The Pittsburg Magnet reports that the
farmers of Camp county are excited on
account of the tax on farm products,
and adds:
This tax is regarded as an outrage on
civilization. Several say that they will
not pay it. But there is no help for
them. The law is plain and the of-
ficers must do their duty. The only
remedy in the matter is an amendment
to the constitution.
The Magnet also remarks as follows:
Hon. D. B. Culberson will address
the people of Camp county, at Pitts-
burg, April 14th. He will explain the
" true inwardness" of the electoral
commission. We anticipate a great
treat from his address. But he will not
make himself any more popular by it.
He is already as popular as any man
can be in this section. The whole popu-
lation believe hi pa to be entirely capa-
ble for his high position, and that none
could be more faithful in the discharge
of the functions of his office.
Camp county can boast of as fine a
class of young lawyers as any county in
the State. They are studious, persever-
ing and aspiring.
Then the Magnet says:
R. W. Hudson, our County Attorney,
has been a thorn in the fle?h to evil-
doers for months. But it is a poor rule
that fails to work both ways. Some-
body has put a thorn into his flesh, and
now he cries "null" and quits the
field like his predecessor. His resigna-
tion takes place on April 21st.
Does that look like persevering law-
yers? Two of them throw up the office
of County Attorney in a few months.
Mr. Ferguson's cat could purr-severe to
better purpose. Camp county lawyers
must learn to perspire as well as aspire
to merit the encomiums of the Magnet.
An up-country paper complains that
fairs, festivals and ether diversions for
charitable and religious purposes are
growing to be rather monotonous, not
to say expensive. For shame! The
spring season for such things has just
set in. The Chicago Tribune mentions
a similar growl up in that fresh water
seaport, and says:
The unhappy man who has been
lured all winter to take chances in a
lottery for a chamois oyster drowned in
a bushel of hot peppered milk, at fifty
cents a plate, is no sooner rejoicing in
his emancipation from church sociables
than the pious ladies of the congrega-
tion begin to plan strawberry festivals.
A lady who is considered an authority
on such subjects writes that this spring's
fashion in short-cake will have more
saw dust than usual in it, and will be
cut bias and trimmed with one berry to
the piece. The most fashionable tint
will be two shades of saleratus yellow.
The editor of the Waxahachie En-
terprise objects to having his thundtr
stolen. He says :
Mr. Mills predicted that Hayes would
be counted in by the Eloctoral commis-
sion, and now nearly everybody wants
him made Governor. We predicted
months before the election that Tilden
would be elected, but that Hayes would
be counted in; still only a few have in-
timated that our name should occupy
the first place on the State ticket.
Perhaps his editorial responsibilities
and temptations are enough for the
publisher of the Enterprise, without
adding those of office. The St. Louis
Westliehe Post, in speaking of the ap-
pointment of Carl Schurz, one of the
Pest firm, as a cabinet officer, says:
Mr. Schurz, while he occupies his
official position, will not be responsible
for our editorial utterances any more
than we shall be responsible for hi3
official acts.
It is always well to keep on the safe
side. Governors, as well as cabinet
officers, are often subject to very unfa-
vorable criticism.
The youthful members of the Texas
press gang are warned against the habit
of joking at each other's expense they
have fallen into. Some quarrels have
grown out of it already, and as the dog
days are approaching the danger in
creases. The Leader prints the follow-
ing pertinent advice to jokers in gener-
al, though it does not appear to apply
to the little fellow who is supposed to
be able to hide under three thimbles at
once:
Jokes are dangerous articles to play
with; they are a sort of mouth grenades
that are apt to explode before you are
aware of it. A joker should under
stand their nature, and the nature of
his company well, before he introduces
them. He may suppose they will re-
commend him to favor, but he is fre
quently mistaken. The man who labors
to be witty, loses his breath and is con
sidered to have rather weak mind.
Never was there a truer sentence writ
ten, and one which, view it in every
way, must result in the same conclu
sion, than that "a silent tongue sboweth
a wise head."
Remember, also, the advice given by
the venerable colored man to the ba
boon, "Don't talk; the first word you
say, white man will get you in trouble.
But even reticence does not always save
our mute brethren from the attacks of
the press. The San Antonio Herald, in
mentioning the presence of the organ-
grinder and his monkey in that city,
says:
The Italian plays accompaniments,
while the junior member of the firm
dances about on his bind legs, and
passes the hat, just as if he was at
church. The senior member of the
firm should be urged to perform on the
streets with a pick-axe; the young mon
key should be sent over to Seguin to
occupy the vacant editorial chair of the
Guadalupe Times.
Of course San Antonio does not need
any more antics on her editorial staffs
at present. She has more than her share
already.
The Dallas llerrld proclaims that
neither the News, Mr. Morgan, nor any
other earthly power can serve the best
commercial interests of Galveston until
the back of the wharf monopoly is
effectually broken by stringent legisla-
tion on the subject of charges. Neither
can Morgan fix Galveston as the ter
minal point of his immense carrying
business as long as it continues, be
cause, if he can avoid the excessive
charges of the wharf company, he
should and will do so. The interests
of the State are bound up in this mat.
ter, and they must be cared for. We
would be glad to see Galveston reap
the advantage of Morgan's great com
bination, but if she allows the possi-
bility to be defeated by this most un-
fortunate (for her) monopoly, we want
to see the point of shipment by water
moved, so that we can get the full ben-
efit in the interior of the cheaper rates
prevailing already, since Morgan's ad-
vent into the Central's councils.
£.The Sherman Register indorses the
approbation bestowed on Gov. Hubbard
by the Dallas Commercial, and adds:
We have observed closely the ad-
ministration of Governor Hubbard
since he assumed the executive office of
this State, and we feel that we are but
speaking the sentiment of our people
■when we say he is one of the best gov-
ernors Texas has ever had.
The law against profane swearing
does not seem to be rigidly enforced in
Coryell county. The Sun says:
If you want to hear an honest
Granger make a choice selection of cuss
words, just ask him what he thinks of
the men who made a law taxing the
contents of his smoke-house and corn
crib.
The Sherman Register of Monday
says:
Col. DeArmand came up to-day from
McKinoey. He says that Gov. Throck-
morton made one of the powerful ef-
forts of his life Saturday, and that his
speech was enthusiastically received.
The people of Collin indorse his course
on the electoral bill, and he is more
popular than ever before.
Of the tax on farm products the
Register remarks:
It is nothing more nor less than tax-
ing the farmer's income, while no other
class is required to pay an income tax.
It is no argument in favor of the jus-
tice of this tax to say that an occupa-
tion tax is exacted of'the merchant and
banker. The tax on occupations is
equally unjust and ruinous to the pros-
perity of the country, and should be
abolished. In the same amendment to
the constitution by which we would
abolish the tax on farm products, we
would wipe out forever the levying of
taxes on occupations and professions.
The Herald tells how the Mexican
veterans of San Antonio prove up their
claims to pensions from Texas:
One of them wanted a lawyer to
draw up a petition for a pension to the
County Court for him as a Texas vt te-
ran. "Where did you serve in the
Texan army?" inquired the lawyer.
" At the Alamo, with Travis and
Crockett. I am the only living sur-
vivor of the massacre." "How will
you prove it?" inquired the lawyer,
with an incredulous smile. Pointing
to his two aged companions, the old
Mexican, with tears in his eyes, replied:
" By these two worthy citizens. They
belonged to my company, and we all
three escaped together. Va'geme dios
Some editors are given to romance.
The Herald says the letters of a news-
paper man who lately visited San An-
tonio are written with a graphic pen.
This is an error. They were witten
with a graphite pencil.
A letter to the Herald says that
Boerne is to have a newspaper. In a
month or two the Uni«n Land Register,
published monthly by C. W. Vogel, at
Houston, will be removed to Boerne,
and issued as a weekly.
Humane treatment and efforts for tie
moral and religious reform of prison-
ers are now regarded as parts of prison
discipline, though in Texas the law
seems to require petty offenders to
work for their living like honest men.
Nevertheless, prisoners ask for a con-
sideration of their comfort and reli-
gious interests. The Waco Examiner
says:
Occupants of the county jail say the
location of the new courthouse was
badly chosen. It cuts off every breath
of the south breeze, almost indispens-
able to existence in the heated season,
from the prison building.
That courthouse ought to be re-
moved, and the aid of Reavis, the
great capital mover, should be asked in
performing the work. But a more se-
rious want is felt in the adjoining
county. The Waco prisoners are evi-
dently an intelligent set, and mindful
of the laws of health, if not of the laws
of the State. A writer on the impor-
tance of pure air in rooms, remarks
that "it purifies the blood and gives
health to the whole system, almost
doubles a man's life, and more than
doubles his capacity for enjoyment.
Remember, also, that breathing through
the nose is essential for good health,
and preventing of lung complaints."
But men are not like chamelions were
once supposed to be, capable of living
on air alone, or like the frogs that fos-
sil hunters find imbedded in stone, ca-
pable of living without it or anything
else, save being hermetically sealed up.
It is stated that the prisoners in the
Meridian (Bosque county) jail have
petitioned to have Bibles placed in
their cells.
This request should be grantad at
once. The prisoners only ask to be put
on a level with the heathen, for whose
benefit the Bible has been printed in
one hundred and fifty languages. Bi-
bles are cheap, and should be furnished
as an antidote to the dime novels,
which aid so largely in the education
of the inmates of our jails. Convicts
are made by yellow covered literature;
converts by the Bible.
Occasionally some country cousin
takes offense at something in the News
and undertakes to squelch it. The
Madison Plain-Dealer is not of the
number, however; it says:
The Galveston News has the largest
circulation of any newspaper in Texas,
and is sought after and read by more
people than any other paper in our
State. There is no use talking about
doing away with the News, it can't be
done. A person might as wtll try to
do without eating.
COMKEECIAL.
SEWS OFFICE, 1
Thursday Evknino, March 29, 1877. t
There has been no improvement in trade
to-day, nor is there any looked for during the
next couple ot days. As a rule merchants do
not like to receive monthly statements ren-
dered a couple of days after purchases.
They take some interest in seeing the "bal-
ance to yr. dr." as light as possible, especially
when che creditor is in the habit ot carrying
the interest in monthly.
In values of provisions there lias been some
shrinkage to report. Bacon is marked down
l ie. Toe decline is barely nominal, however,
as transactions hare been trivial. Sugars are
v,-oak and tend dawn. Stocks of molasses are
light, especially of Texas goods, and prices
are sustained.
Coffee is selling slowly, and importers' sales
since last Saturday foot up only 1700 sacks.
The stock in port in first hands is now re-
duced to 8300 sacks.
Hides have again given way 3^c. As high
as 14$j(£15c. was paid to-day for dry flint,
selected and to weigh 23 lbs. and over, but the
bulk of the business was done at 14J£e., and
the market closed weak.
There was only a little driblet of cotton re-
ceived at all ports to-day. The news has gen-
erally been more encouraging, and futures at
home and abroad have advanced. Exporters
went into the New York spot market yester-
day and took over three thousand bales. The
consequence appears manifest in the recov-
ery of the decline of 3-16c. early in the week.
Liverpool closed hardening for spot and
higher for arrivals.
Silver took a sharp upward turn in the Lon-
don market to-day, and closed at 54%@55d.
per oz. for fine bar, against 53^d. yesterday.
A more favorable condition of trade in
Manchester will likely ensue.
To-morrow (Good Friday) and Saturday be-
ing holidays, no report will be issued by the
Cotton Exchange, and no dispatches will be
received from any direction. With the excep-
tion of the recording of the local movement
to-morrow will be a dies tiOh at the Exchange.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market opened easier
and l-16d. lower, but closed hardening, with
sales during the day 12.000 bales, including 8700
A nee ican and *000 for export and speculation.
The imports footed up 23,500 bales, including
17,800 from America. The market for arriva s
opened with buyers offering l-32d. higher, and
closed steady. Owing to next Friday being a
holiday the weekly statement was made up to
Wednesday, and will be found elsewhere in
this column.
The New York spot market opened quiet
and nominally unchanged. Prices advanced
l-16d. at noon, and closed quiet at another ad-
vance of 1 16c. making the advance of %c. for
the day. The sales wt re very light, amount-
ing to only 273 bales, alii to spirnsrs.
Futures opened firm and closed steady at
advanced prices, with sales of 78,200 bales.
The net receipts at the outports for the day
footed up'the insignificant amount of 1305
bales, against 4436 last Thursday and 8477 for
the corresponding period last year.
The stock at all ports, as made un this
evening is 7*8,705 bales, against 634,399 for the
sameitime last season.
The deficit in the receipts at the outports
thus far this season, as compared with the
like period last year, is 26,580 bales.
The New Orleans market closed quiet at an
advance of J£c. on middling, with sales of 1500
bales.
In this market sales to the extent of only VI
bales were reported, distributed among three
brokerage firms. No alteration in prices oc-
curred, but the market closed " steadier."

Willis, Texas, March 27, 1877.
Eds. News—We are enjoying beauti
ful weather, and everybody is planting.
There will be more cotton put in this
season than for many years. There is
great lack of seed, so much more land
is being planted. We are building a
cistern on Steward street, so that we
may have an abundance of water incase
of fire. All day long can be heard the
sound of the saw and hammer: a num
ber of new buildings are going up all
over town. The public health is very
good. All the lumber mills are running
full time. They can't get the lumber
out soon enough. Every train north
and south bears full loads of lumber.
Every train brings immigrants, seeking
locations, who buy land and settle in
this county.
Drummers are as thick here as flie3
around a molasses pitcher—they come
from every State. The St. Louis men
are down in the mouth because our
merchants believe in patronizing home
industries.
The freedmen are all busy in their
crops. A lecture was delivered last
night in the African M. E. Church by
Kev. Mr. Marment, on "The Education
of the Negro and the A. M. E Church."
The lecture was for the benefit of the
college that church is building at Waco,
Texas. The lecture was very instruc-
tive, and showed that the speaker had
fully mastered his subject. The citi-
zens listened attentively, and donated
liberally to this object. j.
A veky interesting scientific report
on oyster culture has lately been pre
sented to the French government.
From this it appears that oyster cul
ture has been for some time prose
cuted in France so carefully and with
such success that the supply will soon
be very largely increased.

HEALTH OFFICE. 1
Galveston, March 29th, 1877. (
As the sum.ner season is approaching, I
would respectfully call the attention of citi-
zens to the following extract from the Re-
vised Ordinances of the city, chapter 24th,
article 1, section 4th:
*»»**•«»
Section 4th. It shall not be lawful for any
person to throw, place, leave, or deposit, or
to suffer or permit his or her servant, or pny
other person of his or her family, to throw,
place, leave, or deposit the carcass of any
dead animal, or any carrion, putrid meat,
fish, entrails, trash, or other unwholesome
substance, in any square, avenue, street or
alley, or upon any lot within the city, or upon
any grounds within the limits thereof, except
such ground or place as shall from time to
time be designated by the Health Physician
for such purpose; and for every violation the
offender shall be subject, on conviction, to a
fine of not more than twenty-five dollars for
each and every offense.
-*•*«»»*
In connection with the above, I would state
that hereafter the garbage carts will pass
through the alleys each and every day, for
the purpose of removing all refuse matter
that may accumulate, and you are requested
to have all such matter placed in tubs, boxes,
or barrels, ready for the said carts. In case
of any neglect or failure in the performance
of his duties by the garbage contractor, a
complaint to that effect left at the office of
the Health Officer will meet with prompt at-
tention. W. F. BLUNT, M. D ,
Health Officer.
I have given instructions to the police forc'i
to arrest all persons violating the above ordi-
nance. JOE A. OWENS,

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DEBILITY.
Dr. Davieson refers, with much satisfaction
and pride, to the uniform success which has
attended his practice in New Orleans, during
which he has treated many difficult and long
standing cases, in all instances restoring
health and vigor to his patients, thus confirm-
ing the high reputation he has long enjoyed
in St. Louis.
As other engagements, which must receive
his personal attention, will necessitate his de-

avail themselves of his thorough scientific
knowledge, gained by long and varied exper-
ience and unwavering devotion to his profes-
sion, should call at once.

ter, Dr Davieson can not answer such commu-
nications unless they contain the usual con-
sultation fee of five dollars.

and to accommodate the large number who
wish to consult him before his departure, his
evening hours will be from 5 to 8 o'clock.
