it has too little representation in
connection with public affairs, both legislative
and executive, to assure them infallibly of
tho realities of such a government as Daniel
Webster descril^ed that of the United States
to be—" the people's government, made for the
people, made by tbe people, and answerable to
the people." Any number of representatives
needed to givo this assurance as far as the
legislative department is concerned, however
large, can not be too large. Of course, if a
less number will suffice, a less number should
be .provided. But the British House of Com-
mons has six hundred and fifty-eight members
to represent about thirty million people, while
the popular branch of our American Congress
has less than half that number of members to
represent upwards of fifty million people. Yet
we do not hear a complaint from Great
Britain that owing to the multitude of mem-
bers individuality and personal responsi-
bility are lost, corruption has full swing, and
legislation is the monopoly of unscrupulous,
scheming and venal oligarchs in the shape of
committees. In fact history testifies that this
numerous and even multitudinous body has
gradually absorbed the executive as well as
legislative powers of the British government,
and virtually resolved it into government by
the voting majority of the British people
through representation in Parliament. Can it
be said that tlie American people are repre-
sented as fully or governed as effectually?

murder for opinion.
The case cf the younger Soteldo, who is sup-
posed to have shot his brother while the two
together were endeavoring to coerce or mur-
der the managing editor of the Washington
Republican, will have to be tried in the courts,
and the public will doubtless have sufficient
opportunity to learn all and more than all the
facts the public cares to know about the news-
paper and individuals concerned in the affray.
Of course, if the younger Soteldo did kill his
brother it was by mistake, and if the editor
killed him it was in self-defense. In the
former case there was murder. When men go
to the places where they think of doing vio-
lence with the weapons for violence, and then
do mischief which they, popularly speaking,
do not intend, they are not clear of legal in-
tent. If Cuiteau had killed Blaine when he
shot at Garfield it would have been murder. His
plea that he only wanted to44 remove " a political
official distasteful to hint did not save him
from conviction on the charge of killing the
individual citizen, James A. Garfield. The law
is for protection more than for revenge, and in
order to protect the people who do not carry
deadly weapons and commit acts of violence,
it has to be pretty strongly and firmly execu-
ted against those who do, or there might just as
•w ell be no law at all. If the Washington pa-
per was to some extent one of those piratical
concerns attacking private character from
partisan or other improper motives, the person
assailed was not justified in taking the law into
his own hands. Public sentiment may at one
Time have justified, and locally may still justi-
fy, resort to physical violence on private ac-
count as a means of getting redress for libfc s;
but the better class of newspapers rarely pub-
lish, and never intentionally publish,
anything tliat does wanton injustice;
and, in fact, only those engaged
in making a large daily newspaper can kaoW
the care and watchfulness required to prevent
such injustice through correspondence and
other nuchods. The press that does not con-
form to the rules of journalistic fairness and
has no sensitive feeling for private rights, will
soon be spotted by tii se .whose opinion is in
general most worth having. That there are
exceptions, where cunniug accomplishes much
evil through the press, is not less true than
that any villainy may triumph in particular
cases. Every wrong is acutely felt when
known, and there is no particular reason
■why tho newspaper business should be
supposed to stand outside of the law.
Some people apparently suppose it to be also
outside of ordinary commercial rules and laws;
but it is a business with pretty much the same
proportions of honesty, honor, candor and fair
dealing as are found in other businesses. Tiie
little villains of the press, and the little villains
and big villains who assail them in their dens,
are in a fair way of being tabooed in course of
time. Meanwhilo it is naturally dangerous to
carry shootiug-irons, and the law might
perhaps properly make it a trifle more
unwholesome to be found carrying pis-
tols for any purpose. There have been
murders for opinion. There may always
be murders for such cause while the blood-
thirsty are permitted to avenge what they are
pleased to consider affronts, and while weapons
are carried by a large number of people who
do not avow any particular purpose, thus
shielding those who may arm themselves with
a deliberate intent—inasmuch as the wearing
of weapons is not remarked upon and dealt
with even when perceived, as it ought to be
under the laws of civilized States.
postal savings banks.
The comptroller of tbe currency, in his re-
port to Congress some days ago. in response
to inquiry respecting the postal savings banks
bill, taking the estimates of the director of tbe
mint as to tho amount of gold and silver in
the countiy at various dates, and the official
returns of the treasury and of national and pri-
vate banks as to the amounts of gold, silver and
currency in each, shows the total currency in
the United States November 1, 1SS1, to bo as
follows:
Gold
Silver
Legal tender notes.

representation in congress.
Proceedings for an apportionment of repre-
entatives are retarded in Congress by unwor-
thy jealousies and greeds. Certain advan-
tages are coveted, certain losses are appre-
hended, for this or that party, this or that
State or class of States. As these considera
tions may happen to weigh in particular cases,
it is proposed to use a small divi o>* or a large
divisor in determining the quotient for a sin-
gle popular constituency and distributing
among the several States their representative
numbers. It is just to say that other con-
siderations are recognized by some who ad-
vocate and by some who oppose any more
than a slight increase in the mem-
bership of the House of Representatives.
On the one hand, it is contended that the
more numerous the membership the more dif-
ficult it is to corrupt the collective body. On
the other hand, it is contended that with more
members would como more schemes, more
jobbery, more corruptibility, more influences
of corruption. This is the contention of Mr.
Herbert, of Alabama, who has made a speech
ia opposition to any increase of membership
whatever, and in favor of a constitutional
amendment limiting the number of represen-
tatives. 44 Just in proportion as the
membership was increased," say 3 Mr.
Herbert, 44 members would lose individu-
ality and personal responsibility, and
would rely upon committees; and the
corrupt man, instead of endeavoring to cor-
rupt the House, would apply himself to the
committees, and the committees could not be
made large enough to put them beyond the
reach of temptation." Mr. Herbert is not
aware, perhaps, that his argument implies
despair of our system of representative gov-
ernment. The implication is there, however,
and is only to be dispelled by refuting his ar-
gument. We are told that congressional
commattees can not be made large enough to
put them beyond liability to corruption. This
means that corruptibility lessens in ratio
to tho enlargement of a legislative
council. Nevertheless Mr. Herbert would
have tiie membership of tho House limited by
constitutional amendment to the present num-
ber, no matter how greatly, with the growth
and progress of the country, incentives and
agencies of corruption may be multiplied, no
matter what gigantic strength they may ac-
quire. Such a limitation, according to Mr.
Herbert's theory, would establish corruption in
Congress as an ultimate and permanent fact
"by force of mathematical necessity. Why,
then, does he object to an elastic basis
that would allow the membership of
the House to increase with the meas-
ure of the country's growth and pro-
gress? Because, he contends, in a multitude
of congressmen individuality and rosponsibili
ty are lost, and legislation is necessarily left
to tatoe its shape from the action of commit-
tees which can not be made 44 large enough to
put tlhem beyond tho reach of temptation."
Thus in both directions the prospect is equally
gloomy, and the case is simply a case of de
fipair. Fortunately, Mr. Herbert's logic is at
ffault in resting upon a radical misconception
i)f the purpose of a popular representative as-
" ftembly in connection with a government ema-
nating from the people, and answerable to the
people. A good many ethers are floundering
In the same fallacy from the same cause.
The first of all requisites is to have the people
in all their diversity and diffusion represented
as widely and completely as possible by depu-
ties who will know at least how to assert the
will of their constituents with their votes,
however unskilled they may be in the techni-
cal details of legislation. The Now York
Herald, infected with Mr. Herbert's gloomy
theory, is impelled to say: 44 What the coun-
try complains of is that it has too many, and
not too few, congressmen." The country's
real ground of complaint in this relation is
that it has too many congressman who are
Dot truly representative men in the distribu-
tive popular sense or the collective
national senso of the word, and that
Total -.$1,455,361,602
Of this sum there were in the treasury at the
date named, and in the national, State and savings
baj)ks, the several kinds of currency, as follows:
Gold 3294,905,569
Silver 103,098,207
Paper currency 139,579,307
Total $537,583,083
On these figures the comptroller finds that " the
remainder will be the amount then in the hands of
the people outside of these depositories."
Gold $267,663,402
Silver 82,939,158
Currency • 567,445.959
Total $918,048,519
This report would indicate a circulation of
coin and currency in the country of $18 36 per
capita for the entire population—a rate in ex-
cess of what has been generally supposed. If
tho comptroller's figures are correct, the sum
of $018,048,519 is certainly held by the people
outside of any known public depository; but it
does not appear that any such sum is being
actively employed in the business affairs of
the people. The inference is that many mil-
lion-, perhaps hundreds of millions, are being
hoarded in consequence of the lack of savings
institutions or lack of popular confidence in
the officials of private and national banking
establishments. To remedy this evil and bring
the money of the country into active opera-
tion, tho postal savings bank system is pro-
posed. The bill, in its chief features, is of
very great importance to all the people, espe-
cially the laboring masses, and if wisdom and
justice prevail in tho consideration of it, the
measure v. il pass without material change.
The following is a summary of its provisions:
The . s ablishment of postal savings depositories
■or the purple of the protection of small sav-
ings. to facilitate their withdrawal, and to pro-
duct} revenue.
The postmaster-general may open sub-deposito-
nes at ai.y money-order office in liis discretion.
Any ptrson above twelve years of age may be-
come a depositor.
A book is to be provided containing ten stamps,
the aggregate value of which is to be S3.
The smallest deposit which the government will
take is to be $3.
After that deposit has been made, additional de
posits will bt: received in §1 or its multiples.
Interest is to be computed at. the .central office in
Washington upon all -uinsof $3, and even multi-
ples, at the rate of 2 oer cent, per annum. This is
to be computed for every calendar month.
Money, when deposited, may be withdrawn by
depositors w ithout previous notice, but interest is
•to be allowed only at the end of the calendar
mouth.
Tho money received from the deposits is to be
nvested by the secretary of the treasury in inter
est-bearing securities of the United States, or in
case the monev can not be invested in this class of
securities, it shall be invested in approved State
curitie/. but not in railroad or other bonds.
Each individual account is to be kept at Washi-
ngton, and every withdrawal is to be made by
•heck from Washington, and upon the depositories
iesi£jnated by the depositors.
1 fie withdrawals are to be paid from the central
office by draft to the order of the depositors, at the
•pository r. quested by him.
Th^e deposits are to be free from United State.
State, or local taxation.
No person can deposit more than §100 during a
period of thirty days, aad the aggregate amount,
allowed to any single depositor is not to exceed
$500.
The measure seems to be well devised, ex-
cept, perhaps, in two particulars—the mini-
mum and maximum of deposits, and tho re
quirement that every withdrawal shall be
marie by check from Washington. There seems
to be no reason why the minimum should not
reduced to one dollar and the maximum
raised to at least a thousand dollars, or why
the right to check direct on the deposits where
made should not be allowed, without subject-
tho depositor to the delay and expense of
the circuitous red-tape route by way of Wash-
ington.
Death of William Alexander.
Tho death of Hon. William Alexander, at
Austin, the fir . t news of which came yesterday
in a dispatch to Col. D. D. Atchison, clerk of
the Supreme Court, was the source of pain to
a number of his old friends still Jiving in Gal-
veston, where he lived and practicsd law for
upwards of ten years. He came to this city
May, 1846, and removed to Austin in 1857.
He was about sixty two years of age; was
born in Woodford county, Kentucky; gradu
ated from Centre College, at Danville, and
afterward at Yale; studied law in Frankfort,
Ky., and began the practice of his profession in
Galveston. The family of which he was a
member is one of the oldest and best known in
tlie blue-grass region of Kentucky, where they
settled in the beginning of this century and
became famous as farmers and growers of fine
stock. His uncle, Robert Alexander, was
United States secretary of legation in France
when Dr. Franklin was minister, and visited
various parts of Europe in order to secure the
best breeds of domestic animals. His mother
was a sister of Judge Campbell, of
Paducah, an eminent jurist of Kentucky.
The late Governor Wickliffe, of Louisi-
ana, and John C. Breckinridge were
friends and fellow students of the
deceased. Mr. Alexander was opposed to se-
cession and absented himself from Texas dur
r the war. He traveled extensively in Mex-
ico, and in that country spent much time in
the study of the Spanish and Mexican laws,
in which he was an adept. He never married,
and was a man of some eccentricity of char-
acter, but of great mental force, and unsullied
reputation for integrity and morality. He was
a devoted friend, and never allowed political
reasons to bias his conduct toward his friends,
decided as were his views in such matters.
He was never an aspirant for office, but held
the appointment of attorney-general some
years since the war.
' when there is no

logic, r.nd sweeps away facts by enthusiastic con-
tradictions. When at last he is cornered he not
nnfrequently takes refuge in the Bible and calls
for proof from that. He thinks leniency toward
him is an admi -sion that you are wrong, and re-
gards penalties as persecution on account of color.
The Sherman Democrat prints a pithy text
of blended scripture and moral fable like the
following:
The cry of "peace! peace
peace, is as bad as the cry of
is no wolf.
The Democrat knows all about farmiug. It
says:
The dark of tLe moon, in February, is the time
t_> plant Iri-h potatoes and onions in Texas.
The Atlanta (Cass county) Express probably
takes its cue from t4ie young man selected to
pass round the plate in church, who, when
another merely laid his forefinger on the plate
with a mysterious nod, said, 44 ante up; salva-
tion's free, but it costs like—anything to run
a fashionable church." The Express says:
People should recollect that it requires money,
labor and experience to rim a newspaper; and,
furthermore, that a printing-office is private pro-
perty. aud is tinder no more obligations to donate
its space for the advancement of private enter-
prises than tho merchant is his goods.
The Gatesville Sun beams on The News:
The Galveston News is unquestionably the
leading paper of the State: in faci, we may safely
add that it has no superior in the South. The
news lias accomplished more for the State than
all other agencies combined.
The Texarkana Inter-State remarks:
The State comptroller di dains all counsel. He
understand^, at all times and on all occasions,
what he is about, or he thinks he does.
The Sherman Democrat wants a temperate
di-cussion of the tenqierance question, saying:
The local option is spreading over the county
like the small-pox, and creating no little feeling
between neighbors. We only de ire to say, do
nothing in the heat of argument; say nothing tli 't
you will be sorry for afterward and wish to take
back.
A paper of Northern Texas says: 44 Rev. Dr.
Smith will hereafter practice law." Since the
colonel has quit the practice of physic and
found farming unprofitable, he has probably
sold his mercantile establishment aud live
stock and given up his hotel business. It is best
not. to have too many irons in the fire.
The Decatur Tribune is down on drummers,
who " induce the country merchants, by mak-
ing promises of extension of time, etc., to
purchase goods he can not sell, and if full pay-
ment is not promptly made the extraordinary
process of attachment is resorted to, and thus
the couptry merchant is broken up." Some
pretty hard swearing is doubtless done in many
of these cases of attachment. The process is
evidently growing quite common.
Tho country papers universally complain of
bad, almost impassable roads.
The Gatesville Sun puts another Richmond
n the field in the person of Hon. Roger Q.
Mills, as a candidate for governor:
We regard Mr. Mills as a patriotic state-man.
willing and prepared for the performance of wliat-
i ver ditties the people of the Stare may require at
his hands. That he will accept the position if ten-
dered we have never for a mom -n1 doubted. We
can readily se? why the opp >sitiou hails his no nu-
trition w'ith such dlssa'isfaction. '"'Tis strange,
'tis passing str.-nge" that th^y should have any
intere t in the matter, since Mr. Mills is a Demo-
crat, and it is his party thai will in all probability
call him to the front. It is true that his abil-
ity and influence in Congress are of vast
importance to the people of Texas, but at this
juncture in our political affairs at home we need
his influence aud ability directed to other and dif-
ferent channels, which will redound equally to our
advantage. The so-called 44 progressive wing " or
the party would cheerfuliv accept Mr. Mills's nomi-
nation- in fact, the entire opposition would unite
upon him, while the Republicans and Greenback-
ers would again witness the defeat of their parties
by an overwhelming majority. The people of the
State have not forgotten the services of Mr. Mills
in the past, and his elevation to the governorship
would be but the stepping-stone to
but the gay and youthful are very pleasantly
reminded 44 that all things are not dead that
sleep." and at odd times have fun by the
44 spoonful."
The retirement of Miss Eula B. Robinson, a
lat - teacher of the academy, from the faculty
of thnt institute, is to be greatly regretted by
a'l who feel an interest in the good of the
school, as Miss Robinson was an accomplished
young lady teacher, with the greatest ability
possessed by woman. She was particularly
popular as a lady and as a teacher. She has
recently accepted the position of principal in
the Liberty School, in the country, but one of
the finest school communities in the county.
Tho trustees of that school are to be compli-
mented on their success and sound judgment
in retaining Miss Robinson as their leading
teacher.
Our Colonel M. Y. Randolph is a candidate
for State senator, but subjects himself to the
action of the Democratic convention. He is a
popular man and lawyer, and will make a
good run for the office in question, especially
as this county has never been represented in
the legislature, as his friends claim, and has
always been Democratic. Other candidates
have been spoken of, but none are so promi-
nent as Colonel Randolph. The independent
movement works slow here. Rough.

STATE tllESS.
That stepping-srone business is becoming mo-
notonous. The people of Texas have not yet
been sufficiently educated to the idea of elect-
ing a United States senator under the name of
governor and a governor under the name of
lieutenant-governor t > make the further suc-
cess of the policy certain.
The Mirror prints a card signed by five Hill
county clergymen complaining that some anti-
prohibitionist has published communications
against prohibition over the signature of
Preacher, and asking him to give his own
proper name and relieve others from suspicion
They say:
In the great temperance contest now being
waged all over Texa-, and especially in Hill county,
there are but two sides to the question. No mail
can be on one and defend or support the other.
For or against saloons, or no saloons is the ques
tion now before the people. No minister of the
gospel, with proper conceptions of his duty and
regard for his high calling can either directly or in-
directly oppose the movement.
This is doubtless good ground for the pulpit,
so far as its moral influence goes; but it does
not need a prophet to discern that the attempt
to make prohibition an issue in State politics
at present will bs an injury rather than
benefit to the cause. The present local option
law ought to satisfy the friends of temperance
for the presant.
The Weatherford Commercial-Herald takes
a hopeful view of the moral progress of the
people, but appears to think the press is rather
behind as the leader of popular sentiment in
such matters. Thus:
The tone of the secular press, in a moral point
of view, is too low. As editors, we stand on an
equal footing with all American citizens. As the
world grows wiser and increases in population,
our responsibilities increase ; {hence, we must ad-
vance with tha times—not to do evil, but good—as
the oenefactors of our race. We do not pretend
to say or mean by this that our press should be
consecrated to God for religious purposes, but we
do mean that truth, justice and hone ty are eter-
nal principles in politics as w ell as in religion. We
are virtually politicians, whether professed
not, aud, as such, we have enough to do to attend
to our own business.
After saying a good deal more to the same
effect, the Commercial-Herald concludes:
The press generally is engage 1 in the discussion
of temperance a- a political topic, and as all of us
have to take positions sooner or later, we now
give notice to the public that, though we are not
an extrem st, we favor prohibition and all other
good laws, and are in favor cf having them rigidly
enforced.
Is this going far enough? The Colorado
Courant would seem to take higher ground.
In a leader headed, 44 Better Go the Whole
Hog," it tells the following moral tale:
Quite an intelligent gentleman, who had ac-
quired the habit of too much red liquor during the
late unpleasantness, had been on a spree for
eiKht or ten days. Having joined tlie temperance
some time previous, and it having availed him
nothing:, he approached us on the subject, declar-
in : 44 that the temperance was not binding enough
a id he'd bed—d if he diun't join the church." He
slid it was a "ground hog case, and that he must
go the whole hog or none."
When he presented himself for membership,
however, some doubting brethren doubted his
ability to stick, but offered to take him on
probation. The pirson, however, determined
to admit tLe penitent at once to full fellow
ship, with the somewhat dubious result de-
scribed below:
Our e»rly deoarture from that section to Texas
prevents us from being informed as to how Nic
came out. We did near, however, tiuit during a
campaign, in which Nic was a prominent candi-
date, tiiat tho excitement was greater than he
could beu.:-, and ti at he did step off the boat at two
or three landings; but being elected, he sobered
up and moved forward at a steady pace.
A correspondent of the Montague Age of
Progress happens to furnish an appropriate
doxology to these sermons:
And now, brother Fleming, rai e us another tune,
And tell brother Daggett to pass 'round the hat,
At d let up have no half-way business
When it comes to that.
The Jasper Southeast Texan must have
studied newspaper polemics in the Pickwick
papers. It hurls its disdain at the concern
across tbe way as follows:
Our antique and effee neighbor, the Newsboy,
was forced to follow suit by a like reduction in its
subscription, in a vain and desperate e.'Tort to
keep its head above water. Bui an enlightened
and discriminative public, looking to the superior
get up of ihe Texan, in matter aud style, as well
as to the fact that it carries double the amount of
reading maf.er that our chaotic neighbor does,
has shown, aud still continues to show, a de-
cided preference f r the lithe and spright-
ly Texan; while the time-worn and
wasted Bevrs-Boy presents the anomaiv of a large
and ungainly advertising list, without style or ar-
rangement. much of it of the "due bill " persua-
sion, covering three-fourths of its space, with an
A Happy Ifouna: (-entleman.
Mr. E. H. Rhoads, residing at No. 214 West
Ninth street, Wilmington, Del., says ho knows
more about th:; law of contrast, than he did
last winter. He did not know then what in-
flammatory rheumatism was. He has since
been thoroughly initiated into all its mys-
teries, and there is a very steep contrast be
twi en the feelings of a man when he is dosed
with rheumatism and enjoying immunity
from it. During the Christmas holidays he
was aroused from his sleep abouto'clock in
the morning by a terrible pain in his right
hand and wrist. He felt as if his arm weighed
a ton, and had been crushed by an elephant.
He o ver did have anything to hurt him so
badly in his life. He didn't sleep any more
that* night, for the pain grew rapidly worse
until 8 o'clock, when he applied St. Jacobs
Oil. His hand had grown so stiff by the time
the first application was made that he could
not move a finger, and even St. Jacobs Oil
oukl not induce the disease to loose its grip
until it had been used two days. At the ena
of that time, however, the famous old pain
annihilator drove out the last vestige of pain,
and he was all right again and ready to eat,
sleep and enjoy himself like other men. He
has not had any sign of it since, and does not
care to make its acquaintance.

Conducted by ALBION W. TOURGEE.

etc, assisted b3'
Wliat the Interior Papers Say.
Tlio Statesman thinks the city corporation
of Austin is in danger of being bankrupted by
the frequent meetings and high pay of the
council. The Statesman says:
At tbe rate our City Council meet?, this per
fle.ecem must amouut in a twelve month to about
$0000. when in reality net a aollar should be paid a
councilman.
Nat. Henderson is not. proud. He says in the
Georgetown Record*
On last Wednesday we had the pleasure of a
ride on the cars, from Austin to Rouud Rock, with
Governor Roberts and Hon. George Pfeuffer, or
New Braunfels.
Tbs Record still labors under the hallucina-
tion that office gives honor to the incumbent.
Surely no oue supposes the best men in the
country fill the offices. The Record says of
one who is content to rest his reputation on
his own conduct:
It is tbe strangest thing iu the world to us that a
man of Major West's grnat abilities as a lawyer,
and liis many noble traits as a man, seems content
to Jivi- without any official position. His talents
and bis p >i>ul «rity would secure to liim almost acy
office in the gift of ibe people. Yet he does not
seem to desire any otficiid position whatever, but
is a \arson band helping out tome friend.
The Times promises to assist in forcing the
major to accept some leading office. This is
iike the generous bird that tried to force a
worm into the mouth of its mistress. Still
the old Democratic rule that office should
neither be sought nor declined except for
some strong reason is a good one.
The liquor inquisition is pretty severe in
Fannin county. The Honey Grove Independ-
ent reports a case:
Peter Smith was taken before Squire Peyton yes
terday and asked to inform the court where he bad
procured bis liquor. This Smith refu>ed to do, and
the squire fined him £3 for contempt of court, and
sent him to tlie calaboose to meditate. Ho will be
brought up again aud asked to tell, but he swears
no power in this free country can compel him to
inform tbe court where he obtained his liquor.
After he has paid a few fines and laid in jail a week
or so it is probable he will change his mind.
The Grove would se^m to be noted for re-
fractory witnesses. The Independent says:
The average freed man is a hard knot in court.
He is curious, suspicious and jealous of liis rigiits
as a citizen; tliiuks noise a sufiicient answer to
exceedingly small subscription list growing '* beau
tifnlly less." Tbe Texan's prospects are bright
and brightening: its .soul is its own; it calls no man
master; it sprang into existence to meet the de-
mand which we believed existed here for a journal
of its type; it will live, if life is vouchsafed Us. as
long as the reading public will sustain it, conduct-
ed on the high plane we have chalked out for it.
This will make the Newsboy feel like the
sick chicken whose picture the Marlin Ball
prints as an indication of its disgust at the
Wash Jones movement. The Eatauswill papers
in Pickwick characterize each other as 44our
worthless contemporary the Gazette "—" that
disgraceful and dastardly jour al the Inde-
pendent"—" that false and scurrilous print"—
that vile anil slanderous calumniator "—and
hurl defiance and scorn on all occasions, until
they fina'ly come to blows aud bloody noses.
In the course of the contest Mr. Pott, editor of
the Eatanswill Gazette, says to Mr. Pickwick:
What, sir, let me ask you as aa impartial man,
is tbe state of tbe public mind in London with
reference to my contest with the Independent?
That contest shall be prolonged so long as I have
health and strength and tbe portion of talent with
which I am gifted. From that contest, sir, although
it may unsettle men's minds and excite their feel-
in.'s, and render them incapable for tbe discharge
of the everyday duties of ordinary life: from that
contest, sir, I will never shrink till 1 have set my
heel upon the Eatanswill Independent.
The Texas journalist equals Dickens in this
kind of composition.

Madisonville. Texas, February 13, —
The commissioners are holding a regular term
of their court this week, beginning this morn-
ing, and will probably reuiain in session all
the present week. Most of their time will be
taken up inspecting county official reports,
appointing road overseers and investigating
the financial condition of the county. Com-
missioner W. F. Payne, of Willow Hole, who
moved several weeks ago from the Fourth
precinct, to Madisonville, was succeeded to-
day by Mr. s. T. Daniels, tbe present justice
at Willow Hole, by appointment of Judge
McDonald. Not many things of interest
transpire in the minor world just now. With
tbe exception of an occasional musical party,
club or iwinptrance meeting, entertainments
would indeed be rare and exceedingly scarce,
