ought to have been prepared for

main people fro?
WashTgton and Austin coun
ties-will attend mardi gras at
Galveston. Some of the papers
published away off about sun-
set arc saying that the money
spjut at this social gathering
might be more judiciously ap-
'propriated. Perhaps it might
and by the same token the
money that is spent for a new
coat miirht be applied to some
other purpose and the old one
continue to be worn with the
amendment of a new patch.
Some people know exactly how
others should spend their sur-
plus stamps. We offer no sug-
gestions ot that sort. We want
people to spend their money
where thev think it will do the"
most good. A trip to inardi

able to go the expense of a

"We arc informed bv Mr
Shearer who had jut returned
from Galveston where he had
been disposing ofbw. cotton
crop ot la-t ye:ff?at from
fifty-six aeres of bottom land
fifteen of which licjhad drained
the water from fCTRiving been
a pond he sold fiitv-two bales
of cotton tor 12 crs. Specie. Ten
years ago he purchased the land
for a small sum it not being
considered very valuable on ac-
count of so much water on the
greater portiou of it; but the
resirlvg-show that a little elbow-
grease 'will produce wonders.
The fifteen acres of recovered
land average from a bale to a
bale an 1 a-half to the acre.
The land lies near the coiner of
Lee and liurlesnn counties on
the 'Yegua. Sunday last we
listened to one of the most earn-
est and scholarly sermons that
.it has been our good fortune to
hear in Texas delivered at
Travis by Rev.- -Dr. Miller
"President of Soule University
Chappell Hill. His ma jnerot de-
livery is agreeable and pleasant.
We trust we will hear him again.
Wc learn that 'Mrs. Manly
whose recovery was at one time
doubtful is now convalescing
and her early restoration to
health almost assured.
Fanners are busy plowing and
some will commence planting
corn next week.

Tlie weather for the past week
has been all that heart could
wish and the thrifty firmer has
taken advantage ot it and is
breaking up and embedding the
soil preparatory to planting an-
other crop.
Gardeners are also busily en-
gaged planting garden truck.
There is a great deal of talk of
grasshoppers ; some anticipate
the destruction ot the coming
crop by them.
!No local news of interest.
Some are agitating their
minds on the ''local option law.'
Would like to know how local
option was carried in Travis.

opposing counsel held that The
ienublieati electors had voted
legally and that no earthly tri-
bunal had po.ver to invalidate
their acts lie took issue with
them. Ths proposition that the
power to count votes is vested
in the President is palpibly ab-
surd; he is precluded by the
constitution ; he has no right to
open the votes until the " two
houses meet in joint session ; his
p-iwei" is simply clerical ; the
duty of the .President ends with
opening the certificates ; the
counting devolves upon that
body which is required to act on
the re-uilt. He concluded by
saying that the Tilden electors
had the best legal right to be
recognized that they had the
moral right is the common eon-
sent ot all mankind and would
be of posterity. Nohoncst man
capable of blushing couid look
another in Hie face and assert
that the Hayes electors in Plor-
ida were elected. The Commis-
sion should receive evidence.

ing Committee protest is to be

will be spent in consultation.
