Tlic Dignity of Journalism.
At a complimentary banquet given by
the Lotus Club, of New York, to White-
law Iteid, its retiring president and
editor in-cliief of the New York Tribune,
one of the speakers referred to the si-
lence Mr. Iteid had maintained under
personal attacks in connection with the
conduct of the Tribune. Mr. Ilcid re-
plied that he believed the people, for
whom newspapers arc published, have
no interest in the personal quarrels of
editors. This self-abnegation is worthy
of imitation by many members of the
profession who seem imbued with the
old sentiment, *' I am the State." I am
the paper may do for the cross-roads
journalist who edits, prints, publishes
and distributes the paper all with his
own hands, and at the same time does
duty as fighting editor, taking his regu-
lar punishment once a week like
^ a martyr and omitting an issue when-
ever there is anything in the way
of business, sickness or amusement out-
side to claim bis attention. The princi-
pal compensation of a large class of such
journalists is the supposed personal im-
portance they derive from their calling,
and they feel bound to stand ever ready
to resist to the extent of their manhood
any supposed want of respect to the
press. In England, they say, personal
Journalism is unknown. It is the paper,
and not the editor or publisher, that
the public recognize. The paper
neither indulges nor suffers from per-
sonal animosities. More than that.
The journal is self-poised and inde-
pendent. It is not the pensioner of
small politicians, factions or parties;
but labors for the public and draws its
support from that source. This, at
least, Is the theory, and it ought to be
the fact, in this country as well as in
England. As the Baltimore Sun says, in
the United States,?
Too frequently our newspapers are mere or-
gans of party or faction, or of some private
■chrmc or upeculati"" spsrt from the journal
Itself, and. what is worse, seem to take a de-
light in Indulging a low and demoralizing tone.
Even when not willfully making themselves
panderers to a depraved political or moral
taste, there are journals which never seem
able to understand that the legitimate busi-
ness of journalism is to be of use and value to
the community, and which, unfortunately for
themselves, fall into tho mistake of supposing
that a short and easy way of building them-
selves up is to endeavor to pull others down.
Nothing is so offensive to such papers as the
prosperity of journals which have been built
up on legitimate principles. In some eases
these editors never having been able to conduct
a successful enterprise themselves.seem unable
to conceal their subsequent mortification, and
are constantly spitting their venom at those
whose only fault is that they have not been as
Imbecile and unprosperous as themselves.
We have seen the spint of envy and detrac-
tion cropping out In such qua1 ters in our own
city in frequent captious allusions, untruthful
and malicious, and often silly and shallow,
and always utterly unprovoked, to the Sun.
Apart from their falsehood and ill-nature,
such wanton violations of courtesy and decen-
cy could scarcely be attempted among the
members of any other vocation. In general
we take no notice of these ebullitions of the
envy anil spite engendered by conscious in-
competency and mortifying disappointments,
having better use for our space and not wish-
ing to bore our readers. We might encour-
age these snarling assailants to continue their
assaults if we envied them, as the course
they are pursuing generally brings a journal
to grief. They underrate the common sense
and sense of decency of the community, who
take no interest in personalities, and who pre-
and sense of decency of the community, who
fer to support new spa|s-rs of character, intel-
ligence and dignity.
Nkw York merchants are troubled
by the changes taking place in the
grain trade. For the quarter ending
with March the receipts of corn at Bal-
timore, Philadelphia and Boston aggre-
gated 1:1.730,000 bushels, against 3,5:i3,-
(KJO for New York; the receipts at Bal-
timore more than doubling those of the
great metropolis, amounting to 7,733,000
bushels. For the tirst week of April
the receipts at New York were 55,000
bushels corn; 192,000 at Baltimore;
180,000 at Philadelphia; and 05,000 at
Boston. The World says that the com-
merce of New York is suffering to an
extent never before known, and it is
evident that if tllfe causes that produce
the lamented decline are not arrested,
the commercial ascendency of the city
will in time be lost forever.
Coi„ Geoboe W. Carter has taken a
new departure, or. rather, returned to
his old avocation, and again appears in
the role of a minister of the gospel.
The Alexandria QaaeUe has the follow

Virginia, ex minister, ex-politician, ex lawyer,
ex secretary of Pinchback. having become dis-
Elisted with politics, law and Radicalism, the

this wicked world and will once more go into
the ministry, having been offered the charge
of a congregation in New York.
Brother Beecher will have to look to
his laurels, or he may wake up some
fine morning and find himself distanced
by the ex-Texas Colonel.
A section of country one hundred
and twenty-five miles long and forty
wide, embracing nearly the whole of
the parishes of Concordia and Cata-
houla, in Louisiana, is submerged from
the overflow of the Mississippi. It will
lie impossible to make a crop this sea-
son, cattle have l»;en drowned, and
many persons will suffer, unless re
lieved by charity.
I'kksidknt Grant, in the matter of a
nominee as his successor, evidently be-
lieves with Mrs. Malaprop, that " Ca-
parisons are odorous." Any man that

good enough for him.
Speaker Kerr has written a letter
to chairman of Democratic Committee

STATE PRESS.
The Dallas Herald remarks as follows
on the very liberal allowance of the
Governor to the agent for bringing
home the Texas indemnity bonds;
Giddlngs's fee for his little pleasure excur-
sion to Europe was very comfortable, almost
as good as Moody's commissions for the sale
of Texas bonds. Messrs. Merrick A Durant
say that Mr. Oiddings never participated in the
litigation respecting these bonds in any way
whatever; never appeared in court, and never
drew up a single paper #r even suggested an
idea in connection with the recovery of the
bonds, yet he and his partner got $31,000 in
cash. A cool $31,000! and out of the pockets
of the people of Texas.
The Frontier Echo thinks it would be
wise on the part of the honorable
County Court of Jack county to pro-
vide for the speedy erection of a fire-
proof vault for the safe keeping of the
records of the Clerk's, Sheriff's and
Surveyor's offices. A good suggestion
which applies to many other counties.
Irreparable injury has been done to
some counties by the destruction of
their records.
A country paper suggests, as a means
of avoiding the repetition of old names
for towns and postoffices, that Texas
hereafter adopt sonorous Indian titles,
and instances some such names long
familiar to Northern cities and villages.
As the meaning is never preserved by
using the Indian words, would it not
be as well to reduce these pretty names
to English. General Merritt, of the
United States army, has been making
up a long list of the names of the In-
dians who get their rations at Red Cloud
agency and other posts, and gives the
translations. Some of them are quite pret-
ty in English; others " to the contrary,
quite the reverse." Here are a few;
Swift Bird, Cloud Shield, Charging
Shield, Big Star, Fast Thunder, Hunts
the Enemy, Keeps the Battle, Long
Whirlwind, Lone Wolf, Lightning
Striker, Thunder Hawk, Pawnee Killer,
Bed Cloud, White Thunder and Road
of the Sun. These might suit our ro-
mantic contemporary; but how would he
like the following: Takes Things, Wash-
erwoman,Sand Frog, Bob-Tail, Big Ribs,
Big Foot, Hole in the Ground, Little
Dog, Black Heart, Screw, Scraper and
Guts, Turkey Legs, Mule head, Pump-
kin Seed, Louse, White Goose, Yellow
Shirt, White Tail, Torn Belly, Two
Tails, Broken Chin, Bull Bead, Gam-
bler, Itching, No Account, Mischief-
Maker, Never Full and Split-Nose

A couple of Red River journals are
indulging in an old-fashioned newspa-
per quarrel. This practice is a species
of barbarism that litis come down from
a past age, and should be abandoned.
First-class journals do not wrangle so.
It takes two to make a quarrel, and a
soft answer turns away wrath. Here is
the way the Louisville Courier-Journal
refuses to quarrel with a paper in a
neighboring city;
The Cincinnati Enquirer has our permission
to publish as many lies or tmths as it pleases
about us. It threatens us with private letters
in its possession. Let it indulge itself copi
ouslv. It is conducted by a set of irresponsi
hie idiots. We are equally indifferent to its
threats and its vulgarity. Its capacity for
lewdness is only equaled by its capacity for
lying.
This is an example of forbearance
that Texas papers will find it easy to
imitate.
" River News," is the heading used
by the Houston Commercial for the
bayou craft. The following is its re-
port for yesterday: The steamer Diana
and three or four brigs (?) and schoon-
ers were in port this morning. Busi-
ness commences to be very dull with
them.
The Gatesville Sun says citizens of
Bell and Milam counties, concerned in
the negro burning recently, are much
exercised in consequence of some of
the parties having turned State's evi-
dence. Many good citizens arc involv-
ed, and many have left their homes.
The Lampasas Dispatch repudiates
the doctrine that the cow-hide has been
played out, and says:
Honest men need not fear the whipping-
post and branding iron, which we are going to
hare established, as they are only intended
for rogues and law-breakers. We don't want
a case of petty theft to cost the county and
State two or three hundred dollars, as has
been the case in this county. Warm their
backs a few times with the cow-hide, and
then, if they will still be rogues put the brand-
ing iron on them, so that society may be pro
tec ted from their depredations.
The State QazetU says:
Coke's desire to be promoted to the Sena
torship comes from his knowledge that his
financial policy threatens Texas with dis-
honor, ruin to her credit, or intolerable op-
pression of the people.
The Free Press says the people of
San Marcos do not want the Western
Penitentiary at the head of the river,
and wants a public meeting so to in-
struct the Representative of Hays

Capt. Kingsbury adds:

colorado county.
Major Rowan Green, Attorney at Law
and General Collecting Agent, has is-
sued a printed circular of five cdlumns,
descriptive of Colorado county. He
sends the News a copy with the request
*' please copy," adding, by way of
rider, "we traid with your city."
The News would, be happy to comply
with the request, but want of room con-
fines it to the following extract:
" This county is about sixty or seven-
ty miles from the Gulf coast, and was
settled in the early history of Texas,
and at the present writing, (April 2,
1876,) some of tho old pioneers who
fought and bled for Texas independ-
ence are here enjoying peace, health
and plenty, the fruits of their hard-
earned rewards. The face of the coun-
try presents a beautiful undulating
level, with natural drainage for all pur-
poses. The Mluvial lands of Colorado
river will average from 10 to 20 feet in
depth, and of course are inexhaustible.
The prairie lands are from two to five
feet deep. The bottoms are covered
with forests of gigantic oaks, elms, ash,
Cottonwood, willow, pecan, wild peach
and canebrakes. The county produces
cotton, corn, sugar cane, peas, oats,
sweet and Irish potatoes, melons, grapes
and vegetables of every kind, besides
deer, turkey, wild goose, wild duck,
mule-eared rabbit, prairie chicken,
quail, plover, snipe, coon, opossum, the
gray and cat squirrel, the wild spotted
cat, and now and then a stray prairie
wolf is found, and such fish as the cat
buffalo, gaspergou, irout, black bass and
perch. As a stock country for hogs,
horses, cattle and sheep, Colorado
county is unsurpassed. Columbus is
the county seat of Colorado county, and
situated on the west bank of the Colo-
rado river. It is a most beautiful, sand}1
location. The conhty seat, Columbus,
contains a population of from three to
four thousand souls. There are about
twenty-five or thirty dry goods and gro-
cery merchants in Columbus, and all
driving a lively business. The bottom
lands and black sandy prairie lands gen-
erally produce about fourteen hundred
pounds of seed cotton, frequently
1800 pounds. Corn, from 40 to 00 bush
els, and sometimes 100. Sweet and Irish
potatoes, from 200 to 500 bushels.
Lands in cultivation, well improved,
near Columbus and-on the railroad, are:
worth from $15 to $80 per acre. The
farmers have but little disposition to
sell. Further from market and rail-
road facilities the lands are cheaper.
Unimproved lands can be bought, at
from $1 to $10 per acre." Those desir
ing further information should write to
Major Rowan Green, attorney at law
and general collecting agent, Columbus,
for a copy of the circular.

The Register says a negro woman of
Sherman was tried before the church
council of Baptists, of which denomi-
nation she was a member, and dismiss
ed for a violation of church rules. She
was completely overcome by the de-
cision. The sense of her shame and the
peril of her soul operated so strongly
upon her that she went into convulsions.
The next morning she was found dead
in her bed. The affair is the subject of
much discussion among the colored
population.

presidio county.
In this county, a quarter of a mile
from the Rio Grande, and about thirty
miles below Fort Quitman, amid rugged
mountains, are situated the hot springs
of Texas, rivaling, if not far superior, to
the well known hot springs of Arkan
sas. There are two springs, about 130
feet apart, each about ten feet in
diameter, inclosed in a natural circular
rim about three feet high. The water
is clear, and of an unknown depth;
since attempts to sound them with 100
feet of line has failed to reach bottom.
Gases are continually ascending to the
surface, keeping the water in continual
agitation. These waters are strongly
impregnated with minerals, and have a
temperature, one of 110 desrees, and
the other of 94. They are" 3200 feet
above the sea.
llano county.-
In the northeastern portion of this
county the falls of Falls Creek leap
down a perpendicular height of one
hundred and twenty feet. The stream
is about sixty feet wide at the top
of the fall and descends into a
basin about a half an acre in extent, of
deep, clear water. Ferns, mosses and
climbing plants hang in green festoons
from the high rocky precipices which
border the stream Cedars and other
evergreens grow on the surrounding
cliffs, and both cedars and live oaks
abound on the broad plateau at the foot
of the falls. These falls offer unri-
valed advantages for a summer resort,
such as pure, healthy atmosphere,
mountains, lieautiful springs and wa-
terfalls, bathing, fishing, hunting, and
gorgeous views from the summit of the
hills. "
SHACKELFORD COUNTY.
The Frontier Echo gives the particu-
lars of the hanging of Houston Faught
at Fort Griffin, Shackelford county, a
lew days since. Twenty-six head of
horses were recently stolen from one
cattle rancho near Griffin;, stock has
been stolen from quite a number of
citizens of the county, also from the
Tonkawa Indians, and it is said stealing
of horses had become so frequent that
the losers could not purchase fresh
stock fast enough to satisfy the demand
of the horse thief. Faught was caught
in the act of stealing ft horse; shot, cap-
tured and conveyed to the military hos-
pital at Fort Griffin for treatment. His
wounds were slight, he was rapidly re-
covering, when a party of mounted
men, armed and disguised, suddenly
made their appearance, arrested and
disarmed the guard, then took him to
the Clear Fork and hung him to a tree.
The following card was found pinned
to Faught's clothing: *' Horse thief No.

with the usual festivities, such as
speaking, singing, feasting, dancing
and a good time generally.

Eds. News—The explanatory card of

gulp, colorado and santa fe road.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in favor of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe Railroad, was received
with a degree of satisfaction and
pleasure commensurate to the impor
tanee its early extension will give, and
the great benefit to be derived" from it,
in affording cheaper and readier access
to the market of Galveston than hither-
to enjoyed by planters throughqut the
route that road will traverse." Hereto-
fore the farmers in the interior were
wholly dependent on the uncertain con
dition of the roads, rendered at times
almost impassable, to carry their cotton
qnd other products to the nearest rail-
road station—Brenham or Hempstead-
consequently the early completion of
that road will give a new impetus to
agricultural intersts.
Galveston is the natural market for
productions of this section, and plant
trs and merchants will do all in their
power to forward whatever enterprises
may be inaugurated looking to increased
transportation facilities.

April 26, 1876.
Eds. News—It may interest some of
your readers to hear that the Interna-
tional Railroad Company have, through
its surveyors and various representa-
tives, circulated currently the fact that
they leave Georgetown *' out in the
cola" eijjht and a half miles to tine north-
west. Now is the time for the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad Company
to say to Georgetown: we will assist
you to build ana to run a line across
the International directly to Manor,
eighteen miles. A depot at Georgetown
with such shipping facilities as only the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad
can offer to these frontier coun-
ties, will place a damper upon
"the trade" that the Inter-
national Railroad has so blindly left
to the sorelieaded Georgetown citizens
to divert with the funds they offered to
give freely to the International if it
would only make such an angle as
would bring them to Georgetown.

Old Bender, the Kansas murderer,
has been found about as often as Char-
ley Ross, and as often turns out to be
the wrong person. The Mesilla (N. M.)
News says: '* On Thursday morning,
April 13, an old man walked into the
office with his blankets in a bundle. He
answers the description of Bender, of
Kansas. He betrayed himself by talk
ing. He was detected by J. M. Dunlap,
Esq., traveling agent of the Kansas Pa-
cific Railroad. Sheriff Barela and Dun
lap followed Bender, who was on foot,
into the mountains and captured him.
He says he will go anywhere else but
to Kansas, which fact itself looks very
