ISDErESDESr CASpipArEs.-It always sayours bad
ly to hear Of ''independent candidates" In Demo-
cratic State. II is to he fairly presumed that they
are running independently Of the Democracy, espe-
oay when II is notorious fact that the party in oppo-
sition to the regular nominees always support these
independent candidates. and show thereby an unmii
gSied hostility TO the honorcd principles for whose
perpetuity the Democracy has always contended. 1t
Is virtually saying to the world 'we consider our
selves strong enough to be elected wtou the votes Of
Democrats; and thus array themselves in direct OPP
position to the success Of the Democratic Party. The
Independent Houston Ticket, in substance, says this
to all good and true Democrat, and yet they borrow
for the occasion little Of the effect that always ut
taches to the name Of Democracy, to entrap unwary
members ofthat party. Independent candidates smell
ably, and always create a suspicion Of something
rotten. Gen. Houston and party, in their purloined
robes are still the same unaterabe ackdaws decked
in the pilfercd plumage of the cage of Democracy
Be not deceived, ye Democrats.

A Word to Democrats.

Are you satisfied with the platform Of principles
enumerated at the city of Houston in May, the same
platform that was adopted at Waco two years ago,
and the same, with whose principles you entered the
field and came of more tlap conquerer' This plat
form you know contains the purest set Of political
principles That hasever emenated from any delibera-
tive body in the State Of Texas and contains in full
all those articles of faith that democrats have es-
poused with enthusiasm, these many years,-doc-
trnes that are cherished and held sacred our own
fresides, and have become As household words in
every democratic home,--doctrines that are unpaa-
table to know nothngs, and oppositionsts, because
this platform which embodies those principles con-
dpns every movement of the factonists, and reiter-
afcs reproac hful tones to all the dsafected their
purity and excellence compared with any set of dog
mas, promulgated by the anti-democratic movement
Our platform enyaces every doctrine that tends to
promote and elevatethe rights Of the South lit en-
braces the truthful creed of Southern patriots and
statesman. il is brmful States rights and of strict
construction of the Constituto, and shows the high
es: regard for the safety OF the Unsn and the nvio
liability Of the Constitution. If democrats are satis

SINGULAR ErsrCT OF ASToIN-C nder the
head OF Unaccountable" the Clayton
County Jou17.1' makes the following state
ment:
Perhaps some Of our readers have no.
ticed the singular appearance OF the fruit
and forest trees, since the recent storm
which did so much damage. Those who
have not noticed it, may sec the effect
produced by the storm at that time. They
VIII observe that on the west side OF the
trees which We're most exposed, the leaves
present the appearance OF having been ex-
poSed 10 the action OF fire, being com
pletely shriveilcd UP. 1t is only the west
side Of the trees that present this appear
ance, the rest Of the leaves being IN as
good condition as before the storm. All
kinds of vegetables were destroyed by the
same agent, whatever it was, wherever
there was no protection against the storm.
What caused this devastation is nys-
terry; there was no frost-thcre could be
none with the wind blowing SO strong and
the rain falling so fast as it did on that oc-
casion. 1t has been a source of great
wonderment to all who have noticedit, no
one ventures TO express an opinion IN re-
gard to it, all agree that it is entirely be-
yond their comprehension. Whatever
this destructive agent is, we hope it will
not visit our country soon again, and we
hope some elucidatior Of he mystery will
at no distant day be brUnelt to hight
Probably some scientific nan may give a
satisfactory account cf the phenomenon.
