His HOnOr's Court.

But two forlorn individuals put in an
appearance before his honor yesterday
morning.
John Holmes, gentleman from the
rural districts, got too much cheap
whisky, and forgetting that the war
was temporarily suspended, brought his
artillery the front, and opened
vigorous fire. The noise of the battery
brought the blue caps to the front,
who, after gallant charge, succeeded
in capturing both John and the bat
terry. In default of contribution of
twelve dollars and half to the ord
nance department Of the city, he was
booked for the street gang, and will
show the citizens of Dallas for the next
twelve or fifteen days what he knows
about handling n lopg-handled shovel.
william Henry Smith, disgustingly
drunk, was nipped for three and costs.
He had plenty of money, he said,
down town, and a policeman was de-
tailed with the gentle William to walk
down town and procure the requisite
amount to allow William Henry to
once again stand among his fellow
men free man. The place was
reached, and William Henry stepped
up stairs to see his uncle. AS William
Henry has not returned as yet, it is
fair to presume that he is still.hunting
for that uncle. 1t may not be out Of
place to state that there was pair of
stairs on the second floor leading to
the hack entrance.

OUR INCUBAToRs AT AUSTIN.

The advantage of having legisla-
ture fresh from the people was dwelt
upon with great zest before the elect
ion-the beauties of the desired reform
were painted in glowing colors. Well,
let us look at this legislature I" fresh
from the people," What has it accom-
plished in the way Of settling the
main questions and issues upon which
it was elected? The constitutional
convention, and the usury law have
both been virtually pigeoned-holed.
The vexatious international muddle
still clogs the wheels of legislation,
and seems to be point upon which
everything down at Austin turns.
There have been the usual number of
little bills of local character intro
duced, and good deal of sophomore
eloquence wasted, but as far as accom-
plishing what it assembled for, the
legislature might as well have stayed
at home.
We hear much of this and that lobby,
too, at the capital. How embryo
Sam Words, with their plausible mani
ners and the Establishments of dinners
are corrupting the rural innocents
elected as watch dogs over the state
treasury. Austin is getting fast
name and the verdant, hOary headed
patriots who went in home spun
clothes, wool hats and yarn suspenders,
have dropped them for slop shop suits
of black Droadcloth, and are STEPPED in
all the second-handed wickedness of
an interior railway town. This is sad,
if dissipated, wealthy and unscru-
pulous lobby is slowly undermining
the Spartan virtue and virgin political
integrity of "the fresh from the peO-
ples' legislature. Lord have mercy
upon one fresh from other sources. We
do not despair of Texas In spite of the
boys debating society look of some of
the proceedings and the urchin ele-
ment, which crops out now and then,
In the midst of matters of great pith
and moment.

GRANTS LATEST MOvE-THE FORCE
BILL.

The passage by the United States
house of representatives of the infa-
nous caucus force bill, is only part of
the programme marked out by Grant
to effect his policy of provocation in the
south. Unless it is defeated in the SEN
ate il will give the president the power
to exasperate our people elsewhere to
almost any pitch Ire may desire. The
provisions of the bill do not include
Texas, but rs it is designed to operate
in Louisiana and Arkansas, neighbor-
ing states, we cannot but regard 1t as
menacing. That this bill is subversive
of constitutional liberty, tyrannical,
partisan and revolutionary, is plain.
1t is one of the desperate resorts of n
lot of corrupt fanatics and placemen,
who hope to be able to hold on to Office
by creating an excuse for continuous
interference, with the ultimate inten-
ton of controlling the electoral votes
for Grant in his brazen desire for
third term.
There is no earthly excuse for so ex-
IRENE measure towards the states
embraced in the bill. The troubles ex-
isting in them are those created and
fostered by the malicious informed
ding spirit of the radical party. If
they would just let the Whites and
blacks there alone TO settle among
themselves their relations, peace and
order would again reign. But no soon
err are the wounds bound up by any
compromise than the president tears
off the bandages, and they bleed afresh.
How long are these states to be left to
the mercy ola thieving set of adyen-
turers and vicious, ignorant negroes in
order that Grant may fatten himself
and relations and followers on the pub
lie treasury? Will the north never
learn that its turn will come next If
these insatiate official leeches are not
taken off of the body polite Alpeady
there are signs of the coming bleeding
of the north by Grant 4 Co. to n great
er extent than their presel.t exhaustion
of the spstR.

The civil rights bill las beon signed
NY tile president aud IL u Inv. The
passage ~ n has been forced through In
order 10 make II available ~ n political
lever In the south for the president to
manipulate In his own interest "a II
candidate. The welfare Of the negroes
aud their relations with the whites
have not been the object Of IL
so much IA II II made to APP
pear. The whole spirit Of II has n
campaign document look. IL win be
made use Of as u law TO array the me-
groes against the whites and thus afford
u show OF reason for garrisoning GER
tain localities where the vote Is desira-
BILE. If the south can by means Of this
civil rights monstrosity be kept aggra-
waited, defiant and FESTIVE 1t will ac-
complish the main purpose for which
II was concocted. 1t is one of the
trump cards in the presidents hand. He
relies upon its doing wonders for him in
his little game. Unfortunately for him,
1t is extremely doubtful whittier this
part of his machinery for propelling
his third term craft will work general
ly. The negroes in many localities are
fast awakening to the fact that the
southern people, who are familiar with
them, are their best friends, and they
will hardly, as a general rule, seek to
throw themselves in where they have
not been accustomed to go. Perhaps,
enough specimen attempts will be
made for electioneering purposes, but
to all intents and purposes the law will
be a dead letter. The genius of radi-
calism eliminates with its passage.
You cannot mix oil and water, and the
negro now knows that this civil rights
bill is rope of sand as far as any BEN
eft to his race is concerned. Its pass
age is one thing-its enforcement quite
and may end in somebody
getting hurt.

COMMERCIAL AND rrxAScI...

The business Of our city for the past
week has been characterized by bet
ter feeling resultant from an increase
of sales in the leading branches Of
trade. Especially is this notable in
the line of western produce and gro
ceries, large sales of which have been
effected. This we would suggest to our
farming community..is condition Of
things much to be deplored, and it is
to be hoped that the reports we hear of
a larger area ofgrain having been plant
ed and planting than ever before, may
be generally true. II is, in our humble
opinion, CLEANED from what we have
seen after dependence on cotton for
supply of money sufficient to improve

property, and oven pay current eN'
penses IN seasons u short crops, deold'
edly n suicidal policy. We have
IN this northern portion N
Texas n presidential reminder, In
Tie fact Of our soil aud climate
being adapted TO every species Of crop
usually raised In ttiis latitude, that we
are 10 be the granary Of the whole
state, aud common sense would teach
that IL Is necessary to diversity our
crops to supply this want We note
this with the hope that attention may
be more directly called to the point
before the planting season finally
closes.
But to return to the city business aud
that of the surrounding country. The
roads have been rather bads owing to
the rains, and trade, though large for
the past two weeks, compared with the
same time previously, has been cir
cumscribed by the planters having to
stay at home and prepare for their
crops and plant. Country merchants
report things rather duller in proper
ton than our city business would
show, resulting from this wantof coun-
try custom, while they are sending
their own orders to this point, prepare
tory to their spring trade.
The smaller retail dealers in our city
seem to be realizing the fact that to
pay high rents and compete with the
wholesale dealers, is making their
profits rather smaller than will justify
the outlay, and hence there is less dis
position to start new ventures in this
already over-done class of retail mer-
chants, while those who have got
fo0thold seem content. Upon the
whole, we may congratulate ourselves
on business being in n healthier state
than any year since the business as
sumed its present proportions, and it is
still increasing in volume, as testified
by our large jobbing merchants, whose
gross sales are larger than ever before
in the same season of the year.
In financial circles there seems to be
greater ease. Demands for discounts
are not on the Increase to the extent
that might have been expected and the
mercantile community are meeting
their paper promptly. Exchange deal
ings are not so large as other seasons
but are quite up to the spring trade
actions of even better years as to gen.
eral prosperity.
The offerings of exchange at the
counter are very slight. Rates are, sell
ing per cent premium for bank OH all
points, buying par The rates for dis
count 2l@3 per centper month, though
A / paper is readily discounted at
less. Coin offerings are
very small in this "hard money" state,
1t being counted nuisance to handle.

NONE but physician knows how

when ski lful and cautious medical men
give over their own signatures II favorable
opinion of the soothing and vtalizing effects
of preparation, the public does IL hesitate
to believe them. The voluminous and en-
phatic professional testimony in favor of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, as a specific for
all disorders of the stomach and bowels, for
liver complaint, intermittent and remittent
fevers, and the thousand ills that wait upon
dyspepsia, must convince the most skepti-
cal. Aside, however, from the testimony of
the faculty, there is q large mass of evidence
from patients in every walk of life, all show
ing that this great preventive and restora-
tive is OF inestimable value to the sick and

preventive of disorders caused by miasma
