ffawn Pushed.—In giving the ac>
coryfr of the scene which occured on.
the^death of Col. Crane, one partizan
report 6ays Mrs. Crane made most
pathetic appeals to have Yerger de-
livered from any punishment.
Another statement is to the effect
that she made most solemn appeals to
havejlissiffiippi reconstructed upon
a loyal basis. The excellent lady
went nearly deranged "when she fell
upon the bloody corpse of her hus-
band, and parties who attempt to
make political capital out of such
heartrending scenes must be hard

Commendable Credulitt.— The
editor of the Galveston News has, no
doubt butthat the, Colorado river is
fed by sqpws from the Rocky Moun*
tains. We presume he adopts the,
theory that the bold springs at the
head of the mountain streams flow
from the subterranean Rocky Moun
tain river. Unfortunately, however,
for this theory of accounting for the
late flood, the Colorado was higher
at LaGrange than at r ny other point,
and the ^oadalupe was higher at
Gonzales than at any point hearer the
snow covered Rucky Mountains. Not-
withstanding these facts, we suppose
wjb ought to surrender to the superior
geographical knowledge of the alma™
nac and map makers.

H UJE.X THE BATT1E IS WON.
When the battle is won—when the
last prop of Radicalism has fallen—
when the right of Conservatism has
triumph—then will the incubus which
has crushed out the life of the country
for over eight years be removed, and
again will we commence the march of
progress. Nature has done all for us,
and if we had seconded her as we
should bare done, we would have the
Eden of America. Look at the great
West and Northwest, with all the dis-
advantage of climate—what unprece-
dented progress they have made in
all that makes a people great, and all
because of their railroad systems.
Lands which a few years ago were in
the wilderness with no settler or
bidder, are now worth one hundred
dollars per acre.
The wilderness has been transform**
ed into a garden. The prairies are
covered with farms, teeming with
health, wealth and happiness. Agents
have been sent to Europe, have been
placed at all the receiving ports, paid
and charged to hurry the hgirdy im-
migrants to those States, and right
faithfully have they done tbe work
assigned them. Thousands upon
thousands of the most orderly, in-
dustrious men and women from the
old world have been induced to make
their homes there, and their energy
and industry have been crowned with
the most splendid success. Intent
upon thrift, they have made the waste
places blossom as the rose. Villages,
towns and cities now cover the coun-
try which a little while ;ago was the
abode of the lavage and the buffalo.
Railroads intersect it in all directions.
A spirit of enterprise pervades the
people, and the progress made in
prosperity is an evidence of what
any people may do with the same
appliances.
If they are prosperous, Texas may
be much more so.
If they are great and happy* Texas
may surpass them.
We have been niggards in action
and policy.
Our statesmen have not risen above
the level of demagogues. When a
spasmodic effort has been made to>
ward progress, it has been crippled
by the cry of squandering the people's
money. - J
Millions for improvement and not a
cent for corrupt politicians should.* be
our motto. Let our honest men, our
practical men, men of sense and soul,
identified with the people, interested
in the country, of enlarged views and
far reaching statesmanship be alone
elected to office, and then may we
hope that Texas may become as great,
as happy and as prosperous as nature
has been lavish in giving her advan-
tages.
China, Japan, Asia, Africa, Europe
and the Islands may all be made to
pay us tribute.
The new constitution charges the
Legislature with encouraging* immi-
gration. Lei the people see to it that
tbe men who offer themselves for seats
are pledged and competent to carry it
out. Let immigrants be invited from
all civilizad "countries and not only in-
vited but encouraged to come.
I Let us have no drones in the next
Legislature. Let them be honest
men, men of sen$e, soul and princi-
ple, not obnoxious to the government
and worthy of the confidence of the
people.
Our future for years to come de
pends upon the next Legislature, and
its capacity and honesty depend upon
the people.

A righteous judgment.
Buffalo Hides.—We were shown
yeiterday evening, by our friend
Thos. Elsbury, two large Buffalo
hides which he obtained at Bryan,
through his agent at that place. These
hides weigh, collectively, 125 lbs.—
the largest one weighs 65 lbs. Mr.
Elsbury informs us (and he does
about the heaviest hide business in
this State,) that these are the largest
buffalo hides he ever saw in this mar-
ket. . These hides will only remain
here for a day or twe, as they will be
shipped to England to fill an order.
In Luck.—A good friend of ours
informed us yesterday that he had
just received the gratifying intelli-
gence that moneyilong since due him,
and of which he had almost despaired
of ever getting, had been paid to his
merchant. This information would
make several of us feel very pleasant
this hot weather,.
Departed! — The Ship Channel
Company's Dredger No. 1, has gone
below to commence work on Clop-
per's Bar. Our friend Will Powers
has gone down as the Engineer to
work at the right place. This is an
evidence of vitality which we are
proud to chronicle. gjgSc^)
Weevils in Corn.—The great loss
to this State annually from weevils
destroying corn after it is housed, may
be prevented, to a great extent, by
planting the hard white flint corn. In
the- southwestern portions of Louiai-.
ana they have a yellow flint* corn
called the Creole corn, that is uni-
versally planted in that section, which
to our personal knowledge resists the
attack of weevil and the large black
or crow bird, and it has occurred .to
us that thousands of bushels of corn
and as many dollars might be saved
annually to our planters by introduc-
ing tllis corn into our State. This
Creole corn yields more to the acre
than the ordinary white, weighs more
to the bushel, contains more* nutri-
tious matter, fattens horses and hogs
quicker, and they consume much less
of it rthan any corn we have .ever
tried. ' -
THE CITY.
It is' with pleasure that we
notice qnite a number of strange faces
in our city, and business of a local
character is quite brisk for the heated
term. 1i'
There is a rumor in our city
that Jimmie Dunn and George Scott,
well known in this city, had been
killed in Bryan some days ago. We
were unable to trace it to a reliable
source.
Recorder's Court—His Honor, J
G. Tracey, presiding.—The attend-
ance at this Court yesterday morning
was meager and decidedly thin. To a
constant and quiet looker on at the
morning receptions of his Honor's
Court, we confess to a feeling of dis
appointment on taking our accus-
tomed seat yesterday.
Can it be possible, thought we, that
the morals of our city have so sud-
denly changed for the better, as to
produce the result before us. This is
as good a Court of its kind as can be'
found in any city, the officers prompt
and obliging, and why should it not
be patronized ? That's the question.
Probably that fine against Cora Lee,
yesterday, of $70, has had a salutary
effect. We hope so.
The only cases presented to His
Honor for adjustment yesterday, was
the garbage case of dray No. 71, the
driver of which was fined ten dollars
and ordered to remove the offensive
animals; the officer was instructed to
detain him in custody until the seni

The Examiuer is the name of a new
paper of geod size and well printed,
just started in Paris, Lamar county,
published by Thomas R. Newton ; A. '
P. Boyd, editor. This new candidate
for Parisian favor is democratic in
politics, but will probably support
Jack Hamilton for Governor. The
editor says:
What we desire above all else is to
get a place in the Union on fair and
liberal terms, without the least com-
promise of honor and self respect, and

can believe this. The first time we

Captain Kige Highsmlth brings us
additional frontier news. He says
be and his friend Captain Wheeler
came near losing their scalps at the
hands of those bloody Indians that
recently raided throngh Parker, Den-
ton and Tarrant counties. They made
Dexter time in eluding their pursuers.
Subsequently, the same party of In-
dians that had pursued them met an
old man driving a lumber wagon,
having three children on his wagon,
when the Indians dispatched the tour
by killing them outright. Truly the
frontier is bleeding at every porfe.-^

The human stomach has been shamefully perse-
cuted organ. There was a time when for every dire-
liction of duty it was punished with huge doses of tae
most disgusting and neauseous drugs. In vain-it

the hands of those who administered them. They
were fo>cd upon it again and ayain, until its solvent
power was thoroughly drenched out of it ,
The woiliJ is wiser now than it win in that drastic
