The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
will meet in this city on the first Mon-
day in February and it is expected that
from 300 to r00 delegates will be pres
ent. During the session of the Orand
Lodge steps will be taken for the ercc
tion in this city of the Odd Fellows'
Temple to cost $100000. The lot op
posite the Statesman office 4GxlG0
feet has been purchased as the site for
the temple. One hundred thousand
dollars will erect a magnificent build-
ing in this city. The court house at
the head of the Avenue only cost
75000.
BimniRs Cakkiaues and Wagon9.
Mr. 8. H. Perry at the Robinson cor-
ner below the telegraph office build-
ing has on sale an immense stock of
wagons buggies and carriages anil he
is selling good work very cheap. Ev-
ery man wanting a buggy or carriage
and every farmer needing a wagon
should go and see Mr. Perry. As for
stylo of pattern and durability of
make his buggies and carriages are A
1 antl his wagons are the best that
inn.
Another Old Setti.eh Gone. The
Statesman is again called upon to an-
nounce the death of another old set-
tler one of the very first that located
in this section of the State. Mr. Reu-
ben Hornsby is no more. He departed
this life yesterday morning at his home
a few miles down the river at the ad-
vanced age of 80. He was a man of
indomitable will courageous and con-
scientious and possessed warm im-
pulses. ' He was erhaps the oldest
man iu the county and certainly one
of the best. Iu pioneer days there
were none truer or braver or more self-
sacrificing than Reuben Hornsby and
his death will cause a feeling of deep
regret in the breasts of many old
Texans.
ScnooLs op Fish. The river was
Thursday filled with schools of fish
and many people viewed them from
the bridge. Up the river as far as the
-eye could reach schools numbering
thousands could be seen. The fish
were from three inches to a foot in
length and they came out into shallow
water to sun themselves. Three or
four years ago the government stocked
the Colorado at this place with salmon
and shad and these fish now appeal-
ing by millions are supposed to be the
result. A few of them should be
seined that it might be ascertained to
a certainty as to what species they be-
long Alderman Platt is waging a hot
war on the special policemen apKinted
to hunt up six-shooter cases and to re-
port on those who disregard in the least
the sanitary regulations. He says that
generally speaking the men selected to
do this duty are nothing moie or less
than useless and unworthv of public
confidence. Alderman Platt also claims
that the ordinance authorizing their
appointment was passed not for the
benefit of the people but for their op-
pression and tor the sole purpose of
"feathering the nest" of a lew officials.
Ho says that in some instances com-
plaints have been made by said specials
against poor women for throwing a pan
of slop into a street or alley and that
said women rather than go before a
police court and stand trial plead
guilty and were simply made to pay
costs. Mr. Platt claims that he is at-
tempting to put down a wrong which
is a great infliction to the people and
he is content that the public should
Jtnow all the facts.
' It is a common thing for Green-
backers and all who complain about
contraction and hard times to saddle
all the blame upon the bondholders of
the East. It is an admitted fact that
in the manufacturing districts of the
East more government bonds are held
than anywhere else; but we hardly
think it fair that the bondholders and
manufacturers of the East and the
manufacturers are generally bondhold-
er should be alone held responsible
for the ills that the Greenbackers
complain about. Certainly this class
of people have suffered more by
the stringency of the times than any
other class. Many very many of
them have failed and been left with-
out a dollar and all have lost more or
less. Factories everywhere have sus-
pended to the serious injury of pro-
prietors as well as operatives and
property of all kinds in the East has
depreciated from SO to 200 per cent
in the last five years. If the Green-
backers insiut that the troubles in this
country are due to the financial policy
of the government and to the bond-
holders then how will they explain
the present distress in Europe?
Library Entertainment Elec-
tric Light Illuminations. About
seventy-five people were present Friday
night at the Library entertunp-int
among whom were a few Senrs and
Representatives. The mVtf attraction
was ProL 8. Q. SnecdVlecture and ex-
periments on me electric light. In
lit lecture he spoke of the nature of
electricity modes of producing it its
application in useful arts and its ap-
plication to illumination and beating
nd be gave I i hearers a very good
idea of the manner in which Edison
proposes to light cities public halls
aud buildings with electric lights.
With his batteries he produced lights
of various aixethe largest of which was
equal perhaps to half a dozen ordinary
gaslights. Ue spoke of experiments that
had recently been made In Cincinnati;
alluded to the difficulties that had
been encountered and conquered; the
illuminating power; the cost of pro-
ducing the light; the present advance-
ment and the probable future. The
Professor is sanguine that cities and
halls can be lighted by electric lights
at a cost thirty or forty times cheaper
than by gaslight and that with two
lights the Avenue could be beautifully
illuminated from the Capitol to the
liter. Ilia lecture was very interesting
and his experiment decidedly satisfac-
tory. We were sorry that there were
not wore people present and hope that
Prof. Soeed can be induced to give the
public an opportunity to witness elec-
tric light experiments on a future oc-
casion. "Why not have the Capitol and
the Avenue thus illuminated some

Austin January 8 1S70.
Editors Democratic SUtmnan:
In the issue of the Galveston Setts of
January 7 appears an article from their
special correspondent stating that the
freeze bad cracked the stone piled np
about the Federal court house and
postoffice which he says "shows that
it was too soft and porous for the pur-
pose intended."
The stjne is the best in the State
ami in many respects superior to that
obtaiued in other States and used by
the Federal government in the erec-
tion of public buildings. There are
few building stones in the United
States superior to it in beauty dura-
bility and solidity. It is not poious or
chalky. That the extreme cold did
break several pieces is not denied but
the cause is spparent to the merest
uovice. All .sedimentary rocks with-
out any exception are filled with what
is known as "quarry sap" and if ex-
posed to extreme cold immediately
after being taken out will break.
The simple fact is every stone that
was broken by the frost was Quarried
since December 30 and cut in the three
days preceding the freeze. Of course
there was not time for this "ssd" to
dry out and the stone being exposed
on all sides the cold concentrated it in
the center of them and then congealing
it uurst them open. A pertinent fact
in this connection is that not one of the
hundreds of pieces cut prior to Decem-
ber 30 was broken. The correspond
ent must have gotten his information
from some person who "has an axe to
grind" or he certainly would not have
pronounced this stone unfit for the
purpose intended when from his office
window be could see the maenifi-
cent front of Walter Tips& Ce.'s store
and lie must have had his eves closed
when he passed the county court house
and Hannig's building and several
other buildings here which would do
credit to any city and the stone for
which came from this same auarrv.
The contractor is willing to submit the
stone to all the tests known to science
before any board of competent un-
prejudiced men but he protests
against thus prejudging the case by
parties who know nothing ebout build
ing material and are ignorant of the
facts or who have some ulterior ob
ject tosubseive.

Venly to most people whose sys-
tems are failing or in any way out of
orucr vii as a medicine is the most
disgusting and difficult to take. Few
stomachs do not revolt at the mere
thought of Castor or Cod Liver Oil
yet when those appalling symptoms
of decay appear which physicians and
patients alike know are unerring signs
of greater waste of blood aud tissue
than the nutritive powers are su Driv
ing Cod Liver Oil is the most trust-
worthy and effective remedy in the
world. But repugnance to its taste
and odor reduce the nervous patient
to despair. It is then that friends and
doctor can do him the most inestima-
ble kindness he has ever known by
telling him of Scott's Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil with the IlYpopnos-
fqites of Lime and Soda; by truth-
fully assuring him of its entire freedom
from unpleasant smell or odor; of its
marvelous qualities as a nutrient and
the miracles it works in giving tone
and energy to stomach nerve and

Capt. Merrell whose serious illness the

departed this life on Friday last at his
home on Brushy in the southwestern
part of Williamson county and on
Saturday the remains of this gallant
yeteran one of the earliest settlers in
this section of the State were followed
to the grave. Captain Merrell came to
this place about the year 1837 or 1838
and joined the army of the Mexican
Federation. He was one of the 107
men of the famous Jourdan retreat
rrom Saltillo in 1840. Capt. Merrell
married in Austin that year and he
and his bride accompanied by Judge
Joseph Lee and others of our city im
mediately set out on ponies for Lad's
creek a branch of Brushy now called
we believe Chandlers branch where
the new couple located and lived for
thirty-eight years. Then herds of
buffaloes covered the prairie9 and In-
dians were in full possession of the
country. It was only here and there
that the cabin of a white settler was
to be found in the vicinity of
the Colorado above Bastrop. Capt.
Reuben Hornsby whose death we an
nounced on Sunday resided on the
Colorado about ten miles below Aus-
tin. He came to Bastrop in 1S30 and
remained there two years when he
located at the place he died called
Hornsby's bend. Capt. Hornsby was
born in North Carolina but moved to
Mississippi and there married a Miss
Sarah Morrison in 1810. One of his
sons was killed by the Indians as was
Mr. Itodgers while attempting to carry
a message on horseback from Capt.
Hornsby's to Duty's cabin three-quarters
of a mile distant. Bands of In-
diana threatened the inmates of both
cabins and an effort to bring about a
concert of action between the two
resulted in the death of the man
who attempted to carry the message
on a fleet mare which gave out
aud was overtaken by the In
dians. The death of these no-
ble men who had so long been
linked with the destiny of the country 1

the pioneer days. Capt. Hornsby

L. V. Reeves of Tensas chairman of

regard to the fusion organization in
the parish which included such Re
publicans as Judge Cordell and Sheriff
Register. After this we declined to
appoint a committee to confer with
Fairfax. Tbe differences that subse-
quently arose I am convinced did not
arise from political causes. Capt.
Peck visited Fairfax's house for a po-
litical purpose. A rumor had sprsad
that the color line was to be drawn
and tbe people felt alarmed at the
prospect. My opinion is that Peck
went to Fairfax to expostulate with
him and induce him to withdraw from
Lis purpose of setting the blacks
against the whites. His story of what
occurred is well known. Capt. Peck
was shot down and in the fight that
ensued several negroes were wounded
one of whom afterwards died. This
was the starting point of the trouble
and the question became no longer a
political one but a contest between the
wmies ana ine uiscks. The nesroes
at once massed in large numbers and it
became necessary to restore order. For
this purpose Judge Cordell and Sheriff
Register assembled a posse to put down
the disturbance. Warrants were issued
for the arrest of Fairfax but they
could not be served on account of
the negroes who flocked around him.
All was peaceable and quiet on elec-

London- January 14. A Bjrlin dis
patch says the parliamentary punish
ment oiii continues the chief topic of
conversation in all political circles.
The opinion of the foreign press is
largely quoted in comparison with the
articles in tbe journals here which
seems to yield the curious result tht
abroad there is more opposition to the
Chancellor's bill than in Germany
itself. There is certainly great oppo
sition nere io me out though to the
English mind it is somewhat surpris-
ing to find SO much nnrnnr rniTr-
j mg in view of the fate which seems to
threaten the freedom of speech and
the liberty of the press. The Nrd
Deitehe AUegemine Zeitunti and Pot
defend the Chancellor's scheme. The
Ko4ntz Zeitung though admitting the
necessity of some restraint on parlia
mentary speeches thinks with the
Liberals that the bill in iu present
form inadmissible for the reason that
it changes several articles of the con-
stitution which cannot be done with-

caucus of Republican Senators
was called to-day by Senator Edmunds
to take action on the order of busi-
ness and a committee was appointed to
report on the subject at a future meet-
ing. There was also an interchange of
views on political questions as to what
would best advance the interests of the
Republican party.
The resumption of specie payments
was a matter of general congratulation
and was claimed as a measure origi
nating with and carried by the Re-
publican party and which was suc-
cessful notwithstanding the persistent
eiions oi ine Democratic party to de-
feat it. The subject of protecting all
citizens particularly those of the
South in their rights nnder the ConJ
stitution was discussed all agreeing
that the enforcement of law for this
purpose would materially strengthen
the party which always advocated the
doctrine of equal rights.
London January 11. The. Diily
Ntws vBerlin special says that the pro-
posed bill practically abolishes all
guarantees of the freedom of debate
and with it is in the power of a ma
jority to turn any offending member
over to the courts. It makes it a pe-
nal offense for the press to publish
any speech that has been censured by
the President of the Diet and nomi-
nally aimed at the Social deputies.
The law could be applied or misap-
plied to any objectionable member of
the majority. The bill was wholly
unexpected and seems to alarm even
the National Liberals but they will
probably reconcile themselves to it
before it comes o a vote in the Diet
