Keep some strong spirits of hartshorn

COTTON PREMIUMS.

One of the great distinctive features
of the great st. Louis fair, that opens
on the 5th of next October is the un-
precedentedly large premiums offered
for the best bales of cotton exhibited
there. Among these premiums we
note premium of five hundred dollars
for the best bale grown in each state,
Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee and Texas; one of
one hundred and fifty dollars for the
best bale grown 10y each of the Indian
nations, Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee and
Chickasaw; and one grand sweepstake
of one thousand dollars for the best
bale, open to all the states and territo-
ries. Among the rules governing the
decisions, are the following: Cotton
grown in 1874 can alone compete.
Bales weighing less than four hundred
pounds cannot compete. The premi-
ums offered to states and territories are
exclusively for cotton raised north of
the thirty-second parallel. Cotton
raised on sea islands cannot compete
for the sweepstake premium. Cotton
that has been run through any ma
chinery for the purpose of cleaning,
outside of the ginning process, is ex-
cluded from competition.
The cotton premiums aggregate
eleven thousand dollars.

We give up all our space this morn
ing to the circumstantial statement of
Theodore Tilton in reference to the un-
pard offense committed against
him by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
We promised our readers some days
ago that we would publish this state
ment in full as soon rs we received ii.
In consequence of its great length it is
impossible for us to comply with this
promise. 1t would fill up three issues
of the daily HERALD to give it entire.
We have therefore culled out what we
deemed the most important portions
for publication this morning. All this,
it will be remem bered, is substantiated
10y the oath of Tilton.
Beecher is preparing an elaborate re-
ply to submit to the committee. For
the present, he has contented himself
with a general denial, in which he says
that the statement of Tilton rejecting
upon the honor of Mrs. Tilton are alb
solutely false.
So now the issue is fairly and square,
ly made between them. There can be
no more concealments nor disguises.
The public will demand to know every
step that is taken in the investigation,
and no matter what the committee ofin-
vestigation may determine, after hear
ing all the testimony, the American
people will form verdict for them
selves.
One conclusion or the other is bound
to be arrived at, that is, either that
Beecher is guilty or that Tilton is crazy.

THE INTERNATIONAL BOND DECI-

SkSN.
The Waco Examiner, an exchange
that we always read with care, both on
account of the ability manifested in
its columns and because it is supposed
to reflect the views of Governor Coke
on questions of state policy, closes "a
lengthy editorial on the recent decision
of the supreme court in the mandamus
case in the following language:
This decision teaches another lesson,
and that is, that the time has passed
away forever, in Texas, when railroad
or other corporations can or will be
permitted to dictate either to the peO-
pie, the Legislature, the governor or the
supreme court. Their actions will be
squared by strict justice toward every
interest, material or otherwise, but can
only be invoked through considerations
of grace alone, and in the future all
the power of railroads, and eager
money, subsidized advantage hunters
can neither cal jole nor dragoon the gov
ernment into giving into their hands
the hard-earned treasure of the state.
The pressure brought to bear upon
the court, pending the argument, was
wonderful. The decision establishes
the fact that no pressure, however
strong or skilfully handled, could, or
can, swerve it from its duty. The whip
of railroad power was cracked over the
heads of the court i'm vain.
Immediately after the passage of the
compromise bill in April, the Interna-
tional commenced fighting our credit
in Wall street, I'm order to force the tie
cision of the court i'm their favor. This
line was pursued until the decision was
rendered. Then, behold the change.
See how rapidly they changed front,
and how soon they set about to repair
the damage they had done, well un-
derstanding that they can get no re-
lief until that great injury is fully and
amply repaired, and atoned for.
We treat this subject thus fully, be-
cause we deem it only right that the
people should understand the injury
sought to be done their best and truest
interests, by this company, and their
mercenaries, their bought and paid for
advocates. Texas has ever been, and
will ever be, liberal to railroad enter
prises; but while that is to be the case,
She proposes, at the same time, TO be
Just as we'll as generous. The present
state administration does not propose
to see principle established, by which
the people are to become merely the
hewers of wood, and drawers of water,
for railroad corporations, while at the
same time it will guard and protect
the rights of such corporations with
the same jealous care that it does
those of the people themselves.

SENATOR FENTON ON THE THIRD
TERM QUESTION.

H. v. Redfieid, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, interviewed Senator Fen
ton, of New York, a few days ago to
find out what the senator knew about
Grants ambitious purposes in reference
to an extension of his official life.
Senator Fenton says that there is no
doubt that Grant is a candidate for
third term, and that he is working for
it with all the legitimate means at his
command. Furthermore, he says that
Grant is a man Of great shrewdness,
unfaltering perseverance and consum-
mate obstinacy; that when he makes
up his mind in certain direction one
had as well try to turn Niagara from
its course at the rapids as to turn him.
He expresses the opinion that, if the
election were to come of this year,
Grant would be elected in spite of fate,
because the opposition to him could

asked by his interviewer what ele-

'rNEE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The delegates from the five precincts

house on yesterday afternoon, and

county charmln, There was n full
attendance and business was gone into

Hon. n. NJ. Burford and Major John
Henry Brown addressed the conven

the claims of Ex-Governor Throckmor-

said, for many years, and they chal-
lenged the world to find one spot or
one blemish in the record of either his
private or his public life.

Almost incredible speed.

The Chicago Times of the 18th in
slant says:
In 1872 the mare Goldsmith Maid
achieved, at Milwaukee, the fastest
trotting time on record-2:l6l. Yes
terday, at East Saginaw, Michigan,
the watches of the judges are to be re-
lied ON, she beat that time in two sue
cessive heats, making her mile in 2:l64
and 2:l6. To turfmen this time will
appear incredible, but 1t is vouched for
by men of hitherto irreproachable in
integrity i'm sporting matters, and un
less the track on measurement shall
prove to be short, the mare will be en-
titled to the record. This time has
never been equalled on any track, and
the Maid, in this, her last season on
the turf, stands without rival in the
world.

Death is truly mournful at all times,

TEXAS STATE GRANGE p. OF H.,)
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Room,
CALVERT, Texas, July Is, 1874.

CALVERT, Texas, July l6, 1874.
To the Order of Patrons of Husbandry:
The early completion of the Texas
Pacific railroad, being of vital impor-
tance to.the rapid and complete devel-
opment of this state, as well as the
great country west of us, it is very de-
sirable that it should receive addi-
tional assistance from the general gov
ernment. Besides this, another line of
railroads would facilitate communica-
ton with, and induce rates of fare and
freight, to and from the Pacific. This
would benefit the whole country, and
particularly the south. The Northern
and Central lines, having been more
literally assisted, it would seem but
common justice-to say nothing of
policy--that this, the most favOrably
located line, should be substantially
and promptly fostered and encouraged
under proper guarded restrictions, and
most certainly, when less is asked, on
better security.
In view of these facts. the executive
committee of the Texas state grange
deems it important that they should
ask the cooperation of the various
state oranges, in presenting such a
memorial to congress, at its ensuing
session, as will secure favorable con-
sideration and prompt action.
AS no proposed line of Transports
tion now being built is of more impor-
tance in developing the resources of
the country, they most respectfully
submit that this effort to secure the adj
vaDtages already enjoyed by other sec
tions is an appropriate matter for joint
action, and is urged upon the early at
tention of the brotherhood.
