The Nayasota Ranger says:
This week we have had deluge of rains and
storms. On Thursday the Brazos had risen within
four feet OF its banks, and it was generally
believed there would be an overflow. On Friday
the river commenced falling, to the great relief of
the bottom planters. We have never seen the
Brazos so high in ten years-dritt wood cattle
horses and fence rails, came floating down. Some
parts of the Navasota were overflown, caused by
the back water of the Brazos, which damaged the
plantation of Mr.. Sawyer.
We find the following item in the Houston Tele-
graph of the 18th:
Yesterday morning at about half,past one
o'clock an attempt was made to rob the residence
of Mr.. James Baily, in the fourth ward. The
thief or thieves entered Mrs. Baily's room by
forcing open the blinds, and were engaged in
taking an inventory of the contents Of her bu-

out of bed she was seized by the arm and tightly
held for a moment, but her screams SO alarmed
the villain that he fed. Mr.. Bay is absent in
New Orleans, and Mrs. Baily and her daughter
were sleeping in the same bed, with a lamp burn
ing in the room, which doubtless afforded the rob-
Der all the assistance he needed in determining the
position of matters. The light was put out by the
robber which was doubtless the cause of Mrs
Baily awaking. We are glad to learn that the
robber reaped no material benefit from the enter
prise.

U. S. colored troops has been assigned in his
place, with headquarters at Galveston. !
The editor of the Galveston Bulletin puts the
following questions to the proprietor of the Tele-
graph: r..
l. Did or did not the leading editor of the
Houston Telegraph ever say that he believed ne
gro suffrage was right, and if remunerated for the
that he would lose, that he would ad-
yocate it? .'-.
2. Did you ever, in person or through friend,
fix ten thousand dollars as the price for which you
would advocate negro suffrage? .'-
3. Do you not know that it was contemplated to |
raise that sum of money by those who said - the |
Bulletin is not radical enough" and to pay the |
same to the Telegraph for advocating unqualified |
negro suffrage? 7.0.
The Telegraph gives these questions an indignant
and emphatic denial and asserts that they are put
with the view of creating false impression on
the minds of those who may not see the denial.
We believe the Telegraph has answered truth
fully. ,. ,.- 90. i;.E Il
