had at first
concluded would be allowed on their original
bill.
For this purpose bill was successfully
carried through the House, but upon reaching
the Senate the Aforesaid accessories OF the
bridge company quietly but effectually de.
feated IT, leaving tho people still subject TO
this legalized form OF robbery.
The company, still receiving an enormous
rate OF interest on their investment, and sure
OF eventually disposing OF the wretched struc-
ture for more than Its original cost, determined
yield rich return.
Years have elapsed, and Father Time, unin-
nuenced by politics or money, has slowly but
surely exerted his tlreless energy upon each
tiny particle OF the wooden pile, until now, as
Il groans, the prelude to Its own destruction,
chase.
Thus Will end one OF the saddest specimens
OF legislation which has dlsgraced the halls OF
our National Congress; honor and truth sub
merged beneath torrent OF mercenary
schemes, aud 10 Time is left the doubtful
honorof restitution. LOUIS L. PHILLIPS.
