A part of the community about Cor
alcana has' been afflicted for some
time past with ‘do sol mo” ou the
brain, which culminated in a Sacred
Concert on Saturday night las't/and
the organization of a choir. The
Observer answers the Monitor's iqqui-
ry of “Who is Jack Hamilton?” by
the suggestion that Jack Hamilton
is doubtlesstbe son of old Mrs. Ham-
ilton. We imagine him to be a reg-
ular descendant of Ham, the son of
Noah bat we would not insult tbe
women of Texas so uublushingly as
to presume that such au abortion as
Jack Hamilton overbad auy mother,
or at ^post that she was a woman!

The Banner is a small shot, but a
hot one. One of the editors very
pithily, but pleasantly, relates his
adventures at the nigger pow wow,
alias the Badical Convention at Gal-
veston, and tells how he and others
of the.carpetbag persuasion resolved
that Jack Hamilton is a jrebel, Gen 1
Reynolds au old ’oman, and nigger
Buby a talented gentleman and no
ble statesman. The spring fights
had opened out in real earnest in
Bf&nbam, and the city had realized
as much as $100 iu one day off the
gay and fist-ire auiasements. in Hw
way of flues Bishop Gregg was in
town preaching & baptizing, and con
firming children. The tanner thinks
that in case we raise a row with the

will be forjiUbed for a few thousand

Now, don’t that boat Bobtail !
Such unwashed, unblushing, untuiti
gated, unregenerate, unsanctifled, un-
reconstructed, ungodly impudence
was never1 before heard of ! Whoop-
ee ! But we never did know a real
ngly fellow who was not always try-
iug to impeach some handsome man’s
good appearance.' And now, we are
bound, iu ^elf defence, to tell that
story of the Barlow Knife. You
know the Barlow Knife story, don’t
you, Bro. Hare ? Should imagiue
you did. Well, our readers must
know it too.
For the last twenty years, there
has been a Barlow Knife going the
rounds of the 7th Judicial District
among the lawyers, each ugly lawyer
carrying said Barlojf Knife until an
uglier lawyer was found, when he,
by virtue of a decision from the
Bench, was immediately put iu pos
session of Nile remarkable emtlery,
and sworn te bs#’ Bed to held, the
eaofce tin til more Wtorthy taimant
should, by Virtue of his ngliness and
^by dint of the Judge’s decision, be

we dou’t agree with you as to award-
ing the medals—We think tbe finest
baby should be awarded au elegant
crib, aud that the sitver should be
aid out for dolls, to be given to those
unfortunate parents in tbe county
who have no fine babies to bring to
tbe Show. Bat who will be the judg-
es of tbe babies ? This is the diffl
culfcy. If you appoint young gentle-
men. young ladies, bachelors and old
maids on the Committee of Examin-
ation—they can not be expected to
know anything about what it-takes
to constitute a fine specimen. If yon
appoint married folks who have ba-
>ies of their own—they will decide
that one to be the finest specimen,
which is nearest like their own In
the name of all the babies iu Texas
then, we ask, how are we to get an
in partial decision? Settle this diffi-
culty, and we will have the Baby
Show without fail. -i.< gi

Registration.—Satrap Reynolds’
order regulating the coming registra-
tion is in effect the same as governed
tbe old Boards, aud will exclude
nearly all that are not now register-
ed. No* man can jvote unless he is
duly registered, says the new consti-
tution, and this order prohibits at
least teu thousand of the best citi
zens ot our State from registering.
The scales will doubtless begin to
fall from the eyes of those self-blindad
statesmen, ere long, who are making
solace out of the notion that if we
will only accept the constitution all
will then be allowed the right of suf
frage. A more foolish hallucination
was never dreamed into a visionary
brain. j

the Court prononuced them equally
