The Austin Gazette, mentioning the
presence in the state capital of Mr. Kop-
pcrl, of Galveston, who was chairman
of the house finance committee of the
fifteenth legislature, remarks:
Mr. Kopperl has no superior as a finan-
cier, and had iiis advice been followed
there would have been no deficiencies m
revenues or discounts on state war
rants. The Gazette at the time sought to
enforce his views as essential to the pre-
servation of the credit of the state and the
rood name of the democratic party. We
suggest the finance committees invite Mr.
K. into a conference, and we doubt not his
advice will go far to relieve them of sur-
rounding difficulties.
The salient point in the " views " re-
ferred to proposed a temporary addition
to the ordinary tax for current expenses,
so as to obviate a deficiency and get the
business of the stafc treasury on a cash
basis without any increase of bonded in-
debtedness. All can now see the mis-
chief involved in the policy which was
actually pursued. Aftersight is clearer
than foresight, but foresight, even
where dim, is a more useful faculty.
The McKinney Advocate reads the
News and the people of Galveston a
lecture because they did not support
candidates for municipal offices, at the
late election in this city, 04 jparty
grounds. The Advocate says:
In the defeat of a nominee of the party
tho injury bestowed rests not upon the
candidate only, but principally upon the
party that named him as its" candidate.
It can but be regarded bv all thinking
persons that Galveston is not sincerly
Democratic when it suffers a nominee to
be defeated, especially when that man is a
good man and eminently qualified for the
position to which he aspired. The re-
markable impetus that has of late been
given towards the favoring of bolters and
independent candidates is detrimental to
the best interests of the people and party,
and should not be encouraged. If tho
democrats are true to themselves they will
no longer listen to the deceitful voice that
lures them away from party ranks and a
strict democratic organization.
The Advocate ought to know that there
is virtually but one party in Galveston,
as in the state at large, with the excep.
tion of a few counties. There was no
republican ticket in the late election
here, and people of all parties professed
to be voting for those regarded as the
best men. When nominating conven-
tions are attended by tho mass of the
party and represent its views, their sug-
gestions will be heeded by democrats,
but party cries are unheeded where no
political interests are at stake.
The Lampasas Dispatch. a democratic
paper of decided though liberal views,
lays :
We are plad to know that judge E. B.
Turner, for several years judge of this
district, has been appointed by president
Hayes as judge of the new federal district
in northern Texas. We know of none
more worthy or competent. We are
pleased with the appointment, and all our
frontier people will be pleased at his pro-
motion.
The Dispatch, though democratic,
holds an even balance, and does not con-
sider political fidelity as an excuse for
official shortcoming. It asks questions
and makes remarks as follows :
What has bocome of the committee
which was intended to whitewash the su-
perintendent of the deaf and dumb asy-
lum? We dislike to tlnd fault with a le-
gislature calling itself democratic, but we
must confess that the doings of the present
assembly at Austin remind us of the time
when the twelfth legislature was luxuriat-
ing in such extravagance and general
tritlingness. Under radical control we ex-
pected nothing letter: but we had hoped
that democracy would clean out the
Augean stables of corruption and give us
a good and acceptable government, yo
far it has failed, and from present indica-
tions wo have but little to hope for. Ex-
travagance, place-making, whitewashing
government officials and spending the peo-
ple's money seem to be the order of the
day. When will these things stopi A new
and empty penitentiary which has cost the
state $'iOO,OUO or $300,000, an agricultural
and mechanical college which teaches mili-
tary tactics and how to preserve the health
of a mule, and an agricultural and me-
chanical college for negroes, carried on in
euch a "hifalutin" way that the poor
negroes can't go to it, are luxuries which
the tax-payers of Texas have paid for.
The Belton Journal says a good word
for judge Turner, who was nominated to
the office of judge of the new federal
district court established in Texas by
congress. The Journal is decidedly
democratic in politics:
Though a republican in politics, judge
Turner has the respect and confidence of
men of all parties.' He is justly consid-
ered a sound lawyer and a highly intellec-
tual man. The purity of his life can not
be questioned.
The Mineola Flag comes duly to the
News, but the last number causes a
shade of regret by savin:
We failed to get our Galveston Kews
Wednesday morning, which is usually as
regular in its arrival as the mails, it is
like machinery jumping a cog for a news-
paper man to miss an issue of the News.
The News shares in this disappoint
ment. When a paper fails to reach its
readers, the publishers feel like Crusoe
did when, after constructing his boat
with infinite labor, he was unable to
Jaunch it.
The Menardville correspondent of the
Mason Neirs-Item is growing sarcastic.
"Writing of the frequent robberies of
mail stages at Peg!eg crossing, lie says:
As the legislature has recently favorably
considered a bill for the encouragement of
the building of fish-traps, and has aired the
dog-tax question in a manner that elimi-
nated a lofty, enlightened and patriotic
Statesmanship, we can not see the impro-
priety of levying an occupation tax upon
thes» road agents, as they have been ply
ing their nefarious vocation at the afore
said place for the last two or three years.
We are no longer in danger of Indian
raids, as Gov. Roberts proposes to make it
a felony for the nomads of tho plains to
come upon Texas soil.
The papers indulge in tho compli-
nents of the season toward spring, but
effect to dislike original poetic contri-
butions on the subject and confine them-
pelves to simple prose. The Gonzales
Inquirer simply says " flea time has
come." The Mason Neics-Ttcm says:
The days are near at hand when we will
fce bedeviled with spring-poetry, fleas and
Dther nuisances.
The Mexia Ledger hits the agricul-
tural college and the agriculturist him-
self, as well as the legislature, in the fol-
lowing paragraph :
The legislature of T%ras is spending
tnuch of its time trying to create a manual
labor department for the A. and M. col-
lege, and to repeal the smoke-house tax.
The first measure has failed in every state
where tried, to be a blessing, except to a
very few persons who pay no tax for its
pupport; and the last measure is an at-
tempt to evade the just burdens of tax-
bearing. Why a farmer is any more en
titled to immunity from paying tax than
a mechanic, a stock-raiser, a merchant, or
R professional man. we presume not even
Solomon himself, were lie here, could tell.
Fie upon such class legislation!
j> The Tribune says all the Orangeites
•who attended Mardi Gras at Galveston,
-were highly delighted with the sights
they saw.
The Mexia Ledger goes as far in favor
of the proposition to establish a state
printing office as to say:
That the deaf mutes can bo made to do a
very large majority of the work in a state
printing office' and be personally greatly
benefitted by the acquisition of the print-
er's art, as well as a great benefit to the
state financially, does not, with us, admit
of a doubt.
The Leadville fever seems to have in-
fected all parts of the state, and a great
many over-sanguine people are being
carried oil by it, a majority fo whom are
doomed to disappointment and loss. The
Waller county Courier states that—
Mr. Geo. Ellis, of Hockley, has received
& letter from a friend in Leadville who
does not give as glowing an account of the
place as some here would have us believe,
^loney does not hang on bushes, nor it it
picked up in the road to Leadville: it
takes exercise there as well as here to get
it. Besides all this he says that there are
thousands of men there out of employment
and can not get it. and that the few are
doin^ well where the many are doing
nothing.
The Courier records the death of
judge D. McCrimmon, at one time as-
sistant editor of that paper, and more
recently editor of the Bellville Beacon,
who died at Courtney on the 3rd inst.
The Courier says :
Judge McCrimmon was a good writer
jtnd clever gentleman. He leaves one son,
a lieutenant in the united states army, to
piourn his death.
Mr. Tucker has retired from the tn
pod of the Round Rock Headlight, Mr.
Minor H. Brown taking the place, and
promising his best endeavors to keep the
light bright and burning. The supply
of oil, however, is none of the best, and
the publisher calls on the citizens of thiee
place to increase it, promising the best
recompense at his command, in the
words which follow:
Will tho business men of Round Rock
encourage and support us? Whether they
will or not the opportunity is theirs.
" Scratch our back and we'll scratch
yours!"

the commissioner's court will levy any.
If there should be a levy it will not exceed
ten cents on the one hundred dollars worth
of property Mrs. J. A. Fletcher was
killed on Thursday night, by the fall of a
tree. It appears that a tree in the field,
near the fence, had caught fire during the
day, and her son. a lad about fourteen
years old, fearing it would fail during the
night and set fire to the fence, called for
an axe to chop it down. Most of the fam-

increase in this branch of live stock is at-
tributed to the bountiful supply of running
water all over t he county.... Mr. Wm.
Gandy, Jr., while fishing in the Bosque,
near Meridian, caught an eel 011 his hook,
when a cat-fish weighing more than eight
pounds thinking it an excellent opportunity
to get a good morsel, swallowed the eel
much to the discomfiture of the latter. The
eel passed through the gills of the fish and
twisted himself around the line, and thus
both were bi-ought safely into port. The
eel was three feet long The principal

et als. vs. E. G. Hanrick. the cause is dis-
missed, to which ruling of the court the
plaintiffs except and give notice of appetil
to the supreme court. The decision of the
court is based upon an act entitled " An
act to define the civil rights of aliens,"
passed by our legislature in 1854, which
provided in substance that aliens should
nave in Texas such rights to acquire real
property by purchase or descent as is con-
ferred 011 citizens of Texas by the laws of
the country of such alien, and because by
the laws existing in the united kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland at the date of
the death of Edward Hanrick, in IStio, no
citizen of Texas could inherit real estate
in the kingdom, and the passage of the
English naturalization law of 1870 did not
operate to divest out of the defendant tne
estate vested in him by our law in 1365.

Flatonia A rgus: Several of our citizens
returned the latter part of last week from
Galveston, w hither they had been witness-
ing the Mardi Gras festivities. They
seemed highly delighted with their visit.
The merchants of Flatonia have, dur-
ing the present season, shipped cotton as
follows: Harrison & Lane, 2417 bales:
Tuttle & Cockrill. 2300; Simmons & Beck-
ham. 369; J. Scnlesenger, 298; B. C.
Foster, 206; John Lane <fc Co., 874; Van-
ham & Bunting, 515; L. Freudlender, 110 .
Yeager & Son, 1054; Wm. Fordtran, 20.
There has been considerable shipped by
parties not residing or doing business here.
Mr. St. John Primm, of West Point, has
shipped from this place nearly 500 bales, all
of which was grown on his own farm....
Mr. J. E. Faires has engaged the services
of E. H. Fordtran, Esq., and is busily en-
gaged in surveying an addition to Flatonia
on the west... ?The mining.excitement has
reached Schulenburg. Messrs. Udo Hen-
krodt, Sam Goode, Giles Molona. Louis
Mueller and Walter McKinnon left here
last Tuesday for Leadville, Colorado.
They started in a wagon, and expect to
reach the mines some time in May Mr.
J. D. O. Daniel has completed his tank,
which will furnish an abundance of water
for his steam jjin and mill. The work on
the building will soon be progressing.
GONZALES.
Inquirer: A serious accident befell Mrs.
M. Colley, this week. She was descending
the stairs at Mr. D. Jones's residence, and
while near the top the heel of her shoe
caught on the step, precipitating her
downward. The fall broke both arms near
the wrist The drouth now prevailing is
rather unusual at this seasou of the year.
It is retarding farming operations very
materially. Gardens are at a stand-still.
WTater-carts in our city are kept busy,
some of our citizens being compelled to
use river water for drinking and house-
hold purposes.. From Capt. C. EL Little-
field, resident near Belmont, who paid us
a visit Tuesday, we learn that farmers in
that section about two weeks earlier with
their planting preparations this season
than usual. Most of them are through
planting corn.
GRAYSON.
Whitesboro Democrat: The cars* almost
here, and every body is jubilant Three
brick buildings, to occupy a front of 125
feet, are on the tapis, and the work has
commenced Speculation is rife; new
streets have been laid out: additionsj)lat-
tinl, and town-lots by the hundreds offered
for sale. Since work was begun on the
Denisou and Pacific railroad about forty
new buildings of all kinds have been erect-
ed, one-half of which are business
houses. Should the terminus of the
railroad remain here for one or
two years to come, Whitesboro
will certainly be a town of considerable
Importance. At present nearly all kinds
of business are represented. There are
some twenty general stores, three drug
stores, three hardware stores, four hotels,
four restaurants, six saloons, three bake^
ries, four blacksmith shops, one wagon re-
pair shop, three lawyers, six physicians,
and an excellent weekly newspaper. Tho
present population is not far from 1300,
and is being augmented each day by fresh
arrivals Wheat looking finely, the only
drawback being the small acreage sown.

spected citizen, died at his residence, near
Navasota. on last Wednesday Mr. W.
W. Bryson, of Bedias. called and informed
us of the killing, Thursday morning, of
Mr. Bass Wilkerson by Mr. Tom William-
son. It seems that Williamson accused
Wilkerson of starting a prairie fire that
burned some of the former's fencing. where-
uj>on Wilkerson possessed himself of an
ax and sought Williamson at his home.
As Wilkerson stepped upon the gallery
with his ax he was fired upon and killed
by Williamson. The deceased was keep-
ing a store in Grimes prairie. Williamson
surrendered himself to the officers of the
law....At riantcrsville Thursday morn-
ing, about 1 o clock, Mr. A. Williams dis-
covered a fire in the cotton yard of Messrs.
R. H. Grey and Myer & Meachuin, which
then contained only about 10 bales. An
alarm soon brought together a number of
citizens, whose well-directed efforts suc-
ceeded in suppressing the flames, which,
had they, continued to an adjoining build-
ing, would have endangered the whole
town. The losses are: Gus Maywald, 4
bales; R. H. Gray, 1 bale: I. S. Myers, 2
bales, and Myer & Meachum, 1 bale. The
fire is believed to have been the work of an
incendiary.

wealth: an abundance of timber; is well

plenty of lovely building sites. And yet
Hunt county is to-day in a stationary con-
dition, with little or no improvements go-
ing on within her borders, simply for want
of railroad facilities. There are railroads
all around her, but none inside the county.

News Office. Monday, March 10.
The mai kit for the leading staple has
shown considerable life to-day, under more
inspiring local and foreign news, light re-
ceipts at the ports, and an improvement in
the advices from Providence. The demand
was general but sales were limited by the
increased valuations which factors placed
upon their lists. Ordinary, good ordinary
and low middling were quoted Xc- higher
at the close.
The local receipts continue light and
thero are signs of the exhaustion of the
crop at many points, especially on the line
of the Central road.
In the hide market the receipts to-day
were heavy, but included some through
shipments to the Mallory line. Buvers
have showed very little spirit. Tele-
grams were generally discouraging, and a
further reduction in values appears immi-
nent.
In the grain market increased firmness
is apparent. Corn is held higher, and oats
are wanted at quotations. New Orleans
advices report sales of red rust proof
Texas oats to the extent of 2500 sacks at
'MW'Sic per bushel. There is no wheat
selling, but western advices cause holders
of flour to insist on full prices. Bran is
tending up.
In dry goods there is an excellent trade
doing and the salesmen " on the road " are
doiii^ a very good business. Hardware,
too, is selling freely on orders, and drugs
are active.
In the provision market the demand has
fallen off and jobbers report a small busi-
ness at the inside figures paid on Saturday.
The Cincinnati Price Current of Thursday,
tho 0th inst., says that ou the day previous
the market for* provisions ruled steadier,
ami moijp disposition to purchaso was
manifested, which encouraged holders into
more of confidence than they had enter-
tained for some days, but adds that there
are evidently some misgivings as to the
future, and more especially as to this
month, the belief prevailing that if no es-
sential break in prices shall occur under
the adjustment of contracts maturing with
this month the position will be esteemed
strong, and a tendency to higher prices
likely to develop. The weakest articles
have been short rib sides and lard, the lat-
ter being depressed under the large appar-
ent stocks, but behind this is the unques-
tionable fact that the summer production
will be mnch smaller than last year, and
also that stocks of lard now held* at coun-
try points are relatively small.
THE WAREHOUSE RECEIPT " bill.
The bill providing for the negotiability
of warehouse receipts, now before the leg-
islature, provides that bdis of lading,
shippei-s' and warehouse receipts, repre-
senting produce or property shipped or
delivered and drawn to order, shall vest
the absolute title to said property in the
person to whose order it is drawn, and that
such instruments shall be transferable
from one party to another, the title to the
property going along with the transfer.
The necessity for such a law lias been
felt frequently in this and other commer-
cial entrepots in the state, and its
passage will enable business men
to utilize the merchandize and produce
they hold on consignment as a collateral
whenever they may desire to borrow. The
shipper uses his bill of lading in tnis man-
ner now, but the commission merchant as
the law now stands is compelled to make a
complete sale or deed of trust on each
separate piece of property in order to raise
money on ic. In Missouri and a number
of other states the warehouse receipt is
sought for as the most desirable security
by investors.
Boards of trade and chambers of com-
merce at various point* in other states
have at various times taken action recom-
mending the passage of such a law, and
merchants in all sections of the country
have frequently lost heavily for the want
of some such safeguard. "The benefit of
the law to the interior merchant would bo
as great as to any other, it would enable
any dealer in need of money to store a part
of his stock and borrow on the receipt.
The bill as now before the legislature is as
follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the legisla-
ture of the state of Texas, that every per-
son in whose name any cotton, sugar,
merchandise of any kind" shall be shipped
shall be deemed the true owner thereof so
far as to entitle the consignee of any such
merchandise to a lien thereon for money ad-
vanced. or negotiable security given by
such consignee to or for the us« oi" the per-
son in whose name such shipment suali
have been made; and for any money or
negotiable security received by the person
in whose name such shipment shall have
been made, for the use of such consignee.
Section 2. The lien provided for in the
preceding section shall not exist where
su. h consignee shall have notice, by the
biil of lading, or otherwise, at or ber >re
the advancing of any money or security
by him. or at or before the receiving of
such money or security by the person in
whose name the shipment shall have been
made, that such person is not the actual
and bona fide owner thereof.
Section 3. Every factor, commission
merchant or other agent entrusted with the
possession of any biil of lading, custom
house permit, or warehouse-keepers receipt
for the delivery of any such merchandise,
and every such factor or agent not having
the documentary evidence of title, who shall
be intrusted with any the possession of any
merchandise for the purpose of sale, or
a security for any advances to be made or
obtained thereon, shall be deemed to be the
true owner thereof so far as to give valid-
ity to any contract made by such agent
with any other person for the sale or dispo-
sition of the whole or any part of such mer-
chandise, for any money advanced, or ne-
gotiable instrument or other obligation in
writing given by such other person upon
the. faith thereof.
Section 4. Every person who shall here-
after accept or take any such merchandise
m deposit from any such agent, as a secu-
rity for any antecedent debt or demand,
shall not acquire thereby, or enforce any
right or interest in or to such merchandise
or document, other than was possessed or
might have been enforced by such agent at
the time of such deposit.
Section 5. Nothing contained in the two
last prerediug sections of this act shall be
construed to prevent tho true owner of
auy merchandise so deposited, from de-
manding or receiving tite same upon repay-
ment of the money advanced, or on restor-
ation of the security given, on the deposit
of such merchandise and U(K)U satisfying
such lieu as may exist thereon in favor of
the agent who may have deposited the
same, nor from recovering any balance
which may remain in the hands of the
person with whom such merchandise shall
have been deposited, as the produce of the
sale thereof, after satisfying the amount
justly due to such person by reason of
such deposit.
Section 6. Nothing contained in this
act shall authorize a common carrier,
warehousekeeper, or other person to whom
merchandise or other property may be
committed for transportation or storage
only, to sell or hypothecate the same.
Section 7. Every factor, commission
merchant or other ageut who shall deposit
any merchandise entrusted or consigned to
him, or auy document so possessed or en-
trusted as aforesaid in which such agent
has no right as owner or for advances
made thereon, as a security for any money
borrowed or negotiable "instrument re-
ceived by such factor or ageut without the
express consent of the true owner of such
merchandise; and every such factor, com-
mission merchant or other agent who
shall, contrary to the express written
instructions of the true owner, sell
any merchandise intrusted or consigned
to him in which such agent has no
right as owner, or for advances made
thereon; and every other person who
shall knowingly connive with, or aid,
or assist any such factor, commission mer-
chant or other agent in any such deposit
or sale shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall
be punished by fine not more than one
thousand dollars nor less than two hun-
dred dollars.
Section S. Tho liens provided for in the
preceding sections of this bill shall not at-
tach to any property stolen or otherwise
fraudulently taken from the possession of
the owner.
The bill was introduced by senator Mc-
Cormick and was referred to the commit-
tee on commerce and manufactory, who
reported favorably to its passage.
During the recent session of congress a
similar law was introduced, but failed to
pass as it was considered a matter that
came more properly within the province
of the states to legislate upon. Construed
liberally the bill brought before congress
was for tho purpose of securing negotia-
bility to aL' receipts for merchandise and
the transfer of ownership of the goods on
personal property mentioned in said instru-
ments. It provided for the punishment of
fraudulently issued receipts or certificates
of deposit.
