Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Some time since
a committee of prominent Germans in this
city, headed by S. Wolf, Recorder of Deeds,
visited upon President Grant, and requested
the appointment of Mr.. Walthen as mem
Der of the Metropolitan Police Board. The
President promised to comply with their re-
qpest, aud stated that be knew Mr.. Wal
then 10 be worthy man, and that it gave
him great pleasure to crafty his German
fellow-citizens. After waiting several weeks
and finding that the President was tardy in
responding to their reasonable request, a
second committee, composed of S. Wolf P.
Goepel, F. Gerhardt, A. Cluss and A. Hart,
again waited on Grant, and this time de-
manded MIR. Walthen's appointment. They
were assured that his appointment was GER
tain. Notwithstanding these repeated
promises, the President, few weeks since,
reappOinted all the old members Of the
Board, and left the German applicant out in
the cold. The Germans Of Washington are
justly indignant, and none more so than
Recorder Wolf, who has always been a
warm supporter Of the administration.

Elements have been burned and plundered,
and in some cases women and children

until the house they were in was burned
under them.
There was a great cutlery against the
Government at Buenos Ayres for neglect 10

ran so high that the members refused TO
hear the explanations of the Ministers, who
left The house in disgust, and threatened to
resign. The Indian invasion has removed

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The HeraLds Ra-
leigh special says seventy-seven counties
have been heard from, and Meriman is now
over LOO ahead. The remaining counties
will probably be b ard from to-day, and
will increase this majority considerably.
The Times Raleigh special says Caldwell
has ], 434 majority in seventy-four counties,
and the returns from the remaining counties
will probably reduce the majority to three
hundred, but the official count only will de-
termine the result.
The Tribune, World and Sun still claim the
election of Merriman ever Caldwell, and the
gains in the Congressional districts already
reported.
LATER-A Raleigh special says that from
the latest figures the majority for Merriman
will not be far from two thousand. The
Republicans now yield the election.
WILMINGTON, n. c., June 5.-The
Democrats have fears, as reports Of Radi-
cal gains come in. The Democrats have
an overwhelming majority of the Legisla-

The following official majorities for Mer-
riman have been received here: Catawba

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The Times Ra

counties give Caldwell for Governor 1866
majority, which it is believed cannot be
overcome, as the Democrats will not get
the vote of 1870. Merriman says he will
contest the election before the Legislature
unless the 1Republican majority is more

NEW YORK, Aug. 1t is stated that
Gerritt Smith, having personally inves,igat-
ed the cases ofseveral Ku-KluX imprisoned
at the Albany Penitentiary, has petitioned
the President to pardon and release three
of them, who, evidently, were victims Of
circumstances.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Gerritt Smith
has visited the Ku-Klux prisoners at Albany
and urges clemency in the case of Samuel
G.. Brown, aged sixty, who pleaded guilty
under bad advice, and Hezekialf Porter,
aged nineteen, who is dying, and David
Collins. Smith says in his letter to Grant
that Sh0tswell, one of the North Carolina
men, is defiant, and scorns pardon, and is
studying law. Smith, however, suggests
that these pardons should be postponed I'M
till after the elections as it might be thought
clemency was prompted by interested mo-
tives. The letter is quite short, and so cur
iously written that the entire force of ex-
perts in the Attorney Generals Office were
required to put it in shape so that Grant
would be able TO master its purport.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Aug. 2.-The
United States Commission is in session to-
DAY. There is much excitement on the
mexican side of the river, and there are
rumors of desire 10 present trebutting
Iesumony. The Matamoras papers ask all
persons of Mexican extraction to refrain
from giving testimony to the Commission.
There have been some interesting develop
ments before the Commission as to the
Mexleans in Texas. Supposed agricultur-
allsts are actually assisting the cattle thieves.
The efforts of Texan owners to recover
before the Mexican civil authorities are use
less. Cattle stealing has been growing
since the rebellion. The cattle thieves seize
and detain passers till the raids sue
coed.
Foreign merchandise in bond in this
place for Mexico prior to July l is allowed
70 go to the interior of Mexico under the
old tariff rates. Z
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Aug. 2.-Lieut.
burke, OF the State mounted police, and
others, were before the United States Com
mission to-day. Their evidence shows an
appalling record of murders. Numbers of
army officers, soldiers and couriers have
been killed for plumber. State officers and
custom officers have been killed and the
bodies mangled. Many have been killed
within the limits of Brownsville. Officers
have been besieged at the mouths
OF the Rio Grande, and murdered
by parties crossing in full daylight.
Nothing is safe from the thieves, who are
armed with Spencer and Winchester rifles.
Officials have been shot at daily, and droves
OF three or four hundred cattle 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 at Camargo were
refused, the cattle rebranded, and the in
spectors forced to register the newest
brands. Cortinas' influence is aIl-powerful
to-day with the Mexican population in
Texas.
A War of Races
is looked on as inevitable. The most open
insult and disgrace is heaped upon private
parties. The general feeling among the
people is that they must protect themselves.

tify in any open courts
