MIAII AN III 1,1,1.1:. For some time past the air has been full of rumors of trouble on the Uio Grande and an avoidance of war with Mexico seemed impossible. It now transpires, howei er, tliat the whole affair was a local row about some salt lakes or ponds between Mexican-United States citizens and a party of land Speculators. So the chances for a war with Mexico are rapidly fading away. Mexican cattle thieves have for a long time depredated ui«,n the Texas' border and were permitted if not encouraged do *0 by Gen. Grant throughout his whole administration, but to plunge the country Into a war to please a few bor «ler ruffians.for for the purpose of dor ing any breech between our fraudulent President and his party would lie a wrong that we do not believe will be sanel lonwd by the cooler judgment of Congress. The chances for war with Mexico now look dim, and w« are of opinion will Mow over without trouble. jlllT tXT Ut r.STIOW.

During tho dosing months of Prcsi dent Grant's Administration the ques tion of obtaining thU inoiHTtv was seri Crttoi. anJ matter took definite form in a retort - <*• "» w Lt*y of the Treasury then in office. It xn its eMimated that the value of this property would reach from f10,000,000 to *15.000:000, fltul it was believed that the United States government could recover it. On account of theajqwoaeh ing change of administration the mat ter was all* wed to remain tn statu The present Administration has con sidcrcd what te t<«»t to be done in the matter, and it is understood that eon tracts will be entered into with certain lawyers to collect the mom-*. '.Hat 1* in banks and the pro|*rty be!o^m*t<. Confederacy. It is understacd that un der the terms of the impos'd c«tra*s the lawyer# will be allowed 50 per cent of the amount obtained. , So far, so good, but there is a hitch In the proceedings to get the f12,OMM)00 Is-Ionging to the late Confederate gov emment out of the valid® of the Bank of England and transfer the funds to the United States treasury. England seems very willing to deliver up the money belong to late Southern Confed eracy, but insists that if the United States administers on the estate of the deceased (knif.sleracy, she must be paid the large claims due her citizens from the deceased. We ran, mt say how the matter will end, lmt sii|>pose the at tempt will tie made to n cove.r the money, and that some lawyer of influence will get a fat job. MR. STEPHENS ON SILVER. Some Original Views from the Georgia Statesman. I Washington Curs, of the Chicago Tribune.] One of the most difficult men to an pmach but one of the ph-asantes, after you got at him, i» the Hon. Alexander u. Stephens. He has been misrepresent ed, lied about, and bedeviled by newspa per correspondents Until he has lost faith in the «-raft, and your representative thinks kuiuan lie ne was was mort more than ui.m luekv 1UCK> to 10 secure secure the silver and resumption views of the gentleman from Georgia.” “In how far do you agree, All • Stephens, with the message of the Presi¬ dent, in its recommendation that the national debt be paid in gold and not in silver ?” i asked him to-day. “I do not understand the President exactly so to recommend. He only recommends that the public debt and in terest sltnll not la-1> 11 i in any Coinage of h s. co,umcrnal value than the present M| ,-oinmcrcial vahleToCitolfl I ,| ( . u t to simply recommend that the IMtl , lic f „ ith allJ rrHlt lK5 nmi ntained, rtr !“ '"A' .....rv^ , .Z uiTwbteh 0 .....ir.5 '«m wet in, ^ yo „ coll8i<lor that tlle )x>11 dholder W #U l.« ..»j.»Ujr by it Im is coni-* peUed lo take a silver instead of a gold dollar “Not at all, provided the silver dollar i» of the same commercial value us tlie gold dollar.” '‘Do you think a congress of nations nw .c«8ary to regulate tho ratio between , o]( , , uu j 8i j vc ,. v . f.„, such ratio be .............. ... ^ m, ut w ithout reference to any of the other Powers V” “I do not think such a congress abso lately necessary. It would, however, doubtless, if composed of the light class of scientists, greatly facilitate tlie desir¬ ed result. The basis of all such regula¬ tions should be the metrical and decimal *>**«» . of „ w©l , B Ut» and , measures, , iuclud- . , , the coinage. In this way an npprox imation to the true rati' between gold ami silver can lie reaclietl near enough, I think, for all practical international commercial intercourse Should such a general svstem be adopted, * it would lie • of incalculable advantage to all civilized nations. Under it the coinage of each country would circulate as readily in every other country at in its own.’* “It is claimed by many that Uio re monetization of silver will bring all the sur jq U!i silver of tlie world here, and m#k America merely a market; that thegehlwepav * i j for It will ,,t return. that in a short time we will be drowned in a stiver sea. Do you think _ that will lie the effect V” -I do not think it will. I shall not look for any such flood. I never expect to see this country- drowned in siicli a romantic sea. , r lhe i „ object . . . of the vti.lot ^ re m0 netizat ' ion of silver , wh.ih d T 4rtV 0f, is not to brinff into v trculation a coin of value than gold, and thus drive out the gold, but it into establish a double st umlaut of equal value.

Our actual circulation, in point of faH. fed**^i.„, backs, and National WwAmiOO, JianlWmteH, prob ably does not exceml while we have a nominal cufii^r of about 8730,000,000.
