No Ulceting:.
Although the News received information
from an authoritative source that there would
t>3 a meeting of the board of health last night
lit 6 o'clock, no meeting wa^ held, and the noti-
fication seems to have been an error.
Dangerous.

A Defunct Rog#
Sunday, at the corner of avenue I and

evidently becoming tired of the dilatory move-
ments of the city scavengers, w ere seen regal-
ing themselves upon the remans of a dead dog,
which, from its decomposed state, had lain

JBotts, an accomplished young lady of Houston,

very agreeable party, and to the tune of the
harp aud violin the happy young people made
the night glide away as if joy we're on the
wing.
Entertainment.
The News acknowledges receipt of tickets to
a dramatical and musical entertainment to be
given at the opera-house on Friday evening
next, by the cadets of St. Mary's university.
This university has an enviable reputation in
the educational line, and the cadets will no
doubt give a good account oil themselves when
the entertainment comes off.
Morgan Strainers.
The New Orleans States says it is understood
that one or two of the Morgan steamships is to
to be put on the route between Morgan City
and Vera Cruz. The Gussie will, it is alleged,
be the pioneer vessel. The steamship Aransas
was sent to New York a week ago last Satur-
day, there to be held in readiness for the trade
between New York and Galveston, in the
event of the crescent city being quarantined by
Galveston. The Hutchinson, which has been
lengthened and changed to a screw propeller,
will also be put in the New York and Galves
ton trade.
Torpedo Explosion.
Last night, at 10.05 o'clock, as street car No.
27 was passing westward on the Market street
track a torpedo exploded under its wheels
with a report that sounded like that of a mus-
ket. People ran from every direction, but in-
vestigation could not- place the blowing up
process to any particular individual. Charles
Mairecolas, the driver, stopped the car in
front of the Girardin and was on the lookout
for the bad mai who took him for a Russian
emperor. John Rosch, a youth, was the only
passenger on the car, and laid no claim to roy-
alty sufficient to justify any member of a
political party blowing him into the air.
A Cutting Affray.
At a late hour on Saturday' night a row oc
curred at madam Whitney's saloon, known as
the Green Front, on Market street, between
Manuel Paris and Ned Woods, the chief
cause of which was women and
wine. During the fracas Paris drew
a knife and cut Woods severely
over the left eye. Woods was taken to the
hospital, where his wounds were dressed by
the doctor and pronounce I n " dangerous by
the attending physician, providing inflamma-
tion did not set in. J', ris was arrested at
his home on Sunday night by special officer
James Cahid, and relea:-o i on a bond of $300
to appear before the recorder on the 2iSd inst.
The Washington Picnic.
The attendance -i\ x\- Washington picnic
Sunday was not iarj.v, ar I the interest mainly
centered in the walk ng match. Humbug, of
whom so much was expected by his friends,
left the track at :i p. w. with a badly
swelled knee, and from that time on
was out of the race, though he took
third money. Wilson was a suprise to all
hands as he swung easily around the track,
piling up the miles on the black board at a
rapid rate. The final score was as follows:
"Wilson, S5 miles 3 laj.s; Magee, 70 miles Claps;
Humbug, 68 miles 8 laps: Sedge wick, 51 miles
laps; Smith, 41 miles 1 lap; Heifensteiu,
40 miles 10 laps; "4 foot 4,"' ;*.l miles :l laps;
Johnson, If miles 5 laps. Wilsons perfor-
mance is a splendid one, he beating the l>est
record hitherto made on th- island in a con-
test of the kind. The eutrae-s in the ladies'
match failed to appear, and a burlesque walk
was entered into by men clad in female apparel.
During the evening dancing was in order, and
the pavilion was crowded with the dancers.

Adopted.
City attorney, adverse^', petition of W. J.
Houlahan, asking to be allowed to proceed
with the work of painting the fence around
the public square, for which he was the lowest
responsible bidder. The petitioner received
seven votes out of ten aldermen present, and
thought he should be allowed to proceed with
the work, inasmuch as a contract was lately
awarded for boring an artesian well by a vote
of seven out of nine. The following is the
opinion of the city attorney:
Galveston, June 21, 1880.—To the Honorable
City Council: Gentlemen—Upon the petition of
W. J. Houlahan, referred to me at your last meet-
ing, I beg leave to report that, in my opinion, the
bid of petitioner to paint fence around public
square has not yet received the necessary" vote,
there being only seven votes in i-s favor, ten of the
aldermen Oeing present at the time. Rule 9 of the
.standing rules of city council is as follows: "All
appropriations of money shall require a vote Oi
two-thirds of the city council in its favor.'* In my
opinion, this rule has reference to contracts, by
which it will become necessary in the future to
make appropriations to fulfill, at to an appropria-
tion of money in its usual and well-understood ac-
ceptation. Should Mr. Houlahan do this work, it
will be absolutely necessary to make an appro-
priation to pay him. and if you should refuse, the
courts will compel you so to do, or render » judg-
ment against the city for the amount duo for said
work. Bt-lieving; that there should have been
eight votes for Mr. Houlahan'a bid. and there rot
being that number, I must recommend that his
oetitiou be not granted. Very respectfully-
K. V. DAVIDSON, City Attorney.
The report was adopted.

amount $010, and asking that an appropriation
of *30.50 be made as his compensation for the
above collections. Adopted, and appropria-
tion made.
The following communication of the board
af health was read, and referred to the com-
mitter on streets and alleys with power to
act:
Office of the Bcahd of Health, Galveston,
June sJl, —To the Hon. Mayor and Alder-
men Galveston City Council: " In accordance
ith provisions of tho charter and ordin-
ances of the citv, I have directed the
parties engaged in the removal of privy offal
to deposit the same for the western part of the city
into the bay at the foot of Thirty-seventh street;
and for the eastern portion of the city to deposit
the contents of the privies into the channel empty-
ing into the bay or gulf, the deposit to be made in
the water between avenues H and I, where there
is a large vacant space unoccupied by buildings
Within the last ten days parttas connected with
the Santa Fe railroad have forbidden the emptying
or' privy offal into the bay within the vicinity or
their property. In order to have a place west of
the Santa Fe railroad roundhouse, the tracks of
tne r? ilroad-^-six or eight traeks—will have to be
bridged so as to enable the carts to cross them, say
about Forty-third street. I am also notified by
parties living in the east end that the dumping of
privy offal into the channel must be stopped.
I therefore respectfully petition your honorable
body that a crossing ovtr the railroad tracks for
the passage of carts be mai eat Forty-third street,
west, or that the carts with privy offal be permitted
to empty their contents into the channel in front of
the wharf at the foot of Twenty-ninth street, using
the wharf for the passage of the carts; and if this
can not be granted, that a properly constructed
furnace for burning privy offal be provided for by
appropi iation by city council. This is a matter of
serious importance to the proper sanitation of the
city, and i respectfully beg that your honorable
body will give it such attention as it merits. Very
respectfully, Clark Campbell, M. D..

The Currie Trial.
LTo the News.l
Galveston, June :-l.—as a citizen of
Texas, (a native to the manor born,) a law-
abiding citizen, opposed to capital punish-
ment upon principle, but always upholding
the statute laws of the state—maintaining
they are laws so long as they are upon the
statutes, and must, and of a right ought to
be, enforced; and above all things, desireus of
seeing this great state fully developed—this
state given to us by the prowess of my imme-
diate ancestry—I am naturally, as a matter
of course, indignant, wounded in feelings and
deeply insulted at the verdict of the state of
Texas vs. Currie, for the murder of the actor
Porter, in the city of Marshall. Two-by-four
politicians, demagogues and office cormorants,
are daily attacking the governor of the state
for his immigration ideas, school ideas, etc.
Now they have more food for their thoughts.
This Currie acquittal going to the country
stamp* it as lawless, and gives immigration a
stab much greater than the cutting ortf of state
aid to immigration. The moral hurt to the im-
migration to our *tate, by the result of this
case of national reputation, can not be com-
puted.
lie w does the accomplished district attorney.
Col. Spiyey, with his co-associate counsel in
the prosecution, feel ? They certainly feel
hat a long life spent in acquiring a knowledge
of the law to enable them to impress it on a
jury, has been lost, and the presumption is
tnat knowing justice will not be done in Har-
rison county, they will enter a nolle pros, in
the State vs. Currie for assault with intent to
kill and murder Mr. Barry more, the State vs.
Currie, for aggravated assault on Miss Cum-
mins, the state against Currie for carrying
concealed weapons, the State vs. Currie, for
using loud, boisterous and profanely indecent
language in a public place, and the city of
Marshall against Curr.e, for discharging fire-
arms in the city limits, and finally will quash
a commission lunatico enquirendo, to see what
can be done for him at the lunatic asylum.
When, by what legislature was a law enacted

The Trial of Currie.
ITo the News.1
The result ot the trial of James Currie for
the murder of Porter, the actor, which occur-
ed at Marshall, about a year ago, falls like a
thunderbolt upon the law-abiding people of
the broad domain of Texas. It is not my pur-
pose to criticise the action of the jury that. :s-
stored the prisoner to liberty, for it is presum-
able that their finding was basad upon strictly
legal grounds, but to deal with a law that is
totally at variance with both human and
divine justice. The releasing of Currie upon
the old plea f temporary insanity may be in
accordance with the letter and spirit or* the
statute defining under what conditions a man,
whose mental faculties have become impaired,
can draw a deadly weapon and laun. h the soul
of a fellow-being into eternity without a
moment's warning, or even the slightest pre-
text of provocation, but it will be a very diffi-
cult matter, indeed, to convince the law-
abiding citizen that such a procedure is found-
ed upon equity.
The history of the crime for which Currie
was arraigned, tried and acquitted, is familiar
to the readers of the News. It was a theme
confined not alone to the people of Texas, but,
on account of its enormity, had become of
national concern. At the time the offense was
committed; a howl of indignation was raised
throughout the country by the norfcue^n
press, and Texas was looked upon as the home
of the desperado, the goat of whese ambition
was in branding women as harlots aud mur-
dering peaceable, unarmed men. The feeling
was warm and bitter; but ot last, when the
excitement had subsided and reason resumed
its sway, the people of the north found conso-
lation in the belief that, though the dead
could not be restored to life, nor the weeping
and mourning relatives of the murdered'vic-
tim be made obiiviotis of the cause of their
sorrow, Texas would unhesitatingly vindicate
her honor, and establish a precedent that
would in the future impart a feeling of securi-
ty to her own citizens, as weii as to the
strangers within her gates. How far these
hopes have been realized, and iu what estima-
tion people abroad hold the criminal jurispru-
dence of Texas, is easy of conjecture.
That the burden of proof was overwhelming
against Currie, it is only necessary to refer to
the evidence as published in the News. But
whether the defendant was justified under th-
plea of insanity for the commission of the deed
for which he was arraigned and acquitted, is a
thesis that will admit of some elucidation. It
might, perhaps, be valuable for future guid-
ance. The accusation that Currie was in an
intoxicated state at the time of the difficulty
was conclusively established, and upon this
fact was based the plea which resulted in his
acquittal. If Currie was really insane, it is
evident that his insanity was superinduced by
preternatural causes, and, according to this
method of reasoning, every man who indulges
in intoxicating liquors can conveniently place
himself in a temporary insane condition and
wreak vengeance upon his fellow-man with
perfeci impunity so far as the law is con
cerned. The only thing necessary to prove
upon a preliminary examination, and which
would necessarilj' be final, would be that
the act was committed while under the
influence of drink, and hence the defendant
would ba immediately turned loose, to receive
the plaudits and congratulations of his rela
tives and friends, and to become afflicted again
with mental deficiency whenever he had an
imaginary wrong tbat needed avenging.
These short and speedy triais would add un
told wealth to the state's depleted coffers,
which could be made to answer the purpose of
a sovereign prophylactic and eradicator of
crime, if judiciously applied to a liberal system
of education for the rising generation. Where
ignorance is fostered, crime is sure to prevail.
It is cheaper to erect school-houses and educate
children than it is to build penitentiaries aud
jails, and engage in the prosecution of crimi-
nals. This is the only true panacea for the
suppression of crime.
1 do not intend this communication as a per-
sonal reflection upon the jury or any one con-
nected with the case alluded to, but"simply to
express a feeling of disapprobation, which
seems to be general, against our defective cri-
minal laws, as they are nothing less than sheer
mockery and a disgraceful travestie upon the
boasted civilization of the nineteenth century.

up one foot to kick side way, and fairly hissed:

An eloquently-dressed young man, with
something very aristocratic in his manner,
was engaged "in posing on the corner of
Market street, for the benefit of the ladies
who might pass along. He was standing within
a few feet of a lemonade stand, the proprietor
of which, in his shirt sleeves, and a straw
hat as big as a cart wheel, was busy trying
with a towel to break up several delegations
of flies, that were trying to get possession of
the sugar bowl to hold a convention in it.
Finally the lemonade man punched the ex-
quisite in the ribs, and said: 41 Now, you want
to exodus away from here. If you stand about
here much longer yon will make people be-
lieve you are the boss of this ere temperance
saloon, and I am only the business manager.
That's what you are standing there putting on

a texas horse trade.
There is a gentleman bv the name of Smith
living in Galveston, who keeps a kind of a liv-
ory stable. Among other horses in his custody,
was a fine bay horse, belonging to Jones. This
horse, in cavorting about the stable-yard, ran
? gainst a wagon and broke his leg. Of course,
Smith was responsible. Ail he had to do was
to send for a policeman, have the animal shot,
and pay Jones about $60, the value of the ani-
mal. Smith notified the policeman, and start-
ed out to see Jones, and inform him officially
about the accident. Now, Smith is consider-
able of a wag. Happening to meet Brown, ae
asked if Brown did not want to buy a horse.
It had been tho dream of Jones's life to sit be-
hind a horse of his own and call out44 g'lang! "
He wanted a cheap horse, and one that was
safe, so that when Smith put the question to
him. Jones replied: *4,"May be so; if you have
the right kind of a horse. ~ Is he a steady, quiet
horse {"
'' He is the quietest horse you over saw."
4i Won't bite or kick, and is not likely to run
away ?"
44 If he bites, kicks or runs away, I'll give
your money back."
44 Humph," said Brown, 4< what are you ask-
ing for the wonderful animal?"
44 I'll let you have him cheap. He is that fine
bay herse Jones used to own. I'll let you have
him for $21. Give me $1 down, and your uote
for $i0 more, and it is a bargain. I have no
more use for the horse, but I want money right
off."
Brown thought to himself, 44 This is the
golden opportunity. Smith has been tamper-
ing with cotton futures, and is strapped. I'm
sorry for him, but business is business; I am
not his guardian," so he planked down the dol-
lar and gave his note for the balance.
If Brown was pleased with the trade. Smith
wTas till more so. He called to several friends,
aud treated the crowd with the dollar, after
which the procession reformed and marched
down to the stable to see Brown's new pur-
chase. When they got there, the policeman
had already shot the poor brute, and he looked
like all he really needed was an inquest. Brown
looked very much that way himself. He
turned pale and then got red behind the ears.
Then he smiled, but it was not a particularly
healthy smile. Smith tried to help matters;
and as soon as the crowd had quit holding their
sides, he said: 44 Now, Brown, I don't want
you to tell anybodv that I swindled you. I
call on these gentlemen to witness that I've
done the square thing. This is Jones's bay
horse, the identical one that I sold you. I
guaranteed he would not bite nor kick, and
you can't provoke him to run away. I think
iie fills the bill. I want you take him off or
I'll charge you for keeping him."
'* Boys," said Brown, 44 don't give me away.
I know lam not the only fool on Galveston
island. Let's go and hunt for a duplicate, and
I will set em up."
They strolled out and met Robinson.
44 Look here, Robinson, don't you want a
ight good horse at a bargain? I've just bought
Jones's fine bay horse. He cost $G0 originally,
and he is m just the same condition he was
when I got him."
Oh!' said Robinson. 44 times are hard, and
hcrse feed is awful high. A high stepping
horse, like Jones's bay, will eat his head off
in no time."
4* That's where you are fooling yourself. He
eats less than any horse you ever saw. By
thunder, no horse can eat less than he can?"
44 Ain't he a little frisky?"
Brown shook his head and replied: 44 You
are doing that horse injustice. You can tell
by looking at him that he is not that kind of
inimar. I'll let you have him for just what I
;rave for him, twenty dollars, one dollar down,
and your note secured by such men as Heideu-
bcimer for the balance. I've got to have
money."
Robinson thought it was mean to take ad-
vantage of Brown's distress, but then it was
not his lookout. If he was out of his head,
why didn't he have the court appoint him a
guardian. So ha planked down the dollar,
gave the uote, on the condition that the horse
would go iu a wagon.
44 You bet," remarked Brown, 4i he'll go in a
wagon. He wont go in anything else. Come
on, boys, let's spend this dollar."
After they had wiped off their mouths, the
procession reformed, and started to inspect
the animal. Sure enough, three niggers were
lifting him into a wagon.
•4There," said Brown; *41 told you he would
go into a wagon. Don't say I swindled you. He
will eat less than any horse you ever owned.
\ ou will save his value iu horse-feed in two
weeks. Just try and see if he is not gentle.
Tickle him with a straw."
The spectators applauded. Robinson looked
like ho ought to go along with his horse to
keep him in countenance.
In conclusion, it is whispered on the Strand
among the capitalists, that some of the notes
have already passed into the hands of innocent
holders, and as soon as they mature, protests
will bo in order.

Situation it Cahul.
London, June 21.—A dispatch from Cabul
to the Tim#s says: The situation does not
seem to be materially changed, but Abdurman
Khan, if he seriously meditated hostilities, has
changed his mind. Meanwhile, great efforts
are making to collect armed men, to give him
an imposiug force. From his letters and cir-
culars, it is certainly understood by
the people that he is not coming to
Cabul with friendly intentions. If,
however, he accepts the government's
conditions, there is no reason why a satisfac-
tory agreement should not be macie. Harvest
having commenced, it is difficult for the oppo-
sition party to persuade the people to quit their

The New York Sun addresses Hon. Horatio
Seymour in a double-leaded leader as follows:
It must be a proud satisfaction for you to
know that you are probably the first choice of
three millions of the five millions of democratic
voters for president of the United States. And
they would have declared their preference for
you in the several state conventions but for
the belief that you would not accept the nomi-
nation were it given to you. It is true that
you have repeatedly declared that you are not
a candidate for the presidency. It is every-
where known that you do not desire the office.
But it is everywhere believed that the office
desires you. And there is a growing convic-
tion that, under existing circumstances, you
would accept the nomination were it given
you. But you, yourself, must see that the un-
certainty whether you would accept or decline
the nomination is an embarrassment to the
party, and will be a still greater embarrass-
ment to the convention which meets in Cin-
cinnati next week. A national convention
w ill not care to repeat the experience of the
state convention iu ISTti. Under these circum-
stances, honored sir, you will doubtless see
that the interests of the democratic party
override your personal feeling in the matter.
It is everywhere felt among your personal
friends and throughout the party that a posi-
tive declaration whether you would or would
not accept the nomination were it tendered
you would simplify the situation and tend to
produce a harmony which the present uncer-
tainty disturbs. It is a'so due to other emi-
nent men who have been mentioned as candi-
dates, but who would not antagonize you on
any acconnt, to state at your earliest conveni-
ence whether you will allow your name to go
before the convention as a candidate. It is to*
be hoped 3'ou will feel the force of these facts,
and make such an announcement of your final
determination as your own best judgment
shad dictate.

Debate on the Church Rill
Berlin, June 21.—In the Prussian diet to-
day, during the debate on the church bill, herr
Beumg>en said he- and bis friends could not
vote for the fourth article, as they considered
it inadmissible that bishops who had bee a ju-
dicially removed from their dioceses for re
sisttng the laws should be recalled. He was
williug to discuss certain provisions contained
in the first and fifth articles, and in regard to
tbe ninth article, wouid vote for conservative
amendment.
Minister ;von Puttkammer designated the
fourth article as essential point. Tho govern
ment, ha said, was not a! raid of the conse-
quences OH recalling the bishops at present,
when the decision of the housa could not be
prognosticated with any certainty. The gov-
ernment had no cause to abandon any esssn
tial proposals; no conclusions should ba drawn
from the reserved position of the government
until the bill was finally put to a vote.
Deputies Gneist and Virchow opposed the
fourth article, and argued that the recall of
the bishops would be incompatible with the
maintenance of the authority of the state.
Herr Windthorst stated that the vote about
to be given by the center was only conditional
and provisional. He and his friends intended
to vote for the fourth article if the proposi-
tion relating to the duty of notifying ecclesias-
tical appointments was expunged.
Kerr Stingel's proposition—viz: the duty
of the bishops to notify appointments—was
adopted, and the fourth article was passed in
its new form by a vote of 252 to 150.

The Amnesty Rill Passed.
Paris, June 21.—The chamber of deputies
has passed the amnesty bill by a vote of 333
to 140.
M. de Cassagnac attacked the bill.
M. Gambetfca said the bill was not the work
of any single person, but of a majority. He
claimed, however, a share of the responsibility
therefor. M. Frinquet's election, he said, could
not have any ulterior consequence. It was
necessary to grant the amnesty as long as pos-
sible before elections, in order that it should
not be turned to account to hostile parties.
The fete of the 14th July would restore the
nation the flags which had been shamefully
abandoned. A tombstone must be placed over
crimes of the commune.
The chamber rejected an amendment of
B^rthe of the left center, excluding from am-
nesty all persons guilty of crimes against com-
mon law. It was resolved that M. Gambetta's
speech be placarded in all communes. The
bureaus of the deputies elected a committee to
examine the amnesty bill, all meniheis of
which were favorable thereto.
M. Andveia, prefect of police, at the sitting
of the bureau, said when amnesty was an ac-
complished fact it would be the duty of the
government to act firmly towards communists.
The government had not proposed amnesty
from any feeling of favor to tne communists,
but rather from motives of hostility to them.

cers of the steamer Narragansett as cowards.
Capt. Young, who sat in front of the pulpit,
arose and said anyone who made such a charge
was a liar. He was conducted to the first pre-
cinct station-house by #ne of the trustees,
charged with disorderly conduct, and locked
up to answer the charge.
Old vi. Youiie Democracy*
ITo the News.l
Austin. Texas, June 15, 1880.—We have
heard so much in the last few months of the
44 Young Democracy vs. Old Democracy," that
a few lines on this subject mi^ht not be unin-
teresting to your readers. We shall mainly
apply our remarks to national matters, for the
various articles on this subject have been in-
tended to operate against Seymour
and other parties who are well ad-
vanced in years, being nominated
for president. Every sensible thinking person
knows that all such are meaningless, or only
a species of political clap-trap. jJfo one will
deny that, occasionally, in the world's history,
prodigies, or notedly precocious characters
lave arisen, and acquired eminence at a very
youthful age, but these are the exceptions and
not the rule.
Alexander had conquered the world at a lit-
tle past thirty years of age, and Napoleon was
a conqueror and at the head of the French na-
tion at about the same age. Jefferson became
a leader of the continental congress, and Clay
became speaker of congress at a little past
thirty. Calhoun and Breckenridge reached
the vice-presidency when only a few years
older, and a few persons became president
under fifty, yet hundreds and thousands have
not gained these honors or acquired their
greatest distinction and usefulness until nearly
twice the age of these exceptional characters.
A brief review of the history of our country
and some others may serve to expose the
fallacious teachings of our would-be reformers.
The great adage of the world, from time im-
memorial, has been 4 4 Old men for counsel—
young men for war." Our fathers in forming
our government with the lights cf history and
personal experience before them, established
minimum ages for the incumbents of the most
important positions in the government, in or-
der to guard against the inexperience of youth.
The president and vice-president of our coun
try are required to be thirty-five years of age,
senators thirty and representatives in congress
twenty-five. Ail the states have likewise es-
tablished minimum ages, the greater number
requiring their governors to be thirty years of
age and senators from twenty-four to thirty.
In our country, where talents have full op-
portunities for recognition and promotion, few-
parties reach any of the positions just referred
to until many real's older than the required
ages in our organic laws. Very few become
L nited States senators before forty or repre-
sentatives before thirty.
Since the organization of our government we
have had nineteen presidents and nineteen vice-
presidents, or twenty-four of the latter, count-
ing the ex officio vice-presidents. Of the pres-
idents only about four have reached the posi-
tion before fifty j'ears old, and not over this
number have been regular candidates for the
place and defeated before this age. The
youngest president was Gen. Grant, elected at
forty-six; the Hext was Frank. Pierce, who be-
came president at forty-eight; Jas. K. Polk, at
forty-nine; Hayes about the same age, and
Tyler and Fillmore at fifty. Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were sixty
vears old during their first terms, and sixty-
Iwo when elected the second time. Gen. Jack-
son was sixty-two when elected the first time
and seventy when he retired from the place.
John Adams was sixty-one when elected pres-
ident; his son, John Quincv, was sixty during
bis term. Gen. Taylor was sixty-four, ana
Gen. Harrison sixty-eight when elected.
Buchanan was sixty-six; Andy Johnson fifty-
six. Lincoln was fifty-six when elected the
second time; and Van Buren was fifty-four
when elected, fifty eight when he ran in 1840,
and sixty-six in 1S48.
Taking 55 years as the dividing line between
the old and tne young presidents, there have
been ubout one-third under this age, and two-
thirds over it.
The younger presidents may nearly all be
termed accidental or compromise chief execu-
tives, and not selected particularly owing to
their great talents or experience in political life.
Grant was elected as the successful commander
of the union armies, and without any civil
training. Polk, Pierce and Ha3'es were compro-
mise men in the battles over the old and expe-
rienced leaders of their respective parties. Ty-
ler, Fillmore and Johnson became presidents
by the death of their chiefs.
Which of ail these administrations were
most noted for force or popularity, or whose
administrations were in the most trying times
of oar history? All would say Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe Jackson, Taylor,
eta
Of the young presidents Grant was the great-
est failure. The administration of Hayes,
though respectable is not verv remarkable.
Pierce's aud Fillmore's, respecta'ble. The only
ones of the younger presidents that accom-
plished much and have become conspicuous in
our history are those of Polk and Lincoln.
Of the unsuccessful aspirants Crawford,
Clay, Bell, Cass, etc., were nearly ail sixtv or
over; the latter was past sixty-live when he
ran in 1848. Clay was under fifty when he
ran in 1S24, but sixty-seven when he ran as
the great leader of h:s party in 1844, and past
seventy when he was before the whig conven-
tion in 1848.
Of the vice presidents, Breckenridge, Cal-
houn and Burr were the youngest reaching
this place. John Adams, Jefferson and Andy
Johnson were past fifty when elected viee
president. Tyler and Van Buren were fifty
when elected. Gen. Clinton, Wm. R. King
and Wilson were past sixty when elected to
this position, some of them being near seventy.
The office of secretary of state has always
stood at the head of cabinet positions, and has
been a great stepping-stone to the presidency.
Out of the nearly thirty secretaries of state
in the history of our government, only five or
six have reached the position before 50 years
of age. The most noted of these were Jeffer-
son, Marshall, Clay and Van Buren. Some of
the most noted persons filling this place held the
office after 60, as Calhoun, Webster, Marcy,
Cass and Seward—Webster, Cass and Seward
holding the position when near 70—Gen. Cass
being over 75 when he retired from the office.
The same facts are true in the main as to near-
ly ail the other cabinet positions.
Some of the most prominent of the signers
of the declaration of independence were over
50, as Samuel Adams, Roger Snerman and Dr.
Feanklin, the latter being 70. The most dis-
tinguished of the presidents of the continental
congress were past 50 years of age, as Peyton
Randolph, Henry Laurens and Richard Henry
Lee.
In state politics, we find the same facts also
mainly existing. Gov. Biackburn, of Ken-
tucky, is said to be seventy; ex-Gov. Garcelon,
the oack-bone governor of Maine, is said to be
about the same age; ex-Gov. Robertson, of
New York, was over seventy; ex-governors
Tiiden and Clinton, of the same state, were
over sixty; Gov. Phelps, of Missouri, and Mc-
Clelian, of New Jersey, are over sixty; Gov.
Roberts, of our state, is abuut sixty-five. The
governors of the different states are oftener
over forty-five than under it. Then let us
glance abroad for a moment at other countries:
Beaconsfield 13 seventy years old, and his suc-
cessor, Gladstone, is seventy; President Thiers,
of France, and her most popular president,
was an old man, and Bismarck, tha most noted
politician in Europe, is getting old. The his-
tory of the world snows that the most useful
and successful public men were those past the
meridian of life. Solomon, though youu°r, was
said to be the wisest of ali the lungs of Israel,
and the most noted in his day, but behold his
f ollies and vanities. Who will compare Ids
acts with those of his plain old lather, king
David? The proverbs show for the wisdom, as
well as th3 follies, of the first, and the Psalms
disclose the glory and goodness of the latter.
And so on ad infinitum.

WEA.THER AND CROPS.
Brazoria Independent: Crops never looked
better than we saw them on our late trip to
Wharton. We were shown cotton bolls as
large as small-sized hen eggs by Dr. Phillips
J ere. Warren, Esq.. informs us that crops.
wherever he has been, look well. He says there
are 800 persons living between the Masterson
sugar house and the lower line of the precinct,
all surrounded by splendid crops, tho best he
ever saw.
Bastrop Advertiser: The weather for the
past week has been terribly hot Rain is
badly needed in many portions of the county,
and if it does not come in a few davs some of
the corn will not make nubbins. Something
over half the farms in the county, however,
have had excellent rains, and the crops look
well.
Gonzales Inquirer: Reports from all over
the county show the crops to be better than
they have been for years.
McKinney Advocate: The web worm is
still depredating on cotton fields in different
parts of the county. Soma farmers, however.
contend that they will not do much harm
The continued wet weather materially embar-
rasses our farmers, who are anxious to house
their grain and clean their cotton Some
farmers have not chopped out all of their large
cotton crops.
Rusk Observer: The irains of the past
month have been of immense benefit to the
corn crop. All agree that every farming
prospect is very encouraging.
A letter from Caney, in Matagorda county,
says: Prospects are betccr for a fine cotton
arid corn crop than for many years past. A
great deal of corn is already too hard for
roasting or boiling.
Gatesville Sun: Cotton is too far advanced to
be damaged to any grerft extent by the care-
less worm. The prospects are that there will
be more corn raised in Coryell county this
year than our tarmers will know what to do
with.
San Diego (Duval county) Tribune: The
heavy rain which fell on Tuesday last was a
great blessing. Splendid rains all last week.
Ci-ofls looking fine and good grazing abundant.
Bonham (Fannin county) News: Cotton
worms have made their appearance and are
doing considerable damage in several neigh-
borhoods of this county. Tlie prevailing opin-
ion seems to be that it'is not the regular army
worm, but a sort of striped caterpillar known
as the 44careless worm.''
Texas Farmer: Prospects of a good corn and
cotton crop in every town and county of
Texas. _
ZIVE STOCK NOTES,
Gonzales Inquirer: Stock are being annoyed
and injured by screw worms. We heard one
gentleman remark that he had over a hundred
head of cattle Thus affiicted in his pasture.
Tvler Democrat: It is estimated that about
two-thirds of tha cattle of this county have
been purchased by cattle men in the last two
v ears, and driven west.

HOUSTON HAPPENINGS.
*▲ good deed.
Houston, June 2L—This forenoon a woman
who, from her mien aud dress was evidently
poor, needy and suffering, appealed to Messrs.
Clemow Bros, to advance her a small sum
upon an ancient coin which she exhibited. It
was a Bohemian piece, bearing date 1619. Mr.
Neise Clemow. who met her, refused to take it
but advanced her money to buy medicine w ith,
and forthwith headed a subscription list for a
raffle of tbe coin. In an hour and a half he
obtained twenty-three dollars, which was
placed in tho poor woman's hands. This is
charity. The coin is to tie raffled for to-night.
general notes.
Mr. Thos. C. Haggart, of New Orleans, is in
the city.
Col. Jed., Waldo has agreed to take the lead-
ing part in the coming rendition of the Doctor
ot Alcantara, but insists that he shall do it in
Spanish. Talk there is that this stubbornness
may break up the treat of the presentation of
the opera; but your reporter is not inclined to
believe such a stop is seriously contemplated.
The News through its Happenings, some
two months ago, mentioned the proposition
that was then being advocated on a small
scale, to have a series of open-air concerts. At
that time Prof. Lindenberg's name was men-
tioned in connection with the matter. Noth-
ing came of it, and your correspondent not
desiring to run after "dead issues, said nought
of its demise. But latterly it has fallen into
living hands; Mrs. Jordan has taken hold of it
and has worked it to that degree of success
that it is announced the first concert will be
given at the fair grounds next Thursday even-
ing. This is report—your reporter can not
state it by authority, for owing to a criticism
he once made (which was never published) he is
not admitted into the inner circle. However,
this he can say, that from the list maue up Le
feels assured that the summer night festivals
at the fair grounds will bo elegant affairs.
Two or three weeks ago the News had a
mention in this column that Mr. Joseph Eng
lander, of Houston, had drawn $1250 in the
Royal Saxony lottery. Mr. Englander this
morning received the pleasant news that he
had again drawn first 200 marks and then 5000
marks, equal, in all, to about $1300 in our
money. Mr. E. has thus made a suug sum out
of his adventure, for the which many friends
will congratulate him.
Major Quinlan, assistant superintendent of
the Houston and Texas Central at Corsieana,
is in the city. He and the officers here are fig-
uring on a change of time, which if made will
probably go into effect next Sunday.
The Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry will
pass through here in the morning, en" route
from the west to Yankton, Dakota territory.
From here they go via the International aud
Great Northern to St. Louis, and then<:e by
the Wabash and Pacific to their destination.
This is the command recently relieved from
service on the frontier.
The street force employes to cleanse the out-
skirts w^U be^in work in"the morning. If they
will take Walker street, from Jackson to Main,
for a starter, they will not only find a field
ripe for the harvest, but they will also confer
a favor on many good citizens and prevent
more than one first-rate basis for summer sick-
ness.
The bans of marriage between Mr. J. W.
McMillan and Miss Maud Massio were first
published in the catholic church yesterday.
The ceremony is set for the early days of J uly.
[N. B.—Your correspondent is going to catch
the devil for this, but his excuse must be that
he went to hear father Henuessy yesterday.]
The Texas Central track is now laid several
miles beyond Morgan.
The Cincinnati convention has absorbed all
the interest of Houston politicians. At the
same time, but little money is being advanced
on favorites.
The criminal court meets to-morrow, when
the casee of Dunn, for murder, and Mrs. Bul-
lock, for assault with intent to murder, will
be called.
The medical examining board for this coun-
ty meets on the 29th inst.
The storm which passed over this city yes-
terday, uprooted several trees and blew down
one or two chimneys, beyond which no dam-
age was done.
A man named Echols appeared in the city
this evening, claiming to have sent a load of
green corn into town in care cf two men who
had been working for him, and that they had
evaporated with both his corn and the two
animals attached to his wagon. It certainly
was a strange proceeding.
B'Nai Brith election, held yesterday, result-
ed as follows: For president, Sol. Rosenfield;
vice president, S. Kottswiltz; secretary, E.
Schoen; treasurer, A. Cramer; warden, Jos.
Edmunds: guardian, A. Raphael; installing
officer, John Reichman. The installation of
these officers takes piace on the 4th of July.
Prof. Clopper lett this morning for Cincin-
nati, Ohio.
Messrs. Watson, Masters, Owens and Bur-
ton, of the Texas and New Orleans, went out

passed through tlie stocking may account for
the apparent failure to inject the "usual amount
