Radical Troubles. - A gen-
tleman informs the Banner that
there is much trouble in the
Radical camp. £500 campaign
fund was to have been distri-

trouble; some got too much

card of Mr. N. Kavanaugh, who
continues business at his old
stand. Mr. K. came to this
county in 1841 and has been
engaged in planting and mer-
chandising ever since. He lo-
cated in Brcnham in 1867. He
is so well and favorably known
that is unnecessary to say more.
Jail Fight.—Adam Sanders,
the negro who shot colored po-
liceman Garland, and Jim Gib-
son, a negro who is in jail on a
charge of horse stealing, were
on bad terms before they were
trapped. On Thursday morn-

ed Adam, who had just remark-
ed he wished he had kill Gar-
land, and gave him a very sound
drubbing, nearly putting out one
of his eyes.

The town has been crowded I
with country people in atten-
ancc on the criminal court dur-
ing the entire week. The prin-
cipals and witnesses in all the
bail cases were summoned to
appear 011 the first day of the
term. The jail cases were first
taken up, and have occupied
the attention of the court up to
the present time, Friday; mean-
while the witnesses and princi-
pals have been kept in town at
a heavy expense to themselves.
This certainly is a great hard-
ship, as the crops are needing
all the attention they can get.
We merely state the farts in the
ease without attempting to
blame any one. Just where
the fault lays we are not pre-
pared to say.
Deputy Sheriffs.—The pre-
cise number of deputy sheriffs
in this county is unkonwn to
any one, save the sheriff him-
self. A good many of these
deputies are irresponsible ne-
groes who go armed with a cer-
tificate of appointment and a
revolver. On Thursday a se-
venteen-year-old boy was ar-
rested with both the above
named instruments. It is said
that these voluntary deputies
are in every neighborhood in
the county. Just what authori-
ty of law exists for this whole-
sale manufacture of deputy
sheriffs we are not informed.
Neither is there any apparent
necessity for them. We would
be pleased to hear from the
sheriff 011 this subject.
Mayor's Court.— Tuesday.

nances. Fined $5 and costs.
Motion for a new trial made.

dinances. Arrested by marshal
who took his verbal bond for his
appearance on Tuesday morn-
ing. Mr. Lewis having business
elsewhere left town by the
Monday afternoon's train. As
he is a citizen the marshal pa-
tiently awaints his return. E.
Kamien, for violating health or-
dinances, will have a hearing
this morning.
Wa»bin|(ton Prcainot Mooting.
On Saturday last quite a con-
siderable number of the most
respectable citizens of Wash-
ington precinct met in Hender-
son's school house for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates t<>
the county convention in, Sep-
tember next. W. II. Vinson
j presided, W. X. Norwood was
secretary. The following dele-
gates were elected; Bailey
I George, W. N. Norwood, J110.
j McKinney, D. 1). Bolton, Jno.
Evans and T. C. Fowler. Al-
ternates: A. 1). (ice, Tom
Evans, Jim Lott, Sam Morgan, i
J. W. Rhodes and S. J.Walker.
Delegated uninstructed.
After debate 011 two-thirds
and majority rule, the following
amendment of the two-thirds
rule was adopted as the choice
of the meeting;
If after the first ten ballots no
man has received a two-thirds
vote, all be dropped except the
two highest; if after the twenti-
eth ballot 110 choice is made,
the two-thirds rule shall be
dropped and the majority shall
elect.
Radical Precinct Meeting.
—On Saturday last the Radi-
cals of the Brcnham precinct
held a meeting at the colored
school house in Camptown to
elect delegates to the Black and
Tan county convention. About
five hundred persons mostly
frecdmen were present. Malt
! Parker, colored, was made chair-
man and Sam Love, colored,
j secretary. The meeting was
| one of the most disorderly ever
held in town, It seems the
Radical army is divided into
two factions, one known as the
Hutchinson and llarvin ring
and the other the Klacden and
Fricke ring. The Klacden and
Fricke element being in the
majority clcctcd their delegates.
At the wind up a fight took
place between Capt, Jack Lands
colored and Sam Love. No
serious damage done.
The above is one half of the
story of the meeting. At the
conclusion of the Lands-Love
engagement a general scrim-
mage ensued, the Klaeden-
Frickc men having accomplish-
ed their purpose left. During the
scrimmage a pistol or two was
drawn, benches were broken
and sticks freely flourished.
The Ilutchinson-Harvin men
then had a meeting ot 'their
own in the same place and also
elected a delegation to the con-
vention. The whole proceed-
ings are said to have borne a
striking resemblance to Pande-
monium. The number of fights
that occurred can not be ascer-
tained with any accuracy.
CONGRESSIONAL CONVEN- !

The convention met at the :
at the Opera House at 12 m. on j
Wednesday and effected a tcm- j
porary organization with Hon.

Quashed.— In
court on Tuesday
the District
there came .
on to be heatd a certain case in !
which Mr. Alex. Thomas, the
colored attorney from Burton,
represented the defendant and
County Attorney Schutze tin-
the State. Thomas made a
motion to quash the indictment,
which motion was sustained by
the court. The incident caused
much amusement. The idea of
the county attorney's indict-
ment being quashed on motion
of a colored attorney is regard-
ed as being supremely rich, and
is highly creditable to Mr.
Thomas.
Mayor's Court.— Wednes-
day. Sally Harmon, white,
focepinga disorderly house near
the high bridge, was assessed
$25 and trimmings.
Minnie Foster, white, a board-
er at the Harmon mansion, was
assessed at $10 and trimmings
for being drunk and disorderly.
Neither of the above named
parties having a sufficiency of
the circulating medium to liqui-
date their indebtedness to the
city, are now enjoying the lios
pitaliti'" of the ba tile
Cororki) Policeman Shot.—
On Tuesday night about 9
o'clock, Candy Garland, the
colored policeman at (.amp-
town, arrested Adam Sanders, a I
mulatto and resident of that |
locality, on the charge of being j
drunk and disorderly, and start- j
ed to town with his prisoner;
when about half way up town
Sanders drew a pistal on Gar-
land and told him to go,—that
he was not going with him. (jar-
land then came up town, when
policeman McGowen and
Swaine went back with him.
After they had been there a few
minutes Sanders came to the
gate and surrendered himself to
McGowen. He then sent his
wife into the house for his coat;
as she returned with the coat
Sanders drew a pistol and fired
at McGowen, who dropped, the
ball taking effect in Candy Gar-
land's neck and coming out un-
der the shoulder blade. His
wound is painful but not dan- |
gerous. McGowen endeavored
to get a shot at Sanders but j
could not do so on account of
some negro women in the yard
between him and Sanders. San-
ders jumped the fence and es-
caped to the woods in the neigh-
borhood. About i o'clock in
the morning Sanders canle 111 to
the jail and surrendered him-
self.
Weekly Cotton Statement.
—Mr. W. K. Lewis, furnishes
tin' Manner with the following
statement for the week ending j Shepard 105.
Q. Henderson,
secretary; Mr.
ravis, assistant
Holt, of Wash-
ington, sergeant-,it-arms.
A motion to seat delegates
according to counties carried
and a recces of ten minutes al-
lowed for same.
Mr. Murch having declined
to serve longer, Mr. II. M.
Lewis, of Washington, was
elected in his stead:
A motion was offered to pro-
hibit smoking in the hall—car-
ried.
Resolved: That this con-
vention proceed to elect a
chairman for this congressional
district and one from each
county be placed upon the ex-
ecutive committee. Nomina-
tions: 1!. II. Bassett nominated
and declines; Fred Carleton, of
Travis put in nomination and
elected. An amendment was
offered and adopted that the
chairmen of the several county
executive committees constitute
the executive committee.
Nominations for congress be-
ing in order,
JOHN HANCOck
was placed in nomination by
W. P. Ballinger in a neat speech
lauding him highly and declar
ingit to be of the utmost impor-
tance to Galveston on account of
Hancock's influence with the
Federal Government, lie be-
lieved Hancock to be Galves-
ton's only hope. He paid a
high compliment to Hon. 1). C.
Giddings. He did not present
Hancock as a man always with
us; not as a man who always
acted as we desired, yet, Gal-
veston 111 her deliberate judge-
ment presents him as the most
available and best man to sub-
serve her interests.
Dardcn, of Colorado, second
ed the nomination; Dunn, of
Fayette, also favored it. Moore,
of Travis, also favored the nom-
ination, at the same time paying
a high compliment to Hon.
Scth Shepard and eulogizing
his ability, which the speaker
thought was not equaled by any
man of his age in the State.
Mr. Crane, of I avaca, put in
nomination Washington coun-
ty's favorite sou,
Si; Til SHKPAIiD,
the peer of Hancock or any
other man; lie did not believe
Hancock was the only man who
could beat Jones. Hancock was
a man he esteemed ami revered
and in nominating Shepard he
did not wish to detract one iota
from Hancock, lie success
fufly refuted the stati ment that
Shepard was too young to fill
the position of congressman.
Taken altogether his speech
was a very happy effort and
was vonciferously applauded.
Maj. Bassett seconded the
nomination in his usual happy-
style and gave a short review of
Mr. Sheparils history.
Gordon, of Burleson, a young
man w ho had been a class-mate
of Shepard, at Lee University,
also scconcd the nomination
paying a high tribute to the
worth and ability of Mr, Shep-
ard. He believed if there was
a man in the district who could
roll up a substantial I )emocratic
victory that man was Setli Shep-
ard.
Two tellers were then op-
pointed, Robt. Steward, of
Travis, for Hancock and Mr,
Rector, of Lee, for Shepard.
The
FIRST BALLOT.
was then taken: Hancock 1^7
i 2; Shepard 117 1-2; necessary
toachoicc 170 2d ballot, same as
first 3d ballot Hancock 1391-2;
i Shepard 1151-2.
.(th ballot, same as third,
| 5U1 ballot, Hancock 151,
evening session.
The evening session was call-
ed to order at 9 r. m. Hon.
Scth Sheptifd, in ii few appro- I
priate remarks, withdrew his |
name from the convention, !
Crane offered a resolution en- !
dorsing the magnanimity and
patriotism of Shepard in with-
drawing from the race. The
ninth ballot was then taken, and
notwithstanding earnest appeals
to make Hancock's nomination
unanimous, resulted; 172 1-2 for
Hancock, .blank 73, 1-2. The
chairman then announced that
Hancock was the nominee of
the convention, The announce-
ment was not received with any
enthusiasm.
Hancock, upon being intro-
duced made a very egotistical
speech, declaring he would poll
the largest Democratic vote-
ever polled in Washington coun-
ELECTION PRECINCTS. I
The following voting places 1
have been established by the j
county commissioners:
It is hereby ordered that jus-
tices' precincts precincts No. I, j
2, 3, 4 and 5 are declared elec- j
lion precincts of Washington j
ton county, Texas.
Justice's precinct No. 1,
know as the Washington pre-
precinct, shall be election pre-
cinct No. 1.
Justice's precinct No. 2,
known as the Chappell
precinct, shall be election prc-
; cinct No. 2.
Justice's precinct No. 3,
1 known as the Brcnham prerinct,
j shall be election precinct No 3.
i Justice's precinct No. 4,
| known as the Burton precinct,
! shall be election precinct No. 4.
Justice's precinct No. 5,
tv. The general expression of | known.as thc Independence pre-
option, so far as our reporters ' "net, shall be election precinct
have been able to hear, was one '
of dissatisfaction at the result.
In 1864 fhe greenback dollar
was worth only thirty-eight
cent* in Specie, and the Wall
street brokers made" fabulous
I fortunes by buying- and selling
' this currency, while the labor-
ing man and the producer was
1 the sufferer. The Grcenback-
; ers want to give those Wall
street fellows another chance
1 by flooding the country with
a worthless paper money.—iT.r,
In 1864 and now the green-
back dollar was and is a prem -
ise of thc government to pay a
2 j dollar in gold or silver, the re-
Hill ] cognized standard of value the
world over. Should the Green-
backers ever succeed in their
scheme of issuing absolute
money it will depreciate much
lower than in 1864. Thc stamp
of all the governments in thc
world cannot give paper any
tntrinsie value. Governments
and paper arc distructable; gold
and silver are indistructable.

Among the new enterprises
coming into our midst we note
with pleasure that of thc cele-
brated Calendar Clock Compa-
ny, of St. Louis, who have mad-
this city the headquarters of
one of its divisii ns. \\ e have
met w ith several of their gentle-
manly agents and learn that
they are meeting with good suc-
cess. Mr. Bover, of Virginia,
is canvassing this county, and
from the names called to us, we
note that a number of our best
citizens are availing themselves
of this opportunity of getting
good time Mr. Massengill, of
Tenn., in Austin county ; Mr,
l.ee, of Tenn., Waller; Mr llall,
of Tenn., in Fayette, and Mr.
Walton., of Tenn., m Colorado
are all having the best success;
well may it be so when they
have so meritorious an article to
put before thc people as their
"Great Fashion" clock. This
company has been doing busi-
ness in the different Southern
States, and from the way they
are represented by the press 1
and the.people, u'c fee! it our,
duty to call'the.attention of our j
readers and advise them not to 1
fail to give these clocks a thor- !
ough examination when oppor-
tunity offers. They sell their
Fashion clock from wagons on-
ly, and at one price, calling 011
all and giv ing them a chance to
secure one. A Fashion time-
piece ornaments our sanctum,
and a more elegant and perfect-
finished piece of furniture one
could not desire. Besides hav-
ing a time piece that will last
half a century, you secure the
best calendar put to a clock.
Having been shown the many
advantages this clock has over
others, we have no hesitancy in
endorsing all that has been said
in its favor.
Died.—In this city, on Wed-
nesday morning, of congestion,
Emma, oldest daughter of Mr.

Miss Emma was an interest-
ing child of twelve or thirteen
years ol age. The bereaved
parents have the condolence
and sympathy of the Banner in
their affliction.

A writer in- the Galveston'
A iws says he has visited twen-
ty-five counties since the ad-
journment of the Austin con-
vention, and finds absolutely no
interest manifested in the politi-
cal out-look. People generally
are disappointed, and had rath-
er no nomination had been
made for governor.
