A visit to the county jail showed that there
are seven lunatics within its walls, as follows-
Mrs. Johnson, committed by judge Williams;
Madeline Guis, by judge Williams; Lavilla
Payne, by the recorder; George Cleveland, by
judge Williams; George, the "Prodigal Son,"
by the recorder: Sol Rector, by the recorder;
Wm. Shea, by the recorder. Dr. Towsey, in a
communication with Dr. W. E. Saunders, su-
perintendent of the insane asylum, in relation
to these people, received the following letter:
State Lunatic Asylum, Austin. Texas, July 8,
1880— l>r. Samuel Towsey—Dear Sir: We can ac-
commodate one or two females, but the male de-
partment is very crowded, and at present there is
no room for a male patient, and I can not tell how
soon a vacancy will occur. Very respectfully,
W. E. Saunders, Superintendent.
The above letter shows that the county
physician can not dispose- of the unfortunate
people on his hands, as he would like to do.
The insane must stay in the county jail until
a vacancy occurs in the state asylum.
The Wharf.
The steamship Aransas, of the Morgan line,
came in yesterday morning from New York.
The schooner Zeta Psi left yesterday morn-
ing for Stockton, Ala.
The brig Florence. Capt. Flynn, is now ready
for sea.
The Carondelet sailed yesterday for New
York.
The schooner Daniel Goos left yesterday for
Lvnchburg, where she will go on the ways.
'The lighter Daniel Peggotty left yesterday
for Lynchburg. She will go on the ways.
The schooner Reliable, Capt. Smith, arrived
yesterday, with lumber, from Orange, and is
disch&aging at Lufkin's wharf.
It is the height of courtesy to call things
lively on the wharf. Elevator slip is the only
place on the whofe line that shows signs of life
unless a train of railroad iron dashes by, in-
tended for tlio lilies above. A ^ull wharf is
something that is not kept up long in Galves-
ton.
The schooner Juanita Julia arrived at eleva-
tor slip yesterday evening, with sails furled.
She brought an assorted cargo from Mexico.
They reported heavy winds from the east-
ward.
The schooner Lottie Mayo arrived yester-
day and is at Williams's wharf.
Through Glasses.
Yesterday a News reporter looked through
field glasses in the direction of Bolivar, to the
south, and saw a tug moving about and men at
work. They are, under the direction of Col.
Mansfield, working to get deep water in the
channel, and if there is anything in the system
the largest ship that floats may possibly come
in and tie up at the wharf. Col. Mansfield
and his subordinates are laboring under the
Dutch system that opened the mouth of the
Maas and gave to Rotterdam, Holland, a mer-
cantile communication that she lacked.
The passage was made through the
Hook of Holland by means of
jetties, and proved a succcss doubly, as the
jettied entrance has not only fulfilled expecta-
tions, but the method of construction of fas-
cines and stone, for the first time exposed to
open sea exposure, realized all anticipations,
and established a certain economical way of
constructing these sea works on sand coasts.
The system, epitomized, is as follows: The
body of the structure is made up of succe. sive
layers of mattresses, each overspread with a
layer of small quarry stone. The ground mat-
tress is made with a top and bottom
grillage of fascines, the interstices
between the fascines and the filling be-
tween the grillages being bundles of ozier.
The mattresses are made at Bolivar, near the
place of work. The work will be similar to
that done at the mouth of the Mississippi, as
taken from the labor of the Hollanders at the
mouth of the Maas. Experience has proved
that neither storms nor strong currents hav«
been able to damage the jetties at the mouth of
the Maas. There is every reason to believe
that the work in the hands of Col. Mansfield
will prove a success.
An Appeal from Ireland.
P. S. Wren, secretary of the Irish Relief
association in this city, yesterday received the
following appeal for aid from the Emerald
isle, which goes far to show that the sufferings
of the people there are not yet entirely over:
Orphanage of our Blessed Lady of Mount
Carmel, Presentation Convent. Stradbally, Queen's
Countv. Ireland. June 16, 1*80.—Gentlemen: I beg
to ask" your aid in favor of the direful distress now
exir-tiug in 4ie neighborhood. The childeen at-
tending our convent schools, numbering SCO. are
now almost all in a positive state cf starvation.
We are obliged, out of our now almost exhausted
means, to feed' and give them clothing. Besides,
we have lately established here, under our
special care, two orphanages, one for little boys,
and the other for girls, whom we have saved from
want and misery, of every kind, an.l from every
part of our unfortunate and now suffering island.
Over 200 of these littlo ones have already been res-
cued. They have b*en placed in the orphanages
under our care. So far are doing well.
We purpose training them for various situations
in life according as we see tho bi?nt of their incli-
nations .and talents. You know Ireland's children
are endowed with superior gifts of mind. We
have already sent over forty to different situations.
Providence has watched over them, and wo are
gratified tQ-say aVl continue to give satisfaction.
We have nojpossible means of continuing our good
work, unless the friends of " old Ireland " in every
part of Hie world come to our aid. Hoping you
will excuse this appeal, which no Irisii heaitcan
refuse, as over one thousand more of these child-
ren are crying out to be received into the orphan-
ages, I am gentlemen, yours faithfully in heart,
Sistkr Mary Vincent Duff.

Relief Association, Galveston, Tesas, U. S. A.

Disssreeably Surprised.
A great many republican office-holders m
the island city were disagreeably surprised
yesterday by the receipt of letters demanding
a voluntary contribution of one-quarter of
of their monthly salary for campaign pur-
poses.
Runaway.
Yestorday morning a horse belonging to Mr.
Dalian, and attached to a bugfcy, took fright
and ran down Market street at a great rate of
speed, upsetting the buggy near the corner of
Twenty-fourth street. Strange to relate, both
horse and buggy escaped without injury.
A Mystery.
Lost night as Officer Hill was investigating
the contents of some barrels containing sweep-
ings, which stood on the corner of Strand and
Twenty-fourth streets, he found a human skull
among the rubbish, the same being in a good
state of preservation, but how it came there
nobody seems to know.
An Insane Man.
George WooJro, whose queer actions were
■written up ou Sunday last in the News, under
the heading of 44 A Strange Character," was
yesterday arrested ill the vicinity of the mar-
ket as he" was toting along his queer-looking
pack composed of old tinware, broken china
and sich, by otficer Werner, on a charge of in-
sanity, and lodged iu the citjr jail.
Railroad Combination.
It is reported, on apparently good authority,
that the contract has been signed between the
International and Great Northern, and the
Gulf, Coiofado and Santa Fe railroad com-
panies, in accordance with which the former
road send their freight cars into Galveston
over the last named road, almost immediately,
and its passenger trains on and after August 1.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road have a
number of new passenger coaches ordered,
which are expected to arrive here to-day.
A Street Corner aTllll.
Last night about d o'clock the attention of
Officer Ravey was attracted by the loud talk-
ing and belligerent actions of two colored
women named Emma Thomas and Susie Boyd,
who stood on the corner of Postoffice and
Twentieth streets. The trouble grew out of
the fact that both claim the same man as
their husband, and as he had given one of
them enough money to buy a sack of flour and
some butter with, "the other naturally kicked.
For a time it was a lively cat skermish, but
the officer finally stepped in and calmed the
troubled waters by taking them both in
charge. _
A Bird Nuisance.
The English sparrows, of which a few speci-
mens were brought here some years ago, have
multiplied so fast of late that in many por-
tions oE the city they are complained of as a
positive nuisance. Many citizens have found
it necessary to close up the ornamental opon
work on their residences, to prevent the little
chirpers from building their nests there, while
they are a perfect terror to the horticulturist,
as they destroy all of his grasses and figs as
fast as they ripen. Wherever the sparrows
congregate, that locality is given a wide berth
by the rest of the feathered songsters, who
are one by ene driven off by these ugly little
rascals.
Two Men Missing.
Last Saturday morning two men and a wo-
man registered at Mrs Taylor's boarding-
house, on the corner of Twenty-fourth and
"VVinnie streets. On Saturday evening the men
were missing. Their names are Robert Harns-
bur and VV llliam Smith. Mr. Harnsbur had
his wife with him. She was the sister of Mr.
Smith. Mrs. Harnsbur left yesterday for
Round Rock to meet a married sister, after
awaiting the return of brother and husband.
The family was from Arkansas, having gone
to Lake Charles in a wagon, and thence here
on the schooner James Ahdrew. When Mr.
Harnsbur disappeared he was known to have
bad $1000 on his person.
Personal.
Mr. Chris. Fox, who has been seriously ill of
late, was much better yesterday.
Capt. R. L. Fulton was again on the streets
yesterday, after a serious illness
G. D. Jerry* a merchant doing business at
Cbappell Hill, is visiting the city and can be

Mrs. R. O. Johnson, of McKinnev,5is spend-
ing the summer with her friends, Capt. and

down the island.
The Hottest Day If etc
The usual question which men asked each
other when they met on yesterday was, " Weil,
is this hot enough for you'" and it was always
answered in the affirmative. Long before the
sun was up the sleepers turned uneasily in their
beds, looking for a cool place, and as the day
advanced the complaints regarding the heat
became numerous. At 6 a. m. the thermome-
ter in the observatory of the signal office
marked 83% the wind, of which there was but
little, blowing from the south. At 8 o'clock
the wind veered around to the north-
west, and at 10 o'clock the mercury
had risen to 86° and was still going up the
scale. From that time ou it grew hotter and
hotter with each passing moment, and sun um-
brellas were in great demand among that class
of the island city people whose business led
them out into the streets. At a quarter of
o'clock in the afternoon the wind again tacked
into the south, and at 2 o'clock the quicksilver
stood firm at 92% which is said by the signal
service officer to be thfl#highest point it has
yet reached this season. At 6.30 p. 3d. it had
fallen to 81% and a slight rain that fell shortly
afterward cooled off the atmosphere amaz-
ingly. ^

Suggestions of a Plain Old Citizon.
LTo the News.l
Livingston, PolkCotint/, uly 5,18S0.—Wil
you permit me through your columns to make
some inquiries of tho candidates at the coming
e'ection what their views are on tlio followirg
subjects, which I think are of groat important-.-
to the mass of the people? I a. ser that to
have an honest press we must pay a ) l support
it: likewise, to have an honest and efficient
government, taxes must be collected to support
it; and I do not believe that the whole wisdom
of the state is centered in the officers of the
government, but that some of it remains wi h
the people. I am induced to ask for opinions
respecting land that is sold for taxes, and how
it could be disposed of to the best advantage to
the state, seeing so much land throughout the
sta'e is to be sold for taxes.
My humble opinion is that a great number
of people are land-poor, and that deeded land
is a failure. I would suggest that land revert-
ing to the state should be occupied only by ac-
tual cultivators, such cultivator to pay rent in
the shape of taxes, say twenty-fivo cents per
acre (more or le^s) annually for all the land he
cultivates, giving him free access to timber for
fencing and firewood, and guaranteeing him
the full possession by a state certificate and
tax receipt, being all the title required by law,
granting him the privilege of retaining or sell-
ing his improvements at his pleasure. The
present land system, I think, would stand re-
form, and a good deal of it, considering that
forty acres improved and in cultivation is as-
sessed and pays taxes about the
same as six hundred acres lying out
wild, and as each owner has the
same monopoly, and privilege of cultivating
his lands, all ought to be taxed in proportion
to quantity of the sam? class of land.
I hold that farming is an occupation, and if
an occupation tax is collected in the state,
farming ought to come under that head," and
be amenable to it, and not assessed on the im-
provements on the land they cultivate to sup-
port their families. Land is land, whether
held by speculator or cultivator. I think,
also, that the state elephant, the penetentiary,
ought to be colonized out west on one of those
fine prairies, where there is abundauce or" good
land, and plenty of rock for building purposes:
where they would not only maintain and
clothe themselves, but also maintain and
clothe every charitable institution in the state,
and bo no longer a dead weisrht to the
state, and as the land m doing
nobody 'any good at present. I don't know to
what better advantage it could be put, and I
think it would effect a considerable saving in
the state's finances eventually, giving the
buildings at present occupied by the elephant
to educational purposes.
Acknowledging my ignorance of political
economy and reform, I have addressed this to
you, hoping that you will kindly do me the
favor of publishing it. so that those gentlemen
wishing to become our rulers may inform us
in their speeches how they propose to deal with
the above and kindred subjects in which the
masses are deeply interested, as wo wish to put
the right men in the right place—dollars and
cents \o the contrarv. Thomas Briggs.

LTo the Nows.1
Galveston, July 12.—It becomes the duty
of all good citizens to take an interest in the
policy of the country; it is necessary for good
government and the perfect and proper ad-
ministration of the affairs of the state. In this
cay of seeming degeneracy in politicians., is it
not refreshing to know there are men eminent-
ly worthy of our highest favor and regard,
and highly capable to the discharge of the
gravest duties, if called to the helm of state,

GALVESTON SIFTIN6S.
"Shame on you! I saw you coming out of
a saloon/' said a Galveston woman to her
husband.

the time, do you i I've got to come out some
time or other.

This morning, Gilhooly, meeting a friend,
who asked him liow he was. replied:
'• I never felt more confusea in all mv life."
" Perhaps you didn't sleep well?"
" I slept tolerable, for, unfortunately, I
dreamt I was listening to one of Gov. Roberts's
campaign speeches, explaining his free school

a precautionary measure.
There is such a thing as being too extreme
in quarantine matters. For instance, there is*
Gilhooly, who believes it is impossible for
quarantine to be strict enough. Yesterdav
several gentlemen were talking about that
case of yellow fever at Nev Orleans. One
gentleman remarked: "I would not be sur-
prised if the New Orleans steamers were
stopped.''
"Only stopped! Why, they ought to be
made to carry back every passenger, and
every pound of freight thev have brought here
from New Orleans for the last six months."

"Yes, but yesterdav was the 11th, not the

little we can to help Galveston along."
a young cherub.
One of the street Arabs that infest Galves-
ton was up yesterday for stealing. A promi
nent member of the Galveston bar conducted
the defense in a very able manner. In his
speech he said: " This young unspoiled youth
is incapable of stealing the value of a pin.
Just look upon yon fair, guileless brow where
innocence sits enthroned." At this point the
lawyer's emotions got the better of him. He
searched his pocket for his handerchief to
wipe his weeping ejres, but it was gone. The
constable, however, reached over and, with a
cynical smile, yanked the missing handerchief
from inside of the shirt bosom of the weep-
ing lawyers guileless clicnt.
not for hancock.
When the gem puzzle was raging in Galves-
ton, it occurred to the enterprising proprietor
of a Galveston book store, who had the pu/.zle
for sale, to have painted a pictorial advertise-
ment of the prevailing craze. The services of
a local artist were engaged, and he produced
on large square of framed white domestic a
picture that would attract attention at a dis-
tance of several hundred yards. It represent-
ed a man who was fearfully ugly by nature.
He had racked his brain over the 13, 14, 15 un-
til he had become a raving maniac. The artist
was successful in catching his expression in
the midst of one of his most violent paroxysms.
The air is filled with the mybtical cubes, while
the unfortunate maniac is" thrashing tho sur-
rounding atmosphere with his arms hnd legs.
The expression of the maniac's face was so
horrible that several policemen were reported
to have sent in their resignations rather than
be placed on duty at the corner near which the
picture was exhibited. It was almost as bad
as that of Gov. Throckmorton as published by
an alleged friendly journal in northern Texas.
It was really a work of art, and once seen
could never be forgotten, without much diffi-
culty.
After a while, the gem puzzle died, but the
portrait of the maniac was still kept on hand.
When Hancock was nominated, the news-
dealer, being desirous of liaviug a large por-
trait of the coming man painted, t j adorn the
front of the establishment* again applied to
tho local artist. Now, times are hard in Gal-
veston. The census enumerators have reduced
the population, and the commerce of the place
is not what it u^ed to be. White domestic
costs money, so, to save expense, a splendid
portrait of Gen. Hancock was rudely sketched
on the reverse side of the gem puzzle maniac.
There was the lean, idiotically-leering juinping-
jack of a maniac on tho side of the canvas
turned to the store, while on tho side lacing the
crowded street was Gen. Hancock, dignified
and portly.
It would hardl}" have been worth while men-
t'oning the matter at all, if it were not for a
little incident that happened yesterday mora-
iug. Uncle Bill Dewzeuberry, a stauncher
democrat than whom never lived, had never
seen a picture of Gen. Hancock, and was told
that he could have his curi-
osity gratified at the book-store
where the picture was exposed. Unfortunate-
ly, the heedless youth who sweeps out the
store, in setting out the picture, had inadver-
tently exposed the gem-puzzle maniac to the
public gaze, and turned the face of the superb
soldier and statesman to the wall. Old l)ew-
zanberry rubbed his specs a time or so and
took another searching gazo at the unhappy
lunatic.
"Hello!" he called to the boss of the store;
u this heare can't be ginoral Hancock?''
" Yea it is," said the boss, not noticing the
mistake; "it is said to be an excellent like-
ness."
"I've voted the democratic ticket for forty
years, but I'll seo Hancock in Halifax befoie I
support any such bandy-legged, lantern-jawed,
flop-cared, bottle-nosed, goggie-eyed gorilla,"
and the old man toddled down the street, bran-
dishing his cane.
"What's the'matter, colonel:" asked a friend

ITo the News.]
My attention has been called to a letter of
your "special correspondence "' of Louisville,
Ky., dated July 1, 18^0, in which occurs the
following statement:
" In a recent letter from Washington I men-
tioned the Sunday law in force in various
cities, this city among them. It seems that
Dr. Stuart Robinsou. one of the most promi-
nent presbyteriau preachers in this country,
has been the leader of it here. The iaw or ob-
ject of it was born of the most puritanical
edict known, and the oppression smacked of re-
ligious persecutions of past ages. Itobiuson is
an able man and a strict advocate of his par-
ticular church and his particular views, and to
that particular church and views he would
have all mankind pander. Since he has be-
come a preacher he has become one of the
richest men in Kentucky, and with all of his
wealth and earnestness in behalf of morality,
he has never been known to give one dollar to
charity, to feed one hungry creature or clothe
one ragged or naked unfortunate."
Allow me to say to the News and itAnany
readers that your correspondent does not
know Dr. Stuart Robinson. I know of no man
who has done more iu the very line of denial
than he. I can show where he has given a
thousand at one time, and your correspondent
ought to have known it, had he been posted as
to the current events of the day. As for Dr.
R.'s position on the Sunday question, I have
nothing to say, except it is in accord with the
views of a thousand readers of the News in
Texas. But when a personal attack is made
upon a man, a thousand miles from his place
of residence, only for the reason that some of
his views do not suit your correspondent, then
hi3 friends in Texas" feeling indignant, will
put is a flat denial. All I want to say is, that
ignorance alone prompted the above quotation.
1 expect it would be a little funny to compare
Dr. R. with your correspondent. All know
who would sutler. Delta.
A special dispatch to the St. Louis Repub-
lican from Washington, dated July 7, says:
It is now known here that whatever letter
was written by Gen. Hancock on the subject
of who was elected president in 1S76, was writ-
ten in answer to a private letter from Sher-
man, asking his views on a hypothetical case.
The letter and answer were written
long before the formation of the elec-
toral commission. Gen. Sherman can not
properly make public the letter, but in it Gsn.
Hancock simply stated that he would obey Mr.
Tildeu as commander-in-chief of the army
should that gentleman be declared elected and
take the oath of office. At that time Gen.
Sherman himself had declared his belief that
Hayes was elected, and had begun to concen-
trate troops to seat him, no matter what con-
gress might say. In this connection the story
is revived that Sherman was in the plot to ab-
duct Mr. Tilden, and for that reason sought to
relieve Hancock and send him west.

lOjcasional Correspondence of the News.l
Brownsville, Texas, July 5, 1SS0.—Your
Galveston people are so absorbed in the Briggs-
Iugersoll muddle, Houston as a seaport, Rob-
erts's commutations, and the problem of how
to enable heavy draught porpoises to cross
your bar, that to you the Illo Grande is only a
kind of line fence away from the vineyard of
political, commercial aud social importance,
and nothing short of Mexico, climbing over
said fence and claiming the Texas Central and
Texas Pacific as the original and ouiy just
boundary line, could move you to stop pray-
ing to congress and the Lord (tw^o extremes)
for dee pwater long enough to get some school
boy to show you "where tho deuce that Rio
Grande is, anyway."
The lower Rio Grande was discovered by
Billy Phillips, Jacky Hamilton and others,
about the latter part of '63 while searching for
a healthier climate than Texas aiforded to
unionists at that time. A little later king cot-
ton took possession of the muddy ditch and in-
augurated the firm of King, Kennedy & Co.,
commercial governors of the dominion. His
majesty K. C. soon abandoned all claim to the
territory and his governors were " counted
out" by the R. G. railroad company which
has ever since shared with the " blue " demo-
crats in proprietary control of the realm. The
4tred"dem.s have often revolted against the
proprietary rule, but they were publiciv guil-
lotined by "the sturdy young headsman %\ ells,
in the Galveston conventon, and the rule of the
R. G. Co. and the B. D.s is perpetuated, unless
the Galveston and Gamargo or the Corpus and
R. G. should leave them nothing to rule.
There is an impressiou among geographers
that this region is a part of the United States.
A grand mistake! It is only to assist (?) us in
protecting its own territory from invasion by
Mexicans that the United States government
quarters upon us such of her raw recruits as
are not needed in the troublesome regions of
Corpus Christi and San Diego. When it has a
gun-boat driven out of its own ports by tho
board of health, the Rio Grande is thought the
best place for it rot; but as to this section be-
ing a part of the United States, Columbus Up-
son has satisfied the American congress that
Corpus Christi is as far south as that govern-
ment has any obligations.
Sometimes the Rio Grande has enough water
in it to float the Great Eastern, and a week
afterward may be navigable only by light
draft bubbles, cattish of moderate burden, and
Texas cattle. The last navigate it transverse-
ly, under Mexican colors, and usually clear the
"Texas shoro without papers. That's the khie
of navigation Mexicans are well worst in.

From Despair to Gladness.
Mr. Giles Carter, a well known citizen of
Rochester, N. Y., has just given the following
card to the public: For about two years my
wife has been troubled with something, and
we could not imagine what; she had frequent
flashes of heat, followed by severe sweats,
both night and day; her back troubled her a
great deal, and any exertion seemed to utterly
prostrate her. She drank large quantities of
water without seeming to quench her thirst in
the least, and kept getting worse and worse all
the time. We employed the services of a phy-
sician, but without Denefit, not even learning
what was the matter with her. Finally, no-
ticing a peculiarity in her urine, I had it ex-
amined, and by boiling, reduced it to molasses,
about half in quantity to the amount of water
used. I at once wrote to her brother, a physi-
cian in the east, who pronounced it " Sugar "
or (Saccharine) Diabetes. He said he knew of
no cure for it, and that she probably could
not get well; that she might live for a few
years, but would get worse and worse all the
time.
At this time, and when we were in despair, I
saw Warner's Safe Diabetes Cure advertised,
purchased a bottle, and my wife has continued
using it until she is now perfectly cured and as
well as she has been in years. I consider War-
ner's Safe Diabetes euro a blessing and boon to
humanity."
Mr. Cobden and tho South.
London. Ju!v 18.—The Loudon correspond-
ent of the Edinburgh Scotchman says: At the
annual dinner of the Cobden club, Saturday
night last, J. W. Garret, president of the Bal-
timore and Ohio railroad, related, hitherto
unpublished, an anecdote of great, interest. He
stated that on the termination of the civil
wai in the United States Mr. Richard Cobden
wrote to him and urged forcibly that the fede-
ral government should adopt a magnanimous
policy towards the southern leaders. The let-
ter was read at a meeting of the American
cabinet, and produced so great an impression
that it turned the scale in favor of clemency.
Agreed To.
London, July 13.—Gladstone's motion to ex-
pedite business in the house of commons was
agreed to.
London, July 13.—The Standard says: Brad-
laugh has taken objection that Mr. Wilmot's
parliamentary disqualification bill against
atheists has been irregularly introduced in the
bouse, as the standing orders require that all
bills relating to religion shall be first consid-
ered in committee of the whole house.
The Times on the Irish Land Bill.
London, July 13.—The Times this morning,
commenting on Mr. Gladstone's amendment
for the compensation for disturbance in Ire-
land bill in the house of commons yesterday,
saj's: It is apparent that these strange and
sudden modifications of the bill recommended
to parliament ou the ground of urgency will
not tend to impress either house with the con-
viction of what the measures are which must
be passed instantly and at any cost or risk to
the public and parliament; and more espe-
cially the house of lords will conclude that the
ministers themselves can not be very sure of
their footing when they offer three different
proposals within a week. The attorney-gen-
eral's proposal has been thrown overboard as
unexpectedly as it was produced. Mr. Glad-
stone's amendment, which will be substituted
for it, takes away the means w*:ich it provided
for tho landlords to protect tuemselves from
penal consequences of the bill, and leaves
everything to be determined by the county
court judge. The element of uncertainty thus
becomes as formidable as it was in the original
bill.
A Movement by the French ComnsHiie.
Paris, July 13.—Regarding the scheme
drawn up by the commune of the Paris mu-
nicipality, by which the municipality would
become entirely independent of the govern-
ment of France, Dr. Thuile, who has just been
superseded in the presidency of the municipal
council, declared that the scheme would be the
dismemberment of France, and, though he ad-
vocates extending municipal liberties, he only
does, so on condition that national uuity shall
not be tampered with. The scheme has not
vet been discussed by the municipality, and
even if ratified it would never be sanctioned
by ihe chambers, it being a revival of all the
demands of the commune.
Wholesale Clemency.
London, July 13.—A Paris correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph says: President Grevy,
by decrees,"dated July 6, granted pardons and
commutations of sentences to more than 1300
common law criminals, undergoing punish-
ment in the home and colonial penal estab-
lishments. The 5lot d'Ordre says the minister
of marine has ordered a large transport ship
to be immediately prepared to bring 314 am-
nestied communists from New Caledonia.
About 4-SO communists, liviiig in different
parts of Europe, will be entitled to return.

London, July 13.—A Constantinople dis-
patch says: It is understood that count Hutz-
feldt, German embassador, will communicate
the decision of the Berlin conference to the
porte on Tuesday.
Postponement of Collective Vote lor

London, J uly 13.—A Router's telegram from
Rome says news has been received there from
Constantinople that, as several ambassadors
have asked their respective governments for
more precise instructions, the presentation of
a collective vote to the porte has been post-
poned.
Alarsiiing Conditions in Turkey.
London, July 13.—A Pera dispatch says:
In connection with the fall of Osmau Pasha,
late Turkish minister of war. 2000 soldiers at
Tichitaldja,whose time of service had expired,
clamorod to be disbanded and throw their
arms down amid a great uproar. They started
for Pera, intending to demand their arrears of
pay, but were met by a strong force and con-
ducted to the barracks, where they are now
confined. This occurrence, together with other
disquieting matters, having reached the ear of
the sultan, it is Inilieved induced him to dis-
miss Osman Pasha,
Arab Attack on an S^n^lish Ship.
Constantinople, July 13.—News has been
received here, that the English ship Kahlifat,
belonging to the Euphrates line, has been at-
tacked by Arabs. The latter maintained a
fusilade for an hour, but did not succeed in
boarding. The steamer's quartermaster and
one passenger were killed, and the captain was
wounded. Tho Turkish authorities at Bagdad
have promised to investigate tho outrage,
which was totallj' unprovoked.
Sinssia Likely to Forbid Wheat Ex-
ports.
London, July 13.—A St. Petersburg dis-
patch to the Daily News says: As a conse-
quence of the defective harvest prospects, the
question is discussed of forbidding the export
of wheat partially, if reports of a deficiency
are confirmed in south Russia; and generally,
if the deficiency extends to other parts of the
country.
* An Important Customer.
London, July 13.—The Manchester GutrdBan
says the prohibition of the export of grain
from Russia will be a serious matter for Ger-
many, where the rice crops are especially poor.
Under the circumstances, it seems likely that
Germany this year will, notwithstanding the
grain duties, be an important customer for
American surplus grain.
l&iiic Matches.
Wimbledom, July 12.—Arrangements for
the Anglo-American rifle match are rather in
abeyance, as the British rifle association still
hope that the American association will send a
challenge. A match between the teams of sir
Henry Halford and Frauk Hyde is certain,
whether anything is heard from the American
team ^r not.
Speck of War in Africa.
London, July 13.—The Pall Mall Gazette, in
its leading article to-day, says: South Africa
is threatened with another native war, the
consequence of the unjustifiable disarmament
of the Bosotos, which measure is attributable
to sir Bartle Frero's influence. A way should
l>e found to Jippeal the question from the Cape
parliament to the queen, but all steps wiil be
useless which do not include sir Bartle Frere's
recall, as he has evidently failed in his special
task of the South African confederation, and
there can be no good reason why he should be
left to the limits of the South African Acel-
doma.
Germans and the Vatican.
London, July 13.—A correspondent of the
Standard at Rome says: Mr. Jocbonis, papal
nuncio, has written from Vienna saying that
he does not see his way clear to prosecute ne-
gotiations with Germany unless he is allowed
full powers. He says he does not consider his
recent instructions calculated to attain the de-
sired end. A correspondent says he believes it
is being considered whether tho proposition of
the nuncio wiil be accepted or the negotiations
confided to other hands.
A Professor Burned Out.
Berlin, July 13.—The vilia of Theodore
Mommsen, the distinguished German profes-
sor and autiquarian, at Charlottenburg, a
suburb of Berlin, has been burned down.
Prof. Mommsen was severely injured, and a
very valuable collection of scientific and his-
torical works, etc., collected with great
trouble and expense from all over tho world,
was destro5'ed. The loss is irreparable.

lively times among cotton men.
Houston, July 13.—As tho city clock rang
out twelve to-day a crowd of some twenty-five
or thirty gentlemen, representive members
of the cotton exchange, sat grouped together
iu the main room of that organization, medi-
tatively gazing upon a couple of colored indi-
viduals who were occupied with the fingering
of glasses, ice and a number of suspicious-
looking bottles. After a generous draft upon
the bottles, Mr. G. W. Kidd mounted a chair
and proceeded to play auctioneer, the object
for sale being the Hausmann first bale of cot-
ton for the crop of 1680. Mr. Kidd
prefaced the real work by a few
brief remarks, in which ho touched upon
the good fortune o? Houston is eclipsing Gal-
veston on this point: on the advantages she
naturallv possesses for transportation, otc.,
and on the fact that she will land the first bale
of the whole country in New York eighty a
hours before that of her competitor. On tiiis
he congratulated Mr. House and the exchange.
His remarks were good natured, yet bore on
their face the evidence of an earnest spirit.
After concluding his little address he an-
nounced the bale to be for sale and called for a
bid. J. H. Blake &, Co. offered $75, but before
the words were cold Coi. A. L. Steele went $50
better, and this was sharply followed by an
offer of $125 from A. H. Lea, president of tho
cotton exchange; $140 and $150followed in suc-
cession, and then Mr. G. L. Porter jumped $15
higher, and W. D. Cleveland went to #175.
The convention expressed its approval of this
nomination by a goodly round of applause,
which was also given when Porter ran to $1S0.
Bidding for place between tho two was made
by five dollar spurts until Steele made it $li»5.
Porter now offered $200 and Cleveland went
$25 better. More applause and champagne
came in here, and a short rest was taken.
Blake, Porter, Steele and Cleveland made mat-
ters lively until $250 was reached. It now was
apparent that between these four a friendly
fight was on foot, and that whoever won
would pay for the winning; but when judge
Crosby, who. had been j taking no very ac-
tive part in the matter, here pounced in
with a fifty dollar raise, it was a signal for
more cheering and, of course, more
ice. The auctioneer declared silence to be
golden, and so held his breath a moment, until
Mr. Cleveland made the bid of $1505. Silence
indeed proved to be golden after this, for de-
spite a liberal dispensation of ice among the
contestants, no higher offer was obtained, and
Mr. W. D. Cleveland was declared the buyer
of the bale. It was shipped last night to
Messrs. Latham, Alexauder & Co., No. IS
Wall street, New York, by express, and will,
it is said, reach them eighteen hours iu ad-
vance of the shipment from your city. The
net proceeds for Mrs. Hausmann from this
shipment amount to $555.
the van alstyne case.
Mr. W. P. Haniblin having concluded his
argument en behalf of plaintiffs in the action
of Shirley and wife vs. Van Alstyne et at.,
judge Masterson this morning delivered an
elaborate opinion, the main points of which
are, under our supreme court decisions, a re-
ceiver may be appointed to take charge of an
estate when the executor or administrator is
wasting or mismanaging the estate, or is guilty
of fraad.
If plaintiffs' construction of Van Alstyne''s
wiil be correct, then the partition of the pro-
perty is void, and, therefore, except as to its
rents, etc., no injury can result to plaintiffs,
and they seem to nave ample property derived
from the estate of Van Alstyne to indemnify
them for that.
Upon the hearing of the merits plaintiffs
will be entitled to a full statement of all the
revenues from all sources, and a showing by
proper vouchors what debts have been paid.
The question of effect of receipt when a
legatee receives only a part of what is justly
coming to him is not an open question in this
state; it is only good for the amount received.
Judgment, therefore, is that the prayer of
plaintiffs for the appointment of a receiver is
denied; injunction is granted restraining Mrs.
Van Alstyne, as executrix, from disposing of
the undivided property in her hands; defend-
ants Jones are also enjoinedffrom selling or en-
cumbering the property bought by them unless
they, in five d '.ys, pay into court the amount of
their note, $0000, held by plaintiffs within five
days. The case stands for trial on its merits,
and Mi*s. Van Alstyne is required to make a
full showing of all revenues received by her
from all sources since her qualification as ex-
ecutrix under the wiil of W. A. Van Alstyne,
and also to make statement of a 11 indebted-
ness discharged by her."
The estate is valued in round numbers at
about $*225,000, of which about $175,000 have
already been distributed. The case gives
promise of bein^ a lon£, tedious and bitterly
contested one. While both sides consider the
decision to-day as a victory, outsiders view it
generelly as a '• dog fall." "

continued remaining in the hands of a select
few had become decidedly threadbare. The

have made a Bedlamite blush. Finally, atter
a day's wrangling it was agreed to relegate to
the various precincts the selection of the cen-

Steamboat Collision.
Sornia. Canada, July 13.—Yesterday the
steamer City St. Catherines collided with the
American! steam barge Geo. A Marsh, off
White Rock point, twenty-two miles from the
city. The St. Catherines was struck near the
bow, and went to the bottom in fifteen min-
utes. She had a large cargo of general mer-
chandise and five horses, bound for Chicago,
ail of which were lost. The crew and passen-
gers, numbering fifty, were saved and brought
here last night by the tug David Rust, which
was fortunately close by at the time of the
collision, with two schooners in tow. The
upper works of the St. Catherines fioated away
from the hull, and passengers' effects wera
taken otf the former by a boat from the Rust.
The Marsh was so badly damaged that she had
to be towed back to Port Huron by the Rust,
and is there awaiting: tc be docked, it is
stated that the whistle signals were not given
in sufficient time, and gross carelessness in
that quarter is argued. The St. Catherines
was owned by ilr.;St. John, of St. Catherines,
and was insured.
Murder aud Suicide.
Columbus, O., July 13.—At noon to-day S.
S. Rickley, president of the Capital City bank,
was shot through the forehead while standing
at his desk, by Andrew Echenburg, a German
dyer. Echenburg was on the street, and as
soon as he shot Mr. Rickley he placed the re-
volver at his owa temple and shoe himself, dy-
ing almost instantly. Mr. Rickley may live,
but the chances are against him. The trouble
grew out of Mr. Rickley's refusal to loan Ech-
enburg money.
Death ot General Hancock's Grandson.
New York, July 13.—General Hancock's
grandson, named after himself, died uhis morn-
ing from cholera infantum. This has de-
pressed the general, and the committee's visit
to tender the nomination is, of consequence,
purely formal.
Mr. English reaehed Governor's island at
noon, and was heartily greeted by Gen. Han-
cock on the veranda of his residence. The
committee left the New York hotel in a body
with members of the national committee and
, other visitors.

Belton Journal: Col. G re sham and Capt.Tem-
ple, of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad, have been in the city sev-
eral days. Yesterday Capt. Temple, the chief
engineer of the road, went with several citizens
to inspect the hill near Mr. Ed. T. Reed's place,
in order to finally determine if that was a
practical route. Altogether, the prospects are
quite flattering for the early completion of the
road to Belton Mr. G." K. Meriwether in-
forms us that while in Calvert just before com-
ing here it was talked on the streets that the
Central railroad would commence the construc-
tion of a road from that point t® Belton with-
in the next sixty days, it being the intention of
the builders to push it through with all possi-
ble speed.. .Mr. C. A. Teters returned from the
railroad camps this week. He informs us that
Hurley Bros, had completed the grading to the
knobs, and had gone down the line to finish up
some pieces of work.
Meridian Blade: A corps of engineers,
headed by Mr. Banks, is now engaged in lo-
cating a branch of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe road from Bell county to Cleburne,
in Johnson county. This survey passes
through the western part of McLennan coun-
tv, near Comanche springs, a fine section of
the state, and crosses the Bosque river six
miles below the town of Clifton. Thence it
passes up the Bosque valley some eight miles;
thence up the Archibald branch to the Bald
knob; thence along the heads of Cedron creek
to the head of Leggit branch; thence down the
same, crossing Steel's creek and the tract of
the Texas Central railroad, two and a half
miles east of the town of Morgan: thence north
to the Brazos river, about two miles below
Kimball, and thence up Nolan's river to Cle-
burne. We can but congratulate the company
upon its good fortune in securing this route, by
which it will cut off half of this county from
the Central, and also take an immense amount
of trade from Waco.
