the most prominent, to make all the yarious

being made. It was pointed by Col. Gil
lespie. an old Bohemian officer, who had
served in different armies with very indif-
ferent success, but was thought TO DO equal
to the occasion, being known to hayc some
pluck. At safe distance, as was supposed,
General Alexander stood to give the word Of
command, and little Jimmy Neweomb, as
chief gunner, was appointed to apply the
match. The word was given, the torch APP
piled, and, about 8 o'clock, ateir.ble expso-
sion was heard, which frightened the
timed women and children Of our
city, who thought the Shot Tower
had been converted into powdernlagazine
and had blown up. On Fastening to the vi
einity, the Democracy, not at all hurt. be-
held a most heart rending spectacle. Near
the hind end Of the gun lay Newcomb and
Gillespie, as black as negroes, without any
appearance Of life though no blood OF
wounds could be discovered. In the dis
lance, General Alexander was found. fat on
his back, with his face turned upward to
the starry heights of the Shot Tower, black
as the ace OF spades, and sad to tell, his
scalp totally gone, not a stray hair being
left for seed and new crop. The scene
was fearful to behold, and some kind hearted
Democrats wept outright. It seems the
gun was very foul and when little Jimmy,
with trembling hand applied the match,
the whole charge went backward, blowing
out the touchhole and spreading ruin and
dismay in the rear, but doing not the
slightest harm in front The friends
of the parties, blown over but not up
soon gathered around to afford all the as
sistance possible Among the first to reach
this scene of horror was the warm-hearted
Vice President os the International Rail
road, who Immediately proceeded to
examine the apparently lifeless bodies of
Alexander, Gillespie and Newcomb. His
manner of treatment was peculiar. After
whispering in their ears, he applied his med
icine to the pockets instead Of mouths Of
his patients, when, strange to relate, they
all sprung up as strong and lively as ever,
but looking even blacker than before, and
it is believed they will so remain to their
dying day. The Democracy present, on
seeing this happy termination of the mat
ter, went away with cheerful hearts and
smiling faces, leaving DR.. Barnes in charge
Of the Radical hospital.

for Governor and Lieutenant Governor are
to be kept sealed in the Office Of the Score

turns Of the other State officers may be
opened in the presence Of the Governor and
Attorney General, but Of these duplicates
will be kept in the Offices of the district
clerks, and any attempts at false counting
or throwing out OF votes may be detected.
The returns for members Of the Legislature
will be ascertained by the presiding justice
of the district, and the Governor and Score
tary Of State will have nothing to do with
the counting. The only chance for rascal
ity, in the way Of throwing out votes and
miscounting, is with the judges of the cleo
ton in the respective counties. There may
be some danger Of this in the counties
where the Radicals have control, but the
law requires the counting to be done in the
presence Of two registered voters Of differ
ent politics, so that fraud is guarded against
as well as possible. The scheme of frand
and iniquity, foreshadowed by the Journal,
will be hard to execute to any great extent.

mn. JOSEPH F. BROWN.

The late convention at Burnet, which met
to make legislative nominations for this
Senatorial District, as is already known, re-
nominated DR.. Westfall, Col. Easley and
Mr.. Smith. These gentlemen were placed
before the people by the first convention,
and have already been discussed in the pub
lie prints. They are all looked upon as
sound and trusty Democrats, patriots and
gentlemen, and viii FIJI their places in the
next Legislature with credit to themselves,
and the advantage Of their constituency.
Mr.. Joseph F. Brown, Of San Saba, is the
only new man placed before US by the late
convention, and we are glad to say that by
dissemination confidence has been restored,
and harmony universally secured throughout
the district The nomination Of Mr..
Brown has truly, been most happy one,
and coming before us, as he does, the I'M
doubted representative Of the frontier, he
brings to the ticket the undivided support
Of all parts Of the district. Mr. Brown is
about thirty-avc or forty years old. He was
raised at Prairie Lea, in Caldwell county,
where his father, DR.. D. F. Brown, was
universally looked upon as one Of the best
aud most worthy citizens of the State.
DR.. Brown was fast friend Of the from
tier at an early day, and showed his interest
in it by investing his means in lands upon
the border. using every eAvI ItOH 10 develop
IS RESOURCES. Mr. Brown, the nominee,
moved to this county some twelve or thir-
teen years ago and settled place about ten
miles above Austin, where he remained but
a short time, when he moved to the section
where he is now living. He has shared the
periIs Of the frontier, and grown up with it,
has large interest there and viii be true to
it. Besides being q business man Of much
energy and ability he is a refined and edu-
Gated gentleman and o man Of enlarged
views and advanced ideas. We predict that
Mr.. Brown will win an enviable reputation
as a member Of the next Legislature.

mn. FELIX +. SMITH.

The above named gentleman is the Travis
county candidate for the Legislature. He
was nominated by both of the Burnett con-
ventions, and has been accepted as most
proper man to I'll a place on our district
ticket. Mr. Smith was born in Lincoln
county, Tennessee, in 1881, and emigrated
to this State and settled in Travis county IN
1851, where he has filed a highly respecta-
bic station in society up to this time. Mr..
Smith has filed several positions Of trust,
always giving every assurance that he was a
faithful and dilligent guardian Of the poo
Piles rights. In 1858 he was elected justice
Of the peace, which Office he filed with
credit to himself until the breaking out Of
the war. In 1856 he was elected as the
Democratic candidate against the Know
Nothing nominee, one Of the county COM
missioners. This Office he also filed until
he entered the army. He entered the army
as first lieutenant in Capt. Carrington's COM
pany, and served under Col. Ford.
After the war, during the Throckmorton
administration, heiwas appointed one ofth
notaries public for this county, from which
position he was removed to give place to
the military reconstruction OF the State
AIr. Smith Is one Of our most substantial
farmers, and a gentleman Of the most siirl-
ing worth and integrity. He is universally
popular, and win bs elected by large ma
jority. oncoln the Legislature he viii make
q true representative Of the people. and
they may count on his well considered vote
onall questions coming before that body.

bulwark of the honor and interest of the
people of Texas. State Journal
If so, we are gone past deliverance. We
should all be on our knees praying. The
bulwark is not worth straw-it is weaker
than chaff; it is lighter than the dust of the
air. If the "honor and interest of the peo-
pie of Texas" depend on the man who de-
clared martial law and pillaged the counties
of Hill and Limestone, who issued the cleo
ton proclamation forbidding the people to
sneer orma1e any noise and to go straight
home as soon rs they had voted, who had
twenty special policemen appointed in each
county to keep them from voting any other
than the Radical ticket, who headed the
negroes in their grand march around the
Capitol, who let Davidson run off with
thousands Of the peoples money, who dis
graced himself and the State at Washing
ton, and who set free the savage murderers,
Satanta and Big Tree-then may heaven

WHAT sort of a nondeseript paper is the
North Terqs Enterprise, published at Bon
ham? With the Democratic flag atits mast
head, its last issue contains a caricaturc of
Col. Hubbard, the Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and whole column Of
low blackguardism about this noble cham
pion Of the Democracy. In fact, it is taking
every occasion to abuse and misrepresent
Democratic newspapers; the vile dirty
thing, sailing under false colors. Take
down the Democratic flag you disgrace it.
The Enterprise, we believe, was started as a
pretended neutral paper. Lately one of its
