DRURY LACY, Editor.
FORT WORTH. TEXAS, APRIL 19. 1878.
Mr. James Byrd, from Texarkana,
shot himself in the temple, acciden-
tally, on Sunday last, in Marshall—
so says a friend who was traveling
with him. Byrd will not give the
particulars. The wound is reported
to be painful, but not dangerous.
On the 15th of February last, Mr.
John E. Griffin, a very respectable
young man, employed by the ex-
press company, stated that he was
knocked down and robbed at the
depot in Paris, Texas, of $10,000.
The grand jury of Lamar county
has found true bills against John R.
and his brother Maurice Griffin, for
embezzlement.
It is stated positively that a revo-
lution is now brewing in the border
Mexican states, and that Colonel
Pedro Yaldiz is expected to take
the initiative. As the Diaz govern-
ment has been recognized at last by
the United States, it is about time a
new government was formed. To
use the language of an old friend,
let Yaldiz take the “ eneative,” the
present government is getting rather
“ mo-no-to-nus.”
A deputy marshal informs a spe-
cial reporter to the News, in Mar-
shall, that he had just returned from
a search for the train robbers, and
that he “ is on the scent of four of
them who crossed the Texas and Pa-
cific railroad going northward, just
west of the Sabine river.” He must
snuff the battle from afar, the dis-
tance being nearly one hundred
miles.
The mail rider from Fort Concho
to Davis was recently attacked by
eleven Indians; he made his escape,
but lost his mail and horse. A man
with him was killed and horse cap-
tured. Cavalry has been ordered
out from Fort Stockton to destroy
the Indians. Four Indians on foot
near Fort Davis run off thirteen
mules) Lieutenant Geddes with ten
men are on their trail. The Indians
are from the reservation in New
Mexico.
The financial agent of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railroad
states in the Galveston News that
the report that he had gone to New
York to negotiate the bonds of the
company is premature. He does
not propose to issue bonds based
upon promises to pay, and that it
will be necessary for the subscrip-
tions to be paid up before the bonds
will be issued, That looks like
business.
A special of the 16th from Aus-
tin to the News, reports the death
of Miss Minnie Greundlers an ac-
complished musician. It also gave
a number of the decisions of the
supreme court. The following may
prove of interest to some of our
readers:
Tarrant county vs James, sheriff
from Tarrant, reversed and reman-
ded-
Andrews vs Ward, from Tarrant,
dismissed for Want of prosecution.
There are forty millions of people in the
United States* If each one economizes
but ten dollars—saves that amount in food
or clothing or travel or luxury—the sum
of that economy is a withdrawal of $400,-
000,000 from the circulation of the coun-
try, and, worse than that, a subtraction of
$400,000,000 from the necessity of produc-
tion. In other words, it is a paralytic
stroke. It this is done several times, we
have a succession of paralytic strokes, and
this is probably the secret of hard times.
The above paragraph from the
Philadelphia Press is very sensible,
so far as it applies to those who have
money to spend in fine clothes,
travel and luxuries. It has no sig-
nificance to the’great mass, who are
struggling for a bare support. Econ-
omy with the poor is a cardinal vir-
tue which should be systematically
practiced j while a liberal expendi-
ture of money in building elegant
residences and purchasing fine car-
riages, and all other things essential
to life, is commendable in the rich.
Economy with the latter is selfish
and niggardly* They should enjoy
their wealth and give employment
to labor* The poor, laboring classes
are already paralysed by the hard
times, and it devolves upon the cap- i
italists of the country to come to I
their relief, and thus arrest another j
paralytic stroke.
THE BARGAIN.
Senator Conkling gave his views
in full to the reporter of the New
York Tribune, an abstract of which
was published in our issue of yes-
terday. Without entering into the
merits of the case, and admitting that
all the statements of Mr. Conkling
are true, they only prove that re-
sistance to the usurpation being
abandoned, and the decision of the
matter being left to the electoral
commission, which by eight to seven
voted to sustain it, nothing was left
to South Carolina and Louisiana but
to make the best terms with the
usurper. The southern members
then agreed, upon the assumption
that there was a bargain, to stop
filiibustenng and allow the count to
proceed, provided an assurance was
given that the Nicholls and Hampton
governments should stand, which
would be accomplished by merely
withdrawing the federal troops. In
addition to this, it was the fixed
and determined purpose of these
states to resist to the bitter end, the
establishment of the Packard and
Chamberlain governments. This
•would have compelled federal in-
tervention and would have resulted
in civil war. We have always com-
mended the bargain, if there was
one, and still think that the south-
ern men who brought Hayes to
terms deserve the thanks and the
gratitude of the country. It was
good policy, sound discretion and
admirable diplomacy. We are sorry
that the pure and upright Conkling
is shocked at it, but it can’t be help-
ed.
A resolution passed by the Louis-
iana legislature, to the effect that
there would be no prosecutions for
political offenses, has been consid-
ered a part and parcel of the same
bargain. It is claimed that this
resolution was intended to include
all crimes committed in the interest
of the republican party. The pro-
secution of the members of the re-
turning board was denounced as an
act of bad faith by the radicals wbo
are now so horrified at the idea of a
bargain. The decision of the su-
preme court releasing Anderson,
thus stopping the trials, has relieved
Governor Nicholls from the dis-
agreeable duty of granting Ander-
son a pardon, if he felt under any
obligation, by virtue of the resolu-
tion, to do so.
A REBUKE.
The Hon. A. H. Stephens, the idol
of Georgia, who by the force of his
character and his comprehensive and
conservative views, has influenced
the federal legislation of the state,
has presumed to act the part of dic-
tator. Through the columns of the
Washington Post and correspon-
dence through Georgia papers, he
has urged the re-election of the pres-
ent Georgia delegation to congress.
The Enquirer-Sun administers a re-
buke to the great invalid statesman,
and firmly but courteously suggests
that Mr. Stephens ‘‘might attend to
the business of his own district, and
permit others to attend to theirs.”
While we do not question the
right of Mr. Stephens, or other
democrats, to express his or their
opinions upon men or measures,
still wo concur with the editor in
the suggestion that the voters in
each district are the proper persons
to decide upon the value of the ser-
vices rendered by a representative.
We hope that the day is far distant
when the people will consent to
yield their judgments to the dicta of
any party leader, it matters not how
worthy. The time has passed for
servile hero worship; for every man
has his infirmities and is liable to
commit blunders. Let the people
in their primary meetings discuss
the relative merits of candidates and
decide for themselves.
Well, well, we have been expect-
ing it, and now it has come. We
learn from private sources that Pro-
fessor Darwin is desirous of re-
monkeytizing man. Horrible tail.
A man with four little children,
on their way from West Illinois to
Henry county, got off the train at
Greensboro, last Friday, and started
on foot to his old home, coming
back satisfied that there is no place
like Alabama.
Mr. Billie Tiller, who resides in
Oglethorpe county, is nearly ninety
years old, but is to-day a hale and
hearty man. He recently visited
Crawford to sell his cotton crop,
and drove an old horso that has
done him service for twenty odd
yeai’s.

YJENKINS’ ANN1HILAT0R 8
The Great Southern Remedy for
Rheumatism, Cout and Neuralgia.
Those terrible enemies of human hap-
piness, Rheumatism, Gout, and Neuralgia,
heretofore seemingly unconquerable, have
indeed found their master in Jenkins’ Amn-
hilator. We have the testimony of men of
the highest standing in Louisiana and other
states,” that after suffering indescribable
pains, for years, from w hich they sought re-
lief in vain by visiting the Hot and Warm
springs of Arkansas and Virginia, and by
using dozens of remedies more or less high-
ly praised, when, in fact hope had almost
died out, they have found relief from pain
by the use of the Annihilator, and by con-
tinuing it for a short time, have been per-
fectly cured. The Annihilator is a prepara-
tion purely vegetable, agreeable to the Vast-
and may be taken.without fear of any ine
jurious results by the delicate as well as th
robust in constitution.
