President Grant, to-day, in conversa-
ton with the writer hereof, remarked in
ropiy SC o question, that he was some
what amused lately ut the newspaper
statements of what he would do in rela-
ton to the recent outrages by armed
bands of Mexicnns invading the Texas
frontier. Such statements were inven-
tions, as he had not, since these events,
expressed his views to any person-not
even to the Secretary of State, who, like
himself, had been absent from the city.
1t WAS already known to the public, that
orders had been issued to the military
for the protection Of our citizens on the
frontier; but in addition TO this, nothing
had been done. The Government was
not yet fully advised of the extent of the
outrages, although it had been officially
informed of the arrest Of mail carrier
and the burning of post office by the
invaders. The Mexican Government had
repeatedly been reminded of outraees
heretofore committed by Mexicans on
citizens of the United States, both in
Mexico and on United States soil, and
would hear from this Government in d
short time concerning those more re-
Gently committed, through the Depart
ment of State. There would be n con-
sultation with the Secretary of State on
this subject, and probably it would be
brought to the attention Of the Cabinet:
but in the meantime, oil newspaper state
ments M to the action of the Government
would be mere speculation. We must,
he remarked, determine hereafter what
is proper to be done in the premises; he
could see no reason for apprehension of
war between the two countries, but of
course no one could tell what might take
place in the future. Nothing, however,
would be done by this Government to
provoke such n result. The President.
on being asked whether there was any
truth in the rumor about the resignation
or removal of Commissioner Douglass,
said he. had no such knowledge, and
therefore the rumor was untrue. The
PRESIDENT was also questioned in regard
to other rumored removals, when he said
Mr. johnson, the Commissioner Of. Gus
toms, would be retained; 80 with Comp
troller Taylor, of whose honesty md up
rtghtness he was fully assured; and also
of Land Comptroller Brodhead. The
President said there was vacancy in the
office of Minister to Peru, occasioned .by
the resignation Of Mr. Francis Thomas,
of Maryland, but he had not vet selected
his successor.
