We take pleasure in copying the fol-
lowing well deserved compliment to
our young townsman, G. y. Aldredge,
Esq, from an article in the Ellis
County News, Ola the district court,
now in session there:
The state has also had a faithful rep
resentative in the person of Geo. n.
Al,lredre, Esq. He has indeed been
energetic and efficient, discharging
the onerous duties of district attorney
with signal zeal and ability. His
powerful effort in one of the felony
cases tried, elected the praise and ad-
miration of every one who heard II.
Disposed to give every one a fair
chance to prove his innocence, yet
when satisfied from the law ana test-
mony that the defendant has been
guilty of gross violations of the law,
he eloquently and successfully insists
that he must suffer the consequences.

From the New Orleans Blu letin.l
Longstreet says the fight was not
continued Tuesday morning, because
he was "short of ammunition" This
is little too weak. The citizens who
first entered the Jackson square police
station found room filed with boxes
of cartridges, to which they helped
themselves. He also tries to make a
scapegoat of poor old Attorney General
Field for Withholding the appropria-
ton of S20, 900 made by the Legislature,
for want of which he hadn't ammuni-
ton. Fudge! He knows, as well as
we do, that he aud his force were
whipped, thrashed, routed, infantry
and artillery, by 1850 men--men, too,
mostly who fought under him in the
war in Virgiuia-men whose bravery
and soldierIy qualities made his repu.
tation.
Go and hide your head, poor, de-
rcute,l, LuiIgatreet. = man We once
loved and admired--we have followed
you in forty battles. You were to us
all that was great and brave, and now

THE following specimen lie we eX-
tract from the Indianapolis speech OF
that venOmous human reptile, Senator
Morton, of Indiana:
All the negroes ask is to be let alone
They know very well that they can
not cope with the whites in any strug-
gle with arms. They have little prop
erty and comparatively few arms.
They are not able to defend themselves.
These wicked calumnies are made the
preteXt for assassinations in every
part of the south. The White leaguers
or the kukluX-ior they are the same
thing-go cunning for negroes. Ihey
hunt them like squirrels, they murder
them singly and by the score, upon
false prci exits or none at all. In many
cases white republicans are murdered.
1t is not Il war of races; it Is II war oi
one race upon another. and, broadly,
il is II war against the republicans OF
the south, white and black. This is
not from apprehensions ofsocial equal
ity or fear OF the civil rights bill, but
to make this II white mans govern
ment, and reduce the negroes a5
nearly us possible to slaves.

Coal.

A party of men brought in two wagon
loads of coal from the frontier. They
would not disclose the locality. The
coal was picked up on the surface; it is
in large blocks, but crumbles easily,
with rectangular fracture. Professor
Burlcson, the assistant state geologist,
procured some of the coal for analysis.
1t is black, but the specimens our re-
porter saw seem to the eye to contain
sulphur, and when crumbled shaly
coating seems spread over the frag-
ments. Bystanders, who claim 10 have
seen good Pennsylvania coal and other
articles, say that this is good for n sur

doubtedly turn out below the surface

Attorney General Clark, in his letter
of the 9th instant, to Hon. r. ID. john
son, chief justice of Galveston county,
in reply to the question as TO whether
a Justice of the peace should be elected
by the vote of the entire county or by
that of the precinct alone, says that
"the only law in existence authorizing
the elections of such officers provides
for their election 10y the qualified votes
of each Justice $ precinct. See general
laws of 1870, chapter sixty'five section
one. No conflict is perceived between
this section and the provision, OF the
constitution on the same subject, arti-
Gle five, section nineteen, and provld-
ing justices, in ordinary elections for
said Office, should conform their action
to the statute"

the October Aldine, Il number which
glows with all the beauty and richness
of the season, surprising each of its
predecessors. a tinted page by j. ID.
Woodward represents wood and
river scene in the fall of the year, when
the leaves are dropping from the trees,
and the air is balmy. The picture is
an exquisite gem. "Desdemona,n
after Cabanal, is n noble figure, Won
derfully engraved by Jonnard. The
face Is full of beauty and pensive sad
ness, and the hands are clasped as in
prayer. Mr.. Arthur Parton contributes
a grand full-page picture, called "The
Rapids of the Au Sable" and repre-
senting in a vivid manner the bold
scenery of the Adriondacks. Thespirit
of the picture is full of life and motion.
A charming subject sure to attract wide
admiration, is Spring" by Pierre y.
Cott, from the original in the posses
sion of A. II. Steward, Esq, of New
York. The effect of sunshine is soft
and beautiful, and the whole picture is
n poem. The other illustrations in this
number are much more numerous than
usual, and consist of a scene on the
Grand Canal, Venice; "Wild Flowers"
by l.. Bechstein; series of thirteen
pictures, illustrative of the life of Mar
tin Luther and the Castle Wartburg, in
Germany "rhe Ugly Beauty" by A.
