to Lotta, and one eye in weeping over her depar

public are unacquainted, hut which will be sure
to find immediate and very great favor through
his instrumentality. He will present the best
music of Raff, Rubenstein and other artists of
the same school, of course in masterly and artis

never have too much of these, it is simply fair
that some attention should be given to the great
musicians of the present—men of superlative -
ability, who, in a few years, will themselves be
classed among the old masters. Mr. Wolfsohn
has volunteered to introduce these artists to us,
and itts quite certain that acquaintance is only
needed to ensure popularity. .

MAIWEILLES, 1868.—Now that the
Bourbons have left Spain—according to all hu
man calculation never to return—it will not be
uninteresting to survey the attitude of those
staunch allies of the Bourbons-4-the priests. Queen
Isabella reigned over Spain ' but the clergy
reigned over Queen Isabella. With the downfall
of the throne not a little of the undue ascendency
'of the altar must alio go to the ground. Free
dom of conscience and worship has been the
first principle proclaimed by all the revolution
ary juntas; throughout the Peninsula; freedom
and equalityfor all creeds in a country which till
yesterday was behind the Turk and behind the
Pope himself in all matters connected with re -
IlgiOns tolerance. If free trade in religion, sets
in, the Roman Catholic may look forward to the
loss of his monopoly, and it would be needless
to say that so long as any Government followed
a policy of protectionism the priest was, body
and soul, devoted to that Government.
There is, however, wonderful elasticity and
pliability in the Roman Catholic clergy. Those
who have found out , that " iy a aveo le rid der
aceomodements,"can be at no lose for the means of
coming to terms with a successful revolution.
In Spain the mutual relation between the priest
and the citizen need not be disturbed by those
political interests which, in Italy, are wound up
in the sovereignity of the high Priest. In Spain
the Church is truly ecclesiastical. She rows in
the same boat with the secular power; but if she
is wise enough to rat from the foundered craft at
me `right moment, there is no reason why she
may not creep up on board of any new vessel
that may bravely weather the storm. Mere
toleration need not imply heresy or schism.
The opening of an English chapel at Mslap,a, or
the building of a synagogue at Barcelona, need
not interfere with the loaves and. fishes of the
orthodox laborer of the vineyard. When the
Spaniard has got so far as to secure freedom of
worsbip,what will he do with it? He is a Catho
lic or he is nothing. Religion cannot utterly die
out of a country, and so long as Allah is Allah,
the Pope—or the priest ordained by the Pope—
will be his prophet in Spain.
We need not be surprised, therefore, if on the
first tidings of the success of the Liberal cause at
the Bridge of Alcolea,,or on the arrival of Prim.
the Madrid steeples set up their merriest peals;
we need not be surprised if the Bishops of Valen
do, of Huesca, of Havana and Barcelona came
forward with congratulation's to the Revolution
ary Juntas established In their respective diocesea
volunteering "their prayers to the Almighty for
the continuation of those Juntas in power."
Bishop Pentaleon, of Barcelona, trusting that the
Junta 'would labori at the preservation of order,
and Watch over the moral and material interests
of his flock, offered his co-operation and that of
his cler,ry towards anything that may lead to the
welfare of the country : 'For flats own part, the
Patriarch of the Indies was among the first to
visit Marshall Serrano upon his taking the reins
of the Provisional Government in the early part
of last week. •
On the side Of the people no other war cry has
been raised hitherto, thap that which, called tor
the expulsion of the Jesuits—a measure in per
fect conformity with existinglaws. It would be
rash, however, to rely with too great confidence
( ..on the long continuance of the smoothness of
these first halcyon days of a successful revolu
tion. Between the Spanish nation and the clergy
there are open accounts, which must be settled
sooner or later. Already the liberal papers throw
out hints as to the expediency of discontinuing
the tribute of 30 millions rests (about $1,500,000)
which found its way to Rome under a variety of
pretexts, no less than the assignment of 9,000 duros
($9,000), which the Spanish Government paid to
the Nuncio—the only instance in the civilized
world of an Ambassador receiving his salary
from the court to which he is accredited. You
are aware that the mob have been lately rioting
at the doors of the Nuncio's residence, and that
Up Concordat has been banned before the Nun
eio's very eyes.
The diplomatic relations between Rome and
Madrid will have to be re-established on some
new basis, and till negotiations become
possible, Monsignor Franck' has no business in
Madrid.

AFEALUS IN SPAIN.
The Probable
The London Saturday Review says :
The Provisional Government have apparently
authorized the London Times' correspondent to
say that their candidate for the Throne is Ferdi
nand of Coburg, husband of the last Queen of
Portugal, and father of the present King. The
idea Ia that by elcting him Spain will acquire a
good administrator and a resolute constitution
alist for the present, while in the future the suc
cession may tall to the King of Portugal, and the
Peninsula thus be once more united. At the same
time, the Emperor of the French is precluded
from demanding compensation. King Ferdinand
is a Catholic of the Coburg.type, i. e, not Ultra
montane; has had great experience, and governed
Portugal as Regent for some years very satisfac
torily. The only objections in the way seem to
be that he is unwilling to undertake the burden.
Prim, however, would hardly have announced
his candidate unless sure of his consent, and we
suspect, in view of the disturbed state of the
country, that we shall next week have to record
the installation of Ferdinand the Eighth, King of
Spain.
The Times remarks that the acceptance of the
Spanish crown by King Ferdinand of Portugal
would seem like a betrayal of all that is most
glorious in the latter annals of the country.
Yet, if guarantees were given for the separate ad
ministration of the two kingdoms and the main
tenance of the laws and customs of the weaker,
the Portuguese, under the advice of Europe and
the Influence of their own reflection, might be
led in time to acquiesce in union. The election
of King Ferdinand to the throne of Spain might
or might not be made a step to this consumma
tion. Ii his elder son, the King of Portugal.
were declared his heir, the two Crowns would be
united at his death; that is, after an interval which
might be employed in bringing Spain Into the
ha bits of constitutional life, arid removing by
the action of two mutually friendly Governments
the antipathies of either race.
Isabella at Pau.
A letter from Pan says that Queen Isabella has
been requested by the Emperor and Empress to
occupy the palace as long as she thinks proper.
It is now supposed that her Majesty and suite,
which is so numerous as to require accommoda
tion out - of - the - chateau,will remain in France for
the winter. The Queen spends hor mornings in
the chapel, rides and walks• during the day, and
receives some of the Spanish emigrants in the
evening.
Request from !the Spanish Junta.
The l'arls Siècle says that the Provisional Go
vernment at Madrid has demanded the French
Cabinet to oblige Queen Isabella to reside at least
100 miles from the frontier. We hear that the
Spanish elections will-not take place before Jan
uary, the Government requiring some time to
deal with the fanatical element.
Napoleon lLinifOs tOChance.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Chronicle
writes from Paris : ,
In July last Juan Prim arrived at Fontainebleau
and handed in a note to the Emperor soliciting
an audience. His - Majesty-referred"him to the
Adjutant on duty. Prim replied that his busi
ness was with the Emperor •direct, and with no
second person. He wrote a second note to the
Emperor, and received the same response. That
evening he took the train • for Berlin, addressing
a letter, to the Emperor, from Btrasbottrg,
braiding him In terms, that those Who read the

letter, say, was the severest ever received by Na
poleon.
Arriving at Berlin, Prim sought and obtained,
ono hour after his application, an interview with
Ihe King; left Berlin the „next day with one mil
lion of thalers, , with drafts on London for a
similar amount—gave at once his adhesion to
Serrano and Dulce, and we have the results. It
is said the Emperor Is biting his nails to the
quick, in his having been again out-generaled by
Bismarck, and his unceremonious reception of
Prim's demand for an Interview, whose policy
then was in harmony with French views of the
Peninsula.
Singular Story.
Many of the Continental, and more especially
German,papers will have it that a grand plot was
arrested by the Spanish explosion. - Queen Isa
bella was to garrison. Rome, !nut i hold Italy in
check while Napoleon crossed the Rhino. At the
same time, Atiatria was to have called Poland to
arms, and Turkey to have entered the Princi
palities. It was calculated that Prussia would
nave been beaten, that Russia, attacked to the
east and south, would have been unable to move,
that the South Germans would have declared the
treaties at an end, and the old state of affairs
would have been restored.
France and Spain—Evidences of a Con.
_
spiracy—oiscorery of Arms.
A Roman corresponderit of the Pall Mall Gazette
writes that Count Armand, the French Minister,
in an interview which ho has had with Cardinal
Intonelll, assured the Cardinal that the Spanish
revolution would exercise no influence on the
policy of the Emperor In regard to the Holy See,
the Interests of which Franco would never aban
don. Two days before, the same assurance was
eiven to the Pope by General Dumont, who came
to Rome for the purpose, and was closeted with
his Holiness for two hours.,f The Spanish revo
dh
lotion has excited the Roma people. and a de
monstration of sympathy • it was to have been
held in the Piazza d'Esp a, before the palace
of the Spanish Ambassador; but the police took
measures to prevent it.
Another discovery of arms has been made, this
tune in a furnished house in the Via Papale. Both
arms and ammunition have also been found at
San Carlo a CatenarL Suspicion was attracted
to a vessel which was tugged up the Tiber by a
steamer, and on examine the hold the police
found barrels of gunpowder concealed under the
coals. The city swarms with Italians, and, if ru
mor may be believed, as many more are in con
cealment ; and the authorities, by the precautions
[hey adopt, appear to be in expectation of a
rising. Such an attempt would not be very hope
ful while the French are at Civita Vecchia,and in
deed a great force would be required to contend
with the Pontifical garrison, though this has been
reduced by the despatch of troops to the frontier
to keep out the brigands who are flying before the
liqiiau army.
POLITICAL.
THE NEW REBELLION.
The Mots In Blew Orleans.
The following from the New Orleans ßepubtican
ives a correct account of the origin of the recent
ebel riots in that city:
On Saturday night, about half-past nine
o'clock, two colored clubs marched in procession
hrough a portion of Canal street, one of which ,
was the Ward Eleven Sheridan Club, which filed
into Canal from Carondelet street. • The other
colored club filed Into Canal street from St.
Charles street.
When the Sheridrrns were marching down Car
undelet street, the Workingmen's Tenth Ward
Democratic Club was on Poydras street,and each
dub good-naturedly and vociferously cheered as
the Sheridans were moving down.
The Republican clubs moved along the north
side of Canal street, and according to the report
fan eye-witness, as they were crossing Canal
street from Dauphine to they
on Canal beyond
Baronne, with the rear near the corner of Dan
phine, a white club was marching along the
south side of Canal toward Baronne tkitreet.
Both processions were then cheering. Sud
denly the white club charged upon the column
of the Republican procession and opened fire
upon the members, who ran to save their lives.
At the corner of Baronne street the dead bodies
of three colored men and one colored boy were
•ound. Another colored man, James Williams,
who resided at No. 336 Philip street, was picked
yap on Canal street, near the scene of conflict,and
taken to the main station in a dying condition,
having been severely wounded on the head, evi
dently by some blunt instrument. He could not
give any informatioh about who wounded him or
with what the injuries were inflicted. He was not
in the procession, but was standing or walking
along on the banquette.
We have this semi-official statement, made by
a party holding a position which renders it ne
cessary that his name should be withheld from the
public. He says :
Having been an eye-witness of the "riot" which
occurred on Canal street, near Baronne, on Sat
urday night, and having read the accounts of the
same as given in some of the journals of this
city, which are entirely different from what I ob
served of the affair, I wish to give my version :
The Workingmen's Club ran their horses into
the rear of the colored procession and threw it
into diserder, whereupon to save themselves
from being run down, the colored men struck at
the horses with their lamps to turn them aside,
and the firing then commenced from the Work
ingmen's Club, by whom a volley was poured
into the colored procession, which broke, and in
retiring returned a few straggling shots.
DEMOCRATIC BLOT IN NEWARK,
N. J.
Attack Upon Gov. Ward's House.
[From the Newark Advertiser of yesterday.]
The Democratic procession last night was the
worst and the meat violent of any that party
has had during the campaign. It ought to be
the last. What it lacked in brilliancy and num
bers, it made up in indecent violations of the
public peace. There were, however, probably
some two thousand or twenty-five hundred men
in line,marching with the usual irregularity. We
give a few of the incidents which made it dis
graceful.
Along the line of march the curb-stones were
lined with ladies, attracted by the display.
These were insulted, and in many instances rob
bed by men who left the line, and stole their
handkerchiefs or any other article of movable
property.
ATTACK UPON GOV. WARD'S HOUSE.
At about a quarter to 12, the procession re
turned, passing the residence of Gov. Ward.
Shortly before that, special officer ,Joss Gallardo
saw three men in conversation close by, and
heard one of them say : "As soon as the Jack
son Guards pass the Governor's house, you will
see what a h-1 of a row there will be." He
thereupon went in search of officer Chas. Miller,
who was on duty on that beat, and the two re
turned in time to render valuable assistance.
But in the meantime, the attack had commenced.
His .ardener, John McNeille, with three female
servants ; stood in the front yard waiting for the
procession. A tellow came up, swearing that he
was a Democrat end as good as any man, and
Struck at McNellie over the fence. MeN. took
away the club. The man went off, but soon
came back, and civilly naked for his "stbick."
McN. gave it to him on condition that he would
go away and be quiet. The man took it, and
Immediately struck MeNellie a severe blow neon
the arm. The latter knocked him dews.
Two other men then came up and joined bat
tle. McNeilie knocked them both down; but at
that moment the Jackson Guards made a rush
into the= lawn, - and overpowered McNeille; who
retreated to the PinZ7a, receiving two severe cuts
in the head, - and becoming almost or quite in
sensible. Two of the Jackson Guards rescued
him by throwing him over the rail of the piazza,
and carrying him oft over several adjoining prem
ises, ont of the way of the infuriated brutes with
whom theywere associated. These two sent for
a surgeon, and called this, morning to inquire
after his welfare. They deserve much credit.
The mob; 'which swarmed on the piazza,
thought McNeille was in the house; and with
shouts of "Knock in the, door! Barn the d—d
.hOttße!" llttleldied out the side lightet;: and buttered

nom&
the doors with the butts of their torches. Gov
ernor Ward came down then and found same
sober "Guards" protecting and driving the howl
ing mob back. In the meantime Policeman
Charles Miller and special Officer Jose Gaillard()
were busily at work with their clubs upon ttin
lawn and knocked down eight- or ten of the
ruffians who then fled, leaving the plazas MeNellio's blood and stained with
kerosene.
ANOTHER DEITIO °RATIO OUTRAGE.
Attempted Assassination of Christen
pher Pffillmlan•
Tho N. Y. Tribune to-day says:
On Thursday night the Hon. Christopher Pull
man, well known for hisloyalty and Republican
-IEIII throtiont.the State, organizild a.cqmpany of
reliable men for duty at the several places of
registry, yesterday and today. The men were
at their appointed posts yesterday facilitatieg- the
registration of legal voters,. and preventing us
much es passible the placing on the poll-ho lks
of the pawns of men who are in many cases tb'
unconscious.agents of designing scoundrels
for - the 'perPetration of deliberate fraud on
the day of election. To this duty,
obligatory - Upon'every citizen who deities to
preserve the purity of the ballot-box, and who
hopes to obtain the free and fall expression of
the popular voice, Mr. Pullman gave his personal
attention yesterday. His labors were most ef
fective, not alone in preventing' indiscriminate
registration, but In deterring men conscious of
their wrong from seeking to have their names
recorded. The "Ring" felt his power, and saw
even in the registration of Friday morning their
defeat on Tuesday next. The removal of Mr.
Pullman was determined on—by murder,
if necessary—and Tammany found willing
agents to attempt the accomplishment of the act.
Mr. Pullman had left one station to go to an
other about 11 A. M. yesterday, and had reached
the corner of Eighteenth street and Second avenue
when the , -assassins—four in number—hired by
cowardly but not less criminal creatures, steal
thily approached him from behind, and, without
warning, dealt him a murderous blow with a
bludgeon, which felled him to the sidewalk. He
was powerless for resistance, and while prostrate
the murderers beat him with their clubs and
kicktd him in every part with their heavy boots.
Some citizens witnessed the assault, but
were appalled by the bloody spectacle, and fear
ing, probably, that a like fate would befall
themselves it they lingered about the place, lied .
The assassins continued their stamping and
kicking and clubbing until they thought their
victim was dead or past recovery,and then quietly
walked off to one of their many haunts to re
ceive the reward for their performance of the
work for which they had been employed and es
caped arrest. Mr. Pullman was lifted from the
sidewalk and carried in an insensible condition
to the residence of Mr. Charles Irving, at No. 206
East Twenty-seventh street, where he now Iles,
not dead, but believed to be dying. There is just
a possibility that he may survive.
Ku.Kluxism in Kentuckf—a' Atonal 9 s
accord.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing
from Louisville, Ky., says:

way, armed and masked bands of men, known as
Regulators, Lynchmen and Ku-Klux, exercise
unlimited sway in nearly every part of the dis
trict, and in several parts of the Jackson Pur
chase the colored population has almost en
tirely disappeared, many of them having set
tied on• the northern bank of the Ohio,
because they have been threatened, whipped
and shot by these bands. It is not easy
to conceive of the misery thus inflicted on these
poor colored people, who, without means, have
been cultivating farms on shares, and now lose
either the fruits of their labor or their lives.
White "Union men have suffered also, even men
in the employ of the Government, in the Freed
men's Bureau, and officers of the United States
Cotirts and Internal Revenue Department have
been stoned, shot at, and have suffered every de
scription of insult, and in many instances, while
performing their duty, barely escaped with their
During the month of September five freedmen
were murdered in this State, or I should say that
number of murders came to my notice, and it is
highly probable that some occurred of which I
am not advised. On the night of Angnst 20 two
white men in Csarcord entered the house of a
negro family, and in cold blood, without provo
cation, murdered four of its inmates. These
murderers fortunately were brought before the
U. S. Court. On Sunday, Aug. 16, near Carlisle,
a colored boy, 12 years old, was deliberately shot
and killed by a white man. In this case the
civil authorities discharged the murderer on the
plea of "accidental shooth.g." In Frankferd on
the lat day of September a young colored woman
was maltreated in the most outrageous manner
by a policeman, her arm being broken in three
places. No provocation was given by the girl,
and the officer did not even claim that he was
acting in the discharge of his duty as policeman.
The Freedmen's Church at Germantown, Mason
county, was burned on September 5, by a party
t,f white men. It is believed that this was done
to prevent the colored people of that section from
holding a school there. In Pike county two dis
charged Union soldiers (white) were recently
taken from their homes and badly whipped by an
armed party of rebels styling themselves "K. K.
K." Many Unlon men of the county have been
warned to leave their homes, or they would be
killed. On September 3d, near Lebanon, Ken
tucky, a rape was committed upon a colored wo
man. An employe of the Bureau while In Cadiz,
on September 22d, was assaulted by six or eight
men, who beat him with their fists, kicked him,
ttc , and he was ordered to leave
the town in six honrs,or suffer the consequences,
and not return on pain of being hanged. This
man was there for the purpose of organizing a
reboot for freedmen. On the night of Oc
tober 12th, a band of "Ku-Klux" forcibly
entered the residence of two colored men near
Stanford, Ky., and ordered them out, threatening
to hang them. One of the colored men, in self
defence, killed one of the gang and wounded
two more, after which he escaped. A freedmen's
school-house at Rock Spring, Ky., was burned
by about fifty returned rebel soldiers about Aug.
8, 1868.
I might enumerate outrages of a milder type
—enough to flll a column, bat only speak of
some of the worst to let the people living In sec
tions where law and order prevail, know some
thing of life in Kentucky—for the rebel papers
in this State do not publish these matters.
The Delaware State Bends.
lFrom the Bmyrna (Da) Times, Oct. 28.1
Hon. N. B. Smithers, in his able speech in this
town on Saturday night, contrasted the Govern
ment bonds with the State bonds. The State is
sued bonds to the amount of $1,100,000 to keep
from filling up the army. These bonds,
shortly after they were issued, were offered
for sale in Wilmington, but not a pur
chaser came forward to take them—not
even a Democrat—because they were__ not ex,
empted . -- frout. halation and contained- - no
dividend warrantg. In order to get them taken,
the State Treasurer, upon his own responsibility,
assured those desiring to invest that they would
be exempt from tax, and the Legislature had to
make the Treasurer's declaration good, and other
bonds, with coupons attached, had to be printed
before the Democrats would take them at - aIL
And now they are selling considerably below par,
while the Government bonds are selling consid
erably above par, notwithstanding the interest
upon them is taxed as income by the Govern
ment.
The State bonds - are held almost entirely by
Democrats, who would be horror-stricken at the
idea of <tho State .breaking its faith by taxing
them, and talk or repudiating them would cause
general disaster.,

2. We have already incurred so vast a debt that
all the property of , the country is virtually con
tiecaled thereby.
3. Yet a little will°, and no farm or building
will have any value; the taxes necessarily lowed

4. The credit of the Southern Confederacy in
Europe is decidedly better than that of the
Union, and money, can be borrowed thereon at
more favorable rates than on that of our Govern

[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening BtzlietinJ
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 1868.—The exodus from
this latitude of Department clerks and others, en
titled to vote in " thtiStates," is unparalleled.
Every day this week the "through trains" have
been crowded with travelers going North, till we
almost look like " a deserted village." There
will be an enormous vote polled for Grant by par_
ties from this city, because many clerks
in the Departments who did not
go home to vote in October,
but preferred to wait and see how the elections
would go, have now come to the conclusion that
there is no doubt about it, and will, in almost
t very case, cast their votes for Grant. The Octo
ber elections settled that point. Had the Demo
crats triumphed in Ohlo, Pennsylvania and Indi
una, I imagine a considerable number of those
who have elate decided to vote for Grant, would
have been strongly convinced, under these
different circumstances, that Seymour was
the best man for the country. How
, ver, we must let that pass and receive all
the "repentant sinners" who choose to join na,
for one of their votes counts as much as that of
`any other man." The local clubs here are just
Low terribly exereisesi on this very question.
The stampede from the Democratic clubs of their
dissatirfled members, is only equalled by the first
Bull Run campaign. Many of these "converted .
Democrats" have joined Republican clubs, and
meet their former Democratic friends on the
streets and "poke fun" at 'them about SO
mour on the stump. Some of the
red-hot, Brick Pomeroy style of Democrats were
disgusted at this, and sought to have the "rene
gades" expelled from their organizations, but
ethers, more discreet, said—" Don't do it. Wait
awhile; keep their names on our rolls, and when
one of them tries to get an office from the Repub.
:leans then let us claim him as a Democrat, and
exhibit our rolls as proof, to show that he is a
member still." This last idea prevailed,
and the singular spectacle is presented of
many men belonging to Ward clubs
of both parties. The Republicans, in some
of their local meetings, rather discburageff the
Pntrance of these new converts into their organi
zations. and wanted to keep them out, but the
more shrewd members said: "Never mind; take
in all you can get; remember that oar city elec
tion last Jane was very close, and we came near
losing it. Let us gain all the etrength we can,
and weaken the other party as much as possible.
We have no vote for President, and can afford to
be magnanimous."
This advice has generally resulted in removing
the objections of the more excitable, and the
new corners are received on probation, to give
proof of conversion and repentance before being
fully busted. This la a fair sample of local
politics here.
PREPARING FOR ASSASSINATION.
For some time past advertisements have ap
peared in the Baltimore and Washington papers,
from parties desiring to purchase revolvers and
lilies, in large quantities, which looks
very suspicious, and bodes no good.
The Baltimore Sun of to-day, in Its "want' col
umn, contains the following notices, which are
suggestive. I give them, without the names of
the parties to whom, application- must be ad

HAVANA, Oct. 20, 1868.—8 y the arrival at this
port, on the morning of the 19th, of the French
steamer Louisan°, we have dates from the capi
tal to the 10th and Vera Cruz to the 15th. The
Louisane encountered a violent storm and arrived
forty-eight hours behind her time. The relations
between the Government and the Legislature of
the State of Mexico are not of the most
cordial character. An opposition has been
formed against Arevale, the Secretary, and
charges have been preferred which are awaiting
the action of the Grand,Jury. El Progreso, of
Vera Cruz, in its issue .of the 15th inst., says:
"Jose Martinez de la CiM6ha, Governor of the
State of Mexico, has temporarily retired from
that office in consequence of illness, and Antonio
Timbroso, President of the Superior Court, is ex
ercising the 'unctions until Congress shall ap
point a successor."
The new Governor of San Luis Potosi, instead
of exercising his constitutional right In the ap
pointment of political chiefs of the districts, has
called on the A yuntamientos to make nomina
tions therefor, an act which has been well re
ceived by the people. He has also requested the
Legislature to do away with certain government
officers of no practical utility. The mines of
Catorces and other places are showing the good
effects of protection a and enforcement ofithe laws,
and commerce is reviving. General Escobedo
has gone to Tampico, doubtless with a view of
settling the disturbances in Tamanlipes.
Cortina, it is said, will soon return to Meta
tnoras when he will take active part upon the
one side or the other, in any disturbances which
may occur there. The Indians are active In Chi
huahua, and the inhabitants were organizing to
put a stop to their depredations. The authori
ties of the State of Sonora have petitioned the
general Government for the establishment of
military colonies on the frontier to repress the
periodical incursions of the Indians, who have
been very active of late, killing miners and driv
ing off stock. Robberies are reported in Puebla,
Michoacan, Guerreo, San Luis Potosi, Sonora
and Nueva Leon.
