That an election occurred in Mississ ippi November Gth , 1883 , at which it is currently reported through the public press , that prior to said election , in Ca piah county , was organized a movement by a mob of one political party to pre vent members of the ether party voting and preventing a free and open discussion , that by means of organized violence and terror by night and day , including in some cases the killing of lawful voters , it was sought by members of one party to act upon members of another party with a view _ to deprive the latter of their constitutional rights , that this extended throughout said connty of Capinh and into portions of other coun ties , thatthofactsshow as partjof thia plan , that onp J.

THE MKXItUN TKEATV. Senor Romero , Mexican minister , when asked what ho had to say in regarc to General Grant'a letter concerning thp Mexican treaty , said : "I know Genera" Grant has not now and has not had any personal interest in Mexico that might bo served with a ratification of a reciprocity treaty. General Grant alwaya haa boot a warm , sincere and diaintereated friont of Mexico and with a view to servo tha > country and not with any object per sonal , conaonted to organize a company of competent gentlemen in this countrj for the purpose of building a road from the City of Mexico to the Mexican fron tier v itli Guatemala , which road has no yet boon begun and ia not liable to bt built for the present. I , myself , do no hold a single share of stock in any rail road now built in Mexico or any otho personal interest in any of them. Tin truth is , I believe myself to bo a sincere ly disinterested friend of the Unite ! States as General Grant is of Moxic and that the treaty wo signed really ro ciprosatea in benefits to both ; and in m ; opinion the bust interest of both has bee consulted and provided for in the instru uieiit" THE FOUTV-KIGUTU CONG11ESH SENATE.

Mr. Plumb strongly opposed the pas- igo of the measure. Ho thought there vas a little too much toadyism in our oalings with foreign governments ns mild bo observed sometimes in our iplomatic service. Ho had boon told lat there were representatives of the Jnitcd States abroad who spent a part of lioir time belittling the people by whom iioy were paid and bohovo themselves ess American citizens than citizens or ubjocts of Great Britain , or such ether ations as they may bo accredited to. t is time wo stepped aping the manners f ether nations.

KOU 1AVK IN TUB VKN. Folln mul Hurt KcRCiicil l.'rom the GnlltnvR by the Governor. Lixcour , Nob. , January 22. The death sentences of John Polin and George Hart were to-day commuted to life im prisonment by Governor Dawcs. Both were sentenced to hang on the 25th , the former at Plattsmouth and the latter at Grand Island. In the case of Polin it wan urged by his father and frionda in mitigation of his aontonco , that Motlccr , the man whom ho killed , had endeavored tt estrange the allbctions of his wifo. In support of this point , Judge Cobb , in his letter to the governor , used the follow ing : language : "Whilo it cannot bo an m nounced as law from the bench , yet it is la which is acknowledged by almost all people " , whether savage or civilised , that Inbi who takes the lifo of a man whom ho boliovoa guilty of violating the chastity oiw his wife or daughter , has an excuse which should shield w him from the ex treme penalty of the law. " In the case of Hart , no facts or evidence - donco were developed at the trial or the review to relieve the crime of deliberate malicious murder , and much surprise is 03 pressed that the governor should in terforo. ( The action of the executive is based on letters from Chief Justice Oobb , Justice Lake and M. B. Reese , Hart's prosecu tor. In his ollicial remarks the govern or says : "After presenting these letters , in ! consideration of the statements as aforesaid , and with the fooling that I would have no right to disregard a recommendation - commendation coming in sucli a manner , and from a source ao dignified , I do , by vi of the authority in mo vested by la , commute the sentence of said George Hart to confinement at hard labor in the penitentiary in this atato during his lifo.
