Tiie rumor having gained credence that Mr.
SAMUEL STRASBURGER had reasons for aban-
doning Galveston, leaving his friends to assume
that he was drowned, I beg to state that no such
reason existed as far as known to me, aud certain-
ly none that in any way relates to his business.
All the property intrusted to his care, together
with his own, has been found, upon investigation,
to be intact, with not a paper or dollar missing,
either of his private papers or those of the firm.
I am satisfied that the above facts, taken in con-
nection with the circumstances of his drowning,
which I have had thoroughly investigated, war-
rant me in stating that such rumors do great
injustioe to the memory of a man who was always
upright and honest in all matters.

ter were mstructed for Horace Chilton for Con-
gress. . . .
The telearraph and ticket offices are drapod in
mourning, as a token of respect for the late D. H.
Healv, chief train dispatcher of theTyle:* division
of the International and Great Northern Railroad,
who was shot dead last night at this place by a
conductor named Cook.
[The following telegram is from a supporter of
Governor Hubbard :1
Tylk*, July 12.—The Democratic County con-
veation of Smith county met in Tvler yesterday.
The conventi n was held under a call of
the chairman of the Executive Commit-
ter. to elect delegates to the State con-
vention only. The delegates were divided in
their choice for Congress between Hubbard and
Ohiiton, with Chilton delegates in the majority.
Many of the Chilton delegates had been selected
by primary meeting of the convention, called with-
out proper notice and manipulated ro secure the
majority vote; while there was a delegation from
a particular club for Chilton, without respect
to the rights or demands of the Hubbard mem-
bers. The convention, by a stretch of power,
gave the Chilton men a majority representation
from there of seven delegates; although the Tyler
?redact was overwhelmingly for Hubbard. The

The Topic of the Day—Verdict on the
Death of Jaclt Harris—Surrender of
Beu. Thompson—The Funeral.
LSpecial Teiegram to The Ne .vs. |
San Antonio, July 12.—The only news in the
city to-day may be said to be the Thompson-Har-
ris tragedy. This subject dominates all others,
and has been the conversation everywhere all the
day. The facts are substantially as telegraped you
last night.
Thompson was not arrested at all last evening
he sending word to the officers that he would gi»e
himself up when the exci'ement was over. This
he did by sending word to the superintendent of
the police this morning that he was ready to be ar-
rested, and he is now in jail.
The inquest was held to-day and a verdict given
that Harris died from a p'istoi-shot wound a d
that the pistol was held in tiie hand- of Ben
Thompson, a vary open verdict and one that dv»es
not criminate Thompson at all. Thompson him-
self take-the mater with a coolness and sang
froid simply amazing. He appears to be very
little interested in the event, and beyond an occa-
sional word to bis attorneys, ne dismisses the thing
in a matter-of-fact way.
The Harris theater aud saloon are shut up. It is
not yet decided whether the place will be opened
again. The funeral took p ace to-day. at 5 o'clock,
from his house. The Rev. J. W. Neil was the
officiating clergyman. A considcra'tle crowd
gathered to see the funeral. Thirty-six
carriages were in the procession to the
grave, and the streets were lined with
people. His death will have some influence on
politics here, he being an old C>nfeder^te soldier
and a strong Democrat. In fac , Jack Harris al-
most ran the city politically, unseated officials,
and put his nominees in place. Although the
owner of a notoricrus place, he was not a'l bad. He
had a large heart, and was a generous friend and
free giver to charitable aud of ner objects
The preliminary examination of Thompson
takes place to-morrow morning. The feeling is
still very high. A representative of Th* Nkws
interviewed Thompson to-day but he stated at
present he had no statement to make publicly.
He will have eniii.snt counsel, aud the State will
be strengthened by several volunteers who hav«
offered to help to proseoufe.
The whole course of the case will be eagerly
scanned and watched by the v>hole western por-
tion of the State, where* both men are well kr.owu.

Questions of Taxation and Bonds—

neys-The Governorship.
LSpecial Telegram to The News.1
Austin, July 18.—The comptroller, replying to
the tax-collector of Brazos county respecting a re-
turn by H. C. Edrington, a banker at Bryan,
which the collector did not think complied with
the law in the matter of rendltic a for legal tender
notes, says legal U nder cotes Issued at the treas-
ury of the United States are of the same nature as
Uuited States bonds, and are not taxable. He says
the tax law, strictly construed, as bow on the
statute book, would require banks to pay double
tax on a large portion of their property by taxing
it a3 property, and also the same property as
money. The law on this subject is au exact copy
of the Illinois law, with the exception of the in-
congruity of charging the credits against the
banks.
Dr. Swearingen, State health officer, to-day filed
a certificate with the comptroller tnat the amount
of $300t) has been subscribed bv the citizens of
Galveston, in addition to the $16,000 appropriated
by the Stat.% for building a dis.nfecting warehouse
at Galveston.
The $21,000 is deemed sufficient by the health
officer to complete the work.
The comptroller ha- notice from the collector
of Galve-ton county that he holds $6000 ad valo-
r m tax belonging to the State, and subsidy
amounting to $5254, Galveston subsidy funds, col-
lected from the Galveston Wharf Company, about
which t o- ques ion i.s pending as to whether the
city of Galvcat ju's interest in the wharf company
shall be taxed. The comptroller has Instructed
the collector not to pay the money into the reas-
ury until the questiou is decided as to whether
the interest of the city in the wharf company is
taxable. The question was submitted to the at-
torney-general by the comptroller ou the 30th ul-
timo, aud the matter rests until hiS opinion is
given.
The comptroller says as to the amount of sink-
ing fund now in the treasury to the credit of Bexar
county, subjact to be u.-e t either for ths purchase
of the Bexar county railway subsidy bonds issued
to the Galveston, Htrrisburg and San Antonio
road, or tor partial payment on the same, that it
now exceeds 516,000. 'The contract, he say-, be-
tweeu Bexar county and the holders of the rail-
road sub-idy bonds was that two per cent, of the
sinking fuud should be paid every year on the bonds
and thus the interest drcreased. He has offered
either to purchase bonds at par to the extent
of the sinking fund in the treasury, or to make
partial payment on the bonds no-v outstanding.
The next interest will be due in September, and
the comptroller says, emphatically, tnat the cou-
pons will not be paid at their face value, as he
will enter on the boud register in his office the par-
tial pa} ment due on each bond by which the an-
nual interest is decreased. The sinking fund thus
registered as applie I is subject vo the orders of
the owners of the bond*. The comptroller holds
that the law under which the bonds were issued
was alike for the benefit of tee oouuty and bond-
holders. Tne county has the right to pay 10 per
cent, on ths face of each bond, and thus decrease
the annual interest, and the bondholders have the
right to demand 2 per cent, on each bond.
Judge Forster, mail agent, is flooded with oom-
plaints from postmasters respecting the growing
uncertainty of the mails, and from some points of
a complete clog ia :he service. At Liberty Hill
three carloads of mail have acuiuinulated. The
postmaster at Uvalde telegraphs that they can
not get any one to carry the mail from Eagle~Pa-s,
and pretty near the same condition of things ex-
ists between Burnet and Llano. In view of the ne-
cessity for immediate action Judge Forster is using
tne wires freely with Washington to have tempo-
rary autlit>rity given the postmaster to meet the
emergency. The trouble grows out of the prac-
tice by Star-routers of underbidding all opposi-
tion, with the expectation of having their contract
doubled or trebied—a practice that the depart-
ment has sat down upon. The postmaster here
has been telegraphed to employ conveyance at
anv figures to relieve the mail at this point. Suit
will be brought against all these backward S ar-
ronters or their official bond, and there is quite a
big harvest in prospect for the lawyers.
The governor, referring to a letter from this
point published in a western paper and purporting
to have been written by Judgs Hare, of Dallas, in
which the latter withdraws his name for nomina-
tion for tiie office of attorney-general, assigns as a
reason that Judge Bledsoe will resign on account
-f failing beaith, and that his (Hare's) partner,
Mr. Head, will take his place on the bench, says
he has no intimaiion that the judge is about to re-
sign. and that he had never thought of appointing
.Mr. Head If such an evoct were to happen.
Iu the Russoll case to-day Judge Turuer refused
to admit ia evidence statements oi Russell con-
cerning the crooked accounts at the time they
were approved by the ceurt. The defense proved
the payment by Russell in fuil of sundry items in
thcee accounts, that had been attacked as fraudu-
lent by the prosecution. In cross-examination of
Chief Clerk Huppei ty, the prosecution attempted
to establish thv fac. that at the time of court
wiien the services were rendered for which the
accounts were rendered, the mar-hal was pressed
for money, and did not pay expenses of the court.
The object was to show when this was in that
upon R^srell leaving Washington to attend that
term of the court he drew $12,000 for the ex-
penses. Judge Turner ruled out all that kind of
evidence.

Turkish Policy.
Constantinoplr, July 13.—Said Pasha, the new
president of the council of ministers, has renew-
ed the request of the porte that the bombard-
ment of Alexandria cease, but it is
that England is unable to give effect to this re-
quest because Said Pasha can offer no guarantee
i hat Arabi Pa«ha 'would acquiesce in Admiral
Seymour's demands. The majority of ministers
are in favor of an nn-aas«meuf by the Powers.

ot Musurus Pasha, Turkish embassador at London,
that England, in bombarding Alexandria, acted in
the r.ame of Europe.

Pa?ha, Turkish commissioner in Egy^t, are being

mour had merely cautioned merohitut vessels
that they would pass through the Suez r-a^al »c
their own risk. lie added that he was unaware
that torpedoes had been laid in the canal.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to Mr. Gourley, an ad-
vanced Liberal, said ho he had made communica-
tions to other goverumon s in regard to free navi-
gation of tha Suez canal, which he thought it hi&
duty to maktf.
Mr. Gourlev moved an. adjournment ia order tc*

tion, declaring that the action of England was

The Times on England's Firm Attt»
tude.
London, July. 12.—The Times in a leading ar-
ticle this morning eays: |Musurus Pasha, the.
Turkish embassador, had an interview ye-terday-
with Earl Granville and demanded that the ordev*
for the bombardment of Alexandria be counter-
manded. Earl Granville replied that circumstances;
compelled the British government to take decisis
ac ion, and that its decision could
not be revoked. We do not hesitate to
s-'iy that the effect of England's determi-
nation has been to produce a most favorable
impressiou both on public ooiniou and the judg-
ment of European statesmen. Representatives ol!
three of the powers have already expressed satts-
facioti at the government^ action. There is
therefore no ground whatever for the assertion
that the action of England is judged by Europe as
nigh-handed or unnecessary. If the porte refuses
to intervene in Egypt wo shall gladly welcome tho
ssisianceof France, and signs are not wanting
that M. De x rev eiuet has shown timidity, little to
the taste of his coun rymen,
Gambettamade a speech yesterday in one of tlie
bureaus of ihe Chamber, io the course of which
h * said: The most se.rijus feature was that
Eitgland and France, after l aving acted together
at Alexandria in presenting their, ultima urn, had
pjjaed company, and that if the^epar ition provea
definitive, never would France have been iu a more
serio Us position, is a sign of public opinion not to
be ne glee ted.
The Times Paris correspondent reports that M.
NobletX minister of interior aud of works, reply-
ing to CJambetta in regard lo Egvp'iau affairs,
s iid France had not co-operated in the bombard-
ment bet*au-eEngland's conduct did nor seem to her
to be justified, and because France did not desire to
emerge .*rom the European concert. The corre-
spondent odds that it i- at l~yi-:. three weeks since
England p roposed to France to join in the occu-
pation of tli « Eses canal, but as France raised ob-
jection Engl anc gave up the idea of French co-
on ^ration In tnat direction, and turned her atten-
tion to Alexandra!. Since then she has constantly
urged France *o keep her company, and until the
last moment she hari not given up hopes.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
Commodore Shufeldt's Diplomacy.
San Francisco. July 12 —A Yokohama letter,
dated June 23, received per steamer Gaelic, says
the latest advices indicate that Commodore Shu-
feldt's treaty withCtrea promises more compli-
cations t..au any other recent act of Eastern di-
plomacy. It was originally so managed under
Chinese influences as to i.iflict a petty affront on
Japan by producing the impression that no con-
vention with Corea is legitimate tmless negotiated
through Chiasse guidance and authority, thi ow-
ing discredit on the early treaty between Corea and
Japan. It was also contrived with a vie w of euforc-
ing the fav rite Chlne- e theorv ..f -uz.-raiuty over
.all other neighboring States. Tsung naui Leimamea
are elated at having made Commodore tehufeldt a
convenient instrument for their purpose aud their
satisfaction might have been last-ug, but for Com-
modore Shufeldt's letter impeaching tne Chinese
empress's private character, tne publication of
which makes tho.-e. author.t.^-i as anxious to r-pu-
iiate all connection with him aud his per-
formances as they were to avail^ them-
selves ot his agencv. It Is now a quest io i if
a. iy of the countries directly or indir. c ly con-
cerned will be content to Hhide b-' t i.-innti-iiuro
S.'iufeidt's action; lirst, because the Chine-e griev-
ance is deep against him; next, it is currently re-
ported in the open porta of Chi .a that a t<- --gram
was sent from Washington to Commodore Snufeldt
ins ructing him to do nothing in Corea untu the ar-
rival of the new American minis: :r m China. iae
inference is that the telegram arr vol to., late.

tional Association met this morning, alternating
with the American Institute of Instruction, which
met yesterday. Hon. Gustavus J. '->i r, the presi -
dent. of Atlanta, gave hisa.-uiu;< < address. He said
that he was a Southerner by oirth and education
and sentiment, and he felt that lie truly repre-
sented the buik of the people as weh as the edu-
cated class when he said let bygones be bygones;
let the dead bury the dead; and .et what has been
■rated be We will busy ourselves with the present,
Vt,rch is livin". These are the sentiments of tho
b-- C men of the South, and certainly the people of
all sections of the country will heartily respond.
The whole of the address was m this spirit, and
was very cordially received.
During to-day's session an appeal was made to
influence to b-ar on Congress to restore the
anuropriation for tha national department of odn-
ca i »c* which has been cut down by the present
Co pa-ess. An auditor suggested that if it could
i^. gotten into the river and harbor bill it would
be Piooral enough.
