Hear the Spectator:
But we cannot reasonably hope to sue
ceed in electing our men, or defeating our
old enemy, as matters now stand. A third
psrty has arisen--a powerful party--to
whom we cannot deny the right 10 make
independent nominations il they choose to
do 90. To this new party and its princi-
piles, a. they have been promulged in this
State, we certainly feel no sntagonism, and
IL they make such nominations as we pre-
fer to the Democratic ticket, we can see
no REIMBURSEMENT Of kalty 10 the Wing
party IN uniting our forces with theirs to
crash a common aud embittered foe. The
triumphant Civilizations Of thst fac over our
repeated defeats are still ringing in our
ears, and all OUT Wing instincts lead US 10
the conclusion that favorable opportuni-
,y to hurl them from power into hopeless
disofganixstion and ruin, should not BE-
neglected for any trivial reason. We. the
Wings, Can insure the defeat OF Wise, and
the overthrow OF Democracy, without any

we owe 10 the good Old Dominion, Tor

eret Organization, and place themselves un-
der the control and management. Of one

try has been, for several years, devoted prin-

a result, however, is not astonishing when the
superior adaptation of the soil and climate OF
the coast region is taken in consideration. AT
NE same time, it is to be regretted that the
cotton crop is almost a total failure; conse-
auentalv an additional number OF planters are
now preparing to abandon its cultivation and

Austin City Suit.

The suit of Elias NJ. Smith rs. Saml W.

States District Court, for the recovery oil the
one.third league of land, on which the City
of Austin is situated, is at present IN II lar
way for amicable settlement. MessrS. w. >
Oldham, A. W. Terrell and II. T. Brewster
as attorneys for the citizens, aud Al. ham'''
ton for Smith, appeared before the Judiciary
Committee of the House of Representatives on
Thursday evening last. ,
The committee was, by the above named
gentlemen, apprised OF the character OF the suit
its present altitude and the relief sought. The
claimant, by his attorney, expressed u willing,
ness to accept, in lieu Of the property claimed
and now cove red by the city; IL reasonable
compensation for the land at the date oil It's
condemnation with interest,
The complainant Smith bases his suit on
the total want Of compliance on the part OF the
commissioners appoin ted under the act OF L.
80, with the provisions of that actin condemn
ing the land, and on the further fact, that the
money paid by the Republic for the land, atte,
the act of condemnation, was never received
by the rea. parties in interest. Without du'
cussing the uierits Of comp!ainant's claim, 1t is
sufficient to say, that the suit creates a clouc
on the title of the citizens, retarding the
growth and prosperity of the Capital, and leop
ardiziug the Righis of hundreds, who have
purchased their homes from the State at pub
lie sale. The State has released an enormou
sum from the sale of City lots, and sheer jus
tice demands that she should now appropriate
a small pJrtio on Off in purchasing, if necessa
ry, the prosperity of her Capitol and the secr
ritv of her citiz ems. We are satisfied tina
the honorable re ntlemen composing the judi
ciary Comu,itteec will property investigate IN

1t was lately said the King of Naples was
likely to embroil himself in a war with Eng

lawfully practise. The whole plot is thus
clearly developed:

and ornamented with the royal m The
manufacturer ACCOMPANIED his goods TO Ma

ground that they we're never ordered, although
he produced the order in writing. He was
told to sell them hut that was impossible, as
they had the royal arms on them. He was
commanded to put them on board ship and

clearance; and the carpets were landed he
was then told 10 sell them at auction. y very
low bidding was made, and no advance ioi'

in. He got for them much less than the ex.
port duty he had paid. But what became Of
the Carpets? They were actually bought al

whom none dare TO compete, and now cover the
floors of the palace for which they had been
fabricated. The manufacturer complained to

DasT rdlY Outrage.

We Yesterday visited Mr.. B.J. Lewls,n gem
tleman from the vicinity Of Austin, Texas,
WHO is confined to his bed at the St. Charles.
from the effects of Il most wanton and Hloieat
outrage that was perpetrated upon HIM on
Wednesday afternoon last by two lrishmen, at
,ias corner of Casacalvo and Cotton Press sts'
ia &hc Third District. His cad is dreadiul'y
bruised and swollen, and his face all dlscolor-
la, from the violence he suffered. He is be-
sides very weak from loss OF blood, but will re
able to leave his bed in a few days.
Mr.. Lewis ~infora0s us that he is Il stranger
in the city, having come here to attend to some
business in one of the Federal Courts, and that
he had nothing Whatever to do with any of the
election excitementS of Monday, On Wednes-
'dav afternoon he went down to the Third Dis
;tlict to look for the home of a man with whom
he had some business. While standing AT the
corner above named, being uncertain which dl.
rect,on to take. his hat Suddenly knocked oil
by some one behind him, and at the same IN
slant he received q violent blow from n club
on the left side of his head, He Staggered
forward and fell on his knees, and was Just
about to rise when he was jerked up BY n cot
'ton-hook which was thrust into his back, tear
ing his coat, vest and shirt, but not hurting his
body. Up to this moment ho had not seen
either of his assailants. Turning rdttnI to de-
fend himself as well as possible-being a slen-
der man and unurmed-both the rutiians made
at him again the one with the cotton.hook
struck at his face, but Mr.. l.. warded of the
blow with his arm, getting a cnt in the back
of his hand the one with the clubs at the Same
moment gave him several violent blows On his
forehead and the top of his head, telling him
TO the pavement. Both the Williams then turn
ed and fled, and all that Mr.. Lewis can recol'
lect of them is that they were lrislmen OF the
laboring class.
As soon as MIR. l.. recovered sufficiently tc
rise, he staggered up to Greatmen street; his
clothes all torn in the back and his whole from,
covered with blood. He hailed an omnibus
but the driver refused to take him in lie Their
begged a boy to take him in his cart and the
boy refused. He staggered on a short distance
and was rapidly falling when solme gentleman
came to his aid and supported him to a drug
store. where his bleeding was staunched ahd
then he was conveyed to his room at the St
Charles Hotel, where he was properly taker
care of. The mere statement Of such all out
rage carries with it its own comment.-N U
