With four armed snldlera croasing a bridge
over a small dry creek into the United Stales.
Ho Immediately called on Henry Llttlepage
and Dr. Purdy to go with him and aee why an
armed party ihonld enter tho United States.
On arriving in front of tho American enstom
ltona* tho lieutenant of tho Mexican
troop* stepped in front of Llttlepage
and, covering him with n revolver,
demanded tho reloaio of a Mexican ’ namod
Mine an, whom thoy suppoaod tho United States
authorities won bolding as a prisoner. Little-
i-c; -

The American then started for tho main
Itreotof tho torn. Tho nontenant called on
porno other Mexican soldiers concealed In the
dry bod of tho creek to relearn him. TI
Immediately confronted the Americans, i
one of them covered Littlepue with his ride
and demanded the release or the nontenant.
Firing thrn became general between tha three
officers and tho Mexican aoldicn, tho Mexlaana
retreating across th* international lias into
Mexico, tha American officers following and
hhooting until their weapons were empty. By
this time tho American population was aroused
and every man who could procure
Uoncd on tho railroad platform in front of tho
Ueilcan custom houso.
News was brought that one tho Mexican
poldlon was mortally Injured. It la stated
that the causa of armed men being sent lnte

fact that no republican has been returned as a

which republican votes are mainlvcolored,ex

publican strength was Mifliclent to secure some
thing like a fair election. In a word, the general
statement may Ikj made that tho democrats of the
south, have, hy fraud and violence, sum
pressed tho colored vote, when ucceasary to
give them power, and that tho only
districts held by republicans are those in which
the white republican strength is sufficient to so-
curevomcthing like a fair election. It follows,
therefore, that the only reasonable hope that re
publicans have of breaking the solid south In the
immediate futuio is in a section where we now
have considerable white republican strength, and
whero there In a resm>hable hope that, with proper
effort, we may add to that strength from the white
voteis. Stretching from I’cim.-ylvania and Ohio

BILLS WHICH FAILED.
The general deficiency bill failed to get
through, hut no great inconvenience will be
occasioned thereby, as it carried a multitude of
small items and few really important appro
priations. The most important act which
failed was the river abd harbor bill. It was
laid beforo the president yesterday. He did
not veto it, bnt withhold his signature. This
was tbc most certain way to kill the bill, be
cause it is probable that it would have passed
over a voto. Considerable criticism
has been passed upon this method
of defeating an appropriation bill.
Tho president said the bill contained some
provisions which did not jnect his approval,
and that he thought he should devote all the re
maining timetotbh consideration of other bills
before him instead of to tho preparation of a
veto messsgo. Borne of the work now in pro
gress on rivers and harbors will suffer seri
ously by reason of the delay conseqnent
of this bill. The agricnl-

but tho senate so amended that when it was
sent bark to the house it wu too late to con
cur or to reach a compromise.
At & o'clock this morning, the effects of the
sixteen hours' session wero visible in the ap
pearance of the hall of the house itself and In
tbo members of that body. The floor wu
strewn with scraps of paper and remnants of
documents and reports; the atmosphere wu
very impure and oppressive and wu well im
pregnated with tobacco smoke, notwithstand
ing the repeated appeals of tho speaker to
members reun eating them to observe the rule,
which prohibits smoking on the floor.
A few minutes after 5 o'clock Mr. Blonnt an
nounced the conference committee on tho post-
office appropriation bill had reached an agree
ment by a recession of the senate conferees
from the subsidy amendment.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, raised a question of
consideration and tho houso procoeded to* kill

After quite a heated controversy botween
Mr. Townshend, of Hlfnois, and Mr. Cabell, of
Virginia, the former severely criticising the
house conforeee for yielding, as ho s&fd, to the
dictation of the senate, while the latter vigor

senatorial clerk amendment*
Mr. Reed, of Maine, (Mr. Hatch, of Missouri,
being In the chair) offered the following reso
lution, which wu adopted unanimously by a
standing vote:
Resolved. That tho thanks of this house are
hereby tendered to Hon. John G. Carlisle, speaker,
d-puty recorder, with the foil powers o' there-
colder, and m case of a vacancy in the office of re-
colder by death, resignation or other csoso. the
deputy recorder shall act until a recorder shall be
duly appointed and qualified.
The president will not appoint another re
corder ot deeds, and thus Trotter will have
this Hat office in spite of the opposition ot the
republican senators.
You ought to hear the negroes in Washing
ton talk on this subject. Their eyes have been
opened by the action of the republican senate
in the cases of Matthews and Trotter, aud a
spirit of political independence his arisen
among them which thefr leaders ray will ex
tend among the colored people throughout tho
country.
Tho senate this morning, to the surprise of
almost everybody, confirmed Jamos Trotter
as recorder of deeds in Wuhinj
.Senator Hoar, who led tho fighi
Matthews, endeavored to reinstate himself in
the favor of the colored rase by moving the
con fl rm ation of Trotter. All tho other repub
licans, except Senators Ingalls, Palmer and
Babin, wheeled into line, and Trotter was com
firmed by a vote of 31 to 11. The republican
senate hu never been compelled to eat a big
ger or more unsavory dish of crow.

General Jackson’s Resignation.
Washington, February 23,—Tho presiding
officer presented to the senate a message from
the president, in response to a resolution In
reference to the selzuro and sale of the Ameri
can schooner Rebecca, at Tampico, and tho
resignation of the lato minister to Moxtci
compatible with the publlo interest to commu
nicate tho correspondence in either case at
present;
Air. Brown submitted remarks on the subject
of the message. He stated tho facts lu connec
tion with the seizure of the Rebecca lu 1834.
The claim for indemnity had dragged its slow
and vigorous demand for restitution, and that
was the view taken of the subject by tho late
Minister Jackson. He intimated thtt that had
been one of the causes of Jackson's resignation.
Mr. Jackson believed that Americtn citizens
had been seized and imprlsonod and shameful
ly robbed of their property in a* Mexican port,
aud that the robbery had been committed with
the aid and pretended authority of the locxl
Mexican court.

The following suggestion of the New York
World of today expresses the wishes of many
poisons in Washington:
It hu been suggested to tho president by s sum
her of prominent democrats that It would be a good
thing If hs would appoint Samuel J. Randall secre
tary of the treasury. The gentlemen malting theso
suggestions are revenue reformers. They faaresatd
to Mr. Cleveland that tho sdmlnlstratlon would be
terribly handicappedjf something U not dons to
secure a reduction offfnzcs. They have argued to
tho president that the revenue reformer, will never
he able to accomplish anything u long u Mr. Ran
dall Is In the house. They say, therefore, thtt the
president would make s muter stroke by taking
Mr. Randall hrto his cabinet. I(r. Randall's hon
esty and Integrity are unquestioned. His famil
iarity with public affairs, particularly everything
relating to expenditure, Is exceeded by no man In
public life. Ills record for economy, too, would
make him a very strongman tnthetrcuury. Better
than nil that, they say, he Is a sterling democrat, a
good politician and a man of extraordinary force
and decision or character, and these elements are
greatly needed In the cabluet.
