Bunk Akf., a vtllianous and
brutal negro, takes his last steps
at Austin on Friday the 22nd.,

It is said now that the Sun-

'Frisco was lately the scene
of a prize fight, with hand glove$.
McClellan and Donovan were
the fightists. After ninety-four
rounds the fight was declared a

The Victoria Advocate says
the list of Texas papers sustain-
ing the "old alcade" is growing
beautifully less, and a rate tha
will leave him rather lonely in
•a short time.
The Austin Statesman gives
this aphorism: "The people
can never prosper or be reliev-
ed of local and State taxation
until local are wholly separated
frt>m Federal politics." There
is undoubtedly much truth in
his, .but the question arises,
low are political issues to be so
suddenly abandoned? Politics
in municipal land county affairs
lave Undoubtedly been a great
curse to the country and have
done by far more harm than
good. A man comes out or is
nominated as a party candidate
or some office in the gift of the
preople and at on:e a small ar*
my of political bummers, re-
cruited from /groceries, cross-
roads and everywhere else,
cpme to the front and work ve-
lemently for their party leader
even if the office be only that
of constable. The election oyer

' The Statesman says the civil
courts o£ Texas and thpir .inci-
dents cost the people of the
state, it is estimated, five "mil-
I
lion of dollars annually, and
they do not collect and pay over
to plaintiffs one-lfiftieth part of
the sum.

The Galveston >beard of
¥■ I r p'rj f
health have agreed unfnifnjdiitiy
to admit the steamer Colorado
and the Houston boaf.d of health
has as unanimously agreed to
quarantine against Galveston as
.soon as fthe Ship' enters port.
The matter Ms been referred
to Gov. Roberts. ' The Tele-
gram says Houston will enforce
her quarantine no matter what
the governor says. We cannot
but regard this quarrel between
Houston arid Galveston as a
t
yery unfortunate affair and think
it is engendered solely by bus-
iness jealousy on the part of
Houston. Should this surmise
prove true Houston will not
make friends by5 the transac-
tion. It certainly seems to be
unreasonable that the Galveston
board of health would take any
other; it is life who does the
wire-working and pipe-laying
and one election is not fairly
over before the work for the
next one begins. The result of
all this is that the professional
poiitican and political trickster
—he is commonly very shrewd
—*manjlge^to so manipulate the
conventions so as to secure the
nomination. The great mass
of the people aw at last begin-
ning to awaken, from the leth-
argy which has for years been
upon, them and are about dis-
covering that they have been
made the tools of designing
politicians arid have somehow
or arioitfrei; found themselves un-
der the necessity of voting fbr
men for office without being
able to account, on any reason-
able hypothesis, for how they
came to get the nomination.
The convention system in itself
is not bad; it is the abuses to
A, proposes a straight pole
or bar; B. a forked bri^sh
(which should be constructed of
the most flexible character of
brush within the farmers reach);
C, proposes cords/ram jbar: A
to right and ieft wings of brush
B, which confines it to top cem
tre of cotton row, when in mo-
tion; D, proposes suspension
line from bar A, to brush B.
The above figure is designed
to brush two rows at on? pass
and may be exercised by con-
fining bar A to horn ofasaddle
and when a boy or girl moun-.
ted on a gentle pony can pass
over fifty acres every five days.
YoU will observe that this rieed
ftot interfere with ^cotton pick-
ing, as boys and gifjs would; be
sufficient to keep up that agi-
tation necessary to prevent the
advance of the worms.
A column of these briish
could be arranged to sweep fif
teen or twenty rows at one pass
on the open prairie fields by ar-
ranging upon a long pole, and
confining upon the necks of a
gentle yoke of oxen. I suggest
that he who waits to see the re-
sult of his neighbors experi-
ment will loose his own cotton,
while looking on. Be active and
save the cotton.
Remember that there is a pe-
culiar odor arising from (the
cotton patch, which is an infal-
lible declaration of the wprms
presence. Then is the time.to
put your brush in motion, re-
peating every 3 or 5 days.
