The city council at the special
meeting Tuesday night, was engaged
in comparing the state charter with
the present charter of this city, with
a view ot adopting the state charter,
if deemed for the interest ot the
city.
Our readers are aware that the
original charter granted, was amen-
ded at an election.held in May, 1S75-
Under the original charter the mar-
shal was elected by the council, taxes
were assessed by the .treasurer and
collected by the marshal, and a re-
corder tried offenses against the or-
dinances. The amended charter abol-
ished the office of recorder, impos-
ing the duties performed by him
upon the mayor, created the office
of assessor and collector, ordained
that the marshal should be elected
by the people and nSade some other
changes of not very material char-
acter.
Some parties now contend that as
the amendments have not been rati-
fied by the state legislature, they are
null and void. This view is enter-
tained idso by some of the best legal
talent in the county. If this is cor-
rect it follows that assessments made
' - . •. ' "*
sjnee the new charter" went into
effect' are illegal and per sc ipso
collections cannot be enforced.
Others, on the contrary, contend that
the amended charter needs no ratifi-
cation by the legislature.
Now the only way, probably, to
discover whether the amended char-
ter is of legal force or not, is by a
decision of the supreme court. It
might, however, be several years be-
fore^ decision could be reached, and
it is reasonable to suppose that
many, if not the majority of tax pay-
ers, would refuse to pay taxes, if a
suit were instituted, until the decis-
ion was rendered. What would the
city come to under such circum-
stances? ,
Outstanding taxes since the char-
ter amendment came into effect,
amount to about $20,000 (outstand-
ing taxes prior to May 1S75, are
about $8,000.) Collection of the
same under the present state of af-
fairs is apparently, almost, if not
quite, impossible, owing to the doubt
regarding the charter the city is now
working under. The chances that
the legislature will ratify the amend-
ments are doubtful, as from Section
5, Article 11, Revised Statutes, it
appears that only cities having more
than>io,ooo inhabitants may have
their charters granted or amended
by special act of the legislature.
Now in order to get out of this
muddle, it is thought that the adop-
tion of the state charter is the only
remedy left. With its adoption
it would oniy be necessary to re-as-
sess delinquent tax property assessed
since 1S75, and the collection could
then be enforced.
The more important differences
between the two charters consist in
creating the office of recorder, pro-
viding however that this office may
be filled by the mayor, if the coun-
cil sees proper; in providing that the
council may fix the tees of officers,
which are now fixed by the charter;
further that the* city attorney and
secretaiy now elected by the council
Bhall be elected by the people ; city
officials to be elected for two years
instead of one as heretofore ; and it
makes some alteration in judicial
proceedings in the mayor's court;
provides a more effectual way for
the collection of taxes, and gives
more authority to the council in levy-
ing occupation tax*
If the council at its meeting to-
night should adopt the state charter,
the present city officials would hold
over until Agril, when an election
would be ordered for all city offi-
cials, mayor, councilmen and the
balance. A new deal all around.
A Useful Invention
Some monthslhice we called at- j The Baptist church passed the
tention to a novel hoe invented by lowing resolutions Wednesday i
Mr. T. V. Munson, of this city. I Whereas, After investigation.
The instrument was pretty
ed in our own garden at that time,
iablc to enter-
and our report was that it was a val-
uable article. Mr. Munson has re-
cently had dies made tor cutting out
and shaping the plates, and has com-
menced their manufacture. The in-
struments are on sale at Leeper's
hardware store where they can be
examined. Mr Munson calls his
Invention The Diamond Scuffltr and
Subsoiler. It is constructed on an
entirely different principle from any
hoe in the market, and is especially
intended fdr use in the garden. Our
opinion is that it saves about half
the labor and will accomplish fully
double the work of the old fashioned
hoe. Another advantage is that it
is inexpensive, consequently we see.
nothing to hinder its general intro-
duction. Mr. Munson is also pre-
pared to fill orders by mail.- . ~

Mr. T. V. Munson's nursery busi-
ness has increased so rapidly the
past year that he has had to aban-
don his gardening this year, and is
putting in every moment of time in
his orchard. He is now devoting
considerable attention to testing new
varieties of peaches and other fruits,
for the purpose of learning which
are best adapted to our climate.
This is the kind of work the most
needed in our state just now, and
Mr. Munson's researches will no
doubt prove highly valuable to the
horticulturists of Texas. While he
is testing and introducing new vari-
eties he is supplying his customers
with all the standard varieties ot
fruits for this latitude. Mr. Munson
is every way reliable and it would
be to the interest of our farmers to
give him their orders rather than t®
irresponsible traveling solicitors front
other stales.

A small paper, but well filled,
reaches us from Dallas. Its title is,
The'Liberal Leagtre Advocfate, and
its motto is, Privilege for None—
Justice for All. Its principal aim,
as set forth in the salutatory, is the
total divorcement of church from
state. It advocates taxing church
property ; dispensing with chaplains
paid by either the state or general
government; simple affirmation to
take the place of judicial oaths, and
the abolition ot all laws forcing the
obsei vance of the Christian or any
other sabbath. The League stands
on constitutional ground, and its
preaching is pretty sound democrat-
ic doctriae, in its broadest sense—
accords to all equal rights and privi-
leges without favoritism.
Dr. W. J. Gibso^, of Ark., writes:
"For many years ijiy wife was a sufferer
from a terrible female complaint that
battled the skill of all physicians around
me. There seemed no hope for her. I
was made acquainted with Dr. Drom-
gool's English Female Bitters, and know-
ing them to be good, I procured several
bottles and placed her upon its use They
cured her sound and well, and I do not
hesitate to say, they saved her life."

The editor of the Herald persists
in misrepresenting' me before this
community. In his issue of May
3d, the first paragraph utters a false-
hood. I did not withhold it from
the knowledge of this community or
from the pi ess—I wrote a note on
the subject for the press and handed
it to Mr. Thompson to have it print-
ed. It was announced in both par
pel's, but not as I wrote it. jjM\
Moreover, I called on Dr. Mat-
thews on the subject, with a request
that he announce it to his people;
also I called on Rev. Decker, who
made a similar announcement.
In canvassing my section of the
city, I made it known everywhere,
and appealed for an extension of
hospitality to thr delegates of the

twice, and the church limited the
time to close the matter and report

In the Herald of the 4th, the edi-
tor says: '"We have a right to say
that Elder Koue made an especial
request of his people that nothing
should be said to the press until af-
ter all arrangements had been
made."
This is also false. The church
in conference requested it.
