The new issue of bonds. saved enough interest by June 1 fo repay the interest ha allowed the Syndicate, and to cover sl {he’ oxpenses of the negotiation, and-has since saved $1,000,000 in reduced interest. The an- nual ennng will amount to §2,000,000.

Will~ jam Qrton, President.of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and two or three other prominent politicians of New York, they having purchased a majority of the stock of the estab- lishment. It isnot yét known what is signified by this important transaction (perhaps the New York Times can tell us), but 8. more complete transformation Ecene was never enmacted on any stago than the emptying of the Tribune office of its editors, writers, stockholders, fore- man, ete. Tt is probable that some political chango is involved in the purchase—else Mr. Reid snd his associates would not have 60 promptly resigned. Mr. Reid's firness and self-respect will challenge the admiration of the. profession everywhere, and his abilities.2s a journalist will not be long unemployed. -Mesn- while, Mr. Orton and his aseociates have puba large sum of money into a newspaper, and the public will be greatly intorested in seeing what they will do with &, The New York ZTvibune is too large & piece of property to be made a play- thing of.

Congress, in May, 1872, ‘authorized the ap- pointment of three Commissioners fo inquire into the extent and character of alloged depre-' dations on the Texas side of the River Rio. Grande, by bands of Indians and Mexioans, The Hon. James Brooks rose to a question of yrivilege in the House yesterdsy, to answer the chargea mads sgainst him by Mr. M'Comb in ’his testimony before tho Credit Mobilier Inves- gation Committes, o tho effect’that hehad Jeen bribed with fifty shaves of Credit Mobilier stock. Ar. AP'Comb he called & reckless adven- Xurer, proven by official records to be a bandit snd robber, o briber and perjurer. The charges .| against himself were & figment of M'Comb's | willanous imagination, for which there was no pther warrant than in the fact that his son-in- ‘Iaw had: bought 50 shares of the Credit Mo- ilier stock, for which their full value was paid.

They in- vestigated matters in the cattle-raising districts on the Lower Rio Grande, end in the country between that river-and the Nuecos River. The Committes have reported a list of the persons robbed, the value of the property taken, and the aggregate foots up £27,859,368.97. - Leaving out Lbe 97 cents, the billis quite & handsome one- The Commissioners report that _the Mexican Government is responsible for this s sum, aswell The Cincinnati Commercial enumersies the | as for probably twice as fouch more upon fllinois and Michigen Canal and the Illinois | claims which have not yei been éxamined; River improvement among the schemes coming and, es ghi anomons sum-can only be collected sopn before Congress for an sppropristion of - public money.

The Commissioners declare that thers has been 0 local disease and no complaint of Iocal cattle~ sterling.- The cattle all range together over many hundred square miles. * Once & year they are driven up by the rmc]mros, examined, branded, and an secount taken. Ownership is dotermined by branding, each man having a pub- licly -recorded -brand, which cannot lawfully be imitated. When a herd is gold, the gale of the brand is recorded.- In gath- eving’ the stock; tho increase which follows' the old cattle js assumed to be theirs, and is so branded. When the old stock and the increase do not turn up in their full numbers according to the tables of the Texas Almanac, the owner makes ‘&n entry of the deficiency and charges it against the Mexicans. - The third class of claims is for :mpnsonment and ontrugea. Four citizens of Brownsville demand $25,000 ‘each for errest while on the *waters of the Rio Grande.” One Francis M. Campbell asks 150,000 for a brief imprisonment in 1859, Four other citizens of Brownsville were arrested on - Mexican soil on & criming] charge, in 1867, and afterwards released,. for which they ask $100,000 each. This class of claims is completed by Joseph Walsh, of Mat- moras, who sued certain Mexicans on their ac- ceptances; and bes, g0 far, been unsble to e cover a judgment. He asks $251,022.97 for “negation of justico” by the Mexican Courts, - - We have taken the trouble to run through this arrayof claims, indorsed by three Commission- ers, Who are assumed to be intelligent citizéns, 28 valid claims ngainst Mexico, the collection of- | swhich’ shionld ‘be enforced by the Government,” and we find the following results: Value placed by the claimanté upon the proporty alleged by them to have been taken or destroyed, $6,945,- 439;- claims for consequential damages resulting from the taking of tho. property, $18,104,283; clsims forpersonal dameges for arrest, imprison- ment, and ‘““negation of justice,” £903,022.97. Whole number of cattle alleged to have been taken, 563,836; whole number of increase, for: which pay is sskod, 1,742,146; sggregate num- ber of cattle claimed, 2,305,972. It will be seen that Mexico is charged with helf o million cattle taken, 'and with all the ordinary tiataral increasé of such cattle. - Thia increase is compounded; it dombles almost every three ‘years, and, if the claim ialeft un- the earth. Itis true the Texan citizens who make this claim ask $10 in gold per head for their éatflo, 0ld and young, though the Commis-. sioners admit that like cattle may be bought in Mexico at from $2 to $4'per head; but these American - cattlo can’t be expected to grow as cheaply as caftle on the other side of the river; and American’ industry, which exists in letting cattle feed themsclves on the plains, must be protected. The demand for horses is made on the same seale as that for cattle; the probublo increase of the herd is put down in the bill sgainst Mexico. If this were a claim made by one American citizen against another, we do not suppose & Court in any part of the Union ontside of Toxas would entertain it. Even if ! judgment of any - intelligent = American, we question whether he would allow &5 cents on the " dollar claimed. 'The whole mass of . claims . are, .on. their faco, -even 88 presented by the Commissioners, an enor- mous ‘and prepostérous job,—something to be g0ld to o lobby, and by.the latter to be pushed. through Congress. The ~Commissioners are now begging Congress to vote money to pey. their salaries for another year, to hunt up other- claims.of the same kind. -All the'good that this_ Commisgion has done has been to lead the peo- ple slong the Rio Grande to. suppose - that they _Had ' valid claiin againat Mexico for twenty to ifty mnhons of dollars, and that Congress ¥ would insist npon their being paid. - N THE ADNISSION OF COLORADO, viding for the admiasion of Colorado as & State. There sre many ressons why Colorado, which to become a State, should now be admitted, if the people of the present Territory really -desire it. Coloredo has now meny.more claims than & make-weight, with a population of only 6,857, and Nebrasks in 1867 with an estimpted popula- | tion of 60,000. Tho vole of Colorado, at the Territorial election of Beptember, 1872, was but little less than 14,000, ~which. would indiggte & populstion of 70,000 people, ors grea\‘.er ‘number than éjthér of the other Btates 1 at the time of admission ; pnd . the vote of ‘the Te;;\tory is equal to the nvsnga vote of tbs New- Engumi Gongressional Districts. yad% was admitted a8 & Btats, the Ensbling bill ircluded Cojprado- and Nebraska ; but the vote of Colorado VRS B ] hvon.blu to accepting the terms, though the real § reason why-the admission was rejected is 8aid tohave bsonpo!.\tml disagreements among the ' Btate officers and Sonatord who had been eloato [thie citation of ‘a fewfrom each clags. ~All'the; .| ttmoent among the Golorsdo pecple for & -Btate gathered from some of the other hiua,‘ a8, for, paid, it will exceed, beforo the year 1900, all the- national debts of 21l the nations on the face of any responsibility for the raid into Texas by Cortinas, in 1859, was traced to Mexico, and" these bills for damages were submitted to the.

In sddition to this, however, it is proposed to dismember the Territory of Wyoming, which has only 10,000 inhabitants, and doesnot war~ rant the expense of maintaining a separate Gov- ernment, and o divide this Territory among Colorado, Utah, . Montana, and. Idaho, - from which it ‘was originally fonned. Thnt portion of Wyoming which lies betweon 41 and 42 degrees Iatitude will naturally fall to Colorado. - This in- Gludes the line of the Pacific Road and the most populous settlements in Wyoming, o thatsnch a patition.would addlargely to Colorado's pop- ulation, and incresse - her claims- for ndmission. The partition is ong; that’ probably should take place without mgud to Culamdosapphcatmn to become a State. MR. GREELEY AND AMAZIAH, There' is & clergyman at Hempatead, N. T.! Rev. Goorge Lansing Taylor, ‘one_of the most eloquent divines in his denomination, recog- nized &8 a fine ‘scholsr, & poet of no common order, & Trustee of the Byracuse University, and hence, of course, & shining light. Some clergy- men prefer to bo regarded as pillars; others take more pride in baing considered 2 & shining light. We are prepared to admit that Rev. @George Lansing Taylor is & shininglight, and that his light is set up in & high plice. Dazzling 28 the beams of this luminary may-be—which are shed for the enlightening of ‘mankind, or that portion of it which derives its weekly jlluminatiod " from = him — it would be in order . to roprimand Rev. George Lansing - Taylor for a shocking breach of ‘ministerial propriety, and awant of respect for . the dend, wereit not for the fact thatho be- longs to tho party. Rev. George Lansing Taz- or recently preached o sermon on the death- of Mr. Greeley,in which he compared Mr. Greeley to Amazish, King of Judsh, who did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, up to the last great act of his life, when, in disobedienco to the advice of the prophet, he fought againat Israel, and was slain, all of which, we submit, is out of taste, if''mot & trifle- irreverent. It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that Rev. | George Lansing Taylors Isracl is the party which voted for Goneral Grant at therecen. election, and that Roscoe Conkling is the prophet, while the Philadelphia Convention may be accepted as standing in the relationship of Divine Providence.” Of course; it is entirely within the ministerial province to institate such =& comparison ; but this does not settle the ques-' . ion of propriety or of reverence. Intho days of Israel, it was & mortal sin to take up arms against it ; but, however much-the party may resemble Israel, we have yet to learn upon whet' sutborify Rev. George Lansing Taylor decides that s citizen who differs in political opinion. from him, and has the temerity ‘to run for the' Presidency sgainst the regumlar nom- ination, is doing that whichis displeasing to’ the Lord. The wesk point in the Rev. George TLansing Taylor’s parallelism is, that the King of- Judeh committed a heinous ein, and Mr. Gree- ley did nothing of the kind, and this difference lets the whole parallel go by the run, If Ama- zish had been a man of ‘blamelesa’ life, who had devoted all his years to the uplitting of the lowly and the advancement of the races;.if, be- lieving that there were radical defects in the’ government of his peopls, which were a national: disgrace, he had songht to romove them and’ failed; if he had been reviled, and.villified for 8o doing; if family- afflictions had been visited upon him; if he had died under such’ circum-, stances and there Were not wanting those who- still continued to revile his memory, the Rev.’ George Lansing Taylor might haveé instituted s comparison possessing both force and meaning.. Taken as 8 whole, the sermon’ of the Rev. George Lansing Taylor is one of those in- stances, which are fortunately becoming rare, -| of narrow, sectarian bigotry, which date back Mr a time when it was considered & sin for & clergy-: man to wear,whiskers, or for a layman to ‘enjoy the warmth of a stove in church. In the creed of such men, they and their set alone are pleas- ing to the Lord, and tho'rest of the world are odious in His sight. They alone aro anthorized to measure the purposes of God and uncork the |. seven viols of wrath. Butthe world has been . advancing, and evidsn(:ly among those, slow of pace, and scant of uhmly, and thick of head, ‘who have been left behind, is the Bev. Georgo Lmlng Taylor.

While pliable, it is tough enough not to be-easily torn, and it offers a smooth surface for the decoration that may be put upon it. The paint that is nsed is of some new chemical composition. The foil is out into gheets of thirty or forty inches in ‘width and sbout, five yards in length. It can be readily applied to the wall by experienced paper- hangers, the difference being that, in the case of paper, paste is used on the back of it, while in the case of the tin-foil a varnish is placed on the surface which is to be covered. The foil is -go flexible thaf it can be applied to- mouldings \and corpices much more neatly than paper, and it Hag the further Mivmta,ge of being water-. pmo{ SR R ‘I‘hn Emperor of Germany has recently adopt- ed anew line of etiquette with reference to Ger- man Princesses marrying into the Rupssian Im- porial family.
