WE publish to-day an abstract OF
decisions by both the United States and
state supreme courts, which should be
preserved and observed by land hold
ers generally in Texas, but it is espe-
cially valuable in localities like Dallas,
where large tracts have been sub
divided into a multitude of small ones.
The practical point suggested to our
people is the great importance of every
man carefully preserving his corners
by durable monuments of some kind.
In the subdivision of the league on
which Dallas chiefly stands, it is wen
known that the cross lines running
nom northwest to southeast do not, In
fact run precisely that course, aud are
not, therefore, precisely at right angles
with the lines which run truly from
southwest TO northeast. Yet, under
the uniform decisions of American
courts for eighty years, as illustrated
by the decisions referred to, the actual
original lines, If known, or ii not
known, then the known corners,
whether stakes, trees, stones or other
monuments, VIII control the course
ana distance named in the deed. Such
Is the doctrine confirmed in the alb
stract of decisions Published to-day.
Per contra, when neither the original
lines nor corners can be Identified, !
chen the actual course and distance |

The HERALD has got hold of u can
ard, which weregrct WINS inadvertently
reproduced IN our columns state
Gazette.
The Gazette may plaster over and
adulato I'll doomadoy, but the HERALD
reasserls both the truth and the Justice
of Us administrations upon the nepo'
tsm of Mr.. Treasurer Dorm, Judge
Randolph was for II number OF
years the able aud faithful chief JUS
tco of Houston county The same
people, for six years elected him to the
LEGISLATURE, His fitness aud modest
merit then caused him 10 10 four times
elected state Treasurer, an 0lllce which
he surrendered at the close OF the war
Since then he has met various mlsIor-
tunes, aud, NJ citizen of Aus'
tin to-day Is poor man, with
II dependent family. Ills ca
pacily and his honesty are unques-
toned 10y all who know him. lie IL
sober and accommodating ~ II man,
and interchangeable ns worker. Thous-
ands regretted that lac was not the
nominee for the office he had filed 50
honorably for eight years.
When Mr.. Dorm entered upon the
Office no appointed Judge Randolph
chief clerk, for which in our heart we
roloiccd. But mark the sequel. After
Keeping him long enough to learn his
own duties aud train other new em-
ployes, Mr., Dorm discharged him TO
make room for his own son, II young
man lof whose merit we have nothing
TO say, rs we know nothing of HIM,
inexperienced In that important posi-
ton, and, outside Of the town OF Bon
ham, unknown to the people. lie had
already got another son an official po-
sition in the land office, These are the
facts ns heretofore stated by ua, aud we
repeat them now. Hence the HERALD
got hold OF no "canard, M stated by
the Gazette, but stern facts, disp0rog-
ing to the treasurer,
If this IL not nepotsm, then the
democratic party has Wiley slandered
President Grant for appointing his
relatives to Office. II is MS bad in Dorm
as in Grant, and is always rcprehensl-
Bile,
Tho Gazette says Judge Randolph
was only temporarily appointed, and
was transferred TO II very desirable
clerkshipn in the comptrollers office.
10 was not understood to be temporary
n month after il was made, and, in the
second place, we feel authorized to
deny that he was "Iranslerrodn to
the comptroller's Office. He was dis
missed by Mr.. Dorm, and was without
any position for short time, till hon
est Comptroller Borden gave him en-
ployment in the compuoller's office,
but ON the lowest salary paid to any
clerk out of ten or more, that we sup
pose being the only vacancy. 1t was II
new appointment, with which Mr..
Dorm had nothing TO do. If these are
not the material facts we shall cheer
fully correct them when satisfied of
our mistake; but rs long as we believe
them to be true, we shall denounce
them as unworthy of any public officer
elected by democratic votes. If that
is the way to build up and keep pure
the democratic party, the gulf between
the democracy and radicalism is
neither as wide nor as deep AS we have
honestly believed it to be.

Houk ought for decency's sake to
nav the CHRONICLE what he owes it,
before abusing it and having his rings
denounce it. He is about the only
candidate who has been announced for
office in the CHRoNICLE who has sue
ceeded in getting credit. We knew
he would cry persecution, if we held
strictly to our rule, and desiring to
show him that we harbOred him no
in will, we trusted him. lie owes Us
for it yet and for other printing we
have done for him, and yet he goes
about whining about the CHRoNICLl
prosecuting him. He is a beautiful
specimen.

seven miles from Knoxville, had his

a fire in the neighborhood. The live

else was destroyed. It was considered
