Radicalism, it is the duty of every
good man to discountenance it and
commencing farm operations. Land-
owners are on the qui vive for good,
reliable tenants. There is unlimited
space for the industrious. Land can
be rented in any way desired, and
the richest land in the world, may;
in remote localities, be purchased on
the most liberal terms.
These thoughts are induced and
printed, immediately from a contem-
plation of the number of men all
over the country out of employment,
and many of them suffering for the
necessities of life.
It is useless to disguise the fact—
Houston is as prosperous to-day as
any town in Texas—much more so
than the great majority of the
northern cities and yet we have many
good, honest, industrious, brawny-
armed men out of employment; men
with families yearning and thirsting
for work.
Said a prominent boss builder to
Miss Mollie Cornish away up in
Clay county, split 1000 shingles in
one day, the Northwest informs us.
Well, this is the sort of girl that a
redskin wouldn’t like to tackle, and
her mission clearly is to develope the
wilderness. Of such staunch stuff
were the matrons of the Revolution.
Buffalo Bill.—This worthy, who
escaped from jail not long since, was
re-arrested at the Chienne Agency,
brought down and delivered to Sher-
iff Gee, on last Wednesday evening,
and is again snugly enchased by the
old familiar walls. He will now
probably await the next term of the
district court, as he has some business
to attend to at that time. William’s
manner of settling differences of
opinions is not all times commenda-
ble, though it may be very effectual;
and should be generally discouraged.
We hope that a liberal dose of limbo
will convince the youth of the errors
of his ways and induce her to reform.
He is the individual, we believe, who
shot and wounded young Ikard a few
months since.—Texas Northwest.
We have been a little skeptical of
the existence of this individual, but
it appears that he does vegetate upon
our distant frontier in spite of our
doubts.
Peace.—The Sutton-Taylor feud
is probably at an end. The death of
Jim Taylor leaves the party without
a leader; Bill Taylor having been
seriously wounded the night Reube
Brown was killed. Peace reigns in
our county once more.—Cuero Star.
Immigrants from Mississippi are
settling around Cuero.
Early Corn.—Dr. Wallace informs
A colony of sixty-seven Kentuck-
make their arrangements for ians have settled in Grayson county.

we ought to have green corn all the

Live Oak County must be in an
exceptional bad way, and for a pas.
toral people they certainly have an
extraordinary class of men among
them. The lowing of kine,the green
grasses and pure waters, the honey,
the milk and sunny air of that poetic
piece of God’s earth should certainly
inspire other than blood-thirsty emo-
tions. But so it seems to be—
“Every prospect pleases,
And man alone is vile.”
The Oakville Tribune tells the tale
in the following three items:
Attempted Murder.—Last week
a party of two men rode up to Peter
Perclllo’s house, near Lagarto, called
him out to inquire the way to Lagart
and while Peter was giving them
the proper directions, one of the par-
ty fired at and shot him through the
right breast or near the shoulder.
They instantly tied, and though Per-
ciller was severely stunned, he drew
his six-shooter and fired. They spoke
in English, but as it was dark could
not be recognized.
Found—Near the San Antonio
road, about six miles above the cross-.
ing on Weedy, by J. D. Edwards,
the remains of some unknown man,
who had evidently been murdered.
From appearances the body must
have been left where the deed was
committed, and from the advanced
stage of decomposition, must have
been lying there for four or five
weeks.
It was also learned that another shep-
herd, Juan Travinio. who had charge ________________

Another. colony of forty families
from Danville, Va., are coming, be-
fore planting tiime, to settle on the
clear and salubrious waters of the
Medina west of San Antonio, their
intention being, of course, to engage
in sheep raising and stock culture.

Last night we attended a social
dance give at the Fannin House, in
the Second Ward. We enjoyed very
much looking at the young ladies and
gentlemen step the light fantastic,
but, as we are old we did not indulge
in the dance. But wa made up for
all that when we came to the supper
table, where was spread a full sup-
ply of coffee, cakes, pies, nuts and
candies. You may always count us
twice when it comes t the table.

work. All these men ask for is
wages sufficient to keep their wives
and children out of want. A man, an
old friend, and a good man,, too, came
to me a few days ago and appealed
to me for a job of work. He said
the wolf was at his door. I had a
little job which my regular men
could have done, but my sympathies
were appealed to and when I asked
him to make an estimate of the price
at which he would do it, he aston-
ished me, so much was it below the
price which it would cost me to have
it done myself.”
Now, the fact is, these people
ought to betake themselves to farms.
There they are secure against the
advance of the wolf Every mem-
ber of the farmer’s growing family
may be employed in some way,
which, at the end of the year, will

farmers in Texas who were brought
up to other pursuits. Where there
is an'earnest will there is a way.
Mother Earth is a very kind mother.
Colonies Com ng.
The Information from Mr. J. H.
McKay, the immigration man of
Congress street this morning is that
the following colonies are soon to ar-
rive in our State and become com-
ponent parts thereof:
One hundred families, in a body,
hailing from Kansas City, Mo., have
And now Lamar has been elected
to the United States Senate by the
Mississippi Legislature, with but one
dissenting voice. But the Radicals
voted blank because Marse Grant is
going to look into the last election in
that State, and they hold that every-
thing must be in statu quo until after
the “investigation.” What a com-
mentary upon the old Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions defining the
rights of States! Yo Gods! it is
enough to make the hot blood boil
and bubble in the veins of the de-
scendants of the revolutionary fath-
ers to see a sovereign* State thug set
upon by a Federal President.
And this, too, at the solicitation of
Africans who were snatched from
barbarism and brought into the light
and blessings of civilization by the
hands which they now endeavor to
lacerate. Not the Africans indeed,but
rather the besotted and thieving
white camp-followers who essay to
control them. The black men should
not keep such company, but should
rather turn and throttle them. This
attempt of the radical president illus-
trates the dominant spirit of radical-
ism. They hold that the Stares have
no rights which they may not dare to
trample upon. They did it in
Louisiana. E. J. Davis prepared for
it even here in our own State, but
was disappointed at the eleventh
hour. He and his brother conspira-
tors had by correspondence with the
Central Government been induced to
believe that Federal troops would
come to his aid, and his traitor band
quickly lighted the torch to set the
State a-blaze with revolution once
more. These are the men that lead
the Radical party throughout the
South to-day, and each and all of
them would bail with joy another
conflict between the States.
But, in the language of Ben Hill,
the South will never again secede,
We will have our rights in the
