MEXICAN RAIDS INTO TEXAS.
siokening Detniis OF Outrages Upon woms
and lha rlea Cnin m ed.

| sickening Detaiisof Outrages Upon Women
and Observation-Disclosures Committed.
Representative schlcicher, of Texas has ro.
ceived from q responsible citizen Of Corpus
Christie the following letter, dated April 25
1873, In relation to tho recent outrages by
Mcxicans In that State:
ERE this you have heard Of tho torriblo
outrages and murders committed by Mexicans,
In Indian garb, IN Webb, Duval and surround
ing counties. Now, as you know me to be just
to all, and that I have lived In the counties Of
San Patricio, Live Oak and Ncuces for thirty
years and have been through all Of tho trou.
bles Of tho frontier, you know that will say
what Is 80. TO commence, | say have never
seen such Wholesale slaughter. They took
little boys, from seven to twelve years
old, and two men on horseback would
hold them up by their hands while
the third would take out their cntiials.
The men they would shoot and then take out
their entrails. This was seen by women and
men that were hid in the bush, and we found
the bodies as IL WAS told TO us in the manner
stated. The killed amounted to about twen-
ty-1ve men and fif,ocn children from seven
TO fourteen years old. This raid was mado to
get horses for the Mexican army, and / am
told by good authority that all the raiders re-
ccive Is the money they can get with other
valuables, ard 81 a head for all the horses
they bring safe over the Rio Grande. l think
they must have crossed over the river with
about 500 or 600 head Of saddle horses. There
were about forty.flvc Of the raiders alto
gether-about twenty.six In tho party that
did most Of the killing, about ten In the ono
that was below San Diego, and eight or ten in
the one that crossed about Eagle Pass. When
| say 500 or 600 head of horses l mean the
number that were taken by the party that did
tho most of the killing-the party that
crossed the Rio Grando below.
"Rio Grando City had about $50 head Of
horses. | do not know how many horses they
crossed about Eagle Pass Now, how Is it that
the United States, as great a government as 1t
is, will allow such work to go on? 1t looks
like such people should DO blotted out of exist
ence. They should not be allowed to live.
Wo have the power TO stop this nidinp, aud
why not do it at once? say, demand these
mon to be turned over in ten days, and in case
Of failure, send troops over and get them,
and take the whole country. | know YOU are
doing all you can to protect us, and hopo you
may be able to do 1t. write this in haste"

1t is nowan acknowledged fact that
CONSUMPTION CAN DE CURED. It has
been cured in q very great number
of cases (some of them apparently
desperate onos) by Schonck's Pull,
monic Syrup alone, and in others
by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Soa Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills, one or both accord
ing TO the requirements of the case.
The old supposition that "Ccn>
sumption is inc,lrable," for many
years deferred Physicians from at-.
tompting to find remedy for that
disease, and patients afflicted with
it reconcilod themselves to death
without IN effort being made to save
thom from doom which was con-
sidered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed
at one timo to be at the very gate of
death, his physicians having pro-
nounced his case hopeless and
abandoned him to his fate he was
CURED by tho aforesaid medicines,
and afterward enjoyed uninterrupt-
cd good health for moro than forty
years. Thousands ofpeople have used
DR.. Schencl's preparations with the
same remarkable success.

on their unfortunate position.
After while, George Curtis, the
secretary and leader of tho Exodus
Association appeared, and rs soon
as it bocamo known who he was
the crowd gathered around him.
| His first oxhortation was that the

approached him just then, and
asked on whom tho responsibility
for bringing thcso people into this
position rested.
EIo replied that he didn't know as
yet. That there was conflict of
veracity between Middleton Ingram,
OF Lancaster and ono of the direc-
tors, tho former asserting that the
latter had written him, instructing
him to como down and bring his
people, and tho latter donying it.
lIo George Curtis) intonded, how
ever, sitting the mattor thoroughly,
he said.
The next question was, "What
do you propose to do with them ?"
lilo answered that he didn't know.
III was trying to mako arrange
mcnts for thom. He then drew
the adult malo emigrants into line,
and took their names, informing
them that he had engaged rooms
for them that would hold six each,
at two dollars per month.
"Good God" said one of the
m eli, 'you amt going to keep us
here month, arc you?"
Yes" was the rcply, "you may
have to stay here month, but we
aro trying to engage work for you
in the phosphate works. MIR.
Porter will leave in q few days to
select q ship. We have enough
money in tho First National Bank
to pay the first installment on one"
The emigrants seemed then better
satisfied, and went off with the
Liberian secretary to look at their
quarters on some Of the side
streets.
a call and inquiry at tho Office of
the L. Il. A. elected tho response
that the people who camo here did
SO entirely on their own RESPONSE
bility, and without the knowledge,
consent or invitation of the Asso-
citation. When asked to explain
why it was that people came, ap-
parently moved by the same impulse,
from points as far apart rs Ian
castor and Burke county, Georgia,
they could givo no explanation
beyond a surmise that a report had
gotten around in the country,
The emigrants seem entirely
unable to givo any satisfactory
account of why they como ut this
time, beyond that they "got word"
to do SO.
More Of these people are expected
to arrive. On whom the RESPONSE
bility for the cruel deception rests
cannot as yet be ascertained, but
terrible blunder or moro terrible
fraud has been committed some
where. The Liberian Exodus AS
sociation had best hurry the ship,
or a storm will be raised about their
cars.
