Honor manipulates the pocket book
of some poor unfortunate individual.
A few days since, a gentleman
employed a colored woman to do some
washing for him. At the conclusion
of her work, he discovered that a
number of pieces were missing, which
he spoke of to a friend. By some
means she overheard him, and ac-
costed him about it. He stated the
fact to her, and asked that she should
look them up; whereupon her sable
majesty flew into a violent rage,
giving free utterance to many loud
and abusive epithets, interspersed
with Billingsgate sufficient to sustain
a frst-class Five Points establish
ment. This was all borne in silence,
although he was in his own domicil.
But "there is a point where forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue" At
length, her language became so in
sulting that he, as any one else would
have done, brought her to halt, by
chastising Der. And for this infrac-
ton of the law, this violation of the
peace and dignity of the city, His
Honor, the Lord High Mayor of
Austin, the Don Quixote of Texas
and defender of womankind through
out his realm, reduced the contents
of the gentleman's pocket to heal the
wounded honor of the city and APP
pease the terrible wrath of that
''maid of sable hue" Seventeen dol
lars and a quarter would settle the
bill! Just that sum would restore
the city to its equilibrium, and win
back a smile to the maiden's cheek.
Who could hesitate ? The ring of
the metal, as it fell upon his Hon
or's table, brought joy to has heart,
peace and consolation to her soul.

Brown occupied the chair of state,

City Taxes.
J. N FINLEY, Secretary.
Editor of Democratic Statesman.
CTD, Ub,o,,6 1850, I,,ollo

Editor OF Democratic Statesman.
SIR: Through your invaluable pa
per, 1 beg leave to call the atten>
ton of the public, and more particu.
larly the special attention of the tax
payers of the city of Austin to the
manner and mode in which the funds
of the city are disposed of and wasted
by the Mayor and City Board.
By looking into the records or
minutes of the City Board, you will
see that, his Honor the Mayor, made
out and presented to the City Board,
and by said board allowed, an acs
count for hack conveyance to take
his Honor home from his Honor's
Office, and to bring him back to said
Office, to prevent his Honor's shoes
or boots from being wet or soiled in
his passage to and from his Office.
1 am informed that his Honor,
the Mayor, in making up his quar-
terly budget according to his own
will and pleasure, presents it to his
Privy Council, and it is passed upon,
in the gross, by sweeping vote of
said council, no special examination
had, of individual accounts, as his
Honor has passed upon said accounts
in his Privy Chamber.
The Council takes it for granted,
that there can be no error in the
matter; warrants are drawn by his
Honor on the City Treasurer, said
warrants presented to said treasurer,
and paid in money; said treasurer
bearly lifting up his spectacles to see
or inquire into the matter, how and
and in what manner said warrants
were obtained.
1 once knew Mr.. Treasurer, as a
member of the Finance Committee
of the City Board; he was then very
scrupulous in counting money, not
only dollars, but cents and fractions.
1 would respectfully suggest, that
there should be an auditor appointed,
whose duty it should be to examine
all accounts, for which the city might
be responsible, and to take away
from the Mayor, as far as possible,
all connection with the financial con-
Germs of the city.
The Mayor seems to be acting in
several capacities. As a travelling
he is a dangerous
person to be entrusted with the fiscal
affairs of the city.
1 beg leave to suggest to the Board
that they should set apart compe-
tent amount of city funds as a con-
tingent fund, to be used only for the
special use and benefit of his Honor
the Mayor; to be used by him at his
own will and pleasure; amply sufi-
cient to authorize him to hire and
keep in his service, such person, or
persons as his Honor may deem ex-
pedient to attend to, and keep in or
der his bed room, chamber, etc., and !
to groom his horse.
The City Treasurer will certainly |
honor a city draft for that purpose.
He will not go behind the action of
the City Board to ignore the draft.
of the Board, l hatter my
self that you will act promptly, bow

ny arm. A CITY TAXPAYER.

The Rich and Poor.

To the Editor of the Democratic Statesman.
AUSTIN, September 6, 1871.
Mr.. EDITOR 81 am free to con-
fess that my aVocation in life pre-
cludes me from embarking upon the
stormy sea of politics. In fact, 1
have not learned the slang phrases
to whisper into the ear of the igno-
rant, nor the can't expressions used to
delude the unwary. Neither have
l permitted myself to swallow all the
clap-trap arguments-if they may be
dignifed with the name of arguments,
that designing politicians would like
to cram down my throat. But 1 do
claim to be possessed of common
sense, and l do claim to understand
when an argument is based upon
sound premises and logically carried
out to its legitimate conclusion.

any income save that which falls to
nae as the reward of daily toll. Free
from the burdens of Office, I am free
from "chicken pie"
thank God, however, that He has
endowed me with sufficient intellect
to discern right from wrong, sOphis-
try from truth and all the republican
humbug clap-trap, from sound rea-
sOning. The expression used by a
demagOgue during the late rebellion
that it was ga rich mans war and
poor mans fight furnished text
for Ex-Congressman Degener last
Saturday night, from which he sought
to harangue the people into the be-
lief that the present political contest,
upon the part of the democrats, was
one for the purpose of bene6tting the
rich at the expense of the sweat and
toll of the poor.
Upon that expression, that saying,
he hoped to make a point; to array

Mass Meeting Of the Citizens
and Taxpayers of Mason

Mass Meeting Of the Citizens
and Taxpayers of Mason
County.
Editor of Democratic Statesman.
On the I'd day of Sept. 1871, the
citizens and taxpayers of Mason
county, met at the court house and
organized the meeting by electing
Hon. David Doole to the chair and
appointed j. M. Finley, secretary.
The object of the meeting being
explained by the chair in an able and
eloquent style, G. W. Todd, Esq,
was called on and addressed the
meeting in an able speech, denounc>
ing the party seeking to rob the peo-
pie of their hard earned money by
heavy taxation. Then followed Hon.
II. Won Werder in the German LAM
guage. Then Hon. James E. Rauck,
who entertained the convention in a
speech of about one hour and half.
The Hon. Thomas Stewart of Rock
port, in his happy and forcible, style
addressed the people and said many
good and truthful things.
The chair then appointed G. W.
Todd, ESQ.,, Charles Martin and
Henry Hoerster to draft resolutions,
who, after being absent a short time,
returned and read the following res
solutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, In accordance with a call of the
Taxpayers of Travis county, dated Austin,
August 8, 1871, earnestly requesting all the
counties in the State to send delegates to
meet in Austin on the 22d day of September,
1871 and
Whereas, Uuder Section xix of the Bill of
Rights, the people have the right in peaee-
able manner to assemble together for the
common good, and apply to those invested
with the powers of Government, for redress
of grievances or other purposes, by petition,
address, or remonstrances. Therefore,
ResolUsd, l. That we do heartily concur in
the suggestions made by the citizens Of Travis
county, 10 meet at Austin on the 22d day of
September, 1871.
2. That in our opinion the tax is unneces-
sary, unlawful and unreasonable by law, and
ought to be resisted by all the legal means
within the gift of the people.
3. That we hereby instruct our delegate
to use all the means within his power for our
release from such an exorbitant taxation, and
to take such other action in our behalf as he
may deem best for the interest of this county
4. That we elect Hon. David Doole, to rep
resent US as our delegate in the convention
to meet at Austin, 22d September, 1871, or
on any other day that may be hereafter set
apart for the meeting of said convention.
5. That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the San Antonio Herald, and
the Democratic Statesman, and other papers
friendly to the cause.
Meeting adjourned sine die.

THE PHILPoT MURDER.-The State Journal
says at will be recollected that Kimball
the fellow who turned states evidence in the
affair of tia murder Of Philpot, eliminated,
with Barnes, the principal assassin, man
named Deel, who was the companion Of the
latter. Search has been made for Deel, and
a short time since he was arrested by the
Deputy Sheriff of Hearne."
Now the truth of the matter is, no evidence
whatever has been produced eliminating
Deel. John Deel is an ex>Confederate SOL
der, of Company A, 4th Texas Infantry, who
was at Gaines Farm, Malvern flights, Antie-
tam, Gettysburg and Chickamaugua, and
saved Gen. J. B. Hoods life by shooting down
a Yankee soldier IN the act of firing at his
General, and hence the Radical blood-hounds
are prosecuting him. Capt. VIM. Walsh, w.
F. Ford, Sid. MOseley, Mr.. Giles, and others
of his old comrades, saw him, embraced him,
hailed him, and Capt. Walsh entertained him

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1871-09-14

Many members of the Legislature have
arrived in the city, among whom we were
glad to meet an old friend, Col. L. B. Camp,
of Refugio, who is looking well, and means
business. The Col. observed that the Repub.
lican journals throughout the State for some
time back had been very extravagant in their
laudatiOns of Gov. Davis, but not disposed
to respect the Legislature which had made
them, by authorizing the Executive to select
one in each Judicial District and make it the
organ of the administration. The selections
made by Gov. Davis in several instances had
been unwise and iniudiciOus. "Indeed," Col.
Camp said, 81 am now satisfied that the law
which authorizes the selection of journal
in each Judicial District for publishing ad-
vertisements, notices, etc., has been an injury
to the Republican party"
The Legislature sboutto meet can do great
good to the people of Texas by undOing many
hings which it has done. By repeating the
militia, police, State guard, standing army
bill, the enabling act, the election law, and
printing bill, which will clip the wings of his
soaring majesty, Edmund ], our Legislature
will receive the applause and thanks of a
great majority of Texans.
at is human to err, but divine TO forgive"
and although the people may justly complain
of the Anti-republican, unjust, tyrannieal and
despOtic character Of these laws-mcst
plainly shown so by their enforcement-they
would be very happy to have chance to
forgive their Legislators should they repeal
them, and Twin rejoice and be exceeding
glad in having an opportunity to do SO.
