Will tome one please rise and ex-
plain if the Greenbackers have a presi-
dential ticket in the field. We don't
hear it mentioned and it is believed
that the report that Weaver of Iowa
and Chamberlain of Texas (we be
lieve these are the names) were nomi-
nated some time ago is incorrect.
We don't see their names mentioned in
any of the papers. Perhaps free loye
and socialism has coveren them up so
deep that the average newspaper cannot
find them.
We call attention to tho advertisement
of tho Texas Christian College in an-
other column. This is a new institution
under the auspices of a board of trus-
tees consisting of several of our oldest
and most respectable citizens. The most
satisfactory arrangements have been
made to give tho institution pernancy
and character that will place jt among
the first in the state. The course of study
will be thorough and young ladies will
have an opportunity of receiving a fin-
ished education at home. Ample provis-
ions bos been made for the accommoda-
tion of pupils from abroad. For partic-
ulars see advertisement.

Yesterday over a half dozen small
' boys were arrested and carried to the
oiice station. They were arrested on
a charge of invading a certain water-
melon patch. All of them were neatly
dressed bright intelligent little fellows
not one of whom was over twelve years
of age. Did they quail and tremble be-
fore tbe majesty ot the law t Did they
weep and beg the officers to release
themf Not a bit. They treated the
. daw with profound contempt and
looked upon the officers with a cool-
uess and indifference that was refresh-
ing to behold. "Been raiding Into a
watermelon patch have you tn said one
ot the officers as the cheerful little boys
of their own accord arranged them-
. aelves in a row. "Yes sir" spoke op
a bright boy as he looked with disgust
upon the officer for not knowing that
raiding into melon patches was a right
that had been banded down to tbe
small boy through long ages. "Don't
you know its wrong to strait" said the
officer "and that you will be locked
cpf" "No we aint afraid of being
locked up we didn't steal any melons
they wero all green." And the small boy
refreshingly beamed upon the officer
who felt like kicking himself. "Well
I reckon I'll have to lock you up."
This announcement had no effect what-
ever and the boys smiled and looked
with an unruffled temper upon the offi-
cer who felt liko weeping at the cool-
ness and self-complacency of the boys.
Tears were in his eyes when one of
the boys with a brosd grin spoke up
and addressed the officer and reporter:
"How mauy watermelon patcbea did
you all go into when you were boys!"
"Boys joa cin go" feebly articulated
tbe officer aa he put his bead in the

Why not patronize home industries
in preference to those abroad. When
we have work done here the price
which it commands is again turned
into the circulating medium of the
country. When we go abroad to have
our work done what we pay out is lost
to us forever. We should encourage
enterprising men who are attempting
to build up the manufacturing interests
of our state. Underbill & Co. manu
facturers of statuary monumental and
an nne ornamental stone work are
still receiving large quantities of mar
ble of a superior quality. If yon need
any statuary or monumental work
consult Underbill & Co. or some of
its representatives it is the purpose
of this company to establish a perma-
nent business not only in this city but
throughout tne state. This is one ot
the most substantial firms ever inaug
urated in the state and whatever rep
resentations they make can be relied
on. Whatever . they say they'll do
they'll do it. .
The body of an unknown white
man was found in the Colorado near
Hornsbj's bend nine miles below the
city a day or two ago. It was entirely
nude and had evidently been in the
water several days. Around the waist
was buckled a leather strap attached
to which was a pair of shoes. The
body had evidently washed down the
river some distance and was checked
by a snag inserting itself under the
belt alluded to. It is supposed that
tne uuiortunate man attempted to lord
the river pulling his clothes off and
buckling hia shoes to his waist to more
easily wade across. It is likely he lost
nis tooting and the strong current
tnat always prevails in the Colorado.
carried him down and he was drowned.
Evert farmei knows that exposing
potatoes too long to tne rays ot tbe
sun or exposing them to plenty of
light and air will soon ruin them.
A good farmer will dig and dry his
potatoes at the proper time as quick
as convenient and take them to
his dark cellar without delay being
caretul not to have too many in one
bin. Potatoes which are fine and
mealy when dug treated in this man
ner will remain good until early pota
toes are ripe.

CPIXiOHS OF THE PRESS.
Tbe New York JfaU touches up the
insanity dodge in this style: "The ac
quittal of Carrie the Texan who mur
dered Porter tbe actor was such an out-
ragejthat it ought to create a popular de
mand for a new law concerning mur-
derers who dodge the hangman's rope
by pleading insanity. Currie was not
insane in any sense that clears him of
guilt; and hundreds of other murder
era who have escaped the gallows in
tbe same way have deserved hanging
If men who commit murder after the
manner of Currie are insane they are
certainly too dangerous to remain at
lare. They should be imprisoned.
Let us have a law which provides life
imprisonment for murderers who cheat
the gallows by the insanity dodge."
The FoU in discussing the posi
tion of certain -persons concerning tbe
record of Go vers or Roberts about free
schools says: "As long asGoyeinor
Roberts was supposed to oppose public
schools these so-called liberal Demo-
crats assailed him as being behind the
time and called him a fossil and i
moss back. When the Governor con
fesses himself plainly to be a friend of
public instruction and urges progressive
meaiuress these gentlemen are bdock
ed at his turning his coat they call
him a trickster and a renegade. Now
this seems to be following the wayward
and petulant example of the children
represented by scripture as "sitting in
the market place and saying to their
fellows we bave wept unto you snd
ye have not lamented ; we have piped
unto you and ye have not ) danced.' "
These critics are not tor tbe principle;
they are simply against the man. Noth
ing can please them coming from him ;
neither weeping can induce sympathy
nor laughter betray them into a smile."
Here is the way the Globe-Democrat
correspondent at Marshall puts the
case. Regarding the source it should
be taken however with some grains of
allowance. He says: "The excitement
and general indignation over the al
leged cause of Ourrie's acquittal are
rspidly developing. It is claimed by
some of the state's counsel that money
was probably used with the jury. Hon.
Wm. S teaman of counsel for prosecu
tion informed your correspondent to
day that one of our principal merchants
would testify that three of the jurors
on Saturday night shortly after the
verdict wss rendered came into his
store and purchased goods liberally
without as much as asking tbe price.
and on making payment exhibited large
rolls of $5 and $10 bills. Msj. John
M. Case says one of the jurors took
shave after the verdict was rendered
on Saturday night and tendered tbe
barber for change a f 10 bill as the least
contained in a large roll of greenbacks
he took from a side pocket. He fur-
ther says that a notion merchant here
says and oners to swear that about an
hour after Currie's acquittal one of
the jurors purchasing some candy and
other notions offered in payment i
$10 greenback at the same time exhib
itlng a large roll of bills of tbe same
denomination and said he hadn't
been here on the jury nearly two
weeka for nothing; that he made all
these $10 bill daring that time. From
such reports as the foregoing and other
circumstances suspicions of bribery
are expressed against the jury."
The New York Herald declares
that the action of the Cincinnati con
vention has burned sectional issues
The nomination of Gen. Hancock it
says enables the country to choose
without prejudice without sectional
alarm and to choose for itself between
two lines of policy clearly marked out
very decidedly differing one from the
other and on which men may reason
ably and sensibly disagree. The Re
publican party stands for. centraliza-
tion for a larger concentration of pow
er in the hands of the federal govern
meat tor what is called the "daternal
system ;" and a considerable part of the
country agrees with them in this view
which is fairly presented by their can
didate. The Democrats stand for
decentralization for local self-
eovernment. for a strict limitation of
tbe federal power acqording to the
constitution; and a considerable part
of the country agrees with them. Gen.
Hancock's civil record makes him one
of the most distinguished representa
tives of this Democratic policy. His
constant deference to civil law and to
civil officers during his military com
mand in Louisiana and Texas after the
war shows that he is much more than
a mere soldier; that he has clear and
well defined views on the most lm
portent points of national policy views
which are honorable to him and which
give him a- deserved and high rank
among statesmen.
The Springfield (lad.) Republican
touching the nomination says: "Han
cock in fitness for tbe presidential of
fioe does not rank before the country
with Bayard Randall Seymour and
Tburman men of proved ability and
political independence experience in
public office and known and sound 6on
servative opinions ; but in availability
as a candidate where the illumination
of a long pablic career is often a weak
ness General Winneld ocott Hancock-
is stronger than these men of presiden
tial suture. That Gen. Hancock's
Democratic instincts so early- domi
neered his army training will go far
toward removing proper prejudice
agaiasta military president. His weak
nesa when tried by the test of fitness
and comparison with his competitor
is that he is without achievement
in publie service and - repre-
sents no positive grasp upon the future
He is a novice in statesmanship against
an expert who for sixteen years has
been - applying a broad weir-trained
salad in debate in committee and in
private study to the great constructive
problems of government. Gen. Han-
cock is a handsome courteous gentle
man universallv popular ol unstained
personal record. Tbe moral effect of
the nomination is excellent in many
ways. It takes the bloedy shirt out
of politics. When rebel bneadiers.
the White League and Kn-Klux fall in
behind this TJnion soldier it is refresh-
ing proof that the parties have stimu
lated each other up to good work. It
insures a well-fought campaign and
relieves any but blind partisans of
anxiety as to tbe possible result of a
Democratic victory."

Gonzales Enquirer: A short time
since we told it to the world with
pride that our county was out of
debt her scrip at par her employees
punctually and folly paid and there
was a handsome balance in tbe treas
ury. In addition to this we chronicled
the fact that tbe taxes had been re
duced from forty cents to twenty-five
cents on tbe one hundred dollars and
were lavish in praise of the commis
sioners' court for the wise and efficient
administration of county finances
Postal cards are now in almost everv
body's hands showing that their valu
ation or property has been raised and
it is jocularly suggested that the court
has reduced taxes and raised the valu-
ation of property so that there will be
no falling off of the revenue.

licit money to prepare for the reception
of the Democratic delegates at Dallas

forts. Tbey publish a card in which

Opera House in Dallas which is a lit-
tle coop will be used for the conven-
tion. In Houston everv facility is of.
fered and its people would make the

Te tne Denser racy er Trayl County.
By authority of a resolution passed
by tbe Democratic executive committee
of this county at a meeting held on
the 5th instant I hereby call a county
. .v- t . . .
iuuicuuuu ui iue uomocrtuo party to
meet at the court house in Austin on
Saturday July 24 at 10 a. m. to
nominate candidates for the various
county offices a representative to the
legislature to select delegates to the
sixty-sixth representative district con-
gressional and state conventions and
to transact such other business as may
properly come before the convention.
It was farther resolved that the chair-
men of the respective precincts call
their precinct meetings at such time as
they msy deem proper; that the pre-
cinct meetings should be participated
in and conducted by Democrats only
and that the following number of
delegates will be entitled to seats in
the convention yiz: Precinct No. 1
3; No. 2 8; No. 8 23; No. 4 8; No.
5 4; No. 6. 5; No. 7. 1: No. 8. 1
the above having been agreed upon
on the basis of one delegate for every
fifty Democratic votes in the precinct
and one for every fraction of fifty over
twenty-five.
Each precinct is requested to select
iU number of delegates as above fixed
by the executive committee and to
also select a like number of alternates
to be numbered one two etc. in tbe
order of selection so that in case of
the absence of regular delegates the al-
ternates may be substituted as num-
bered. The basis of vote for each pre-
cinct represented in the convention
will be declared upon by the conven-
tion. It is earnestly urged that all
Democrats attend their primaries and
be governed by the suggestions
contained in the address pre-
ceding this call. Let us exercise
forbearance zeal and prudence and
avoid controversy among ourselves and
"even the appearance of evil" towards
Democrats entertaining views immate-
rially different from our own standing
only upon principle and having la
view tbe common weal of the people
and country. No undue interest in the
advancement of any man should warp
our judgment control our conduct or
excite to personalities and we should
look with a wide-open and jealous eve
to the success of our party which
means the success of correct princi-
ples of government. On a fair vote in
this county the Democratic party
polling its full strength has a msjority
of at least 600. Let every Democrat
resnlvft. fnr (hia nna fimn that ka will
stand by and vindicate bis party and
we will cease to be reproached through
out the state with having a doubtful
msjority at tbe capital county and city
of a strongly Democratio state.
Rally first to the primaries and then
to tbe polls. Your servant

By virtue of the trust reposed in sit
by the last congressional convention
far this district it becomes my duty to
call the next convention snd I now do
call a delegate convention to meet at
Georgetown Williamson county Texaa
on Wednesday July 28 1830 at 12 at.
for the purpose of nominsting a c aodi
date for repiesentative in Congress
from this district as well as to trans-
act such other business as to luc h con-
vention msy seem proper.
It is hoped that every county in the
district will send a full delegation in
order that the nominee when selected
may be such an one aa all the Democ
racy of tbe district can folly and
heartily support in which event vic-
tory will be certain and tbe district be
redeemed from the united hosts of Re-
publicans and Greenbackers who
from a variety of causes succeeded m
defeating our candidate at tbe last
election. Fred. Cablkton
