KENDALL'S NARRATIVE CONTINUED.
At tho request of Col. Cook and Dr,
Urouhfttn, two cf the principal inorthauts,
JLijor Howard nnd Mr. Fitzgerald nccom
pauied Lewis and Van Ness, and as I wan in
groat hadto to prosecute my journey through
Mexico, I gathered all my efl'octs, packed
them in leather panniers made for tho pur.
pose, placed them upon my initio, and set
oil in company. This was on tho 1 1th of
September, and when I parted with my
mends, l certainly did not expect to see
them for tho first time in tho City af Mexico
in chains.
The shepherds from whom we had pur
chased our provisions had informed us that
tho country was in arms against us, that
Howland and his company were prisoners in
Santa Fe, and that an American named llow
land, a merchant at San Miguel, had also
been imprisionod and his goods confiscated
by order of the governor, Armigo. Yet
they told thesfl stories in so many diffjrent
ways, aud contradicted thomselves so often
that little confidence could be placed in
them.
After having obtained directions as to our
pourse towards tho camino real, or prin
cipal road, for our camp on - tho Eio
Gallinos which was some distance from it,
we proceeded on our way, a Mexican ser
vant we had accompanying us. After reach-
the main road we journeyed briskly forward
until nearly two oYlock. An abrupt turn
now brought us suddenly upon two Mexi
can muleteers, enjoying a quiet nienta,
while their mules were feeding close by
them. Our appearance frightened them
exceedingly, and as they quickly caught
their mules and commenced putting on
their pucks, their extreme nervousness was
pluinly risible. The color entirely left the
swarthy face of one these fellows, who for
once, certainly had the appearanco of a
whitoman; and as his trembling hands
were flying about from ono part of his ruulo
to another fastening the pack, tho move
ments could not have been mere rapid had
he bean executing "Tho Battle of rrague,"
or one of Strwuss's quickest nnd most diffi
cult waltzes on the piano. At first he could
not answer a questfon coherently, but as ho
gradually found that our intentions were not
to eat him up alive, the color returned to
to his cheeks, his tongue became loose and
he was able to give us satisfactory answers.
Tho fellow said tliat our approach was
well known to tho inhabitants, and the
greatest fctir and excitement existed in con.
sequence of Arniigo's informing them that
intentions were to burn, slay and destroy,
as we went He corroborated the report
that Howland had bn arrested for his
(rcpposed connection with the expedition,
m wll as tke torr that Howland, Baker
ar.d Rofnbnry were prison- in Santa Fe,
althongh he aw-riM that they had the liber
ty of the town. Aftr UUing on that the
vi.'lae of At.ton Chico vaicoine two cr
three cile to our kft, and a little off the
onin road to San Viffn-1, the rrn!ete-r de-
I artel. aprret.t!y well satisfied that we
Lad kt him off withont taking hit ca?p.
It waa tw deaoed advisable to aeivl
wrrd lack to oar friend, on the GaIIina of
wlt we Lad beari, and Maccel waa aocord
itg'T dijULed with a Bote detailing every
thing. Mr, Van Nesa also sent back a num
ber of iotton of iutrodurtion to different in
dividuals, with which ho had been furnished
aud other papers, fearing that ho might he
arrested aud blame might full npon inno
cout parties if ho should bo searched,
aud the letters found on his person. After
this we turned off in the diroction of Anton
Chioo.
Not. Mr. Van Ness who could speak
Spanish well, certainly understood the
rroachory and outrageous lying propensities
of the mongrel raco of Spaniards and half,
breed Indians. These poople are coward
ly, aud very ignorant bud bigoted; our
officers ought not to have put any trust in
their treaty with us or promises ; tho alaught
at Goliad and the Alamo, ought to have sat
isfied them of thoir treachery and cruelty.
From St. Louis.
St. Louis, Aug. 31, 1883..
Editor Fbm Frkss: Judge Noouan has
douidod in favor of the saloon keepers.
Tho Suuday law is a nulity in St Louis.
Your correspondent predicted this result in
former letters to the Free Frrrs. Tlio rie.
cisionof Judges Noonan is regarded through
out the State as a corrupt political measure.
Governor Tom. Crittenden is exnspmited
and will cull a special sessiou of tho Legia.
laturo and uuder the provocation of Judge
Noouau's decision (?) the assembly will
doubtless enact laws that will brii'g this
revolutionary and free Gerniau city to its
knees. The State and tho city of St. Ltmis
are now divided on thia issue. As n legid
proposition it is doubtless truo that tho city
or linanco law of 1857 is unrepealed, and
this law gave tho saloon keeper's the tight
to soil beer and nativo wino on Sunday.
Tho Governor aud tho couuties take a ditter.
ent view of it however. It is contended by
tho State's Attorney, Col. Claiborne, that
tho Downing Sunday law repealed all pre
vious laws and ordinances and his able ar
gument on that point seems unanswerable
to tho law abiding citizens of tho city and
Stuto. Col. Robert Claiborne is a personal
friend of Governor CiiUoudeti; ho is it bmve
niau, aud tho pride of our criminal bar, and
tho consequences of hiu splendid talent) will
soon he folt by thoso who violate tho crimi
nal laws of this State. Carl Smythe.
The Question of An Extra Session.
Tho crops of Texas last year, largely ex
ceed any previous year's. An immense am
ount of hud was sold, bringing to the State
many millions of dollars ; land advanced
heavily in price ; cattle and sheep advanced
in price; all taxablo valueB were advanced,
so that on the first of January 1883, when
the tax assesseor began his assessments, the
land, Btock of all kinds, merchandise and
all taxable property had felt tha year of
progress and prosperity and were rendered
for taxation at such enhanced valueB that it
is now computed tho property taxes will
yield some $250,000 more of revenue than
the previous year. For a time, and until
the assessment rolls of tho counties begin
ning tocouio to the comptroller's office were
found to indicate this extraordinary result,
it was assumed by the News that thoro wus
no occasion for an extra session of the leg
islature, And, indeed, there distinctly ap
pears ns yet no sufficient r.afioii for entail
ing that expense, growing out of the
adoption of tho constitutional amendments.
But if the assessment rolls hereafter to come
in shall bo found to justify the estimate of
250,000 increase in the revenue there will
be an uuforseen but sufficient reason for nu
extra session of the legislature to reduce
the rate of taxation. There is iikelv to be
an increase also in the revenue from poll
taxes and occupation taxes consequent upon
the increase of trade and population, while
tho expense of tho government are. after
tho large expenditures for the peuiteuthuy
ond asylums have been made. Iikelv to be
diminished rather than increased. I'rovi
vioion has been mado for theso permanent
iuiprovmcnts, and the increased reveuut
will only go to swell the idle cash balance.
and embaniMi and oppress tax-payers dur-
ng a year that is likely, it appears, to bo
disastrous to thousands of producers, small
land-holders and country merchants. (7a.'.

to Monterey as follows :

should be found in company with so many
consummate asses claiming to be newspaper
