We hear but little said as to our
liext Congressman. We suppose
Hancock, Sbeppard and Giddings
will be tbe field, and lively times
may be expected.
/ The killing of Markley by
Nalle, in Austin, last week, ex-
cited tbe populace to the highest
pitch. But for tbe prudence of a
few influential men, mob violence
would probably have been the r-e-
Bult.
Bill Loxolby, and Brown
Bowen, brother-in-law to J. AV.
Harden, will have to pay the pen-
alty of their crimes by hangiug.
The Supreme Court nas affirmed
the decision of the jury, and unless
they escape their course is nearly
atan end.
—TOs have received a letter from
Capt P. N. Harris, of Belton, an-
nouncing his intention to ran
for the office of Land Commission-
er. The Captain has many friends
in this section who would be
pleased to see him promoted to so
honorable a position.
It is generally supposed that
Judge Terrell will consent to run
for State Senator. We hardly sup-
pose that he will have a formidable
competitor. His coarse during the
last session was agreeable to the
people of the District, aud they
have no disposition to swap him
off.
The public sentiment is gradu-
ally fixing itself upon Throckmor-
ton as the candidate for Governor.
We believe that Comanche and
8an Saba have determined to give
liim their support. It is* compli-
mentary to a man who has been in
public position for thirty years, to
be acknowledged as an honest
man. Such is the case with
Throckmorton. ] -Y
in view oí the many important
offices to be filled during the
present year, and the great num-
ber of aspiran ts, what do the people
of this county say to holding a
convention to select the most suit-
able men for the different places ?
We would like to have an expres-
sion of opinion. If an none6t ex«
pression of publie (sentiment could
bo had, good might result. We
are opposed to wireworking, but
would like for the people to speak
out. .
Alderman Markley, of Aus-
tin, was killed last week by Alder-
man Nalle, on account of angry
feelings caused by the proposition
to baild a new market house.
They first had a quarrel in the
Statesman office, in which Nalle
threw an inkstand, and pair of
shares at Markley, and soon after-
wards they met on the street,
where Markley asked Kalle if he
thought he was as good a man
as he did while in the Statesman
office. Instantly they both took
hold of euch other, when Nalle
stabbed him three times, killing
him instantly.
Since.we mentioned the name
of Judge Hughes for the Legisla-
ture; there has been quite a free
expression of opinion as to his
suitableness for the position, and
we believe he is considered the
strongest man that can be put for-
ward in the two counties. We are
satisfied that no man in William-
son can get so heavy a vote in
Lampasas aa he, and if he can
carry his own county, he can be
triumphantly elected. He has
practiced law in this district for
more than twenty-five years, ha6
been elected as District Judge and
as District Attorney. His official
acts are well remembered by the
the people, and in fciin, they would
feel that they had a fearless and
incorruptible representative. We
believe in the stock of men, as
much as we do in the stock of
horses or hogs. We knew Judge
Hughes'grandfather, father, uncles
and brothers, and without a single
exception tbey were highly es-
teemed and honorable people. We
would greatly prefer a man of that
sort to a stranger or an untried
in an.
We learn that quite an array of
candidates are likely to be in the
field for the Legislature in this
District. Out of the number
spoken of we trust we will elect
a good man. A good deal of legis-
lation is needed, and ib Í3 to be
hoped that the incoming body will
be wiser and more practical than
tbe last. The new constitution
requires that the laws shall be
adapted to it, and the experience
of the last two years ought to
enable our lawmakers to give us
some healthy improvements. We
hope there will Ik no wrangle be-
tween lawyers, grangers aud
greenbackers, but all should work
together for the common good
There is enough for all to do. The
old fight' between Radicals and
Democrats is over, there being so
few of the former as to make them
powerless. We want good, sensi-
ble aud patriotic members, free
from prejudice and liberal iu their
views. Our people are going to be
careful as to the men they support.
A FATA It HKIGHSORHOVD feud.
TWO MEMBERS OP ONE PARTY KILLED
OUTBIOHT AND A THIRD WOUNDED—
TREACHERY ALLEGED.
Trinity, March 13.—A neighborhood
ejaarrel between pasties living about
seven miles from Lovelady, in Walker
county, resulted last Monday in the/A
killing of Alf Humphries and Samu^i
Foster and the s«vere wounding of o£e
Andrews. The killed and wouncflbd
were on one side. The other side was
an old man named Sheffield, his t<vo
sons and Bon-in-law and one or two
other persons, none of whom were hurt.
I have only been able to hear particu-
lars from the Foster side as yet. Fos-
ter's party claim that they met the op-
posite party in the road as they were
going home, when old man Sheffield
rode forward, calling out, "Peace,
peace," and asked for a parlev ; and as
Foster's party rode up to talk the mat-
ter over, one of Sheffield's crowd se-
cured the only gun the Foster party
had, then opened fire on them, tilling
Alf Humphries' head full of buckshot
and killing him instantly, shooting Sam
Foster so badley that he died in a few
hours. Andrews got a shot in the leg
and groin and will probably die. No
arrests yet.
.'X Bluoily Affray In Kimble County.
San Saba News.
A serious affray is reported as
having occurred at Junction City,
the county site of Kimble county,
a few days ago, wherein three men
were killed and another mortally
wounded. These four were Major
Wright, Sam Gorman and two
brothers by the name of Brazier.
The facts, as reported, are that one
of the Braziers and Major Wright
at the time ot the difficulty had
some misunderstanding, the nature
of which we are not informed, and
that Major Wright shot aud killed
Brazier. The brother of Brazier
(hen killed Wright. In the mean-
time Sam Gorman, deputy sheriff
and brother of J. 13. Gorman, the
Sheriff, stepped iu to quiet the dis-
turbance and was killed by the
other Brazier, the Sheriff then shot
Brazier who had killed his' brotherji
Thus four men were shot in a few
minutes. We have no further in-
formation in regard to this terrible
outrage ou law, and regret that we
are not able to place the responsi-
bility of the crime uponi whom it
belongs, as there must be some
justifiable circumstances in favor of
some of tbe participants.
Sam and J. B. Gorman were un-
til recently, residents of this coun-
ty, where they have many friends
and acquaintances. They are also
brothers of J. H. Gorman, Consta-
ble of this precinct.
DALLAS*
a foul murder bv a mob ts denton
county.
Dallas, March IB.—This evening's
Commercial says a man named Taylor,
when riding in Denton county, a mile
and a half from Bullard's mill, saw a
man's body badly decomposed hanging
tfL&n oak limb. The body was recog-
nized as that of a young man named
Robertson, who had been taken from
home some evenings previous by a
party who said they had a Warrant for
his arrest, but who are believed to be
members of a gang that wanted to get
rid of Robertson?.
A Word About Advertising.
Houton Telegram.
The New York Herald of last Sunday,
commenting on its sixty-five solid col-
umna of advertisements, announces that
this great display of effort to attract
business is a striking testimony to the
fact that business is reviving, and con-
fidence in the commercial future is
being rapidly restored. It also makes
this remark on the subjcct of advertis-
ing :
An oíd merchant when asked for the
secret of his great success in life, re-
plied : "Advertising. If you want to
get on in business,advertise."
That the Herald's customers appre-
ciate the truth of that maxim is evident
from its sixty-five columns, containing
more than three thousand advertise,
ments. In these days when competi-
tion is close and prices of merchandise
are declining day by day, no merchant
can afford to keep his goods on hand.
He wants to sell and get the money as
fast as possible, and to do so he must
keep his goods constantly before the
public. Whoever makes the most noise
will get the biggest crowd around him,
whether he be a merchant in a big store
or a wandering peddler on the street
corner.
The San Antonio Express and
the Round Rock Headlight think a
pleasant home and association the
beet influences against dissipation.
The latter paper thinks much good
can be accomplished " if wives,
mothers and sisters will take the
trouble to make home as attractive
and comfortable a3 whisky-dealers
do their saloons: "
Instead of a bleak, dreary house,
substitute a pleasant, attractive home,
with a few flow era and vines, then set
apart a pleasant room, supplied with
lights, books, papers and other attrac-
tions, wLiere the young men of the
family can invito their friends to spund
an evening, and you will soon strike at
the foundation of the saloon-keepers'
strongest temptation.

six miles north of here, was shot
i his morning about 5:30 o'clock,
while in his bed. Particulars not

it was a cowardly murder. He

Sherman, March 13.—Last
night at the Anchor Saloon, in
this city, John Boland and Con.
Campbell, two sporting men, dis-
puting over brave men, became ex-
cited ana agreed to meet two mil*>s
north of- town this morning with
dueling pistols, a forfeit of two
hundred dollars being placed by
each in the hands of a friend. This
morning Con. Campbell was seen
going to the ground in a fine team
ot grays. Boland left shortly af-
terwards in an express wagon, but
did not reach the place named. On
the way, report says, he raised the-
alarm of "police," and ran for the
bushes. Others say no police were
in sight. Tombstones are needless.
News from Dexter says while
officer Nance was trying to arrest a
man named Lamb, he was shot and
killed by Lamb. Lamb has since
surrendered to the authorities.
Ctootl Times Coming, Box*.
Houston Telegram.
The passage of the silver bill has
made operations in Western mining
stocks very active. It is said much
European capital is coming forward
to work the mines.
This shows a return of confi-
dence. Confidence and credit grow
rapidly after they once get a start
and it might, be almost reasonable
to predict that before the end of
1880 business will be as active,
money as plenty and speculation as
rife as was the case in 1870. Noth-
ing but unusual calamities, a uni-
versal failure of crops, war with
some foreign country or an extra-
ordinary war in Europe can pre-
vent such a state of things.
Judge Ireland Not In the Hace.
The Gaudalupe Times of March
9th, contains a letter addressed to
Hon. John Ireland, soliciting per-
mission to place him in nomination
for the office of Governor at the
approaching Convention, and his
reply declining to become a candi-
date. The letter is signed by a
number of the political friends of
Judge Ireland in Gaudalape, Hays
and Gonzales counties. The
Judge's letter concludes as follows :
In conclusion gentlemen, permit me
to say, that your flattering invitation is
very gratifying to me, coming as it dors
from those who bav<; known me so long.
But I have no personal ambition to
gratify, and I do not think that the
public weal requires the use- of my name
as a candidate for Governor in the com-
ing canvass.
With sentiments of the highest re-
gard, I am, Your obliged servant,
JOHN I It ELAND.

The Corruption of Official
Part) Organs.
Bound Hock Headlight.
Some time siLCe we noticed an
article from the Marshall Herald,
favoring the establishment of a
State Democratic organ, sustained
by all the public printing and
printing influence oí the State.
The Her'id said the Democracy
was never so well taught nor the
party paper so powerful aud suc-
cessful as in the good old days when
a State orgau supported by State
money was all the rage. The
Herald is a long distance behind
tho ambulance of progress, and
unlsss the vehicle stops our con-
temporary will have a long trudge
afoot. The best newspapers and
the. best party oracles are those
standing on i^heir own capital, and
the influence as truthful journals
they have been able to reach by
judicious management, and no
party is better taught aud no public
opinion is more wisely moulded
than by these same honorable,
independent newspapers that have
made their owu reputation aud
their own treasury. It is safe to
assume that evry newspaper that
is declared an official political party
organ and is fostered by State funds
and State contracts is fraudulent in
conception and dishonorable and
untruthful in its teachings and
doctrines. The New Orleans Demo-
crat—which paper was cited as an
example of honor by the Herald—
is thoroughly corrupt, and forced
to be so by becoming the State
organ. Read the astouuding dis-
closures recently made concerning
the South Carolina printing busi-
ness and official organs. The cor-
ruption revealed is almost hideous.
They were Republican organs, to
be sure; but if any one believes
that a Democratic organ can not
become, and is not, as corrupt in
political intrigues, such person or
persons are very verdant. To be
brief, the Democratic party needs
none of these subsidized organs. It
is fat for the proprietors, but a
monopoly to honest publishers and
a disgrace to the respectable mem-
bers and readers of any party.
The Wood County Flag says:
" It is amusing to note how dili-
gently the newspapers opposing
Throckmorton for Governor strive
to create the impression that he is
not a candidate."

FAffllVE IN CHINA,
woefui. misbry ahd suffering—
babik8 bom) by the pound for
food.
San Franeifxo Chronicle.
A gentleman in Shanghai writes to a
friend in this city as follows. The
great question which at, present agitaxes
the Flower y Kingdom is the famine at
the North. For fonr years past a part
of four of China's Northern provinces
has yielded either a small crop or none
at all. One year ngo the .suffering was
dreadful among these poor people, who
are worse off than slaves. About that
time $70,000 was raised by foreign
communities at the open ports and for-
warding to disbursing agents, who
made good use of the money. This
year the fimine is still irorse. Orer a
country that embraces a population ©f
some fifteen millions of people, abso-
lute destitution prevails. People are
actually eating each other. Babies are
cut up and sold by the pound. There
seems to be no remedy. The Chinese
authorities are doing something, but it
ts only a drop in the bucket. The for-
eign communities have elected can-
vassing committees ancl the subscrip-
tions will be up in the thousands ; how
much it is impossible to say. From last
year's experience it is estimated that a
life can be saved for about $ 1.50, so
all that can be done will save only a few
out of tbe millions. In the central
provinces there is an abundance of rice.
This is being shipped to the suffering
districts, but it takes a month to reach
them. It costs nearly three times the
price of the rice to carry it to its desti-
nation—no railroads, no canals, not
even a carriage road. Within the past
fifteen years the Chinese government
haa spent money enough on fortifica-
tions, ships, improved arms, and am-
munition to have built a road from
Shanghai to Pekin with branches lead-
ing through the famine districts. The
ships are useless so aro the fortifications;
they both serve only for ai^ excuse to
pay fat salaries to lazy officials. The
arms and ammunition are stored away
rusting so as to be worthless, and
China's millions are starving. Chinese
officials do not want to change the order
of thingB. Why should they? Tho
merchants and tradesmen desire it, but
they have very little to say iu the mat-
ter. If I am rightly informed, with all
their government workshops and arse-
nals, thore has never jeeu an agricult-
ural tool or implement made. Guns,
torpedoes, ships, etc., seem to be their
end and aim. The official class grow
richer and richer each year and the
lower classes poorer and poorer. No
wonder that such numbers are willing
to go to the Pacific coast, where, in a
few years, they can earn a life compe-
tence and lie down and die in their own
land with the millions taken from the
poor laboring classes in our own coun-
try. What kind of people is it who
regard with cool nonchalance their
neighbors devouring their own children V
•Were you to ask them to explain their
strange apathy they would no doubt
give the regular Chinese shake of the
head and say, " Me no sabe."
