The treasury department has
reason to suspect that Cuban
and Demarra sugars are being
brought to this country, via the
Pacific, and bonded as sugar com-
ing from the Sandwich Islands,
which, according with tho treaty
with that country, are entered free
of duty. Tho matter will be fully
investigated by special agents of
the treasury department.

The Waco Examiner calls the
Republican victory in Maine a
“ sudden disaster.” We suppose
wheu the news comes of a Repub-
lican triumph in Iowa it will bo
proclaimed as an “ unexpected de-
feat.” Let tho Examiner counsel
a policy to strengthen the Demo-
cratic party in Texas, and not turn
pale at a Republican victory in a
state that has been Republican for
twenty years.
The Brazos Valley Guide has
been purchased by Tommie Clark.
Tommie commenced his journalis-
tic career as d—1 in tho Democrat
office, and has imbibed some of
the active principles that have
made tho Democrat a success,
hence, we look to see tho Guide
prosper under his management,
and trust it may do so. He has
many of the characteristics that
belong to a journalist—honesty,
energy, enterprise and intelligence.
In another column we print tho
particulars of a revolting crime
perpetrated in Pennsylvania. It
is altogether a matter of taste,
but we would greatly prefer being
charged with such crimes as the
killing of Dixon in Yazoo, the un-
ceremonious taking off of Alexan-
der Brice of Walhalla. Aye ! we’d
a thousand times rather live in the
land of “ barbarians ” who openly
meet their enemy, and his quietus
make with a shot-gun than in a
“ civilized”(?) community where
fourteen men shamefully cause the
death of a defenceless, innocent
girl. But it’s all a matter of taste.
“ Curses, like chickens, come
home to roost.” The former are
now roosting in some of the West-
ern states. It has long been the
practice of Western journals to
traduce everything that was
Southern. Southern states which
endeavored to regulate their pub-
lic indebtedness—a legacy left
them by the Northern carpet-bag-
ger—were written down by North-
ern journals as “ repudiators.”
And now the brokers and bankers
of the East, from whom Chicago
and other Northern cities borrow-
ed their money, are making unkind
remarks about “ Western credit,”
and what a howl is there, my coun-
trymen. They call it persecution
and other hard names, when it is
only cold, solid truth.
Among those who predict a still
easier money market are Messrs.
Piske & Hatch, of New York, who,
Ui a new brochure on government
bonds, assert that, notwithstand-
ing the recent apparent stringency
in the market and the temporary
demand for funds to move the
crops, money will be plentiful for
years to come and that 4 per cent,
or less will be the rate of interest
upon conservative investments.
Investors, they think, should not
be blindod to the fact that we are
now the creditor nation of the
world; that but a comparatively
small amount of our bonds is held
abroad ; that tho enormous bal-
ance of trade in our favor is being
liquidated in gold, and that the
production of our mines since the
resumption of specie payments
add directly to the circulating me-
dium.

WHAT OF IT ?
Vice-President Wheeler was
permanent president of the Re-
publican convention of New York
a few days since. In taking his
seat, as is usual in such cases, he
made a speech. The following is
an extract from his remarks:
A half million of the defenders oi that
sovereignty were sleeping in soldiers’
graves. The blood oi hundreds of battle-
fields, the emblemsof mourning, the tears
in a million of sacrificial homes, the be-
reit, the desolate, the helpless, the scarred
and the wasted, encountered on every
hand, attested tho costliness of the sacri-
fices which had been made lor the nation-
al life. We then confidently believed that,
by an immutable law of the Supreme Ru-
ler, such sacrifices had not been made in
vain ; that the nation’s blood, the nation’s
tears and the nation’s treasures had found
compensation in the destruction of tho
germ of the fatal heresy of secession.
Well then, what of it ? No one
denies that secession is dead and
the “germ of the fatal heresy is
destroyed.” None but a block-
head would have raised such an
issue at sudh a time. It enters no
more into the issues before tho
people to-day, than does the causes
that led to tho revolution that
gave America its liberties. No
one knows this better than Wil-
liam Ammon Wheeler. But there
was a purpose in making the
speech. It was to distract the at-
tention of the people from the
live issue that has been presented,
since that which involved the
sovereignty of the states, the
right of secession, was settled by
the arbitrament of arms. Having
established that this is not a con-
federation of states, but a nation,
tho next step is to make it not a
confederated representative gov-
ernment, but a centralized govern-
ment. Every movement of tho
Republican party since the war
has been to this end—and the
bloody shirt has been waved, the
old wounds kept bleeding, the
mouldering bones kept rattling to
distract attention from this pur-
pose, to influence the minds of the
Northern people that the task
might bo the easier accomplished.
That is all there is in the piece re-
cited by the fraudulent vice presi-
dent.
STATE NEWS..
Eleven bell punches have been
ordered for Kendall county.
An Atascosa county man lias
bought up 25,000 acres for pastur-
age in that county.
During the year eight school
houses have been built in Bosque
county at a cost of $1900 alto-
gether.
Some idea of the drouth, even
in Central Texas, may be had from
tho fact that Bryan has just had
its first good rain since May.
Some one who was the happy
possessor of plenty of time, a
pencil and a slate, has figured out
that there is land enough in the
state of Texas to provide every
man, woman and child in the Uni-
ted States four acres of land each.
Three bales of cotton were re-
ceived in Waco from Ross station
on the extension of the Central;
this is the first shipment over the
road. Aquilla, a new station 20
miles beyond Waco, has been laid
off in lots. The work on the
bridge across the Brazos is pro-
gressing and will bo completed by
October 10th. Grading is finished
to Steel’s creek in Bosque county.
—Another shining light of Bos-
ton has been suppressed. He was
treasurer of a home missionary
society, and be unfortunately put
$8,000 into his own pocket that
should have gone into the treasury
of the society. It is strange that
these very good people will so
often go or be led astray.
AN AWFUL.CRIME.
A Young_.GirU;Set:Upon By A
Crowd ol Ruffians and
Outraged to Death.
;Ne\v York Herald.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 7, 1879.
—An almost incredible story of
moral turpitude has been disclosed
in connection with the Dimrnock
camp meeting in Susquehanna
county, which closed its session
during the past week, a knowledge
of which first came to light last
Tuesday evening at the deathbed
of a Miss Waterman, who resided
with her parents near Montrose.
The deceased was aged about nine-
teen, the daughter of a reputable
family, very beautiful and well
educated, and much respected in
the better circles of society.
DETAILS OF THE CRIME.
The story of tho awful crime
which resulted in her death is
briefly told as follows :—Miss
Waterman, in company with a sis-
ter, went to camp meeting on Sat-
urday, both intending to remain
over Sunday with friends on the
ground. On Saturday evening the
sister of the diseased accepted an
invitation from a young man of the
neighborhood to take a short car-
riage drive. They drove toward
the abode of the Watermans, the
young lady placing confidence in
the assurance of her escort that
her sister intended returning that
evening with a friend. Upon ar-
riving at her home she alighted
and remained there. The sequel
affords strong circumstantial evi-
dence that it was a deliberately
concocted*plan to separate the sis-
ters. Bo this as it may, nothing
was seen of tho Miss Waterman
who remained on the ground until
late on Sunday night, when a car-
riage halted in front of her parents’
residence, and her prostrate form
was carried by two disguised per-
sons from the vehicle into the
house, the front door yielding
easily to the manipulations of one
of the unknown men. The uncon-
scious girl was laid upon the floor
and the men hastily departed be-
fore the inmates of the house could
intercept them. When the parents
came to where.their daughter lay
they found her a raving maniac,
and from her occasional remarks
and the appearance of her clothing
and hair they suspected what was
but too well verified since by medi-
cal examination, that her condition
was owing to oft-repeated 'out-
rages inflicted upon her. She
lingered along until Tuesday even-
ing, when she expired. At no time
was she wholly conscious as to her
surroundings, but from her inco-
herent speech it is believed that
Miss Waterman was deceived by
false representations to take a
walk with a young man with whom
she had a neighborly acquaintance
and when in a secluded spot pre-
viously agree upon she was set
upon by a number of young men
and the diabolical crime consum-
mated.
THE PERPETRATORS.
It is stated that no less than
fourteen infamous scoundrels were
engaged in this dastardly act and
several of them have already fled.
One is known to have forged his
grandfather’s name to a note to
raise money to get out of the
country, and another to have pil-
fered his father’s pocketbook
while tho parent was asleep.
A coroner’s inquest was held
and the jury returned a verdict of
death by prostration. Warrants
have been issued for tbo appre-
hension of the suspected, but at this
writing no arrests have been re-
ported.
Look Out for tho Solstitial Cy-
clone.
Waco Examiner.
The present summei has been
unparallelled in the number and
severity of its storms. One lias
followed so closely upon the trail
of another that it would seem as
if one continuous storm had been
shifting and sweeping over this
country. Fortunately Southern
Texas has so far escaped, though
only by a hair’s breadth, in the
terrrible tornado which so lately
struck Louisiana so fearfully. But
it is not too late yet. The pertur-
bations of summer are nothing to
the convulsions of nature as the
sun approaches the line, and the
unusual destructive efforts of the
storm king during the summer
render it probable that some still
mightier storm may mark his abdi-
cation. A fearful cyclone, worse
even than that of September, 1875,
bugs the edge of probability so
closely that we may reasonably
cherish some alarm until the sun
be quietly laid away in bis south-
ern bed.
A Missing Editor.

On the 31st of July, D. S. Ogle,
(editor of the Barnett Bulletin),
left our town to be absent five or
six days. We have failed to bear
one word from him and great un-
easiness prevails among bis friends
concerning bis welfare. The gen-
eral idea prevails that he has been
foully dealt with. Any information
will be greatfully received. Ex-
changes please publish.

a thorough exposition of the true

The Rival Claimants for the
Honor of Its Discovery.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9.—There is
likely to be a split in the ranks of
those who are claiming the discov-
ery of of anaesthesia for Dr. Craw-
ford Long. In the story which
gives the credit to Dr. Long, it will
be remembered, there is a young
fellow named Wilhite, who, in a
frolic, slapped a handkerchief satu-
rated with ether over the mouth of
a negro boy, who became uncon-
scious under it, and though beaten
and shaken failed to show any
sense of pain. At last the effects
passed off and he became con
scious. A few years afterwards
Wilhite went to study medicine
under Long. He persuaded the
doctor to give him and tho boys
ether. The doctor did so, and
once took some himself. Being
struck with the deep physical
numbness that held him while
under its influence, Dr. Long be-
gan to discuss the possibility of
using it with patients under the
knife. Wilhite at last related all
the experiments made with the
negro boy and urged Dr. Long to
try an operation with a man under
its influence. At length Dr. Long
consented. Young Wilhite was
equally interested with Loug, and
assisted in the experiment, which
was made in taking a tumor from
one Mr. Knoble. Wilhite is now
a physician with an immense prac-
tice in Anderson, S. C.—a model
gentleman. He is modest himself
and will not urge his claims, but
bis friends intend to push them.
They ivill try to see that he shares
with Dr. Loug the honor of tho dis-
covery, and if an application is
made by Dr. Long’s friends for re-
cognition at the bauds of congress
they will claim part of that recog-
nition for Dr. Wilhite. It was
through Dr. Wilhite’s statements
to Dr. Marion Lewis that the dis-
covery was first credited to Dr.
Long. It is possible that Dr. Wil-
hite will himself stop the proceed-
ings in his behalf.
It Sometimes Happens That
Way.
Independent Blade.
Governor Throckmorton inti-
mates pretty plainly that if ho
were governor of Texas, like the
present executive, he would bo
willing to let the public free schools
go to tho d—1. Owing to the fail-
ure of 'one of the tally sheets in
tho last state convention to foot
up a sufficient number of votes, be
is not, however, governor, and bis
opinion or policy amounts to little
more than that of many other good
citizens.
—In spite of the fact that tho
postal money-order system is
used chiefly by persons of moder-
ate means, over $750,000 in those
orders remain unclaimed. Tho
American people are becoming re-
markably careless or money is not
so scarce as is generally supposed.
Some idea of tho value of this
service, however, may be gained
from the fact that about $90,000,-
000 changed hands last year
through the money-order depart-
ment.
—The stock of gold in the Uni-
ted States treasury is increasing
so rapidly that the silver vaults
will soon have to be encroached
upon to find room for it. And yet
we were told that tho gold would
all go to Europe if wo coined the
silver dollar.
