WE think It strange the Ntsrs and the
STATEsMAS, both of which have animad-
verted upon the opinion and condemped It
as uns0und, have not published i, With
their criticism on one hand, and the opin-
ion Of the court on the other. the intelli-
gent public could judge between them
Brsaham BaaRer.
1t is strange how some of.our cotempora-
ries are disposed to misrepresent the STATEs-
NAS. Will the Banner show one paragraph
in which we animadverted upon theopin-
ionl On the contrary, We said that while
we did not think the majority opinion was
sustained by the law and legal precedonts,
still we did not believe that it was right to
impugn the motives Of the judges, as they
we're pure and honorable, with spotless rep
utations. II, by the word animadvert the
Baaaer means simply that we did not ap-
prove that decision, then it is correct; but
in common parlance, the word means more
than difference Of opinion; It amounts to
censare, and is calculated to mislead, unless
our position is given so that the public can
judge between us.

Richard A. Proctor makes q suggestion to
the London newspapers, which, he says
would enable some Of our skiiful astr0.
nomical amateurs 10 do their part toward
utilizing the important phenomenon Of the
transit OF Venus. His suggestion Is that
the middle and latter half Of the transit
should be observed and photographed at
some station in Natal or Cape Colony.
Such provision as circumstances admit of
has now been made for observing and pho
togTaphing, first, the beginning and end OF
the transit severally, and second, the whole
transit. But the middle Of the etBneif, which,
theoretically, is the most important phase
Of all (because, at this stage, the
planets apparent distance from the
suns centre charges very slowly, 20 that q
small time error IS unimpoftani), has been
unaocountably neglected. So far as north.

THE Grimes County journal gives an ac-
count Of little girl who, while on the
plank walk, was met by negro woman
and child, who ordered her to get out Of
the way, and raised a stick over her, which
so frightened the little girl that she ran
home speechless and afraid Of every one
who approached her. She is much better;
but who can tell the effect upon the chiId's
mind A reward of twenty-five dollars is
offered for proof sufficient to convict the
woman. Such conduct is outrageous; and
any oilicial who would encourage it ought
to be made to know that an indignant peo-
pie viii hold him to a strict account.

positionl lof Democrats To put of actiOn in

brought Us Of victorious in nany hardly

they should not be lulled int6 the belief
that victory win perch upon ouF banners

ton that money viii be furnished by the

in Democrats, If they should, by want of
organization and union, permit the enemy
to divide and conquer us. Therefore it is
but obeying the voice Of reason and COM
mon sense TO perfect organizations and
book every man in the district, beginning
with the county precincts. Let the county
conventions be composed of the representa-
tive men from each precinct, and the con-
yention at Brenham of the representative
men of each county--men who look to the
triumph Of the party and not of men; and
who, for that very reason, will select the
best man to represent US in Congress. The
same advice we would give to the Demo
Gratis all over the State. We hope that
there VIII be full representation at Bren-
ham; and that wisdom, forbearance and
harmony viii characterize the convention,
SO that with united energy and purpose We
may triumphantly elect the nominee, in
spite of the tricksand efforts of our cunning
foes.

There can now no longer be any doubt
that there IS an agreement between the va
rious Indian tribes to make war upon the
border settlers IN Texas and the Territories.

tribes start out on the war path about the

well known, BY the lessons Of history, that
they have order and method in their raids.
Il is common for them to send runners to

FROM the Decatur Adrance Guard we ex-
tract the following, showing the casualties
of Major yones's command in the recent In
dian fight, which We published in Sundays
issue;
Casualties-Two men, D. w. Fl. Bayley
and w. A. Glass, of Captain Stevens's COM
pany, killed, and two men of the Majors
escort wounded, viz: Lee Com, of Captain
Caldwell's company, right arm broken near
the shoulder, and Geo. Moore, of Captain
Maltby's company, severe flesh wound in
the leg; twelve horses killed and three
wounded. Our men killed three Indians,
and wounded three that were seem ON the
field.
1t is not Known whether any Indians were
killed among the rocks or not. Several
horses killed, and one-captured. The num-
Der of Indians is estimated at from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty, and sup
posed to have been composed of three par
ties, which had entered the valley within
the last three days.
The Major is satisfied that he saw one
hundred at one time; Others estimate the
number at one hundred and fifty. They
were armed with improved breech-loading
guns, and used no arrows during the fight.
They killed horses at distance of five and
six hundred yards They scalped one of
our men, who was killed about mile from
our main force (having gone for water for a
wounded comrade) and mutilated his body
in o most horrible manner, and shot twenty
seven arrows into him. The arrows are re-
cognized as those of the Kiowas, Conan
ches and Apaches. They are well armed
and mounted, and strictly on theIwar path.
