Finances-Parnells Statement.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.


The President Congratulates Congress on
the National Prosperity.
Cry OF Mexico, April 1.-The Presidents
message to Congress states that the Gautema-
la question is definitely settled, and Mexico
enjoys peace with all foreign powers. He
will present the commercial treaty with the
United States to the Senate for ratification
when he deems the proper time has arrived.
He considers the treaty beneficial to both
countries, but it has not been ratified by the
American Senate. He congratulates Con-
gress upon the peace prevailing throughout
the country. There have been few disturb
ances since last September, and those purely
local. and all terminated satisfactorily. The
postal reform authorized by Congress will be
introduced very soon. and is expected to
bring substantial benefits to the country.
The treasury receipts for the first
half of the present fiscal year
were larger than those of the last
half by nearly $1,000000, but importation
duties are falling off, which the President
explains thus; When the Central and Ma
tional railroads commenced construction,
they drew all their money from abroad;
since they have completed long sections of
line their traffic receipts, with the govern
ment subscriptions, have diminished their
need of foreign money. The sudden intro
duction of large amounts of foreign money
lowered discounts ana facilitated business
Since these companies have ceased drawing
all their money from abroad money has be-
come scarce and interest on the same in
creased; consequently the orders for foreign
goods have slightly decreased The Presi-
dent says the development OF all the ma
tional industries have steadily increased, and
he is confident the present prosperity will
remain uninterrupted, but recommends to
Congress prudent economy. He refers with
satisfaction to the rapid advance of railroad
work, especially on the Central and Nation
al. Revision on the customs tariff contin-
ues but the work will require several
months more

Detroit.

DETROIT, April 2-The election was held
in this State to-day for two Supreme Court
judges, two regents of the State University.
The Democrats and Greenbackers formed a
fusion ticket, dividing the candidates equally
between them. The returns indicate re-
duced vote as compared with the fall cleo
ton. The result cannot be stated definitely
tonight, but it seems probable that John w.
Champlin, Fusion, and Thomas Obner Re-
publican, are chosen judges; and the same di-
vision of regents. In this city the election
for six members of the board of education re-
suited in the election of a straight Democratic
ticket, the majorities ranging from 100 TO 800.

most unmerciful manner. O'Brian then drew a
knife and stabbed a Russian bloodhound belong

suit fatally. They then departed, and no arrests
had been made as late rs 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing. The cause of the assault is unknown.

fled that when he detected Marsh, Marsh
told him to keep still about what he had
seen OF loading bodies at the dead house;

Twenty children in one ward used to cry at

then, but the next day showed "a few hun

Notes by Cable.

The house of landlord named Dickson,
OF Limerick, who had been boycotted, was
attacked Sunday night by number OF men,
who plundered it OF its valuables.
The Vienna New Freie Press says that the
number of members of the Castrati tribe
murdered at Lake Senatani by Montenegrins,
was twenty-five, instead of four, as previously
reported.
At Cork, a laborer named Morgan was ar
rested on charge OF conspiracy. Impor-
tant documents and a quantity of q com
pound used in making dynamite were found
with him.
1t is believed in French military circles
that General Cam penon, recently commander
of the Fifth division, Third army corps, will
shortly succeed General Thebaudin as Min
lister of War.
The steamer Indiana took the first batch
of emigrants forwarded free by the British
government to America. The party num-
bered seventy-five, and was principally COM
posed of persons evicted at Connemara, Ire
land.
The government bonded warehouse in
Springer street, Liverpool. was entered Mon
day, and a number of casks of spirits opened
and the contents spilled, 1t is supposed with
incendiary intent. There was no fire, how
ever.
Reports from Limerick say that among the
improved condition of affairs in that city the
extra force of police, which has been kept
up for some time past, has been materially
decreased. This was done on the advice of
Clifford Lloyd, magistrate at Limerick.
Three constables from Balla, Ireland, have
gone to America in quest of Hines and
Valley, who are suspected of having muir
dered Feerick, in June, 1880. The crime
created much sensation at the time. as it was
believed to be political murder. The arrest
of twenty-six persons last week at Balinrobe,
on the charge of being accomplices in the
murder revived recolections of the crime.

New York, April "a suit presenting
some novel features was brought to trial to-
day. The plaintiff is Cornelius Brinkerhoff
and the defendant Sarah S. Perry, his di-
vorced wife. Brnkerhoff inherited large
fortune some years ago, and, as he admits,
became a drunkard. In 1868 he gave his wife
what he thought was trust deed for his es
tate This was in reality a deed of gift.
His wife procured divorce, and he was left
penniless. He now sues, having reformed,
for the return OF his property. Mrs. Perry
sets up in defense that the deed was given to
her by her then husband, with full knowl-
edge of its contents. abandonment and stat
ute limitations. The property in dispute
amounts to about $11S,00O The case will be
continued tomorrow.

of expedition upon witnesses routes were
taken up. and he was asked if he recollected
them. In the majority OF cases he recollected
the orders, but declared that he was not in
the city at the time. He had never dr~S,n a
cent from the government on account of
these routes during two quarters but he had
discounted drafts through the banks which
secured the money.
Mr.. Merrick inquired if the witness did
not recolect that within few months OF his
assuming charge OF the business the receipts
from the routes had been increased by $l01,-
24635 per anaum.
Counsel objected to the question.
Court said that the fact could neither be
proved or disproved by witness recollection.
Mr.. Merrick thought that it was hardly
probable that man could have no recollec-
ton of such large increase in his income.
Witness said he remembered an increase
al receipts generally, but not a specific sum.
1t was mistake to suppose that the profits
were large. The Mineral PnrkPioc route
showed an apparent profit OF $4,000 per
annum, but it had been sold for a small
sum; ne said it was an actual loss from the
heavy fines and reductions, and $50, 900 of
that remained yet unpaid.
Mr.. Merrick wished to know if witness
meant TO say the contractors paid the fines
for which subcontractors were responsible
He answered that they did in many cases.
Witness only drew pay for service during
quarters ending Dec 81, 1879. and thereafter
Among the routes which had not paid, wit
ness cited the Toqueville-Addville route, in
which Rerdell had an interest, and was paid
$500 per annum. In his management of
this route, said witness, Rerdell stole 81. 900
from Bosler and himself. Witness was in
terrupted by the prosecution while describ-
ing the method by which Rerdell committed
this robbery. and the court ruled that the
matter was not pertinent.
Mr. Bliss undertook to say that the state
ment was untrue.
Mr. Ingersoll offered to prove that it was
true.
Witness said he ought to know something
about it, when he had paid the money, but
the court refused to permit further answer,
Witness said Bosler went into the business
to advance money When witness left the
city in July, 1879 he had no intention of re-
turning, Supposed that he had Informed
Bosler as to the nature of the business but
had no recollection of having a statement
made for that purpose, or of having directed
Rerdel to show the books to Bosler, who was
to advance the money and receive interest
for it. He was also to receive a third inter
est as a bonus. Witness would not have re-
ferred Bosler to such man as Rerdell, be-
cause Bosler was in the habit of thoroughly
examining into matter when he advanced
money. Had settled with Bosler just before
the beginning of this trial, and the account
book had been given to witness. Adjourned
