Aid.

The President received the following

March Both:
His Excellency, u. S. Grant, Presi-
dent of the United States-Sir: The
depredations of organized bands of
robbers from the Republic of Mexico,
have OF late increased in frequency and
atrocity, which threatens the depopu-
lation of the Lower Rio Grande
try. The alarm in the country be-
tween Neuces and the Rio Grande con-
sequent upon these raids, i'm which our
people are ru:hlessly murdered and
their property tOrcibly taken by these
foreign desperadoes, is wide spread,
and unless relieved by some assurance
of protection must result in a general
break up of the settlements. On the
18th of this month a large party OF
these robbers penetrated into tile in
terror as far rs within Is miles of Cor
pus Christi, robbed stores and ranches,
murdered and captured citizens, and
destroyed the United States mail. i
appeal to your Excellency for protec
ton for the people of that country
against these invaSions of outlaws
trcm Mexico, since they lave been of
almost weekly occurrence for several
mouths past and are increasing in force
and holiness. The citizens of that
country have been compelled for the
most part to move to towns for prOtec-
ton, and no security exists outside of
these towns for life or property, and
the people i'm the towns even hold
themselves III constant readiness for
I defense. trust your Excellency will
deem it proper to give security tn the
people of The Rio Grande 10. ders, in
view of the assurance now given you
that an extreme necessity exists tor IL.

The Secretary of War, in the alb
sence of the President, replied to the
telegram, saying to the Governor that
orders will he given to the military
authorities to take immediate steps to-
ward the pro ection of the people of
Texas on the Mexican frontier.
The Money neutrality-suspicious. Or
Wall street.
New YORK, March 81.
Speaking of the commotion on Wall
street Yesterday and its causes, the
Times says: 1t appears that Daniel
Drew for some time past has been sell
ing securities chiefly calls and strad-
dies ON stocks and puts ON gold. The
recent large advance in stock induced
some holders to present their privi-
leges for liquidation, and mp TO yester-
day the calls presented wee imniedi-
ately honored. The handsome profits
accru ng from the heavy advance Of
money, induced others to demand the
delivery OF stock called for il. their
privileges. The large decline In gold
has caused holders Of puts TO ask for
a place To put gold, but Drew did not
put in an appearance, and anxious in
quirers were blandly assured by the
brokers that Drew was Ill and unable
to leave his residence to attend To
business. This was q great disap-
pOintment, and not a few were uncour
teous enough to express doubts as to
the illness of Drew. The first effect on
the stock market of Drew's absence
from the street was to depress prices
and generally unsettle values, but as
suon as it Was understood that any
permanent default on his part would
place a number of spectators Operat.
ing on his calls short of stock, the feel.
ing changed and prices began to ad.
vance, just as the Stock Exchange
was closed for the day. The effect in
the gold-rOOm was even more decided
than in the Stock Exchange. and oper
atoms there are generally interpreted
az meaning disruption Of the c.iques
lately manipulating the market.
