RAIDS ON THE TEXAS BORDER,
NIexicans Burn Il POst.OGice.
Several Americans taken Prisoners and
Carried OG-Murders and RObberies of
Daily Occurrence

GALVESTON, Tex, March pa News
special from Corpus Christi, Texas, dated to-
day, says that the band of MeXicans came
within seven miles of the town robbng several
stores and houses, and taking large number
of Americans prisoners Among them were
Judge Giifin, formerly member Of the Legis-
lature, and two women. They compelled the
captives to walk in front of them till they
were exhausted, and then mounted them on
bareback horses AID hurried them off. They
robbed and burned the postoffice at Nucees
aud robbed and took prisoner one mail rider.
The Texans have gone in pursuit and fight
is reported near Banquet, in which one Next
can and two Americans were killed. All eK-
cept four of the prisoners escaped, but nothing
has yet been heard from them. Business is
mostly suspended and the citizens are under
arms guarding the town.
Information received from Los Almes, Neu-
ces county, says that throughout the entire
region between there and the Rio Grande reg
ions, lawless bands from Mexico are continual
ly raiding through the county, robbing, MUIR
derlng and driving stock across the river
They have become SO daring of late that nearly
all travel on highways has ceased. Even
stockmen are deferred from hunting their cat
tie and horses through fear OF falling into the
hands of these fuffans.
At present there seems to be concerted
movement on the part OF these Williams to
clean out the white men within striking dis
lance of Rio Grande 80 to75 miles, and even
effected. They have been crossing the river in
small detachments during the past week and
it is now estimated there are now on Texas
soil at least 800 armed bandits, and rumor has
it that several Americans near the river have
been murdered by them. Rumors come in
that the Mexicans have cleaned out company
or two of negro soldiers at San Luis on the Rio
Grande, about 40 miles below Rio Grande
city and a number Of armed men were seen
providing near this place. A number of Mexi-
cans reside here, but they cannot be depended
upon for assistance Nearly the entire Rio
Grande frontier of Texas, embracing a belt of
so to 100 miles in width is inhabited mostly by
Mexicaps. many of whom, though taking no
active, part in the forage of the thieves. yet
sympattise with and give them secret aid and
comfort.

Alleged Frauds i'm the Painting and Fres-
Going of the Postomce.
BOSTON, March q -Rumors of fraud and
hints of early exposure have for some time
been current 10 this city, in connection with
the finishing and painting of the new Boston
postoffice. Nevertheless ripple of excitement
was created upon the street this afternoon by
the announcement upon the bulletin boards of
the Herald, that U. S. treasury agents, who
are nov in the city for the purpose of investi.
eating the allegations, had seized the books of
Hugh Flood, whose name has lately been
brought prominently before the public as
supposed principal in numerous questionable
ring transactions. The Herald charges the ex-
istence of 'postoffice ring" that the funds of
the government have been misaDplied and APP
propriated by private parties, and indirectly i'm
plicates Postmaster Burt and several promi-
nest state officials. Mr.. Flood will tomorrow
publish his statement. He denies that his
books were seized, but claims he voluntarily
submitted them for examination. The matter
created quite stir IN the Legislature this af-
ternoon, where alleged frauds upon the part of
Flood in the capitol repairs are now undergo
ing investigation, and President LoriDg of the
Senate surrendered the chair and made half
hours Speech defending himself from the inn
putation of connection wi the SO called post
off fiee ring. Flood was appointed to superiD-
tend the painting and frescoing of the new
postoffice, and was allowed to disburse to the
workmen. The specific charges against him
are classifying the rolls and charging the gov
ernment more than was paid the men employ
ed; also with using upon private jobs the paint
and materials of the government.

hardly dozen, whose titles existed prior to the
accession of Henry VIII Some of the titles
in the English peerage, among which are some
of early date, are held at present by peeresses,
and are therefore not represented in the House
