KDITORIAL ItMADL SHOT.
The “Richmond Nation” is independent
and for potective tariff.
The president ia reported as taking the de-
feat of his veto of the river and harbor bill
philosophically.
A livery stable keeper named Seth Gris-
wold was made the victim of a “snipe hunt”
by Capt. W. E. Smith of the U. S. postoffice
department. It is claimed that Griswold is a
green Yankee.
The sole object and aim of Davis is to
break up the democratic party.—[Brenham
Banner.
The Banner had evidently not heard from
our 3d precinct primary.
Judge George Paschal compared Gov.
Davis with Horace Greeley. If the demo
cracy of the loth district will give Gov. Davis
the same endorsement that the national demo-
cratic convention did Greeley we will bet the
beer on his election George.
The republican congressional convention to
meet in thia city on the 15th if it decides not
to place a nomination in'the field but favors
the independent movement should formulate a
strong republican platform especially on the
issues of state in our district as the platform
for republicans to be guided by in casting
their votes.
Ex-Gov. E J. Davis announces himself as
independent candidate for congress from the
Austin district. His democratic opponent
will probably be Judge Hancock. There
need be no fear of the result if the democratic
voters will do their duty.—[Orange Tribune.
Perhaps you think that Columbus Upson
has been forgotten or that the democracy of
the loth district are opposed to all kinds of
third terms. But if Hancock is a candidate
he will find out that presiding over the demo-
cratic mob at Galveston is not a certificate for
election in the 10th district by a long shot.
Ed Braden remarked after returning fre m
the Galveston convention and after beir g
bantered about the vote for the prohibitionist
Lieutenant Govemer that “we had to swal-
low it.” This is the way the German demo-
crats (?) wash down the democratic ticket
with their lager.
When Mr. Davis plays the independent
role it ’• time for good men to beware. He is
republican-radical to the backbone and yet
he comes before the people asking them to
vote for him not as a politician but as or •
independent of politics. Independentism
would not live a day in Texas were it not for
the radicalism of Mr. Davis. — [Austin
Statesman.
It is evident the Statesman has not con-
sulted with the 3rd precinct republicans of our
city.
Rev. A. Grant of Austin but formerly of
this city is the best friend and leader the col-
ored people have ever had in this state. He
preaches the present and future and not the
dead past He wants to destroy the color line
in politics and have his people work for their
own interests instead of those of some political
quack of the republican party who has noth-
ing to recommend him except his prejudices
against the democracy. He wants the colored
people to begin to realize that they have an
interest in the government as such and that
they should not sacrifice their interests to
gratify a prejudice. —[S. A. Express.
Then there is one Grant the editor Express
admires. We like parson Grant too; he some-
times gets a little excited but in the main he
has very little use for such little fellows as the
editor ol the Express no matter how much he
may puff him. Grant can spot an enemy to
his race with too much certainty for the
Express man to escape.
The Texas Wool Journal takes a strictly
business view of the |M>liticai contest in our
stale as it relates to the question of protection
and in a very sensible plain article reciting
facts and figures conclude!:
“This is no sickly sentimentality. There
should be no clinging to party because your
father and your grandfather was a member of
it If this party proposes Io rob you to enrich
some other class of men it is your duty to re-
sist iL It may have been your friend at one
time but now it is your enemy It is the ene-
my of the stale because it proposes to rob the
state. The democracy of Texas cm favor
protective tariff with as much consistency as
tiie republican part of the northwest free
but it is not as true to its section. It is slow
sluggish cannot grasp the situation of the
h "ur and must be taught a less-m by defeat.
If it is not defeated it will coat the state $4-
00 > 000 in the price of wool alone and in the
d-cre«»e of values probably $l5 000 coo to
$2 >ooo.imo more. Can Texas afford this Jit-
Ik luxury?”
NAOX’CHEt is the name of a changing valley
in Georgia which possesses many claims on
the attention of the public it is in the gold
district and nuggets weighing 500 penny-
weights have been taken from its soil. I hese
hupp* of the precious metal are not very thick
probably but they make gold-hunting a busi-
ness. [—S. A. Express.
When the crash of 1839 started an emigra-
tion of broken merchants from northern cities
one who had gathered the pieces of his fortune
found himself in possession of quite a good
many thousand dollars and determined to ex-
plore the gold diggings then in repute. He
was a man somewhat over middle age ex-
emplary in all ways with a womanly stirring
wife and half a dozen interesting and accom-
plished children of both sexes ranging from
18 years down to as many months. He left
these treasures home and took with him the
treasure that men’s wicked ways make so pre-
cious and indispensable and struck for Geor-
gia. He hit the Nacouchee valley. Near the
base of the beautiful Yonah mountain lay a
small farm which was for sale. The owner
declared it was full of the richest gold ores
and veins of gold but he was compelled to
leave the south and had concluded to sell. It
was plain that a kind Providence had led our
friend to that spot. They procured a couple of
men with spades for a fixed day to dig for
gold and when the day came—dug.
They opened the ground at spots ami invaria-
bly dug up the richest ore. “Here” said the
New York man ‘‘let us dig here.” “O no”
answered the owner “there is no use digging
there and I’ll tell you why.” And then hr
told him why adding “don’t you see?”
“Now there” said the latter at another spot
“the ground is right for gold Go to woik
here boys.” And the gold came. Then the
New Yorker found a place he was sure had
gold and insisted on digging. ou may”
said Georgia ‘‘but I assure you it i« no use.”
And it was no use and the New York man
said it was so and that it was perfectly aston
isliing. But he was told he would soon leam
where the gold was. Ihe day s work was
ended to the satisfaction and delight of both
parties. Th re were two happy men in
Georgia that evening. A fabulous sum. that
is to say in the Bohemian sense was next
morning paid for the farm. The New Yorker
hurried to bring his happy ones. The son of
Georgia hurried to that part of the world
where his presence was indespensible. In six
weeks the happy family arrived. In the seventh
week they began to think of giving their at-
tention to agriculture and horticulture and a
country school. All the gold their diggings
contained had been dug up just where placed
some of which the pater had taken north cre-
ating a Georgia gold excitement. There was
a rich vein mine in the vicinity which had
substantially at that time furnished all tl e
Nacouchee Yalley gold repute. The New
Yorker never saw his Georgia friend aga n*
Maybe he has got back.
About two million acres less 'han preced-
ing years have been planted in Illinois with
corn and the prospect for a crop for this year
are in many parts of the state wery unprom-
ising. In the year 1879 the corn crop amount-
ed to three hundred and nine million bushels;
in the year 1880 to three hundred and sixty -
two million bushels and in the year 1881 only
to one hundred and seventy-six million bus) -
els. This year’s crop is estimated at one hun-
dred and twenty-five million bushels.
Mr. Davis might properly represent tl e
people of Massachusetts but of Texas never.
[--Victoria Advocate.
The man who is fit to represent a people
that produced a Webster and whose standard
of intelligence and patriotism is N > 1 would
do honor to the people ol Texas. The oLjer-
tion of the Advocate is the highest compli-
m nt it is possible to pay Gov. Davis.
The circular of Claiborne the chairman of
the democratic state executive committee
1 vying an assessment upon the democratic
officials in our slate should lie considered an
offset to Hubbel’s call on the federal office-
holders.
A SPECIAL correspondent of the Galveston
News gives what purports to be the opinion of
a prominent Texas republican upon the Galves-
ton democratic convention. The truth is such
prominent republicans only become promi-
nent as they are advertised through the News.
GALVESTON.
The Henriettu off After Oue Death Aboard.
Galveston. August 7. —The schooner Hen-
riette was taken in tow this aftern >on by the
