A IV ■ilnnce.
The saloon at the northwest corner of
Market and Center streets sits over a
pond of stagnant water, that has been
in existence since the storm, if not
Ix fore. Mr. Marine, the lessee, stated
to a reporter that he was Compelled to
» close up at night early on account of
tlie nauseous Tapors that arise, and that
even in the upper part of the house the
smell is perceptible. He had a portion
of the banquette taken up on Market
street next to the house, thus pr<xlue-
ing a vent hole, out of which accumu-
lated odors and vapors could arise. The
water is of a dark color, and within a
foot of the floor and over a foot deep.
There are other houses on this and
other streets sitting over pools of water
that have no exit. The matter claims
the attention of the City Council.
——
" DlaehRrgcd."
Sunday last a row occurred on Me-
chanic street, between Twenty-seventh
and Twenty-eighth streets, in which a
pocket-knife was used, and one of the
parties was cut near the left shoulder
blade. The police were qnicklv on the
scene, and lioth fparties. accompanied
by a large number of their friends and
curious citizens, were taken to the po-
lice station.*whcrcthe language used by
the party who did the cutting was sug
gestivc of direful results should they
meet in the future. A charge of assault
with intent to murder was drawn up
and signed by the wounded man. but not
sworn to, as there was no one present
who wits em]lowered to administer an
oa'h.
On this charge the accused was com-
mitted to the county jail. Monday
morning the case was called, but the
prosecuting witness did not put in an
appearance, and it required a regular
process of the court to secuie his at-
tendance yesterday morning. But in
the meantime a complete change hail
come over him, and when requested to
make oath to the affidavit which lie
signed but two days before, and on
which the accused had been imprisoned
in the county jail, he refused to do so,
and as lie was the party from whom the
charge should emanate, nothing could
lie done in the matter, andlhis is why

titf. crt is stiiiii thky come.
Now that the excitement of the State
Convention lias subsided, local politics
are again on the upward tendency.
The past week, while not interfering
with quiet little opportunities that must
be taken advantage of at the moment,
lest, like n bubble on the water,
they be merely seen and lost for-
ever, gave to the host of office
seekers-in-chief a chance to breathe
freely, each knowing that the other was
absorbed in studying the methods of
the great partyjnoguls in convention
assembled. The great difference be-
tween the convention and local canva.ss-
ing is that in the first instance the in-
terest was mainly confined to the hotels
and convention hall, while in the sec-
ond case every grocery, corner, club-
house or gathering, large or small, dis-
cusses the prospects, claims, present
and previous condition of those
out ok TAI.ked of
for office. The friends of the respec-
tive candidates are working with a
will, and by the time election day comes
some men, who have promised to vote
for all that come along. Will have a
weighty burden of sins on their shoul-
ders. From what can lie gleaned in
political circles by News report-
ers, the indications are tliat
for all the offices, from constable to
judge, there will be two or more con-
testants. Some will seek the nomina-
tion subject to the choice of the Demo-
cratic party, while others will go it in-
dependently. This will insure a lively
election, as it seems to be pretty well
settled that there will be independent
candidates for most of the offices, with
whom the regular Democratic nominees
will have to contend,
AFTER ITAVrSG secured,
at the end of a scuffle, the party en-
dorsement in convention or at a primary
election, which ever is determined on
as the plan of nomination.
In reference to the method of making
nominations there is a difference of
opinion, some favoring the primaries,
others the convention. It is asserted
that the candidates want to hold a con-
vention of their own to determine the
question, lijit as yet they have arrived
at no conclusion. Such a convention—
and ifcwould be no small one—would
include Democratic candidates only, as
the independents are satisfied to run on
the simple endorsement of " Many
Friends," "Vox Populi," etc. Three
candidates for sheriff are already out,
and two more are getting ready "to en-
ter the arena. The latter are waiting
for developments, sounding their
chances, as it were, and, though keep-
ing low, have
signified to friends
their intention of coming out with fly-
ing colors before long. Three candi-
dates for County Judge are before the
psople by public announcement, und
one or two more are mentioned. For
District Judge there are equally as
many candidates named, though none
have made a public notification as yet
of their intention to run. Threecandi-
dates for County Clerk have come out
and one mors is spoken of, while but
one announcement is made for District
Clerk, an office wanted by two others
who are gazing into the situation. It is
learned that there will be several con
testants for the office of Justice of the
Peace in each precinct, also for the
four commissionerships,
whii.e the minor offices of con-
stable
have, in no precinct so far as learned,
less than two interested seekers. For
the offices of Treasurer and Collector
there are two candidates each whose
names are before the people. The office
of Collector seems to have little attrac-
tion for the "host" as yet, but maybe
taken up at the eleventh hour by some
one willing to sacrifice his chance for a
higher place to a candidate in whose
way, " for the good of the party," he
will not stand. When one reflects for
a moment that each candidate has his
friends, and that principal and assist-
ants are daily getting deeper into the
work of the canvass,
there can be little surprise that the
public mind is so engrossed with local
politics. A careful summary shows
that, up to date, fifty-one candidates
arc in the field for twenty-two county
offices to be filled. Hut there is every
prospect of a wholesome increase before
nominations are made.
DASTARDLY INSULT.
Tlie Offrudrr Flees from the Wrath
lo Come.
A dastardly wretch, while under the
influence of liquor, insulted a lady yes-
terday afternoon at the alley crossing on
Twenty second street, between Market
and Mechanic. She reported the fact to
a gentleman friend, who started in pur-
suit of the rascal, but he had been spir-
ited away for his own good to avoid
being summarily dealt with. It is said
that the protector of the lady had about
his clothes a model persuader which
from his known pluck, he would have
brought into speedv requisition had he
come up with the offender, and the lat
ter had showed signs of retreating.
A crowd congregated to witness the
little drama, but, as stated, trouble
was averted by the prompt disappear
ance of the man of no decency. The
police authorities could do no better
service than to ferret out the offending
reprobate and bring him to the liar of
justice.

Another Fire In a Ship's Hold.
Yesterday shortly after one o'clock
the alarm of fire was heard nvpf the
city, and In a short tittle the machines
were tattling through tlie streets to the
scene of action. It was soon learned
that the fire -was at Mr. Geo. Plitt's
house, near Oleander Park, and some
of the horses attached to the machines
not being equal to the extraordinary de-
mand on their powers, only Hook and
Ladder Ng. 2, Star State No. 3, and
Mechauics No. 0 reached the spot, and
in that order. Chief Engineer Davey
arrived first, and immediately took
charge of those engaged in passing
water in buckets. „ A number of but-
chers from the neighborhood had as-
sembled for this purpose. The front
portion of the house was burned, bat
the articles of furniture and clothing
saved, ♦ith oneor two exceptions, such
as a mattress and things of minor value.
About half the house was saved. The
building was insured for $3600 in the
Union, Marine and Fire Insurance Com-
pany of this city.
The origin of the firo was said to-be
in a defective chimney connection.
Mrs. Plitt and several ladies were sit-
ting in one of the rooms sewing when a
neighbor discovered the flames and
rushed in with the startling tidings.
All about the house went to work to
save what they could. The firemen
worked hard, and considering the dis-
tance of the house from town (two
miles) did good service in arresting the
flunes when they did.
pire in a sailing vessel.
Last night about nine o'clock a fire
was reported in a vessel at the new
wharf. The alarm was sounded and
the department with their machines
were soon at the scene of action. In
the hold of the sailing vessel Mary
Frost, lying at the new wharf loading
with cotton, a fire was reported to be
slowly making headway. A number of
burning bales were removed from the
hold and placed on the wharf, but
as it was thought from the material
that had to be dealt with some hidden
spark might rekindle the flame after the
engines bail drawn off, the engines
were set to work to pump water into
the hold. The water was brought up to
a level with the cotton. The cause of
the fire is not known. The cotton is
uninjured save what it will suffer Jrom
a salt water soaking. The vessel isfying
among several others, and a large fire
would have resulted disastrously.

Capt. Clian. F. White for County
Clerk.
As a part of the voting population of
Galveston county, we take pleasure in
saying what we believe to be the senti-
ments of his host of friends, that Capt.
Clifis. F. White is fully capable of fill-
ing the office of County Clerk, for
which he will be a candidate. He held
for about three years the office of Clerk
of the Fifth District Court at New Or-
leans, and during that time proved him-
self master of the position. Capt.
White is well known in this city by
voters of all classes, having been for
several years engaged in the real estate
business, and on occasions when he took
part in public matters has ever shown
himself the thoroughgoing, upright,
liberal-minded gentleman that he is.
This much is said of him not in the
usual way of fulsome indorsements for
popular "effect, but because he is con-
sidered every way worthy the pul>li<?
confidence by his Fhikndb.
Self-Evident.—If two cans are of
the same size, and both are full, it is
self-evident that one contains as much
by Measure as the other, although on.
being filled with heavy substances may
weigh many ounces more than the
other. Now, as Dr. Price's Cream Bak-
ing Powder is put up in cans as large,
and hold as much by measure as other
kinds, and as baking powder is used by
measure (teaspoonfuls), and not by
weight, if all were of the same strength
one would go as far as the other; but
as Dr. Price's is as effective^-by using
two teaspoonfuls as most kinds are
with three, then it is self-evident that
there is one-third saved in using his
powder. Housewives will find" that
aside from its excellence and healthful-
ness that two cans of Dr. Price's is equal
to three cans the same size of the
weighty kinds. A trial will prove this,
and also that Dr. Price's True Flavor-
ing Extracts are the most natural and
delicate flavors made.

Dr. Ward'. Seminary.
Special attention is called to the ad-
vertisement of this school in another
column. Parents and guardians will do
well to place their daughters and wards
under the care of this able and success-
ful institution. It has gradually
worked its way till it justly occu-
pies a posision among those" in the
front rank in American institutions;
and its graduates are of every
Southern State, and many of them
now teachers. The lectures of Dr.
Ward to his school on European
affairs, are regarded as an additional
advantage in this flkcellent school.

water quickly and warm enough for all

been issued by the President of the Par-

Ex-Gov. Halin took part. He nomi-
nated Judge Taliaferro, of the Supreme
Court. State Senator J. B. Eustis, of
Orleans, was elected by 58 majority.
He received 61 votes.
STlie Senate passed a resolution that
there was no vacancy, and therefore no
necessity for an election, by 13 to 1'2.
The Democratic Senators, however, will
attend joint session to-morrow, and it is
said three Republican Senators will join
them, when Eustis will lie elected by a
legal majority, on joint ballot.

At Brookhaven, Miss., Mr. Perkins
playfully measured J. H. Stewart for a
coffin, and found that an "eightaen-inch
box" would do him. The Citizen says:
It was nearly 6 o'clock Tuesday even-
ing when Mr. Perkins measured Mr.
Stewart, not thinking for a moment
he would lie called on so soon to fur-
nish a coffin for that measurement.
About eight hours after Mr. Perkins
had measured Mr. Stewart he received
a •otice of his death and an order for
a coffin. The coffin was sent in accord-
ance with the above measurement.

in the drovers' car, and nearly froze the
Major's drovers, for which the Major
promptly reported him. He was dis-
charged The discharged conductor
then went to Richmond, got on another
spree and died in jail. Ilis companion
in his coll was convicted of stealing the
dead man's gold sleeve buttons and sent
to the penitentiary for three years, and
finally the examination of the facts
about the conductor's death showed the
jail to be such a horrible place that
Kichmond is to build a new one at some
$50,000 expense.

The Cattle Trade—Improvements,
Etr., Etc.
Rockport, Jan. 5, 1876.
K(]x. ATew»—I notice several im-
provements and understand that others
are projected.
The principal business of this place
is shipping cattle, and during the win-
ter months, things are made" lively by
the arrival and departure of steamers
for Havana and Brashear, each one of
which takes from four to five hundred
liccve*. The magnitude of the cattle
trade is already great and constantly
increasing.
The town is located on one of the
handsomest bays on the Gulf, the har-
bor is land-locked, and vessels can ride
in safety during the worst of storms.
The waters teem with fish and oysters,
and game of every description is abun-
dant. In fact, tlie natural advantages
of Rockport are greater than those of
any of the places below Galveston, and
the town will certainly soon become one
of commercial importance. There are
churches, schools, hotels and every
other advantage that could be expected
in a place of the same size, and many
persons find it a pleasant place in which
to spend the winter.

On the 7th inst., a German by the
name of G. H*Wekampwas. with other
workmen, in the employ of the United

felling trees that were obstructions to
navigation in Red River about six miles
above Slireveport, at the lower portion
of the Haynes' plantation, on the Bos-
sier side, when a tree fell across liis
body, killing him instantly. It appears
from papers, written in German, found
among his effects, that 1* was born in
Dalem, Germany, in the year 1845. His
registration papqes show "that he has re-
cently lived in Galveston. Document-
ary evidence found shows that he was a
member of the society of Odd Fellows
in Galveston.

receiving the attentions of a young man
for about a year, but, becoming impa-

crisis, she resolved to ascertain his in-

took him gently by the ear, led him to
a seat, and said":
"Nobby, you've bin foolin' 'round

RHEUMATISM CURED.
Dr John Finn:
Dear Sir—I feel it a duty to suffering hu-
manity, no less than -to your unparalleled
medicine, to thank you for having rescued me
from a fate infinitely worse than death.
For ten years I have been afflicted with
rheumatism to such an extent as to render
life intolerable, and there has been no period
of time in the last two vears that I would not
have hailed death as the kindest boon that
heaven could bestow. I had been treated by
such eminent doctors as Ayres, Byrne, the
late Geo. Cochman, Wilde. Palmedo, and
others, of Brooklyn. New York; Professors
Stone and Beamis, of New Orleans, and some
in this city, but they all failed until, through
the mercy of Providence, I callfSI upon you
and took your wonderful medicines, which, in
the short spa®* of ten days, has affected a per-
fect and radical cure. Your much obliged and
sincere friend. J AS. W. McCLOSKY,

Dr. John Finn:
Dear Sir—I was afflicted with Chronic Rheu-
matism for the last five years, and have been
for several weeks at a time confined to my
bed, and going upon crutcMs. After fifteen
days taking your medicine, as directed. I am
completely cured. Indeed I have not felt so
