City op Mexico, Juno 29.—Two col

the government ofiiciafa in regard to
procuring land for a large colony of
colored cotton raisers from Texas.
Ellis, ono of tho commfasioncrs, a
bright, well-educated man, states that
he had an appointment with Secretary
Pochcoo, and would fully explain the
project to him.
TEN THOUSAND NEGROES READY TO MOVJL
He further said that if sat fa factory ar
rangements could bo made with the gov
ernment for land, a colony of at

Tlio death of Simon Cameron makes tlio
reflection of hfa son, James Donald
Caincron, to tlio United States Senate in
1$91 uncertain, if not doubtful. Person
ally Senator Cameron lias very little in
fluence in Pennsylvania politics. He
lias tdjuply represented hfa rather. Now
that his father is dead and Quay, as boss
of Pennsylvania, fa running the machine,
Cameron may have great difficulty in
securing a fourth teem in tho Senate.
Quay is for liim now but ho may bo com
pelled to abandon him before 1801,Hnd
Quay always looks out for Quay first of
