TEXAS.
Murder, Rapine and Cattle Rob
berry on an Unheard-Of Scale
The Mexican Com
mission.
If the People are not Protected
by the Government They
will Protect Themselves.

BROWNSVILLE, August 4.-The United
States Commission IS in session here to-
day. There Is much excitement on the
Mexican side Of the river, and there are
rumOrs of a desire to present rebutting
testimony. The MatamOras papers ask
all persons Of Mexican extraction to re-
frain from giving testimony to the Com
mission. There have been some inter
esting developments before the Com
mission as to MeXicans in Texas. It is
supposed that the agricultUrists are ac-
lively assisting the cattle thieves. The
efforts of Texan owners to recover their
stolen cattle before the Mexican civil
authorities are useless. Cattle stealing
has been going on ever since the rebel
lion. Cattle thieves seize and detain all
passers till raids succeed. Foreign mer-
chandise in bond in this place for Mexi-
co, prior to the first Of July, is allowed
to 20 to the interior Of Mexico under the
old tariff rates.
A Heruld special says that Lieutenant
Burke, of the State mounted police, and
others, were before the United States
Commission to-day. Their evidence
shows an appalling record of murders.
Numbers Of army officers, soldiers and
cOuriers have been killed and their
bodies mangled; men have been killed
within 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 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 ofBrownsville. Taunts have
been thrown back across the river, that
the thieves will take as many cattle as
they want. State officials claiming
cattle at ComargO were refused, and the
cattle re-branded, and inspectors forced
to register the newest brands. COrtinas'
influence fs au-powerful to-day with the
Mexican population. in Texas a war of
races is looked upon as inevitable. The
most open insult and disgrace is heaped
upon private parties, and the general
feeling among the people that they must
protect themselves renders lonely ran
cherOs afraid to testify in any open court.

SALT LAKE.
The GeHtiles, Liberals and MOrmOns at
War-ROugh Times Ahead.

SALT LAKE, August 4.-There was a
Liberal Union Gentle meeting last
evening in East Temple street. The
meeting having been broken up another
meeting Immediately convened at Lib
eral Institute. Armed guards were
placed at the doors, and some of the
Mormon mob attempting to enter were
roughly handled. Several got In un-
known, commencing a disturbance, and
were instantly elected, one of them was
thrown out of the window. Stones were
thrown and glass broken but the speak
ers went on, and the meeting was
finished with music and singing amid
wild enthusiasm. All the nOn-MOr-
mon, and in some instances MormOns
condemn the outrage of last night as of
the grOssest character and disgrace to
the whole country. 1t is the exciting
topic of conversation to-day, and occa-
siOns more bad feeling than has been
known here for years. The Salt Lake
Tribune will tomorrow make a call for
troops to protect the people.

The Rebel Cuban PriVateer Pioneer
Seized by the Government
A Scene.

NEW YORK, August A Newport,
Rhode Island, dispatch states that the
United States Marshal, accompanied by
Captain Richie of the revenue cutter
MOccasin, went aboard the Cuban'schoOn-
er Pioneer yesterday and took charge Of
her by order of President Grant for the
violation of neutrality laws. Lieuten-
ant Chaureon of the Cuban service de-
manded the marshals papers in the
name of the Cuban Republic, which
were read TO him, Captain Ritchie in
dOrsing them, and informed Lieuten-
ant Chaureon that he recognized the
marshals 5 authority. Lieutenant Chau-
reOn protested IN the name OF the Gu
ban Republic against the seizure of the
Pioneer. He fired a gun, threw his
sword overheard, nailed the Cuban col
ors to the mast and with his officers and
crew left the vessel in the hands OF the
marshal. The United States officers
then unloaded the guns, and the PiO-
neer will be dOcked and dismsntled.
The case will be brought before the court
at Providence on the twelfth instant.

NOT A LUNATIC.
Return Of q once Prominent Banker to
his Family and Friends,

NEW YORK, August IA once prom
inent banker Of this city yesterday made
his reappeaTance after sixteen months
absence. during which he has been con-
fined in the BloOmingdale lunatic
asylum, though to all appearances, and
according to the admission of the keep
ers, he is unquestionably sane. He was
arrested last year while sitting at his
breakfast table and was taken without a
word of explanation to the asylum. Al
though subjected to no special indignity
he says that the treatment of the insane
by the keepers is simply revolving.
He kept a minute diary of all
that occurred during his incarcer-
alton, and has given it to his
lawyer, who will make it the basis of an
affidavit on which to begin proceedings
in behalf of the gentleman named and
three ladies who will be brought before
the court on a writ Of habeas corpus,
next week. The affidavits of these per
sons, and of q former keeper at the asy-
lum, will also be presented to the grand
jury for the purpose ofsecuring an inves-
tigation into the management of the in
stitutiOn. The gentleman who was dis
missed yesterday was never treated brU-
tally during his entire Imprisonment,
and his manner and general intelligence
prohibit the belief that he is of un-
sound mind. He does not yet know by
whom he was incarcerated, or on whose
certificate, but his lawyer visit
ed the asylum at late hour yesterday
to examine the papers in his case, and
those of the three ladies alluded to, in
whom the gentleman released takes a
sympathetic interest, and who are de-
clared by him to be sane.

DIAMONDS.
Excitement in Denver, Colorado The
Stones From San Francisco.

DENVER, August Reliable parties
here state that diamond and other pre-
cious stones exhibited in San Francisco
were brought from some point south of
this place, and taken through here to
San Francisco. It is said that they were
found somewhere near the northern line
Of New Mexico and Arizona. In con-
firmatiOn of this story, parties in San
Francisco are telegraphing their friends
in Denver, asking the distance from
Denver to the diamond fields, but it
seems impossible TO give the desired in
formation.

car, the other day, fell under the car
and was fearfully mangled. As soon as
he could speak he called piteously for
his mother, and messenger was sent
at once to bring her to him. On her
arrival she hung over the dying boy
in agony of grief.
Mother" he whispered, with pain
full effort, ~ sold four newspapers

child was for the poor working
mother, whose burdens he was striv
ing to tighten when he lost his life.

and fcold, not exceedingly so, how
everE At about five o'clock Wednes-
day evening we were visited by a fall
of sect, which lasted some fifteen
min, les, when snow set in and con-
tinusd falling until midnight. Thurs
day snorning the surrounding country
presented beautiful and uncommon
sighA for these parts. The ground
was] covered with snow to the depth
of ax inch or oyer, and icicles were
hanging from wherever there was any
thing to hang from, Thursday was
the oldest day we have had this sea-
son, knd as it was much more comfor-
tabl| sitting by cosy fire than me-
andfHing about in the chilly open air,
only Chose who had necessary business
to attend to stirred abroad. The snow
did not entirely disappear from the
ground until this morning, when rain
commenced falling and continues as
we to press. tits feared the freeze
will ill many of the fruit trees.

that resignation is not among his viz
