Seme of the newspapers have made it a point to see in evey step taken to pro­ tect our Rio Grande frontier a stud­ ied attempt to provoke a war with Mexico. The long suffering forbear­ ance of our government ,,towards that unfortunate republic has seemed to the -people of Texas like a surrender of them and their country to th« desol­ ation of a one-sided border war. They have been for many years the victims of predatory and hostile inclusions from Mexico which they were riot al­ lowed to check in th«i only practicable way, that is by reprisals, or by pursu­ ing and punishing the retreating marauders upon Mexican soil. Yet so soon as our government began to take measures to put an end to this one-sided war and pillage, the petty provincialism ®f the East began to conjure up visions of annexation designs and filibustering schemes instigated bj* rings of specula­ tors. The last news from the Rio' Grande shows which side i« the aggressive one. After ten years of continuous riding upon our soil by armed bands of Mexi­ cans, with no retaliatory incursions from our side to protect our people from this nlurder and robbery, onr troops have crossed the boundery two or three times on the trail of the ma­ rauding bandits, and this lias thrown the whole Mexican populance into the hottest, stage of a war fever, farmed expeditions invade our towns and rescue Mexicans bandit? caught in the act of muidering and robbing on Texas soil. An army of Mexican fili^ busters has captured l£l Pas® county and at last accounts was tlieatening the inhabitants with pillage and slau­ ghter. The Mexican government con­ fesses its inability to control its border population. The, Mexican army re­ fuses to act against them, and Mexican generals resign rather than obey or­ ders to that effect. To pillage Texas is one of those patriotic duties and in­ alienable rights of the Greasers with which no Mexican, government dure interfere. ' The longer t^is border troubles is trifled witli the more outrageous it will become, and the more difficult it There is" one oh- IOIIHI NOT Ix'siratE * to adopt. N o t i f y Mexico t;;at the next irruption will Le followed by the. military, occupation of her border States by United States troops; that we will hold the same un­ til her government shows both the dis­ position and the ability to suppress the tendency of her people to raid upon our territovv; that we don't want any of her territory, bur that we are de­ termined to have the peaceful use of our own. An army of volunteers suf­ ficient to carry'Out' this programme can be raised and equipped iu Texas in six weeks. The mere declaration of such a purpose on our part might have the desired effect ; aud,if we don't resort to some such vigorous course, it is manifestly only reasonable and right that. Ave should suspend all diplomatic relation With Mexico and leave the State of Texas free to protect herself by retaliatory measures. Give -her rough riders carte blanchc to teach the Mexicans that riding over the border is no longer a one-sided business, and they will soon make the Greasers sick of it. Force or effective retaliation fumn our side is the only restraint that can be brought to bear upon that chaotic population. CONFKKKNCK A.'POINTMKNTS.

Robt. lugersoll, the folAw* i ng ftert i nent re marks: "The laboring people should unite ancl protect themselves against all idler#. You can divine mankind inte two classes--the laborers and the idlers, the supporters and. supported, and honest, and dishonest. Every man is dishonest who lives upon the unpaid laber of others, no matter whether he occupies a throne or lives in a poor- liou^fc. All laborers should have equal rights before the world and before the lawv And I want every farmer r© con- si del* every man who labors,either with hand or brain, as his brother. Unti* genins and labor formed a partnership thcj^was no such tiling as prosperity amchig men. Everv reaper and mower, eve£y agricultual implement, has ele- vatla the work of the farmer, and his vocation grows grander with every in- vcmlott. In the olden time the agri- culyrist was ignorant. He knew noth­ ing'of machinery. He was the slave of fuperstition. Through machinery, thntuigh the science of agriculture, the farmer has been elevated, lie should ncU|forget the debt he owes to the ma- chatiic. He should remember that all l-rfers belong to the same great /'ani- i'lte re ||ihere is LACW OF CONFIDENCE. is not a scarcity of money. a scarcity of business.-- this scarcity springs from lack of tSenoe in one other? So many dents of Saving Banks,even those &»giiig to the Young Men's Chris- Association run of with the funds ; i*ny railroads and insurance com" piVfeh^ are in the hands of Receivers ; is so much of bankruptcy onevcry hali^ that all property is held in the ufg-t»us clutch of fear. Slowly and suleiiMvo are coming back to honest ,4,4.1 s in business. Confidence will rdj|«rtt, and then enterprise will unlock and money will again circulate^ re; the dollars will leave their phice and every one will be *»g investment.

S i lve r was demon­ etized by frrrud and unblushing ras­ cality. It w»}s an imposition upon every honest debtor in the United States. It assassinated labor. The man who knowingly voted for the de- monetization of silver never should be voted for again by a citizen of Ill­ inois, We should have sense enough to vote-only for those men who will guard and protect the best interests of our State. We should know better than to vote, for men who will deliber­ ately vote a tariff' cf $3 a thousand upon Canada lumber, when every man iu Illinois is a purchaser of lumber.-- We should demand of our legislators cheap lumber for Illinois. We should protect our own own interests; we should take care of ourselves." EAKLY RISING. OoL Robert Ingersoll. in a recent speech, delivered at the <?eijtral Illinois Fairs. Said: "It is not ne­ cessary in this age of the world for the farmer to rise in the middle of the night and begin his work. This get­ ting up so early in the morning is a relic of barbarism. It has made hun­ dreds of you men. curse the business.-- There is 110 need ot getting up at 3 or4 o'oclock in winter morning. The far­ mer who persists in doing in and per­ sists in dragging his wife and children from their beds ought to be visited by a missionary; It is time enough to rise after the sun has set the example. For what purpose do you get up? To feed the cattle ? Why net faed them more the night before? It is a waste of lift, In the old times they used to get up about 3 o'clock in the morning and go to work long before the sun has risen,"with healing upon his wings;" and as a just punishment they all had the ague, and they ought to have it now. The u^atTWli^caiin^t get a living upon Illinois soil withouN^sing before daylight ought to starve. Eight hours a ilav is eiu ugh tor a farmer to work' except in harvest time."' "DE^n HKAIH" That truth Is stranger than flctfen may-be amply demonstrated by the fact that editors are reviled with the significant epithet "dead heads." Fic­ tion has ever shouldered such reproach­ ful stigmas on these inoffensive beings, who labor incessantly for the informa­ tion of the public. In her elaborate imagination of the editor she has con- ceivcd him leasurely reclining in a big arm chair, surrounded with his half play labors. She unfolds a marvelous tale of his joys and courtesies shown by tveil the most fastidious. It is true that he is admitted free, to public and sometimes private entertainments, hut here is jnst where the strangeness of the truth comes in, and its reality made more apparent. It Is the public and not the editor who is the "dead head" which, generally speaking, is erroneously believed to be contrary For his admission "to these public en­ tertainments he is bound by courtesy, to gratuitously give seme kind of no­ tice through the columns of his journal. An ordinary notice, such as is given the average show visiting our city, would cost the one whom it benefits from three to ten times the price of admis­ sion. The average civilian, when wronged, seeks the newspaper tli<j first thing lie does. He is decidedly op­ posed to pay anything for their servi­ ces to him, but he is terribly indignant if their penis not at once zealously used in his defepse. He is unwilling to sign an article of vindication, but infi­ nitely prefers to hav»» the paper accrim inate itself in his behalf and then be remunerated with the consoling infor­ mation that he 4,will make it all right with you." This, generally speaking, means that he will , perhaps, buy one copy of your"naper containing the item relative to himself. Often the columns ofleading newspapers are selfishly,sub­ jected to the defense of that which they should expose, and why, unless it- is through the flattering promises of some injured scion who thus seeks a decisive and Vpiick defense with the hope of having it done for nothing but delusive promises? Look at the matter iu a true light, and strange as it may seem, you will find that the editor, ©f all persons pays by tar the highest jfaifrtr rtia mosiiPiUv horn of pi^'e for eyervthing he receives,-- io * .

By the untimely exhaustion of one of the birds and its consequent fall into the Seine, whence it was res­ cued. a very scheme was unfolded. It seems thai a single smuggler employed eighty of the little messengers to transport th'* fragrant weed across the border without paying the government revenues. Each bird carried from a third to a halfounce of tobacco, and in this way the flock was rapidly enrich­ ing the owner and swindling the state treasury out of thousands of dollars. gja^The war of the insurgent pan triors of the Island of Cuba against the mother power of Spain, which has beeu Waged, off and on, for a period of over ten years, promises at last to be near its end. Recent, reports, which seein based upon probability, announce both the willingness of the insurgents to come to a settlement and the desire of the Spanish government to grant hon­ orable and easy terms to the patriots. I t would certainly be a relief to the civilized world should an amicable agreement be reached that would step the bloodshed, the waste of life by dis­ ease an:! the desolating horrors of war on that once prosperous island. A WORD TO YOUNG MKN. Young,men out of business are fre­ quently sadly hampered by pride. Manj' young ,men who go west take more pride thau%ioney,and bring back all the.pride, and no money at all. A young man "works for his board," 110 matter what honest work lie does, has no reason for shame. A young man who eats the bread of idlenesss, ne matter how much money he has, is disgraced. Young men starting in life ought lo aim, first of all to find a place where they can earn their bread and butter, with hoe, ax, spade, wheel­ barrow, currycomb, blacking brush--110 matter how.

The young man who pockets his pride, and carries an upper lip as stiff as a cast iron doorscraper, need not starve, and stands a good chance to become rich. Detectives Playing Tramp. The tramps will be pleased to learn that the State has detective officers traveling among thtm to find out their ways, as the best way of learning how to deal with the tramp problem. The men dress and live like the rest of the fraternity, make 110 attempt to obstruct or arrest them in any crime, and even join with them in their petty thefts.-- Tneir observations thus far convince thern that the great body of tramps are professional thieves. Occasionally one travels by himself, but they generally form into gangs for a few days or lon­ ger under the directions of a chief, and have their duties assigned them', who are to beg to-day, and who to-morrow* and what places are to be broken into. It is suspectcd the tramps have a gen­ eral headquarter^ for stolen property among the hills in the western part of the State.--Springfield Republican. In a Belgian village last month a young butcher died af'era short illness. During his entire illnnss, his pet bulldog remained at the foot of the bed. refusing all food; and when his master was buried, it was with great difficulty that the dog could be induced to leave the cemetery. A few days later the gravedigger was astonished to perceive a large hole in the young butcher's grave, which he recollected to have entirely filled np. On approach­ ing he found the faithful animal curled up in the hole. Upon being taken home, the dog obstinately refused to eat, and died of starvation. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WASlttXOToJw D. C.. Oct., 15th, 1871 And BOW the telegraph tells tis that there is hardly a hope of Sen&tmr Morton's recovery. His digestive W* gans are partially paralized, as well as his body and there is a strong proba­ bility of his dying of slow starvation. W«ll, we who are not his intimate friends or relatives can say.that it may be better so. He is in his political glery now and there js no doubt hot his end will come, when it does corae* from the disease from which he is now prostrate. It is a hereditary taint, as. sure and almost as dreadful, in some ways, as the leprosy itself. His mother alld his grandmother died of it, a? did ateo two of his aunts, ar.d he has a, brother who is bedridden from, the same malady. Everything is in readiness at the Capitol far the 45th Congress which . convenes there on Monday next. For the first time in 10 or 15 years the Su­ preme Court room has been treated te a new carpet and it looks fresh and In­ viting. The House of Representatives is resplendent in bran new robes of green and gold, that is if one can call light and bright wood colors gohfc*** The desks are of oak with green cov-. erings, corresponding admirably witft the carpet. Mr. Clark, the Capitol architect, safi that many of the Government build­ ing are iu as much danger from fire as the Patent Offlce was, because of the. practice prevailing in most of them,of storing vast quantities of old paper* close under the roof. Even if the buildings themselves were entirely fire-proof, such quantities of paper which are always liable to burn, would create such a heat, in case of fire, as to bend and render useless the Iron gird­ ers of the roof and its metal covering. «• Ameng the literary celebraties to be in Washington this winter are Mrs Harriett Prescott Spofford and Miss Abagail Dodge, (Gail Hamilton.) The temporary roof of the Patent • Office is at last finished. It is of beards covered with a thick felting. The rain of last week did a good deal of damage to valuable papers and furniture and has rendered some of the rooms very damp and cold, so much so that several ff the lady clerks are now suffering Jrorn pore thrust*, ehtttr &e. The city will be thronged with office-seekers again this winter.-- Squads of them are already beginning to arrive. Each new officer has scores ot friends who are all hopeful. It Is thought the struggle for clerical ap­ pointments will be more than usually general. The hard times drive many to try lor Government positions who ought to knew better and who do know but other things failing. Uncle Satti is applied to as a last resort. There is great rejoicing here over the virtual end of the Indian war. The telegram announcing Gen. Miles yic* tory over Chief Joseph was joyfully re­ ceived by the Secretary of War, who proceeded at once to the White House to show it to the President and sent a copy of it to Secretary Sciiurz. The contest for the Speakership of the next House of Representatives may be said to have fairly b.k'u:i some day a ago. A large number of Congressmen arrived Wednesday and Thursday from the Southern and Western States, and every hotel lobby and street corner has been thronged ever since. The friends of the rival candidates .are all sanguine of success for their several leaders.-- Indications are that Randall will come off victorious, though nothing really certain can be said. He figures his strength as higli as 82 votes, wNereas 75 will nominate him. Ili3 friends count on a vote of 91 for him 011 tho Art ballott. His principal strengh is iu the South aud he claims 67 in that sec­ tion alone. President Hayes declines to express himself on the subject of the result of the Ohio election, although the infer­ ence from what he does say is that his hopes for a Republican victory were not very ardent. Cabinet members at­ tribute the reduction of the Republi­ can vote to the numerous side issues which were brought into the campaign rather than to the influence ot the Southern policy. The equinoctial storm of last weeK drove away all vestige of summer weather, although there are the usual Indian summer daj's before us Jey Tho old market women begin to bring autumn leaves and spirit ferns into town, the chestnuts are ripe and all things tell us tha t sunnner ended.
