TEXAS ITEMS.


Alabama, but mora recently from
Henderson, Texas, has settled in JEFF.
fcrson, and associated himself with
the editorial corps Of the Weekly
Clarion. The Col is strong, hon.
est, nervous, and earnest writer, and
cannot fail to give additional char.
ac'er to the alresay popular paper
With which he Is connected.
We are in receipt Of the first num-
Der Of the National Index, published
at Tyler, Texas, and edited by Col.
$. d. Wood, for = number Of years a
citizen Of this county The paper is

in politics, VIC caanot recommend it
TO the households Of the faithful.
The Henderson Times of the 18th,
speaks Of the progress of religious
meeting at the Presbyterian Church,

from so to 70 cents, specie. The
usual price at the crib is city cents.
All the State Discern Of Texas, ex-
cept 1t. Gov. Jones, have been re-
moved. How il happened that he
escaped va do not understand. The
authorities must have concluded there
was no chance for Gov Pease to die
or DO otherwise removed, and that be
fore tho meeting Of the State Senate,
the Constitution will have been
changed, and al the old incumbeats
be thrown out Of Office. II would be
a rics joke on the RAIDS, II Peass
should happen to "go up" and be
succeeded by so.called Reb.
The Sherman Courier Of tho 9Th
says court was in session in Collin
