A HEAVY WINDFALL.-We learn
from M. January that $4,000 in
Mexican dollars were found on last
Sunday near the Tuscasse Crossing,
on the San Jacinto, about 100 yards
from the scene of the fatal difficulty
between Smith and May, by man
under tho assumed name Of Yoakum.
1t is supposed to have been' buried
in that spot by Gonzales, who was
one Of the early cOlonists of this
State in 1928. Gonzales was killed
not far from the same place by rob
bcrs in the same year, we think,
who thought he had the money on
his person. 1t was known by many
persons that the money was buried
somewhere on the San Jacinto, and
many vain searches were made for
the treasure. Yoakum, whom old
inhabitants think they have seen
in Texas many years ago, appeared
in the neighborhood somo weeks
ago, by himself alone, to search for
the money and was successful There
is-aomsgnolia tree near the Tuscas-
SO Crossing having tho following
inscription cut upon it: "S. Null,
1925" Yoakum, as soon'as he saw
the characters, measured fifty yards
due cast, dug into the earth and
discovered the money. After this
Singular transaction he Immediate

CaDfain Johns Letters.

II is somewhat strange that mind so
obscrvant, reflective and practical as that
of Captain John should have ever been per-
suaded that 1t is to the interest Of Texas to
concilate the ignorant slaves Of the reyo-
lutionary party and assert that the consti-
Stunning too much ignorance on the part of
our readers to review the political history
of the various Southern States since the
war to provo the ruinous effects of the con-
ciliatory policy. Among our numerous
friends in other States, who, with good in
tentions and the hope of speedy reconstruc-
ton, favored and advocated such policy, We
have never heard one express himself, after
the fruits were known, but that he regretted
the hour such fatal action was committed.
The educational system which will be pro-
jected by the Convention may be wise and
beneficial in its results But that is inrma-
terial; the question is not one Of education
or State prosperity. 1t is, is the United
States constitutional government Has
Congress the right to disregard that con-
stitution, and in the pleBitsde of malevo-
lence and frenzy Of strife for power, the
right to trample upon the constitutional
guarantees Of the privileges and immuni-
hes of eight millions of American citizens 2
As sure as Heaven, the constitution which
will be submitted by the Radical tools will
contain in its very preamble the inalie nable
right Of the negro to vote. That alone is
sufficient We would warn our readers
against any constitution they could posi-
bly, frame. The outlines Of their prerog-
atives viii be forwarded from Washington,
nor dare they snscend them. To vote for
the constitution wou be TO acknowledge
the business and cobstitutionality of the
reconstructionary policy Of Congress-
Where is the anti-Radical who CAM Why
is il certain that the constitution " be
adopted2 Has ne, Alabama, true to her race,
defeated hersl Has not glorious old Lon
isiana, where the negroes have registered
majority Of more than forty thousand, de-
fested il at every poll heard frOm2 In
Texas we have . white majority Of ten
thousand, and it is said the consultation
will be adopted We spurB the thought as
the most degrading commentary upon the
intelligence, want Of manly virtue and
aeb.sins sycOphsncy Of the people that
could be uftey,d- We cannot believe they

DO" For several days this week we have
been enjoying the delightful company Of
Major NJ. II. Royston, the polished and in
telligent State Agent Of the Planters Mu-
tual Insurance Company. 1t is with no
ordinary pleasure this Company is recon-
mended to the public. The gentlemen
whose names appear on the list of drec-
tors should be sufficient guarantee of not
only the fairness and justice with which il
will DO conducted, but Of its ability and
solvency. 1t is State enterprise and all
encouragement should be given to every
institution which will retain the money of
the people within the limits of the State
Every success in any branch Of business is
assurance Of corresponding one in 9TH
ers, and the certainty Of tho introduction
Of new enterprise. Maj. Jordan, our en-
ergetic and genial fellow townsman, is the
agent at this place. All would do we'll to
call upon Maj. Jordan and insure in the
Planters Mutual Insurance Company.

TuE STEAMSHIP JOSEPHINE ASD
HER PArRoSEss.-A gentleman
writing TO US from the Rio Grande,
speaking OF the visit OF this boauti-
Gi steamer to the BRACES de San
tiago and hor dangerous beaching
on the breakers OF Padre Island,
says: 1T would be we'll to mention
the heroic conduct oftho fair beauty
who gave tho new steamer her name,
Miss Josephine Hutchinson, who,
in spite Of all entrcatics TO come
rway from the vessel, proclaimed
her intention to remain aboard until
she would DO either nnoat or go To
pieces" Our friend Mr.. HutcbiD-
ron will doubtless excuse this pre-
sumption that La Pdtrond is un.
married. By the way, Miss. Hutch
inson has inherited n fearless spirit
on shipboard, for she is an hlgerinc,
and has sailor blood in her veins.

cay Cotton as n large crop and on large
plantations has about played out" But
il 10 remarkable that many Of our small
upland farmers nre putting in few acres
each. This is particularly the case in this
section, where almost every farmer will
raise few bales, made by his own home

of negroes for its culture. Cotton in small

this region, will pay, particularly if il sus-

barn that DIR. Thompson, residing
in Grayson- county, on Red River,
on the Col. Young farm; was MUIR
dered last week, in the edge of Cook
county, about four miles from
Whitesboro. 1t seems that the de-
ceased had gone out to hunt his hor-
ses, and was found on a little trail,
sbout 300 yards from the Macomb
road. He was shot ten times. Sus-
picion attached to two young men,
living at Mr.. Youngs, near where
the murder occurred, by the name
of William Young and Nicely Heron;
both have left. Pursuit has been
made, and it is hoped that If guilty
they may be caught and dealt with
according to law. From all appear
anees, this was a most foul murder,
and 20 far as known, wholly with
oat cause.
These facts we learn from Mr.. F.
