The Texas papers complain loudly of
the depredations of Mexican grcasers
upon the cattle heards of that State
The Brownsville .Ssntinol declares that
one firm has lost nearly two millions of
dollars by these thieves, while other
stock raisers have lost in like manner
The firm referred to, it says, branded in
the years 1866, '67, '6S, over AZ, 900
calves. In 1869 they employed fifty
mon--each man with relay of ten
horses-5O0 in all. These men rode
fast and constantly ; they secured the
whole country from the Rio Grande to
the San Antonio river aud after the
most rigid search they collected As, 600
head of cattle, and these including the
branding Of 1869, which amounted to
about 10000. During the whole period
the firm sold 900 head of cattle. The
increase of four years amounted to S.
600. The actual number collected fell
10000 short of the increase. The loss
cannot by any possibility be less than
40, 900 head. Those we're the very best.
The marauders pick the best. They
took the faitest and sironget because
they would bear fast driving. Their
value in the New Orleans market would
have been 500 per head, or 80, 400, 900
