In* igoratlns.
Yesterday's through gassenger train
on the G.,H. and H. R. R. made a short
stop, when a pleasant looking gentleman
stepped out on the platform, and, in-
haling the fresh air, enthusiastically ob-
served to the brakesman, " Isn't this in-
: No, sir ; it's the Dickin-
igorating'.'

employe. The pleasant looking gentle-
man incontinently subsided, and the
through train moved on.
Political.
Considerable excitement is abroad over
the coming election, and in every );roup
the question is discussed with consider-
able vehemence. Some people want to
know whether or not it will be an honor
to join the convention, now that it has
established a reputation not altogether
enviable.

llreakwater Plans.
Mr. Abel Hewley exhibited at the
News office yesterday, a plan for
Gulf breakwater, consisting of a plank
revetment rising from the beacb at an
inclination of 45 deg. and leaning land
ward. It is supported by three rows of
pile bracing, one above the other, the
piles to run back at right angles to the
revetment, and the whole to be filled be-
hind by sand. The plan is a simple one,
and may bs seen at this office.
J. P. Davie, Esq, proposes a plan
somewhat similar, consisting of a row of
piles driven about three or five feet apart
and planked on the sea side, the whole
to have an inclination of about 55 de-
grees, and to be strengthened by sand
filling on the land side.
Mr. Davie thinks the breakwater, what-
ever it is, should have an inclination so
as to give the waves a chance to roll up
and break while their force is thus ex-
pended.
Suicide.
Another suicide was added to the list
yesterday morning, and, as usual, whisky
and woman were the moving causes of
the rash act.
The victim, Gaorge Salter, a carpen-
ter by trade, and some thirty odd years
of age, has been living with a mistress
for about three years, and lately, becom-
ing jealous of her, took to drink, during
which time he has frequently made
threats against her life, as well as against
his own. For the past three weeks he
has been living separately from her, and
during the past three days has been ab-
sent from her house .until Friday morning,
when he returned about 9 o'clock, and
after searching for the woman for quite
a while, he lay down on the bed and be-
gan reading the Police News, at the same
time smoking a cigar, when, shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock, he drew a small derringer
from his pocket, and placing the muz/.le
to his head, just above the back of the
right ear, he pulled the trigger and
launched his soul into eternity.
Notice was immediately sent to Coro-
ner Johnson on the body being discov-
ered, and an inquest was held, at which
the following evidence was taken :
Jane Salter, on being sworn, said:
I recognize the body as that of George
Salter. I have known him for five
jrears. Have lived in the same house
with him. Lately, his habits w re those
of a dissipated man. I had not seen him
since day before yesterday—he has been
absent from my house during that time,
lie c*me to my house this morning while
1 was from home. I came home a little
after ten o'clock and found him dead.
He frequently talked of killing himself,
and also me. We were not living to-
gether at the time of his death—we had
been separated for about three weeks.
I know the small pistol found near his
body to be his property. We have never
been married, but have lived together as
man and wife for the last three years.
Robert Fleming, on being sworn, said :
I have known the deceaeed for about
one year. He was dissipated. I know
nothing of his family difficulties; have
heard him threaten to destroy himself.
I was attracted to the house this morn
ing by the cries of Jane Salter, and
when Dr. Welch and myself entered the
house we found the deceased in the same
position he is now in.
Whereupon the jury rendered the fol-
lowing verdict;
That the deceased came to his death
on the 22d day of October, 1875, in the
forenoon, from a pistol shot fired by his
own hand. W. A. Hellmas,

An audience, comprising citizens of all
shades of opinion and political faitb, and
of all classes of society, assembled last
night in front of the Grand Southern
Hotel to listen to the promised address of
Major T. P. Ochiltree, independent can-
didate for the vacancy in the Constitu-
tional Convention caused by the resigna-
tion of Mr. E. S.; Rugely. Considering
the little interest GalveBtonians take in
political matters or meetings nsually,the
assemblage may be considered a large
one, and did not fall short of five hun-
dred persons.
After a stirring air by a brass band,
Major Ochiltree mounted a temporary
stand placed near the Twenty-second
street entrance to the hotel, and spoke as
follows:
Fellow Citizens: I have no one to in-
troduce me to-night, but as I am well
known as one who has been in public
service in the State, I do not deem any
formality like an introduction essential.
My position before you as a candidate for
the convention entitles me to your hear-
ing, and I think myself fully entitled to
your candid consideration in order to
clear my skirts of the imputations that
have been cast upon me. 1 crave your
indulgence while I glance back at my past
record, as this method of procedure seems
customary, and I have an eminent exam-
ple in the case of one who sought your
suffrages at the last municipal election.
[Reads from the News Gov. Lubbock's
own showing of his record when running
for the mayoralty, as follows :]
FdUnv-citlzcnn—1 appear to speak of myself
in groat measure, because duty I owe to my-
self requires it of me. I am in a contest
where my principle Is at stake, and if there
is one thing more tbau another upon which I
rely for success before my fellow-men, it is a
strict adherence to what I consider the right
in any case. When a man is arraigned, it is
better fur him to speak for himself than to
have his friends do it for him. At scarce
twenty-one years of age I came to Texas, a
beardless youth then; but I have lived here
through forty years, and am growing gray in
the service of my adopted land. I commenced
my career by serving with your honored citi-
zens. Oscar Farish and R. D. Johnson, in the
clerk's office of one of the departments
at the capital city. The next position I took
was that of Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives, holding subsequently a position on the
Board of Laud Commissioners. Time flew on,
until at the age of 23, I was selected by Sam
Houston to fill the office of Comptroller
Those were the days that tried men's souls.
Whon Indians roamed abroad, and made their
depredations upon the pioneer settlements, I
took the front as adjutant of a command tnat
was organized to drive the Indians to their
mountain retreate. After serving in many
arduous campaigns and doing all in my power
to aid in ertablishing security within the
civilized limits of our State, I was removed
from office by Mr. Lamar, who succeeded
Houston, etc.
The speaker resumes:
He closes by saying that he went on to the
Guberr.atioual chair, and brings proof of the
high esteem in which he was held among the
peopie of the State.
Gov. Lubbock has seen fit to make unjust
strictures on my character. Lubbock, a man
whom I have always thought my friend, one
for whom my first vote was cast, a vote I
never regreted. I deemed him a conscien-
tious officer, and can hardly say that it ia in
my power to return him the evil he has
wrought agatnst me. Nuw for a few words
about myself and my own record, o" which
I have no reason to be else than proud. At
six months of age I cimeto Texas, and at six-
teen years was a soldier under Coi. 0. G. Wal-
ker. in the frontier defense At eighteen I
was a clerk of the Legislature, of which my
opponent, W. II. Stewart, wa? a member, and
was then such a good Democrat that Lubbock
himself dubbed me the "torchlight" of De-
mocracy. I afterward went with Bryan and
Lubbock, and other eminent, men, to the
Charleston Convention, of which riody I was
made Secretary. When th« war came on in
stead of lying around the then Confederate
capital. Montgomery, Alabama, seeking for an
eas. office in the army, I went to the front
and raised my arm witn other Southerners in
defence of the South. At that time mv father
was a Confederate Congressman, and I never
approached him for assistance. 1 went out
with Capt. Bass' Company, First Texas Bri-
gade, and my soldier record none can impugn.
These things I say because I was called
a renegade by an ardent speaker Thursday
nlnht. I deny the charge, and boldly si«y
that I have always been with and for the peo-
ple, and have exerted myself in their behalf
when they knew not of it. 1 have worked and
worried myself in behalf of Texas, and exert-
ed an inilueuce at Washington which, I am
proud to say, was fruitful of success. But
your bomb-proof stay-at-homes—men who
are comnosed ft word# and grand preten-
sions, can stand up and, for the furtherance
i t their own interests, drag down the char-
acters of those who have a record that ii fair
and good enough to exefte their envy. [Ap
plause.] In connection with my military re-
cord, I will read the following extracts from
nawapapopa and ofiloial 1sttoma ?
GEN. THOMAS GREEN'S REPORT OP THE BATTLE
OK VALVERDE, N. M., 21ST FEB., 1£62.
[Extract.]
" Capt. Tom P Ochiltree, Aide-de-Camp to
the General commanding, was exceedingly
useful to me on the field, and active during
the whole engagement. He assisted me in the
most critical moments to cheer the men to
the assault. Re deserves the highest praise
for his undaunted chiralry and coolness, and
I recommend him to the General for promo-
tion.11
I To Gen. Ewell.
If I am a renegade I never showed it from
the time I entered ihe service of the Confed-
eracy until I surrendered at Saylor's Creek.
This opportunity I take to justify myself, not
to apologize. If people think I take up a po-
sition without due consideration, they are
mistaken. For my coarse since the war, I do
not apologize, for I considered that the hat-
chet was buried, and the time h%d come for
the people of both sections, North and South,
to come together and harmonize on a plat-
form th.it would insure their best
interests, and give them a return
of all the grand benefits of that
prosperous condition enjoyed before
secession. [Applause ] I mad© up my mind
when the troubles were over to use my best
endeavors to unite the people, and took my
own method, one that is now thrown back In
my teeth. While many sat moping and
thinking of the horrid time* of the conflict, I
was up and doing, and I defy any living man
to show me where 1 have committed an act
that would indicate that I was plotting
against the good of my State or of my people.
In England the man of bravery or good acts,
whether he wore a red or a white rose,
whether he was a Cavalier or a Roundhead,
was commended and assigned a place for his
bones, where future generations could look
on them and muse with reverence. Their
names were handed down because worthy of
deeds which they performed in the prosecu-
tion of the faith that they considered the true
one.
When the war closed I came back to Te xas
to find homes desolate, property gone, and
dejected people on every side, so it was
with the South. What then !' Sit down and
grieve over the past and add my wailing to
that of the great multitude ? Ne^er did such
a policy enter my head; for with a man of
nerve such a step would have been execrable
in the greatest degree. I set about tryi°£ to
inculcate the submission I had inured myself
to and to create cheerfulness in the ranks of
a fallen people. There were bitter feelings
between the people of the sections and each
side thought as they had a right to think that
hi* faith was just and his side should have
won. Reconstruction measures of a stringent
nature were passed by Congress, and people
went sulking along, and, like the
man who shouted out from between
the bars of the jail, said: "You shan't
nut me in here.11 This was a poor policy, for
how are we to end troubles except by oppos-
ing them in the way that common sense would
suggest? My policy was to make the best of
a bad thing, and it it was possible to effect
any good to do so. Before the war the great
Souih controlled the government, but when
the war came on the money and heavy artil-
lery were on the other side, and they always
in [Applause] The South had nothing
left but to Bettle down to the situation, ana
that in a manner that showed she was smart
enough to be above the ignorant bickerings of
snapping poodle. During the time of the
excitement in Eastern Texas over the arrest
of a number of young men for killing
certain Federal officials, I interceded iu
their behalf at Washington, and secured par-
dons after a drum-head court-martial had
sentenced some 15 or 16 of these implicated
parties to death. [Applause.] This 1 look upon
as an act sufficient to cover all my transgres-
sions since the war, and with which i am
charged. I used what inlluence I had to save
my fellow-citizens, and, as the record will
show, succeeded. Nor wa9 1 paid for my labor
in this matter, a3 it was a work of sincere
love for those whom I lived among as co-citi-
zens of a common State. My appointment as
Marshal gave me the power of a Roman Pro-
Consul, yet I did not use it to intimidate the
people, nor did I shake the rough hand of des-
potism, (for what else do yon call it?i over
their heads as did Packard, of Louis-
iana, and others, whose names are
reproach to our people. On the
contrary, when deposed from office the entire
bar of Ga'veston, and other citizens of this
city, endorsed me for re-appointment, and
this may be seen in black and white in the
columns of the daily press. And yet they think
me a dangerous man- one who must not be
sent to Austin, for fear of upturning the
august body there assembled; for fear that I
will convert the Democratic majority there,
of sixty-five or over! This, indeed, is a com-
pliment I hardly expected. [Applause ] I
make no pretensions to anything else than
that of being a live man and up with the
times, and believe that what we want is the
furtherance of our business and other inter-
ests. Gov. Lubbock was scared when he heard
of my coming out. He thought I would creep
in on him. But I have some strong friends
in the Governor's party, and I will not mention
them for fear they will be read out. [Laugh-
ter.] But as an evidence of the good feeling
that exists toward the people of the South-
land, you have only to remember the voice of
Boston when she spoke to the tune of $5000
for our coast sufferers. We can not but look
on this act with an overflowing feeling of
grati-ude. This shows what tbe sentiment is
reaching to, and that the hands of the two
great divisions will yet be crossed in accord
We turn in admiration to our conquerors, be-
cause they were the best in the field. Dead
issues .must be left alone, or discord will ex
1st, and to delve in the old sores will but
check our prosperity in common with that
of this country. Galveston is a progressive
city, and can not look back while such a fu-
ture! is before her. She sits here on the
Gulf, a great center for trade, and
will some day reach her arms out over the
world. [Applause.]
1 tuought Gov. Lubbock learned something
when he went to Europe, but he comes back
to us with his old notions and dives back into
the gr*m records of the war to claw out a bone
of contention. He Is like my honorable oppo
nent Stewart—behind the times. The latter
will do for a place like Houston or Wallisville,
(laughter) where they are hanging behind. My
worthy friend Stewart is just one hundred and
fifty years behind the hour, and cau never
* i up.
not the man to frame an organic law for a
country as broad as this great tate. He had
known Thomas Ochiltree from his boyhood
and his father too. If he was such a man as
his father was, he would say " send him to
the convention.1' [Col. Ochiltree—411 am
Governor, but you don't seem to believe it.1']
The speaker had been in Texas many yearo
and had carried the Democratic banuer in the
times which tried men's 8 juIs, and had made
many speeches in behalf of that creed; would
always turn out and work for the party, for
iu it he saw the redemption of the country.
Governor Lubbock alluded to the report of an
interview between a News reporter and Maj.
Ochiltree, as published in Friday morning's
paper, where it was stated that some one
came in just as the reporter was leaving, and
stated that he had abused Maj. Ochiltree in
his Court-house speech. He had said on that
occasion: 41 It will never do to let a Demo-
cratic community permit the election of such
a man, when we are on the eve of askiLg a
Democratic community for a fa'vor." He had
used the words " Radical Scalawag," and he
defined it to be a person of Southern birth or
adoption, who, no matter how bravely he had
fought for the South during the war, went
over to the enemy's camp after its close, and
helped to crush the people with the rod of
misrule. His heart was in this thing. Not
against Torn Ochiltree, but against the politi-
cal party which he represented. He would
never be satisfied until he saw the Democratic
heel upon the neck of the Republican serpent.
It had been said that he had stated in a pre-
vious speech that Maj. Ochiltree was not qual-
ified by character or education for a position
of such importance as delegate to the Texas
Constitutional Convention. He had not
meantjby that remark that Maj. Ochiiti ee was
a man of bad character, but he had been
taught that the best and purest jurors of the
country should be selected for the purpose.
Two of the best known attorneys in the city
had already been elected and were in their
seats. The other counties in the District had
also selected a gentleman eminently qualified
to sit with such able co-adjutors as has gone
from this city, and but for the misfor-
tunes of the flood, would have retained
his seat, but the urgency of private
terests prevented it. and he was forced
to repign. Maj. Ochiltree's early training
does not fit him to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr. Rugely, and withal he
belongs to the political party which in Texas,
at least, maintains cohesiveness simply for
the purpose of dividing the Federal offices
between them, and that is what they are
fighting for now. In an interview held with
a reporter, Maj. Ochiltree is credited with
saying that he had been invested with an of-
fice, having all the powers of a pro consul,
in this community, and he left it with the re-
grets of the people following him. The
speaker confessed that it was necessary for
him to have recourse to his Webster's Una-
bridged for the meaning of the words, and
was somewhat surprised to learn that it was
*'one of the chief rulers of ancient Rome who
ere generally politicians." He thought
Grant must be chief ruler and Maj. Ochiltree
his assistant,. At all events, Maj. Ochiltree
has proved a mild ruler; but the speaker, now
he understood the pro consul business, could
account for the numerous journeys made by
the Major to Washington and Long Branch,
as he was the second officer of the govern-
ment, and we did not know it. Col. Stewart,
the Democratic nominee, was a gentleman
who had been a resident of the State lor
many years and has filled positions of trust
with ncnor to his constituency and with
credit to himself. He was an able lawyer,
and in his profession was considered the piDk
of honor. Were Maj. Ochiltree elected he
could take a jaunt North and say: 441 get
Federal office whenever I want It, and when
I go to Texas the people take me with open
arms and send me to the convention to frame
the orgauic laws of the State
On the necessity of building a break-water
the speaker thought we were all in unison.
Col. Stewart undoubtedly favored a break-
water, as he resided in the city and witnessed
the September cyclone.
So far as the public school system was con-
cerned, it required time, and thought and
study, to complete and bring to perfection a
system which would meet the requirements
of such a large and growing State as this.
In closing, the speaker would disclaim hav-
ing anything personal against Maj. Ochiltree,
but believed in the Democratic party stand-
ing shoulder to shoulder. Gov. Lubbock,
after stating that he hoped to live until he
was eighty years old, in order that he might
vote against the Republican party as long as
it existed, excused himself and retired from
the stand.
REPLY OF MAJOR OCHILTREE.
In response to the loud calls of the au-
dience, Major Ochiltree ascended the rostrum,
He stated that he merely proposed to occupy
their attention for a short time, in order to
answer some of the stringencies passed upon
him by the previous speaker. But in doing
this he did not wish it understood that he
thought that Gov. Lubbock meant all that he
said, far from it. The Governor was equa ly
hard and severe on the present Mayor before
the primary election last spring, but after
that occasion, aud with the prospect of an
office in the city government, his praise and
laudations more than equalled the olvoquy he
had formerly sought to cast upon him. So
would it be now if I had an office to dispose
of. Ah! gentlemen, office is a most potent
salve which will heal many a political wound.
The Major went on to state that if he was
elected a member of the Constitutional Con-
vention, he pledgod to devote his time and
energy to the work of making a constitution
that would be for the best interests of all the
people. He appreciated the importance of
the position of delegate to the convention.
He refuted the charge that he was a scalla-
wag, for as Gov. Lubbock had said that meant
a wanderer, and he had not left the State
when in office more than the Governor had.
and the Governor had held office here for
thirty-five years. As to his fitness for the
position, he facetiously alluded to his corpu-
lency, power of lungs and brilliantly colored
head as all likely to attract the attention of
the Speaker, aud thus more readily obtain »
hearing for Galveston and her great and
varied interests. He paid a compliment to
the wiadom of the convention. This is no po
litical office, but merely a convention to make
the fundamental law of the State—a funda-
mental law which shall be equal for all.
He reviewed t.bo proceedings of the prima-
ry meeting held at the court-house, and of
the 1 41 41 ~u~*
us this was a common complaint with
Daniel years ago. At any rate he was
discharged this time, it being the first
time he has appeared before the raildur-
iDg the present term of the Recorder.
Frank SuttoD,d. d., was also discharged
on the plea of first appearance.
The case of the State vs. Dan McCor-
mick, charged with an assault with in-
tent to murder John Fisher, will be tried
Saturday morning. Mr. Fisher has so
far recovered as to be able to testify, and
is now all right, though when he was
first hurt his chances for life seemed
very slim.
Allow me to say a word for myself.
I have been using Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup in my family since first intro-
duced in this city. I think it an excel-
lent article, and would not be without it
on any consideration.
It softens the gums, reduces inflamma-
tion, regulates the bowels, cures wind
colic, and corrects acidity, gives rest and
health to the child, and comforts the
mother.
The public are hereby assured through
these colamns that the celebrated Home
Stomach Bitters contains no deleterious
drug to poison the system and make the
cure worse than the disease. Each con-
stituent is itself an old recognized stand-
ard specific for biliary complaints. For-
mulated under the hand and judgment
of a most skilled physician, they have
battled down all barriers of prejudice
against proprietary medicines, and are
now confidently administered by the
medical faculty.
Cooper, Bailey & Co.'»
Claim to having the best show in the
world is absolutely true. * * * We
might add plenty more about this enor-
mous show, but there is no need to say
any thing more than that the claim of

the opposition Is against me, people don't re-

eently labored for the success of the improve
ments of navigation, and, as he will teU you,
united my humble efforts to his. and was
never weary of prosecuting the measures of
interest to us a'l.
Now I come to speak of a subject of the
greatest importance—the free public schools.
I am in favor of them, first and last. Where
there is a public system of instruction there
is virtue and intelligence, a dearth of crime,
a prosperous people. The masses must be
educated. Wealthy people forget they are
able to secure this boon, while they cut it off
from the poor by opposing the public
school system. Don't do it: it is
dangerous, and where such a measure is
promulgated there is sure to be social ruin
sooner or later. These old fogies who want
corduroy roads, pine-knot fires and yellow
jeans will throttle the iife-blood of thejState if
they persist in Eeeping the rising generation
from that which they themselves have not—
aa education. We must on to the front. Men
who are entitled to citizenship must be
blessed with its privileges. It is their great
due, and let them have it, for it prevents
crime, ignorance, superstition. All citizens,
without recard for their color, arc to be re-
garded as worthy the immunities of their
government.
The speaker expressed himself as being
heartily in favor of immigration. America
had always been the home of the people who
were forced to leave their native lands on ac-
couut of oppression. The more the country
was built up the more benefit accrued to
everyone within its borders. The immigra-
tion from foreign countries was generally in-
telligent, and the speaker Instanced that from
Germany, whose people, thousands of whom
were within the borders of this great State,
had uniformly proven themselves honest, in-
dustrious and law-abiding citizens. Major
Ochiltree alluded to his efforts to establish
the ilrst steamship line between Liverpool
and Galveston, when he had been sent abroad
by the house of T. H. McMaban A Co., and af-
ter discussing the subject with a large number
of English capitalists, had induced them to
embark in the enterprise, which, unfortunate-
ly, proved a failure, as the State was not, at
that time, ripe for it. It had, however, since
been accomplished, through Messrs. C. W.
Hurley & Co., of this city. The speaker had
subsequently been seDt abroad by Governor
Davis, |ntbe interest of immigration ; he had
accepted an office from Governor Davis, a>«
had hia friend. George Mann, who waa one of
the meeting which nominated his opponent, in
this race. George get a judgeship. "Ithelped
a fellow along, you know,"
In regard to a levee around the
ciry for protection against the incursions of
the sea, he was deeply impressed with the
urgent necessity, and should he be selected
as a delegate from this county to the Consti-
tutional Convention, he would use his utmost
endeavors that the city be empowered to issue
bonds ifor the purpose, and as the State has
already exercised the right of granting lands
for the improvement ot rivers within her
border, he would do his utmost to procure a
grant of lands for the purpose of protecting
Galveston against any danger of overflow.
He had been advised by some of his friends,
somewhat inconsiderately he thought, to
come oack" as * were on some of the gen-
tlemen who had attacked him at the court-
house meeting Thursday evening, but be bore
no malice and would not do so. He h*d never
done any man an intentional wrong, and
would have felt kindlier If the gentlemen who
had discussed him at the court-house meet-
ing had confined themselves to his political
record and not havo gone out of the way to
assail his private character. He never met a
man who had ever rendered him even the
smallest favor but he was proud to acknow-
ledge it, and to reciprocate to the fullest ex-
rent whenever within his power. He would
say nothing further in regard to these wanton
attacks, but would leave his fate to the a»bi-
trament of the people at the polls. He had
ever been the friend of Texas, and if elected
he would endeavor to show what a live man
could do. With a graceful acknowledgment
t? tbe audience Maj. Ochiltree closed and was
followed by
governor lubbock.
The Governor opened by stating that he
deserved some little praise for the magnitude
of the meeting who nad listened to the able
and eloquent speech of the gentleman who
had preceded him. *4The Roman Consul has
addressed you and, conieauently, vou canex<
pect nothing from me." The speaker under-
stood that Maj. Ochiltree hed not intended
addressing the voters of Galveston county un-
til it had been reported that he had been dis-
cussed by the meeting at the court-bouse on
Thursday evening, and that was the cause of
the speaking on this occassion, and as one of
the speakers at the ratification meeting at
the coutt-hoiifle» he thought he (the speAer)
deserved some credit for being instrumental
in bringing together such a large and respect-
able audience.
Governor Lubbock accorded Maj. Ochiltree
sociability, ability, and even what is termed
as cleverness. He had never arraigned him
as being out of the<pale of a gentleman or of

refer to the »dtjress jiurt made by Col. Oobll-

tion, and last of all Judge Stewart was se-

fused, he asked for a collectorship and then a

parties to allow hia name to be used, and if

Thanking the audience for their indul-
gence, the speaker retired amid great ap-

ng in giving throughout his whole speech.
ADDRESS OF W. H. STEWART.
In response to the call of several present,
Major Stewart ascended the rostrum, and on
being introduced by Gov. Lubbock, proceeded
to address the assembly.
He began by stating that he had not ex-
pected to be called upon to address the meet
ing, but was proud to respond to the call,
and of being allowed te speak, where a few
years ago the negro could tote, while he, as
well as many present, were debarred that
rivilege. He reviewed his support of Mayor
ulton, merely because he was the nominee
of the Democratic party. He also reviewed
his record as a legislator, reciting the fact
that he had voted for every railroad that is
now in successful operation, while in the case
of all bills which he considered contained
provisions which were dishonest in their ten-
dencies, he had voted no.
He" denied the imputation that he was
an old fossil, and stated that when he was
twenty-six years of age he was bald headed,
and recited an incident where he won two
bottles of whisky on account {of his baldness
from a client who attempted to guess his age.
He spoke in favor of the public schoo's, and
in this connection made extended remarks of
a ve'y eulogistic character on the support of
public education, telling what he had done and
was still doing in that behalf.
He made very feeling allusion to the reign
of terror in the South, of the crimes
of the Radicals. He said he liked old-
fashioned ways, old-fashioned liberty and
prosperity, and peace such as was enjoyed
under the Democratic rule.
He was not a rich man, and to prove it,
counted his market monev, and found he had
twenty cents, and said he would buy two
rump steaks with that sum. He also recited
his experieLce in coming to this city, of his
poverty and the shifts he was compelled to
make in order to get along.
He was one of the lively boys once. He
beat Sam Harlan once out of $800 at faro, and
thought he had broken the bank; but Chap-
man got hold of him and somehow got away
with all his winnings, and more besides. But
now he was settled down to an upright life,
and looked upon those little episodes
things of the past. He claimed the Demo-
cratic party was the true friend of the negro,
since it had not cheated them with a Freed-
men's Bank, and other like schemes.
He is in favor of protecting the city from
the inroads of the sea, and heartily approved
the course taken by the public meeting on
the Strand, and pledged himself that if elec-
ted to the convention he would do all in his
power to further the ends proposed by that
meeting, and procuring the erection of a
breakwater sufficient to afford an ample pro-
tection to this city from the ravages of any
future cyclone.
He believed in the glorious future of this
city,and predicted in ten years the inhabitants
of this island would number fully one hundred
thousand, while in twenty years it would
number a quarter of a million, and for the
State would number at least ten millions of
inhabitants.
He did not believe in any distinction being
made between the rich anu the poor. He
would invite immigration, under which the
lands in the State would increase many times
in value.
He stated that he was ready at any and ail
times to answer any and all questions which
might be propounded him concerningiiis own
views on the subject s to be brought before
the convention.
He said that it was only to keep intact th9
party organization that he consented to leave
his pleasant home and the loved ones about
his fireside to mingle in the trials and per-
plexities incident to the final deliberations of
the convention.
His closing remarks were an earnest appeal
to the Democrats to do their duty at the polls
to-day, and to-night the telegraph would not
herald the fact that a great Republican vic-
tory had been won in Texas, and thus suste-
nance be given to Grant .and his schemes for
the third term.
Thanking the audience, which had now
dwindled down to one-half of those pres-
ent at the beginning of the speaking, for
their attention and courtesy, he bade them
good night.
The crowd dispersed about eleven o'clock,
well saturated with political intelligence.

"The JTIan About Fown,''
Apropos of the present canvass, tlie
i.he following is clipped from the New
York Free Lance of latest date :
Tlie Red Ranger of tlie Rio Grande,
Col. Tom Ochiltree, emits a howl of rage
all the way from St. Louis, and the Her-
ald hears it and repeats the wrathful cry
to all the Men About Town. No wonder
that the gallant Colonel has lost his tem-
per. Somebody has wickedly printed in
a book that the Red Ranger is incapable
of speaking the truth, and several news-
japers, including tbe Graphic, have pub-
"ished quotations to that effect. Now,
do man about town is better known than
Tom Ochiltree. His skill at romancing
makes him the sole Anglo-Saxon repre-
sentative of those Eastern imjnoviaatores
of whom such wonderful tales are told.
But dressing up a story to please and
amuse a select circle of friends is a very
different thing from uttering falsehoods,
and the Colonel is as true as steel in all
the practical affairs of life. The duello
is abolished, or Tom Ochiltree would cer-
tainly make the author of the libels upon
him swallow a dose of lead. As it is,
we hope that he will cause the slander-
er to eat dirt—a page of the book would
do nicely."
The story " wickedly printed in a
book" referred to is the yarn that ap-
pears in the concluding part of Morphis's

Captured. — The negro Ambrose
Evans, who. while pursued by Riley West,
shot and killed the latter at Spring Station
the other day, was brought dowm on the Cen-
tral train yeiterday, and safely lodged in the
Harris county jail, to await trial by the Crim-
inal Court now in session. After the killing
of West, who was one of the leading citizens
of the neighborhood of Spring Station, Evans
lied to Washington county, where he
had formerly lived, and where he
had friends and relatives. Here
a gentleman named Potts (according to
Evans's own statement), who had read his de-
scription in the Galveston News, met and
recognized him on the road as the person al-
luded to, aud immediately arrested him,
Evans acknowledging he was the murderer.
He stated to a reporter yesterday at the jail
that what he did was in self-defense, and to
another party that he would have given him-
self up atter the shooting had he not been
afraid of lynching. Evans is a likely young
negro of twenty two, and is rather intelligent
for one of his class.

will contend for prizes at target practice.
The trial is to come off at the Hubertus
Grounds and Hall at the eastern terminus of
the Congress street railway.
Denied the Charge.—Deputy Mar-
shal J. M. Johnston and officer Cline publish
a card wherein they deny certain strictures
and insinuations in an evening paper to the
effect that they 14 winked " at the escape of
the burglar who entered Sues's store on Main
street, and an aocount of which was given
yesterday.
Railroad Office Rifled.—Col. J.
G. Tracy, secretary of the Texas Western
Narrow Gauge Railway Company, publit>hes a
card setting forth the f«ct that his office, cor-
nor Fann<n and Congress streets, has been
robbed of valuable papers and documents
The safe was left intaot and no money taken.
MINOR ITEMS.
Without doubt there are some capitalists
even in Houaton, now lying quittly in the
shade and the safe background, who expect
to make a big 41 spec " off Houston bonds and
city scrip, now down to 55, and a drug at that.
The present condition of the city olock in
the market tower might well illustrate the
celebrated Shakspearean couplet:
44 There are more things^'twixt heaven and
earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Perjury.—It is reported several in-
dictments have been found against witnesses,
particularly of the colored persuasion, for the

For the good name of the land of

Acquitted.—Henry c. Thompson, ex-
Chief of Police, was put upon his trial yester-
day, in the Criminal Court, for the alleged
charged, it being his first appearance be- commission of an agrravated assault and
fnrn thla trih,,„oi battery on the person of J. M. Johnson, the

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
I)A1N in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres-
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder-
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some-
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
tlie bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at-
tendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
nnd he complains of a prickly sensa-
tion of the skin ; his spirits are low ;
aiid although he is satisfied that exer-
cise would be bcneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis-
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but-cafes have occurred where few
o& th^m existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
liver to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. M'Lane's Liver Pills', in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
P. S. Dealers and "Physicians ordering from
others than Fleming Bros, will do well to write
their orders distinctly, aud take uoiie hit Dr.
C. M'Lane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming
Urc.n., Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of
base imitations. To those wishing to give them a
trial, we will forward per mail, post-paid, to any
part of tlie United States ; one box of Tills for
twelve three-cent postage stamps, or cne vial of
Vermifuge for fourteen three-cent 6tamps. AIL
orders from Canada must bo accompanied by
tweuty cents extra.
DR. C. M'LANE'S
