A STRANGE PRoCEEDING.-On Wednesday
last quite an unusual occurrence transpired on
Main street, and created L good deal OF excite
ment 1t appears that some months ago Col.
Bradfute, quiet, unof'cnding, and popular
Texan, who had been living in our community
for some time, had an entertainment at his
house on Park street, and Mrs Bradsute order
ed the necessary refreshments from Fred. Hart

Mrs. Hartnagc stepped across to Tom Wing

Mrs. Bradtute owed him $40 which she had
not paid him promptly, and that il she Mrs.
II. sent the things. he thought it would be
some time before she got the money for them.
Thus it ended, and nothing more was heard
Of it until Wednesday last, when Col. Bradiute
met MIR. Wingfeld and after sitting and talk
ing awhile on the bank steps, Col. Bradtute
asked Mr. Wingfcld to walk down to Bashaw' 5

do so with pleasure, and started but instead OF

Corn, Cotton and Produce.

There are excellent suggestions in the fol
lowing from the Galveston Bulletin, which
applies, in most respects, to Louisiana as
well as Texas:
1t appears pretty certain now that there
will be far less of cotton planted this year
than was last, unless reports from the cotton
region are deceptive. From what we can
learn from different sources, it will be fair
to presume that one third less will be planted
than last year. At the same time the area
OF corn planted will be double what it was
last year. We are inclined to the opinion
that corn will pay better than cotton at any
thing like the present prices.
That We are continually bringing corn,
-four. bacon, and nearly every article upon
which we feed, including Irish potatoes, is a
strange feature in Texas policy when we
know everything can be produced here in
abundance. But the facts are that the
people have kept up the former habit of
planting cotton and purchasing everything
else, even the milk that goes into their
coffee.
There are few places in the State where
our meals are not made up of articles from
the North, and which could be as well pro.
duced at home. 1t wants attention, and
energy, and. industry, and practice, and
Texas soil and climate will bring every
thing in abundance that will grow any
where. Raise less cotton and more Of
everything else.

Thanks to MIR. sheIl.barser.

We learn from the Washington Chronicle
that on Saturday afternoon delegation OF
gentlemen representing the colored people
of all parts of the country. proceeded to
the Speakers room at the Capitol for the
purpose Of thanking Mr.. Shellabarger for
his labOrs in behalf of the loyal people of
the South, and to congratulate him upon
the passage of the "Ku-Klux bill" through
the House.
Mr.. j. Sella Martin, the spokesman of the
delegation, said:
Mr.. Shellabarger: We come to you to-day
as the representatives of our race in the
South, to return to you our thanks for the
noble part You have taken in pushing this
ku-Kluk bill through the House, and to
congratulate you as the true friend Of the
oppressed and downtrodden of the South.
As loyalists. we give You our thanks; as
Christians, we lift up our voices on high for
your long life and success; and we desire
now to congratulate you, its author. upon
the passage of this bill, which we hope will
prove equal to the emergency. We, there
fore, extend to you our. heartfelt thanks
for your labor in the cause of justice.
Mr.. Martin then proceeded, in mastery
manner, to give in detail some of the many
instances of Outrages that have been perpe-
trated upon the loyal people of the South
Mr.. Shellabargcr responded briefly:
SudlTludu duu Uculltlucu. lou can
not realize how much this call affects me.
1 have no language in which deem it safe
to venture to express myself. You will,
therefore, excuse my not saying at this time
more than Excuse me-" If this call had
come from my own race it would have af-
1ected me but little. but coming as it does
from your race it does affect me, because l
remember, as l look into your faces, the
wrongs OF two hundred and fifty years, and
see in each countenance sentiment of love
and respect Which fully repays any feeble
effort have made in this matter. Again /
thank you..
Mr.. Douglass then arose, and taking Mr..
by the hand, said; Il have
no speech to make, but thank God that
have been permitted to live to see this day.
| can say no more now. Again l thank
you ten thousand times"
The gentlemen of the delegation then
shook hands with Mr.. Shellabarger, each
in few earnest words his indi-
vidual thanks, and after an interval Of con-
retired.
