THE TEXAS BORDER.
The Mexican Depredations along the
Rio Grande. ..Excitement over the
Investigation of rhe U. s. Commits.
sion.

New YORK, August 4.-A Herald spe.
cial from Brownsville, Texas, says the
United States Commission in session to.
day is much excited on the Mexican side
of the river, over the rumors Of the desire
to present rebutting testimony. Mata.
moras papers ask all persons of Mexican
extraction to refrain from giving testi.
mony. to the Commission. There has been
some interesting Developments before the
Commission as to the operations Of the
Mexicans in Texas. 1t is supposed agrl-
culturalists ore actually assisting the cat
tie thieves. Efforts Of Texan owners to
receive justice from the Mexican civil
authorities are useless. Cattle stealing
has been increasing since the rebellion.
The cattle thieves seize and detain passers.
by until the raiders succeed. Foreign
merchandise in bonds In this place for
Mexico prior 10 July 1st, is allowed TO 60
to interior Mexicans under the old tariffs.
Lieut.. Burke, Of the State mounted po.
lice, and others were before the United
States Commission to day. Their evil
dence shows an appalling record Of the
murder OF a number Of army officers, sol.
diers and couricrs, who have been killed
for plumber. The State officials and Gus.
tom House officers have been killed with.
in the limits of Brownsville. Officers
have been besieged at the mouth Of the
Rio Grande and murdered by parties
crossing in full daylight Nothing is safe
from thieves, who are armed with Spencer
and Winchester rifles. The officials have
been shot at daily, and droves Of three
or four hundred cattle were driven
over the river within eight or ten miles Of
Brownsville. Taunts have been thrown
back across the river that the thieves will
take as many cattle as they want. State
officials claiming cattle in Camargo were
refused, the cattle rebranded and the in.
spectors forced to register the newest
brands. Cortina's influence is all power.
Iul 10 day with the population in Texas,
A war of races is looked upon as newt
able. The most open insult and disgrace
is heaped upon private parties. The
general feeling among the people is that
they must protect themselves. Residents
on lonely ranches are afraid TO testify in
any open court.
