1Hs MEXICAN OUTRAGE.
A GfaVe Sttuati0n---T Mexican
National Hatred of Americans.

GAIvEsToN Tex. July 19.-Regarling
The reported attack by mob of Mexicaus
on the office aud person of the acting consul
Of the United States at Monterey, Mexico,
comment here is to the effect that the situa-
tiou developed is grave one, and one which
tue Government of the United States
must feel itself Immediately called upon
to investigate For some time past
La Reyista, the leading newspaper i'll Mon
terey has been quite incorporate in its Ian
guage regarding Americans and American
enterprise in Mexico, and it is just possible
that growing out of this has been famed a
fame resulting in the outrage reported.
There is bad feeling in Mexico beyond a
doubt. The late affair at Bustamente was a
mere cropping out of what is a deep-seated
sentiment in Mexico, held in check only by
limited number of the population. A
former resident of San Antonio,
who has been ranching near Mon
tery, but who SOLD out and and has Just re-
turned, says that the land and water are
good and the place is admirable for ranch
ing, but unless the ranchman is connected
with Mexican families he is robbed by the
wholesale. Americans are regarded as in
truders, A Galveston gentleman well in
formed on Mexican affairs expresses the
opinion that while it is a difficult matter 10
change national sentiment, and equally as
difficult now to check the tide of Ameacau
enterprise and progress that has set in toward
Mexico, yet one or the other apparently must
give way.
A prominent gentleman who is posted on
the subject states that the feeling throughout
the territory penetrated by the Mexican
National railway was extremely bitter against
Americans prior to the Bustamente affair,
| and that that seemed to incite the populaCe to
| a still greater degree Of hatred, and this was
| especially the feeling manifested at Monterey
| the seat of the present outrage, where they
| held that the Mexican National railway was
killing the prosperity of Monterey and di-
vertang its trade to other channels; that the
| true state of affairs in Mexico and the hos
| tiEty of the Mexicans to everything Ameri
can had been studiously suppressed by the
! Mexican National and other railway com,
panies constructing lines i'll Mexico; that il
| was his opinion from actual observation and
| dispassionate view Of the situation that still
| greater outrages against Americans would
| speedily follow the Monterey affair unless
| the American government took prompt &C
| tion to redress the insult to her consul.

ALL LOVELY,

The New York Star of Saturday last
has an editorial ON the subject of the re-
nomination of the cold ticket" which is
full of significance, The Star is the or
gan of the Tammany democracy, and i:
said to be controlled, if not owned, by
John Kelly. That paper in the conrse OF
long article says:
"Tbe fate of the party lies in the hand;
of its leaders. If in their judgment, as
well as in that of the friends of Mr. Til
den, it it the best and wisest and safes
policy to place once more in the field the
ticket which was triumphantly elected il
1876, no democrat has a right to object
''And if. setting all personal consider
atoms and individual ambitions aside
the democracy, through their representa-
tives in national convention, should con
clude to revitalize and vindicate the ole
idea, it will be beyond the power of am
loyal democrat to withhold his approva
of that action"
Commenting on the foregoing. the Gin
cinnati Enquirer declares that "this re
moves the only formidable opposition
(that of Tammany) there has been to Mr.
Tilden, and therefore it means a great
deal"

Judge Hayes. Democratic Candidate
for Judge OF the supreme Court. on
the situation,


CHICAGO, July 1a-Judge W. l. Hayes,
Democratic candidate for Judge of the Iowa
supreme court, being at the Sherman House,
talked as follows to a Tribune reporter:
The prohibition people admit they viii
lose ia the river counties, but say they will
make up for it in the interior districts. How
do you regard thatf'
why, they viii find themselves grievously
mistaken 1t is just i'll the rural districts
that we notice the most favorable signs.
There was such large falling off in the Re
publican vote last fall in the river counties
that the movement is not SO marked now.
But in the other parts of the state the vote
has been solid pretty much until this year,
and if / am not very much mistaken they
will have a surprise party before
they get through You see we are
advocating license system, for that matter
q high one-something that is already de
| monstrated success in various localities, while
they are advocating prohibition, which is
certainly the most dismal failure ofthe age
The vote on the amendment was no test; il
| received many Democratic votes from thost
who wished to discipline the Germans, while
tens of thousands did not vote at all. Tht
IIblilDitlDulStS ever NDtt lilty COulu
1t is safe to say those who did not vote were
opposed to the agitation. This time they vii
come out and will be heard from This viii
really not be political contest, and do no
care to see it made such Even should thr
Republican ticket be defeated, it will no
really be a Democratic victory"
What shape will the legislative fgh
takegn
THAT is Allison's fight, and / think tn,
senator is going to find himself on the out
side. / say so because, if the Republican
carry the legislature, and their prospects ar
fair for doing 50, the majority viii be pre-
hibition majority, and it viii not be for ALI
son, but for some pronounced Prohihitionist
They have no great love for Allison II
however, the Republican state ticket i
beaten it may so disgust the party with tn
| prohibition element that the latter viii stel
to the rear, and in that event / think sen
ator Allison would, of course, be reelected.
