dom, who has been in this city for several
days with his family, being seen in rela.
ton to the reported retaliation on live
stock and meat products by the Mexican
Government en- account Of the rulings OF
ton of duties on Mexican vessels and lead
ore. said that I'm regard to lead ore this
Government bad not recently entered
upon any policy shutting out the products
Of Mexico No ruling had been lately
made on the subject except certain in.
structions to the collectors Of customs on
the border to prevent the fraudulent inn
portation of Mexican lead ore.
A question as to the classification OF
lead ores had been for some time pending
in the department, but no decision In re-
gard to the matter had yet been reached.
In regard to imposing duties on Mexican
vessels the law imposed discriminating
duty of 10 per cent. on goods imported in
foreign vessels, except the vessels OF ma
tions with which the United States had
treaties on the subject The President
was authorized to relieve the vessels Of
other nations from that discrimin ating
duty upon satisfactory proof that such
countries did not levy such duties on
United States vessels. As Mexico did
levy such a discriminating duty upon
goods imported in American sailing ves-
sells, there was no power to relieve her
vessels from such duty.

FROM THE FAR NORTH.
Drought and Forest Fires Causing Niue
Distress In tho Pexo River Country.

Drought and Forest Fires Causing Much
, Distress In tho Pexo River Country.
CHICAGO. Sept GA Times special from
Winnipeg, Man., says: Thomas Ander-
son, factor of the Hudson Bay Company
in the far of Pexo river country, has ar.
rived from the north. He says the sum.
mer has been very dry in the Pexo river
region and against the growth OF crop.
There has also been q frost, injuring
the crop everywhere but at Dunvegan.
Tho woods are being destroyed along the
south side of tho Pexo by the fires which
have never ceased all summer. The fires
have driven out the game and destroyed
tho berries, SO there is likely to be more
hunger than ever this coming winter.
Unless rain falls the fires will be still
more destructive. The Beaver Indians,
the natives of the country, are dying
out very fast. but the st. Crees. who
are coming in from the Less er Slave lake
and Edmonton, are increasing.

His Report Kiowa. COmanche and
Apache Indians.
WASHINGTON. Sept 6.-Agent W. d.
Myers, of the Kiowa. Comanche and
Wichita agency in the Indian Territory,
has submitted an elaborate annual report
to the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs.
This reserv alton, including the Apache
tract. aggregates q total of 8. 594 600 acres,
and he says that not more than so per
cent of this will ever be successfully
utilized for agriculture He does not
think, however. that these Indians can be
made self.supporting unless by the COM
pulsory process and Withholding their
rations unless each male of twenty years
or over shall plant and cultivate ten acres
Of corn, wheat or oats. The total number
of Indians Is f. S6 The school interests
have been advanced, but much room ex-
lists for Improvement. There ID q hopeful
field for missionary work. the Methodist
Church (South). the Re formed and Old
School Presbyt erians and the Baptist
Churches maintaining earnest mission
aries.
Agent Myers further states that these
Indians all oppose allotment Of their land
in severalty, claiming that they are not
yet ready for the change. He therefore
believes that they should not now be
forced to accept the measure. They
realize, however, that it must come soon
and they are preparing for the new order.

Opuo.ition 10 Lincoln in 1864

OF course the Democratic party, what
there was left Of il, was opposed TO the re
election of Lincoln in 1864, their platform
being THE war il failure" but that
many prominent Republicans were OPP
posed to him was not generally known
then and is news to NEST people now, but
such seems TO be the fact.
The July Century publishes some OF the
secret, history Of those times, and recent
issue Of the N. Y. Sun publishes several
letters, q few Of which we give:
Horace Greeley wrote in August, 1864;
"Mr. Lincoln is already beaten; he cannot
be elected; we must have another ticket to
save us from utter overthrow" And he
advocated the nomination OF General
Butler, General Grant or General Sher-
man, with Admiral Farragut for vice presi-
dent"
Whitelaw Reid wrote that he had done
what he could to influence public opinion
In favor OF Lincoln's withdrawal, and ad !.
ded, 1--WE think Mcclellan and Pendleton
strong ticket and fear the result"
Richard Smith, now editor of the Gin
cinnsti Commercial Gazette, wrote that
"the people regard Mr.. Lincoln's candidacy
as q misfortune. HIS apparent strength
when nominated was fictitious. and now
the fiction has disappeared, and instead Of
confidence there is distrust" II do not
know o Lincoln man." ha continued.
"Tbe withdrasal OF Lincoln and Fremont
and the nomination oi man that would
inspire confidence and infuse life into our
ranks would bs hailed with general de-
light"
''Here are the written words of Cbas.
Sumner: 1T may be that Mr.. Lincoln
will see that we shall all be stronger and
more united under another candidate.
But il he does no. see IL so. our duty 10
none the less clear to mite 10 the oppose
tion to the common enemy"
Lucius Robinson. afterwards governor
Of New York. wrote: I'm my judgment
Mcclellan will inevitably be the next pres
ident. unless Lincoln aud johnson Ire q.
once withdrawn"
The fact was tha. the common people
were Overwhelmingly in favor OF Lincoln,
and most of The Republicans named above
aud others who were secretly opposed
to him dared not make public their wishes
Secretary Chase desired very much to be
the Republican candidate in place Of Lin
coin, but be had no following among the
people. A few Of The leaders, I've NIGH
