Kidd, member of the IHouse from AJaswon parish, made in a recent speech at home. Capt. Kldd is a thorough represent Ve man of his section of Louisiana, and Sadvocacy of a convention there will carry weight. This is the most significant srance on the subject that has come from owntry. Gen. Grant is so well pleased with his .ntopean tour, it Is said, that he will 4pnd another year across the waters. bhe ex-President's reason for his r, as announced by himself, was a to be out of the country while yes was inaugurating his new regime .Md policy, so as not, in any way, to get Z ei mixed up with it. .Notwithstanding the fact that Grant tends to favor all Hayes' plans, it been noted that the opposition to came wholly from Grant's m friends and supporters. It was rd and other out-and-out Grant that persuaded the Iowa Conven F to vote against an indorsement of ayes; it was Conkling, his dearest > d, that arrayed New York against President, and it was Robeson, a etaber of his Cabinet, that placed New sey in line with these States. ' here facts, coupled with the loud of Grant and Grantism indulged by Conkling and Platt at Rochester, ve persuaded many people and newe at the North that the ex-Presi is ambitious of a third term, and he is staying in Europe until the awkward political questions and tons of the day are settled. 1te. hhe will come home and pro. himself boldly in favor of those and policy that have triumphed. short absence from the United States almost always beneficial to a presi tial candidate; it enables him to w the battlefield from a safe die and he can, moreover, always to give his opinion on any tick question. If Grant really is am ous of this honor of another term, I. playing his carda well, recruiting health while Cookling, Robeson and : rd fight his battles. The late strike extended pretty well the Union, at least over the ern States, but very few people aware that it had spread from this try to other climes, into our sister blle of Mexico, where it is still go on, having taken the form that all lar movements take in Mexico-a olution. W'When the news of the strikes first Ltahed Mexico, thay were grossly ex erated and misstated; in fact, it believed in many portions of the try that Mr. Tilden had inaugu them as a sort of a revolution, expected to ride into the Presi mny through them. The most preva it idea, however, was that the com ists were at the bottom of the ovement, and the Mexican official wspapers chuckled joyfully over the pect of the Union going to pieces a mighty internecine convulsion. The Mexican communists and lower felt greatly encouraged at the .Wa, and the two workingmen's papers otf the City of Mexico, El Comba and . oisliuta, called on the Mexican com mwnmists to follow the example of their teran brethren and take up arms the tyranny of capital and nopoly. These bold appeals had lit effect on the workingmen of the but in the neigboring State of go, the lower orders got very much ; oralized at the news. Quite a num ' of laborers rose en masse, took siasesion of several large estates tbi e into stores and warehouses in the *w and villages, and divided the con among themselves. The proprie 4oar storekeepers, and other sufferers ,-'dim the mob, made appeals to the Fed eal Government to protect them, but the Federal Government was just then too busy with the Lerdoists and the boundary question to pay any antion to this little rebellion and left to take its own course. This appear however, to produce no good effect. movement spread from Hidalgo to States of Queretaro and Mexico. In taro the communists became so that the Governor had to yield Stheir requests, and make certain in officials, etc. This is the t condition of affairs in Mexico. communists are in peaceful posses of many large estates and are dicta terms to the government, which is busy just now in protecting cattle on the RBlo Grande to spare any tr its home thieves, ardenters The news from the Rio Grande is oi the most irring character, and lndi oates a condition of affairs that demands immediate and energetic action upon the part of the Federal authorities, and we trust that the measures taken will be such as will teach the "greasers" a lesson they shall never forget. Gen. Ord is vested with unusual, and, it is to be hoped, ample powers and discretion to do all that the case demands, and that is nothing less than the uncondi tional surrender to the United States government of the entire mob that has invaded our borders and taken forcible possession of the towns of Isleta and San Elizario, subjecting the civil au thorities of a county to imprisonment and other indignities. The Federal government has for years refused protection to the Rio Grande frontier and forborne resentment of all manner of outrage and wrong perpe trated upon its citizens. Longer en durance would be a disgrace and an out rageous disregard of every obligation the government owes to its citizens. Should there be the slightest hesitation on its part in this instance, we trust that Gov. Hubbard will take the mattes in his own hands and bring these thieving and murderous trespassers upon the soil of Texas to a swift and bloody reck oning. This thing must be stopped, and that it was ever allowed to go unre sented in a single instance, much less to continue uninterruptedly for years, is a disgrace to civilization and a humiliation that no other nation in Christendom but the United States would ever have tolerated or endured. Nor would this government have endured it, except un der the pusillanimous and wretched ad ministrations we have had since the war, which have exhausted the powers in their hands in tyranny and oppres sion at home. But, it we mistake not, the time has at length arrived when the reckoning can be no longer delayed or avoided. Here is an actual forcible invasion of Texas, and under circumstances which, but too plainly, indicate that it was prompted by a popular sentiment of hos tility which will most certainly endea vor to protect the guilty parties engaged in it. However amicable may be the professions of the Diaz government, or however profuse its promises, there can be no longer any doubt that, if sin cere, it is utterly powerless to re sist the popular sentiment. Pro fessions and promises will no long er answer; this indignity must be punished as it deserves; our frontier must be secured against the possibili ty of future invasion, and our citizens against the recurrence of any such outrages as they have endured for years, through the pusillanimity of our Federal Administrations. But, whatever course the United States may see fit to adopt, Gov. Hubbard owes it to the citizens of Texas, whose Executive he is, to take prompt and de cisive steps to release those now in the hands of these ruffians and to visit a terrible vengeance upon them for every crime and outrage they may commit within the borders of his sovereignty This -we have no doubt he will do, nor do we any the less doubt that Gen. Ord will give him his full support and co operation in all that he may do. The New York Sun of the 4th contains an editorial bitterly condemning the " invasion of Mexico " the other day by Lieut. Bullis, as it called his pursuit across the border of a band of thieving Lipans who had been depredating upon our people for years, in which occurs this passage: Thanks to the fears or the forbearance of the Mexicans, and to the determination of the Diaz government not tobe drawn into hostil ities, the annexationists are again disappoint ed in their aims. But it seems the Sun was a little "previous" in its congratulations, for this invasion of Texas was doubtless prompted by resentment of Lieut. Bullis' expedition. The Sun is all of a heap because a lieutenant is able of his own motion to " invade Mexican soil," though in pursuit of a lot of ruffans and murderers who had been ravaging our frontier for years, and had always found safety and protection in Mexico, in spite of our repeated expostulations. Our people are murdered and robbed year in and year out, but all this they must endure, and the government must afford them no protection and allow it self to be defied by a race of lousy pilferers, its soil invaded, its nationali ty violated and itself dishonored, and 411 for fear of annexing a few provinces that may eventually increase the power of the Southern States. But, if we mistake not, the time has gone by for such talk to find popularity in the ear of any American who has any pride whatever in his country or her standing among the nations of the earth. We have no doubt that the Sun and Jim Blaine will raise a howl over every effort that may be inaugurated to avenge this insult and punish those engaged in this invasion of Texas. Nevertheless the peopie will sustain the Federal Administration as well as Gov. Hubbard in the extremest measures they may deem it necessary to adopt, and we greatly mistake their temper if they will be satisfied with anything less than the fullest and completest repara tion, and absolute guarantees against any repetition of the indignity. The above editorial was written on the strength of the account of the seiz ure of Isleta and San Elizario given by the Associated Press in the Times and Picayune yesterday morning. Late last night, after the article was in type and it was too late to expunge it, the dis patches to the DEMocaaT brought the correct version of the affair, which will be ind in our telegraphlo columns. 'h afthtr asll' for the prompt and vigorous lotion of the Goternor of Texas, but the Mexloan government does not seem to be responsible, except, very likely, Incidentally. THE ST. PAUL CONVENTION. The Mayor and the several commercial bodies of the city appointed a very respecta ble delegation, both in numbers and ability, to the St. Paul Convention, and we felt san guine that New Orleans would he largely rep resented in that important body. The great Northwest has stretched out to us the hand of fraternity, and it waf to be expected that we would gladly andt ,n ,inally clasp it. But with real regret w,. I,,arn that C(ol. Louis Bush was the only nionlm er of the delegation who left yesterday. Col. Bush Is a man of decided ability and of indefatigallo in dustry and energy. Whatever he takes hold of he manages with judgment and success. No single man in the State could more fully and ably represent New Orleans and Louisl ana at St. Paul, and so, while we regret that the balance of the delegates are not to attend the convention, we are sincerely gratified that Col. Bush will be there. Among the delegates appointed by the Chamber of Commerce was Prof. Forshey, of this city. Were this gentleman to attend the convention, he would ably co-operate with Col. Bush, and it was tihe Colonel's great de sire that the Professor should accompany him. But no appropriation or subscription had been made by any of the bod.es appoint ing delegates, and Prof. Forshey, though willing to go in the public interest, did not feel justified in incurring the expense out of his own pocket. We think that two hundred or two hundred and fifty dollars should be appropriated by the city or raised by subscription to pay this gentleman to go on and join Col. Bush. He has devoted a lifetime to the study of our levee system, our groat river and the re source( of its valley, and probably under stands these subjects as well, if not better, than any man In the Misslssippi Valley. The DEMOCRAT, appreciating the important purposes of the St. Paul coa iention, has, at considerableexpense, sent a representative to keeps its readers posted as to the proceedings and surely Now Orleans, either through its municipal authorities, or by the subscription of its people, should send a representative of so much value as the Professor. This morning Mr. Dupro, of this paper, will visit our merchants and solicit subscriptions to raise the small sum to secure the services of Professor Forshey. With Col. Bush, sup ported by Professor Forshey, New Orleans will be represented in a manner worthy of her great interest in the gathering at Mt. Paul, and we sincerely trust that the small sum re quired will be subscribed in time to enable Prof. Forshey to leave this evening. That learned geologist, Prof. Suess, li come to the assistance of the romonetizers o silver with an array of indisputable facts that demonstrate very clearly the impossi bility of making gold a universal single money standard. Had the other countries of Europe imitated Germany in this respect, they would have discovered, Prof. Suess de clares, that there is not near enough gold now in existence to carry on the business of the world. Prof. Suess further shows that the available gold concealed in our earth is now nearly exhausted. Precious metals are found In veins, in rocks, and in placers or fluvial fields; the first Is the most abundant source of supply, while placer diggings, being the result of the decomposition of the primitive rocks, are naturally not very extensive. Silver is found mostly in veins, gold in placer diggings, nineteen-twentieths of the gold now In. use being thus mined. Phil osophic investigation has shown that more than half of the supply these fieolds can possibly yield has been already mined. The time is therefore not far distant when they will be wholly barren and when the world's supply of gold will suddenly cease. On the other hand, silver is extracted mainly from veins and fissures, sources so nu merous and widely distributed over the earth that its supply is absolutely unlimited, al though the cost of working it must ever make ita precious metal. In view of these facts Prof. Suess thinks that the countries of Europe which have demoni tized silver will not only be compelled to abandon the single money standard of gold, but that the time is very near at hand when they will find it wise to renounce gold al together as a circulating medium.
