~ Herald gives an account Of tile death Of
this gentleman, who was reared IN Calves.
ton, where his parents now reside.
Crosier had driven n negro from a seat
near q lady Ia the ladies' car, on some rail.
road, when \ squad Of negroes, hearing OF
the difficulty, came up, arrested, and were
about 10 shoot another man. Crosler stem.
cd up aud said he was the author Of the Of
fence. lie was taken 10 headquarters,
whore he acknowledged what lie had done,
aud said no would do il again under SINH
lar circumstances. lie was then sentenced
TO death, aud taken under strong guard q
few yards from camp, and hole being dug
was ordered TO kneel upon It's margin. Az
this point, Mr. S. p. Kinard, who lives near
approached and saw the flash of tho guns
ms the negroes fired upon Crosier, who inn
inediatcly fell. Mr. X. saw the negroes NJ
terward Jumping upon the body, which was
too large FOR the hole. All this time the
regiment, the 33l Of United States colored
troops, was IN line, in READINGS to move,
which II did in short time, q few miles
down the road, TO wait for the cars.
An inquest was held, and much evidence
elected, but whether sufficient to prove thu,
the colonel of these negro troops was cogni-
SAINT OF their atrocity, is not known. The
Herald says the case 'calls loudly for cx-
/ animation and satisfaction and that the
facts will be submitted TO the Secretary oil
| War. II adds: "The deceased is said IA
have been most cstimnblc young man
brave and generous, as was clearly shown
In his giving himself up, when he might
have escaped. During the morning of Fri.
day our citizens had the body taken IRON
the hole, where il was only partially cover
ed, placed in neat coffin and inferred in
the Newberry graveyard, in the afternoon
very larger respectable and sympathizing
procession of ladies and gentlemen follow
ing it to its final resting place."
Mr. Crozer had been member Of the
Sd Kentucky Confederate Cavalry. lie
was shot on the 23d of last month.
Calvin Crosior, whose tragical death il
announced above, --long resided in Dallas
where he was greatly respected by all who
knew him. AT the beginning of the war,
prompted like thousands of the best and
bravest of Texan youths, he joined the ar
my of the Confederate States; enlisiing ms
private in Goods Battery light Artillery
he served in this Battery until the Summer
of 1892 when he was transferred. to Ganos
Squadron Texas Cavalry. He greatly dis
tinguished himself for GOODNESS and daring
bravery in the many trying scenes through
which Gano's Squadron passed during the
war. The Confederate States had no better,
truer, or Drawer soldier than Calvin Gro.
zier; and hundreds Of the brave survivors
Of the war will drop tear to the memory
of Cal. Crozier, when they shall read of
his brutal murder as recounted above.

REMARKABLE RoBBERY.--A New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal relates
the foil wing;
The banker was inside the counter near
the safe. A man came in without hat,
and with pen behind his ear. He walk
ed round to the spot where the banker
stood, who was talking with gentlemen
and said to him: "Plcase 10 move, sill"
and the banker did. The fellow coolly took
out Of the safe several thousand U. s. bonds,
and coolly walked away, and has never
been seen from that time to this Near the
closing hours of business the bonds were
sought for-and could not be found. The
banker turned TO one of the clerks and ask
ed him for them, stating that he saw him
remove them from the drawer. Fortunate
ly the clerk was able to prove an alibi, and
then the audacity Of the thief was made
apparent.

a CrnIosIrY.--We saw at the depot OF
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, a
few days ago, one Of the qucerest looking
cars ever manufactured. 1t looked like an
iron-clsd "pay-car." We understand that
it was purchased by Col. Tate short time
ago at the sale Of Government railroad
stock, at Nashville. 1t is said to have been
built by The Government for the use Of its
army officers, during the war, on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga, and Chattanooga
aud atlanta Railroads. Besides being
'iron-clad" it lie divided of into ell sorts CT
convenient and luxurious apartments At
one end, you enter n little room, which
eceme 70 have been devoted to eatables and
dfinkabies; The next, is an elegant little
dining-room or card-room; the next is a
luxurious sleeping apartment, about large
enough for general and his personal staff
and the next and last is splendid adju-
tsnt's effice, arranged with desks, tables,
pigeon-holes, and everything requisite for
well appointed headquarters Office. The
whole is built ia the finest and most sub
stantiai style and We have no doubt IL the
entire truth could be got at, that this car
has NEST interesting, and, perhaps, ro-
mantle history. We are told that The off,
GERS Of the Memphis and Charleston road

and we have come 10 the conclusion thai
Gov. Hamilton has been guided in his Off

his administration blessing to the people
Of Texas, without regard 10 post political
differences. His acts as Governor taken
all together. stamp him as an able, wise
and patriotic statesman Having differed

THE COMMANDER OF THE SHENANDOAH
Lieutenant Jemes j.. Waddell, who COM

the U. S. naval servic at Portsmouth, Va,

The RADICALS ANDTHE NEGRoEs.--It &C.
ours to us that there has been a plan on
foot for some time past TO out general the
Radicals. Mississippi, and, perhaps, some
other of the Southern States "madc out" as
if they were terribly afraid of negro iesti-
mony and of the equality of the freedmen
in the courts of justice: whereupon the
Radicals abandoned everything else, and
began to insist on negro testimony as 'the
chief end of man." Far negro testimony
they would admit the Southern representa-
tiyes to Congress, and for negro testimony
they will allow the negroes to be counted in
the Southern representative apportionment.
Only let them stick to that; If they are
satisfied with it, the South will certainly be
and will even go SO far as to adopt vote
Of thanks TO those Southern States which,
first raised contest on the question SO as
to put the Radicals on the wrong TRAIL

Bog The cities OF Houston and Galveston
were nevor buster than at the present time.
Every merchant seemed on tho run and
pushing business to its utmost. They all
had large stocks which they were selling
rapidly, and making room for new stocks
arriving and on the way; stores and
ware-rooms were filed with customers, with
their pockets lined with silver and gold,
and the merchant, the customer and The
clerks all seemed pleased with themselves
and with one another. One of the new
features'o business in these cities which
the war has given rise 20, are the auctions
Two, three, four and some times six times
week, large auction sales of new and
fashionable goods are made, which, as in
the Northern cities, are now tho criterion
for the market prices. These establish
ments which were inaugurated during the
war, as speedy means of disposing of
heavy stocks from the blockade runners,
have assumed the character of permanent
institutions in the coast cities, anu are
conducted OH strict and honorable business
principles. None need fear being "taken
in" by visiting the great auction houses Of
Houston and Galveston.
