We learn from Mr. Frank. Har-
ria, late from I be Indian Agency,
that the crops on ihc Reserve are as
good as could bo dea i rod. That ro
I gion lias had plenteous showers of
rain during the present season, and
its rich valleys show a growing
prospect of an abundant supply of
corn for the frontier. Mr. II, also
reports the wheat crops good. .In
this county the wheat crop is also
much better than wus anticipated.
Tlilc week commences hapest sea-
son, and ttic farmers are busy. The
wheat fields will yield and average
of from 12 to 1/3 bushels to the acre,
and from the increased quantity of
lands sown, the aggregate amount
of wheat produced will g«wa 7
cccd tho crop of any preceding
year.

The Crops. 1 longing to tha jurisdiction of Mi*
The.* latter prat of last wc^ltllatn, and over which the District
! brought upon this section of com.i^irt of tho 3rd Judicial District
i try a lino ruin—something after the^ ^Vall tho timo exercised de facto
i order of that one we had the plear- ("j\^Kiction.
act organizing ibe 3rd Judi-
cial District gave it juripdie'ion
oypr this territory while it belonged
to Milam, and the act creating Hie
new counties did not dcalrmj -that
jurisdiction, or interfere with it in
any wuy. The 9ame may he said
in regard to the representation in
tho Legislature of ihe territ...ty com-
prised in the limits of^ these now
counties. That territory belonged
to onr Representative District pre-
vious to the creation of the new
counties, and the same territory be-
longs to it still, and will, until a
fiew District is formed making it
otherwise. Tho creution of the new
counties did not exclude them from
representation in the Legislature.
To answer the inquires of M.j in
regard to the county of Palp Pinto,
re is oniy necessary to determine to
what District the/erritory compris-
ing it belong^ previous to its for-
-mation. ft has always been our
impretfldim that it was part of our
District. The a£ creating the coun-
ty authorized tho Chief Justice of
Bosque to hold an election for coun-
ty officers in Falo Pinto, from which
it might be inferred-lhat its territo-
ry belonged to tho samo jurisdic-
tion with Bosque. Wo have not
tho act creating the county of Mi-
lam, but it has always been said
that its territorial jurisdiction ex-
tended to tho neighborhood of the
head waters of the Brazos. Young
county does not belong to our Dis-
trict, becauso the act creating it ro
moved it to the 16th Judicial Dis-
trict. No specification of this na-
ture was made in regard to any
other of the new counties having
territory immediately 'West of the
Brazos, and the inference is there-
fore conclusive, that the jurisdic-

containing tho communication of
" Justice' may never reach him, and
last (and well to bo marked) this
communication of " Juslicc " has
been madeíí«re[N. B.] tire passage
of Judge Baylor through I his place.
These facts, sir, I mention in ex-
cuso of what might otherwise bo
considered a gratuitous task on my
part, in noticing this unjust com-
munication of " Justiceand to
suggeit to youf readers the covert
nnkindnesa ofsaid communication.
" Justice," with a full apprecia-
tion of what ho calls tho " true tests "
for those applying for Judicial offi-
ceá, charges Judge Baylor, in bis
chaste language, of attempting to
" honey-fngglc " (spirit of Webster
rap twice) the Know-Nothing par-
ty, and to lug politics into the can-
vass. The absurdity of this chargc
is patent upon its face. Is Judge
Baylor so thoroughly ignorant of
tho political complexion of this
District as to raise an issue of this
character? Would it bo policy in
him so to do ? Docs be not know
that thcro are a hundred Argus-
eyed " Justices" ready to dctect him,
and delecting him cry "crucify him,
in the name of Democracy, crucify

have lV, doubt but Judge Baylor
would Wlily declare his political
principleBton any occasion, when

MO. A
Reoeptlon of Oeneral Walker.
The Picayttnq thus graphically
describes the reception of General
Walker it) New Orleans :
Tho stfamship landing yesterday
afternoon was dtin«ely crowded to
witness the arrival of Gen. Walk-
er and suite on ioard the Empire
City. As early as three o'clock
knots of men were seen there gaz
iug steadily towards the point, hop
ing to seo signs of the ship in thó
distance. At about 6 o'clock the
crowd had increased to about two
thousand* and the conversation of
the difierent circlts became exceed-
ingly animated. All, of course
wished to seo Gt^ri. Walker ; some
thought tho whole matter a boax
others again werq afraid tho Gen.
might have eomt off tho steamer
already. A few 'returned Nieara-
gnans were fighting their battles
over again, and telling oí tho days
of Granada and Masaya. "Young
America" was also largely repro
sentcd, and a little girl was asking
whether that was the Black Warrior
coming.
At about six o'clock a boy dis-
covered the flag of the Empire City,
frora behind the chimneys of tlie
Sparhawk, and fro re/that moment
thousands of oyes \yere fixed at '.bat
flag till it roun
with spectators,
was on the qui v
ed the point.—
Meanwhile the Ci irle Morgan and
Moxico were booming crowded
and expectation
>e when the Em
pire City roundeñ the point, and
was greeted wii i a salute. She
promptly returnd the courtesy, and
soon came rapid y up tho river.
As she passed :he Texas steam-
ships l hey also
Joseph street, hi
tho enthusiasm
luted and cheered
her; but it war it tho foot of St.
own wharf, whore
as the greatest.—
Nine cheers wer proposed and giv-
en. "Where's
him up!" "Out

rc uttered. At last
came out and
bowed to tho Anvd. Hundreds

Land Claims Coming Before the Commis-
sioner's Court.
Dr. A. Ilacklifl of Laredo, Webb
county, represents the fact of per-
sons being engaged on the Rio
Grande in buying up false claims.
Mexicans who were participants in
the war and fought against Texas
—persons who have not lived in
the country for more than two years,
and others equally undeserving are
selling what they pretend to be
their claims for headright certifi-
cates. They go before the author-
ities—take the required oath:—the
purchasers have the witnesses on,
band to make all tho necessity
proof, and all tho papers come-up
to tho Court of piarms regularly
made put. Thp Doctor is of opin
ion, that nin</ out of ten of th
claims lbus bought and thus pr
sentcd are not genuine. He saysi
hundreds have buen made out. He
'has lived on the Rio Grande twen
ty-seven years and ought to know
who is entitled to land ; and he re-
fers to others to substantiate tho
tijnth of his statements. In view of
these things it would be well for the
Coni'r of the Court of Claims-and
for purchasers to be on the look
out to prevent frauds from being
perpetrated on tho State and to a-
void paying out money for nothing.

" Rufus II. Folder, Esqr., is an-
nounced in the Washington (K. N.)
American, as an independent De-
mocratic.' ! candidate for Congres8
in the Western district.—Exchange.
Mr. Felder was a candidate be-
fore the Democratic meeting in
Washington county for legislativo
nomination. Older and wiser man
were chosen, for he is very young,
and proves by his acts that he lacks
wisdom. Defeated in his first as-
piration, he now rallies under, a sus-
picious flag, speciously termed in-
dependent, and seeks a higher posi-
tion. Mr. Bryan will no doubt de-
cline in his favor ! Rufus II. Fol-
der and French Smith are in tho
field! —Stand from under t
