Tremont OpeFarBlouse,
Miles's Juveniles hail an ovation yester
daj'. The matins* in the afternoon, on which
occasion the Little Duke was presented with
line effect, was witnessed by almost everything
in town that had the means and could walk.
At the regular performance at night t he stand-
ard Pinafore was produced. The audience was
again large, and to say that complete attention
was secured from beginning to end of the per
formance is doing no more than simple
justice to the excellence of this ju-
venile combination. In Pinafore the party
is immense. By comparison with the same
entertainment given last season, the strength
of the organization, as it now exists, is fa v.
ably shown. It seems almost in bail taste to
criticise, by Individual mention, respective
performers "among these little folks, where all
are so efficient in their parts. "Set fairness
requires that special mention should be made
in the case of Miss Daisy Murdoch, whose
Hebe was up to the full standard of pro-
fessional requirements. Miss Daisy is a charm-
ing and graceful little artiste. Miss Fannie
Cohen as Buttercup was unexceptionable:
while the Josephine of little Jennie Dunn was
full of merit and admirable acting. Miss Ida
DeCoi*t made a line Ralph Rackstraw. The
Dick Deadeye, by the original of last season, if
improvement were possible, showed it last
night. The organization as Pinafore is com-
plete in all its parts, including the sisters, cou-
sins and aunts. The Juveniles appear to-night
in the charming little opera of the Chimes of
Noruiandv.
Is What Ended the Earthly Career of
J. J• Gossler.
About a year since J. J. G-ossler, of La
Grange, where he had been engaged in the pub-
lication of newspapers, came to this city, and
was employed by the publishing firm of Shaw
& B lay lock as a compositor. He roomed with
Mi*. Blaylock until a few months since, when,
having the consumption, and declaring that he
would die before he would return to La Grange,
he went to St. Mary's infirmary. Becoming
dissatisfied with that institution lie left a short
time since, and rented a room at Mi's. Levan's,
on Eighteenth street, between Postoffice and
Church, where he committed suicide by poison
Tuesday night. Mr. Gossler was well known
throughout the state, and a short time prior to
the war published a newspaper in Galveston.
Justice Johnson impaneled a jury and proceed-
ed to hold an inquest, hearing the following
evidence.
Mrs. G. Blaylock sworn: I recognize the
body of the deceased. His name was J. J.
Gossler, and I had known him about one year.
He had been sick about six months. Dr. Rogers
called to see him to-day for the first time. He
had been in the hospital two or three months.
Dr. Rogers called about noon. The deceased
screamed for help about half-past 7 or 8 o'clock
this evening. I came to see him and asked
him if he "had taken anything, and he said yes.
I asked him if it was morphine, when he tried
to speak but could not utter a word. I found
an empty bottle which contained or was mark-
ed strychnine. When I asked if it was mor-
phine he nodded his head, but whether he
meant yes or no I do not know. He was groan-
ing and seemed to bo in great pain. I found a
note addressed to his wife in the table drawer,
directed to Dr. Bunting. He died in the house
of Mi's. Levan. I was called from my house by
Mi's. Lev an.
Axnie Jones sworn: I recognize the body as
that of J. J. Gossler; have known him about
four months. He called for help, and Mrs.
Blaylock and myself came in. He said, " pull
me over on the chair." He seemed to be cramp-
ed and in much pain. I did not find any bottle
or anything. I did not ask him any questions:
heard Mrs. Blaylock ask him if he had taken
anything, but do not know whether he answer-
ed "or not.
Rkv. R. F. Bunting sworn: I have known
deceased about 25 years. I should judge him
to be about 50 years of age. He had been in
bad health for some time. Ho roomed at Mr
Blaylock's some four months ago and was m the
employ of Mr. Blaylock. I called on him about
half ]>ast five this afternoon, and he then from
appearances was all right and said he would
get a good night's sleep. I got Dr. Rogers to
see him to-day, who advised him to get away
from the city "in order to gain strength, and he
was opposed to leaving the city. I did not
notice any bottle about while in his room. He
went out yesterday. His habits have been
temperate recently,"but he had been a drinking
man of late years, as I have been informed. He
left a note to me as follows:
Galveston, Tuesday, October 12.—Thank
God this is my last wretched night on earth.
Send trunk and key to Lessie.
J. J. Gossler.
On the back of the envelop was written:
1 Don't pack up medicine."
Dr. Sam. a. Towsey, countv physician:
Having examined the body of J. J. Gossler,
and hearing the testimony, and finding by the
examination of a drug in the bottom of a tum-
bler, with some residue of some five grains of
strychnine, and from the rigidity of the limbs
of the deceased, am of the opinion that death
was caused from strychnine administered by
his own hand.
verdict.
We the iury, duly impaneled and sworn, af-
ter careful examination of tho body of John J.
Gossler, find that the deceased came to his
death in the city and county of Galveston from

to be strychnine: J." Lee Burton, Wm. Mc-
Clusky. L. Blaylock, J. W. Hooper, P. H. Mo-
ser, B" L. Morse.
fleeting ef the Couferenec Committee.
The committee of three aldermen and three
citizens appointed by the mayor in compliance
with a motion passed by tho board of alder-
men at a recent meeting, in conformity with
the suggestions of city treasurer Sealy," to dis-
cuss the doubtful indebtedness of the city, met
at the city hall at 7 o'clock last evening.
Present—Mayor Leonard, chairman, and alder-
men Pearre and Mitchell, and Messrs. C. G.
Wells, J. E. Wallis and J. H. Hurt. Absent—
Alderman Davis.
The mayor stated that the meeting was sim-
ply a preliminary one, and that the city clerk,
Mr. W ren, was prepared to furnish the commit-
tee with any information concerning the out-
standing indebtedness of the city they mi^ht
desire. He also stated that at the next session
of the legislature an effort would be made to
have an act passed permitting the city to con-
solidate the debt at a reduced rate of interest.
It was not desired or intended that any one
should be cheated, but to deal as fairly with
the creditors of the city as was consistent with
the interests of the people.
On motion of Mr. Hart, the communication
of Mr. Sealy to the board of aldermen was
read, and the action of the council in reference
thereto as well as the motion made at that time
by alderman Mitchell for the appointment of
the committee.
The secretary then read the following list of
what is termed the " doubtful" indebtedness of
the city:
Agricultural H. and I. Asso-
siation bonds $10,000 0C
Accrued interest 6,000 00
$ 16,000 00
Hitchcock bayou bouds $45,400 00
Accrued interest 26,284 27
Sidewalk improvement bonds.$ll 1.400 00
Accrued interest 45,340 00
$ 71,684 27
$156,740 00
Total principal and interest §244,424 27
In response to an inquiry made on the part of
members of the committee the secretary stated
that some suits he believed ha d been brought on
coupons of the indebtedness noted alone, but
tliat he was unacquainted with the exact status
of the matter.
After some discussion it was deemed best not
to do anything regarding the indebtedness
noted above for the present.
The judgment of D. G. Hitchcock & Co. vs.
the city for some $117,549 and accrued interest
was then brought up and the matter discussed
at some length, and it appeared to be tho desire
of the committee to have the matter settled in
an equitable manner if possible.
Mr. Hurt thought it would not be a bad idea
to have the chairman address a communica-
tion to Mr. Hitchcock for the purpose of ascer-
taining if he was willing to adjust the matter
upon an equitable basis.
Alderman Mitchell moved that inasmuch as
the committee might like to hear from Mr.
Hitchcock, that he be invited to be in attend-
ance at the next meeting of the committee,
and also that the city attorney be present.
Carried.
On motion the committee adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman.

Who la Mrs. Winslew ?
A3 this question is frequently asked, we will
simply say that she is a lady who for upward of
thiiiy yean; has untiringly devoted her time and
talents as a female physician and nurse, principally
among children. Sue" has especially studied the
constitution and want3 of this numerous class, and,
as a result of this eiTort, and practical knowledge
obtained in a lifetime spent as nurse and physician,
she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children
teething. It operates like magic, giving rest and
health. and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins-
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of
her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless
her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and
used here. We think Mrs. Wlnslow has "immortal-
ized her name by this invaluable article, and we
sincerely behave thousands of children linve Deen
saved f ;-om on early grave by its timely use, and
that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and
unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis-
charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs.
"V? insiow's Soothing Syrup. Try it, mothers; try it

Office of the Board of Health, Galves-
ton, Texas, October 11. 1880.—R. Rutherford.
M. D., State Health Officer, Houston, Texas—
Dear Sir: There is an uneasy feeling among
some of our citizens about the disease said to
be prevailing in Houston. To allay this feeling,
will yon please let me know by return mail
whether you have had any cases of sickness in
Houston that you suspected were yellow fever,
or were thought to be so by the attending phy-
sician. Truly and respectfully yours,
E. H. Watts, M. D., Pres't Board of Health.
There is a report here that there is a case of
sickness at the New Orleans depot, or wharf,
attended by Dr. Nutt, of Houston, that is sup-
posed to be yellow fever. Will you please in-
vestigate this and let us know. Yours,
e. h. w.
Houston, October 12.—E. H. Watts. M. D.,
President Galveston Board of Health—Dear
Doctor: Yours of yesterday to hand. Inclosed
I send you a certificate signed by most of the
physicians of the place, including Dr. Nutt, to
whom reference is made in your letter, which
I presume will be sufficient "to dispel any un-
easiness in your midst as regards fever in our
city. I can assure you so far as I am myself
personally cognizant of the sickness which we
have had here, that we are entirely free of
anything akin to yellow fever. I aui. respect-
fully, etc., R. Rutherford.
Houston, October 12, 1880.—I have not dur-
ing the past summer or fall of 1880 treated any
case of sickness of an infectious nature, nor
any even suspected of being- infectious.

Projected Railways for Mexico.
[From the Baltimore Sun.]
The republic of Mexico has been prevented
for some years from obtaining the railroads it
so much needs by the bitterness of the com-
j>etiton between rival claimants. The conces-
sions were always ready, but it could never be
decided which of the rival parties was to have
the award. There was an English party and
two or three American parties, and their
jealousies have aroused a great hubbub in the
lialls of the Montezumas. The Mexican con-
gress, despairing of ability to reach a con-
clusion decisive of the advei-se claims, by an
act passed last June delegated its authority to
president Diaz. He has now made his award,
and characteristically seems to have dis-
tributed to each of the claimants, excepting,
perhaps, the Mexican central party, precisely
the concession which it did not want. The
main contest was for the line from El Paso to
the City of Mexico, from the Texas frontier;
in other words, down through the heart of
the peninsula. The Southern Pacific company
wanted this badly, and so did the Sullivan
& Palmer party,"but it has been awarded to
Mr. Simon, representative of the Mexican
Central interest. The Sullivan & Palmer
interest gets the line- to the Pacific at Aca-
pulco. with an extension to Manzanilla, and
the Southern pacific .gets the line from La-
redo, or Eagle Pass, to Mexico, which is a
very good route. The Mexican Central is
another name for the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, connecting with the Toledo
and Wabash system, and this new concession
is to be pushed forward with energy. The
original railroad has now reached fort Thorn
which is only lOOmiies from El Paso. While
this work is. doing in the northern section, a
large part of the southern section, 20*2 miles,
from the City of Mexico to Leon, has alreadv
been given out. Albert Fink's brother Rudolph
is general manager of this branch, and has 5000
men at work, the monthly pay-roll being $200,-
000. Some 25 per cent, on the stock subscribed
f r this road has already been called in, and
the Mexican subsidy of $9.~00 per kilometer
(equal to $15,200 per mile) will soon be avail-
able. It is expected to have part of this road
opened for traffic before the expiration of pres-
ident Diaz's term of office. The subsidy spoken
of is payable in the shape of a tax of six per
cent, upon the gross receipts of the Mexican
custom-houses. Ex-president Grant, in his re-
cently published letters to senor Romero, sug-
gested iii lieu of this roundabout and cumber-
some scheme that the Mexican government
should lend its bonds to the railroad companies
and provide a currency by authorizing a sys-
tem of national banking upon the security of
the bonds. The Mexican Central company also
controls and is pushing: the proposed railroad to
Sonora, which would be a natural connection
with the Arizona section of the South-
em Pacific. The subsidy to this Sonora
branch, which was originally in the
shape of a public land grant, has been
commuted to a money payment of $11,200 per
mile. This road extends from Guayinas to
the Arizona frontier—the part from Ixuaymas
to Herrnosillo, 80 miles, is to bo in operation
by next March—with the right to construct
branches to El Paso, Chihuahua and the an-
thracite coal lands in the Yachi river ir
Sonora. The road to Laredo, which has been
conceded to the Southern Pacific, will, if
built, afford still another through route to
the City of Mexico, in connec tion with the
Dallas and Laredo or the International and
Great Northern, in Texas, and the Iron Moun-
tain or the Missouri, Kansas ar.d Texas, in
the countrv west of the Mississippi. Whenever
either of these proposed through lines shall be
completed, the great fertile regions of Mexico
will be brought into close and intimate con-
nection with our United States railway system,
and influences will spring up to produce a new
era of prosperity in that backward country.
The City of Mexico will be as accessible to New
York and Baltimore by railroad as San Fran-
cisco now is. ar.d good roads are always the ac-
companiment of civilization.
Political Points.
M. J. Mulcahy. independent candidate for
the legislature, "speaks at the intersection of
Twenty-seventh and Market st^jets this even-
ing.
Garfield and Arthur club No. 2 met last
evening and '*enthused" over the news from
Indiana and Ohio.
Hon. R. Q. Mills, congressman from the
fourth district; James B. Stubbs, democratic
nominee for state senator; Col. Geo. P. Finlay
and H. J. Labatt. nominees for representatives,
and A. Underwood, of Brazoria, nominee for
floater, will address the citizens of Galveston
cn the political issues of the day at the Tre-
mont house, at 7.SO Saturday evening. It is
understood that Col. Mills will be given one
hour, and the remainder of the speakers three-
quarter s of an hour eac h.
The republican county executive committee
held a meeting last night and determined to
call a meeting of the campaign committees
from the various precinct clubs for the purpose
of conferring upon the propriety of putting
forth a ticket for the coming campaign.
Garfield and Arthur Precinct Cuib No. 1 had
a meeting at its hall on Broadway last Monday
night, and by resolutions ousted its president,
W. J. Lefroy, and secretary M. M. Terry, and
its can.paign committee, Simmons, Jones, Vic-
tor and Terry, and filled their places with M.
Petree for president; Edward Davis for secre-
tary, and Messi-s. Akins, Saell, Anderson,
James and McLane for campaign connmttee.
The reason £iven for this action on the part of
the club is that those who have beon turned out
violated party usages by calling a convention
of the people without authority from their
constituents or from the county executive com-
mittee.

The City Assessor's Statement.
LTo the News.l
The satisfactory statement of the city as-
sessor, which appeared in your last Sunday's
issue, appears very unsatisfactory to the av-
erage tax-paver, viz: Realty, $10,240,938; per-
sonal. $3,0o2,059. No sane man will admit that
Galveston city is possessed of so little personal
property, including money on hand, at inter-
est, merchandise, horses, mules, etc. We can
point out one firm rendering their personal
property for loss than one sixth of the interest
of one partner, and so admitted by the other
partners: also, a party holding interest-bearing
notes, secured bv real estate, aggregating
nearly $100,000, which do nefc appear on the

[To The News.]
Tyler. October S.—The writer dislikes to
ask the News to give valuable sjiace for the
discussion of mattei-s and things in a distant
state, but justice seems to demand that at least
a few of the statements which I find in a cora-
muuication from Nashville, Tenn., under date
of September 25, should be noticed, in order
that a fake impression, promulgated by so re-
spectable a paper as the News, may be re-
moved from the miuds of those who "take an
interest in Tennessee affairs; and that gross
injustice may not be done so great and good
a man as John V. Wright.
Had the author of the communication in
question availed himself of intelligent sources
or" information he never could have said to
the readers of the News that judge Wright
had held the office of governor of Tennessee
two tei*ui3 and is now seeking a re-election to
that office. All the schoolboys in thai- state
know that there never was a governor Wright
there, and, moreover, that the candidate of the
debt-paying democracy in the present can-
vass was never an aspirant to liiat office till
within the last two years.
Your Nashville correspondent says: "Wright
is an old stage*-. There are not many offices he
hasn't held. He lias been on the beach, has
been in the state legislature, has been in con-
gress, and. lastly, he has held the office of gov-
amor for two terms hi succession." Even if he
had held all those enumerated there is quite a
number that he has not held the honors and
emoluments of which were sufficient to entice
Andrew Johnson himself, for, you remember,
that it is said, that he held them "all; from aider-
man to president.
Again, your reckless writer at the capital of
Tennessee objects to judge Wright's immacu-
late shirt front and vast, and his large gold
chain. He is supported by the kid gloved and
swallow-tail coat crowd: by the liigh-toned
aristocracy, merchants and business men, says
he—and he (the writer) has managed to say
that Wright is supported bv a lar^e majority
of the newspaper press. Serein is where we
see the spleen.
Now to the facts: Jolm V. Wright was born
of "poor, but respectable parents" in the poor
town of Purdy, the county seat of the poor
county oi' McNairy, in west Tennessee. A!x>ut
the first office he ever held was that of a mem-
ber of the legislature, to which he was elected
when a very young man. He rose to distinc-
tion as a lawyer in his circuit, and was elected
to congress two or three terms prior to the war.
He raised a company of his neighbors for the
confederate army, and was elected colonel of
the 13th Tennessee infantry at its organization.
His regiment displayed conspicuous gaiiantry
at Belmont and Shilob.
After the surrender CoL Wright located at
Columbia, where he engaged in the practice of
his profession. Two years ago he was elected
judge of the Columbia circuit, a position he
held at the time of his nomination for governor.
He has positively held no other office since the
war.
If the writer, who has shown no lack of abil-
ity to make reckless assertions, will go over to
McNairy and say to the copperas-breeches and
butternut democracy of that section that judge
Wright is an 44 aristocrat, proud and impe-
rious," he will very soon see, from the broad
and significant grins of his hearers, that he
" has struck the wrong crowd." j. m. n.

A Galveston business house advertised for a

and asked:

It was in the Galveston opera-house. The
two gentlemen were from the country. After
the curtain fell on the first act one of them,
who had been reading the programme, said in
an excited manner:

I wonder if they think we are going to stay
in Galveston, at two dollars a Jay, for two
years, just to see this thing out?"

A Galveston clergyman was talking to a

literally, 44 Old Veteran." It seems, then, that
five-eighths of the old vet refused basely to fly,
hence he has the consolation that, for the most
part, he stood up to the rack. He was not com-
pletely carried away with excitement. It must
have been a singular sight to see him tiuis di-
vide himself up. As five-eighths of him stood,
that fraction of him must have included the
legs, and yet, how, then, did the three-eighths
get away without legs? Old vet did better

not about when the fight came off, and there
are said to be some who ought-to sign, w Old

Election Laws.
The papers are calling the attention of those
voting to the importance of observing the
election laws, which on account of the fact
that presidential electors and members of con-
gress are elected this year, become more com-
plicated than usual, while an army of inspec-
tors appointed under the laws of congress is
stationed at the polls all over the state to act in
the capacity of spies and informers and see
that violators of the laws are punished. There
is a very common error that voters may de-
posit their ballots anywhere for electors and
anywhere in the congressional, judicial or sen-
atorial district for the officers indicated. Such
is not the case. The code of Texas, article
1689, provides that voters shall vote in the elec-
tion precinct in which they reside.
Article 109-3. The residence of a married
man, if not separated from his wife, iii where
his wife resides. If a married man be sepa-
rated from his wife he is considered, as to his
residence, a single man. The residence of a
single man is where he usually sleeps.
Article 1087 provides that the loHowinji: per-
sons shall not be allowed to vote, to wi : 1.
Idiots and lunatics. 2. All paupers supported
by the county. 3. All persons convicted of a
felony. 4. All soldiers, marines and seamen
employed in the service of the army or navy
of the "United States.
Article 108>5 provides that every male person,
who is subject to neither of the disqualifica-
tions named in the preceding article, who shall
have attained the age of twenty-one years, a ..id
who shall be a citizen of the United States, aisad
who shall have resided in the state one yet sr
and the cojinry the last six months next "pro-
ceding the election, shall be deemed a qualified
voter; and every male person of forei?7i birth,
subject to none of the disqualifications afore-
said. who at any time before tho election shall
have declared his intention to become a citizen
of the United States, and who shall have re-
sided in the state one year ami the county the
last six months next preceding the election,
shall also be allowed to vote.
Articles 145 to 148 of the Penal Code provides
that, if any person shall brib or offer to bribe
a voter or officer of election, or if any voter or
officer of election shall accept a bribe, the par-
ty so offending .-hall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding ^5'M).
Article 10*>. Pe nal Code, provides that if any
person other than a peace officer shall carry
any gun, pistol, bowie-knife or other dansrerous
weapon on tho day of elections, while the polls
ai-e open, within the distance of one-half mile
of any voting place, he shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $100 nor more than $o00,
and. in addition, may be imprisoned not less
than one m< >nth in the county jail.
Article 165, Penal Code, provides that if any
person, knowing himself not to be a qualified
voter, shall at. any election vote or offer to
vote, he shall be punished by confinement in
the penitentiary not less than two nor more
than five years.
Article 100 provides that if any person votes
or atrompts to vote more than one time he shall
be punished by confinement in the penitentiary
not less than two or more than five years.
Article 371, Penal Code, provides "that if any
person shall, before or after any election, wager
or bet in any manner whatever upon jhe results
cf such election, he shall be fined not-less than
$25 nor more than $1000.
Article 373 provides: The bet or wager may
be of money or anything of value: and any de-
vice in the form of purchase or sale, or in any
form made for the purpose of concealing the
true intention of^ the parties is equally within
the meaning of bet or wager.
See article 1097, Revised Statutes, and note
the Acts of 1879, chapter 112, providing that
"all ballots shall be written or printed on plain
white paper, without any picture, sigi^et, de-
vice, or stamp or mark, except the writing or
printing in black ink or black pencil cf the
nanus of the candidates and the several offices
to be filled, and except the name of the politi-
cal party whose candidates are on the ticket;
provided, such ballots may be written or print-
ed on plain white foolscap", legal cap or letter
paper: provided, that all ballots containing the
name of any candidate ]>asted over the liame
of any other candidate shall not be counted for
such candidate whose name is so pasted, and
any ticket not in conformity with the above
shall not be counted.

Warrick county gives 247 democratic ma-

cans elect the entire county ticket in Vigo, in-
cluding a senator and two representatives. In
the first congressional district Heilaian, repub-
lican, is elected by a small majority, and in the
seventh Poole, republican, is probably elected.
This will give the republicans eight and the
democrats five congressmen. The republicans
have a majority in both branches of the legis-
lature.
Indianapolis, October 13.—The following
editorials are fiom the late edition of the morn-
ing papers. The Sentinel (democratic) says:
As late as five o'clock this morning there are
still over one thousand voting Drecincts to
hear from. In 245 precincts the reported net
republican gain is 1814. The republicans are
claiming the state by over 5000 majority, but
returns do not show "it. and we hope that when
the remaining precincts are heard from that
Lander's election will be secured bv a majority.
The Journal (republican) says: {Returns from
Indiana come in very slowly. The ticket is
very long and most of the precincts in the
cities are large, so that tho rejjorts received at
this hour are confined mainly to small county
precincts. Few, if any, of the cities will be
heard from before the afternoon. Returns
received indicate a steady gain of Porter which,
if continued throughout tho state at the same
ratio, would elect him by about 3000 majority.
We expect, however, to hear of the republican
^ains in the large cities, especially the manu-
tacturing centers, where the tarrill question as-
sumed the proportions calculated From
the outlook at "this hour we do not see
that it is impossibles.
Indianapolis, October 13.—Returns from
590 voting places give a democratic vote of
105.090, republican 116,881, national 5478. The
same places in 1870 gave the democrats 100,895,
Republicans 105,708, nationals 6089; net repub-
lican gain 0018. The democratic majority for
governor in 1870 was 1139. Tho al>ove is 48
per cent of the vote of the state. If the bal-
auee of the state to hear from gives the same
ratio of gains- Porter's maj ority will be 0131.

city and county, with 47 voting* precincts which
give a republican gain of 705. The following

from all parts of Indiana, including Indian-

counties in the southern part of the state, from
which nothing has been heard.
terest has been manifested here to-day in the
election news, the interest centering almost
entirely on the returns from Indiana. At the
republican headquarters, special telegrams
have been received from the chairman of the
committees in all but eight counties of Ohio,
showing complete returns on the secretary of
state and supreme judge. According to the
returns from these eighty counties on the vote
for secretary of state the republican gains are
7909, and* the democratic gains 5657;
the net reeublican gain over Fosters plurality of
1712 last year is 2248. The net republican gain
on the supreme judge is 4448. The counties yet
to hear from are Brown, Licking, Lucas, Otta-
wa, Perry, Pickaway, Ross and Sandusky.
Partial returns from Ross and Lucas show con-
siderable republican gains. The republican
commietee conclude from the figures that
Townsend's majority for secretary of state will
be close to 20,000, and Mcllvaine's plurality
for supreme judge 22,000. No figures have
been received showing the majority given for
congressmen, but enough is known to make
the committee feel sure that the republicans
have elected fifteen out of twenty congress-
men. At democratic headquarters there are
returns from seventy counties, and these, the
democratic committee claim, show a net dem-
ocratic gain of 1573 on the secretary of state
over Foster's vote. They say that the same
atio will net a gain in the state of 2002. This
committee concedes the election of fifteen re-
publican congressmen. These figures are all
tliat can be obtained to-night.
Letter from CasS roville.
[To the News.l
Castrovtlle, October 9.—The quiet of our
little burg is so welcome that the non-office-
seeking people almost rejoice at the absence of
our local county candidates, who are in the
out-of-town precincts advocating their claims
to public favors.
Our district court did not sit the full term
allotted by law; much business was disposed
of by last Thursday, when it adjourned. Of
conviction we had only one—already reported
in dispatch to News—and as an appeal was
had there is no increase for Huntsville from
here.
San Antonio parties want men and mowing
machines, but all of our mowers are so busy in
our fine grasses that none will leave.
To show the demand of immigrants I may
state that one of our leading men here, upon
the news of the arrival of the few immigrants
at San Antonio, wixrte to parties in there to
send him some hands; an immediate answer
followed, 4'all gone." Not only here, but

A great drawback to immigration is on the
part of the very men sent off to advance it.
The last weekly Freie Presse contains an ac-
count of one agent. (Mr. Muench, at Bazle,
Switzerland.) who certainly, by over-drawing
a picture, that is good enough when actual
facts are adhered to, can have no other aim
than to people Texas, without the second
thought that he will cause more disappoint-
ment and discontentedness among his dupes,
than reliable agents can counteract by truth-
ful statements. Texans, who love their native
or adopted country, should proclaim the merits
and demerits of our great and growing state.
Others may overdraw their own little soils as
much as they please, but Texas should be found
exactly so by the immigrant, as it or any cer-
tain portion of it was represented to him. No
good can come of agents belonging to other
states working for Texas.

A Hew in the French Cabinet.
London, October 13.—Regarding the rumors
of dissensions in the French cabinet, the Paris
correspondent of the Times says: M. Ferry,
president of the council and minister of public
instruction, thinks that it is a paltry thing to
direct his efforts to tho dispersion of thirteen
thousand unrecognized monks and nuns where
there are 112,000 who can not be disturbed,
they being already recognized. The minister
of the interior and of worship, M. Constant,
however, regards the dispersion of these thir-
teen thousand as an achievement which may
lispense with tho necessity of any other pro-
gramme. In view of tlu's conflict of opinion,
M. Ferry has l>egged president Grew to hasten
his return to Paris, when it is expected the
great battle between the two parties, one rep-
resenting the dictates of M. Gam bet fa. presi-
dent of the chamber of deputies, and the other
leaning cn president Gravy, will be decided.

annexation of any portion of their
territory by this country were groundless now

and that tbiey had everything to gain by the
cultivation of closer commercial relations with
the United States. Gen. Grant expressed the

take our manufactures in payment therefor,

Longview Era: On last Monday evening
Mr. Sam Wilkins was shot by one of the mill
hands by the name of Morgan. Morgan had
been working for Mr. Wilkins. and on Monday
evening demanded his money, to which Mr.
Wilkins replied that he had the money and
would settle off with all hands after supper.
Morgan then spoke in rather a petulent mood,
and said that he wished to leave on the train,
which was about ready to start to Longview
junction. Mr. Wilkins then remarked that
that was rather short notice, and without an-
other word. Morgan drew his pistol and fired at
Mr. Williams, the bell striking him in the head
just above and between the eves. Fortunately,
however, the bell glanced and did not penetrate
the skull, but ranged up under the scalp, on top
of his head. We are truly glad to learn that no
sorious result is likely to" follow, as Mr. Wil-
kins was able to be up and attending to his
business on Tuesday. Morgan, the woukUbe
assassin, was captured.
