NOTES AND OPINIONS.
St. Louis Republican: The situation
between Mr, Hayes and the Republican
senatorial caucus ia a truce. The cau-
cus sent a deputation to tell him that his
policy was wrong, unprecedented, and
if persisted in would injure the Re-
publican party. Mr. Hayes listened
patiently and courteously to all this,
and replied that his policy was right,
and if it was injuring '.he Republican
party he couldn't help it—and there
the matter rests. Mr. Hayea did not
yield to the caucus, nor did the caucus
yield to Mr. Hayes. It was a case of
mutual stubbornness. The deputation
retired, and have been ever since trying
to find out what to do next.
Liuisvillo Courier-Journal: Three
Democratic Senators are reported to be
meditating a coalition with Roscoe
Conkling to defeat the President's New
York nominations. To say that this is
shameful meaeerly expresses the gravity
of such an offense against decency and
iustice. We hope the report is not true.
f it is, the names of these Senators will
be covered with disgrace. An alliance
with the incarnated essence of Grant's
debauchery and injustice is something
which ne Democrats will tolerate in par-
ties who are supposed to represent them
in the Senate.
National Republican: The Baltimore
Giieette, after beslaving the President
with the most fulsome and hypocritical
adulation because of his Southern pol-
icy, which has reinstated the Democ-
racy in power in the Southern States,
turns and stings him in a most malig-
nant manner by reminding him that he
can not undo his work if he would, and
adding to its hypocricy the insult:
" Let it stand a fair monument to the
time when public sentiment compelled
even an usurper to reverence its decrees
and carry out the constitution." This
treatment is uncivil and cruel, to say
the least, but by associating with Dem-
ocrats with a familiarity that breeds
contempt, the President has exposed
himself to all the habits and customs of
that delectable party.
Washington Post: The Pott has in-
formation which it considers trust-
worthy, to the effect that the relations
bstween the United States and Mexico
are in a more delicate state than hereto-
f< rj. The rccent ac'.ion of the Mexican
government, it seems, has not been dis-
tinguished by good faith or frankness.
The forces under command of Genersl
Trevino were largely reinforced, and
our government was given to under-
stand that this step was taken with a
view to cooperation with the troops on
our side of the Rio Grande in preserv
ing order on the frontier. But no soon-
er were the Mexican forces fairly in
position than a policv of quasi hostility
was adopted and effective steps taken
by the Mexican commander to paralyze
the efforts of Gen. Ord and to neutral-
ize the instructions given to that officer
last spring. Meanwhile the partisans
of Lerdo are embracing the oppor-
tunity to raise the standard of re-
volt, and the impression prevails
at the Mexican capital that this
movement is incited or abetted
by the authorities at Washington. A
month ogo there was a good prospect
of an amicable adjustment to eventuate
>n a new treaty. But at this writing
the outlook on our Southwestern fron-
tier is decidedly the reverse of peace-
ful. At all events steps arc taken to
organize a brigade each of cavalry and
infantry on the Rio Grande'immedi-
ately. This looks very much like a
repetition of the history of 1845. An
army of observation is so easily trans-
formed into one of occupation that we
may find ourselves at war with Mexico
before we know it. so to speak. Mean-
while Senor Z»macona, Envoy Extraor
dinary of the Diaz government, is cool-
ing his heels in the rotunda of the Eb
bitt House, ana Secretary Evarts is
preparing a sentence, which will re-
quire forty-five minutes in delivery,
wherewith to impress upon the Mexi-
can d'plomat our sense of grievance.
Be'ween the sinuous policy of Diaz
and the unfathomable involutions of
the rhetoric of Evarts there is small
hope of peace.
New York World: As nobody in the
House of Representatives, with the ex-
ception of the members from Texas,
seems to have taken any particular
pains to ascertain the actual state of
affairs on the Mexican border, it is not
surprising that yesterday's debate over
the President's allusions to Mexico in
his message should have been more
amusing than instructive. Mr. Mills,
who represents a constituency deeply
and directly concerned in the judicious
settlement of the Mexican question, ex-
hibited a little heat at the random way
in which sundry Northern Democratic
members relieved themselves of their
abundant ignorance of a theme with
which he and his people are but too
familiar. He can not be blamed much
for this. It is certainly rather trying
after all these years to hear grown men
gravely talking about the recognition
of one or another temporary ten-
ant of the exective power in
Mexico as a means of securing
the discharge by the Mexican govern-
ment of international duties which no
Mexican government has ever seri-
ously attempted to perform, and which
the Mexican people do not believe to
be duties at all. Ten yeaTS have hardly
elapsed since the Emperor Maximilian,
who held power in Mexico by a more
respectable tenure than Gen. Diaz, was
cast down and executed, mainly incon-
sequence of the refusal of the United
States to recognize him even as the de
facto ruler of the country. And yet
we have American representatives ris-
ing in Congress with the wisdom of
owbits and of owls to declaim about
our "invariable" rule of recognizing
all dc facto governments. If we es-
cape a war with Mexico, we shall owe
no thanks for it clearly to anybody or
anything except to our resolute officers
on the Rio Grande and to the determi-
nation of the people on the Texan bor-
ders no longer t» acquiesce in their
practical exclusion from all the bene-
fits of their connection with the Union.
RAILROAD NEWS,
Denison Ntics: Two full trains, load-
ed with ties for the Denison and South-
eastern Railroad, arrived Friday. The
track is now laid fof a distance of
about three miles, and will be com-
pleted to Chjctaw by Thursday of next
week, a distance of about seven mileB.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas is
row selling round trip tickets from
Chicago, St. Louis and Hannibal to
Galveston and San Antonio at the fol-
lowing rates:
From From From
Chicago. Hannibal. St. Louis.
Galveston and
return $78 25 $51 50 $«1 50
San Antonio
and return.. 91 25 74 50 74 50
The tickets are first class and are
good until May 1, 1878.
The Central Railroad reports its
gross earnings for six months ending
October 31, at $1,206,408 04. Expenses,
including taxes paid, for same period,
$761 827 43. Net earnings for the six
months, $444,580 61.
Denison News: From a prominent
contractor on the Denison and South-
eastern Railroad we learn that by Jan-
uary 10, if not sooner, the entire road
contracted for Will be completed. The
track-laying is now advanced to a point
about four miles from this city, and the
Choctaw will be reached by Thursday.
This gentleman also informed us that
he had received a telegram notifying
him that work on the R. R. and R. Q.
R. R. would begin at an early date, and
that he had made his arrangements to
commence work on that railroad within
ten days from date.
There are two things which double
up a man with startling rapidity—the
misery of an uneasy conscience and the
unpaid interest on a promissory note.
COMMERCIAL.
NEWS OFFICE, I
Wednesday Kvkninb. Deo. 19, 1877.1
Trade showed very little life to day. Orders
were small and buyers few. No Important
or permanent improvement is looked for in
the 1 hoi - sals trade during the next two
weeks, especially if the present depression in
the cotton market continues.
Another large day's receipts caused a decline
In all leading foreign and domestic markets,
and thers are evidently some signs of a gen-
eral demoralization of short, crop theorists.
Ten days of big receipts did it, but it will take
twenty davs falling off to mend the break.
Louisiana sugars were firm and in demand
to-day. Northern refined are also held higher-
Coffee is unchanged; the demand continues
moderate, and the very strong views of im"
porters check business.
KO TAX ON COTTON OR OTiiER PRO-
DUCE.
An erroneous apprehension seems to exist
in the interior that cotton and produce in
factors' hands on the 1st of January is liable
to a State tax. A test case was made by sev-
eral factorage firms in this city, and the mat-
ter taken before Judge Qustave Cook, of the
Criminal District Court, who decided that ttie
lerv of such a tax was illegal, and discharged
the" parties who were on trial for refusing to
pay it. The decision was rendered some weeks
since, and was published in full a*, the tin.e.
POOR TRADE AT NEW YORK.
The LUt sa:s:
The remarkably mild weather for the pe-
riod of the year Is a subject of universal com-
m nr, one-half of he first winter month hav-
ing passed without snow, and with a tempera-
ture barely low enough for light frost. The
Northern rivers, the lakes and harbors remain
open and inland transportation is unimpeded,
though the season of canal navigation is vir-
tually at An end; and yst it may be doubted
wh>ther the trade of the country has derived
any benefit from this remarkable exemption
from the rigors usua'ly incident to the season,
the movement in winter goods having been
scarcely equal to the average in former years.
Even gooas adap ed to the holiday season
have thus far attracted less attention than
usual, wnich Is attributed to the depression
of the times and enforced economy among
the masses.
NEW YORK WOOL MARKET.
The Shipping lA»t reports a firmer feeling
in the wool market. The new fall clip of Texas
continues quiet, but a firmer feeling was
noted toward the close. Sales 5000 pounds
Western at 20c.; 6000 pounds fine Eastern,
30c ; 1200 pounds black scoured, 48c ; and 12,-
C00 pounds Eastern on terms referred.
NEW YORK HIDE MA.BKET.
A firm feeling prevails and the demand is
improving. There are now no traces left of
the despondency and depression which caused
the rapid decline of a few days ago.

successfully than it has since the war,
thereby proving that the personal care which
is bestowed upon the mental and moral well-
being of each pupil,- and the physical strength
which is developed by oaily exercise In calis-
thenics, waits in beautiful and extensive
lawns, drinking sulphur water and constant
checks from imprudence, has gained the con-
fidence of the critical public. A class gradu-
ating in January will leave four vacancies,

DRESSMAKING!
My Dressmaker having arrived I will hence-
forward be prepared to give special attention
to this branch of my business.
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED, DI-
BECT BROM PARIS, an invoice of
Pattern Hats 8 Bonnets
which, in addition to those I have on hand,
makes my assortment PERFECT, but
owing to the lateness of the season, I have re-
solved to sell them far BELOW COST. This
is a fact which no one will doubt after they
have investigated for themselves.
PHBSENTS.
During my absence in France I selected a
number of elegant artic es suitable for Christ-
mas presents. I may enumerate Ivory-fltted
Dressing Cases, Ivory and Tortoise Shell
Combs, Brushes, and at tides of vertu adapted
to aladj's bondolr: also a variety of genuine
morocco Pocket-Bocks, e'c. These goods
will be sold low. An inspection of the collec-
tion is invited. The revision of my prices
will, no doubt, be a surprise to many.

Schenek's mandrake Pills
Will be found to possess those qualities neces
sary to the total eradication of all blllious at-
tacks, prompt to start the secretions of the
liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire
system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in
medical science to have invented a remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which develop all
the results produced by a heretofore free use
of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by man-
kind, and acknowledged to be destructive in
the extreme to the human system. That the
properties of certain vegetables comprise all
the virtues of calomel without its injurious
tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered
indisputable by scientific researches; and
those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully
satisfied that the best medicines are those
provided by nature in the common herbs and
roots of the fields.
These pills open the bowels and correct all
billlous derangements without salivation or
any of the injurious effects of calomel or other
poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted by
thene pills, as will be seen by the altered color
of the stools and disappearance of the sallow
complexion and cleansing of the tnngue.
Ample directions for use accompany each
box of the pills. Prepared only by J. H.
Schenck & Son, at their principal office, cor-
ner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, and
for sale by all druggists and dealers.
