t Wjare glad to learn from the
Belton Journal that Brady and
Hamman made no converts at
Belfoiv iut on the contrary
their speeches had a tendency
to add strength to the demo--
cratic party. Hon. Roger Q.
Mills has since made a speech
at( that town giving wholesome
democratic advice and 1 adding
strength to the cause. Bell
couotyhas always been a sound
democratic one.
A special to the Chicago Tri-
bune of the twenty-ninth ultimo
from Topeka Kan. says: "Gov.
St. John to-dayf on the request
of the county attorney of La-
bejtte county issued a requisi-
tion for the Bender family. It
is not known on what state the
requisition is made but the
governor declares his belief that
no mistake lias been made this
time .and. that the Benders have
realty been found.
The Philadelphia Times one
of the strictly independent pa-
pers of the country makes the
pointthaf'when carpet-bag rule
was supreme in the south six
years ago and sectional hate
abounding in the north the
south produced 3800000 bales
o cotton. The cotton crop of
the' last yearwhen there were
no sectional and profligate state
governments to burden indus-
try was 5800000 bales and
the present crorris estimated at
6000000. Let business have
peace."
At Hempstead on Wedrics-
day colonels Mills and Brady
addressed a crowded house.
Brady opened in an hour speech
devoted chiefly to the discus-
sion of democratic misrule
from Coke down. He wants to
abolish the national banks is-
sue greenbacks stamped as
money and pay off the national
debt and put greenbacks in
every man's pockets in the
same manner as Jones. Col.
Mills replied in an able discus-
sion of the financial question
demonstrating that gold and sil-
ver are now and ever have been
the bed rock of a sound finan-
cial condition. Brady is over-
matched by Mills who will be
elected by an increased major-
ty.

Wealth is rushing into the
United States like a .flood.
There has been a strong influx
of gold into our ports from Ea-

as ipayment for our large ship-
ments of meats and provisions
to the old world. And more-
over .the most wonderful sto-
ries arc current about recint
discoveries of quartz containing
-quite a Wealth- of gold at Las
Rascitas near Santa Pe Icw
Mexico and at Cache'topa. near
Gunnison city Colorado. 'Still
more valuable than the gold re-
ceived for goods sent Out to

to represent Washingtori 'coun-
ty in"the lower 'house of ' the
next kgislature fs a 'fria'tter of
much more iinpprtaricc "than
many people seem to suppose.
Eor several years we have t-
tuallybeen witjjjjut representa-
tion having had- two r-colorcd
men in the legislature: itAs has.
been remarked on previous oc-
casions thcinext term of-tiie
legislature will'be a very impor-1
tant' o'nfe a vast abojjnt'bf leg-
islation will he required and it
is to th'ctfnterest of every one
that only the "best and fittest
men be elected- i
We have no cause to com-
plain of a scarcity of candidates
as there is already four1 in the
field and there is said tb be sev-
eral in ambush ready to ' come
from thcirliidingpiaceala mo-
ments warnings Of thtcandi-
date now before the people two
are republicans and two demo-
crats. As might be expected the re
publican candidates arc both
colored men this 'being their
proportion of the offices. We
have no desire to say anything
against cither of the colored
candidates they are both re-
spectable and are gobd citizens
but have neither the education
experience or ability to proper-
ly represent our county and
Burleson county. The demo-t
crats arc running Capt. J- .
Gray for rcprescntativefrom this
county and Mr. Harry Hayncs
is the candidate for floater
to represent Washington and
Burleson counties. Both of these
gentlemen arc old citizens are
well acquainted with the needs
of our county and ourstate-and
are representative men men ol
standing and mflunenceathome
and who will at once take lead-
ing positions in the house of
representatives if elected. If
the colored men are elected
they would be harmless for
good or evil in fact they would
simply fill seats in the house
and cast votes on questions
which it is more than likely they
would not understand. It is
with the people to say whether
Washington and Burleson coun-
ties shall resume their places in
the house of representatives or
whether we will have no repre-
sentation. Jacques OrFtsnAcii the cel-
ebrated operatic composer is

hOUTHEIft COTTON Sl'INMNK.
' Mr. Edwin Atkinson a gen-
tleman of leisure and residing in
Massachusetts and who has a
great reputation in his section
of the country as a commercial
writer lias prepared and pub-
lished an elaborate article to
prove that the cotton states arc
not adapted to cotton spinning.
Mr.4 Atkinson ibeing interested
in perpetuating that industry in
he New England states doubt-
less made the best argument his
side of the question presents.
His article will probable be pro-
ductive of much good as it has
awakened a lively interest in
trie subject The south un-
doubtedly is admirably adopted
to the manufacture df cotton
goods as has been and is being
derilonstrated every day by the
successful operation of cotton
milk in the state of Georgia.
In many sections of Texas there
is unlimited water power Aus-
tin San Antonio and Columbus
each claiming1 superority in this
respcctnVhile there are many
other localities that are equally
as well situated us regards the
mere jtem of water"power. T$x"
as produces annually about one
million bales of the finest cot
ton rajsed in tjie world its
staple being regarded by spin-
ners as being superior to that
raised in the states cast of the
Mississippi river yet with this
Immense product oi cotton
shVlias not Qic cotton factary
worthy oTtliEname; there Is wo
believe a small cotton mill in
operation at Waco but its an-
nual produefas1 compared with
thecrop1 of Ihe state is so incon-
siderably as to amount to noth-
ing". If even one-fourth of the
Tcxa crop was manufactured
into clorhJat home it would af-
ford employment fd many fhou'
sands of hands as well as makp
a market for a large amount of
farhl products that will not bear
transportation tbr distant fiiari
kels.f'The simple item of sav-
fng 'the freight on a quarter of
million bales of 'cotton1 from
Texas td' New England is no
inconsiderable item and in ad-
dition to that the freight on the
cotion ffoods brought to and
consumed in tlje -state is nearly'
as much as on the raw materi-
al. iTheflNew iDrleans Chamber
of Commerce appointed -a com-
mittee composed of level-headed
thinking progressive men
to investigate the subject of cot-
tonspinning; after manure dchb-
eratjqa they submitted the lol-
Iowingj ireport whipfj yv pubr
lished in the New Orleans
Times of theth inst:
;The:committce alter investi-
gation find;
Ehst That the staple of cot-
ton pffered in this market ox jn
Texas will grade 34 per cent
better for strength length or
width than any other cottons
for sheetings shirtings yarns
suitable for t;he warp of home
made cotton cloths.
( Second That the stock of
this cotton on hand in New Or-
leans is sufficient tQ enable the
spinner to supply his wants for
the greater part of the year
without the cost of insurance
and Interest the valuation of
price or the speculation of
futures. B
Third That the average cli-
matic temperature of New Or-
leans is perfectly adapted to the
manufacture of textile goods.
Fourth That the elements
of food clothing and rents
which constitute the cost of op:
erative labor are or may be
furnished on as moderate terms
as in many parts of the United
States.
Fifthr That operative labor
capable of rapid Instruction in
cotton spinning abounds in this
city and can be relied on to
work all the year round.
Sixth That motive power
can be. supplied from coal at
less than the average prices
paid by eastern mills off the J
line of water delivery. And at
rates that will justify the Invest-
ment of capital in milling paper.
Seventh That real estate
convenient to water delivery
of stock and feed abounds in
this city in the midst of an op-
erative population and at mod-
erate prices.
Eighth That the revenue
tax imposed by the United
States upon imported cot-
ton manufactues with the
exemption from state tax-
ation on buildings or machine-
ry employed in the manufacture
of cotton goods tends to en-
courage such investment.
Ninth That our machine
shops with complete and mod-
ern machinery demonstrate the
ability of New Orleans to re-
pair any part of a cotton mill
while the facilities of intercour-
se with the North will enable the
cotton spinner to renew or re-
place any disabled part of his
machinery without interruption
of its operations.
Tenth That the reduction of
tonnage employed in the ex-
portation of our cotton will be
reduced by the compression of
raw cotton into yarn and
cloths.

By special request we pub-
lish the following autograph

Ro nokk July 9 '14 Saturday
Dear Sir -.you are it per
fect liberty to submit Hale
claims to arbitration iryou
ceive it advisable. .But
should he exert himself to-
aside the former order otrc' v
ference for the purpose of pro-
curing a new one? tAi to the
arbitrators I know ofnqne bet
ter than those already Varncd
but you may select any 'honest
man that is- acquainted with
Hall's character. From my
knowledge of it and from a let-
ter which he addressed tome
not lonir atro I am imprcssc'dl
with the idea that the fellow is
needy and wrants ahtlle imme-
diately. He has been running
from place to place ever since
he ran from Bizame. I did 110T
getyour letter in proper time.
In answer toyour obliging
enquiries I must 111 candor -tell
you that I "am doing" nothing.
My part is to suffer and of
suffering I have my full share.
My ihcaltji goes down very fast
As to the meditated work the
world I believe has so far for-
gotten the projected writer that
it has no expectations or wish-
es pn this head. Indeed I be-
lieve it cares as much for the
one as for the other. I recip-
rocate your congratulations on
the fall of Buonaparte. I fear
however thati Jacobinism is not
yetj extirpated in Europe.
Matters pf inveterate opinion
are not changed in a day.
Moral revolution must be the
workoftime. As for ourselves
I see no likelihood of a change
unless England and Spun
should refuse us a piace. The
people will-go 011 condemning
the war and electing and sup-
porting theauthor of it. If Spain
insists upon having Loqfsqna
fear that this" gqyemment will
not realize the experience of
its last war. Our conduct to
that nation has been so super-
eminently base treacherous and
cowardly that we have nothing
to expect from her forbearance.
Let me hear from you by the
bearer and send me your lat-
est papers. It is doubtful
whether I shall be at P. Ed.
cdurt I have long been unfit
and unable to scuffle in a crowd
and I travel in torture except in
a carriage nt I have npnp.
My best compliments to Mrs.
B.andyour family. Salute cor-
dially a.U friends who enquire
after me Jt
Yours John Randou-h

The Baltimore Sun recently
sent a correspondent into the
by-ways of New England to spy
out the nakedness of "the alle-
ged land of culture as a sort of
quid pro qua for the efforts of
the northern penny-a- liners to
misrepresent the south. The
Sun is doing to lathers as others
do it which is after all the work-
ing version of ihe Golden Rule
ant the results of the journalis-
tic tour arc valuable in more
ways than one. It would seem
that the correspondent Dr.
Bagby found much more to
commend than to condemn and
consequently "both he and his
readers leave their work with
a better feeling to their Boreal
country than they had at the
beginning Every step that
can be taken to make both north
and south see how much there
is to admire and respect in their
neighbors is so much gained
towards the goal the Union as
it was.
Some of our republican friends
quote from the Banner in mak-
ing campaign speeches and as
we desire to furnish them with
good matter we reproduce the
following from the Giddings
Lone Star stating however
that Washington county scrip
isVorth about So cents instead
of 60:
"The democrats of Washing-
ton county are making a de-
termined fight for the control of
the county affairs. The fact
that though Washington coun-
ty is recognized as one of the
richest counties in the state "its
scrip is worth only about 60
cents on the dollar suggests the
necessity of a change. Not-
withstanding the heavy expense
to which Lee county has been
subjected during the past two
years and iti small income as
compared with the income of
Washington county the county
is out of debt its scrip is worth
ioc cents on the dollar and
there is a handsome balance in
the treasury.

On the first registration day
this year 43682 names were
placed on the books in Brook-H
lyn. This indicates largely in-
creased votes over 1876 when
the total registration for the first
day was 26659. As the demo-
crats will profit more largely by
the increase than the republi-
cans it is safe to say that Han-
cock's majority in Kings county
will not be less than zo000.
