Horse lhicNiug.

From all quarters OF this and djoin-
Ing counties come reports of horses sto'
len and offers ofrewnrds l0rthc thieves,
Last week we gave an account OF the
arrest OF Sanford Crow and portion
of his gang IN the nation by Deputy
ShoriilMct Nrty, and the recovery of u
large number of stolen horses. Since
that We have heard OF n number of
thelts being committed IN this county,
II seems that there IL an organized
band Of horse thieves operating IN the
northern tier of counties Of this state,
and driving the stolen stock across
into the nation, where they conceal
them until they get II large drove aud
then drive through To Arkansas or up
into Kansas and sell them.
\ few nights since Deputy sheriff
Lee Hall, ran into camp OF the scoun-
drels with wa JOns, horses, women and
children, but unfortunately the men
were out on raid and he did not cap.
lure them. lie secured one Of the
gang ut n house in the ncighh0rhood,
and turned him over to guard of citi-
zens at Collinsvillc. We have not
heard of his being placed in jnil, and
would not be surprised If his thicving
days were not over The citizens of
this county ought TO organize COM
pany Of minute men, or vigilance
committee for self protection, and it
would do no harm TO stretch the necks
of the scoundrels if their wholesale
thieving cannot be stopped in any
other way Sherman Register, May :.

SOME months ago, an occasional
friend of the HERALD would say to us
that we devoted too much space to pol
itics. Well, politics was then the par
amount issue, and we went in heavily
OH that line. When that special issue
was over, we went more exclusively
into matters affecting our material
welfare, and now a friend here and there,
says we do not say enough about poll
itics. In reply we have this to say:
every thing i'm its season. An editors
duty is to study and reach out for that
which is best for the good of ALTO
advocate it, and to persuade all Others
to do likewise. He should consider
that he is like one of many SONS of a
common mother, and seek the welfare
of all his brothers. On that principle,
God being our judge and helper, we try
to act, and shall so continue, though
frowns and objections may come. 1t is
our business to study the public well
fare, honestly and faithfully, and strive
to do rights any and all times, and when
convinced of error to confess it openly
and manfully. This is our creed and
we would not swap it off for the
evanescent applause of all the men, wo.
men, children, niggers and heather
Chinee this side of sunset. So it is nc
use in trying to mould us into ball o.
putty--it can't be done while reason
and a life time training in the schoo
of virtue and liberty remain.

Mr.. j. NJ. MoRPHIS has about COM
pleted a work, soon to be issued in
book form, on the history of Texas.
We have seen n few of the chapters.
1t does not purport to be, in the true
sense, II connected history, but success
sion of chapters Astounding in the most
remarkable and interesting incidents
in our romantic career as u people.
Mr.. Morphis is a graphic and sprightly
writer, and has dew voted part ofhis time
for years to the accumulation of facts
on which to write his book. 1t is being
published at subscription price Of five
dollars. On his subscription book
we see the names of Il large number of
old citizens of the state, and took pleas
IRE in adding our own. The more that
is written on our history during the life
time of the survivors the better, be-
cause it opens the way to correct all
errors of fact by living witnesses of the
facts stated.

A SPECIAL correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe is travelling through the
overlooked district. Writing from New
Orleans on the Sth, he says: "At pres
ent it is impossible to definitely assess
the damage resulting from the inunda-
ton, but it is said 100000 will not
be an extravaganza estimate. This in
cludes crops, chattels and all losses. 1t
may be reduced should the water re-
cede in time for cotton crop, but the
chances for sugar and rice are slim,
The Teche country, rich in sugar, gives
no hope, for there is no prospect of an
abatement within month. Louisiana
gives but little promise of anything
but cotton, upon which there will be a
loss of 100000 bales, but this will not
SO affect the planter as the consumer,
who will be compelled to pay higher
prices. Details of human suffering
show that people are living in their
garrets and are subsisting on drowned
and starved stock. In some instances
people are living thirty miles from dry
land. The water is falling slowly, but
until il has gone down, and a feeling of
safety induce correspondents to find
out, no definite estimate of the loss can
be made"

Baxter Refuses 10 Accept the
Terms Proposed by
Williams.

GALVESTON, May 1.-THE News
special from Little Rock to-day says
At noon the picket firing ceased and
a general engagement was prevented
by Colonel Rose sending across the
river detachment of United States
troops, under command Of Lieutenant
Morrison, who marched his men be-
tween the two opposing lines, where
they are this moment.
The result of the fight is known to
have been one wounded on BaXter's
side and one killed and one wounded
on Brooks'side.
King White commanded the Baxter
forces in person, his movements being
directed by General Churchill, who, il
seems, made the move to prevent the
capture of an expected train Oh the
Cairo and Fulton railroad, bringing u
number of the members Of the legisla-
ture and n company of men. The leg
islature is now in session at the Dinkla
block, Governor Baxter having re-
yoked so much of his martial law proc
lamation rs refers to their assembling.
Governor Baxter has positively in
formed your reporter that he will not,
under any circumstances, accept the
terms proposed by Attorney General
Williams, and publishes circular to
that effect
LITTLE Rock, May 1.-THE federal
authorities ordered the restoration of
the steamer Halle to her owners,
whereupon the Brooksites scuttled her
and she sank to the hurricane deck.
Both bodies have been reinforced
and the lines are closely drawn. More
cannons were planted to-day.
A number of senators aud representa-
tives have appealed to the government
for protection in their assembling.
Two negroes were killed by the Bax-
ter pickets near the fair grounds, yes
terday morning.
In the evening several skirmishers
advanced up the street and joined BaX-
ter's picllets, when the officer in COM
mand ordered all the citizens to their
houses and the soldiers to their quar-
tiers.
The regulars keep close at their bar
racks, as II fight was expected at any
time during the evening.
There are two companies of regulars
at the city hotel, one at the United
States court building and artillery with
horses haruessed Oh side street.
The regulars have four barbados in
the city and one on the opposite side
of the river.
Orders were issued 10y all parties yes
terday afternoon for the soldiers to 30
to their quarters, and for the citizens
to keep in their homes.
In the evening Colonel White, of
BaXtar's force, rode to the outskirts of
the city and the regulars followed
shortly after.

Filthy Beasts.

When we noticed the names of a
number of prominent radical polit-
clans and notorious rascals, white and
black, on the relief committees of sew
eral of the overllowed parishes, we felt
certain that the bread given in charity
and mercy to the suffering would be, if
possible, used to further dirty political
purposes. We were not mistaken. In
many localities the negroes are leaving
the hill lands where they have work,
and going down into the OVERLOOKED
districts to get free bread. Besides
this, though the hill planters, in
many instances, are offering the
negroes of the overlooked plan
tiers work on the hills, they refuse to
leave the lowlands as long as ratiOns
are sent there. Members of the COM
mittee are encouraging the negroes in
this course for the purpose of keeping
their votes in the respective parishes.
Indeed, the negroes openly declare
they do not intend to work while the
United States government continues
to feed them. This ought to be put a
stop to- and when those who are offered
work refuse it, their rations ought to
be stopped. 1t would be blessing
any way, ifsuch creatures were to starye
to death. -TShreveport Times.
