ANOTHENR ACCOUNT. Byeetal Correspendencs of The Tritnne, BAx Axtonto, Tex., Dee. 20.—Texns is ter- ribly “rilcd” up about the Lilling of Judge Howard and his associates at San Eilzario, and, fn view ol the real facts In the case, it Is very properly so. The causcs which led to this ro- sult, and the result iteelf, sound so much Iko the okl bistory of Texaa that they may properly be called a contlnuation ot it. About tlirty years ago, Judge Zimpel- mann, of Austin, purchased from the State of Toxas two of tho salt lokes near Ban Elizarlo, oud the third one was purchas- ed by a Mr Maverlck, of Ban Antonlo, The salt is depositod in theso Inkes by the wa- ter washing it from the adfacent hilis, and, as the lakes are dry nlno monthis fn the year, the deposit, which ranges In thickness from one- balf of av fnch to a foot and a half, can be obtalned without any other of- fort than shovcling up and carting away, The Mexlcans and Indlans hava had the * free run® of theo salt beds for the past 200 years, aud, as they are about mlles from the frontler, they were the anly dependence of the dwellers in Chichihauba sud Northern-Central Mexico, as well ns Western Texea' and New Mexico. 5 JUDGR TIOWARD 'was the son-in-law of Judge Ztmpelmann, and, whilo Moward was on tho bench §fn El Pnso County, his father-In-law requested him to look after his intercsts and tollect a tax from those who appropriated his salt, and, to mako the thing efective, he procured from Mr. Maverick 4 leaso of his lake. Judge Howard wndertook the work, but found it an up-hill business, ow- {ng to the opposition of one Cardls, an Italian merchant at Ban Ellzarlo, who had a grudge sgalnst Howard, erowing ol of a caning ho had given Cardis a year before, while they were members of a Demo- cratie convention at Austin. Cardle, who was bent on rovenge, but was too cowardly to seek it In & manly way, saw {u this salt bust- ness his chanco to got even, Mo knew that all the entire Btate of Chichihauha was depondent on thesa lakes for its supplies of the saline commodity, and, nd the Mexican teamsters ar- rived with their carts, he told thom of this out- rage which Judga Howard proposed to ltnpose on them, and that they could at once prepare to dofend their sacred and long-established rights, They wanted salt, and wanted it bad,—in fact, it was .A GROUND-IIO0 OASE WITH THEN, and, whon Cardis told them they had only to kill Howard and all would be piain safling for them, thoy hesitated mot ot such a trifle, but “heeled” themscires and informod the Judge that they had not a cent for tribute, but mill- jons for dofense, and that he must leave the county, Ndw the Judge was *‘mame,"'and had no idea of dnlng anything of the sort, and, when ate tacked by Cardis and three companions, he promptiy dilod tho Ttailan and wounded his rienda.; This wantan act of selt-defenss so en- ragedd the Mextenn &wrmlnunn of El Pgso County and their friends from the south aida of tho river that they declded to hang the Judge without trial If they could get himn. The Judgo ylnccd himsolf under the protection of Maj, onies, of the Btate mnllitia, who, under orders from the Goveérnor, bascd upon the apptleation of the Bherlfl, had marched with twenty mititia- men to that oxposed frontler post, which Is ‘750 miles distavt from the boso of supplies or reinforcements, As_the salt-trains and cattle- stealecs arrived frem Mexico, thoy were inform- ed of the situation, THB WEAKNESS OF TIN STATR FONCES, 8nd the neccssity of declsive action. The near- ast military post wasat -Ei Puso, twenty-fivo mlles nm:'y but it was in Gen, Pape’s Depart- ment, an tho officer In commayntd had speclal fnstructions not to moddle with Texas or dlexi- can matters, Feeling thus sccuro, the Greasers walted untit thelr forces numbered between 800 and 400, and then, pursuiug the tactics which were adopted b'y thelr ancestors at the Alamo in this place, they aurrounded the llttlc dguad-of State troops, drove thom {nto an adobe house after killing five of thelr number, and then starved them ont by siege, - During the whole affair not a singlo Greaser wns reported killed or wounded. Flually, the Btate troops, seelne that resistanca meant death by starvation, surrendered, and the merciful scoundrels killed only Judge Howard McDBrhle, and Atkinson, Why they did not kol the others (s .

The tovel which acrved himn for & habltation would uot bave created cuvy among the lowest peas- antry who galned their sustenance by digring oro fram the deptis of neignboring mountains. Jolutug a little church surmounted by a cross, this dwelling appeared more like one of those charitable resting-places 8o often erccted on high situations rathcr than a permanent abode. Bobiud it, on the declivity of the mountain, tho peasants’ cablus appeared like a caravan de- sceuding tho tortuous sud yugged route; and bolow the fertile valloy of Limagno was scen, with the Allier windiug through it like a silver baud. From this point sight roamed from rock to rock aloug tho ctaln of mouutains, from which the Puy de Dome, tho Plomb de Cantal, and the Golden Mountatn arise fn all thelr grandeur, ‘Buch is somewhat the kind of The- blade inhabited for ten years by the curate of & village, the uamo of which fu now of littla im portance,, . ‘Thie curate was about 60 years of age and pos- sosscd u shnplicity of beart which did pot ex- tlude retinement nor elevation of character. ‘Winters wers uover too vold, nor suow too deep, | ravines of mountalvs tov profound, uor shad- Qwe of tho uight too dark, to arrest the progress af his arduoua duties.

It wil pass the Ifouse by a threo-fourths vote, and will recelve so vear a Lwo-thirds vite In the Benatc that {I it be vetoed there will be enough strength in that branch to pass [t over the veto. ‘The Presfdent objects to the Bland bill on nee count of the tree colnnge clause, it unlimited Iegal-tender characteristics, and becauee it (sa violatlon of the public Inith tu pay the creditors of the Government either the principal or (n~ terext of thelr bondain silver. In regard to uu- limited voinage and the danger of flooding the country with sllver, wo nced not fear that, be- callse We caunot fssus more than $2,000,000 per month, or about $25,000,000 8 year, and that would be a merc drop fn_the bucket, It is claimed to ba legisiation in favor of tho allver Industry of tho country, but I do not know why we should objcct to 1t because §¢ henclits silver or any other special Industry, (f it alro benefits the whole country at the “same time, 11, as legul-tender, sliver was linited tu 8100, it would be a diserimiuation fu favor of the capi- tatlat, because the poor man In the payment of his small debts might be obliged to recelve tho depreclated currency, siiver, while the rich man in tho payment ot his delits could claim gold, which is worth a conslderable perventago over silver. [ clatm that what {s good enough for thy poor mean i8 good enough for the rich man, and what {8 cnjoyed by the rich maum thia respect snould be «'u')ow by the poor man. Passing the Bliver LIN wili bo only to Lring the Government back to tho standerd which had always heen known from the beginning of the Government up to 1878, Sliver, aga standard, was not demoncet- {zed until 1873, and in 1567 ana 1865 I, as nlawyer, found that the statutes of the United States Lnermmm payments of the bonda in green- acks, aud I may say that the opinfon was colne cided fn by other lawyers who examined the question. Tho country became alanned, and the public creditors appealed to_the_ politlcians to take action in the mattor. Accordingly, the act of 1860, the flrst of Grant's Adwlinistration, was passed. 'The President, o quoting from the act, eays that its great merit was that {t re- moved all doubt as to the purpose of the Unjted States to pay thelr bobded debt in cofn. 11 the Prestdent had auoted further from that act he would have scen that while tho first part of the act refers to the debt of tho Governument to be pald in cotn (which word in Itself might wean gold or sllver) it subsequently detines what was Intended to be understood by the word * coin * by making uso of the oxpresslon that the dabt might bo pald In gold or silver coint and you will find printed on nll tho bonds issued since 1600 the statement thut the princlpdl und in- terest aro to Lo puld in coin, ns provided Ly sald st of March, 1869, When you refer Lo that act to find what coln 18 speciiled, the act cxpressly gives the right to pay fu gnh} or sil- vercolu, Although siiver was demounctized by the act of February, 1833, yet all bouds fssued In pursuance of the act ol 1503, or after that year, como under that contract, und may be pald, eitber principal or {utereat, in gold or afl. ver. The Presldent clalms that, even if we had- the right to pay the bouds In silver, we ought, inorder tq keop our faith and credit goud, to pay ingold; but in theso thnes we caunot af- ford to be gencrous, I om in favor of carrylng out our contructs to the letter; but we vught not ta dv more than our coutract honestly calls for, If sllver was as high as_gold, or worth & premium above gold, our creditors might clalm with equal right that they slould be Bum 10 sil- ver, as they dld ones in” England when sflver was at & promium of § per cent above gold. Her creditors insisted that, . since Louds were to be pald pouuds, sbiillings, and penee, the word & Fuund." a8 used in En- clish language, meant a siver pound of statdand neness, and that therefore they were to by pald In silver nouuds, and stiould not be obliged to take rold; and o law was gctually passed to this effect, 1o regard to the mwursl obligation of the Uovernment to pay golil (eince otherwiso all honds would be depreciated), the other prop- erty of the country, extept bouds ana evidences of Indcltedness, has depreciated on tlio averaze about 33 wer cent; overything 18 03 per cent lower, If you owued ahouss worth §100,000, and it was mortgaged for §60,000, iL is nuw worth 860,000 cr §70,000; but tho wortguge Is otil] 830,000, The bomds bave not deprechted at ally and, shuce the nrx‘?wnv bus depreclated, why should not the bondholders aud crediturs comae In and bear a sinall part of the general depreciation! 1f your properly hus decreased 84 per cout why cunnot the creditors stand o de- reciation of 1ess than 10 per cent! 1don't be- fove this depreciation will tuke place. T almost wish It nught, {0 order that we could et at somethiog 1ke an averago of theso fosscs, 1 hoe 1leve that as soon na silver becoines legal-tender 8 per cent of the differonce will at onco disap- ear, aud in three months® tine 1 am confléent Le ather B per centgwill disappear, aud miver witl be us good.os greenbacks, and both be equalized to wold in value, 1 beiteve, further, that it will have a beneticlal etfect wpon the country, Tae graln houses of the West ara bursting with graln. The wurchouscs of the Enst arv illed with manufactured goods, The ratlroads are avxious to bring the grun fron tho West to put into our mouths, and to carry the goola from the East to Pul upon the backs of the West. The passugzo of this bill will tend to brlug ebout that result, bocause it will show to tha peoplo that wo have reached that position populurl{ duslgnated as * hard-pan;'’ !h-l. contraction has ceased: that we are not olng auy turther In that directlon.

Tiie news- ‘npcm. 08 yoit are_aware, have wondered why I inve kept “sltll. T wiil state to you cantidens thally that it was because [ have thought it beat, Laughtcr.] Ina talk with the President last Mareh I found he wan fmbued with the Ideathat he could bulld up the Republican parte in the Houth. 1 thought afterwards be might know tmore ahout 1t thun I dkl, and I would not inter- fere with a fair trial of the xperiment. Ife etil} £eeina to have that belief, and is honest in i, do not helleve it can succeed, and probably almont sll Republicana bave the same fecling, There {8 probably not a man here who can nnderstand how ove can be thoroughly fm- bued with that notion. We must remember that tlia truth fs never spokeh in the White Houee: The President never has an oppor- tunity of heariog the truth, When neople go to the White Hotse o ask favors they natural- 1y say to the Prestdent that he ls all right snd that the people arewith him and are supportin him, ~They certainly would -never think their chatce of obtaining an offico any better If they should may to the President: *You are ail wrong in your policy, and the people 2ro op- H:wl o you.” " If a iman wanis a Post-Oflice Iu ogtown he Is very sure not to adopt the Intter theory, Mr. Vau Buren tobl au fntimate friend in 1840 that yon can never hear the truth fn tho White House. Tao fllustrate, Mr. Van Huren sald: “Tho next morning after clection § woke up with as firin & conviction that I kad been ro- elected President as that 1 was to have my breakfast. I had been told by everybody that it was it right, and that I was sure of o good majority. [ did not fimd out that I had been beaten until a fortnight later.” Thero was Embuhly nut soother mun In the United tates over 21 yesrs of age who had not known for three montha previous to theclection that Mr. Van Buren was beaten. 1 have ap- peared in the unusual role of paclficator. Peo- ple have come to me and remonstrated againat the President's course, and I huve said, Wait a little while and see how it will work. That has been tho attitude of the Republican party in Congress, It Is strango that the President dovs Bot ece the truo state of thingw, 1t is snld that the President Is to bu commended for with- drawing the troops from the Statesof Loulsiana and South Caroling. 1 do not sco how any one Ia to b cotnmended for sending 100 men from one barracks to snother, or for not sendinz them. In on of the fall conventlons in a great Btate the orutor sald that the Preskient was to be pralsed because he withdrew the tmoy-m and In another purt of the smine speech he sald the President wus obliged to do it. I do not see whut merit it I8 for & mon to do what he is oblized to do. 1 aman kicks me down-stairs it cannot he any great imerit in me because [ go down. Auotnér tonfc I may mention is : CIVIL-SERVICE REPORIL * This {s generally fgnored in Washington.

Of course it inust be considered thay he has a Cabinet o malority of whom when appointed were vot known os Republicans, I think that will have to be recognized, and that it will sova be. The Presldent will soon have to elect with which of the two great partios bo will go, By next February he will havo to decide whether he will take the tepublicans nto his counscls or Joln the Democrats.
