Appeal of Governor Coke TO the
President.
Protection Promised Against the
Mexican Banditti.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.--'rhe fol-
lowing telegram was received TOT day
from the governor ofTeXas;
Austin, Texas, March 80.
To His Exeellency U. S. Grant, President of
the United States ~
SIR-The depredations of organized
bands ofrobDers from the republic of
Mexico have of late increased in FREE
quency, and already to so great an ex-
tent that it threatens the depopulation
of the lower Rio Grande country. The
alarm III the country between the Nue.
ces and Rio Grande consequent upon
these raids, in which our people are
ruthlessly murdered and their proper
ty forcibly taken by these foreign des.
peradoes, is widespread, and unless
relieved by some assurances of protec-
ton must result in general breakup
OF the settlements.
On the Goth of this month large
party of these robbers penetrated the
Interior as far rs within eighteen miles
of Corpus Christi, robbing stores and
ranches, and numbering and capturing
citizens, and capturing and destroying
the United States mail. | appeal to
your excellency for protection for the
people of that country against these
outlaws from Mexico, since they have
been of almost weekly occurrence for
several months past, and are increas-
ing in force and boldness. The citi-
zens of that country have been COM
PEELED for the most part to move to the
towns for protection, and no security
exists outside of these corporations for
life or property, and the people in the
towns even hold themselves in con-
slant readiness for defense.
trust that your eXcellency will deem
Improper to give security to the people
on the Rio Grande border, i'm view of
the assurance now give you that an
extreme necessity exists for it.
Very respectfully,
RICHARD Coke,
Governor of Texas.
The secretary of war seat the follow
ing answer: So.
WASHINGTON, March 81.
To the Governor OF Texas:
The president being absent, your
telegram has been sent to me. Orders
will be given to the military authori-
ties to take immediate steps toward
the protection of the people of Texas
on the Mexican frontier. 81

THAT distinguished patriot and high
toned christian statesman, George f..
Spencer, senator from Alabama, is
likely to prove no exception to the
rule that governs the conduct of the
christian statesman of his party, and
will probably have an investigation
into the manner of his election in
1872. 1t is said that there will be
no trouble in proving that money was
freely used to procure his election.
