RuRR,S PAPERS.
The Interest Which the Finding OF -
Bundle of Papers Once Belonging To
Aaron Burr Has Excited.
lAlbany Evening Journal.l


[Albany Evening JournaLl
We are informed that since his recovery
of the Burr papers, Mr.. l.. b. Proctor, of
this city, has been flooded with letters
from various parts of the United States,
making all kinds of inquiry concerning
Colonel Burr and his law papers. One
writer, gentleman residing at Danville,
H., asks if it is possible for him TO obtain
the real autograph of Burr. 81 should con-
slider it almost priceless. Please send me
his signature and draw on me for any
reasonable amount for your compensa-
tion," he says. A lady from Charleston,
s. c., inquiries for some valuable papers
her grandfather, then resident of the
city of New York, left with Colonel Burr
when his office was in Nassau street.
Some of these establish titles to valuable
lands on Long Island. She says: ''If in
your searches you should discover these
papers, the heirs of my grandfather could
recover a large landed property. Mr.. Burr
had them just before his duel with Hamil
ton, and, as he alleged, in the excitement
of that tragedy he mislaid them and
could never find them. Much money
has beef spent to discover them, as
they form connecting link in
most perfect chain of title to an inn
mense estate. Who knows but that you
may find them" gentleman in Phila-
delphia writes DO you think it proba-
bic that you will, in your Investigations,
lind papers that will explain Burr's real
designs in regard to his plans touching
Mexico and the Red River and whether he
and Blennerhassett really meant to estab-
lish kingdom of their own in that coun
tryi" A gentleman of Columbus, O., asks:
"Can you not send me one of the law pa
pers of Mr.. Burr, which | see you have
found? l want it for historical society
of which / am a member" These are only
a few of the letters of inquiry which Mr..
Proctor has received. The impression
seems to prevail that he is devoting himself
TO matters entirely connected with Colonel
Burr. This is not the case. While search
ing for the material for his work." The
Continuation, Revision and Annexation of
Hammond's Political History he, of
cour Sc, finds much that pertains not only
to the history of Colonel Burr, but to all
the distinguished political characters in
the early history of the State. In this way
he discovered the bundle of papers belong
ing to Colonel Burr, which has led to all
this inquiry, demonstrating the deep inter-
est which the American people take in the
history and career of Aaron Burr.

mExICAN MATTERS.
A Texan Armed Force 90 Invade
the Hepublic.

ST. LOUIS, December 25. The follow.
ing is furnished by the Brownsville, Tex,
correspondent Of the Globe. DemocrDf
under to-day's date: "Advices from
Rome, Tex, say that force estimated
from 100 to $50 men are congregated at
Jean Maldenado's ranch, fous miles from
Rome, arming and preparing for raid
on Mier, Mexico, which is about seven
miles distant from the ranch. They are
partisaus OF one of the defeated candi-
dates for Mayor in the recent election at
Mier, and on raising a riot were driven
out by the Federal troops. The rioters
retreated across the Rio Grande and
fired on the troops from the American
bank. 1t is not known whether the
United States authorities have taken
any steps to break up the expedition.
Another correspondent writing from
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, says; General
Gomez, COMMANDMENTS Chief of this di-
vision of the Mexican army, arrived here
last night and this morning issued an
order commanding the fourth battalion
Of cavalry TO start at once for Mier.
Although the reason for this movement
il not understood, il is thought the
troops have been ordered there to pre-.
serve peace at the time OF the inaugura-
ton OF the newly elected officials on
January lst A sufficient number Of
troops have been retained to perform
similar duty here. There is no proba-
bility of any trouble here, though hopes
are entertained by the Gonzales faction
that the election will be anuulled by the
government"
A special dispatch to the Globe.
Democrat from Saltillo, Mexico,
says; Preparations are now going on
in this State (Coahuilal for the guberna-
torial election which is to take place
next February. The candidates are the
same as were before the people last No

set aside by the Federal Government.
The second battalion of cavalry, 300
strong, has been ordered to
Piedras Negras, on the extreme north
ern boundary of the State, to preserve
order, and il is supposed, the freedom of
the ballot box. All the towns of the
State OF any importance are being gar
risoned with troops. Notwithstanding
all these precautions opinions are ex-
pressed by prominent politicians that all
will come to naught and that the mill
tary Governor will be retained.

doubts expressed, however, as to his
authority to discharge the duties Of Sub.

said that no appointment can be made
before the reassembling of Congress and
the Treasury Department is expected to
provide against any interruption Of
business at the New York Sub Treasury.

aRANT,s MONUMENT.
The mmitteemen Fall Out and
the Scheme Is Delayed.


the Scheme Is Delayed.
San Francisco, December ga spe.
cial to the Eram iner from New York
says: The papers refer without a pre-
tense of disguise to the bitter feeling
which has arisen in the Grant Memorial
Committee. The Chairman. Chester A.
Arthur, has attended no meeting lately
nor signed any document relating to the
monument project. and many others are
with him in holding aloof. The cause
Of this is the publication Of the names of
the entire committee, with the subscrip-
tons of those who had made any. thus
casting a slur upon several hundred who
had not contributed dollar. This is
construed by them in a measure as CO.
ercion, and now they are antagonistic to
the whole scheme. Jay Gould was the
original iBoiter of the displeasing meas
ure. He is a committeeman, and at q
meeting he spoke emphatically of those
who had refrained from subscribing.
Soon after the list was published.
Inc secretary says tfuthiuiiy that
neither he nor the books of the
fund provided the information. which
was readily obtained by searching the
daily record of contributions for the
names of the committee. Nevertheless
the aggrieved ones hold that il was at
tempted to shame them into giving. that
promoters Of the fund sanctioned it and
that it is an insult they can resent only
by having nothing further to do with
the business. Not millionaire named
in the roll has sent in anything since its
publication. The belief is now that the
fund will be closed when $50, 900 has
been raised, and city, State and national
governments will then be asked to ap-
propriate slOO. 600 each, making total
sum of $3.50, 900 with which to build the
monument.

BRowER MUST 60.
An Appraiser-Geaera Dfstaste-
fnl 20 the People.

New YORK, December 2S.-J. ID,
Phelps. OF this city, well known in con.
nection with various commercial inter
ests Of the country, has submitted to
President Cleveland series of formal
charges against George V. Brewer. ap.
pointed by the President to be General
Appraiser at this port. who as a recess
appointee has been filling that office
and whose confirmation fesss with
the Senate matter is made public to-day.
In a letter to the President under date
Of December oath. transmitting his
charges, Phelps. among other things,
says: 81 have appeared as witness in
favor of the government in three differ
ent cases before Brewer within the past
few weeks, and | base my charges upon
facts within my personal knowledge
Charges OF a similar character from
other sources can and will be furnished
you if desired, all tending in the same
direction, and showing incompetency,
neglect of duty, and possibly dishonesty
Of this officer. He is not fit man for
the position he occupies, as the testimo-
ny will show. l do not make these
charges lightly, or with a desire to in
jure Brewer. l make them because l
believe he as a public officer in the serv-
ice OF the government is wholly unfit for
the position he occupies. am willing
that the records of his own office shall
determine the question as to his intelli-
gence, his performance of duty and
his honesty. Charges similar to these,
which | enclose herewith, shall lay
before the United States Senate and the
Committee on Commerce OF that body,
who will have TO pass upon the confirm
alton OF Browei for the public office
which he now holds. As private eiti-
zen it is not permitted me to know what
cases of imported merchandise under
appraisement have come before Brewer
during his term of office. | am informed,
however, that upward Of 1000 cases of
invoices have been referred to him for &C.
tion wherein the Appraiser at New York,
Mr.. McMullen, acting under advice OF
his assistant appraisers and examiners,
after careful scrutiny, has lvanced the
invoices, and in large majority OF
which cases the general appraiser has
sustained the importers and defrauded
the government OF its Just dues. | do
not presume you personally can investi-
gate the official conduct Of Mr.. Brewer,
but to whoever the question OF
his efficiency and honesty may be
referred, shall be prepared to furnish
testimony going to show that he is an
officer wholly unfit for the position he
occupies" Under the same date Phelps
writes long letter to Secretary Man
ming, in which he complains that Brow
er has failed to give full force to the
views expressed in the Treasury circu-
lar of July 7th last concerning methods
Of ascertaining the value Of imported
goods, particularly classes Of goods man
uiacture abroad exclusively for export
and which, therefore. had no quotable
market value at the point OF manufac-
ture

Tbe British GRAIN Trade.

LONDON, December 2s.--The Mark
Lane Express, in its review Of the Bri tish
grain trade during the past week, says;
The weather has been cold, damp and
f'ggy. The growing crops are healthy.
The principal feature in the wheat
market is the ability of holders of Eng.
lsh wheat to undersel foreign wheat.
The sales of English wheat during the
week were 6l 1858 quarters at 3Os ID,
against 80, 1872 quarters at 3ls 81 during
the corresponding week last year. The
trade in foreign wheat is confined TO
merchant retailers. Stocks are heavy.
American -four is cheaper. There is no
feature in cargo market. Eight arrived,
two were sold, both of them California,
one sold at 35s Sd, the other at secret
price; two cargoes were withdrawn and
two remained. Trade forward is stag
naht. At to-day's market business was
OF a holiday character. Flour was very
dull. New American corn is Cd cheaper.
Grinding barleys are tending downward.

A suit Decided.

PORTLAND, Or, December 2S.-In the
State Circuit Court to-day Judge steerns
decided the great SUIT OF Holiday VS..
Holladay in favor of Ben Holladay.
The history of the case is as follows;
In 1876 when Ben was being crowded to
the wall by numerous misfortuues he
transferred to his brother Joe all of his
property in Oregon to secure Joe for
$50, 900 which Ben owed him. The
property was then worth about $780,
600. Since then the value has more
than doubled and the property is worth
to-day nearly million, if not more.
About year ago Ben came back to
Oregon and demanded a settlement from
Joe, which was refused. He then
brought suit and Joe claimed that the
property was decided to him in fee sim
pie. Ben claimed that he only decided
It in trust, and the court to-day so held.
Joe's claim. with interest, now amounts
to $24O, 900, which Ben must pay before
he can recover possession. The case
will no doubt be appealed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 2s.-
The Ledger says; Probably the most
important matter of home news in the
ledger this morning is our Washington
correspondents confirmation of the
Washington Republicans canvass of the
House of Representatives on the silver
coinage question. The figures given in
dicate 1877 Representatives opposed to
the suspension of the Bland Dollar act
and only 1913 Representative in favor of
its suspension. The situation in the
Senate is not much better, for according
to our correspondents inquiries there
seem now to be but 32 Senators in favor
of the suspension, while A Senators are
believed to be against it.

DUBUQUE, December 2S.-A sensa-
tional case of vitrol throwing occurred
here to.night a few minutes to ten
o'clock. Frank Woods. engineer on the
Illinois Central Railroad, was walking to
the yard for the purpose of taking out a
freight train. At the lower end of Main
street two women stepped out OF a dark

vitrol upon him. II struck Woods in
the face and it is feared the sight of
both eyes has been entirely lost. His
cries brought assistance. The women
escaped in the darkness. He was taken
to his residence where he is now suffer
ing terrible agony. The women have
not yet been arrested. II is believed
that one OF them is Kate Welsh, who a
short time since sued Woods for bas-
inrdy. Il is still pending Since Il was
