HAD this Kellogg usuTpation been at
tempted in Ohio, Him OILS or Michigan, it
would not have been {, llerated one day BY
the people of either State nor could all the
army and navy of the Uilited States have
induced or compelled them to submit to
such an atrocious despotikm and fraud.
What has taken place In Louisiana twenty
months after the crime was fist committed
would have taken place on the instant, and
no Federal troops nor executive proclamar
tions would have been interposed or could
have availed to restrain the outraged peo-
pie from hurting the usurpers from their
places. The President long since was fully
satisfied that he committed an error in re-
cognizing Kellogg, and employing Federal
troops to put him in power. He has more
than once appealed to Congress to relieve
him of the consequences of such an act
The responsibility is now upon him. If he
is to do anything more than issue his pro-
clamation, we hope he will put military
officer IN executive command, and hold the
State in that condition until Congress shall
meet and perform its long-neglected duty

We have had an interview with Major G.
8. West, who Is tie manager for The owners
Of the Austin Fair Grounds, and from him
We learn the following facts:
The Lee tract, containing ESQ acres, was
purchased and Is now owned by the Hon.
JOhn Ireland, George Hancock. LOOMS &
Christian, Minus Long, G. ". Whitis, G. B.
Zimpelman, Hon. John Hancock and c. s.
West. onethird interest In the property Is
owned By MesIn. Hancock q West.
In the purchase and Improvement Of the
grounds the above named parties have ex-
pended $4,000. In order to ft the grounds
up properly for Fair that viii be credit 20
our State. Il wiz require an expenditure Of
$4,000 or $eO,O 900 more, for the erection Of
suitable buildings, and for trottlng and racing
tracks, show rings ETC. II the citizens win raise
in cash 416,OOO the owners win add 5000
more, making an expenditure on their part Of
go, 900 gold, against $4,000
What Il needed e q regular association.
The owners Of the Fair Grounds, Major
West says, win meet our citizens half way In
this enterprise. If an association Is formed
they win lease the grounds for term OF gears
and take their pay in stock, or they win have
the properly valued and sell il at the fGlrest
rates to the association, and take considera-
bic part Of The purchase money in the stock
Of the association, or If the citizens win put
up 415, 900 worth Of improvements, the pres
ent owners viii add 5000 more, and repay
the amount expended by the citizens and be-
come owners Of the improvements at the lapse
Of I'VE years, or such period as they may
agree on.
From what he says, the association Major
West represents want . fair held and win give
every aid they can TO such an enterprise. II
does Sesm that among all the merchants,
mechanics and farmers in the county the nee
essary amount can Be raised. Tho benefits
resulting from the annual fair would in five
years more than pay it all back. Certainly the
proposition on the part Of the owners of the
Fair Grounds b fair one. but II 1t is objected
TO, the msnsgeEs are ready TO receive pro
position.
II Mayor Wheeler and dozen more of oul
live citizens win take hold of this subiec
with win and put their shoulders to Tho
wheel, Il win succeed. As 1t is, Dallas, Waco
Jefferson, Housiou, BRENNAN, Gonzales, sar
Antonio and even salado surpass Austin
They spend thousands while we viii no
spend dollar.

THE anniversary Of the independence Of
the Republic Of Mexico was celebrated on
the fifteenth and sixteenth by the Mexican
citizens of Austin, In q manner which reflects
much credit on them as adopted citizens Of
the United States. The celebration was con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Juarez
Society, consisting of q mass meeting Of
Msxicans and Americans, in the southwest
part Of the city, where speeches were made in
the CastIlian language by Messrs. Casas,
Lopez, Fischer and others, recommending
the union Of all Mexican citizens Of the State
Of Texas, in order to improve their mental
and moral condition, the establishment Of
free schools for the education Of the Mexican
youth, ETC., and suggesting industry, sObriety,
and good behavior Is the only means Of &C.
complaining these aims.
IN the evening Of each day, dance was
given, In which many Americans participated,
much TO their enjoyment Everything passed
on quietly. There was no quaTeIing OF
lighting, and the best Of order was maintained
on the dancing floor by the manager-Mr.
Fischer. The members Of the "Juarez So
ciety" deserve much credit for the efforts they
have already put forthto elevate the condition
Of their fellowoountrymen who are not wei
enough educated to thoroughly understand
laws and customs Of this country, and an
consequently unable to rise shove the status
Of their brothon In Mexico, who have not thu
benefit Of enlightened legislation aud educa
tional facilities. They deserve encourage
ment from our cssizens

HoN. JOHN HANCOCK visited our place
last Wednesday, and made one Of his best
speeches that night. There has been some
little disafection by some Of our soreheads.
A few had gone so far as 10 say they would
not vote for him. he had fine audience,
and spoke lengthily upon the various ques-
tions In which he had taken part. He
reve a full and detailed account Of the
omnibus bill aud explained his connection
With that affair. We have talked freely
with many who had felt dissatisfaction Of
Judge Hancock's vote on that question and
we can truthfuIly say, that all who heard
him speak were satisfied with his account
of it. We are glad Of his visit and can assure
our friends in other counties that Hancock
will get q united vote in this section, and
that no hopes need be entertained By Radi-
Gals or soreheaded, so-called Democrats 81

CU1.rTvATR TIE SoH.-People who would

try. II those who own the land do not put

are r,oor and have no land, then they are GER

A SECOND CRoP OF MULBERRHs-Ag gen.
