REPORT OF THE AMERICAN i@ BORDER COMMISSION.

Washington, June 16. The
 Commissioners to inquire into out
 rageS on the Texas border ar: rived here this morning, and had
 an interview with Secretary Fish during the day. They deny the reports that Texans make raids into Mexico, and say that there
 is nothing there to induce them
 to plunder their poverty-stricken
 neighbors. All the citizens care
 for is protection of their persons
 and property against incursiOns
 from MeXicanS and Indians. Af-
 ter the Commissioners went up
 fhe Rio Grande to take testimony
 Mexicans on the lower part of
 that river crossed and began their thieving operations, for which they were pursued and chastised by Col. Mckenzie. The Texas Legislature instituted inquiry into Mexican and Indian wrongs upon citizens of that State, when some of the most respectable resi- 1 dents of NueceS Valley went to 1 Austin, and gave stronger testi l mony than they had previously l given before the Commission. The Commissioners represents the amount of damages, direct and consequential, to those who have suffered by these raids, at between fifty and sixty millions of dollars. Five hundred petitions, in the way of complaints, with specified tiOns, were presented to the Com- missioners, and these were SUD- ported by sixteen hundred afhda- wits. Many of the petitioners are to be men of fine edu- cation and of most respectable character. 1
