March Goth:
To His EXccIlency, L. s Grant,
| President of the United States {:
Sir-Depredations OF organized bands
of robbers from the Republic Of Mex
leo have of late Increased in frequency
and atrocity, which threatens the de
population of the lower Rio Grande
country. The alarm in the country
between Neuces and the Rio Grande,
consequent upon these raids, in which
our people are ruthlessly murdered
and their property forcibly 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 settle
ments. On the 25th inst. large
| party of these robbers penetrated the
interior as far as to within twelve
miles of Corpus Christi, rohbing store s
and ranches and numbering and cap
turing citizens, and capturing and
| destroying the United States mails.
| appeal to your Excellency for pro-
| lection for the people of that country
against these Invasions of outlaws
from Mexico, ~since they have been
almost of weekly occurrence for sew
| eral months past, and are increasing
in force and b0ldess. The citizens Of
that country have been compelled for
| the most part to move to the towns
| for protection, and no security exists
outside of these corporations for life or
lh'pSi'S anu 'Ilt ISOple Ill lne towns
| even hold themselves in constant
readiness for defense. l trust your
EXcellency will deem it proper to
give security to the people on the Rio
Graude border, in view of the assur-
amce 1 now give you that an extreme
necessity exists for it.
Very Respectfully,
RICHARD COKE,
Governor of Texas.
The Secretary of War, in the absence
of the President, replied to the tele-
gram, saying to the Governor that
orders will be given to the military
authorities 10 take immediate steps
toward the protection of the people of
| Texas on the Mexican frontier.

TIE report OF the proceedings Of the
general council in another column, is
interesting r.ading tor taxpayers. The
mayors salary has been fixed at $1,000,
instead Of $1,000, IS suggested by tie
APPEAL, and the first move toward the
lavying # q rsnc anus tax Of fifty cents
on the one hundred dollars, has been
made. We have also report
on the Nic1lson pavement scrip
deficiency, which pronounces the
mayor neither gully Of forgery, Of
changing entries IN Tie fnan-
cisl books Of the city, or using
his official position for his person-
a. bsI eft. Bot the committee
also dads that either 1913 or S26Ol 81 Of
scrip Was stolen, and that the mayor
has b,el c1guizant Of the fact fer over
a year, and yet has maie no attempt
to recover it, or arrest and pun
ish the thief. This the mayor
admits, 10 communication following
ths commttes's Eepor, reminding the
genera council, however, tSar he not
only knew it then, but that on the
twell ly-seventh Of October, 1874,
he reported tie fact Of the
theft to the couhcil, discharged
th5 person suspected of having stolen
the scrip, suggested q thorough examin-
stion, such as the reporting committee
has at last made, and tbathe would stand
between the city and loss. This being
admitted, the blame, if any, rests with
the council They should have p1shed
their inquiries promptly after the
twenty-seventh Of October, 1874, and
