Till-. 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.

During tho dosing months of Prcsi

- <*• "» 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

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

peUed lo take a silver instead of a gold
dollar
“Not at all, provided the silver dollar

gold dollar.”
'‘Do you think a congress of nations

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. Tins, , the
president has well said, is a complex
question, requiring scientific skill to aid
in determining the relative ouantitv L of
*««» u- >»

met;vis in tb€ir coinmou use and com

“I do not; at least no more than any
other act of Congress. If the country is

law can effect resumption. I think a
great deaf more importance is attached
