To Persons Desiring Information
About Texas*
The News is in daily receipt of letters from
different sections—often covering small re-
mittances—asking for the Texas Almanac,
particular information of seme special place
or general description of the State. Since the
liscontinuance of the Texas Almanac the
News has made a specialty of State news,
which embraces articles descriptive of the
different counties, resources, products, man-
ufactures, schools, churches, etc., from which
much more satisfactory knowledge may be
obtained than from any annual volume, how-
ever elaborate and complete. The practice is
becoming general, when information Is desired
from citizens of the State by parties abroad,
to send copies of the Daily or Weexly News in
lieu of any of the annual publications. The in-
formation afforded through the News has the
advantage of being fresh, concise and authen-
tic, and is afforded cheaper than through any
other source. It is suggested to persons,
whether in the State or out of it, who wish to
become acquainted with the characteristics
of the counties of Texas, value of lands, pro-
ducts. markets, condition of schools, society,
etc., that by subscribing to the Daily or
Weekly News, they may obtain all they re-
quire, in the most readable and reliable form,
and A,* less expense than by any other means.

BELL COUNTY.
Journal: Last Saturday as Mr. Challis, the
jai'er, was seeing to the^sanitary condition of
t>ie jail, he had occasion to order a negro
man, who was a prisoner, to go into the jail
yard to a well after a bucket of water. The
n#»gro, on his return to the door, instead of
walking in, put his bucket on the ground and
closed the door on Challis, who immediately
called to his brother in-law to come dewn
stairs and open the door, which was done, but
not until the negrro had scaled the wall and
left. Ha was immediately pursued by Mr
Challis, and overtaken about a mile from
town. He immediately attacked Challis, who
hurled limestone rocks at him thick and fast
until he had knocked him down the fifth time.
He was then brought to town, had his wounds
dressed, and put in jail again. He is charged
with horEe-^tealicg.

Many farmers are through sowing oats, and
some few have planted early corn The
wheat crops are looking flne and more for-
ward at thi« season than for years past. The
prospect is good now for a very large yield.
JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Beaumont Lumheiwan: Improvement Is the
order cf the day. and all about us we see signs
of prosperity and thrift—The mill-owners of
Beaumonr, Texas, desire correspondence,
with a view of opening an export lumber and
shingle trade with the West Indies, South and
Central America, Atlantic ports of the United
States, and all accessible ports of Europe.
Our timber consists of the best quality of yel-
low pine, such as will compare favorably with
that of Fior'da or any other pine timber.
We also have large quantities of the best
quality of cypress timber, best of ash, and
very best of white oak. Our supply of pine
timber is inexhaustible, and we are not
trouble d with any government lands or the
want of snow storms to supply our mills with
Joes... Beaumont is situated about fifty miles
from fhe G ilf of Mexico, and is convenient
and accessible to one of the best anchorages
on the gulf co«at.. at Sabine Pass, where the
largest ships can bo loaded at a very reason-
able cost by lighterage direct from our mills
with tugs and barges, the iiehteraere being
dp^e l/ieid^the outer bar.
KINNEY COUNTY.
Bracket correspondent of the 8an Antonio
II-raid: In all the mountain country from
here toward Stockton are numerous caves,
which contain unknown quantities of bat
gu ino. No attempt has ever been made to as-
c-rtain the extent of these deposits, and no
attention seems to have been given the sub-
ject. By referring to page 49 of the Agricul-
tural Report for 1876, it will be seen that this
bat guano is worth $15 to $18 per ton. Tbe
analy.-e* made by the department show the
samples to be rich in organic *.ter. Some
Jivo Yankee will some day come in here and
and make a fortune out of these old caves
All our merchants and mechanics appear to
be doingjvell. Everybody who really wants
work can find it, at reasonable wages.
MARION COUNTY.
Col. Sam F. Moseley, an old and distinguish-
ed lawyer of the Jefferson bar, departed this
life at 3 o'clock on the morning of February
23, at his residence near Jefferson, Texas. He
' had been a successful lawyer, as also a legis-
lator and editor.
MADISON COUNTY.
Plain-Dealer: Peach trees are now in full
bloom, and if there is no set-back from cold
weather we will no doubt have an abundant
fruit crop. ...Corn-planting has commenced
in our county, and several of our farmers
nave already finished — Owing to the very
hard times and busy farmers not much trade
is going on in our town at present The
weather for the past week has been very
pleasant, and everybody is busy in farms and
gardens... We think that by the last of this
month old Madison eounty can boast of as
complete a court-house (although not as large)
as any county in the State.
RED RIVER COUNTY.
The cotton crop of Red River county will
aggregate 15,COO bales.

REPUDIATED.
Ttoe Chairman of the County Dem-
ocratic) Executive Committee De-
nies the Bight of Republicans to
select Candidates for the Democ-
racy.
Galveston, March 5, 1878.
Eds Netos—ln Tuesday morning's
issue of the News it is reported that
in the aldermanic election of yesterday
four of tbe Democratic nomiuee3 were
elected and two defeated, and the name
of Mr. Hugo Brosig is given as one of
the latter. Allow me to say that the
relations of Mr. Brosig to the canvass
are misapprehended, if it is supposed
that Democrats have any occasion to
regret his defeat. He was not chosen
by them, and did not in any sense re-
present them. They have not been
able to understand how persons meet-
ing together, and organizing under Re-
publican officers and nominating a Re-
publican candidate, can by that simple
process invest that candidate with
legitimacy as a Democratic leader. In
such case it seems that the Democrats
of the Third Ward have felt themselves
safer to repudiate the candidate so at-
tempted to be manufactured for them,
and vote for his adversary, Mr. Runge,
of whom they, at least, knew that he
already represented them by election a3
a Democrat in pursuance of a Demo-
cjatic nomination.
F. Charles Hume,
Chairman Co. Dem. Ex. Com.
The following from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Sun
is directly contradictory of the asser
tions of the Secretary of the Treasury:
John Sherman wrote a letter a few days
ago, which was published in the Phila-
delphia Times, in which he said that he
has received letters from Mrs. Jenks
and Joseph E. Anderson, in which they
say that they never asserted that he
wrote a letter to the supervisors of reg-
istration for the parishes of East and
West Feliciana, promising them re-
wards if they made protests which
would enable the Louisiana Returning
Board to throw out the votes of those
two parishes. I am authorized by Jo-
seph E. Anderson to say that Sherman's
statement is false. Further, I am au-
thorized by the attorney of Joseph E.
Anderson, Mr. Sypher, of Philadelphia,
tQ say that he has the evidence, docu-
mentary and otherwise, to prove that
John Sherman did write a letter to Jo-
seph E. Anderson and D. A. Weber, in
which he promised them political re-
wards if they would make certain pro-
tests. And further, Mr. Sypher is
ready, before the proper tribunal, to
make good this offer. The letter which
was written to John Sherman by Mrs.
Jenks does not say that she never said
that he wrote such a letter, but that she
has not now in her possession such a
letter, and that she never authorized
any one to say that she had such a let-
ter.
A Globe-Democrat Washington dis
patch, of the 23d ult., says the recent
outrages committed upon American
fishermen by the Canadians have been
a subject of careful consideration at the
Department of State. Upon the facts
ascertained from official quarter*, it is
estimated that the United States have a
stronger case than was anticipated, even
from the newspaper accounts. The re-
cent award of the Fishery commission
of some five millions, in the adjustment
of damages by American citizens to the
fishery interests of Canadians in Cana-
dian waters, it is thought, though re
garded as excessive, would add vastly to
the suspension of these interminable and
often serious disputes. It is now pro-
posed, however, to withhold the pay-
ment of this sum until absolute assur-
ances are received that American fisher-
men will not be molested in the exer-
cise of the privileges and immunities
guaranteed by the treaty of Washing-
ton, as respects the taking of fish in
those waters.
Beecher made the late pope the sub-
ject of prayers and a sermon. In his
peroration to the latter, he said: " 8uch
was the dear, good old man who has
just gone to heaven, who lived s» pure
a Christian with an archaic system
which seems to us to overpower and
smother all religion. Yet how simply
he bore himself, with what sweetnes3
of life, with what unaffected piety,
with what good wishes toward all; and
when he died God's angels bore him, as
gently as a mother bears her child, into
the presence of his Saviour—not be-
cause he was the pope, but because a
new heart had been given to Him whose
nature Was to love. Such a maD, though
he had been under the ban of excom-
munication and ecclesiastical condem-
nation, alone in a dungeon and hated
as a heretic, would have prayed for his
persecutors, and been conveyed by
blessed angels to heaves."

N'KWR OFFICE, I
Tuesday Et^nino. March 5, 1S78. [
The banks were all closed to-day, and the
Cotton Exchange suspended operations at
noon.
The telegrams as completed to-night supply
the usual details of the movement at all ports
The Liverpool market is firm, and Manchester
reports an improvement in trade.
Gold has declined to 101^4 at New York, and
U. S. 5 203 have advanced to 107^ in the Lon-
don market. Silrer is quoted at a sharp de-
cline in London.
Thers was no official report issued by th*
Cotton Exchange to-day, nor did any of the
committees make any revision of quotations.
In the general market there was a fair busi-
ness done, and in the dry goods department
sales were better than they have been for
some time past, but they did not equal antici-
pations. In all other branches the movement
was light.
Values in the provision market are general-
ly weaker but without any appreciable de-
cline.
In the grain market oats are easy and corn
firm. The former sold in bulk at 37c., and
corn is held at 47c. for white mixed.
Hay is in moderate supply, and gales have
transpired at $1@1 50 advance.
Potatoes are higher, and late in the day 1C00
bbls Western sold from landing to arrive at
$2 25 per barrel.
The principal business houses closed at ar
earlier hour than usual, and the day was al-
most a half holiday.
COTTON.
The doors of the Cotton Exchange remained
open until noon to day, but no reports were
mads by any of the quotation committees.
The telegrams showed a firm market for
spot in Liverpool and arrivals were higher.
Futures advanced at New York and spot re-
mained steady. There was no report from
New Orleans.
The receipts at th6 ports were large and ex-
ceeded yesterday's estimates. The total is
nearly three times as large as rLat of the
corresponding Tuesday last v „ar, which was
not "Mardi-Graa."
The clearances to-das Inot counted in the
statement appended include the cargoes of
the two barks for Liverpool and one for
Reval. The exports from all American ports
