Counting Disease.

The Individual may be said to court dis
ease who exposes himself 10 the miasmatic
influences which give rise to chills and fever
and other malailous epidemics and endem-
les, without previously fortifying his system
against their insidious attacks by the use of
a protective medicinal agent The hardest
constitution is by no means proof against
such maladies, much less one naturally
weak or bilious, or the antagonistic power
of which is lessened by an irregular habit OF
body. The Inhabitants of the bottom lands
of the south, of the new clearings of the west,
OF suburban districts where sunken lots ex-
list, of every locality of the American contl-
nent In fact, where malaria is epidemic OF
sporadic, declare that the only true antidote
to the miasinatic virus that they have ever
used is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. There
seemsto be something peculiarly resistant
In this standard preventive and remedy 10
~ hurtful atmospheric infiueuces.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-11-07

OUR dispatches ofyesterday stated
that there had been collision at Eu-
faula, Alabama. The following is the
fullest Information we have been able
to gather about 1t:
The disturbance was quite sanguin-
AIRY; six whites wounded, one of them
William Keith MORALLY; three ne
groes killed outright, and as far as
heard from seventy We're wounded,
ten or fifteen of the number MORALLY.
Since the fight five have died. and
three or four more will die during the
night. The difficulty arose out of the
abuse OF q negro who had voted the
democratic ticket by several radical ne
groes, among whom was one very bad
negro, named Miles Long.
Several whites rushed up when they
saw abuse being heaped on the demo-
cratic negro, and when he received
several blows they rushed in aud or
dered the mob to desist. Miles Long
offered to draw pistol on one of the
whites, when he was told not to draw
weapon there, or he would be killed.
With an oath against the whites, and
daring them to come OH, he drew his
pistol and fired.
In an instant a general fire from
whites and blacks commenced. The
latter stood for a second or two, and
then gave way In one of the widest
stampedes ever witnessed on our
streets.

nor His career M governor was short
but brilliant. He was removed on the
ground that he was IN "impcdlment
To reconstruction In Texas. Under
his administration Texas, 80 lately
emerged fiom the scenes of the war,
began TO build up her waste places and
repair her shattered fortunes. The
judiciary was recognized; taXeslevied;
the public debt largely decreased |;
wholesome laws enacted the ne
gro, fresh from the bonds of
slavery, was invested by law
with all the rights and privi-
leges of the white man, and the state
once more placed on the road to pros
perity. But this state of affairs was
not to last long. rheradicals who had
heen defeated for Office clamored
loudly for the removal of Throckmor-
ton, aud General =, II. Sheridan is
sued his order removing him, and APP
pointing II, Nj. pease in his stead.
Upon retiring from Office Governor
lhrockmorton issued an address to
the people of Texas, reviewing his adj
ministration, and stating the causes
leading to his removal. This address
to the people as he gave up the office
to which they had elected him, In ODE
dience to the order of the military
officer commanding the district, will
live in the history Of Texas, rs the
ablest vindication of her people from
the wrongs of military oppression ever
published. 1t is u scuthing rebuke of
the course pursued by General Sheri-
dan, and at the same time breathes the
spirit oftrue patriotism and submission
TO the laws of the land.
Besides his eminent service as a pub
lie officer, Governor Throckmorton
has been an earnest worker In the
cause of internal Improvement in our
state, and to his untirng labors we are
indebted for much Of the prosperity
we enjoy to-day.
Well may we congratulate ourselves
on the rejection OF man of such I'M
doubted honesty and splendid ability
to represent our district in congress.
