An Act to prevent sheriffs and other persons
from paying over to q. w. Honey or A
Bledsoe, or to any person for them any
money or public funds.
SECTION l. Be it enacted by the Legislature
of the state of Texas, That it shall be unlaw
full for any sheriff of this State or other per
sons, to pay over to G. W. Honey or A. Bled
soc, or 10 any person for them, any money OF
funds belonging to the state of Texas or any
county thereof. That any sheriff or othel
person violating the provisions of this act
shall be deemed and held guilty of felony
and upon conviction by n court of competent
jurisdiction, of violation of the provision,
of the first section of this act, Alall be con
fined in the penitentiary for term OF tvs
years That this act be in force from and af
ter Its passage. Approved January 10, 1874.
BY the above law, it will be seen that
if any sheriff of this State pays over
public money to the late State Treas
urer, he will stand very fair chance
of serving two years'in the State peni-
Tertiary. Another law provides a SIM
liar punishment for Comptroller Bled-
soc and Treasurer Honey, if they pay
out any of the money now in their
hands without authority oflaw.
Comptroller Bledsoe, we understand,
has been in no wise mixed up with the
late conspiracy, but has held himself
ready to turn his Office over to his
elected successor, Colonel Stephen IL.
Borden, whenever proper to do so.
We are glad to hear this, because Mr..
Bledsoe is an old citizen of Dallas
county, and we have atno time thought
he would permit his name to be asso-
ciated with the treacherous knaves
who have sought to engulph Texas in
a sea of fraternal blood.

EVERY man occupying seat as Dis
trict Judge in this State, by virtue o.
an appointment from the late bayonet'
elected Governor, mister edmund J.
davis, of Corpus Christi, if he has any
respect for himself or public opinion
will send his resignation at once to
Governor Coke. They all know they
were appointed by tyrant and las
now fully proved cold blooded traitor
to liberty, and no one of them can eS-
pect the respect of honest men unless
he resigns and allows Coke, the peo-
pleis Governor, to make a new APP
pointment. Should they do so, we say
now that we would advise Governor
Coke to re-appoint eight or ten OF
them, whose names we mentioned a
few days since. Send in your names
or expect to be regarded as contempti-
BILE interlopers where you are not want
ed. Remember, gentlemen, the sun
has risen.

WE advise Judges Odgen, Walker
and McAdoo to migrate to the Ala
crane Island, banks of Campeachy,
gulf of Mexico. Alacrane means scor-
pion, but they will find, by reading
Admiral Semmes' "Service Afloat,"
that it is a small island with album
dance of fish, oysters and shrimps,
without a human being to be mon
arch of all he surveys. 1t is rare
opening for three men who have lived
to reach the status now occupied by
those three defunct officials. The ar
rows of Indignation cannot reach them
ON that modest and retired spot; and
it is possible that hermit life thereon
for ninety or hundred years might
purge them of the carbunculated ex-
crescences now gnawing at their vitals.

In Duilns most under the roof Of the

county, within u mile Of where the
Mckinney Enquirer Is published
thence he passed west to Wcatherlord,
and finally shipped from Galveston to
Liverpool, where he was received and
honorcd Us u distinguished political
exile.
Since then nine long years have
passed, in which General Wigiall has
ranked rs u lawyer of eminencc before

down us II lawyer in Baltimore. In all
these nine long years, he has remained
silent on all matters political in the
United States, He has neither sought
self interest by coquetting with those
in power, nor sought notorety by
thrusting his views on the people o
the South; on the contrary, he has
maintained u dignified and modest de
pertinent, crowned by the virtue of un
broken silence.
Nine years have passcd-one-thirt

from Baltimore to Galveston, and oil
such an occasion, after this long peri
cd of silence and reflection, he is con
fronted by the Mckinney Enquirer

with the remark above: 1--WE are no
one who believes that the counsel O
such men is good in times like tn
present."
We have seen no intimation tina
General Wigfall, now or heretofor
since the war, has sought or desired t
offer counsel to our people, and henc
we feel that our friend has given
cool and unmerited thrust at ma
who, whatever may have been his eS
cessive zeal in youth, has just clair
to respect for his high, dignified retire
ment and absolute silence since tn
war.

MISCELLANEOUS.

RICHMOND, Va, January ga jury
has been obtained and the case opened
in the duelling case which occurred
last May, in which one of the primer
pals was killed and the other seriously
wounded. The survivor, McCartyr
still suffers from his wound, and moves
about on crutches. Much interest pre-
walls, both principals being highly
connected. The court room is crowded
BUFFALO, n. V, January 22.-Warm
weather and high water caused the ice
in Buffalo river to move about IL
o'clock this morning, piling it up in
such force against the bridge on Ohio
street as to carry away that strong
structure, in its course sweeping ten
first-class vessels down the stream,
piling them in one mass against the
Michigan street bridge.
The bowsprits of the vessels, in their
rapid course, carried away the lower
part of Plympton's elevator and in
fiicted serious damage to the City and
Niagara elevators and completely de-
molished the sheds of the New York
Central Railroad company. The loss
is estimated at 81, 00O, 900. The damage
to Plympton's elevator is S2O,OOO.
The Michigan street bridge still holds
the accumulated mass, but should it
give way there is no calculating the
damage to. vessels and property below.
The water is now OVERLOOKING the
banks and running into the lake
through Hamberg canal. The greatest
excitement prevails.

o. KALI QUIET ON THE COLORA.

We are enabled to announce, without
evasion or mental reservation, and we
do so with pleasure which language
cannot express, that Ex-Governor Da-
Wis, Newcomb, eX-Secretary Of State;
DeGroos, eX-Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and all the other ex-State
officers, have vacated, retired and
yielded up their positions to the newly
elected sof1icers. Messrs. Bledsoe and
Kueehler, it seems, have been ready to
do so all the time. Governor Coke is
in actual possession. The agony is
over and not drop of blood shed.
Peace sheds its beneficient rays on the
hills and valleys of the Colorado.
Victorious at all points in asserting
their rights, the people, while rejoic-
ing, can afford to be generous towards
the misguided rank and file of the OPP
position. AS to the chief instigators,
we must have time to cool.

PAINFUL REFLECTIONS.

John d. McAdoo, one of the three
Supreme Judges of Texas who rem
dered the late perjured decision of that
court to destroy liberty in Texas, and
inaugurate the reign of terror, blood
carnage and assassination, has resigned
the seat Which he has disgraced. But
not wholly lost to common sense, moi
to say virtue, he has had the decency
to tender his resignation to Richard
Coke, Governor of Texas. God being
our Judge, we felt kindly towards John
d. McAdoo-we almost loved him-we
sympathized with him, and when the
late conspiracy was brought to light, anc
the manufactured Rodriguez case array
ed before the Supreme Court, we woulc
have risked life on the belief that John
d. McAdoo, as one of the Supreme
Judges, would have stamped the infa'
NOUS case into the bottomless pit
That was precisely what we thought o.
McAdoo as man. He never had Q
truer or more diSinterested frlenu tnaI
he who writes this paragraph-he
whose tears flow as he writes. Pool
McAdoo! how could you belle the in.
stincts of your nature and the dictates
of your conscience by joining with
Walker and Ogden in their treason
against honor, liberty and human
rights? How could you, John d. McA-
doc, do it? Under what hallucination
could you thrust from you all the in
SEPARATIONS of virtue-ignore the holy
teachings of your dear old Tennessee
mother-and launch your soul, forweal
or woe, in the vortex of political dam
nation, with Ogden and Walker? How
could you so deceive your best and
truest friends? "

OUR old-time friend of 1876, Mr.. John
ID. Logan, has retired from the San
Antonio Herald, paper founded by
him about eighteenyears ago. Colonel
James r. Sweet succeeds him-not
Colonel George HI. Sweet, of the Texas
New Yorker, who was in the Herald
in former years. Mr.. Logan for sew
eral years published the Frontier Wing,
at Van Buren,, Arkansas, but in 1916
started the Advocate at Victoria, Texas.
He has ever pursued an honorable
course as a journalist and now, in
feeble health, retires to enjoy the fruits
of his laborious career, where we trust
he may have peace and happiness.

GENERAL LOUIS t. wIGrALL

Louis T. Wigfall arrived in Galveston a few
DAYS since. We are not one who believes
that the counsel of such men Is goodln ZINES
Z like the present.-lMcKinney Enquirer.
The Mckinney Enquirer is a sound
and consistent Democratic paper, and
belongs to that element in the party
which was represented in the Confed-
crate army during the war. So know
ing, we confess to feeling of aston
ishment at the atove brief paragraph
from that paper. Why should our es-
teemed friend of the Enquirer take
such an occasion to strike a fallen
friend under the fifth rib? Is it manly
or is it just? Louis 7. Wigfall was a
true and devoted Confederate from the
beginning to the end of the war. In
its most trying period, Texas made
him one of her Senators in the Confed-
crate Congress. There he was when
the war closed. Up to that time he
was honored as true and brave man,
though by many regarded as too rash
and extreme in his views of polit-
ical right and wrong. This lat
ter characteristic, however, he had
to bear from utterances in his younger
DAYS, dating back chiefly to his youth
full speeches in 1913, when he had OPP
posed the too moderate position of
General Sam Houston in voting for the
Wilmot proviso in the Oregon bill.
The mere fact that Wigfall, young
man, dared to dispute the position Of
the venerable hero of San Jacinto, on
a political issue, was sufficient at that
day to stamp him, in the minds OF
many, as a rash and fiery Hotspur.
But afterwards he rose above that
prejudice, and as a Senator in the Leg
islature, then as Senator of the
United States, and lastly as Senator
from Texas in the Confederate Con-
gress, he outlived the older prejudices
and stamped his impress on the great
events transpiring in the country as a
man of learning, genius and great in
dependence. There he stood when the
war closed-admired by the South
detested by the North.
To avoid the vengeance of the North
he passed in disguise from Richmond
to Texas-moved for months from
place to place, while military blood

On Tuesday last, Mr.. Bradshaw, SEN
ator from this district, offered resolu-
ton requiring the committee on Pub
lie Debt to report the amount of the
present debt of the State, together with
the amount of dd uaIorem taxes that
will be necessary to defray the legiti-
mate expenses of the government, and
to create sinking fund to pay the
debt and interest, which was referred
to the appropriate COMMITTEES. Mr..
Bradshaw said:
Mr.. Presldent-My object in introducing
the resolution is vita view to having n law
enacted reducing the taxes; and, before we
can enact such law. we must know the
amount of our debt. l also desire sSid COM
mittee to ascertain the nd valorem tax nee
essary for the legitimate expenses OF the gov,
eminent, and that we add small
additional tax to this as SINKING
fund to pay Off said indebtedness. l de-
sire said law so enacted to require the
collector to specify in the tax receipts the
amount of taxes paid for the legitimate Cd.
jects ofthe government, ana also tne aiilou IN
paid for corporate interests. In fact, let the
lax receipt advise every taxpayer the amount
and for what purposes he Is being taxed.
myself, am in favor OF taxing the people loi
the legitimate objects of the government ana
no other, believing that it is not the object OF
duty of the government to build up private
corporate interests. l hold she has no rlgh'
to tax the people for that purpose.
This is move in the right direction,
and we are gratified to see it made thus
early in the session, and by our imme'
diate senator. We may add here, that
from the action of Mr.. Bradshaw al,
ready, we predict that he will make al,
industrious and useful member.
