More Raids BY Mexicans and Indians.

More Raids by Mexicans and Indians. .
CHICAGO, April 1S.-The following was re-
ceived at Gen. Sheridan's headquarters from
San Antonio, Texas today: ssa8
To Adiutdnt General, Divasion of the Missouri,
Chicago.
The commanding officer at Duncan has tele-
graphed on what seems reliable information,
that party of Indians crossed into Texas Sat-
urday night 60 miles below that place, also that
party of Lipans and two Mexicans passed
PetoJas, Mexico, last week en- route to Texas
A brother of the Marshal at Laredo was mur-
dered on Sunday by desperadoes, sixty miles
from that place. Cavalry scouts are out be-
tween Duncan and Laredo, and will be likely
to hear of the Indians if they have crossed
Commanding Officer Clark reports that four
horses were stolen within few hundred yards
OF the posts on Saturday night. The mail was
followed to the Rio Grande and two of the
horses were seen on the other side. The
thieves were seen to cross with the horses and
were recognized as Mexicans.
Commanding Officer Stockton reports that
Lieut. Bigelow with a detachment is in pur-
suit of the Indians who attacked mail rider
near Escondoda and the mail in part was
found. Escondoda was reached at O o'clock in
the morning of the 16th
Commanding Officer Concha reports that the
Indians recently in the vicinity of Fagunas
are quiet, and the cavalry are now moving in
that direction with orders to attack and pur-
sue even to the reservation. The commander
has been advised as to the attack on the mail
near Escandoda and will be in good condition
to intercept that party in case they move north,

FAILURES IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF
1S7S.-As an indication of the course of busi-
ness, we give below the failures for the first
three months of 1878, and at the same time, for
the purpose of comparison, the failures for the
corresponding period of 1877. We regret that
1t is not more encouraging in its aspect; but it
should be remembered that we have passed
through an except )nal winter, probably the
worst that has been experienced in its effect
upon the general retail trade of the country
during the past twenty years. The results
anticipated from the abundant crops have not
been realized, and stocks purchased to supply
wants have been absolutely unsaleable, and
moreover have had of necessity to be sacrificed.
The shrinkage of resources during the past
six months has undoubtedly, in the aggregate,
been enormous, and has contributed to swell
the figures of the failures for the past quarter.
1t may also be borne in mind that the con-
slant extension of the operations Of the
Mercantile Agency, by the opening of new
offices. &C., has tendency to bring into its
classifications smaller class of traders whose
wants are purely local, thereby increasing the
number reported, and that this also contributes
naturally to swell the number of failures.

said at the same time, that he had a presenti-
ment he should never see me any more.

Nothing can be added to this history of the
poets trst and last love, which the gracious
kindness OF the lady concerned permits us to
use. A week after parting from Mrs. Shelton,
Edgar Poe was found unconscious and dying in

THE CONKLING INTERVIEW,

Denials of some of the Statemenfs.-Sena.
tor Conkling Himself says that in Sub
stance 1t is Without Foundation.
NEW YORK, April Ex-senator Conkling.
while admitting that some points of the pre-.
tended interview may have some truth in them,
says in substance that it is without foundation
and claims that the interview was manufac.
tured out of an after dinner talk when he was
at Utica voting. He particularly denies that
part relating to Senators Burnside and Gordon.
where he called Burnside weak man, and
said in reference to the United States marshal
ships in the South that good man was dis
placed in Georgia to make room for IA nephew
Of Wade Hampton, on the recommendation of
Gordon, Democratic Senator.
A Columbus despatch says that no credence
is placed in the alleged utterance of Mr.. Conk-
ling by the State Republican Committee in ses.
sion there.
General Stedman was interviewed relative to
his alleged organizing of 1000 men to forcibly
seat Tilden, but would not admit nor depy its
truth, saying that he would not break the con-
fdence rep0sed in him at that time
George L. Carver, a prominent Democrat.
says he was in position to know all the move-
ments at the time, and there is not a word of
truth in the statement in regard to the organi-
zation of troops to act in Tiden's interest and
he had no confidence in the alleged interview
with Conkling.
