Texas Intelligence.

The Galveston News Of Saturday last says:
George White, who was arrested in our city on the
23d inst, for rape committed near Harrisburg on
little girl, was taken back to that town and surren-
dered to the authorities. He was taken before a
magistrate and convicted of the ofense. The excited
citizens took him out of the town, towards Houston,
and hung him. Our informant passed the body dang
ling to tree yesterday at P. NJ.
The Austin Courier states that for the year ending
June LIST, 1885, 27s54 bales of cotton were received
at the Hampstead depot.
The Houston Telegraph understands that the G. Il
H. Company have been sued for $l75 900 by some
of their contractors and thinks the suit will doubt.
lass bring to focus the propretorshp of the road.
The Matagorda Gazette of the 18th says:
The past week has been propitious one for those
engaged in planting Several good rains have fallen,
and the earth is thoroughly wet. We learn that ali
the early corn that was not injured by the frost is in
roastingear. Cotton continues to look WE'LL and the
prospects for an abundant yield are excellent.
The Houston Republic Of Thursday last says:
On Tuesday night We had one of those copious and
heavy showers which have the effect Of nourishing
the earth and purifying the air. On Wednesday
morning it was cool and refreshing, and all nature
clothed in suit of gay green colors. The rains are
seasona6e; they promise prolific crop of the
sares of te and abundance of the staple prOduc-
tions of our State. The intelligence from different
points say that cotton promises WELL corn is fair and
the sugar crop will be much more abundant than at
any former period. The rains of late have been &C.
companied by vivid Lightning and thunder.
The second troop marched against the Upper Re-
serve by Capt Baylor, consisted, it is sad of about
700 men; but after remaining encamped several
days in the neghborhood of the Reserve they broke
up and dispersed without making any attack, partly
| in consequence of dissensions among themselves
and partly because Of rumor that Major Van Dorm
was approaching with body of soldiers to attack
them. The Bell Independent states that Baylor
could not command his subordinate officers, and
they could not command the men under them
thereby producing delightful state of confusion
1t also learns from reliable authority, that the scalp
of a white child, about which so much holy horror
has been excited, was mere fiction, and had never
been seen. Hence the strongest crcumstantial evil
dence that the Reserve Indians have ever committed
murder on the frontier, has failed, and leaves it all
presumptve.
The Independent states that the frontier above
them, as we'll as the upper country, all the way to
Parker, is breaking up, and wagons are continually
passing through Bolton, with stocks of cattle,
ing out for safety.
The Brazoria Democrat, of the 21st says:
We get cheering news on all sides in regard to the
crops. or course the will need more rain soon
but corn and cotton on many places will need but
little if any more The corn crop Of this county
will be very heavy.

The Senatorial Convention Again,
From the polnte ooupee Echo, 18th inst

From the Ponte Coupee Echo, 18th inst
We remarked in our report of the so.called conven
tlon last week, that it our opinion that Ayoyenes
was entirely unaware of the time fixed for holding a
convention to nominate candidate for the Senate and
now prepared to prove the correctness of our
conjecture by the following resolutions introduced on
the occasion OF the appointment of delegates to rep.
resent Avoyelles, which we take from the Avoyelles
Pelican.
F. Rcord presented the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
tora District Convention be instructed for him
Resopd That the President meeting appoint six dele
which will be held Bayou Sara the 18th of July next
with leave and hory meet at other point that may
The President appointed the following delegates to
the Senatorial Convention:
Ludger Barbn, L. X. Branch, G. P. Voorhies, j. B
| Gremion, j. j. Ducote, John O'Quin.
In addition to the above, we ascertained from Mr.
Chdress President of the meeting that before fixing
the 10th of July suitable day, he inquired if any
one present in the meeting knew whether any time
and place had been proposed by either of the sister
parishes for the convention, and received negative
| answer. He then suggested the 18th and appointed
| the delegates.
We heard Mr.. Phillips say, that while at the State
| Convention, he informed the delegates from Avoy
ees that the 18th Of June and Bayou Sara had beer
agreed upon as the time and place for the conven
ton but Mr. Chdress, one OF the delegates to the
State Convention and the President of the meeting
Whlch appointed delegates to the senatorial Conven
ton, told us that Mr.. Phillips did not inform him
nor did any of the delegates know anything of it, SC
far as he knew, for had they been aware Of it they
would have informed him or when he asked pub
lcly if any one knew anything of the matter it Ger
tainly would have been stated had it been known.
| There is no question about the matter now, as re
CARDS the validity of the nomination of Edward Phil
lips and we are glad to see that many of the Demo
| Gratis of our parish have taken the matter in hand
and have petitoned to the Democratic Central Com
mittee of Point Coupee to call meeting to re
pndiate this unfair nomination, made in violation o
| all Democratic usages. The Democracy of Avoyelles
also protest against it, and will unite with us il
bringing forward man who can go before the people
with much less questionable Endorsement than Mr.
| Phillips can boast Of
