Capt. Frank Hardin.
An old correspondent of the news
furnishes some incidents in the long
life of Capt. Franklin Hardin, an old
pioneer and veteran of the Texas revo-
lution, a hero of San Jacinto and of the
Anahuac fight between the colonists
and the Mexican garrison under
Bradburn, long before the Tex
ans were compelled to declare
their independence and choose
between resistance and extermination.
Franklin Hardin was born in Franklin
county, in the state of Georgia, on the
25th day of January, 1803. When
quite young he removed with his pa-
rents to Knox county, Tennessee. In
1825, in company with his brother,
Blackburn Hardin, he emigrated to
Texas, where subsequently the rest of
the Hardin family came and settled
near the present town of Liberty.
Franklin Hardin followed the profes-
sion of land surveyor in the eastern
colonies under the commissioner An-
tonio Nixon, until the land offices were
closed by the convention, owing to the
invasion of the country by the Mexi-
cans, under Gen. Cos, who occupied
the city of San Antonio. When vol-
unteers were called for to recapture the
place Franklin Hardin, with many
others, responded, and served until
Cos surrendered to the Texans
under Colonels Milam and Johnson.
When Santa Anna with an overwhelm-
ing force returned to drive the Texans
beyond the Sabine, and massacred all
who refused to fly, and began his ope-
rations by the siege and slaughter of
the Alamo, a company was formed in
Liberty county to go to the relief of
the beleaguered fortress. William M,
Logan was elected captain, Franklin
Hardin, first lieutenant, B. F. Harper,
secoad lieutenant, I. N. Moreland act-
ing temporarily as sergeant until E. T.
Branch was elected. This company
proceeded as far as the Mound, near
the Brazos, where it was met by
the intelligence of the fall of
the Alamo and that the army
under Houston was retreating. The
company, however, after a number had
left it, pushed on and joined the forces
under Houston on the east side of the
Colorado, and remained in the service
until the army under Santa Anna had
been totally destroyed at San Ja-
cinto and the remainder of the
Mexican Invaders were driven be-
yond the Nueces. The company
was discharged in June, 1836. In
July President Burnet made another
call for volunteers, and the deceased
was chosen captain of a company and
marched to the west. The men were
afterward disbanded at Victoria. After
the war Capt. Hardin was elected sher-
iff, and held other offices of honor and
trust in Liberty county; but he was
devoid of ambition and preferred the
walks of private life. He lived and
died respected by all who knew him.
He was a brother of Judge William
Hardin, one of the ten original propri-
etors of the city of Galveston.
a Washington dispatch, dated the
21st, s>ays that gentlemen of promi
nence in both of the existing political
parties share to a large degree the sen-
timents credited to Secretary McCrary,
in effect that the next president of the
United States will be elected by the
bouse of representatives, owing to the
failure of either party to have a majori-
ty of all the electoral votes. That is,
they believe that the side issues which
are now being agitated will split up the
Republican and Democratic parties to
an extent that will prevent either of
them from controlling a majority of the
whole number of electors appointed,
and thereby throw the election into the
bouse of reprwenUtives.
STATE PRESS.
The Ban Antonio Herald quotes from
Daniel Webster's speech in the cele-
brated Girard will case to show the im-
portance of religious influence on the
enactment and enforcement of whole-
some laws. Mr. Webster said where
there is any religious sentiment among
men at all, this sentiment has incorpo-
rated itself with the law. The Herald
enlarges on this idea,but is constrained
to say that religious people in San An-
tonio can not get even the protection
that the law affords; and last Sunday
night the Presbyterian congregation of
that city were forced to suspend service
and go home by the din of rattling
drums and braying horns in a dance
house that the authorities have allowed
to be set up under the very shadow of
their church. The Herald declaims ve-
hemently against this outrage, and calls
on the authorities to do their duty in
the premises.
The State Gazette apprehends a still
further desintegration and new crystalli-
sation of parties in the coming canvass,
as follows:
The grargers were invited by the Austin
Greenback convention to co-operate with
them in support of a state ticket It is now
rumored that efforts will be made by a faction
of the July convention to defeat the nomina-
tion of a state ticket, with a view of furni h
ing an independent ticket of this character:
For governor, John Ireland; for lieutenant
governor. Grand Master Lang. And so on,
with Downs, Garland and others, to the end of
the chapter. As a matter of course neither
the greenbackers nor grangers will take any
definite aciion until after tne meeting of the
July convention, and shoutd that action bo
harmonious, as political forces they will then
both be dead cocks in the pit. Thus the fac-
tions howl, and it is not unlikely will combine
to create disturbance in the state convention
for defeating nominations.
The San Antonio Express complains
that—
Oar government will not, and the JIaxican
government can not, give that country prote c-
tion. Under the circumstances there are but
t«ro horns to the dilemma. Western Texas
will have to be deserted by all hone&t people,
or the rancheroB will have to throw open heir
sec ion to the outlawe 1 class of the country-
invite the desperaooes from everywhere 10
come to them, and in return for protection
and immunity against arrest, protect them
from raiders from Mexico. The people are
not strong enough to protect themselves, the
state is too poor of ii- elf to maintain a suffi-
cient force to protect the border w thout be-
in? allowed to follow the raiders into Mexico,
and the only chance for protection for the
honest people is that to be secured through
an alliance with thieves and murderers.
A case must be truly desperate to
suggest such a desperate remedy.
The grange candidate for lieutenant
governor, through his organ the Waco
Examiner, thus furls his banner and
retires to the rear:
Several of our contemporaries have been
"slopping over" about the lieutenant g v-
ernorship. Suffice it to say, tnat Mr. Djwds
is not a candidate for lieutenant governor, has
not been, won'd not be, and never had the
sligbtes intention of it. The Don Quixotes of
tne press have been fighting wind-mills.
Barkis has no objection.
The Waco Telephone would " silence
envious tongues " by such gentle hints
as the following:
Some of the Democratic papers in this state
seem to take great pleasure in deprecating,
or endeavoring to d» preciate, Hon. John Han
cock in the public estimation. These papers
should remember that very few, if any, citi-
zens have served Texas with more fidelity and
ability than Judge Hancock. A lifetime of
honorable service should certainly merit re-
spectful mention and courteous considera-
tion, if nothing else.
The genuine pioneer and veteran of
Texas has a good deal more than the
average experience in political muta
tions. The Sherman Courier inciden-
tally brings out some of them in men
tioning the career of the Hon. Emory
Rains, whose death in Emory, Rains
county, has been heretofore announced.
He was a subject of Spain, a citizen of
the republic of Texas, a citizen of the
United States, a citizen of the Southern
Confederacy, and again a citizen of the
United States, and yet did not change
his domicile.
The Austin Statesman appears to im-
pute the disorders that have brought dis-
credit on certain portions of the state
to the imperfections of the laws and
declares that:
It wiu be the duty of the next legislature
to inaugurate a reform which will extend
from the highest functions of general admin-
istration to the details of local government.
It must have the wisdom and the courage to
introduce into our system or laws whatever
innovations the stern necessities of our pre-
sent pitiable condition requires.
The Dallas Commercial goes still fur-
ther and exaggerates rather than palli-
ates these disorders, saying:
The necessity for the selection of wise and
true men to enact codes for Texas was never
so urgent. When a hundred thousand horses
are stolen within the limits of the stwte, when
there are four thousand fugitives from jus-
tice, and leading counties yet to hear from;
when officials plunge the dagger into one an-
other on the streets of the capital; when red-
handed assassins strike down their victims
and scamper across the prairies to be seen no
more; when our jiils are crowded with crimi-
nals who lie there two or three years, a fear-
ful burden to tax-piyers, while the
course of justice moves slowly and
feeblv along; when all the dockets of
all of our courts are crowded with cases;
when our great railway lines are in a st-»te o'
siege; when the people of the lower part of
the state are organizi' g protective associa-
tions; when men everywhere are calling out
for the right to carry the deadly revolver in
self-defense; when even the chief executive
of the state says " you must strap your shot-
guns upon your backs and defend yourselves "
—in such a state of affairs it is useless to speak
of successful self-government. As regards the
most important functions of government the
people of this state are not governing them-
selves—they are simply grinning aud bearing
and trusting to luck and Providence.
EDITORIAL BREVITIES.
—Beecher thinks spiritualism is too
thin.
—Old Vanderbilt had an iron will—
before he died.
—During the recent raid one of the
stock raisers had an arrow escape.
—Tweed was smart after all. He
died just in time to miss the revival of
the Beecher scandal.
—Civilization is making great pro-
gress in Texas. There will be at least
a dozen men hung by the law this year.
—Bergh should come to Texas and
prevent some of the worn-out old po-
litical hacks being overworked during
the campaign.
—As far as this country is concerned
the Paris Exposition will be a failure
unless Chandler and Howe both attend
it, and get drowned coming back.
—There is said to be a man in New
York whose views about the Beecher
case have not been given to the public,
but he can't be found.
—The Houston Telegram, hints that
the editor of the Waco Examiner is
only an imitation Granger—a modified
Horace Greeley.
—A man wrestled with a bear and
got squeezed to death, before a highly
intelligent audience, in a city several
thousand miles north of San Antonio.
—The secretary of war should direct
that the battle-flags of the army be in-
scribed with the names of the latest
victories of the Mexicans, such as " Rio
Grande City Jail," "San Elizario,"
and, the latest of all, the " Port Ewell
Raid"—provided, of course, Senor Zj-
macona gives his consent.
—The Texans are not in the least ex-
asperated at the murders and robberies
committed by Mexican raiders. On the
contrary, the Texans will consider
themselves in great luck if Senor Zama-
cona, assisted by U. 8. Consul Wilson
and some suffering U. S. lieutenant on
the Rio Grande, do not prove that the
murder and robberies were committed
upon Mexicans in Mexico by Texas ruf
flans.
It is asserted by the New York Star

unanimously that it was highly expe
dient to open places of this character on
Sundays, for the benefit of a large por-
tion of the public who would otherwise
be excluded from their influence. Th:s
view was taken by the bishop of Sal-

The Prince and tlie Boston Girl*
A correspondent writing from Paris
to a, London newspaper of the Prince
of Wales's doings at the latest opera
ball says: " The masks themselves were
not blameless in this matter of popular
delusion, for they willfully confirmed
the wild guesses of the crowd by what
must have been mendacious reports—
'Mat's il f st tres gentU, ce Prince RoyaV
'And his French—O, I assure you, not
the slightest trace of accent; only to
think he was defiling his tongue with
German less than a week ago!' ' But
you speak English; why did you not
try him in his own lingo?' ' They told
me before I went in to pretend to take
him for a Frenchman, imbecile:! don't
you see th»t he too has to wear a mask
when he comes here?* Americans ru-h
in where sylphs (at leas1) of the opera
ball fear to tread, and as the story
goes, all these well meant en-
deavors to preserye the incognito
were fustrated by a lively lady from
the States, ' I want to see him; tha''s
what I want—therel' and, after a feebls
resistance, her word became law to the
member of the jacky to whom she men-
tioned the wish. 'But you must speak
French ' 'I shall just sp^ak what lin
guage I like—there.' 'We are a mixed lot
in the loge; you will not meet any other
lady.' 'I have my domino—what does
that signify to me?' They went in
—note the occasional circumstantiality
of the legend—and the mysterious fair
one rpsned the conversation in the Bos-
tonese. Her illustrious interlocutor an
swered her in as choice English—btm
sang ne pent inentir, even in sport.
'May I ask you a question?' said the
Bostoman. 'Certainly, if you will let
me rtp'y in my own way.' Then what
do you here?' 'What do you?' 'I came
to see you, said the lady.' 'Pardon me,'
returned the prince, "for saying that if I
had known I was to meet a femme du
monde I might never have come.' The
other looked round at her companions
in the box, and 'concluded to go.'"
Tlie Great barratry Fraud.
Baltimore, Md., April 22 —Judge
Giles, in the United States District
Court, to day dismissed the libel against
the cargo of the British brigantine Alice,
aiias Alexis, which had Oeen filed by
District Attorney Sterling for violation
of the navigation laws. It wilt ba re-
membered that the vessel and cargo
have been held by the authorities to
await developments in the great barra-
try fraud of her owners and officers in
pretending to have cleared her from
Porto Cabello when the facts show that
she was cleared from Laguyra for Ham-
burg. Kinnear, who claimed to be the
owner of vessel and cargo, with the
captain and crew of the vessel disap
p^ared shortly after arriving in Balti-
more, and has not been seen since. The
cargo of coffee and hides, worth $100,-
000, has beeu delivered to James Carey
Coale, agent for the owneis
• Mr. Coale at once made arrangements
to ship the cargo to Hamburg by the
steamship America, which sails for Bre
men May 2. A part of the coffee was
put on board of the America to day.
The vessel is still in the custody of the
United States authorities, there being
other claims against her yet to be satis-
fied. Mr. Coale has instituted proceed
ings to recover damages for detention
of the cargo in the name of the owners
in Hamburg.
The claims for damages by the own-
ers of the cargo, and also a claim of
tievering & Co. for $1000 advances to
Kinnear on the coffee will be settled,
no doubt, and taken out cf the proceeds
of the sale of the vessel. The remain-
der will be forfeited to the govern-
ment. It is not believed that Kinnear,
who was undoubtedly the real owner
of the vessel, nor Captain Campbell,
will ever turn up in Baltimore unless

Love Come* With the fis-PIant.
Miss Lei>\a sends the following origi-
nal poem to the New York World from
Navasota, Texas:
To
1. A3 wide as the ocean and as fath-
omless as the deep; as true as the stars
in the broad canopy keep; and as faith-
ful as the sun to give light to the
world—just so is my love to thee,
though not an atom unfurled.
2. But on and on the world roll
round and round. I will bury my love;
from my lips not a sound. I will hide
it so deep not a human shall know the
cause of my sorrow that cling to me so.
3 I will always be joyous, or pre'end
evermore, as on through this wilder-
ness I must ever, ever go, until death
shall claim me. O, then I will be free
from this cold world, for cold it must
be.
4. For the one that I love most, I
never can claim, for the hand of another
I know he has gained. So, come joy!
come sorrow! I will take a part in all;
but none in this world shall know the
secret of my fall.
J
Why ladies are called ducks: Because
they are not all tame. Because there
is a good deal of the sport to be got
out of the wild ones. Because they
may be captured. Because they may
be sold. Because, as proved by the re-
sults of the public examinations, they
may be plucked. Because, as we can
see in the illustrated newspapers, they
may be drawn. Because they may be
beautifully done, a good deal of butter
being usually employed in the process.
Because they are often well basted.
Because they are always dressed in
some fashion for dinner. Because the;
have long bills. Because there are al
ways plenty of them in the market.

AN ORDINANCE—No. 55—Pro-
viding for the procure ment of money in
anticipation of taxes to meet the general ex-
penses of adminibtering the government.
Whereas by the estimate and appropriation
made by the city council on the 31st day of
Janiavy, 1877, of the probable revenue of the
nity for the municipal year beginning March
1, 1877, it appears that the average sum esti
meted for the general expenses of adminis
tering the city government is $17,487 per
month ; and whereas the estimate and appro-
priation made by r.^e city council on the 21st
day of January, 1878, of the probable revenue
of the city for the municipal year beginning
March 1. 1878. it appears that the average
sum estlm-tted for the general expenses «.f
administering th* city government is $ 18,P43
per m<>nth; ai d whereas there is no monpy in
the treasury to meet the appropriation for
said general expenses f r the months of De-
cember, January and February lasr past, and
no means within the control or subject to the
use of the c -uncil whereby mo t-y can be
obtained to pay said accrued expenses for
December, January and February, or to pay
said estimated general expenses accruing in
the administration of the government for the
months of March, April, May, June. Julv and
August, 1878; and whereas the duty devolved
on the Council by the charter to enforce mu-
nicipal regulations for the protection of the
health, proj erry and lives cf the people can
n »t be performed, nor government main-
tained and administe-ed, nor the credit of
the city protected, unless funds be realiz-d
to meet said expenses, until money can be re-
alized from taxes levied for the current mu-
nicipal year; therefore
Be it ordained by the City Councii of the
city of Qalves on:

count of general purposes, the ma'urity of
