Gov. Throckmorton and is an cstimable
physician, and gentleman in every re-
spect.
SAN ANTONIO, April 10 A number of
Indians are reported to have been seen on
the seth u!timo in the vicinity of Colson's
Rancho, on the Coperas, and at Moore's,
on Bear creek. At the latter place they
drove off all che horses, after a skirmish
with the herders, in which one Indian
was killed.
On the 31st ultimo, twenty-six Indians
surprised Mr.. Mann's camp, few miles
from Rigley, on the San Saba, and drove
of his horses.
A heavy frost this morning, vegetable
gardens ruined, and it is feared the corn
and cotton crops will have to be replanted.
Fruit is also thought to have suffered.
The county Jail was destroyed by fire
about two O'Clock this morning. Several
prisoners were confined therein, but all
escaped, with the exception of Mexican,
whose name is unknown, and who was
burned to death. The fire is thought to
have been the work OF an incendiary.
THE STAGE ROBBERY FURTHER PAR
TlcULARs.
AUSTIN, April s.-To,day has been one
| long to be remembered. At o'clock
this morning, the stage coach from San
Antonio arrived at the Avenue Hotel, and
in short time, rumors, of course moro
or less eXtrayagant, spread over tile city,
detailing the bold and daring robbery re-.
ported in telegram of to-day The
first one was Slightly cXagecWe3- lhq
latter was from the party robbed.
The names of the occnnanG, as taken
from the way,bill, are McLm0rn, O'Ncd,
Walters, BrackInlidge, Frazier, bjcD5-
| nald, Well;, Monroe aud Mrs. Lloyd
The lady acted with great cur
age though several times asked by the
robbers which man she was travelling
with, or by herself. When told that She
was travelling alone, they demanded hel
money. AT the same time, one of then
was rifiing her trunk. MIS-. Lloyd very
firmly told them if they would not molcs
her trunk further she would give then
her money. They agreeing, she handed
one of them heI purse which contained
fiftysfive dollars. She had in her trunl
eighty dollars.
To day, when the description of tn
party of robbers was being given
gentleman who heard it asserted posi-
lively that It must be the two J,mes boy
and Mccoy, of the Missouri gang. Th
gentleman remarked he knew them wei

$500, by the State, $4,000 by Special Pos
tai Agent Callahan, and $1,000 by tn
owners of the stage line, S. 7. Scott

start after them. and it is the universe
. hope that they may be speedily over.aker

NOT BEAD.

The Radical party, in the main, and
all of its divisions, subdivisions and
shades, has been singing the requiem
and reading the burial service over what
they fondly hoped was the dead body OF
the Democratic party. This, suppose it
to have been true, would have removed
from the path OF the Radical chief the
last impediment or obstacle to supreme
power. We were treated to eulogies,
historical "reminiscences and epitaphs
without number, but the worst feature in
the matter was, the party in power, not
feeling the drag of wholesome opposi
tion, vent forward in its schemes of cor
ruption and Generalization, until the
public mind became so debauched and
venal that it could calmly discuss such
schemes as the gigantic Credit Mobilier
frauds, and others of like nature, equally
dishonest, and only differing in degree; !;
could and did tolerate the most fragrant
encroachments upon the vital and distins
gushing traits of our republican sys-
TEN. Many of the softer and weaker ele-
mcnts of Democracy, from having these
dolcful death-notes sung so long and so
increasingly in their ears, came to look
upon the grand old political organization
as dead, or in state of physical decrcp-
itude, which was nearly as bad as death,
and strayed off after the Liberal and other
wings of Rcpub!icanism. These, in con-
sequence Of the immense success of thC
Democracy last fall in Texas, year or sc
since in Georgia, lately in Pennsylvania,
and very recently in Connecticut, are com
ing sgain into line, and with bosom
swelling with renewed hope, and wei
established confidence in the future sue
cess of the party, are renewing their an
cient vows to the great truths taught b,
the disciples and followers of Jefferson
No, the party Is not dead, neither cal
it die, until truth itself becomes mortal
A few more brief years of struggle ant
sacrifice, and we will again start upon tn
career of triumphant progress first inau
gurated by Democratic power, whicl
made this nation and its government tn
favored and favorite asylum of the lover
| of liberty throughout the world.

The Dallas Commercial gives us a
chapter from the acts of gay member of
the editorial fraternity, who has been
domiciled at Denison. The festive quill
driver sent his own proper family off
North, and then sloped with the availa-
bles, and young gushing but credulous
girl Of that city. May his form be 'pied, y
his rollers dirty, his impressions bad and
his "devil" rebellious to the end of time.
This is new "wrinkle" in newspaper
experience. We have always thought it
difficult thing for an editor to do, to
make even a legitimate arrangement ~
with the fair sex, but this sort Of left
handed thing beats us. What a miser,
able fool that Denison girl has made of
herself, to be sure.

The News makes strong point,
in its issue OF last Saturday, against
New Orleans, with regard to the
South American and West India
trade, claiming that Galveston is a
more accessible port, and that she
has more direct communication with
st. Louis and the Northwest, than
that city. This is little like boot
ing your mother when she is too old
to wash your clothes, or resent the
blow, but it is nevertheless stubborn
and in disputable fact; and another
generation will see the products of the
Indies, and South America destined
for tho West and North vest, received
st.s Texas port. Whether it be Calves
ton or not, we cannot say; that de-
pends very greatly upen her sues
cess in securing harbor improvements,
and . system of railroads, affording
easy transit to the interior.

The CUBAN WAR.
Despera.a Titles With Varying Re-
suits.

NEW YORK, April ia letter from
Havana says From an official statement
of the late great battle at Guasimas it APP
pears that the first and third brigades un-
der the command of Brigadier An
nano encountered on the evening of
the 18th instant at Guasimas, stand
ing severe action, which lasted
until the 18th. The Cubans were charged
with great bravery by the Spanish in.
fantry. On the first day the Cubans suf-
fered great losses and were obliged to re-
tire, thus permitting the Spanish column
to encamp on the battlefield, The renew
ed attacks of the former on the 10th, 18th
and 18th ceased entirely upon the arrival of
Brigadier-General Bascenes, with bat
talions and one piece of artillery. Gen.
Bascenes took command of all the troops
and directed the march toward the capital
of the Department, with the object of pro-
curing rations for the troops and intcrring
the dead.
The loss of the Spanish in this engage
ment was one officer and six others killed,
and three officers and twenty-eight soldiers
wounded. The bands of insurgents in this
encounter suffered greatly, leaving on the
field their dead, and some horses, besides
arms and ammunition. In the action OF
Guasimas there were plenty of bodies
left on the field, but the insurgents carried
away very many. The Spanish loss was
six officers and lightweight soldiers killed
one chief, nineteen officers and eighty-nint
soldiers wounded, and one chief thirteen
officers and one hundred and eight soldiers
were slightly wounded.

WHISKY AND PISTOLS.
Murder Of Nephew of Geu.I C.i.eeRs
inrldge.

\ terrible tragedy occurred at Lebanon
at | O'Clock yesterday. John J.. Ander-
son, ayoung man about 2l or 25 years ofage,
shot and fatally wounded young J. II.
Breckenridge, of Danville, Kentucky, in
the Maxwell saloon, at that place. Young
Anderson is son OF DIR. J. M. Anderson,
of that town, and it is said was much un-
der the influence of intoxicating spirits
when the shooting was done.
j. Il, Breckinridge is n student in the
law department of Cumberland Universi-
ty. He is closely related to the distin-
guished family of that name in Kentucky,
being the son of the late DIR. Robert J.
Breckenridge, brother of w. c. Il. Breck-
inridge, of Lexington, and q nephew of
Hon. John G. Breckinrldge.
1t seems that Anderson, Breckinridge
and Leroy Settle were standing in COM
pany on the street talking. Anderson re
marked to Breckenridge that he wanted to
use his umbrella. Breckenridge replied
that as it was raining he would want to use
it all day himself. Anderson then took
the umbrella from Breckinridge's hand
and prepared to leave with il, which action
induced angry words from both parties.
Mr.. Settle here remarked to Breckinridge
to let him (Anderson) have it, and he would
see that 1t was returned, After this little
alteration, the difficulty was or seemed to
| have been amicably adjusted. Later in the
evening the two young gentlemen entered
| n billiard saloon, and played game or two.
| Still later, or about i O'Clock, A. NJ. they
entered the Maxwell saloon and called for
drinks for themselves and another gentle
man. The third party and Breckinridge
had been handed beer, when Anderson
called for wine. As the bartender turned
to supply his demand, Anderson drew n
pistol and shot Breckinridge mortallP
wounding him, the ball enteringj ust above
the right eye and causing portion of his
| brain to protrude. Breckinridge fell in.
stantly. The bartender attempted to pass
from behind the counter to the assistance
of the wounded man, when Anderson pre-
sented a pistol at the same time ordering
another drink of wine.
This the bar-keeper gave him, and start
, ed again toward Breckenridge. Anderson
ordered him back again, this time de-
manding a cigar, which was given him
, and then Anderson walked out of the sa-
loon. After Anderson left the saloon, the
bar-keeper procured assistance and convey
ed Breckinridge to the Lee House, where
he is now lying.
Doctors James L. Thompson, Jas. Eite
and G. Robinson were called in promptly
4 to his assistance. Upon examination they
= pronounced his recovery impossible. Por
The report has since obtained circulation
that Anderson has left the town.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.
EDERAL SUPREME COURT.
NATIONAL BANKS NOT TAXABLE BY
STATES.
First opinion of Chief Justice Waite.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Chief
Justice delivered his first opinion on the
Bench of the Supreme Court to-day, in a
case from Illinois, touching the right of
the State to tax nonresident national
bank shareholders at the residence of the
bank. The members OF the Bar who heard
il, and his brethren on the Bench, speak OF
it in eulogistic terms. Hon. Reverdy john
son is complimentary in his remarks, both
as to the merits of the opinion and the
manner of delivery. The Chief Justice
delivered his first formal opinion consid-
erably earlier than the late Chief Justice
did.
The Supreme Court to-day decided the
case of Tappan, Collector of taxes of Chica-
90. against the Merchants National Bank
OF Chicago, from the Circuit Court of IL
linois, presenting the question whether
the Legislature of Illinois could, in 1867,
provide for the taxation of the owners OF
shares of the capital stock of national
bank in that State at the place within the
state where the. bank was located without
regard to their places of residence.
The Court below decided that the tax
could not be thus laid, and the decree was
rendered against the collector. That de-
cree is here reversed, the Court holding
that shares of stock in the National banks
are personal property under the national
banking act. They ARE species of per-
sonal property, says the Court, which is, in
one sense, intangible and incorporeal; but
the law which creates them may separate
hem from the person Of the owner for the
purposes of taxation, and give them a
ssitus of their own. This has been done,
it is held, by the banking act since the
decree below was made. The Supreme
Court of Illinois has held the state law o.
1867, under which the tax was laid, to be
valid, and that decision is held to be bind
ing on this Court. Its correctness is alsC
conceded Chief Justice Waite delivered
the opinion.
