A correspondent of the Terrell, (Tex. ) Times, writing from Hot Springs, New Mexico, credits Dick Hudson with having discovered them in 1857, where he now resides. Hudson's appear ance in New Mexico was not until several years subsequent to that datc. Adolph Lea, now of Fort Seldon, on the Rio Grande, was, probably, the first person to occupy the place, which occupancy antedates Hudson's advent, in New Mexico, by several years. Maston succeeded Lea, and built a house there when the springs were a waste, and had been for years, in con- sequence of the hostilities of the Apaches. Lea, who is now a grand father, buried his first child there. when an infant. D. B. Lacey ac- quired of widow Maston a possessory right which be disposed of to Hudson about the year 1868. The fee simple is in the government, and cannot be transferred.

DEATH OF CHARLES O'CONOR.

The telegraph informs us that Charles O'Conor, the great lawyer, died Monday afternoon. His mind was clear up to the last moment. Mir. O'Conor was born in New York city in 1894. He was admitted to the bar in the practice of law in 1S2t, and by his great energy and industry became the leader of the legal profession in his native city. For a short period during President Pierce's administra- tion he was District Attorney. In 1864 he was elected a member of the constitutional convention, and in 1868 he was nominated by the Democracy for President.

A COMPLICATED COLLAPSE.

"The tallest pine feels most the power of wintry blast, and comes heaviest to the ground" which has an complication in the financial disas. ter which has overtaken Gen. Ulysses s. Grant, the senior member of the firm of Grant & Ward, bankers, in the city of New York, who have failed for SlO,OOO,OOO. On the Eth inst. the su- preme court of that state granted sev- eral attachments against Ferdinand Ward, [. s. Grant, U. s. Grant. Jr., and Wm. C. Smith. The first attach. ment was for the sum of $4,225 upon a check, in the hands of the plaintiff, drawn by the firm upon the Marine National Bank, in which they had no money and consequently payment of same was refused. Other attachments then quickly followed, and soon the wreck was regarded as complete. The firms manner of doing business for some time is said to have been ques- tionable, if not dishonest, they having hypothecated securities in their hands not their own, which are now beyond their reach, and for the recovery of which owners will be forced to seek redress through the courts. The rail- roadNwinged by Grant & Ward, as far a known on the Eth, were the New Yosk, Chicago and St. Louis, the New York, Lake Erie and Western, the St. Louis and San Francisco, and number of other roads. Notices of reclamation were sent by all these companies to the banks and firms that held the re-hypothecated securities, as far as they were known. The loss of the "Silver Plated" railroad is stated at S400,000. Vanderbilt "accommo- dated the general" by exchanging checks with him the day previous to the suspension. Grant did not re- spond, but promises that Vanderbilt shall be reimbursed from his wife property. The desire for the gener- als autograph has sensibly abated since his credit has fallen below zero.
 A New York dispatch announces that it is in contemplation by Roscoe Conkling and others, to circulate a begging petition, with view of re- lieving the old gentleman who once circumnavigated the globe, "by par ticular request of friends" at govern ment expense, with view of having him in trim as a candidate for a third term president.

A Citizen reporter prints the follow ing as coming from leading Demo- crat of Tucson: "Our delegate will be either Meade of Cochise, Purdy of Yuma, Bolan of Graham, Hughes of this county or Bailey of Gila county. These men are all candidates for the position, and I have little room now upon which to base our opinion as to who will be the successful man." Mir. Bailey is not an aspirant for the position, and has never authorized the use of his name in that connection.

The fire losses in the United States and Canada for the month of April foot up $1O,00O,0O0; and for the first four months of the year they foot up $37,550,0O0. If they go on at this rate the aggregate for the year will be in the neighborhood of S12O,oOO,oOO. This is nearly equal to the value of all the wheat, flour and corn exported abroad in a year-so that it takes about all our surplus of those great staples to make good the loss of property we burn up as we go along.

The failure of Hudson & Toole bankers in Tucson and Tombstone, has caused no little excitement in those places. The following is statement of accounts of the Tucson house, as furnished by Mir. Stiles, assignee, to a committee appointed by creditors Total liabilities (estimated), $32O,OOO;
 liabilities, less preferred claims, $25,- 900; general creditors, unpreterred, $300,000. The liabilities of the Tomb stone house is variously estimated from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In the latter place the excitement was so great, upon hearing that the cashier had gone to Tucson, that the grand jury, then in session, deemed it advisable to repair to the bank, in body, where a large number of excited persons were in waiting, and assure them that the sheriff should take charge of the bank and effects, and allow no part of the money or securities to be removed from Tombstone or diverted from the payment of creditors in that place.
