Drowned.—From a gentleman
just up from Hunt county we learn
that tho negro horso-thiof, mentioned
last week as having escaped fVom
bis pursuers, was drowned in Rabino
river. Ho was chased into the bot-
tom, and after nightfall guards wero
stationed at all liio crossings to
prevent him from escaping over tho
stream beforo daylight. By a flash
of lightning he was discovered swim-
fning tho rivor, by two of tho guard,
who seised his horso by the
bridle as ho landed, whon tho negro
•lid off behind and jumped into the
water and tried to swim back to tho
othor side, but failed. His body
was found two days afterwards.

From a letter from our worthy

Surely now, neighbor, tho road
lias not become a law? AVo have
more laws now than tho people can
undursland, and if you transform ail
the railroads into laws, thoro Is no

M“The editor of tho Hews speaks
pf our phrenological chart, lately
published in tho Enterprise, as a
“ doso inflicted upon our rcadors. ”
The editor of the News afflicts tho
public with his cranial developments
also, but in a different stylo—ho
gives it to thorn in irksome edit-
orials.
MT It is thought by many public
pian of the present du* tlmt the
“grange^” the farmors’ clubs, are
destined to rule this country—that
thoy aro tho backbone of tho gov-
ernment and upon them rests the
ftituro of political parties. But
whether this bo so or not, tho price
of goods are always the same at the
great Clothing Emporium of Water-
man, Weil A Star, Main street,
Denison, Texas. Thoy will soil to
merchant* at St. T.ouis prices. All
they ask of individuals is, to give
them a i .ill. Goods and prices to
cditorial down on Muin street this
wcck? Perchanco the .hefty Bom-
hastes Furioso, who thus delights to
don tho editorial toga and Btand
forth as the champion of the “ring”
and fulminato thunder-bolts upon
tho head of tho editor of ye
Enterprise, be a certain lank and
lean attorney, ill-fed and ill-feo-d,
who finds it easier writing ‘ortho-
doxy* for tho organ of tho tricksters,
at 75c. a yard, than pleading ton-
dollar cases in yo justice court—or
perchance ho be otio of yo more
‘toploflical,’ kid-glovo-ed, stovo-pipe-
cd prestidigitators of tho period,
who can afford, out of moro pity for
tho cliquo-y cause, to mount the
tripod and from the unfathomod
depths of the editor's ink-horn “drag
up drowned honor by the locks” and
sputter it around thus lively, free of
cost—or porchance-er ho bo tho
great Cyclopean thunderer of the
Klan, himself, who, in the impotu-
osity of his fury against all us hotor-
odoxians, and unwary of thecalibor
of tho pottery, charged it to the
muzzle, producing such a crash as
ondangored the artillery and the
denizons of the neighborhood, and
caused the devil of tho office to take
roiugo in his ink-pot and Billy' Gass
to advertise tho cracked and crip-
pled piece for sale immediately 1
But it is not to tho author of this
remarkablo production in the col-
umns of the News, so appropriately
heudod “Cheeky,” that wo wish to
direct attention so much as to the
articlo itself. Quoth the writer :
Wo commend to the perusal of
such of our readers as may be suffer-
ing from the prossut heated state of
the atmosphere, tho following deli-
ciously cool morsel clipped fVom tho
articlo to which wo made reference
above:
f‘It is charged that the paper, in cor-
sequeneo ot its protended political^
soundness, is reud by hundreds of
peoplo who would not otherwise
read it, and by its clover and msinr-
& ivo ways it somehow manages to
make nearly all who read it believe
what it bays.”
.. .Any comment on this silly pioco
of egotism is unnecessary.—New*.
As it will be observed by every
person oapnblo of rending plain Eng-
lish that the paragraph token from
tho Enterprise is not the opinion
of tho editor concerning himsolt or
his paper, but a charge made by street
politicians, it will bo seen with what
pertinonco tho mouth-piece of tho
cliquo-stcrs uttors its twaddio.
Again;
Tho efforts of tho Enterprise man
to appear i« tho role of a champion
of the people and place those who
favor conventions in the light of
‘tricksters, pothouse politicians,’ etc.,
is cheeky in the oxtromo.
It no doubt appears very ‘Cheeky’
in any one to interfere with the
nico little schemes of party politi-
cians, who dosiro to have, things all
their own way—who wont all tho
chock themselves—but nevertheless
it sometimes boomnos nooessary,
When the good of the country and tho
peoplo demand it.
Tho fact of our having sot np a
prese nt Bonham and started a paper
thut is independent enough ito have
an cpiniou of its own, and thut dares
place itself between the people and
the politicians that aro despoiling the
country; and that snch paper, despito
itq‘heterodox’ notions, should in six
months attain a circulation nearly
d >ubio wlinl tho News lias attained in
six years, is ail very annoying to the
editor of that Concern. And so as-
tonished is he that we slmuld write nn
articlo in taVof of allowing the people
to g I to Uie p 11* and vote f.r the man

To the voters of Fannin county.
' - yp
Fer.r.ow Citizens :—I announced
myself to you us an independent
candidate last March, and having
learned through my friends Jjiat 1
was being misrepresented—ithat it
had boon reported that I was no
Southern man and thut I waf no
Democrat—I felt that it was my
duty in justieo to myself, andthat
1 might be fuirly represented beforo
you, thgt I should address ytfftwith
a circular, sotting forth my tiows
and giving you my platter® _ of
principles, not wishing tobiyirc-
worked intq tho office, nor q sail
in»any borrowed plumes, no 11> bo
palmed off on you by any oJquc
to demand your support, wfticthor
compotent or incompetent,
1 was the man of your oj
not, to\ote for mo ‘nokji|
cornu ihjpBFtTand
this force power, so thaf TWver
would support it longer m/solf, [ of-
fered myself to yon on thi plat
of principles and moritj and
intrigue and policy—aid ap
directly to you, the poopb, fori
decision, qqd to dispel tlo mferep-
rosontations alone that pad boon
made that I was no Soutlerntman,
1 deemed it essential tha| I should
exonorato myself by setting the
truth before you, consequently an-
nounced to you that I wasof South-
ern birth and education, and that I
was a soldier through tho late war
in the Southern army, and was a
Democrat and believed that genuine
democracy m its relation to officials
was tho wi|l of tho whole piople
fairly expressed at tho ballot box.
I cannot sue that thero was any hing
criminal in tho declaration—n >r do
not believe that you ever have ob-
jected to it—nor that you ii the
least condemn ma jor it—bu feel
satisfied that I only discharged my
duty towards you, and that i met
your approbation and that yoi will
confirm it on the day of elation,
I liavo au abiding faith thal you
will give justice, and know that
tho tuno has como that you want it,
and demand it. I do not apt rove
of agitation, brow-beuting and Back-
biting, Hnd I call upon yon to bear
witness, apd to ro-rcad my circular
and soo for yourselves if there was
anything said in that that could
liavo been (only by distortion) hurt-
ful or offensive to nny party,
whether ultra, red-hot, consejRuitivo
or republican. And now I refer you
to tho Bonpam Nows of May -SOt.h,
in which you will find an entire
column of pithy comment headed
“ Dr. McFarland’s. Circular,” in
large letters. He ,was not ploasod
with the term “ simon pure Jeffer-
sonian Democrat.” I . simply tto-
fined what I considered honest, pure
Jeffersonian Democracy; that it was
tho voice and power of the whole
people; and, as we were talking of
j, meant in its relation to the
■tion of officers. That is still
my definition of pure democracy,
and there is no othor. Anything
departing ft*o,n this is anti-demo-
enitic and despotic. Ho almost
produces tt)o}mprossion that lima
Radical—alf and alf nondescript
milk and cidor Ac. I confess that I
did voto tbo Radical tickot on two
occasions, first for the little Indiana
“spurt,” John C. thinner, tho spu-
rious carpet-baggop, and second, old
Horace Greely, of Now York, tho
deep dyed Rucjical and the most
malignant foo of the South that
over made a foot print in American
soil, by order at nominating con-
ventions. 1 feel, I acknowledge,
ashamed that I did, but I must con-
fess tho truth. Thon whero was
tho alf and alf nondescript, the
milk and cider? yea, the Radical-
ism itself in this mixing up of the
Democracy, and pray whore was tho
editor of tho News? Whore wero
tho disongunizors ? Away with
your no»doscrj»t *nd milk qndcjder.
and alf and alf, and if you live in
glass houses stow throwing stones.
Tho editor of tho News has read
my circular through those conven-
tion goggles which possess a terrible
distorting magnifying power. I do
not consider liim responsible in this
rod hot State, as be asserts that he
is in his paper vol. 7, No. 38. Jfo,
becoming so intensely heated after a
long and laborious offortl at com-
ment and criticism upon mV circular
and against those who aro contend-
ing for justice and thd people’s
rights, fosgots tho point in question,
and acknowledges the existence of
tho very evil that we.ar<y discussing

that some of them are' coqduoted

cosious. wo admit to bo tjruio. very

and try it again and wo will make
it a littlo ‘thicker’ as the other was
too ‘thin.* Hu decides tlmt I am to
bo defeated. I told biiu I would
have nothing to do with his wire-
working concern, still ho seems
determined to bring it to bear upon
me any how. Ain’t that hard?
However, I feel safe. I am out of
readi of tho tiling. I am in the
hands of tho people, nod leavo it
with thorn. I am responsible for
that circular, and expect to defend
it. Thon this assiyfft made upon tho
true intention and aim of that doc-
ument, I considor unprovoked, and
justifies mo to address you again
and to clear away the cobwobH of
misrepresentation that have been
wound about mo, and to tell you
tho whole truth without fear or
affection, and to give my reasons in
full, why I am an independent ean-
diduto. While I only announced to
you in my circulnr without any
comment, and beliovo that it was
my duty then and there to hnvc
pointed out to you tho evils as I
saw them, and bad results of our
old system ol' nominating conven-

Consequently the evil and unfair-
ness, Consequently tho bad re-
sults. Tho primaries are not at-
tended by one third of the voters
and tax payers of the precinct, and
those who do attend meet a few
political demagogues, shrewd and
well skilled in tho workings of the
piachinery of conventions, who
have all the I’s stakoij out, the reso-
lutions cut and dried, and their pot
is pusliod up to a declaration of be-
ing tho unanimous nominee, in such
a rapid and irresistable manner that
the citizens in attendance cannot
for thoir lives understand how they
liavo boon so easily handled by tho
political slight-of-hand movement.
This is what I term wire-working.
You politicians and candidates for
office know how those things go,
and with whom to press your
claims. Well says one, tho people
are to blame because .they would
not come out! Not so. I have
shown you that thoso who did, were
wiro-worked out of their choice.
Then if all had attended, 'the result
would liavo boon tho same. The
whole could have been handled as
well as a part. Wo will make a
littlo extract hero from the Sonoma
Democrat, California, by R. A.
Norton, a prominent politician, and
a strict good Democrat, who has for
years presided as chairman in con-
ventions there. Ho is vouched for
by a prominent citizen of this
county who knows Mr- Norton well.
“ FUliuM-H Democrat, tho time is ap-
proaching when tho voters of So-
nora county aro to bo called upon
to select from the body politic, can-
didates to fill the various offices,
both State and county, and you aro
doubtless aware also, that there is,
and for a long time past has boon, a
general complaint among tho Dem-
ocracy of tho county, that through
our old convention system, men
liavo bcon foisted upcm tho peoplo
through the' political wire-workers
of our party that were anything
but the choico of tho people, a»d
consequently thero h*8 doom a gon-
oral apathy among voters; many of
them entirely neglecting to vote,
and others voting with great reluct-
ance ; thoy fooling little or no inter-
est in tho election.” Enough of
Norton's letter to show you what is
goinfr on in other Statos, and that
iy
objectionable to the people, so much
so that they will not attend, that
thoy have lost all interest in the
ballot box, I ask, doos it work
well ? and assert that it has become
a cheat, a fraud, and a species of
tyranny; and in tho name of jus-
tice, and the welfaro of tho country,
away with this rotten system tlmt.
has hocomo a living stench in the
nostrils of the people, and that is
daily debilitating and striking,the
roots of disease and corruption
deopor i» the heart of the great and
glorious Domoerutic party, the only
representative of liberty, the will
of the people and .a froo govern-
ment. Then lot us away with it,
and institute in its place, a system
that will cleanse aud purify, and
that will reinstate and concentrate
its lovers and followers, and tho old
flag of Democracy may yet bo
planted and fixed forever high upon
tho temple of liberty. And if this
irritating postjferous slough can
be removed, I hope to hear tho
death knell sung of the ultra, firo-
eatingi blood-drinKing, die in the
Inst ditch, red-hot rule or ruin part
of our party. I ,do hope for tho
welfaro of our country, and for tho
sake of our liberties, that thoy may
bo siloncod forever, and that tho
pooplo may once moro rulo and ton-
trol. Then alji will bo well, thon,
and not till theu, will wo have a
henithy, wholesojn.0 .and a safe po-
litical svstom. 1 appeal to you,
follow-citizons, wjtl) all tho earnest-
ness of my heart, having my
country's welfare at stake, to keep
your eye firmly fixed upon tho ovjl
that is fust swooping us down to
min and anarchy, and hope ygn
may weigh wejl wjuit 1 have said
upon this subject, and bear in miud
that I was drawn into-this discourse
aud compelled to sustnin my charac-
ter an<l vindicate iho principles sot
forth in my circular. I am before

it. Thon if this systom lias become
you as tho people’s candidate; give
me justice. By you 1 stund or fall.

Editors Enterprise;
Some time ago a gentleman rep-
resenting tho interest of your
paper, paid our town a visit, obtain-
ed a list of subscribers, and prom-
ised to sgy a word to your many
readors about the growth and pros-
pects of Savoy—but from sonic
cause tho promise was forgotten, or
his time would not admit. Therefore
we respectfully call attention of
your readers to our town.

PERSONAE.
Mr. Keller, Civil Bnginoor of tho
Transcontinental r a i 1 r o a d,N has
moved his head-quarters to Sher-
man for the present. J. AV. Me-

COUNTY CONVENTIONS.
Tho position taken by the Enter-
prise in reference to county con-
ventions is correct. Stand firm
gentlemen, to your position, and tho
fact so plainly sot forth in your
last issue will bo indorsed by the
people, -There iti no political iasue
to bo made—county oftieors aro only
entrusted with tho execution of
tho laws.. Their duties are clearly
pointed out. The only question
is honesty and qualification. I was
born a Democrat, and I udhero to
the great fundamental principles of
that party. But for eight or ten
men to assemble in the courthouse
in Bonham, aqd place a ticket before
the party, and say if you do not
support our tickot wo will kick you
out of our party, is nnneenee. The
Democratic party belongs to the
whole peoplo.

McKco, and as I have been strongly

Independent candidate for both

I am a Sonthern man by birth, and

Now Orleans, La.—and when the
tocsin of war was sounded for tho
defonso of Southern rights and
