We have had overmncb wet weather tor
the good ot cotton. Saturday night it
rained, nearly all night steadily, and Sun-
day night repeated the pertbrmance all
day Monday the chemicals in the barora-
ter were up, and we looked for more rain,
but the elerk ot the weather has been on
bis good behavior since, and yesterday
morning presented itself, pleasantly cool
yet sunny, and decidedly invigorating.
The Union League, and the rich
Philadelphia manufacturers are raising
money to carry Indiana. Nevertheless
they will not carry it. The manufactur-
ers are roused by the fear that the democ-
racy it successful will repeal the legal sys-
tem of robbery by which all the agricul-
turalists, mechanics, traders and laborers
of the United States are robbed daily and
weekly to sustain these Lords ol the mills
in affluence. The hand writing on is the
wall—they may well fear that tbe system
by which seven-eighths are robbed to en-
rich one eighth is about to receive its
death blow. But the people this time are
to triumph over the efforts ot the capital-
ists to continue their enslavement.

New York had a grand meeting on tlx-
niglit of the 23d; nnder the auspices of the
Tammany—one of those overwhelming
demonstrations which can be got up no-
where else in the Union. The Sun occu-
pies several columns with descriptions of
the scenes at the different places of meet
ing, and condensed reports of the speech-
es, which were made by Seuators Bayard
and Hill, Sam'l. J. Randall, Gov. Dorshe-
mier, General Waddell, Hou. Robt. A.
McLane, ex-Gov. John Lee Carroll of Ma-
ryland, Senator Kejnan, Gen. Wade
Hampton, ex-Gov. Bedle of New Jersey,
and several others. There were also Irish
and German meetings,addressed by speak,
ers of their owu nationalities. It was a
grand affair, and in conjunction with the
meeting of the seceding Republicans the
proceedings of which we publish to-day,
gave evidence enough to those who know
New York, and its style when roused,
that the City will give 75,000 majority
for Hancock and English. Note our
prophecy, and see how far we miss it.
The following is the introductory editori-
al of the Sun, twelve colums of which, in
small type, are taken up with reports of
the proceedings of the several meetings,
there is a grand revolution • progressing
—note it!
"The mass meeting of Democrats held last
night under the auspices of the Tammany
Democratic organizations'aa the most suc-
cessful in point of nnml^fs and enthusiasm
that New Yorkers have seen since the memo-
rable gathering in Union square at the Cen-
tennial celebration on the night of the 'id of
July, 1876. It is not exaggeration to say that
150,000 persons from New York and the
neighboring cities were in and axoiuiil Union
square, and in the streets through which the
torchlight procession moved. There were
ten meetings. Those held indoors were in
Tammany Hall and Irving Hall. Tiie out-
door gatherings were at Broadway and Four-
teenth street, Broadway and Fifteenth street,
Broadway and Sixteenth street, Broadway
and Seventeenth street, Fourth avenue, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets;
Fourteenth street, opposite Tammany Hall,
and Fourteenth street on either side of the
entrance to Tammany Hall.
The interior of Tammany Hall was profuse-
ly and handsomely decorated. Illuminated
stars studded the front of the gallery ; thirty-
eiuht shields bearing the coats-of-arms of tlie
thirty-eight States liuug on the walls, and red,
white, and blue streamers stretched from the
ceiling to the outer gallery rail. Over the
stage were life-size portraits of Hancock and
English, and under them stood the thirteen
Tammany standards, on which were the arms
of the original States of the Union. The out
door stands were all tastefully decorated with
red, white, and blue bunting. On the front
of each was the inscription, "Tammany Hall,
founded by the Democracy of 1779. Han-
cock and English, 1680." Irving Hall was
handsomely decorated, and the Irviug Ilall
Democracy's beautiful banner showed to good
ad". -;utage under the calcium lights in Irving
place.
Union square and Fourteenth street iu
front of Tammany Hall were brilliantly illu-
minated by electric lights, and in Irvin
place and Fifteenth street calcium lights shone
brightly. The £as jets on the Seventeenth
street side of Union square were lighted, and
over them hung the flags of all nations.
Tlie throngs began to gather at 6 o'clock,
and when the ten meetings opened fully 50,
000 persons were assembled in and around
Union square. The scene at tl.is time was
brilliant and exciting. Bands of music play-
ed in front of Tammany and Irving Hall .yul
on uaeli of the eight stands; bursting bombs
and blazing rockets filled the air, ami lit'ty
thousand people shouted aud cheered for Gen.
Hancock. " Not less than fifteen thousand
persons stood in front of the stand on Union
square, facing Broadway, and as many more
were packed in the plaza in front of the Sev-
enteenth street stand. Broadway, from Thir-
teenth street to Seventeenth street; Fourth
avenue, from Fourteenth street to the Everett
House, and Fouiteentli street, from Universi
ty place to Third avenue, were densely
thronged; and Tammany Hail and Irving
Hall were crowded. The throng in the Un-
ion Square Park was so great as to render it
almost impassable. Fifth, Madison, and
Fourth avcuues and the streets through which
the procession marched were uncomfortably
tilled with moving men and women as early
as 7 o'clock, and while the procession was
passing thousands tilled the stoops of the
houses and stood on the sidewalks in com-
pact lines three and four files deep."

Ed. Standard :—In answer to enqui-
ries made by the voters and tax payers ol
precinct No. 3, Red River County, Texas.
In mass meeting assembled at Maple
Springs, asking the views of the candi-
dates for County Judge and County Com-
missioners, upon the subiect of building a
new court house in the town of Clarks
ville. Being a candidate for County
Judge I believe it my duty to answer the
same as I recognize the right of the tax
payers and voters ot the county to know
the views of the several candidates for
Couuty Judge aud Couuty Commissioners
upon the subject of building a new court
house. I am opposed to building a new
court house for the following reasons.
First, because I believe the old court
hoi -1 has room sufficient for tlie transac-
tion of ;'M county business, and believe it
will be safe for the next ten years at
least. Second, I do not believe it is right
to tax the people lor public buildings and
improvements unnecessarily, as our taxes
are now as mnch as we can bear. Third,
1 am opposed to running the county in
debt, as we would be compelled to do,
should we build a uew court house at
any time iu the near future.
John A. Bagby.
The New Orleans papers do not seem to be
satisfied with their new road to Houston. Its
cha ges are so heavy as to cut off nearly all
business from Texas. We would suppose that
a reduction which would insure business,
would benefit the owners of the road, quite
as much as it would the trade of the city, but
it is not important to I Houston or Galveston
that the trade should be diverted to New Or-
leans.
September 29th, 1880.)
Ed. Standarb :—One night last week,
a scamp, not having respect for the rights
of property, stole a riding pony belonging
to Mr. Dorsett Sr., of Robbinsville, leav-
ing a broken down, white mule at his
place. This happeued while the honest
man slumbered. When he realized the
situation his wrath was enkindled; he
was attached to the pony, more so per-
haps, since he was goue, probably never
to return. He wauted to put his grap-
pling irons on the scoundrel, see him
dance a hornpipe, on nothing, or yoke
him to a muley ox and put him to work on
his tread wheel, feed him like Dr. Tanner
was fed in New York, until seventy times
seven went over his head, and he became
a sobered honest man, willing to behave
himself. Come back! Come back! You
scamp, and yet your "ole while mule."
The court house question is slowly but
surely advancing, and fairly promises to
become the most absorbing question in
the county. In order that the tax pay-
ers may have a better knowledge of the
present court house, I will write from
memory some things that may be new to
the pnblic, promising that any misstate-
ment of miners open for correction. Where
the court house stands, it is understood
to be, from the top of the ground to a
rock foundation about seven feet: the
foundations ot the outside walls were laid
four leet from top of the ground: the in-
side walls, comprising the sheriffs office,
district clerks, county judges, and what
used to be the county clerk's office, the
foundation walls were laid directly on top
of the ground. Two ot these walls run|np
to top of second story, making the jury-
rooms above. The inside walls wore built
up and connected with the outside walls,
the joists were laid from east to west,
resting on inside walls, and going four or
six inches, into outside wails. In course of
time the inside walls settled faster than
the outside walls, and broke loose from
theiu, the inside walls settling about two
inches lower ttian the outside walls. All
the walls stand perpendicular, with the
exception ot one and a half inch bulge on
the west outside walls at second story,
and one inch on south side, there are a
lew slight cracks in outside walls, caused
from unequal settling at foundation. The
error originally was, in putting the inside
walls on the top of the ground; it not be-
ing as compact at the surface as lour leet
below. All that is now necessary, is to
see that the joists ot the second story re-
main ou a level, with the ends that were
originally let into the outside wall, the
frame work and roofing are sound, and
all timbers iu their places as originally
put up. It has sadly needed covering for
the last two years. I make the assertion
that the court house was never likely to
fall. How can a brick wall, on solid
foundations and sufficient width, com-
posed of sound brick and mortar, that re-
mains perpendicu'ar, fall ? The idea of it
falling is absurd. In 1874 or '75, large
irou rods, hog chains, were put in, from
outside to outside. In 1877 the court
house was examined by competent me-
chanics of Clarksville, and pronounced
safe. This not being satisfactory to many
of the citizens, the Commissioner's Court,
was forced under the circumstances,
i to send to Sherman for an architect, to
thoroughly examine thebuilding, and pro-
nounce on its safety. At a cost of fifty
dollars to the county, he examined it, aud
pronounced it safe; aud I think that any
farmer who will look at the court house,
and examine it, will come to the conclu-
sion, that the mass meetiug at Maple
Springs, came to, "That the present
court house is good enough for all practi-
cal purposes, and ample in which to
transact all of the business of the county."
He would also think, it he did not so ex-
press it, that the men proposing to throw
down the present court house, and erect
a new one in its stead, have, as the In-
dian would say "cheek, heap."
The advalorein tax of the State has uni-
formly been since 1876, fifty cents on the
one hundred dollars worth ot property
The county advalorem tax, put on by the
Commissioner's Court, has been in 1878,
'79 and '80, fifty cents on the one hundred
dollars worth of property, this with the
county fin.es, stray sales, couuty, poll and
occupation tax, were to meet the current
expenses of the county, including repairs
on public buildings. It is well known,
that all the State and county taxes, can-
not be collected. There is usually a large
delinquent and insolvent list; probably
less this year than common. Now it takes
this amount, to run our county.
How will it be wheu you add two
thousaud, one hundred dollars to the
above taxation, merely to pay the inter-
est ou an uncalled for debt. In 1877 the
last debt for the erection of the present
court house, was paid; is it reasonable to
suppose that the people will stoop their
shoulders, and permit an unnecessary
burthen to be laid npon them. The ad-
vocates for a new court house cannot give
a reasonable reason why it should be
built. _ COTTNTRYMAN.
Ed. Standard :—There seems to be
some dissatisfaction among the Demo-
cratic ranks, in regard to some of the
nominees. "They did not get their man.'
To all such, I would make this proposi-
tion, that the true Democracy, (so-called)
Republicans and Greenbackers, combine,
and call a Convention to be. held at FishJ
back's Lake, and import a man from
Bowie county, and put him through. It
has been done, and why not do it again.
If they cannot agree npon a thing of this
sort, we will dig a hole in the ground and
dump them into it, and let them devour
one another. I believe it is generally
couceded that the army worms will eat
one another. Yonrs truly,

Clarksville Texas, )
Septem ber 29th, 1880.j
Ed. of the Standard :
A mass meeting of the Citizens of Pre-
cinct No 3, held at Maple Springs on the
18th, inst., by resolution ask "the candi-
dates for Couuty Judge, aud also the can-
didates for Cuunty Commissioners, in Pre-
cincts No 3 and 4, to express their views
upon the snbject ot building a New Court
house, in an open letter to be published
in the County papers." In response—as
present County Judge, I have this to say;
that the building of a New Court .House
has never been proposed, discussed, or
even mentioned by, or before the existing
County Commissioners Court, as a Court,
with any view to the construction of such
New Court House. This question was
sprung, and has been agitated, alone by
the people themselves.
. This matter seems to be the result of a
proposition, and provision by the County
Commissioners Court, to erect a fire Proof
vault, by means of which the Records ot
the County might be preserved from pos-
sible, and probable destruction. Upon
intimation of such intent, by publication
invitiug bids, ot contractors to do tbe
work on the vault, a Communication from
some unknown citizen, signing hemself T.
P. the intials 1 suppose meaning Tax-pay-
er, published in the "Times" or "Stan-
dard" I forget which, ppposed the build-
ing of the proposed vault, and called for
a New Court House at no distant day,and
upon ground, difterent, than that upon
which the present Court Honse is situat-
ed. This was followed up by many edi-
torials and letters, &c., in both papers,for
aud against the proposition. Yet as the
people have acted iu no definite way, ex-
cept in the meeting at Maple Springs,
the subiect has had no consideration by
the Court.
Ah a candidate for re-election to the of-
fice of County Judge, I say this: That I
have labored too long, too assiduously,
and too untiringly to free this county
from a crushing load of debt heaped upon
it by Radical misrule in the past, to be
willing, heedlessly, or recklessly to en-
cumber it, with a pecuniary burthen
which might be fouud oppressive in the
future.
Whilst I know thatveiy many citizens
of tbe County favor the removal of the old
Court nouse, and the building of a 4Sew
one on some elligible locality away from
the present, yet those who are acquainted
with my oft expressed opinion ou the sub-
ject, know full well that I have opposed
such policy, and insisted upon the suffi-
ciency of our present budding for an in-
definite time to come, at least until con-
tinued prosperity, aud enhanced value of
property will enable us to effect "a con-
summation devoutly to be wished" with-
out too great stress upon our purse-
strings.
Respectfully.

Bridge Over Halpbur.
Again we call atteution of our mer-
chants to the great importance of pro-
curing without delay, the construction of
a bridge over this stream on the new road
to Trent's crossing, which will make the
crossing convenient to the people ot
Franklin county, as well as of Titus. In
attention to this matter- will be seriously
prejudicial to our growing trade from the
south side of Sulphur. Tlie mere sugges.
tiou to the parties mainly interested
ought to be sufficient to ensure the im-
mediate building of the bridge.

enough, when in two places in that issue,

that we had not said enough. So we pro-
ceed without further delay, to say that
our chapter of announcements shows the
name of Capt. T. H. Young, of this county,
as a candidate for sheriff, and that the
said Thos. H. Young is an old citizen,and
should need uo introduction from us, as
he is one of our largest planters, *\ ith
