A BIG LAND CLAIM.
In 183G Mrs. Harrington
owning the league of land where
.Brenham stands made a deed
of gitt to 200 acres of land to her
danghteryLydia Lee and .Marga-
ret Lee her grand daughter.
One half of the tract was spec-
ified to be held in trust by Ab
ner Lee for his daughter Mar-
garet and that he was to have
a life interest in it and at his
death was to revert to her. In
1843 when Texas was a Ee-
public Ab. Lee petitioned the
Probate Court to order a parti-
tion of the land. The Court
appointed Commissioners and
the partition was made; the east
one half of the tract .adjoining
the Walker league being set
apart for the old lady and the
west half towards the courthouse
for Margaret. As soon as the
land was divided Mrs. "Lee
joined by her husband execut-
ed n deed to B. R. Thomas for
100 acres her share. Ab. Lee
guardian for his minor daugh-
ter then petitioned the Probate
Court "supported by the affida
vits of three good and lawful
citizens" as the proceedings
read for an order of Bale of the
100 acres belonging to his. daugh-
ter. The Court granted the
petition after complying to all
the forms of the law and it was
sold at the courthouse door to
the highest bidder for cash in
hand. The clerk of the Court
then made the deed to the pur-
chaser and it has been in the
hands of his legal assignees ever
since.
Ab. Loo died a few weeks ago
and now the attorneys for Mar-
garet now grown with t-cvcral
children claims the 100 acre
tract on the ground that the title
did not lie in her until after her
father's death and that the pro-
ceedings ot the Probato Court
were illegal aud theroforo void.
This is the hitch. Did tho
Conrt have power to order the
sale for Margaret's share? - The
tract is 16G6 varas long nearly
a railo but only 337J wide. It
corners a little over a mile from
the courthouse near the Inde
pendence road N. W. from the
city. Tho east lino runs near
tho colored school house at
Camptown and the South-west
corner is iu the middle of the
colored grave yard not far
from the oil works. The most
of the residents on tho tract are
industrious colored men who
have built comfortable bonscn
"but the majority hold warranty
deeds from responsible old citi-
zens who will have to defend
their titles.
The wiiolo tract lies about
half a mile East and Northeast
of the courthouse. Mrs. Stamp's
old homestead is near the "West
line and all of Wiley Hubert's
laud close to the East lino.
Theodore Stamps Kavanaugh a
place Butler's and Baker's
houses about ten acres of the
West side of Hinschbcrg'; field
and all the houses laying with-
in the 337f varas mentioned aio
in the claim heing about forty
dctendonts. It also takes about
20 acres belonging to J. D.
Giddings on tbe North side of
the Independence road. Hirsch-
berg holds a warranty deed from
C. E. Brtedlove and several
others from prominent mem
bers of tho barof this county
and they will doubtless contest
the claim to the best of their
ability. We will aw it further
movements. F. W. Chandler
of Austin is the c'aimanta at-
torney. Gen. Banks thinks tho ac-
tion of President Hayes in re-
gard to tbe South Carolina and
Louisiana controversies not in-'
consistent with the interests of
the Republican party; that tho
course of events had placed the
party in relation to those States
in a wrong position and it was
therefore necessary to withdraw
from the attitnde ill which the
GovernmentlJadTwen placed.
Tee Austin Leader 'says the
fonr prisoners brought in from
Webb county last Thursday are
the most villainous looking set
of ruffians wo haro seen for a
ooon's age.
HAPPINESS
Every one of any reflection
would be apt to come to the
conclusion after bestowing a
little thought on the suhjeet
that the being end and aim ot
life was. happiness even if he
had not. been told so by the old
English writer. Happiness is
one thiug coveted by all the
wise and the simple the learn-
ed and the ignorant. It is one
of the leading objects of every
man's and of every woman's
ambition. When it is conceded
that this a common platform on
which all mankind stand is it
not inexpieably strange that we
are so parsimonius about extend-
ing a little aid to the happiues
of each other.?
A homily on what constitutes
happiness is not what we start-
ed to write About. But we
must say that many men aye
and women too kick out of
their paths almost daily that
which is capable of conferring
rational gratification. Amid
the active duties of life there
is scarcely a day passes in which
every one with the least pai-ri-fice
caanotcontribute something
either by a kind word'or a small
act to the advancement or grat-
ificationand consequent by the
happiness of others.
If a p.irty were to start on
the overland route to C.iliforni.i
to-morrow would it not be bet-
ter to assist one another rather
than throw impediment iu the
way of each othtr? Would not
he be considered a despicable
churl who would fail to contri-
bute as much as an encouraging-
"word to his weary and perhaps
overburdened fellow travelbr?
Well we are all travelling if
not to California at any rate to
some goal a pacific coast let lis
hope and often need the aid
and comfort of an encouraging
word and a kind net. These
coat the giver nothing. And
3et they are like mercy twice
1)lcssed blessing him that gives
as well as" him that takes.
TTORTII LOOKIXfi AT.
There is a picture ot Jndgp
R. E. B. Batlok iu the law office
of Breedlove & Ewing painted
by H. A. McArdle whose painr"-
ing of "Lee at TnE Wildee
ness" is the admiration of all
who have enjoyed the pleasnre of
seeing it. Tne picture of Judge.
Baylor which has been ordered
by the members ot the Bren-
hara Bar is intended to be
placed in the courthousejvjiere
those who knew the original
will at a glance recogniz3 the
manly intellectual lineaments
of one who in life wai the de-
served object of their profound
admiration. As a work of art
the picture would place" its au
thor. Mr. McArdle in the front
rank of artists even it he. had
not achieved th it distinct ion by
numbers ot other triumphs in
his professional career.
Wo learn that it is contem-
plated by the Breuham Bar
many of whom profited by his
wise instruction to have a pic-
ture Tot Judge E. T. Wheeler
executed by the same artist and
placed in thecourthouse where
the two pictures will be sin or
nament to 'he temple of justice
and an honor to those whose
grateful recollections of the
originals havj prompted the
thoughtful and considerate de-
sign which r-fhets credit on
the liviug as well as tho dead.
Haed Times are -beginning
to be seriously felt by the news-
paper fraternity aud some of
our interior exchanges have
found . it nee -sary fo cnrtall
theirdimensious somewhat.

It takes money and a good deal
of it too to run a newspaper;
and unless the "kale feed" can
bo had newspaper men will
have a rough time of it "bridg-
ing over" the dull season.

THE COTTON TAX.
Wc alluded some time ago
to the fine opening there was
for doing an act of justice to
the South by the refunding of
this nnjnst and illegal tax. It
this money is refunded and it
certainly should be if justice is
meted out the sum that wonld
come to Texas would he at least
seventeen million dollars. The
tax was colle -ted on the crops
of 1865 'G6 '07 and '68. The
tax for two of these years was
15.00 a bale. For. the remaining
two years the tax was ten dol-
laisabale. For the four years
named the crop of Texas would
each year average 350000 baies
and the average tax would be
twelve dol'ar3 and a half per
bale. This would make the
snng little sum of 517500000.
As it is not likely that this
sum can ever reach the pock-
ets of those from whom it was
filched and to whom it right-
fully belongs it placed ir the
State treasury it would at a
bound relieve the over-taxed
people from a burden under
which they are groaning and
provide such a school fund as
would place the means ot edu-
cation iu the bands of every
child white or black iu the
State.
We hope that Southern Con-
gressmen will not let the matter
rest until justice is done their
constituents on this question.
Love and Suicide. A Ger-
man named T Weiss in the em-
ploy of a farmer named Ger-
loft residing three miles east
of Cypress proposed marriage
to his employer's daughter to
whom he hud been paying atten-
tion for some time and was re-
jected. "Let every thing go to
the devil." was his reckless re-
ply. Early in the morning
Miss Gerlolf wis awakened by
a fearful blow struck her by
Weiss' with a piece of iron A
struggle ensued and Weiss af-
tnr leaving her for dead went
to his room above stairs. Miss
G. recovered aud went to a
neighbor's for assistance. Sev-
eral men went to the house
where they found Weibs in his
bed saturated with blood where
he had attempted suicide by
first shooting himself in the fore-
head with a revolver and as
that did not finish the job he
made two cuts at his throat.
He w-as not dead but it was
impossible for him to survive.
Miss Geriofi's wounds are not
fatal and she will speedily re-
cover. Her fither and mother
were absent at Houston.
State Fair. The eighth an-
nual State Fair opens at Hous-
ton Tuesday the 22d instant
and continue five days. We
alluded to this once before but
there is no harm to mention it
again especially as we see in
the papers that there will be
many exhibitors from abroad
who will show fine stock among
other things. We know that
many of our people will attend
and we know some in our coun-
ty and in Austin who have
stock worth exhibiting and
which would stand a chance. for
a blue ribbon. There will be
an immense concourse of peo-
ple assembled from every direc-
tion and visitors may confident-
ly count on a pleasant time.
Let Washington comity have a
large delegation.
Beiguam Touso the great
Mormon chief is in trouble
again. The United States Gor-

complicity in tho Mountain

accused Eiighain ot being im-
plicated in the slaughter and
ther' is no doubt but that suffi-
cient proot cm be obtained to
convict if the case is pioperly
worked up especially if Brig-

Another Killing. At Groes-
beckx as we learn from the Gal-
veston News about 9 o'clock
the morning ot the 5th inst. a
crowd of disguised armed men
took the keys from the jailor of
Limestone county and forced
the jail shooting and killing
Wade Trammel brother of the
notorious Merrick Trammel.
They also shot and killed anoth-
er negro Tom Reed a so called
preacher. They wonnded one
Harry Conoly and mortally
wounded Hog "Willis both ne
groes.
Willis was one of the murder-
ers of Mr. Applewhite an in-
offensive old man who was shot
down and murdered like a dog
some years ago. A colored boj'
confined for obstructing the
railroad has disappeared and is
rot to be found. He probably
escaped while the shooting was
going on.
