i;rant and Secretary Flali.
General Urant ami Senator Cockling
are reported by tbe special Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqui
rcr, in dispatch dated December 23, to
have declared in favor of Secretary FiBh
for President. General Grant in conver-
sation with a friend one day hret week
said : " I have t»odden on too many corns
to be a strong candidate now, and will
bide my time. Secretary Fish is my
choice and I will do all I can to secure
bis nomination and election."
Per contra, a special dispatch to the
New Orleans Picayune, dated December
'J4, says: " The publication of the fact
that the President has the evidence in
his hands of Secretary Fish's duplicity,
for which his resignation will be de
manded, creates great excitement in offi-
cial circles. It is plainly evident that
Fish stands in the President's way in re-
spect to Cuban matters, and the Presi-
dent, intending to remove him, paves the
way by publishing evidences of personal
disloyalty to him, and will allege that as
the cause."
A dispatch from Washington to the
Cincinnati Commercial, dated December
24, confirms the above, and adds further .
I ientlemen who are well informed with
regard to tbe relations between the Pres.
ident and Secretary Fish, assert that the
President ban bad in his hand since the
Virginius affair sworn documentary evi-
dence to establish tbe fact that Mr. Fish
has, ever since 1809, inspired numerous
newspaper articles on our allairs with
foreign nations, which, while they have
bi'en unsparing in criticism and abuse of
the President, have also been filled with
praise of the Secretary. These articles
are said to have been written for the
most part by Sidney Webster, Mr. Fish's
son-in-law, who is the attorney of the
Spanish government, and to have been
printed in one of the most prominent
Democratic newspapers of the country.
It is also alleged that other evidence of
Mr. Fish's duplicity have been accnmu-
latiug in the President's bauds, and that
he is merely awaiting the proper time to
punish tho offender. This is one of tbe
chief reasons why the early resignation
of the Secretary is confidently antici-
pated ; and another one is that the Secre-
tary is believed to be the chief obstacle
at present to the President's purpose to
bring about a war with Spain in behalf
of Cuba.
It would appear that the relations of
the President and Secretary are some-
what mixed.
Ileal li of Another Old Trisn,
the late john i). new f.i.i,.
Departed this life on Tuesday morn-
ing, 1 i'.b inst., at twenty minutes past 5
o'clock, at bis residence in lirs/.oria, John
D. Newell, in the seventy-second year of
his age.
The deceased emigrated from the State
of Alabama to the Province of Texas in
the year 1881, and settled on Caney. in
what is now known as Matagorda county.
On the 20th of March, lfSIj2, Mr. Newell
was married by the < 'atliolic priest of
this diocese, Michael Muldoon, to Miss
Tennessee Cock rill, from the neighbor-
hood of Tuscumbia, Ala., and at that
time on a viBit to friends and relatives in
Austin's Colony. From this union two
daughters and a son survive him. The
gentle and affectionate wife yet awaits
'he summons of the Master to a reunion
with the beloved companion of more
than forty years in that final home,
where the heart's bes'. and holiest afTec
tions, secured by death, are reunited
forever.
The writer's acquaintance with tho de
ceased gentleman commenced in the year
1882, in the month of March or April,
and remained unbroken until the period
of his death, and be takes this occasion
to bear his humble testimony to the
character and deeds of the deceased, in
connection with the early history of
Austin's Colony and the Republic of
Texas, and not to the deceased alone, but
to othvr.t who have passed from tbe
scenes of time, and have few survivors to
bear testimony to their acts and deeds in
laying the foundations of our great State.
The world, in meeting out its honors
and rewards to the heroes of successful
campaigns, is prone to pass by the claims
of the brave counselors, tlie men of
wealth and means, who contributed to
the successful results of tbe war as ma
terially as did those who fought the bat
ties of our colonies with Mexico. No
cumbrous and expensive quartermaster
or commissary departments furnished
the necessary supplies and transporta-
tion for our volunteers. No press-gangs
or purchasing agents were prowling
about the country. Our quartermasters
were McKinney, Mills, Sandy Calvit,
.lames F. Perry, the McNeals, James P.
Caldwell, Joe Minis, Uau Foster, McCor
inick, Duncan, Shepard, Jamison, Bob
Williams,and the subject of this sketch,
John D. Newell, with others, who came
forward in the hour of trials, and con
tributed by hundreds of thousands of
dollars, by horses for the saddle, and
mules fur transportation, not niggardly
and grudgingly, but generously and
freely offering their donations for the
emancipation of their country from tyr
anuy and misrule.
Tlie names of few of these men ap-
pear in tbe reports of battles and victc
ries. Their countrymen of that day had as
signed them to more onerous and respon
sible duties. No telegraph wires in that
day conveyed its messages of warning or
victory from one extreme to tbe other of
our extensive territory; that duty de
volvtd upon those faithful guardians
who were left in every neighborhood and
district, not only to perform this duty
but to see that the commissariat of the
little armies was well supplied ; and with
out the noble services of these men, who
shall say we could have succeeded at all?
Of this noble body of men was ourde
x>arted friend, John D. Newell, who, by
liis /.eal, energy and means, contributed
no largely to our success in the struggle
with Mexico; and his name, with those
of his class, should be held in the same
honor and respect as is accorded
those who fought in those revolutionary
times.

Stale Press.
The IliU County Expositor discusses
the provision in the new constitution
authorizing the people of different mu-
nicipal jurisdictions to prohibit the
liquor traffic therein by a popular vote,
and combats the arguments which are
usually offered against such provisions.
The Expositor believes in moral suasion
as far as it goes, but thinks the only
way to do away effectually and perma-
nently with the sale of liquor is to
prohibit it by law, and for the good
people of each community to see
that the law is rigidly enforced.
The Expositor very truly says that
laws must have the sanction of public
sentiment, or they can only be par-
tially enforced, but remarks that the
tempcrance organizations in Hill
county have become so formidable,
and their influence so extended and
powerful that when the people arc al-
lowed to vote on tho question of pro-
hibition, it will be carried by *n over-
whelming majority.
The Paris North Texan has the name
of Coke up for Governor, Brack for
Attorney General, and Bramlette, of
Lamar, for Commifsioner of the Land
Office.
The North Texan gives the follow-
ing as a sample of what an industrial
and economical young man may ac-
complish by his own labor in Texas:
A young man near Brookston, nine
miles from Paris, whose name is Lewis
Moser, came to that neighborhood from
Alabama in 1873, a total stranger,
without means and without friends,
and at once began to job around, doing
anything and everything that offered,
by which to obtain an honest living,
as he arrived too late to make a crop
that year. At the end of the cropping
season he went into a rude camp and
began making rails for fencing a farm
of fifty acres, for another party, for
which he was tohave the use of the land
the next season. With the assistance
of a young man he cultivated the
whole fifty acres, making a splendid
yield of corn and cotton, enabling him
to go on another year with more ease.
In 1875, he rented the same farm and
twenty acres adjoining. Having
only one man to help him, and that for
only nine months, he cultivated in
good style the whole seventy acres,
making four hundred bushels of corn
and twenty-four bales of cotton; also
five acres of broom-corn, from which
he realized forty dollars per acre. He
has now bought one hundred and eight
acres of splendid land, paying two-
thirds of the purchase money in cash,
and has money enough left to build all
tenant houses, fence the land, and run
him through another cropping season.
The Brownwood Eagle hoists the
name of Coke for Governor, but says
nothing of candidates for other State
offices.
The East Texas Patron condemns the
idea of making a member of the bank-
ing house of Forster, Ludlow & Co.,
Stste Treasurer.
Judge Devine, of San Antonio,
seems likely to be put forward for the
United States Senate. So says the
San Antonio Expres.
The Clebnrne Chronicle says:
Just now there seems to be a feel-
ing prevalent, to some extent, that the
new constitution should be adopted
as a Democratic document, irrespect-
ive of its intrinsic merit. Influential
papers tell us that it is a Democratic
measure, and ought to have a party
support, whether deserving or not.
This kind of reasoning will not do. A
constitution, in a party sense, ought
not to be Democratic. If its design,
in any part, is to promote party, to
the detriment of the citizen, then no
true Democrat is bound to its support.
If the rights of a single individual are
infringed for party ends, let the party
fail or change its course. But do not
ask the support of the new constitu-
tion as a test of democracy. The
Democratic party of Texas will re-
main, whether the new constitution is
adopted or not. Let honest discus-
sion bring to light the advantages of
the new instrument, then the people
will not require the urging of party
ties to win for it their support.
The Jefferson Leader commends the
efforts which have been lately made in
various (juarters to check the popular
vice of gambling, and calls the atten-
tion of offenders in that quarter to the
late chargc of Judge Gilmore to the
Grand Jury at Marshall, instructing
them particularly to use all proper
means to secure evidence and to
promptly indict all found engaged in
this penicious business. The Leader
particularizes eases of gaming in Jef-
ferson, refers to the inefficiency of the
municipal authorities in suppressing
the evil, and cills on the District At-
torney, the sworn law officer of the
State, whose laws sre being daily vio'
lated, to take step« tobring the offen-
ders to justice. The Leader refers to
the apathy of the Mayor of Jefferson
in the matter, and says:
Without being egotistical we say
that if we possessed tho power 'the
Mayor has, in twenty-four hours time
there would not be a gambling hell
open in our city. The Mayor can close
these dens if he has the courage to
brave the enmity of the gambling
fratermity in our city. We know that
personally Col. Taylor is a brave man.
lie has proved that on many a battle-
field. But there is another kind of
courage which even the bravest in bat-
tle do not always possess. It is the
courage to dare to do right. It re-
juires more nerve sometimes to do this
than it docs to face the cannon's
mouth.
State News.
Texan Flour Equal to Any.
Col. A. M. Hobby, President of tke Gal
veston Chamber of Commerce, has re-
ceived from Mr. Thomas Codes, a miller
of Melissa, a letter accompanied by a
sample of flour, which has been pro-
nounced by competent judges on 'Change
as well finished and as fine a grade as
any manufactured. The mifler offers the
sample as proof of " what Texas wheat
and Texas mills can do," and contends
that it is as " well finished as any St.
Louis flour in the market, and a great
deal cheaper in price." He adds:
The reason of my writing you on the
matter is from the notice I saw of your
annual Board of Trade meeting, pub-
lished in the Galveston News, of Decem-
ber 15, wherein you spoke of the wheat
trade of Texas, also of the matter of
flouriD? mills in Galvepton. I do not
think the merchants and business men of
your city can have any idea of what
big thing the wheat interest of Texas is.
We have now growing in Northern
Texas the biggest wheat crop ever sown
and it looks fine. Should we have only
one-half a crop, this county alone will
have at least 1,000,000 bushels of wheat
to ship more than home mills can grind
and of course it ought to go to your city
Now, sir, with such a wheat market as
Galveston can be made, why should not
flouring mills pay '! They can make ss
good fi >ur as any place else, with this
decided advantage : Texas flour will not
sour!

The following are the chief incidents
of the late fire : On Friday morning it
was discovered that the court-house was
on fire. Immediately the tlameB spread,
and other buildings were wrapped in
flames. Next to the west was the office
of Lovejoy & Dickson. Their library
was saved. The saloon of Murphy &
Wetsel was burned with nearly all itB
contents. Dr. Ross lost his drug build-
ing, and sustained a heavy loss in mov-
ing his stock. The Standfield build-
ing, belonging to Mr. George Cran-
ston, and occupied by J. T. More-
land, was the next to burn, but
most of the contents were saved. Chrane
& Kirkman lost their building and sus-
tained heavy damage to stock. David
Fry lost his meat market. The house of
Standfield & Jackson was burned ; most
of the stock, except a large quantity of
wheat, was saved. The whole of the
north side of the square, as far as Pas-
chal & Bro , this morning is lying in ut-
ter ruin. The extent of the damage is
not known. Different estimates are
placed upon it. Some contend that it
will amount to f500,000 ; albarb $250,000.
Not a single record of tlM tounty was
saved. The greatest loss Is the records

night last, the prisoners in our county
jail (six in number) set fire to the lower
floor with a view to their escape. About
five o'clock in the morning the fire was
discovered. The ringing of bells and
the cry of fire created a first-class excite-
ment, which soon brought a number of
persons to the jail. The prisoners by
this time were nearly suffocated, but
were let out by tlie jailor }as soon as he
thought there was sufficient force present
to guard them—two of them, however,
made their escape and are still at large.

Get ilie Genuine Article.—The great
popularity of " TVilln>r's Compound of Cod
I/ivcr Oil and Liimc^ has Induced some un-
principled persons to attempt to palm off a
simple article of their own manufacture; but
any person who is suffering from Coughs,
Colds or Consumption, should be careful
where they purchase this article. It requires
no puffing; the results following its use are its
^est recommendations, and the proprietor has
ample evidence on file of its extraordinary
success in pulmonary complaints. The phos-
phate of lime possesses a most marvelous
healing power, as combined with the pure Cod

ail been held, and the b .tistica ascer
tained. Including the German, there are
six annual conferences ; number of mem-
bers in English speaking congregations,
59,344; Uermans, 000; total, 00,004
increase this year, !55S2. The largest in-
crease was in the Northwest Texas Con-
ference, 2008 ; the smallest in the Texas
Conference, only 11. The amount as-
sessed for preacher's salaries was $15!),-
005; the amount paid was $103,408,
leaving a deficiency, which came out of
the pockets of the preachers, of $50,597,
or more than one-third of their entire
claims. 435 Sunday Schools are re-
ported, having 2425 teachers and 20,259
scholars. The bishops received the full
amount assessed upon Texas for thtir
support, and $10,475 49 was contributed
to the cause of missions. Including the
M. E. Church (North) and the organiza-
tions among the colored people, there are
about 90,000 communicants in the Metho-
dist Church in Texas. n. s. T
