The PrIn1erss E11a1e.

The following remarks viii apply TO all
localities in which our Gazette circulates:
The Printers dollars-where are theyg A
dollar here and dollar their scattered over
the country, miles and miles apart, how
shall they be gathered togetherl The
paper-maker, the journeyman compositor,
the building owner, the grocer, the tailor,
and all assistant to him in carrying on his
business have their demands hardly ever
small as a single dollar. But the mites
from here and there must be diligently
gathered and patiently boarded, or the
wherewith to discharge the liabilities will
never become sufficiently bulky. We
imagine the printer will have to get up and
address to his widely-scattered dollars,
something like the following: Dollars,
halves, quarters, dimes and all manner of
fractions into which you are divided, coli
lect yourselves and come home. You are
wanted Combinations of all sorts of men
that help to make the printer proprietor
gather in much force and demand with such
good reasons your appearance at this coun-
ter, that nothing short of you viii please
them. Collect yourselves, for valuable as
you are you will never pay the cost of col
lecting. Come here in single file, that the
printer may form you in battalion, and send
you forth again to battle for him and vindi-
cate his credit" Reader, are you sure you
haven't one of the printers dollars sticking
about your clothesg If you have, order it
home Immediately. Gazette.

since Colonel Winkler called on the

Of holding the State Convention. Surely
they might have been heard from long be-

is the duty Of the Chairman, in that case,
to act by himself. But he neither acts nor
deigns to give to the press any explanation
why he does not act. Is he afraid Of his

cratic party and its early organization, we
demand action and prompt action, or some

THK SAN ANTONIO HERALD AND
THE INTERNATIONAL BONDS.

The article in the San Antonio Herald Of
the eleventh, in relation to ''the Statesman,
the international Road and the Democratic
Convention, " must have been written before
seeing our article of the ninth inst. headed
''Lct us reason together" or it would not
have alluded to our silence in respect to its
review of our position, that the question of
the international Bonds should not go into
the Democratic Convention. In our arti-
Gle of the ninth, we went fully and candidly
into the question, and made our position
perfectly clear. We are emphatically OPP
posed to any action on the part Of the State
Convention, while the question is before
the courts and undetermined. But we
favor the adoption of a resolution,
that the State of Texas viii pay
all her legal liabilities, to put a
stop to any discussion about Reputation.
On this ground, the whole democracy Of
Texas can stand. If the courts say that the
International Bonds are legal obligation
on the part Of the State, then the demo-
cratic party will be in favor OF paying them.
This is going far enough, and we are un-
willing to go further. While the matter is
pending in the Courts, as it will be when
the Convention assemblies, for the case will
not be acted on by the Supreme Court until
next fall or winter, as we are informed, we
think it would be highly improper for the
democracy to declare that they would pay
or would not pay these bonds. The posi-
ton We have taken is the only safe one,
which the party can take, the only one on
which they can all unite. By demanding
more the Herald only Injuries the party with
out bene6ting the railroad prospects Of San
Antonio. But We viii rot here repeat what
we have more fully discussed in our former
article, to which we would call the atten.
ton of the Herald, as well as to late com
munication in the Statesman, signed, Ju
MUS, and written by one of the ablest and
truest democrats Of the State.

WE are glad to learn that our friend Of
the Lampasas Dispatch is not committed
against conventions, if found necessary to
prevent the election of radicals. He wishes
to guard against trickery and intrigue and
to get fair expression of the peoples will.
So do we. We join him heartily in this.
In view of all the circumstances, attending
the coming election, we deem conventions
indispensable to success, and therefore we
advocate them. Candidates for all the diff
ferent offices are springing up everywhere
and, unless there can be a concentration ofthe
democratic strength, we may have radicals
elected all over the State. Can the people,
after undergoing what they have from mis-
rule, afford to run such riskG Surely not.

Elsewhere we republish, from the Dallas,
Herald, communication on the subject of
Registration, signed ]. H. B. John Henry
Brown, we presume), to which we would
call the attention of every democratic voter,
who reads the Statesman. It seems that
many democrats in that section of the State
are complaining Of the great number of
times they have been required to register,
and Of the time and money spent on regis
tration. This has been.altogether the fault
Of the radicals, who, in the first place, made
registration anecessity, by requiring it in the
Constitution, and then imposed an unnec-
essarily large fee for the benefit
of the radical officials, and required
q new registration forevery special election.
The new registry law, which could not be
avoided under the present Constitution,
makes registration as cheap and easy as
possible, and It is the duty of every citizen,
having the right, to register and thus be
qualified to vote or hold Office. With uni
versal suffrage, there is no need Of any
registration in our judgment--it is s..trOuble
for nothing-but, until our present Consti-
tuition is changed or amended in this re
spect, it has to be done. Heretofore, es-
pecially in the Northern portions Of OuI
State, large numbers Of democrats have neg
lected to register and vote. Now let al
70 forward and be ready to exercise the no.
blest right Of freemen. This duty is i'm

SAD OccURRENcE.-On Monday the 9TH
inst, on the river San Marcos, three miles
below Prairie Lea, Miss Ophealia, daughter
of Mr.. Owen B. Hardeman, and a Miss
Stiles, were drowned while bathing.
The circumstances were as follows: Sew
eral ladies were enjoying the bath together,
when they concluded to pass down the
stream into deeper water, wading carefully
along until some saying they were far
enough, stopped. The two young ladies
mentioned, went further, thinking the ex-
pertinent q safe one as Miss Hardeman was
an excellent swimmer. So joining hands,
they proceeded on down the stream, not
aware OF increasing veolOcity and power
until, on the call Of their companions to
leone back they turned to do 90, but
finding the current 50 strong that they were
unable to breast il, cried out Eve cannot
come back r. and were carried backward by
its force until they sank to die.

reavement, and the sympathy we fell for

A word Of caution II Is 80 common for

OOLORADO TKRRTTORY.

From private letter to q gentleman in
Austin we are permitted to make the sub
Joined extract. The author Of the letter is
well and favorably known in our city. He
says;
81 am doing well in Georgetown, Colo
rado, which Is located on an elevation Of
nine thousand feet above the level of the
sea, in one Of the richest silver mining dis
tricts in the world, and one of the most
beautiful spots of the Rocky Mountains,
near Green Lake and the Garden of the
Gods better.known as the Switzerland of
America. So far as scenery is concerned, 1t
Is unsurpassed. The weather (July 81 Is
cool and invigorating. On the mountains
In view can be seen snow the year round.
Directly opposite to where / write are
Gny's and Argentine Peaks, IA, 900 feet
high, and two Of the highest peaks Of the
Rocky Mountains. Next to them is the
Devils Gate" which, for wildness Of
scenery, suEpasses the widest imagination. !"
The building Of 4 railroad from Austin up
the Colorado river to Santa Fe, New Mex
leo. and thence onward to the beautiful and
rich mining region, above described, is
only q question Of time. The natural out
lets Of New Mexico, Colcrado and Kansas
are the Gulf ports Of Texas-Galveston,
Indianola and Corpus Christi. We are al
ready connected with Galveston, and We
soon shall be with Indianola. Now & rail-
road from this point to the center Of Colo
rado would pass nearly all the way through
rich mining region, and would be the
cheapest and quickest conveyance for the
immense products Of the mines to the sea-
board. As that prince Of landlords. General
lIcMaclin, used to say, ''HurFy up the
cakes. Hand around the corn bread.
