DEAR SRI am in receipt of your
request OF yesterday, made in behalf
OF the committee, for presentation OF
my plan for the protection Of the cav
ing bluff, with estimates.
Both the essential features Of the
plan aud its probable gross cost | have
already communicated to YOU in my
letter Of the nth instant. | cannot ven
ture much further with detail in ad-
vance of information to be obtained
only from surveys Of the actual pres
ent condition aud shape OF the liver
bed at the place where the work is to be
done. Desiring, however, TO meet in
every possible way the wishes Of the
committee, offer the following addi-
tioual particulars Of my plan, ss 1t Is
now in my mind. ! especially invite
attention 10 the essence OF the plan,
whicn is the building of so many COM
poeite structures of brush and stone OF
certain general dimensions, and in
specified positions with respect to the
bank. Beyond this particulars are
somewhat premature and subject TO
change. | would propose to lay hve
spuIs in the 300 feet now cavlng

375feetf from center o center whether

Each spur should consist, first, OF

NExrcAN WIZ PENSIONS.

GArRsvILLE, TEX, Feb g. 1886.
To the Editor OF the Gazette
WIN you please publish for the benefit OF the
Mexican war veterans any information you
may have ia relation to bill passed 10 provide
pensions for same when to take place, amount,
etc. and otiige, yours truly,
Ed RAScIER.
Nothing has been done by the present
congress except TO introduce bills for
pensionlng Mexican soldiers. Several
such have been referred to committees,
and one or two have received favorable
reports, but so far none Of them have
become laws.
A great majority Of the soldiers of the
Mexican war were drawn from the
South. That war was unpopular in the
North. Three-fourtbs Of the veterans
who would be benefited by the passage
OF such a pension bill live in the South,
and most OF them are supposed to have
served in the Confederate army or sympa-
thized with the 'rebels.n Any effort to
pension them is therefore opposed by the
Republicans. They dare not show an
avowed hostility to pension Mexican vet
Grams, but they can, by loading it down
with obnoxious amendments, bring about
its defeat. Such tactics have always led
TO the failure of the bills to pass
When it comes to voting arrears OF pen
sions to bounty-jumpers, deserters and
substitutes in the late war, congress acts
