WASHINGTON, October 10.
Colonel Robb, OF Georgia, and Mr.. Savage,
of California, two of the commissioner ap-
pointed by the President to take testimony
relative to depredatlons on the Rio Grande,
having returned to Washington to-day called
upon the President and had a long interview
with him. Congress at its last session appro-
prlated six thousand dollars TO pay the ex.
penses of the commissioners. The President
was much Interested in the narrative of these
gentlemen. who will prepare a final report for
transmission to Congress, and was gratlaed at
| the manner in which they had transacted the
business with which they were entrusted.
The iucursloDs by armed Mexican bands into
Texas have been numerous, and have con-
tinued ever since 1852. They have, since that
| time, driven horses and cattle estimated to be
| worth several millions of dellars from Texan
| ranches across the river into Mexico, where the
| plumber Is sold to soldier and citizen. Gene
| raj Cortino, who ID not at present In active
| military service, but on waiting orders, ID rep
| resented to be one OF the most active instiga-
tors of the incursions, by which he largely
| profits. The Texans while endeaVor1ng- to
| drive of the thieves are sometimes killed by
| the superior numbers of the Mexican bands,
while occasionally the latter suffer In like man
ner. Owing to these frequent lncnr.ions The
border counties are In q Stale OF excitement.
| There Is only one company OF cavalry on
the frontier, which Is of little use, con.
sidering that the distance to be guarded
Is eight hundred miles from The mouth OF the
| Rio Grande to the extreme settlement. The
Infantry Is located along at intervals. The
distance is nearly three hundred miles from
Fort Brown to Ringgold barracks, Will only
one company Intervening. Some of The SUI
ferers by the Mexican raids travelled two
hundred miles to give their testimony and
express their great satisfaction that prellml-
nary measures had been taken not only to
project, but to indemnify them for losses.
General McGook, commanding on The Rio
Grande, corrobOrated the statement Of the
witnesses as to the boldness with which the
raids are made, and testified as TO his inablll-
ty, with an insufficient force, to give the re-
quired protection. There is no reason to
doubt that, the President, 10 submitting the
report, will accompany it with a strong re-
to protect our citizsns on the border In their
lives and property.

IN MEMORLAM.

At a meeting of the German Friendly soci-
ETY., held on the evening Of the 9th instant, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani.
mously adopted: 81.
We are thus early called upon to mourn the
death OF another Of our fellow-members. George
a.. Gruber departed this life on the soth Of Sep.
TENDER last. at the age OF forty eight Jesfs. BE
became q member Of our society on the 9th Of
Nay, 1855. Bis well-ordered life gave promise OF
q long career Of usefulness, while his kind and
unootTusive disposition had endeared to him q
goodly number OF friends.
To us his fellow. members is left the mournfnl
duty to record our sense Of his loss, which we. In
common with the community, have sustained ty
the untimely death OF q good man aud useful
citizen. and 10 give assurance to his afflicted
family Of our deep sympathy. In their bereave.
ment. Therefore,
Rescued, That We sincerely mourn the death
Of our orother.m ,mber, the late George b.
Resolued. That q blank page ia our Minute
Book ba Inscribed TO his memory.
Rss0IUed, That q copy Of this preamble and
these resolutions be furnished by our secretary Il

The Reform vote then a............. 8,S
Take the one-thlrd Of 20, 39l and We have 81
Making a Conservative majority Of.

Making q Conservative majority Of. 1873
1t Is not, therefore, correct In fact that both
wings of the Republican party cast more than
double The vote Of the Reform or Conservative.
1t is to be remembered also that, with every
contest, our strength has been Increased, and
that there are large numbers even OF the COL
ored men property owners, who, appalled, at
the corrupttons disclosed, and dissatisfied at
the nominations made, would readily rally to
the suppor of any ticket which promised re-
form. But even II this we're not 80, principles
are worth more than men. The Courier cannot
sacrifice its judgment OF political principle or
right Tor the poor satisfaction Of discriminating
between tickets which our contemporary itself
admits are ''bsd enough aud 'infamous." This
We believe to be the correct view, and In &C.
cordance with the sentiments of the commu-
nifty. At any rate, 1t will be the basis of our
scLion. 1t is for the people to determine
whether they will make an honest and earnest
effort at redemption. This Journal will, at
without being allured by the promises OF either
wing Of the Republican patty, urge upon the
community the necessity of trying TO elect to
the Legislature those who would properly re.
present the brain, the money and the charac-
ter of the country; or, In the language OF the
executive committee, where all classes shall
be faithfully and intelligenlly represented"
AS we huve heretofore said, I'VE do not de-
sire 10 dictate what should be done by our
neonle. We have, however, firm convictions,
and one of these convictions lie, that principle
and interest both demand that a single course
should he pursued, The union OF honest men
for the purpose Of obtaining honest govern
ment should be effected. 1ncompetency aud
knayery should both be alike rejected, and an
earnest, honest effort should be made 10 save
the Slate and to rescue our people,"
