SUPPOSED ACCIDENTAL DEATH. The
following are the particulars of the
homicide cane referred to in the PHo,Erx
few days ago:
Trial Justice Thomas R. Brown. of
sh!s County. sent in to the city boy of
about twelve years of nge, named Green
Heathcock, Jr., charged with killing q
coiored boy on the 9th ultimo. about
twenty miles East of this city, on Mot
iey's plantation. near Garncr's Ferry.
Mr. Brown held an Inquest Oh the body
Of tho murdered boy, aud sent young
Hcathcock on here to Sheriff Dent for
safe keeping. Arrived in the city, his
father sued out writ of ha5eas corpus
before Judge Carpenter, on Tuesday
afternoon. From the fac.s, as testified
to his Honor. it appears that the killing
was accideutul und without MALICE. The
boy was liberated on 50, 500 bail, to an.
pear ut the May term of tho Court Of
General Sessions. The name Of the bow
Killed did not appear. George Heath
cock is au unoffendiug-looking youth,
and claims that he was cunning, when
the colored boy commenced fooling
with the nuzzle of his gun, when It
went of, with the fatal result stated.

DR SCHENCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases
OF the lungs are ScHENcK's PU1MoN1c
SYRUP. SCHEECK's 8 SEA WEED TONIC and
SCHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS; and, il
taken before the lungs are destroyed,
speedy cure is effected. To these three
medicines. DR.. J. Il. Schenck, OF Phila-
delphia. owes his unrivaled auccess in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonio Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
1t OIL by an easy expectoration; for when
the phlegm or matter is ripe, slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
10 enable the Pulmonio Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely nsed. to cleanse the stomach aud
liver. Schenok's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely. and tho liver is soon relieved.
Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the
food and prevents souripg. It assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, 80 that the food

PARIS, August 2l.-At Il meeting Of
the permanent committee Of the ma
tional assembly, to-day, NJ, CharibeAud,
late minister Of the interior, in reply
10 an inquiry by member of the left,
promised that Judicial proceedings in
relation TO the escape of Bazaine should
bevlgorously prosecuted.
Duke de Ca2es, minister of foreign
affairs, stated, In regard to the recogni-
ton Of Spain, that the government
was anxious to act IN accordance with
other powers, and would proceed In
unison with the British government,
which had communicated It's view on
the subject. No power had yet accom-
plished the net of recognition. The
delay Is caused by the question rs to
the exact form in which that step shall
be taken.
The members Of the extreme right
expressed disapproval Of the conduct
of Duke de Cazes, but n large majority
of the committee, including the repub-
lean members, sustained his course.
The German men-of-war Nautilus
and Albatr0ss sailed from Plymouth,
to-day, for Spain.

The Congressional Outlook.


We have since the congressional
race commenced maintained neutral
ground between the candidates from
Jefferson, because they were both able
men and personal friends. Now that
DR.. Clopton has retired from the race,
we have but one candidate from our
county, and we believe ii to be to the
interest of Jefferson to have the next
representative, hence we will advocate
the claims of Colonel Culberson, and
we are especially urged to this course,
because we believe that rs "a learned
lawyer, skillful debater andupright man
Colonel Culberson has no superior in
this section of the country and, If
elected, will make an earnest. faithful
representative. We have IN this dis
trict seventeen counties, with one hun
bred and siXty-four votes in the con-
ventiOn. Ii the two-thirds rule is
adopted, it will require one hundred
and nine votes to elect. As far Us
heard from the counties stand as fol-
lows; For Culberson--Bowie, Cass,
Delta, Titus, Hopkins, Hunt and Wood,
giving him Il vote of seventy-six. For
DeMorse-Red River, Fannin and
Rains, giving him vote of thirty-oDe.
For Lane-Harrison with ten votes.
There are conflicting opinions as to
how Gregg has gone; some say 1t has
instructed for Lane, while others
claim that IL gave no instructions. BE
that as it may, it has only four votes.
So with twelve counties heard from,
and out Of u vote Of one hundred and
twenty-One, Culberson has seveHty-six.

s,snension of Allen. Poole & Co.

An unlocked for embarrassment,
which it is confidently believed by
well informed business men, Will prove
but temporary, has caused the suspen-
sion of Messrs. Allen, Poole X Co.
1t seems that the firm have pur-
chased largely of stocks of cattle In the
interior during the past two years, and
relied upon their friends here and In
New Orleans to carry them until they
could have time to bring the beeves
into market and cancel their indebted
ness. Their friends in Texas stood up
to them as far rs they agreed to, but
from causes, rs yet unexplained, their
correspondents in New Orleans sus-
pended payments, and after this stls-
pension there was nothing lett for
Messrs. Allen, Poole d Co. but TO tenn
porary suspend also.
They called meeting of their credi-
tors and placed before them a state
ment of their assets and liabilities,
and we are authorized to state that nj
this meeting their assets were founi to
be over 0ne-half million dollars more
than their liabilities, and ofsuch a ma
ture as to he worth nearly cash, ili-
stead of the usual assets put In In
cases of failures. 1t Is, therefore, DEEM
ed u question of but lew days Tor
them to arrange an extension OF time
with their creditors aud to again re-
sumo business.
To these gratifying assurances from
the ACCESSIBLE sources of Information,
IL added the further statement that

Mr.. Allen II the largest cattle dealer
and cattle owner IN Tcxns, II seems
that this little affair OF IA Tight took
him rs much by surprise us II took his
friends. But they rejoice 10 know
That IN the sum OF his assets he has
two dollars 10 pay every one that he
owes. No doubt In very short time
he will look back upon this unex'
pected episode and wonder how Il
happened that, for once In his life, he

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has an article
In the Atlantic Monthly, inwhlch he
attributes all the fluctuations In prices

country, 10 the Illegal tender net, which

and oppression, lie says this act Is

that the customers OF the country,
since 1861, have paid The enormous tax
amounting to hundreds of millions,

while n comparatively few men have
grown enormously rich ut the expense
OF the masses.
He concludes by charging against
the legal tender act all the evils

said:

thousands who had the most conf
dence In II; enervated the trade, hus-
bandry and manufactures of our coun-

As Mr.. Atkinson Is northern man
there is some reason to hope his views
on the question prognosticate great
reform ut no distant day.

The Dallas Land Shit.

To the Editor OF the Dallas Herald:
Your paper of yesterday noticed the
fact that a suit had been instituted for
certain lands adjoining the city of Dali
las. AS considerable interests are i'll
volved, and no one scarcely seems TO
know anything OF the points Involved,
brief and plain statement of the facts
must be of interest to our people. l
have not farthing of interest in the
issue, but have feeling of interest In
the rights of our neighbors.
THE FACTS. Va.
John Grigsby, before migrating to
Texas had by his first wife seven chill
dren, viz: Crawford, Ruth Ann Mrs.
Bales Edens), John, Robert H., VIII
liam, Elizabeth Mrs. Marcus Z, Mead,
and James--seven. The first wife died,
leaving these children. The father
married q second time, and with this
wife and the seven children
aboye named, came TO Texas.
BY the second wife twp chill
dren were born,- viz: Daniel B.
and Emiline, making nine IN all.
John Grlsby obtained, rs his head
right league and labor, 1865 acres
the land ON which Dallas mainly
stands aud most of the suburban pro-
perty also. But before hisedeath he
conveyed to his son Crawford, as To-
cative interest, one thousand acres,
which covers nearly all Of Dallas which
is not on the Bryan survey. He also
conveyed to another party 1881 acres
now owned by Eakins, Snodgrass and
Others. Also 900 acres in the extreme
east corner of the league-in all, 1881
acres, disposed Of by the original pat
entee in his life, leaving to his heirs at

lands divided among the nine heirs
named, by commissioners duly sworn,
