The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-03-18

Mr.. McCracken Is here, and he reports that
the people Of Jackson have the Austin fever
bad, and that many, very many, families
only await letters from him before starting.
We are satisfied that but a few days so
journ in this city viii convince him that
Austin is the best place that could possibly
be selected for energetic, industrious peo-
pie to immigrate to, and we hope soon to
see many Of his friends and Others follow
ing him to our growing and prosperous
city, where they will be welcomed by hos
pitable people, and where they will find q
healthy climate, beautiful scenery and lands
as rich as they are cheap. There is nc
greater agency for immigration to Western
Texas and the State than the STATESMAN.

A white woman named Margaret Kastle, of

since Saturday week. Her sons were in the
mule house playing cards, when q sudden storm
arose. " hen the men came on deck, the miss
ing woman Was nowhere to be seen, although
she was on the boat few minutes before. Ii
was AT Grst supposed that she blown over.

OF the Canal failed to recover the body. As she
left the boat surreptitiously once before, it i.
quite likely that she took French leave" gsin.
In order to use every means to gain clue to

drawn off the level OF the censl Saturday night,
and the bottom thoroughly searched yesterday
BY the Georgetown police under Sergeant Rodg-

clue to her whereabouts. 1t is supposed that
she is, if alive, wandering about the woods in

FELLOW C1TIzENs:-I thank you heartily
for the compliment that you have rendered 10
calling upon and serepading me this evening.
The victories you have assembled to celebrate
are certainly good cause for rejoicing, even
though the majorities 10 the different States
where elections were held are not so large as
they might have been. They have proven con-
clusively that the rag baby has been etfectu
ally killed, and that, too, by the Republican
party which has arrayed itself in favor Of hon
est money. The victories also give assurance
that the people have not lost con6dc nee in the
Republican party, and that the government OF
the country will be entrusted to II for four years
longer. Again thanking you for the honor you
have paid in calling 90 me, and joining with
you 10 your rejociug bid you good evening
Then cheers we're given for the President
and particular round for ''the President S
school policy" Secretary Robson and ex-
