Mail Robbing.

Mail robberies are becoming so
common nowadays, that il is by
no means safe to risk money, from
one point to another, through the
mails. Only a short time since,
the District Clerk of our county re-
ceived some documents for record
from J. II Starr & Son, real estate
agents & bankers at Marshall, in this
State. When the package arrived
at the post-ofiice here, it was found
to have been riflcd, and the money
amounting to 80 25-taken out.
The robbery was committed some
where between hero and Marshall.
Is there no way of finding out who
the thief is2 AS long as robberies
are committed, every person who
handles tho mails may be suspect
cd, and will be to greater or less
extent; consequently, it places
mail-carriers and postmasters in
very awkward position. Tho at
tention Of the special mail agent is
called to this line. Some improper
person handles the mails, or some
proper person handles them i'm
properly. Mr.. III. +. Peery, of our
town, received registered pack
age, only few days since, which
had been riAed, and over 500 tax.
en- therefrom. The package was
mailed at Tazewell, Va. When it
arrived, it was sealed 80 completely |
that. it was impossible to detect
anything wrong about it, but when
the letter was taken from the regis
tered envelope, it was apparent that
the envelope had:been unsealed and
sealed up again. Now, some post
master beween this place and Vir-
ginia has made 500 by opening
that package, and Mr.. Peery has
lost the same amount of money
We have Invariably advised the peo-
pie of this town and vicinity not to
risk money in C registered letter
it only serves as an advertisement
for mail-rcbbers to ego through" it.
Don't send money by registered
letter; procure drafts or post-office
money orders, and your money,
though sometimes delayed, will go
safe.-Cdnton Ne,rs.

Yesterday we were standing upon
tho side walk of tho Avenue, in
conversation with friend, whom
wo were run against by three per-
sons who at once begged our par
don. On turning to look, we dis
covered them to be three poor blind
boys, pupils Of the Blind ASYLUM.
Tho pardon was at once on the 9TH
or side, and our heart felt sympa-
thy with the well bred and gentle
manly youths, who, though the
light Of day is forever shut out
from their souls, nevertheless show
cd themselves imbued with that
light which CLEANS from the polite
and refined, no matter in what sta.
ton or condition.-Austin State

s~Fears are entertained that Mensi.

o~ Fears are entertained that Mengis,
.be poor German, who was on the Grand
Jury that indicted Gov. Davis, has been
foully dealt by. He, with one Richa I'd son,
9 colOred man, also on the Jury, we're nc
sused by the radicals sheets of bribery, aud
they were arrested by Davis officials
They gave bail for their appearance at
Court. Richardson appeared and was tri-
unphantly acquitted. Mengis started
from San Antonio 10 60 TO Austin and dis
spPessed on the way, and has not been
heard Of since. There is no evidence
against him. Forged receipts and lying
afbdsvits we're resOrled TO, il is said, as q
pretext for the arrest Of Mengis and Rich
srdsons All this was done to shield Gov.
Davis from the heavy blow of an indiet-
menf for crime.

DWWe are sorry to learn that Maj. L.
NJ. TERRELL, Special Agent OF the Pc.
Department, who has for the past five or
six months made his headquarters in this
place, has received instructions to report
for duty at New Orleans, and the proba-
bility is that he will be assigned to some
other field Of duty. We take pleasure in
testifying to the earnest and prompt man
ner in which Maj. 7. has discharged his
duty since he has been among us. He has
done much toward the regulation Of our
mail service, and has introduced many
and important improvements in the "cer-
tainty and celebrity" Of the mails in this
State, and we regret to part with him. We
cordially and heartily wish him pleasant
field of usefulness in the future.

D@-We see, by the Galveston News, that
our old friend, Col. A. NJ. Hobby, on the
anniversary of tho Battle of San Jacinto,
presented flag to the Galveston Artillery
Company, with very eloquent and ap-
propriate speech which he is very capable
of making at any time. So pleased were
the young ladies, present, that they trans.

~Some time ago, Gov. Davis attempt
ed to remove Mr.. r. D. Murphy from the
Office Of Surveyor Of Dallas County, to
which no had been appointed by Davis
himself under the Enabling Act. Capt.
VIM. H. Wentworth, the new appointec,
sued out mandamous against Murphy
which was tried before Judge Hart, who
decided in favor Of Wentworth. The case
was taken up by appeal to the Supreme
Court, which has just reversed the decision
Of Judge Hart and dismissed the case.
This settles the question Of the Governors
right Of removal without cause. He has
10 such right. Murphy, therefore re-
mains Surveyor.

n6-lt appears, that n lar go number of
the republicans of San Antonio are dis

Gov. Davis his dismissal from the office
Of Secretary Of State. Newcomb and his
set Of rowdies lately broke up republican
meeting in San Antonio.

The Report Of the COMMITTEES, in the case
Of Giddings vs.. Clark, which it was telo-
graphed would be made last Monday seems
to hang fire. There should be no hesita-
ton or delay in q case of such unmitigated
rascaliiy. But radicalism is equal To any
thing-it knows no shame. Though We
doubt not the seat will be given to Gid
dings, thu Congress will probably reward
Clark with round sum of money TO pay
the expenses Of his political villauy.
