A MEXICAN RAID INTO TEXAS. GALVESTON, March 27, 1875, A News special from Corpus Christi, Texas, dated to-day, says:—‘‘A band of Mexicans came within seven miles of the town, robbed several stores and houses and took a large number of Americans prisoners, among them Judge Gilpin, jJormerly a member of the Legislature,-and two women. They compelled tie captives to walk in front of them till they were exnausted, then mounted them on bareback horses and hurried | them off. They robbed and burned the Post Ottice at Nueces, and robbed and took prisoner one | mail rider.

Funeral Services Over the Bemains of the : Late Mrs. Bingham. | FLORAL TRIBUTES OF RESPECT nteresting and Pathetic Ad- dresses of the Clergy. ; THE NEWSPAPER AS A DETECTIVE, Boston, March 27, 1875. A partial confession.of Pemberton, the murderer of Mra. Bingbam, together with the /uneral obse- quies to-day over the remains of tbe deceased, as Well as the wrangling among the ofMicers for the credit of the arrest, have ail served to keep the palofui tragedy fresh to the public mind, Hus con. fession, 80 far a8 the wise-looking officers are dis- poaea to make it public, admits a visit to East Boston on the day of the murder and the aeiling of the rings which have been identified as those owned ana worn by the unfortunate woman when jast seen alive. He denies the murder, but says he supposes he will have to “swing for it,” aading vhatilitis @ question between imprisonment for life and hanging he preters the latter, THE POLICE AND THE MURDER. Since the excitement over the tragedy has sub- sided the public are beginning to see how very little credit 1s dae to the police tor apprehending the murderer, If they couid have indulged in their usual reticence about the facts surrounding the tragedy, Pemberton wouid probably have re. mained undiscovered, the same as the authors of nearly 4 dozen otber murders in and around Bos. ton during the last few years. lt so happened that the newspapers pubii<:ned all tne facts ing rings, and when the man who bought them saw the stcry in the papers he immediately gave information which really brought about the detection of the murderer. It is clear, there- fore, that the police are entitled to no credit what- ever in the matter, The public parading of the crtminal through the streets yesterday, under escort of mounted ofticers, 1s also justly criticised, for the prisoner could bave very egsily been trans- ported privately and without exciting any such public demonstration as was witnessed. THE FUNERAL SERVICES, ‘The funeral obseauies over the remains of the Victim were solemnized at her late residence this afternoon. The gathering was a private, one; none but che family and immediate connections or warm personal friends being present | by invitation, The time of holding the | services was not made known to the pubic, and there was happily no display o! curios- ity to mar the quiet impressiveness of a burial py a Christian family. The remains were in such an excellent state of preservation that they could sented a much more patural look than was expected. The floral tributes trom triends of the Jamuly Were of rare beauty, and the air of the whole house was heavy wit their. iragrance. | So numerous had been these testimonials of affection froin friends that the tront parior, where the remains were exposed, was beautified in every part by some design or interlacing vine.

INTERVIEW WITH ASSEMBLYMAN ALVORD. “What, Governor, du you conceive will be the effect of this agitation of the canal question in the Legislature? Will it be calculated to lead to the correction of abuses?” were questions put to Assemblyman Alvord by &@ HERALD reporter, who | yesterday met him at the, Metropolitan Hotel. The Governor hesitated for a moment about talks ing to @ representative of tue press, but finally answered :— i think it will do good. [ think the Executive about jor years, and what has been endeavored to | be riguted by radical efforts both in tne Lezisla- | ture aud Constitutional Couvention, now that it | comes from the Executive ot the State to both | houses of the Legislature, will 1N THE DIRECTION OF REFORM.
