According to the Brenham Yolk lote
the people of that little town take a
great deal of interest in their local free
schools. It says:
On Saturday, the 9th of August, an elec-
tion of the tax-] avers will be hekl in our
city to determine the question whether or
not the city staal 1 levy a tax «>t" three eighths
of one per cent, for support of the schools.
The citizens of Brenham for four years
past have experienced the benefits to be
derived from a well-regulated system of
free schools, an 1 we have often maintained
that the question of maintaining the
school* might safely ue intrusted in tiie
hands of the intelligent citizens of the
place, without any particular effort being
made to re-all or describe the blessings
and advantages we have enjoyed from tiie
school. The rising generation itself is the
best witness in behalf of the free schools.
The only danger to the schools is to be
found in the apathy of a few, and hence
we hold it to be our duty to call their at-
tention to the fact that it requires a two-
thirds majority to secure the adoption of
the proposition to levy the tax. No citi-
zen, v. L.ose own better nature makes him a
friend of the free schools should neglect to
vote sn accordance with his convictions,
thereby insuring a victory and rendering
defeat impossible. Do not forget the 9th
of August, and do not fail to be on hand
and cast your vote.
The German press of the state is not
very ardent in advocating the strict en-
forcement of the Sunday law. The
Houston German Gazette says:
The Sunday law comes upon us like a
thief at night, am! the question is now:
What good does it do for anybody? It
does not help the church people, for it doet
not fill the empty pew-* The law is tyranni-
cal, infamous, gotten up for the benefit of
a clas3. and is promotive of secret drink-
ing and the meanest kind of espionage. It
does not even produce that babbath still-
ness and quiet that were expected, where
there are more drunken men and disturb-
ances than ever before on Sunday.
The Brenham Volksbote observes on
the same subject:
Last Sunday the new Sunday law went
into effect. The new law is merely the
old law with a keen edge on it, and is de-
signed to trip up the poor man in his
efforts to amuse and refresh himself on
that day, and convert him into a repent-
ant sinner. The rich man can, of course,
have his wines and other alleviations at
home, and is not interfered with. Among
those few who are excepted from the
workings of the law are the apothecaries,
who can sell prescriptions and such drugs
as they see fit, hence the opium-eater can
procure the material he requires to get
drunk on. A great many aphothecaries
keep brandy on hand also. Whoever has
money enough to buy a quart of spirits is
prepared to tide over the emergency. The
laboring man. on the other hand, who
would like to drink his glass of beer on
^Sunday afternoon, is prohibited from do-
"iiflLso. He can regale himself with cold
"water if he don't want to get a drink from
the drug store. We see by reports from
San Antonio, for instance, that no atten-
tion is paid to the law, and nobody has
any objection to raise. In other cities
they go around the law by the back door.
It is to be hoped the law will remain a
dead letter until some sensible legislature
J>uts it out of its misery.
The Houston German■ Gazette does
not belong to the extreme bourbon
branch of the democracy—at least such
is the inference that may be drawn
from the following brief editorial:
The democrats of Texas are not very
likely to go into the next political cam-
paign with quite as much assurance of an
easy victory as has been the case for the
icist six years. If they do they must be
struck with blindness not to perceive the
dangers that threaten them. There is in
the first place their position on the school
question, and then there are other mea.
ures savoring of a reactionary policy,
among them the famous, or rather infa-
mous, Sunday law. The fact that while
there is no election excitement prevailing
at all, thousands are going over to the
greenbackers, must show the democracy
how dissatisfied the great mass of the peo-
ple are with the democracy. Even Dallas
county, which used to be staunchly demo-
cratic may be counted as lost to the de-
mocracy. It is certainly not the principles
of the greenback party that fill up its
ranks. No. it is not. that, but it is the
knowledge that the democracy is working
to demoralize the people, and is reaction-
ary in its tendencies that cause them to
refuse to belong to it any more. These
deserters do not care where they go.
They would just as lief go over to the re-
publicans if the republican party had not
(in another manner, however) also made
itself detested.
The Columbus Citizen puts in a plea
for the old alcalde:
The Citizen has, in the main, supported
the administration of governor Roberts,
thinking he is an honest man, and acting
well for the interests of the state. He has
doubtless committed errors, to which all
are liable, but we believe the course he has
pursued has won the confidence of the peo-
ple, and that with the yoemanry of the
country he is stronger to-day than when
elected. But he has been opposed by a
very larue portion of the Texas press,
some of them possessing high standing and
great ability. Ke has been heralded as the
enemy of public free schools, while in
reality favoring them; and, using this as a
ba*e, he has ber n routdly abused for any
number of deficiencies and shortcomings.
The press has treated the governor unjust-
ly ; he has not merited the storm of abuse
hurled at him. No objection is to be urged
to a fair criticism of Gov Roberts's ad-
ministration by the state press. His acts
are public, and he is a public man: but we
believe in " rendering unto Cfesar the
things thnt are Caesar's," and of giving to
the governor his just deserts, without
snatching up every ineonsidered trifle to
distort into a fault through which to cover
the administration with obloquy.
With respect to the many worthy
gentlemen who stand ready to step into
cenator Maxey's shoes the same papsr
jsavs:
The Citizen places itself upon record as
an advocate of Hon. S. B. Maxev as his
own successor. He has made an honest
public servant, prompt in duty to the in-
terests of his constituency, and*always on
band for the performance of that duty. A
jsenator acquires more influence among his
colleagues the longer he is retained in that
position, and we see no necessity for a
^change where a public servant has actc^d
♦well his part.
' The Belton Cowritr does not join in
the general denunciation by the press of
the new Sunday law. That paper says.:
I The Sunday law meets with little favor
in the large towns of Texas. Of course
this disappoints no one. The just observ-
ance of the law, however, v. i.i prove a
blessing finally.
The Cameron Sen'.incl says in refer,
ence to senator Maxey:
All know where he stands, and there is
co democrat who is afraid to trust him. It
does not often turn out -ell when new, un-
tried men are substituted for those who
iave been tried and proven to be true.
The Brenham Sentinel goes the whole
figure in favor of the Sunday law, say-
ing:
It is due the sixteenth legislature that
the various counties and cities of Texas
meet at some convenient time and place
in their respective limits and pass a vote
Of thanks to them for the Sunday law.
There should lie no half-way measure in
this matter. The advocates of this law are
servants of God—the revilers of the law
are the servants of the Devil! This is the
issue.
A correspondent of the same paper
opens a communication on the same
subject with the words: "Of the Gal-
veston Ivews every Texan is justly
proud, ami I, in common with thous-
ands read it every day, Sundays exempt-
ed, with great pleasure." The writer
ends with the exclamation:
"Moral suasion1' in religion! Yes; but
this is not sufficient to protect society
(".gainst cupidity and passion, and crimes
against nature, else why any laws at alli
Open confession is good for the soul.
Let all who believe it is a sin to read
secular papers on Sunday, and whf> are
in favor of compelling people to observe
religious ceremonics, be equally frank
with the Sentinel and its correspondent.
The San Antonio Express says of the
attempt to have Abe Rothschild admit-
ted to bail until the appellate court sits
in October:
"We sincerely hope the judge will not add
insult to the injury done Texas in connec-
tion with this ease by turning R.othschild
loose. We have too recent and too great
an example of the effect on the people of
that course of proceedings.
The allusion is evidently to the late-
assassination at Seguin, in supposed re
taliation of a previous one. Jt can not
be denied that the lax enforcement of
the laws in criminal cases often leads to
new crimes. Regarding the question
Whether Sunday newspapers ate pro-
hibited under the Sunday law, tiie Ex-
press says:
Newspapers are not a necessity on Sun-
4a vs. Neither is bread and meat. Almost
bi v one could go a day without eat.ng,
End suffer little more annoyance than the
average citizen deprived of his newspaper
en Sundav would. Next we may hear
if someliody raising the question as to
whether religious services are a necessity
In Sunday. A minister proaches for pay,
why not mstill enough religious sentiment
mnto his congregation during the week to
Viast over Sunday? It would be unwise to
" interfere with the preachers and newspa-
pers in the prosecution of their good wont
' on any day of the week.
The San Antonio Express says the
News suggests some perplexing com-
plications iu connection with the ap-
pointment of senator Hobby as judge of
(he new thirty-first district, but adds:
We hope a liberal construction will be
placed on the constitution and that Hobby
will be allowed to assume the ermine. We
are sorry that there are not moie judge-
ships to confer on the anti-school, anti-pro-
gressive members of the governor's party,
so as to .,et them "shelved'* and taken
out of the way, where they will have no
influence on state legislation. If the gov-
ernor will appoint himself to some judge-
ship no protest will be raised by the Ex-
press.
"No more of that." Some scheming
lawyers have been charged with help"
ing to make the o. a. governor in order
o get rid of him as judge.
The new Sunday law is likely to lead
to an exhaustive discussion of the ques-
tion of the proper observance of the
Sabbath. Referring to the fact of the
introduction of Sunday excursion boats
in New York devoted to religious ex-
ercises, the Waco Examiner says:
The Sabbath is a day of rest in a re-
ligious sense, but rest does not imply a
cessation from motion. Rest to a man in
constant activity during the week, may
consist in repose, while rest to a man sit-
ting at a desk all the week may consist in
activity on the Sabbath. An excursion
may be a rest to the denizens of a city,
and to worship on a swiftly gliding boat
might be piety. If cessation of motion be
the biblical rest intended by the Sabbath,
then the Sabbath is broken by the Creator
himself, for be keeps the streams running
and the earth whirling, and all nature
moving with its work, doing activity.
The State Gazette reports that the
commission of veterans have concluded
that there are seventy or eighty veterans
entitled to the 640 acres of land, possi-
bly more. The commissioners have ig-
nored the work of the photographers.
The State Gazette is a democratic
journal of the strictest sort, yet it can
not help seeing what is good and bad in
different parties. Speaking of republi-
cans and democratic rule in Texas since
the war, it says:
The mechanic's tools, implements of hus-
bandry and the printer's type under a
radical constitution were exempt from
taxation, but the new constitution crushed
them in its utter disregard of right, and
even went so far as to enter the smoke-
house of the farmer and tax his daily sub-
sistence. Oppression and burthensome tax-
ation have followed,as a consequence of the
impracticable and costly character of the
new organic law, and class legislation suc-
ceeded that has brought reproach upon the
country. The corruptions of a radical
legislation were exposed to the anathema of
the world, but it was insisted that demo-
cratic legislatures were models of honesty
and sincerity. We can not pause
to compare the record of the fif-
teenth with the twelfth legislature, but
he who in his simplicity thinks that the
former is without sin has our sympathy.
Many of the leading democratic politi-
cians of Texas have shown themselves as
destitute of personal honor as of devotion
to high democratic principle. Platforms
have been made to be despised and broken,
and rings formed in legislation from which
large personal gains were to be realized.
If anybody questic is these references we
may be induced to tell tales out of school
that will bring the blush of shame to ev-
ery honest voter hi the state. We can not
and ill not approve of the a tion
of any party that seeks to eive
and impose upon the people. Yl e want
honest, straightforward", fair dealing in
every relation of life, whether private or
public, and then there can be no room for
complaint. We have no heart for a politi-
cal organization that is made up of mere
place-hunters. We want to see the good
and true men of the country come to the
front in advocacy of high principles, and
groveling political hucksters driven to the
wall. Let the ball be set in motion and an
honest, earnest appeal made by the true
democratic press of the country, and all
will be well.
The San Autonio Express is somewhat
antiquated in some of its views, though
generally fully up with the times. It
does not appear to understand the poli-
cy of making everybody rich and ban
ishing work by means of a sufficient
issue of " fiat " paper money, but rather
adheres to the old-fashioned modes of
industry and economy, saying:
Bar-rooms, rather than scarcity of work
or low wages, are responsible for nine-
tenths of the misery among tho poor of
the country. At least four-fifths of the
rich men of this country were the archi-
tects of their own fortunes, and arose
from small beginnings to their present
aJSluence. Had they spent half the best
davs of their manhood standing on the
corners cursing the more thrifty and for-
tunate of their neighbors, and spent a good
portion of their wages for liquor and to-
bacco. thev would have still been in the
position of hundreds of thousands who are
now living from hand to mouth. The
money spent annually by working people
for what is not only not necessary, but a
positive injury to them, would, if saved,
in a few years, with proper investment
make enough to more than half support a
small family, and the labor could go to
make still greater accumulations. Poor
people must economize as well as labor, or
there is little hops of pecuniary advance-
ment in the world.
The Luling Signal is given over to
hardness of heart. It says:
The Echo man says he has published the
paper for several months out of his own
resources, and from the character of the
journal he has issued his readers conclude
that his resources were painfully slim.
The Cuero Bulletin reports a strict
observance of the Sunday law at that
place:
The Sunday law went into practical
effect last Sabbath- The law was strictly
adhered to by our people. Not a single in-
fraction was reported. The streets, as the
day advanced, were deserted and dreary.
Our law-abiding people—no matter how
objectionable a law may be to some—de-
serve much praise for so doing.
The law's deiay, like an ill wind,
blows good to some people. The Cle-
burne Chronicle, speaking of the trial of
Tom Myers, at that place, for murder,
says:
The jury in the Tom Myers case was out
two who e days without coming to a deci-
sion—one juror -"as still undecided. Fri-
day afternoon the judge called them be-
>re him and gave an additional charge to
the effect that'the jury might tlx the pen-
alty at death or penitentiary for life. On
Friday the new law giving juries this
power went into effect, and the court de-
cided to give the prisoner the benefit of
the change. With the new charge, the
jury soon came to a verdict of murder in
the'first degree and fixed the penalty at
imprisonment for life. Had the jury coma
to a verdict at once, death would have
been the only possible penalty under the
law as it existed. The ona day's delay en-
titled the prisoner to the benefit of the
new law.
So the law and the courts can com
mute capital penalties like the o. a.
This was not the only case of a narrow
escape from the gallows at the same
place. The Chronicle says:
The Scoggins case was concluded last
Saturday by a verdict of acquittal. This
verdict, we suppose, was made upon the
evidence of a negro who had never before
appeared in the case, and whose testimony
was iu direct conflict with many undoubt-
ed facts proved in the case, and besides in
many respects self-contradictory: but his
statements outweighed all the facts proved
by some of the best men in the county.
The prisoner himself was as much sur-
prised at the verdict as any one, and the
judge said in all his experience he had
never seen a plainer case of murder made
out. There is not the shadow of a dqubt
but that the negro was a false witness,
and was conversant with none of the mat-
ters he testified to. Yet his word seems to
have had more weight th.m all the other
witnesses put together. If hired witnesses
can go on the stand and thwart justice,
there seems little use for going through the
mockery of trials. Criminals had as well
be turned loose at once and people will at
least be saved the deep disgust of the
solemn farce.
While some papers, with no claims to
piety, arraign the News for wickedness
cn account of its expressions on the sub-
ject of the new Sunday law, the Rev.
J[r. Billups, of the Mount Vernon
Eerald, acknowledges as follows the
aid given him in his pious labors by the
News:
Our editorial page of this issue is made
up almost entirely from the Galveston
JiEWS. A gracious revival of religion is
in progress in the baptist church in this
place, and the editor being pastor, and
conducting two services every day, be-
sides pastoral work, has no time to write

Cuero Bulletin: From several of our
farmers we learn that cotton picking is
progressing. The cotton gins at the
mills of Mr. W. W. Pearce and the
Buchet Bros., are constantly at work.
The same is the case with the gins
throughout the county. Wagons load-
ed with bales of cotton come in town
more freely as the season advances

ties will be much larger than anticipated.

is a fine specimen of architectural skill
and when completed will be quite an
important feature in the appearance of
this progressive town. In other parts
of tiie town improvements are visible
everywhere. Some of the blocks are
welffilled up with business houses, and
others are gradually condensing, so that
the town proper has begun to present
solidity in the construction of buildings.
A walk in the suburbs of the town,
however, will give an idea of the many
improvements in the way of nice com
fortable dwellings that are being con-
structed, besides those just completed.

The Argus regrets having to an-
nounce the untimely death of Elisha J.
Kindred a highly respected citizen of
Gonzales county, living near Waelder.
It seems, from the reports which have
reached us, that Mr. Kindred, wife and
little child, were proceeding to church
in a buggy drawn by two horses; that
on the way the lines were caught under
the tail of" one of the animals, which
frightened it and caused both to com
nience running, and that Mr. K., while
endeavoring to extract the line, fell
over the dashboard and received inter-
nal injuries from which he died a few
hours later. His wife and child,
though receiving some painful bruises,
were not seriously injured.

Austix, August 6.—One of your para-

fact that the stockholders of the Inter-

their shares until the canal is opened, con-
demned that operation ,ae unsound finan-

on the very same plan, and are prosperous,

it with a sound mortgage, selling it wider
the hammer and dispossessing the small
stockholders, may look like sound finan-
ciering to the gobblers, but would haidjy
be viewed in the same light by the jjob-
blees. Speak, ye shareholders of the Gal-
veston Fair association, of the Tremont
Hotel company, of the G-.. C. and fc*. F.
Railroad company, and multitudinous such
other enterprises. Did ye call it sound
financiering? M.. de Lesseps is able, pru-
dent and honest. He will be supported by
the money and intellect of Europe in his
undertaking, which will be carried to suc-
cessful completion, notwithstanding the
opposition or the powerful railroad inter-
est of this country. The return to stock-
holders of a part of their outlay in the
way of interest, instead of paying, per-
haps. double that interest to money-lend-
ers, has been, and will yet be, acknow-
ledged as sound financiering.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
Corn from Kati*»*—Railroad mat-
ters, Etc.
ITo the Sews.l
Round Rock, Aug. 7.—The crops in this
comity are almost a total failure on ac-
count of the drouth. Some farmers say
they will not make a bale of cotton to ten
acres. Others say if they make enough to
buy sugar and coffee they will be doing well.
Up to date three bales of new cotton have
been sold. Our merchants are receiving
carloads of corn already from Kansas,
and it is selling fast at 8oc. to $1 per bushel,
quite a difference from last year's prices.
Large parties are leaving here daily to
attend the Lampasas county fair, and to
get a drink of that healing water.
Considerable excitement prevailed here
on the 5th about G. M. Dilley buying the
Georgetown railroad. The people here
have already changed the name, and call
it the Round Rock railroad. Mr. Dilley is
a good financier, and will run the road
under altogether different management.
Some say he will pick her up and streteh
her out to Manor, and give us a compet-
ing line. It is thought he will remodel the
whole road entirely; that is, he will take
up the street company's iron and lay down
the standard bar, put on a large engine,
ecc. Yours, etc., Radcliff Bill.
News Office, Friday, August 8.
Trade improves steadily, and the expan-
sion is not limited to any special branch,
but extends to all department- of business.
Dry goods and hardware are moving
briskly, drugs and groceries are active ana
the provision market has shown an un-
usual degree of animation.
Hog products showed signs of returning
strength during the week, but at the close
the advices from western markets indicated
another unfavorable turn, aud baooo has
declined slowly during the past two days.
In the grain market the business has
been good. Corn sold freely for shipment
to western ports, and oats stiffened up in
consequence of light supplies. Wheat has
been sought for at last week's quotations,
and the sales were free, the market closing
firm.
Wool has been in better request, and the
sales have been more important than for
some weeks past. The tone of eastern
markets is better, and while no important
improvement is predicted, there appears to
be great faith in the stability of current
prices.
Of cotton it can only be said that prices
locally are lower and the reduced
prices* diffi'V-itt to realize at the elose. The
course of the Vending markets at home
and abroad h$s been downward, August
closing &y points lower than iasc Friday,
and 78 points lower than at the close of
the week preceding.
The weather has agavu been too dry for
the crops, although light rains in a few lo-
calities have done some good. The injury
already suffered by the crops is now too
far advanced to be recovered,and in many
places the yield will not be half what it
was last year. It is also estiiaated that
the aggregate yield of the state -will now
fall folly ten per cent, short of the esti-
mates current a month ago.
COTTON.
The week opened weak and prices on
Saturdav were reduced on sales of 2;--4
bales. On Monday eight bales were sold
at another decline "of c. Still another re-
duction of }ic oc< arred en Tuesday, when
li7 bales changed hands. The day follow-
ing bales were sold, and prices remained
unaltered. On Thursday bales were
placed at another decline of }ip on all
crades but middling, which was reduced
%c, and the market closed quiet to day,
with sales of 7S* bales at yesterday s decline.
The extent of the decline during the week
is %c on middling and y*c on all other
grades. The offerings have been free, but
the demand is limited. The receipts this
week include 2&S bales from the western
Texas ports, out of a total of 210tf bales,
against 33S bales gross for the correspond-
ing week last year. The weather at
this point has been showery, the rainfall
amounting to 1.11 inches, against 3.68
inches for the same week last year. At
Indianola the rainfall on three days was
.19 inches: at Corsicana one day .14 inches;
Dallas reports .45 inches on two days, and
Brenham .50 on two days. The rains
throughout the state have not been suffi-
cient or general, and tiie condition of the
crops has not been materially bettered by
the small rainfall reported. A reduction
of 10 per cent, from the estimates made en
June reports is now accepted as the mini-
mum effect of the injury done to the crops
by the drouth.

■Helton Courier: Sunday evening we
were blessed with another fine rain, and,
as far as we have heird, it was general
throughout a good portion of the coun-
ty. .. "Rev. J.*B. Harris, one of Helton's
old and most valued citizens, died last
Wednesday. The heavy rain we had
here last Tuesday evening seems to have
been attended with considerable wind
at other points, and with some destruc-
tion of property On Monday, Aug.

NEW YORK LETTER.
Financial AfTairs—The Cotton Har-
ket, etc.
{Special Correspondence of the News.l
New York, August 4.—There was a dis-
position to take the prorit on stocks this
forenoon, but this did not encourage the
bears to put out anv short lines. One tad
feature oi the market at present is that
there is no short interest in it; it is a bull
market; the bears feel it to be so, and let
it alone, not withstanding the material ad-
vance that has taken place.
To-day's decline, however, is a healthy
one than otherwise, as no continuous rise
is safe at any time. Breaks in the market
may not be pleasant for those who refuse
to sell when a fair profit offers, but for
the general list of stocks, and those who
have confidence in them, they are whole-
some. The present fall will tend to widen
the area of speculation, which, it is hint-
ed, will receive a powerful impetus on the
return of Jay Gould from Europe towards
the close of the month.
Sterling opens the we^k nominal. Direct
rates are ^4 83 and $4 85, less but
'* prime'* could be drawn at $4 83&, less
1-10. On Paris the ra*» is 5.18% and
5.20%.
Stock loans were firmer, with per
cent, paid for renewals for the day.
The government call was an exceedingly-
quiet one, there being scarcely any diposl-
tion to trade. Coupon 4s were offered at
103^, with 103 bid lor small lots.
Msssouri, TTgnsas and Texas firsts sold
at 75}^ for $10,000; do. seconds at 33 for
#.5000. There were also sales of $10,000
Georgia 7s at 110%; $3000 old Tennessees
at 35%; $3000 Rio Grande's at 92>£.
