Mr.. s. j. Buckley Is undoubtedly the
most distinguished geologlst In Texas
He Is known and recognized rs such
by the most scientific men and soclc-
ties In the United States. lie was APP
pointed state geologist by Governor
Throckmorton, and removed by the
military appointee, who superseded the
peoples governor He was the assist
ant OF the state geologist, Shumard,
before the war, and did most Of the
work which all somuch admired In the
geological rooms ut Austin before the
war. That che Is an able and accom-
plishcd geologlst, we have the best au-
thority for asserting including the
ablest body Ia Texas on such subjects.
The fling at Professor Buckley as to
being Il lobbyist Is as unjust as 1t Is
coarse. He applied to previous legis-
laturcs for his pay while he was state
geologlst under Governor Throckmor-
ton--no more--no less. Being poor
man, he wanted and stood in need of
what wax due him MS an officer of the
government. If that is crime, then
every merchant In Texas who seeks to
collect his debts is II criminal
AS we said Immediately on seeing
the announcement, Governor Coke has
done well in appointing Professor
Buckley state geologlsi.

EX-PREsIDENT WILLARD FILLMORE,
whose death was announced several
days ago, was born in Cayuga county,
New York, January Z, 1870, and was
consequently in the 73rd year of his
age at the time of his death. After
serving for u while at a mechanical
trade, he found the means of studying
law, and was finally admitted to prac
tice in 1923. OF his success at the bar
we know but little. 1t is likely that
his early entrance into political life in
terferred seriously with his pro fessiol.a al
duties. His first appearance in public
life was member of the house of rep
resentatives of New York in 1899. In
1888 he was elected to the house of rep
resentatives of the United States, but
retired at the end ofthe term. He was
again elected in 1887 and served six
consecutive years. In congress he was
noted as a faithful working member,
seldom participating in debates, and
then without taking very high stand
as parliamentary orator. In 1874, if
we mistake not, he was the wing can
didate for tho governorship of New
York, and was defeated by Silas
Wright. In lS47 he was eleoted CONN,

TIE legislature has passed, and, on
the llth of March, Governor Coke ap-
proved, alaw which provides for reg
istration Of voters in all Incorporated
towns and cities Of the state, where
not otherwise provided for. In Dallas,
in one sense, it was otherwise provided
for, but ~ our former county court dis
regarded the law and adopted course
to make confusion and doubt, it is best
for the city council at once, under this
new law, to order n new registration,
separate and district in each ward, so
that when election day comes, there
can be no mistake nor any ill-teclng.
We would have published the new
law this morning but from the fact that
we loaned our certified copy of ii to
Alderman Sterrett to be used by the
city council last night.
In Tuesdays HERALD we will give
the result of the city councils action on
the subject.

HOW HE WAS DISCHARGED FROM HIS
POSITION.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Sept. =, 1874.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: have just noticed in your paper of Sstur-
day that ". H. Brown was discharged from the
Washington navy yard as a Waterman for sleep
ing on his post. Please permit me to make the
following statement:
The night that was reported by Mr.. Crouch,
the reputed captain Of the watch, it was raining
as if heaven and earth we're coming together. 1
had been in my box fifteen minutes-the time
Captain Crosby made it-When I was hailed by
the Waterman on the outer beat, who told me the
captain of the watch said he did not see me when
he passed up. replied that had Just come to
my box. heard no more from him until Mr..
Okey came TO my house and told me the captain
wanted me at his office at $50 O'Clock the next
morning, that Mr.. Crouch had reported me. 1
reported, in obedience to orders, and much to my
surprise found that there were charges that
Captain S. r. Franklin would not notice, saying
he knew they were made against me on account
Ormy color. These charges were three years old.
Still was tried by them. The captain OF the
watch called on another Waterman at midnight
TO get him to make such q statement as was de-
sired as pretext to put a white man in my place.
This same Mr.. Crouch had said in a barber shop
on the Hill that he would work the black - Of
a out; that he wanted no id niggers on the
watch. This vigflant captain could report me for
being in my box fifteen minutes during storm,
while on a night when the moon was shining as
bright as day, between post No. 2 Of watchmen
and post No. Of marines, ton Of metal could be
stolen from the yard. now ask the question,
was MI. Crouch asleep or did he turn his back to
what was going ONT The truth of the matter is,
was the only cOlOred man in the United States
who held the position Of Waterman in the naval
service and 1 have had the combined powers Of
earth and hell to fight, not because am not the
equal Of the other Watchmen in every respect,
but because God has seen At to make me Of a
darker due. The investigation 1 had was like
trying the devil and holding council in hell. ]
have said the least could say: on some other &C.
easion 1 may pay my respects to Mr.. Crouch.

THEIR ANNUAL HOLIDAY.

THEIR ANNUAL HOLIDAY.
The Well-knoWn Turtle" club, Of South Wash
ington, devoted yesterday to their annual holt
day trip. For the past three years they have had
An excursion down the river with their families,
but this time they entirely reversed the order of
things by leaving the ladies and babies at home
and going up the river, Cabin John Bridge hotel
being the objective point. The party, eighteen
in number, started from the rendezvous at 9 a. m.
in comfortable eonyeyances, drawn by animals
that would make q good showing for speed in
Barnum's hippodrome, and in an hour they were
at the hotel.
Fishing was Of course the order Of business,
and within short time they had q mess Of bass
ufBcient for the table. Dinner was announced
At 3 O'Clock, and it was 8 dinner worthy Of the
ssTurtIes." and discussed as they know how to do
such things. After the cloth had been removed
uure water was brought in and the "hoW Of rea-
son" began. The first and only regular toast was
ssTruthfuI George, absent but not forgotten
This was drank standing and in silence and was
foIloyed by a number Of volunteer sentiments, to
each Of which q response in the shape Of song
story or speech was made. About $50 p. m a
Iartfng glass was filled, hands Joined, and "AuId
Lang Syne" sung with becoming spirit.
Then behind the fancy teams over the Conduit
road they had q race for home, the hrst one II
being Col. AIeek Clark, one of the veterans.
The entire day was q round Of quiet pleasure
and the Turtles and their few guests reached
home we'll satisfied.

DEAR SIRs: Your favor Of 10th inst. received
Having previously received from Mr.. Alexander
a COPY Of the newspaper containing his call for a

delphia and inspect the books and accounts him.
self holding myself ready to afford every infor
nation and happy to receive any suggestions as
to the administration Of the estate that he or any
of his friends might present. In reply, he in
formed me that II would not be convenient for

which inclOse in advance, have already filed

how much OF il has been realized IRON the assets
of the firm; how much from those Of the indi-
Vidual partners, and have nearly completed a
report embracing all the transactions which have
occurred during my admin stratiOn Of this estate
and Of the diff culties attendant thereon. The
greater portion Of this is already in pint, and
hope to have il printed in time to send copy e
each creditor before the meeting.
Under these circumstances l cannot seq what
MI Alexander can attain by any action on Mon
day OF this, however, he IS the best judge.
II will give me- at all times, pleasure, and
have invariably done it on application, to give e
every creditor all the information could as Z
