IN he IypcsraPhicdl UEioa.-An exciting scene
took place At the City Hall on SATURDAY. nioAt.
at the meeting Of the Columbia TYpograpicai
Union, on which occasion there was a full
attendance OF the members, as the question OF
color vas expected TO come up. A ballot was
taken in the case Of j. 4. Smith, (colored)
which resulted in % In favor OF his admission
ana es for rejection. While the votes were
being Counted, a motion was made to taka
vote in the case OF Frederick Douglass, ,Jr
objection was made, and the Chair ruled that
a. tne the case OF Frederick Douglass, Jr.. had
been referred to the President OF the Intsrno-
tlonal Union for decision, this Union could not
consider the question. Mr.. A. Il. Cavis said the
case OF W. A. Lavatette was next in order bus
as certain aggressive articles had lately APP
peared over Iavalette's signature, il was
proper that some inquiry should be IN lde before
acting upon bis case, and offered resolutions
providing for the appointment OF a Committee
OF investigation. Much excitement and debate
ensued, and after several sbortiye attempts 10
restore order and bring the meeting 10 a work

There are about ten State police
men lying around town, drawing
eighty dollars per month, doing no
good, not even in arresting escaped
convicts.

Kaleidoscope. ~ Wea therford Post.


Nsl- The Radical caucus of the State
Legislature, at Austin the other day decid-
ed that there shall be no election this year
for members of that body. Little i. IL. q.
of the Houston Union, writing from Aus
tin thus descants on the subject, or "settles
it,,
Now, as | understand the situation, to
be very plain, the Democrats favor an ear
ly election, for the main reason tina; they
are out and ,oaat TO get in; while the Repuo-
licans mainly favor postponement because
they are in and don't rant TO take The chan
ces Of getting out; hence 1T appears TO me
that one view is about as sensible as the
Other and the other about as selfish ms
"tolher." Now, the Republicans also IA
vor pOstponement because they do not care
to ntruct to perform so much hard aprty
labor as the thorough organization oil our
forces throughout the State would entail
upon them ut this time. They know that
il will be much easier to organize the par
ty throughout the State one year hence
than it would be at the present time, be-
cause we will then have better railroad
and telegraph facilities than we have now,
and because there will then be better pro-
lection for life all over Texas, and particu-
larly in such benighted and Ku. klux rid
den districts as Lieut. Jim billiard halls
from, as also in the northern and extreme
eastern portions ofthe State. The reasons
are sound and reasonable, and cannot be
objected to ON the part of the Democrats,
because they, too, will got the benefit of the
railroads and telegraph wires, and If they
are willing 10 stand upon their merits and
principles, and not resort to fraud and IN
Iimidation TO control the election, they
cannot object TO the proposition ! now
make becausc there is 10 constitutional
question in vslved, and besides, if their par
~ is gaining strength rs rapidly az they
would hive the people belieTe, why, they
can beat us that much ensier when the
election does take place.

ERATn CoUNTY.-Cnpt. Fl. L. Ray, Dis
trict Attorney for this District, returned
from the above county, which was his for
mer residence on Monday last, and will
make his home permanently in Dallas.
Capt. r. informs us that Erath is fast fill
ing up with an enterprising class of emf
grants. The population, he tell us, has
more than doubled In the last six months
and Siephensville, the county seat, is i'm
proving rapidly. Preparations are now
making to build a, substantial Jail, and 9th
erpublic improvements are spoken of. No
hostile Indians have been seen in the coun-
for over ten months, and the inhabitants
feel secure in person and property. Land
is imprOveing in value every day; emf
grants who wish to procure homes at rea-
sonable rates should visit Erath at once.
The best lands with good locations can be-
procured now at low figures.
