and sober second thought sustained ",
and II became the acknowledged law OF
The land, properly Interpreted, under
which Coke ID now governor, instcad
Of Davis, and we have democratic
senate and house Of representatives
Instead Of II Legislature In which the
senate was virtually under radical con
troll.
These reflections may sayof OF self
concelt In The estimation of some, bul
we can proudly say they are pregnant
of truth which no honest man cnil
deny, and II we have been found right
In matters of such momenl0us import,
Is II arrogant to expect respect for SIM
liar views on matters pertaining TO our
local concerns? NN M
We take back nothing heretofore
said in u legal view of the case. But
we desire peace and good will In our
city. The city council has modified Its
first action In regard to new registra-
ton, by providing. for opening regis
tratlon books In each ward, on Mon
day next, March %, to be kept open
for five days.
AS the candidates of our party, IN
the main, have assented to this, and
as many democrats, who heartily en-
dorse our legal view Of the question,
think the proposed registration will be
fairly conducted, together with two
other reasons mentioned below, we
advise our friends to go and register
within the days named, that is EN-
braclng Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, of next week,
March 23d to 2Sth inclusive ~.
Both reasons referred to, are rather
moral than legal in their nature The
first is, the unfortunate mistake IN
mixing the wards of the city with por.
lions of the county in the previous reg
istration. The second Is the fact, Of
which we were not before advised
that many names on the books now
We're registered ~ proxy, without the
personal presence of the voter, fol
which registering, officers are liabl,
to punishment, rs IL Is in violation o
n law honestly designed to secure fail
elections.
While this is true, we still maintain
that every citizen in either ward o
Dallas, registered on the regis
tration books of Dallas county, is {
lawful voter in his ward of The
city, and if any such should decline tt
register now, and to demand the righ
of voting on that ground at the ensuing
city election, the officers refusing hi
vote will stand a fair chance to land il
the penitentjary at Huntsville.
), 70 prevent confusion, ill-feeling ant
bad blood in the community, yielding
something Of our manhood, to tn
views of friends, we advise all lega
, voters in Dallas to register as herein
, before set forth. But let it DO distinct
, ly understood, we do so without &C
= knowledging its legal necessity, AM
I, solely on, the moral grounds previousl,
named. We are to-day n legally regis
tered voter, in precinct number six o
Dallas county, and live in ward mum
Der three of the city of Dallas. a
{ such, we are entitled to vote in GU
ward, in the coming city election, an,
and whether we register now, rs
} moral compromise or not, the election
officers will reject our vote at thei
peril. etinW

AUSTIN, March ", 1874
10 the Editor ofihe Dallas iIernldi
Having been At the capital for u time,
and an observer Of the movements In
matters Of legislation now pending,
and th action of several Of its menu
beers, trust you will pardon me for
mentioning thenaine Of one, who GER
talnly merits the especial favor of
praise of the people of his district and
the northwest; indeed, that of the en-
tire state. nllude 10 the Hon. A. j.
Ball, of Parker county, senator from
that district, Some twenty years ago
he came TO Texas poor boy, and some
two years later he obtained license TO
practice law, and, by his industry and
energy, has built up a good name, and
his noble heart and generous impulses
merit the praise aud confidence of all
good men. As n legislator he IL n sue
cess. Ever watchful of the interest OF
his section, his mind rises high in the
most brilliant light on all subjects
which affect the entire state. He Is n
true lover of his state. Texas! all, who
does not loye the name. Long may the
representatives of her diversified inter-
ests meet and harmonize all feelings
and wants, aud ere long accomplish
the desired object Of all good people,
the building up of every section
when we shall hear the welcome voice,
"well done.n Texas Is not a happy
home for one who has contracted any
selfish views and purposes, and whose
cold heart Is only warmed when his
section has the smiles of fortune, even
to the detriment and wants of others
Such men are not TeXans-not true
men. | am proud, Indeed, we have SO
few of this character. You, dear
reader, like myself, would be happy to
seeall such emigrate to Mexico orsome-
where else. Pardon me for this digres-
sion, and allow me to say that all such
. feelings are repugnant to the sensibili-
ties of Senator Ball. | have watched
his efforts and indomitable energy to
+ give protection to the people on our
: frontier, who daily live in dread of the
scalping knife of the Indian. The
same energy and earnestness is daily
{ exhibited by him to secure the devel-
opment of the agricultural, manufac-
turing and mineral wealth of the state.
|, He has u well balanced mind-indeed,
every attribute which constitutes n
true man, lover of his state and peo-
pie, and successful legislator.
Well may the people of his district
those of the north and northwestern
deed, those of the whole state, feel
proud that such a man fills n seat in
, The state senate.
, His ability, energy, and knowledge
of our wants, satisfy me that he would
make us true and faithful representa-.
tive in the congress of the United
States, from our district. BELKNAP.

On tomorrow morning we will pub
fish in the HERALD the charge of the
Hon. Silas Hare, judge of the criminal
court, to the jury, in the murder trial
of the state VS.. Ainsworth. The jury
sentenced Ainsworth to eight years in
the penitentiary. We understand the
charge is pronounced by the bar TO be
very ableand lucid, setting forth points
which will have wholesome effect on
all those who have loose notions in re-
lation to human life. Our comments,
however, will appear with the charge.

L WE have received the first number
of the San Saba News, a new paper
just started at San Saba, San Saba
county, by w. T. Melton, publisher,
and William II. Lassing, editor. The
News will he democratic in politics,
and the editor brings to his duties ex-
perience in the profession, The News
contains several well written articles
on leading topics in its first issue,
among them one on frontier protection
and another on the constitutional con-
vention question. On the latter the
editor is strongly in favor of conven-
ton. In his salutatory, he says:
1t is impossible for an editor to
please every one, and the aim, there
fore, of the undersigned will be to
please the greatest number, If ty so
doing, he loses not his independence;
for rather would he dismount from the
editorial tripod than sacrifice his indie
pendence. He has never known any
political creed but that of democracy;
nor has he been able to torture the
teachings of Richmond, Manassas,
or Appomatox into les
sons that prove democracy u heresy or
a crime. The writer tramped after
Hood over those fields of experience,
and whatever else may have been
taught by the teachings of those SAN
culinary conflicts, the laundering guns
that spoke the lesson, uttered no re-
proach whatever, into the ear of the
writer, against democracy and its prin-
ciples. On the contrary, he believes
iirmly that the future will yet interpret
the Language of those laundering guns
into ., prophecy ,bespealsingg lie wisa
dom, soundness and perpetratiotf Of
those principles.

The celebrated King murder case, in
New York, was given the jury on
Thursday. After the jury had been
outawhile, they returned and asked the
Judge IL they had power to find ver-
diet of murder in the second degree.
The Judge answered ailirmatively that
they had such power, but had no right
on the evidence in the case to exercise
it. The jury thanked him and retired.
After u short consultation, they re-
turned u verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree. An expression of disgust
crept over the countenance of the
judge; King look relieved and the jury
blandly smiled.

The facts, or US nearly ss can be gathered,
are that four men had seen the track Of Il

barroled shot guns started on the morning
OF the day mentioned, TO find H. Their
names were Thomes Mills, Is. +. Lincoln,
L. Harley and u Dutcbmsn whose name
could not be learned. After going short
distance, Harley returned to the house,
and wM to watch the south side, and TO
como to them IL they called. The oihe'
three went on. They soon came upon tho
deer and Lincoln was tofirc, but his gun
snapped Then Mills said: "kneel down,
and Let me give him a shot" He knelt
down and Mills fred one barrel but failed
t. bring the deer down, and is started on q
circle that brought Lincoln directly IN
line with Mills, and lust ~ Mills pulled
tho trigger Lincoln raised up just high
enough TO got the contents of
one barrel OF SIX bucksbot in the head tho
charge entering ut the loft side and back
Of the ear, and tearing the whole front OF
the face in dreadful manner. Lincoln
lvcd only about ten minutes. He was q
single man, aged about q years. Mills

been visiting the suburban saloons with
pretty good success, though they don't feel
a. much confidence in the promises made
them, and continue the work until the
irs!t, meet repentance. Since the traffic
has been sutdued in town, it is found that
those who are very dry seek the the more
distant resorts, aud regular train
of conveysnces has been provided that
they may be attended to in the Same spirit
o. the others. Soma of thom were very
obstinate. Tho ladies have found some
cases of sad deslitution, resulting from

attended to. The physicians pledge,
binding them 10 prescribe liquor In cases
only where there is bona tide medical
necessity, has been circulated and signed
by nearly all Of tho doctors. Tho mass
