Yours Respectfully

Galusia County, f.. Florida.


The foregoing letter was handed us
yesterday by tho Sheriff, with the re-
quest that we answer 1t, We have de-
cided to do so, seratim, and in man
mer which we trust will be entirely
ineligible to our friend in the land OF
flowers. The geographical history OF
Texas is big one. 1t is bounded by
the Rio Grande river on one side, Red
river on another, and the Gulf of
Mexico on another, and by reference
to u school atlas it will be seen to
occupy a big green spacc in the souths
east corner of the diagram, The
country is healthy, water good and
land excellent, but we can't say how
much corn twill produce pei "AcHER," :"
We don't measlsfe land that way in
Texas. We suspect that good many
aches, in the small of the back, are
experienced in the course of IL year by
those who make extra good crops.
Timber is plenty IN saWp places; IN
Others "taint thar For sheep, cattle
and horses the range is magnificent,
as amy school book on the subject of
Texas will certify. We don't know
whatlandcan be bought forper 'acher"
don't sell it by that measure either.
We have ailroads-mdeed we have,
for instance, Il road from here to Gal
weston, another to st. Louis, another
to Brooklyn, and one commenced to
Fort Worth, and one commenced to
Wichita, andanother to be commenced
to Laredo, and one ditto 10 Springfield,
and another ditto to New Orleans, and
on the map about three hundred and
sixty-five lines representing intended
lines, all centcring at Dallas.
AS for steamboats,, we have not done
u very big business in that line lately,
but the Trinity river Is here and is
bank full, waiting and ready for the
Great Eastern. The most public place
in this city is Fendley & Miller's, just
under the court room, and in that place
where justice smiles when its hand
some physiognomy isrehected from the
mirror behind the bar. The county
don't "cite' much just now, nearly all
the fellows have run off that it had its
eye on. Wehav'nt got u "llourt house."
but we beat the world for keno. As for
our population, it is variously estimat-
cd, probably 5000 in the city, and
double that number in the county. The
best sway bill " we can suggest is 500
U. S. notes. When you get to Gal
weston you can "git" on the cars and
"git up and git" and if the fool killer
don't tackle you in Corsicana, the prob
abilities are that you may reach Dallas
by due course of mail There is no
such thingas agood old "sitisan" in this
place, so the sheriff requested us to fill
the that demand as he thought you
might have meant an editor We
don't know what % 'phesian" Is, but
suspect you could do athrivicg business
at your profession. If it doesn't pay
however, some of your other trades
might stand you in hand" and be
ne means of your subsisting in this
State-and with this, "Our talk is done,
our song is sung" etc.

THE lightning, Monday, struck a
drove of sheep, numbering over two
hundred, ON the outskirts of this city,
and killed fifty of them. The owner
had the rim of his hat torn off and a
finger paralyzed by the subtle essence.

Novel Dedication OF New Conrt- house
CULPEPER, VIRGINIA,
December 16, 1878.

10 tie Editor Of NE National RepuJlfcon:
Sir-It is my pleasant duty to report to
you an interesting occasion in the history
of our county. Our able and energetic
supervisors, headed by Major Thomas b.
Male, have just completed fine new
courthouse, and court has been held In it
several terms. Last Monday, which was
our regular monthly court, large crowd
was in attendance. That sober and erudite
Judge, John w. Bell, was about to take his
seat when he was addressed--by whom? not
one Of the learned attorneys who are wont
to make motions and file exceptions-butb by
whom? Why, a poor, unlearned and meek.
looking colored man, aged at least ''three-
4. score and ten,' who simply askedif the new
prayer.n Everybody was surprised, and
when the Anticipated darby asked permis-
sion to make prayer the judge very kindly
granted it, and the novel scene of poor,
humble, illiterate colored man offering up an
earnest prayer in such q place, and on such
an occasion, was witnessed with breathless
and respectful attention. Lawyers bowed
down upon their knees, and in fact all
present seemed to be visibly affected by
this novel exhibition of religious devo-
ton by the good old olored man, Ben jack
son." who is resident of Mtchell's sta
ton, Culpeper county, Virginia. Judge
Thomas r. Rixey will now feel that it
is incumbent upon him to appoint chap
lain since Judge Bell has colored chaplain
ii the person Of pious benjamin"
Whether the judge will appoint from the
white or colored race is question yet to be
determined. The public here will patient
ly wait the action of Judge Rixey in this
matter. As this case totally eclipses the
late 'ciyil rights or equality convention,
recently held in Washington, when Pinch
back had headache. and Charles Sumner
thought he could do more in the Senate
than by making speech, as requested, be-
fore the said equality convention, thought
it best to ask you to publish this, as being
an important event in the progressive histo-
ry of our beloved country.
Yours, &C., MOUNT JOY.

President Grants Ancestral Record.

NrSsAusmt UrAnt'S ancestral RECORD.
A Hartford paper says that Mr.. Heath;
Of that city, has ''recently been engaged in
hunting up President Grants ancestral re-
cord tracing it back to Matthew Grant, who
came from England in the ship Mary and
John, to Dorchester, Mass, in 1880. Mr..
Heath has written the record from that time
until the present in the most elaborate man
ner, with fac steel pen, and is soon to
place it, handsomely framed upon exhibi-
ton in the Capitol at Washington. Mr..
Heath traces the Presidents ancestry
from 1880 as follows: Matthew Grant
removed to Connecticut in 1880, and
with others formed the Windsor colony
in 1851. He died there in 1851. Matthew
married, in 1852, Priscilla, whose family
name is not given. From Matthew the
succession is traced through Samuel, his
son. Samuel, jr., Noah, first, second, and
third, to Jesse Root Grant, Of Pennsylya-
mia, who removed to Ohio in his youth.
where he married, in 1921, Hannah Simp-
SON. His eldest son, Ulysses s. Grant,
was born April ~, 1922, at Point Pleasant,
Claremont county. To show that General
Grant belongs to military family, it may
be said that his great-grand-father, Captain
Noah, second, served in the expedition
against Crown Point, in the year 1855, and
he was killed there The Presidents grand
father, Noah, third, served with distinction
in the Revolutionary war, among the vol.
unteers from Connecticut, and in 1887 be
removed to Pennsylvania. o .e 20 a.s- Z

IMPORTANT RAILROAD PURCHASE

IMPORTANT RAILROAD PURCHASE.
II IS authoritatively announced that the
Pennsylvania railroad company has pur-
chased from the Southern Railway Sc
curlty Company" its interest in the Attain
to and Richmond airline railroad. The
sum paid, it is understood, is one million
eight hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars. Many of the capitalists interested
in the Security company it is known, are
also concerned in the Pennsylvania rail-
road, and it is presumed this transfer is
made to more satisfactorily work the con-
nection with the Richmond and Danville
and Baltimore and Potomac and other lines
under control of the Pennsylvania road. -
