are robbers edicts, and whose officials are
greedy scousdrels, hoped to get the poor con-
ISOLATION of having their story of wrong and

The boss>carpenters of New York
have determined that after the first
of April they will employ no man ex-
cept upon the understanding that ten
hours constitute a days work. The
boss masons are, 1t is said. about to
take similar course, and we may
hence expect good deal of excite
ment among workmen during the
next month. II is undenlable that
the decline in the building trade be,

hour law, and it is believed by build
ers that the return to the old practice
is tie only remedy.

CRIME IN TEXAS.

In making up an estimate Of the mum,
ber Of crimes committed in this State, as
compared to others Of the Union, 1t should
be remembered that from the earliest set,
tlement Of the State, 1t has been the point
to which has gravitated the wild and
reckless of all the others, as well as Eu-
rope and Mexico. Then the long tute-
lage of the latter stamped something of
its own lawless features upon the people; !;
and, indeed, it was-in the early days,
while society was but illy organized
necessary for the good and true, to band
themselves together, as well for mutual
protection as to punish condignly the vii
lians who were often too strong for the
courts, or the usual force at their COM
mand. This state of things has been the
rule in all newly settled States and Terri
tories. Not more so in Texas, perhaps
than Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Cali.

the West, Southwestern and Northvests

hiding places for the rogues. Then, thu
abundance Of horses roaming at will ovel
the broad prairies, furnish rapid ant
cheap facilities to the lawless to elud'
justice, as well as to carry them to th'
most inviting fields of plunder.
The causes which have produced thi

in their nature, and will pass ava,
before the onward progress of society
like the msts before the morning sun
The unstable elements of our large float
ing population will either settle them
selves into the usual industrial channel
Of society, or take their flight to othe
and more congenial climes, and in an,
event Texas will be relieved of thei
weight.
The general society of Texas will com
pare favorably with that of any State il
the Union. The energetic and cnterpris
ing OF all the States have sought ou
splendid lands, our fine climate and won
derful facilities for acquiring wealth
and still they come from all quarters o
the globe, bringing their inherent respee
for law and order with them. They will
stand at the shoulder of the administra
ton and the officers of the law, in enforc
ing respect for the same; and very sool
such crimes rs the recent stage robbery
and the Hood county slaughter, will be
come impossibilities, and be heard of n,
more forever.
Our local authorities, headed by tn
chivalrous Ross as sheriff, are fast restor
ing that respect for law, which was los
by the ineompetency and venality o
previous officers. This is the case gener
ally through the State, and will soon be
come potent to protect all the honest ant
good among our people.

cured Sulzer was IN Europe, and the note
was protested, but krasS made an agreement
payment OF $50, they agreed to and did extend the
payment OF the note for fifteen days, without the
knowledge or consent OF SulZer. The note not
being paid suit was brought against Sulzer. On
the trial Suizer claimed that he was released as
endorser from the payment OF said note by reason
oil the extension OF the time OF payment, but the
plaintiff claimed that this agreement was void as
being usurlouS, and therefore the end0rser was
not released. The Court below held with plain

the defendant appealed from the Judgment TO the

the District Attorney, who at once announced ms
inability to prosecute him, as no charge coud be
made, the man having violated no law Of the land

Nothing, therefore, was left but TO discharge tine

SuRRCSATE'S COURT.
Powers OF Executors and Trustees.


Before Surrogate Robert c. Hutchings.
In the litigation regarding the will Of the late
william P. Furness an accounting has been had
before the Surrogate, and upon an examination it
has been shown that the books OF the estate have
not been written up since May last. The fact has
also been elected by the sworn statement and
upon the examination OF one Of the executors and
trustees that the executor and trustee in question
had loaned to certain banking house on call
1890 900 OF trust lunds belonging to the Furness
estate. The securities pledged Tor this loan
were 1000 shares OF New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad stock, 1000 shares OF Rock Island
and 1900 shares OF Lake Shore. Such loan, 1t is
contended, was made in violation or law, settled
by the Court OF Appeals in the case OF King VS.
Talbot, Al New York Reports page 76. and is one
OF the controlling reasons Tor measures taken by
Of the heirs to the Furness estate TO supersede
the executors for their alleged irregularty and
incompetency. The contest over the management
OF this estate is one OF interest and some import
ance, ii effects a large amount OF real estate
which may under judicial decision, be brought in 10
the real estate market.
