GREELEY IN ENGLAND. is Comments of the London Press on Mr. Grecley’s Nomination. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 6, 1872. ‘The London papers this morning comment upon ‘the nomination of Horace Greeley for President of the United States by the Liberal Republican Con- vention at Cincinnati. The Times says the nomination of Mr. Greeley is farcical, and his election is hopeless. It, however, ‘Kills President Grant’s chance for re-election, and makes certain the nomination of a candidate by the | democrats. The Post argues that Mr. Greeley will be succeas- ful if his nomination is endorsed by either of the other conventions yet to be held; but such action, the Post thinks, is impossible. ‘The Telegraph says the nomination of Mr. Greeley directly concerns England, because he is hostile to the Treaty of Washington and is a bigoted protec- ‘tionist. The News praises Mr. Greeley, but doubts his fit- neas for the position of Chief Magistrate of a great nation. ~ AMERICAN SECURITIES IN ENGLAND. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon.

Yesterday morning Coroner Schirmer took some ‘testimony in the case of Mrs. Cornelia Terry, the ‘widow woman arrested on Saturday last by Detective Bennett, of the Eleventh precinct, charged with throwing her infant child into the vault of remises No. 316 Rivington street. In a conversa- ion with Omcer Bennett Cornelia denied being the mother of a babe, but subsequently confessed that ie had thrown a stillborn child into the 8! not knowing what else to do with | the iy. as she was desirous of concealing her shame from her relatives and friends. During the interview Cornelia also stated that the father of | the child was Charles Simmons, a married man, employed in the Continental Bauk Note Company, where she had also been engaged. Deputy Coroner Cushman made a post-mortem examination on the body of the child and found that it had been born alive. Death had resulted from asphyxia, but the doctor could not say that it had been done intentionally. The woman is a pris- oner in Bellevue Hospital.

Manifesto of the Liberal Republicans of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, May 6, 1872. The liberal republicans of this State, through their chairman, have issued tie following manifesto :— TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA :— The National Convention of the liberal republi- cans, composed of delegates from every State in the Union, has presented a national ticket and a de- claration of principles to the country, and now ap- peals to the enlightened patriotism of the whole People to give success to the great political movement #0 auspiciously inaugurated at Cincinnati. Prompt and thorough State, county and district organization is the first necessity of liberal republicanism. The Pennsylvania delegation to Cincinnati directed the delegates from each Senatorial district in the State i select a member of the state Central Committee, ‘thd forwatded the nameé of the chairman. It is important that the names be returned without de- PANIES H SRR friends of liberal epublicany iam to organize an ex- ecutive committee in évety county as Bpepally as possible, and report the names of the chairman and secretary to the State Committee. ~~ eee The principles declared by the Cincinnati Con- vention are free from all ambiguity or dissembling. That they are in full accord with the settled con- viction of an overwhelming majority of the Ameri- can people cannot be doubted by any intelligent observer of the expressions of popular opinion, and it will not be denied that Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown most 4tly represent the political faith so manfully and unanimously avowed. A few men of the past, and more who profit by the present, will confront the national de- parture to fraternily and peace and the su- premacy of the civil laws in all the inte- gral parts of our free f iebisep aid They will resist the cfort to unite all patviotic citizens in one grand struggle to restore the Union to an honest and economical administration, to tessen the bur- dens on our industry and beg and to enforce the great demands of liberty aad law; but they cannot prevail. With the prejudices of political organiza- tion we have nothing to do. Compelled to a sever- ance from a party of whose better record the liberal Tepublicans are justly proud, we advance to meet the supreme necessities of the nation, and invite the earnest co-operation of all, without sun- dering party affinities, who sincerely desire the regeneration of our national, State and municipal | governments. Revolutions take no steps backward. Organiza- tion, immediate and systematic, is our present and pressing duty. The struggle with arrogant and well-armed power will be desperate for a time, but the issue cannot be doubted. In this political demoralization of peace, as in the terrible trials of war, it will be solemnly decided that a government of the people, by the people and for the peopie, shall not perish from the earth, A. K. McCLURE, Chairman Liberal Republican State Committee. PHILADELPHIA, May 6, 1872. Mississippi Opinions of the Cincinnati Nominations. JACKSON, Misa., May 6, 1872. The Cincinnati nominations and platform are well received. The Mississippi democratic press are outspoken for co-operation with the liberal re- pudlicans. The Vicksburg Herald and Meridian Gazette, both leading democratic papers, say it is a good ticket. The Meridian Merc supports the ticket unqualifledly, saying it goes for Greeley and will not wait the action of the main clique or party. The Clarion, the State organ of the democratic party for years, says the platform and nominations pave the way for the union of all good men for the restoration of peace and prosperity throughout the South and the country at large. The colored vote is predicted for Greeley. Pennsylvania Labor Reform Convention. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 6, 1872. Delegates to the Labor Reform Convention are arriving in limited numbers. Appearances this morning were decidedly in favor of nominating candidates which the democracy at Reading would endorse without hesitancy. McClelland, McCalmont and Wight were prominent for the hapetretid ag A strong tide has, however, set in this evening in favor of the nomination of a gentleman holding no allegiance to either of the old parties, and the pro- ject may be carried. Richard Trevellick, J. 8S. Syl- vis, Hinchliffe, Cameron and others are looked for this evening as visitors, and their counsels are ex- pected to give strength to this movement. Strong protective resolutions will be offered and a fight made for their adoption, especially by the western counties. The Florida Gubernatorial Contest. TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 6, 1872, The appointment of J. R. Emmons, counsel for Governor Reed in the late gubernatorial contest, as Attorney General for the State of Florida, has been confirmed by the Senate. In the Assembly this morning Mr. Cessna moved that the impeachment charges agaiust Governor Reed be reconsidered, which was defeated. The Legislature adjourned sine die at twelve o'clock, noon, to-day. ‘There was great rejoicing at St. Augustine, and thirty-nine guns were fired in honor of Governor Reed's acquittal. Endorsing the Liberal Republican Con- vention In Tennessee. NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 6, 1872. The Liberal Republican Executive Committee will issue an address to-morrow to the people of Ten- nessee calling for a ratification mass meeting on the 20th inst. to put forth an electoral ticket in favor of Greeley and Brown. A local ratification meeting has been called for next Wednesday night.

Assaulting an Officor in the Discharge of His Duty. Patrick Harrigan, John Downey, Hugh Gray, James Kelly and a woman named Rose Kelly, it is alleged, were drunk and disorderly, on avenue D, on Sunday night, and made night hideous with i cries and demonstrations. Oficer Frattots Siecor, of the Eleventh precinct, attempted to disperse them, when he was attacked by a man called Jack Lone. The officer resisted with his club, but was stabbed twice in the face with a pocket knife. Officer Geary coming to his assist- ance, the two succeeded in capturing the entire party. Justice Scott disposed of the gang b; awarding them a six months’ sojourn on the Island. Lone was held in pat of $400 bail to answer for his asaault on tha WASHINGTON. The Alabama Claims Muddle Brought Before the House. Opinion Respecting the Extraordinary Con- ference at the State Department, A GRAVE MISTAKE COMMITTED. The President's Final Determination to Stand by our Case, The Anti-Grant Feeling Spreading Among Republicans. BLAINE OR BOUTWELL FOR PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, May 6, 1872. What is Thought and Said About the Extraordinary Conference on the Ala- bama Claims—Fernando Wood's Ar- raignment of the President. By common consent, irrespective of party feel- ing, the partisan gathering at the State Depart- ment, on Saturday morning, to discuss a vital international question from which every party con- sideration should have been excluded, is declared, imand out of Congress, to have been a grave mis- take—an error not surpassed in the whole course of treatment ofthe difference with Great Britain. When General Banks received an invitation to the State Department to discuss the Alabama claims, he was 80 confident that he had been addressed as a member of the Committee of Foreign Relations, in- stead of as a mere supporter of the administra- tion, that he approached his democratic colleagues and entered into conversation with them on the subject in such @ manner as left no doubt that he supposed them to be in possession of similar invi- tations. The ignorance of the democrats speedily notified General Banks of his error, but it was too late to retrieve tt. The Washington despatch of last night to the HERALD had been telegraphed back in full this morning and nearly everybody was prepared for Some allusion to the matter in the House to-day. But the impressive scene that attended Mr. Wood's arraignment of the Executive would have met the highest requirements of solemnity that could have imposed themselves upon a deliberative body on the most grave occasion. The question was approached and treated with great dignity by Mr. Wood, and though the rulings of the Speaker, supported by Mr. Bingham and the fealty of the majority, overbore the question of privilege that was supposed to give futhority for the speech, the Representative from New York gained his material point, and wona support for his argument that was not wholly par- tisan. ‘99d rose and said he had had the honor to en appointed, at the commencement of this Congress, by the Speaker a member of the Commit- tee on Foreign Affairs. He had discharged the duty faithfully and diligently, not omitting one meeting or avoiding any of the duties. The com- mittee from its nature was non-partisan. It hadno cognizance ot political subjects or questions of a party character. No discussions of this nature had ever taken place init. For himself, he had looked upon the grave questions relating to our intercourse with foreign nations as above party, and had always maintained that, on subjects so vital and delicate as those which involved the peace of the nation, no other considerations should be thought of other than those appertaining to the honor and interest of the United States. With such sentiments, upon which he had always acted as a member of the committee, he was the more as- tonished at the course which had been pursued to- wards him upon the occasion to which had risen to refer. On Friday morning last the Cabinet re- solved upon a meeting of the two Committees of Foreign Affairs of the two houses, with the democratic members of cach to be left out. At about two o'clock on that day the republican members of each committee re- ceived “commands” from the President to convene at the State Department at two o'clock the follow- ing morning. This order was signed by General 0. E. Babcock, thg military secretary of the Presi- dent. Promptiy at the hour each of the republican members attended, the President and Secre- tary of State present also. The Committee of Foreign Atfairs of this house had been thus called together by the President, and the three democratic members had been excluded from the meeting, By what authority does the Executive convene a committee of this house? and by what authority can a oommittee of this house be convened at all in part, and not as a whole? He charged, therefore, that the Preai- dent had grossly infringed the privileges of the House, and had invaded his rights as a member of the House and a member of the Committee of Foreign Affairs. A proceeding on the part of the Executive so extraordinary must have been prompted by some important consideration. It is impossible that at this late day the motive could have been merely for consultation on our present relations with England. Our ad- vice has never been sought before. Some higher object must have prompted the movement. Can it be that the Legislative Department is to be now invoked through the action of a partisan ma- jority to cover the intended retreat from our un- tenable and unjust position? Or is it designed to obtain Congressional countenance to some coup d@état which will require popular sup- port? Or is the small device an_ effort to prevent exposure, by the democratic opponents of the administration, of facts which may prove disastrous to the party in power as represented tn the government? Whatever may be the motive, I protess against this Executive interference with my rights as one of the representatives of the people, and denounce it as a usurpation and un- warranted invasion of the privileges of the House of Representatives. General Banks said this did not involve a question of privilege such as the House could take cogni- zance of. The Speaker said he did not see a question of privilege in it. General Banks said Mr. Wood was wrong in his assumption that there had been a meeting of the committee as such. Mr. Wood asked whether he (General Banks) had not had a notice for the meeting, as stated by him (Mr. Wood), and whether this notice had not been signed by General Babcock, the military secretary of the President, and whether he had not met the President and the republican members of the com- mittee there ? General Banks replied that he was invited to meet the Secretary of State at the State Depart- ment. Mr. Wood said he had asked General Banks ques- tions which he had not answered, and that he de- sired areply, 8 or no. General Banks admitted that he had been invited by a note from General Babcock, and that he had met the President and the members of the commit- tee as stated. Mr. Wood said he had, then, fully sustained his accusation. Comment was unnecessary. The Speaker ruled that there was no question of privilege. Mr. Wood said he had but one more word to say, and that was that he had sneceeded in cailing the attention of the House to the facts. He protested in the name of the people he represented. if the House did not see proper to vindicate its own in- tegrity and independence he could not help it. More than one monarch has lost his head for an attempt to overawe and improperly infinence the people's representatives, In this country we do not take off heads for such offences, but we do dethrone power in afiother way. That the davis not far distant when another ruler will take the place of the present cannot be doubted, and then the legislative depart- ment of the government will be restored to all ita rights and all its privileges, The mortification resuiting from the unhappy mis- take of Saturday last, and its denunciation by Mr. Wood, is increased by the tenor of the latest ad- vices from London. When it was semi-oficially announced, on Thursday morning last, that should Great Britain propose to stipulate, in the event that f the United States as a neutral should not be lia- ble for remote or consequential injuries or losses resulting from a failure to observe her duties a8 a neutral, that an arrangement of the nature indi- cated might be accepted by the United States, there was every reason for Secretary Fish believ- ing, from the tenor of General Schenck’s ds- spatches, that such a proposal was about to be made, and the statement was given to the press to Prepare the country for the solution of the difMicul- ties anticipated. This record having been made, it is now impossible to deny tt. The British Minister, on Thursday morning, recognizing the official tone of the article as published here, immediately telegraphed to Earl Granville what had been done by the State Department, thus giving the British Ministry the opportunity to profit by our prema- ture exposure of the new position taken up, and from which we could not consistently retreat. Sa- gaciously pushing this advantage, the British Minis- try advised Earl Granville to maintain the same atti- tude that had been assumed before Parliament, and to encourage no expectation of a concession such as was invited. The despatch of Earl Granville to Mr. Thornton, on Thursday night, after the Cabinet Seasion, was based upon this advice, The expected Proposition on the part of the United States was not misunderstood. It was argued that we had Presented in our case claims for consequential damages, and had distinctly prefaced that portion of the case with the caption:—“The tri- bunal should award a sum in gross to the United States.” As the Geneva Board could only act in a judicial capacity it was impossible— even admitting the claims were within the treaty— for the arbitrators to establish an international prin- ciple, such as we declared we were only contending for, when it was distinctly avowed that a pecuniary award was asked. The proposition of Earl Granville to us must necessarily be based upon the English construction of the treaty, and with the information received that day from Washington, together with the premature publication of the attitude of our government, it only remained to ask us if we waived our pre- tended claim under the treaty. If so, then Her Majesty’s government was willing to admit that she would not ask for consequential damages under circumstances similar to those which the United States claimed had justified her presepta- tion of such a claim. ‘This was the proposition which reached the State Department on Friday. We had diplomatically fished for an easy solution of the difficulty, and the result was stated in these despatches of yester- day which occasioned the meeting at the State Department on Saturday. The President, tired and disgusted with the efforts made to patch up the case, firmly declared to- day that there was but one solution of the question. He said to a Cabinet ofMcer, “You may rely upon it I will not sanction, from this time forth, any suggestion for the disposal of the controversy. It must meet its fate at Geneva. We have declared to the whole world that the question of consequen- tial damages is one for the arbitrators to decide, and if England takes the responsibility of denying it our government cannot be blamed. I will not back down or withdraw our case.’ It is stated to-night that a despatch of this tenor was sent to General Schenck as a reply to the Brit- ish proposition of Thursday last. The result is already anticipated in oficial circles, and a failure of the treaty apprehended. The President has been painfully aware, for weexs past, of the unpleasant position in which the Secretary of State has placed the country by his management of this whole business. Early in April he consulted with his personal friends as to the propriety of making a change in the head of the State Department, but was advised that such a step at that time would be construed as evincing a want of cowfidence in Mr. Fish, and would poorly excuse his long retention atthe head of the State Department. Mr. Fish, too, feels deeply mortified at the condition of af- fairs and the embarrassment he has caused the administration. It has been a favorite expression with him, when approached for informatién which he did not feel at liberty to give, that he was only the President's clerk, and that he was the proper person to apply to. This assumed diplomatic title is now literally true, ‘for the President dictates what must be sent to Schenck, and Fish merely does the clerical work. The President has taken the field in person and has assumed command of the State Department. Will Grant Withdraw from the dential Canvass t It is useless to deny the very evident fact that the Greeley-Brown ticket is growing in favor, As the impulse on the part of the democrats in support of the proposition for a regular ticket dies away, as it’ certainly is dying away, the feeling in favor of an- other candidate at Philadelphia than General Grant finds an increase of friends. The propo- Pitesi- sition, or supposition, that Grant would withdraw, originally looked at as pre- postcrous, is now a matter of seri- ous consideration. Whispered suggestions that either Blaine or Boutwell would make a better run against Greeley than Grant have grown in strength of utterance, until now they are talked aloud in the departments and at the Capitol. The number of democrats who have retreated from theif first de- clarations of opposition to the Cincinnati nomina- tions is greater to-day than it was yesterday, and will be still greater to-morrow. In fact, it is noW® among the probabilities, as well as the possibilities, of the future that Mr. Greeley will receive the democratic endorsement. Republicans who up to a recent date have been acknowledged Grant men now ad- mit that Grant is the only stumbling block in the way of a reorganization of the old party in all its strength and purposes. ‘Why, then,” they say, “shall we not put up some other men, like Blaine or Boutwell, in whose favor Mr. Greeley cannot fail to withdraw, and thereby reduce the canvass to an old-fashioned contest between democrats and re- publicans ?? The South Carolina Contested Seat. The House Committee on Elections to-day decided to report in favor of A. S, Wallace, the sitting member from the Foufth South Carolina district. The indictment of Mr. Wallace by the South Caro- lina courts for perjury, in taking the fron-clad oath, it is said will soon be effected, In 1862, at York- ville, In that State, he made a speech to a Confed- erate battalion, urging them to go and fight and win glorious names, like the patriots of King’s Mountain, and promising to send his youngest son—his eldest having already enlisted—into the service as soon as possible. The Texas Contested Seat. The action of the House Committee on Elections in the case of N. T. Clarke, of Texas, is regarded by his friends as hasty, as the Adjutant General of that State is now on his way here with testimony to show that it has been impossible for any one to take testimony against Giddings, the democratic contestant, owing to the existence of a reign of terror, which makes it unsafe for any one to even express an opinion in favor of Clarke. Giddings has been proved to be a member of the Ku Klux and other similar organizations, and it is stated that his election was secured by intimidation. General Clarke expects to have @ strong case to present to the House, notwithstanding the adverse report of the committee, Mr. Sumner’s Public Schools Bill, Mr. Sumner failed again to-day in his efforts to force a consideration of his bill for equal rights in the public schools of this District. He will con- tinue to insist on action regarding it until he suc- ceeds in making @ final determination of the sub- ject. The Case of Captain Preble, of the Navy. A Naval Court of Inquiry has been in session here for several daya, having for its object an investiga- tion into the circumstances connected with the dis- missal of Captain G. H. Preble from the navy by Mr. Lincoln for allowing the Florida to enter the harbor of Mobile. Qaptain J. N. Maffit, the Confederate corsair chief wha had command of the is the most prominent witness, and testified that he sailed in under English ‘colors, and Preble, conse- quently, did not know who the strange vessel was until she got abreast of his ship and gave him a broadside which fairly riddied her hull. Preble has been restored with loss of rank, and now demands @ definite acquittal from all the charges against him. Captain Matfat’s testimony was prompted by a chivalric desire to do justice to a brave and gal- lant enemy. The evidence in the case was closed to-day. Mail Steamer Subsidies. The Senate, in Committee of the Whole to-day, having under consideration the Postal appropria- tion bill, defeated the Australian and Brazilian mail subsidy proposition by striking out the former and reducing the latter to such a small sum that it was withdrawn by its friends, Mr. Morton's proposition to abolish the franking privilege was also defeated. To-morrow, when the bill comes up for final consideration, the effort will be renewed to include the subsidies, and the lobby {s confident of success. The Drake Amendment. The House Committee on Appropriations to-day decided to strike out the Senate amendment to the Deficiency bill re-enacting the Drake amendment prohibiting jurisdiction by the Court of Claims over claims presented by pardoned rebels, The bill sub- sequently came up for consideration in the House, but the amendment was not reached. No doubt it will be defeated when it is reached, and its final fate will be decided by a conference committee, Heavy Congressional Humor. The grim humor of Eldridge, of Wisconsin, sug- gested to him the appropriation of Pig Iron Kelley's high pressure Tariff bill to stave off for another week the Supplementary Civil Rights bill which each Monday brings up for action. Under a title that epitomized the selfishness and sophistry of ultra protection the perspiring Reading Clerk droned through forty pages of Kelley's political economy, when he was checked by the withdrawal of the bill, which had served its turn in strangling social equality. The Tariff Question. An attempt by Mr. Dawes to open the way to separate discussion of the different subjects of the ‘Tarif bill, backed up by a threat to slaughter the whole bill if his motion was not accepted, in ac- cordance with what he asserted was the agreement made in the Committee of Ways and Means, raised a storm of indignant opposition from his colleagues, and an‘ignominious defeat befell this etfete leader of the House in his effort to force a suspension of the rules to pass his motion. The Debate on the Detictency Bill. The Deficiency bill came up for consideration to- day, and afforded the usual opportunity for partl- san sharpshooting and the genial pleasantry of Mr. Cox. Mr. Roberts, of New York, made earnest op- position to an appropriation of $6,000 for the re- moval of the American Legation from Florence to Rome, and won a reduction of half the appropria- tion, The government workmen failed to get from the House an overruling of the Senate's decision that eight hours’ work meant ten hours’ pay, though Mr, Farnsworth fought like a Trojan for his amendment. The Internal Revenue Bureau to be In- vestigated. Commissioner Douglas, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, is to be investigated by the House Com- mittee of Claims, The sharp edge of investigations being taken off by too frequent and constant use, the Revenue Commissioner has been quietly turned over to a sub-committee for examination. Protest Against the Admission of Utah. A memorial was presented in the House of Repre- sentatives to-day from about 3,000 citizens of Utah protesting against the admission of that Territory into the Union as a State. It was accompanied by the aMdavita of thirty apostate Mormons against Brigham Young and the Mormon Church. Outrages in South Carolina. A‘ telegram was received to-day at the Depart- ment of Justice from the United States District At- torney at Charleston, 8. C., n which he says that a Deputy Marshal just returned from Marietta, Ga., reports that Capers Scott, Wesley Scott and William Harris, whom he had arrested on a bench warrant issued by the Circuit Court, were forcibly taken from him by a crowd of thirty or forty men. The men arrested are duly indicted for violating the Enforcement act. The Circuit Court at Charleston has adjourned, and a special term has been ordered for August. The Democratic National Convention, While the democrats in Congress are agreed that the 4th of July shall be the time for the assembling of the National Democratic Convention, they are not in Laie as to place.

Ciry or Mexico, April 27,} * Via HAVANA, May 6, 1872. } Mr. Plumb, at the banquet in this city to the mem- bers of the press, made a speech, in which bhé said :— “The railway system of the United States i@ rapldly approaching the borders of Mexico. The International Railroad Company of Texas, which I represent, aided by liberal donations from Texas, and controlled by influential Northern capitaliate, is now constructing a railroad across Texas, and © next year it will nearly reach the Rio Grande. It ia desired to continue the line through to the capital and to the Pacific coast of Mexico.” Seiior Clemente Vasques, in the course of @ speech at the same banquet, answered the objec- tions of patriotic Mexicans who fear the tntroduo- tion of American enterprise in the country wil! lead to its subjugation by showing that an equilibrium of races existed on this Continent as well astm Burope, In this was the strongest guarantee of Mexico's independence, and the Americans recog- nized it as well as the Mexicans. For if the United States government required four years to subdue the Southerners, a people largely made up of the Latin race, how could tt sustain itself with the Anglo-Saxon element in the minority, as it would be with the absorption of Mexico and the admission of a number of new Latin States? The projectors of the Mexican World’s Fair are active in their preparations for the exhibition, A telegraphic demonstration is proposed in honor of the memory of the late Professor Morse, Reinforcements for the Defenders of Mata= moros—Another Advance on the City te be Made by the Rovolutionista. MATAMOROS, May 6, 1872, The steamer Tabasco arrived this evening at the mouth of the Rio Grande from Vera Cruz, witha reinforcement of several hundred troops for thia city, and munitions of war. General Cortina has been relieved of the com- mand of the regular cavalry, which has been incor- porated into the force of General Cevallos, and, with the reinforcements just arrived, makes his available force about two thousand regulars aud one thousand National Guards. Cortina has still @ small volunteer cavalry force acting as scouts. ‘The revolutionists are said to be encamped near* Reynosa, where they are throwing up earthworks on the Rio Grande, which forms one flank of their camp. It is said that General Martinez is coming down from the mountains with 2,009 cavairy to join Trevino and Quiroga at Reynosa, when another advance will made on this city, Military Protection Against Mexican Cattle Thieves, TELEGRAM TO THE MEW YORK HERALO. BROWNSVILLE, May 6, 1872. Captain McConnell arrived here this morning, with a company of United States cavalry, from Sam Antonio, and reported to General McCook at Fort Brown for duty in protecting the frontier from the Mexican cattle’ thieves. Another com- pany of cavalry reached Ringgold barracks s few days ago, and General McOook has orders to mount a company of infantry to look after the cattle robbers. With his mounted force the border will have some little protection from the Mexican raiders, but in view of the disbanding of Cortina’s volunteers @ strong force will be needed here to see that they do not come to Texas to renew their robberies during their enforced idleness on the- Mexican side.
