During their voyage up the Rio ande, cattle thieves were discovered in the act of crossing with herds of stolen cattle, and the robbers were In such force that the Commissioners’ escort dare not attack them. In the downward voyage the Commisstoners saw large quantities of smuggled goods on the Texas bank, indicating that the revenue Is being ex- tensively defrauded b ple of the neigh- borhood. Ifthe Government cannot spare in- spectors and deputy marshals enough to put a stop to this smuggling, troops should be sent to the border, ‘The plundered inhabitants bave probably given up all hope of relief during Grant's term of office, but the interests of the national Treasury might be protected, —— What is this grent commotion? It is the uprising of the people to turn out the robbers and reform the Government.

A colored man named Brooks, a candidate for the District of Columbia House of Delegates, a few evenings ago made axpeech at a meeting of citizens in which he denounced the rascalities of the Board of Public Works who are plundering the prop- erty holders of Washington, at the same time declaring that if be lived whero he could, he would vote for GRANT. HBKooKs was employed in some subordinate capacity at the Capitol, and for making this specch he was summarily dis- charged from thé public employment by Gen. Bawcock, of the President's illegal military household, who has charge of the public build- jugs in Washington.

The steamship Glenartney is built of iron and is 1,700 tons burden, She 1s owned by Jardine Mathewson of Calcutta, and ts engaged in the Fast Indian trade, running between Hong Kong and Calcutta, She is commanded by Capt. Bol- ton, atall, heavily-built gentleman, with long, black whiskers, and a face In which firmness of character and genuine good nature are harmont- ously blended. ‘The officers are all Englishmen, but the ship fs manned by a motley crow of Chinese, Hindostanese, Bengalese, Arabs, and Turks, ‘The Glenartney has not heen out of Chinese and Indian waters until now for three years. But in July last she was chartered by a firm in Amoy to bring a large cargo of tea to New York She sailed from Amoy on the éth of July, having on board 82,000 boxes of the exhilirating herb (the largest cargo of tea ever brought Into this port), and, after a voyage of sixty-seven days, dropped anchor tn the lower bay on Friday last. With her novel crew she became at once an ob- Ject of wonder to New Yorkers, and yachts and steamers carried down hundreds of visitors curl- ous to explore the recesses of a ship fresh from China, On Saturday she was hauled up to Plor Fast River, and the work of discharging her car go was begun, The scene on board the Glenartney yesterday was anovel one. The deck of an ocean steamer always presents features of interest to the lands- man, but a ship, manned by pagans, and overrun with monkeys, parrots, and other Ort tal birds is particularly interesting to the visitor. All day long the deck of the Glenartney was thronged by men, women, and children, who gazed with undisguised wonder upon, the awarthy forms and outlandish costumes of the sailors. ‘These last went about their work with utter indifference, pezing ho attention to the spectators, many ‘of whom displayed positive rudeness in thelr actions and words. Nearly all the sailors understand English, and some of the words that reached their ears must have been very annoying, The discipline of the Glenart- ney, however, [a evidently atriet and thoroughly carried out, and the forelgnera moved silently about thelr business, never speaking unless in answer to a question or a command from an omfcer, HINDOOSTAN CASTE.
