SHOOTING AND LYNcIuNG.-The

TO be despcrado, and the Ranger
says he behaved in an outrageous

his pistol on several bar keepers for
refusing to furnish him liqnor with

el:
Mayor Jones sent a party tn An

for trial. On the way back with
the prisoner. in a strip Of woods,
the guard was hailed by a crowd of
sixty armed men. They were or

Governor pansp.

We observe that Flakes Bulletir
thinks that Governor Pease is ont
Of the purcst of public men. Will
the Governors character in th,
walks of private life we have moth
ing to do, but when public man is
held up in an influential journal as
an example, we think all acts reIa
ting to his course toward the pub
lie, arc proper subjects of comment
Governor Pease is an old citizen
of Texas, his residence dating back
to the time when wo were q part o.
Mexico. He has been an active
lawyer and business man, as we'll as
politician. Before he entered into
politics it is well known that he IA
vored African slavery, not only OF
those blacks who were inherited by
Our people from their fathers, but
those who were brought into the
country contrary to our laws and
treaties with other Governments,
as is witnessed by his ownership
and enslavement of part of the car
go of Africans brought into the
country by the celebrated forger,
Monroe Edwards.
Gov. Pease was afterwards, for a
number Of years, beginning in 1916,
a member of the State Legislature
Governor of the State from 1853 to
1857, and afterwards a candidate for
the United States Senate before the
State Legislature, during all of
which time he was known as one of
the most ultra members of the Dem
ocratic party, invariably marching
up to the tune of the organizers
and leaders-in fact being one of
them himself.
Failing, however, to be elected to
the Senate as he had hoped, in 1859
he joined aseparate Democratic par
ty of which Gen. Houston was the
head; and in 1860 he and other
gentlemen got up mass meeting
to nominate the old hero for the
Presidency. This meeting was at
Buaas' garden in the city of Austin,
and afterwards adjourned to the
Capitol. Gen. N. II. Darnell was
Chairman, and Gen. LIZ sle Coombs
of KY, ex-Gov. Porter of Pennsyl-
vania, Gen. A. B. Norton, Col. John
L. Haynes and Martin d. Hart par.
ticipatcd in it. Governor Pease was
appointed as Chairman of the Com
mittee on resolutions, and brought
in the report, from which we ex-
tract as follows:
"Resolred, 1st. That the National
Democracy of Texas are devoted TO
the Constitution and tho Union; to
the reserved rights of the States,
and to the Administration of the
Government upon the strict princi--
pies of the delegated powers only.
"Res0lued, Sd, That we utterly
abhor tho sectional fanaticism of
the sbolitionists. aud we see in their
dogmas and principles constant
tendency toward secession, servile
and civil war; and to the same
may be attributed the reasonable
designs and overt acts of the insur-
and murderers, whose
crimes have recently been so justly
punished"
The Cincinnati platform was en-
dorsed. and the administration OF
James Buchanan applauded.
This was Governor Pease in 1860.
The Governor may be perfectly
pure in his motives. but it is hard
for us TO reconcile his former with
his present position and if a man,
in n few years, 50 completely chang

course Of bis life, as has the Cover

NEAR Carlinville, Illinois, a few days
ago, Mrs. Dorlesky Sherman was killed
by her accepted lover, William Sherman,
as he claims by accident. The lady had
successfully married and become the
widow Of two of young Shermans elder
brothers, and was soon to wed a third
time, much against the wishes of her
brother, Gideon Lopez On the day re-
ferred TO, she was taking ride with her
children and intended husband, when
they met Lopez, with loaded wagon.
The vehicles came in collision, by some
means, and Sherman Immediately drew
n pistol, and Lopez struck him with a
billet of wood. The pistol was dis
charged two or three times, without
effect upon the intended victim, whose
horses had taken him beyond range; but
the last shot, in some unexplained man
ner, was directed at the heart of the
lady, and caused her death in few
minutes. Sherman was held for trial on
charge of murder.
