SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-Mayor
Bryant has given positive orders
not to admit kearney inside the
doors of the Mayors office. This
action, the Mayor states, is in con-
sequence of Kearney's wilful dis.
tortion of what TRANSFERRED at the
interview granted to Kearney
few days ago, when the pretense
for the Visit was to present Il plan
for the alienation of the distress OF
unemployed men. The Mayor
says he is ready and willing at any
time TO receive any citizen who
may call upon him upon business,
but he decidedly objects to give au-
dience second time to man who
wilfully misrepresents every word
that is uttered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The sub
Com mittee on Military affairs yes
terday afternoon examined Col.
w. II. Shafter, of the Twenty
fourth Regiment of Infantry, com.
mandng the district of Nueces,
Texas, in relation to affairs on the
Rio GraDde border. The Colonel
mentioned the cases of six orseven
persons, murdered by Indian and
Mexican raiders in 1o77, and said
the number of raids was much
smaller during the past two years
than previously. The object of the
incursions was plumber. In his ex.
petitions into Mexico he had al
ways been treated with great cor.
diality by Mexican officers and by
the respectable citizens of
the frontier towns. He did
not think there were any
persons on our side of the Rio
Grande who assisted the thieves.
| The Mexicans expressed q strong
desire to stop the disturbances
which produced SO much hard
feeling on both sides of tue river.
Mexican troops, on tive or three
occasions, have started in pursuit
of the raiders, but their movements
were so tardy that they failed.
The most friendly and cordial re-
lations exist between the military
officers of both sides, so far as pro-
fessions go. Gen. DiaZ was trying
to prevent raids and be q good
neighbor, but his practice has not
amounted to much.

way scheme have not been idle
during recess. A recent canvass
made by some of them discloses
the fact, they say, that 1856 Repre-
scntatives in the House and a ma
jority of 10 in the Senate will vote
for Col. Scott's bill in the form in
which it has been introduced.
