NOT so.

A correspondent of the Galveston
News, from Austin, who writes over
the non dc plume Of "Cab, u has the
following to say in communication
which appeared in that paper on the
1st inst, to which we object, not only
because IL is without truth in fact, but
is calculated to misrepresent, In the
highest degree, the good people who
compose this city, and the esteem in
which the Hon. John Henry Brown Is
held by them:
at is reported in Austin that upon
the return of Major John Henry Brown
to his home in Dallas, and two days
after his sons death, he was "chlv-
ariedn and his house assaulted with
missiles of various descriptions. Also,
that Senators Pyle, BroughtOn and Cole
were feted, and iereed, and toasted, ana
called out, and also every mark OF
honor shown them. The Austinians do
not like this, and strong comments,
not very hattering to the three Sena-
tors, We're made, many claiming that
Brown deserved no such treatment,
while the others did. l have no opill-
ion of my own to express"
To deny the rumor which has OBJ
tanned in Austin, relative to the recep-
tion extended Major Brown on his re-
turn home, is all that is necessary TO
place both our people and their Repre-
sentative right before all the honest
men in the State, but there is some
thing more than u mere rumor con-
nected with this malicious assault upon
a gentleman and his fair name; it is an
insult intended to apply to our whole
people, whom the calumniator would
have the world believe nre not sufti-
ciently civilized to even respect the
dead. II is true that no ovation
was extended Major Brown when
he reached his home, because any such
demonstration on the part af hia CON
stituency at the time would have been
in bad taste on their part, and exceed
ingly disgusting to him. He reached
his home just in time to see his eldest
son fall asleep in death, and since then
deep grief has settled Hp9n his heart
and his household, and to be feted and
feasted under such circumstances is
something John Henry Brown neither
desires or wouldapprove. Of one thing,
however, we can speak advisedly, and
that is, the good services rendered by
Major Brown as q most faithful and
competent representative of this coun-
ty, No ope at all acquainted with the
labors performed by the last Legislature
but appreciates the important par, tax
en- by our representative in that body.
Always prompt and faithful, his clear
head and honest heart had as much to
do in correctly shaping and systematic
ing the chaotic debris left by the twelfth
Legislature, as any in the State. We
remember seeing something in
the Journal, which was as lit
orally false rs could be, In re-
gard to the rumored insults which
were extended Major Brown on his ar
rival home by the people of this city,
but as the announcement was made in a
Radical paper, we made no reply 10 H.
only In u general way in an article
which appeared in this paper on the
10th ult., but now that the base fabri-
cation has gone so far as to obtain ere
dence in Democratic circles we, can no
longer refrain from treating the sub
ject rs it deserves, and denounce the
author of the report as a lying calumni-
ator.
