The Arrest of Colonel IIibbier.
[From the Yicksburg Herald j

We copied, few days since, from
the Jackson Times, paragraph in ref
erence to the recent arrest, at Dallas,
Texas, of Colonel George M. Hibbler,
formerly citizen of Coahoma county,
Mississippi. The arrest of Colonel
Hibbler was made upon the requisitios
of Governor Ames, and the oflense
with which he is charged is murder.
Since copying that paragraph our at
tention has been directed to the facts
of the case, and from all that we can
learn the killing of Felix Jones 10y Col
onel Hibbler was clear case of self
defense. The men had quarreled, had
law suit, and at a subsequent acci-
dental meeting, Jones drew his pistol
and commenced firing at Hibbler.
Then, and then only, the latter returned
the fire, and wounded Jones. Some
ten or twelve days afterwards Jones
died, but whether from the effects OF
that wound, or from disease, has never
been satisfactorily ascertained. The
war was then in progress, and Mr..
Hibbler entered the confederate army
as a high private. From that position
he rose in regular gradations to the
rank OF colonel.
When hostilities ceased he married
a highly respectable lady in Alabama,
where he made his home. Several
years since he sold his property in that
state and emigrated to Mexico, where
he invested his capital in asilver mine.
The accumulation of years was swept
away in months, and Colonel Hibbler
returned 20 the United States. He set
tied at Dallas, in Texas, and for nearly
four years has been highly respected
and most exemplary citizens of the
Lone Star state. TO show the estima-
ton in which he is held by the citizens
of Dallas and its vicinity, we make
the following extract from letter from
that place, which was published in the
writer, in speaking of the arrest of
Colonel Hibbler, says:
''Since then, say three and half
years, he has been well known in
Texas, first as a contractor on a rail-
way, then for two years as auctioneer
in this city, and lately as quietly set
tied on farm. He was widely adver-
tised here in his business, became gen.
orally known, and has been regarded
as a peaceable, go-ahead business man.
Since the war he married an estimable
and accomplished lady in Alabama,
who shared his misfortunes in Mexico
and now clings to him as only angelic
women can. While he struggled here
to recuperate his losses, she taught
music in a female academy and is
loved by all who know her. They
have an only child, girl but a few
months old, born to this sorrow. Both
Col. Hibbler and his wife have the
friendship and sympathy Of every gen.

twenty-one years-the undersigned de-
sircs to return thanks to the directory
for the honor they have done him in

that, while his connection with the pub

as heretofore, though in n different ca
pacity, to make the paper welcome

ranted in saying that no newspaper in

COTTON,

An article in a recent number of the
New York World gives a great deal OF
statistical information in regard to the
cotton supply, from which we make
the following extracts:
1.-THE total receipts of cotton at the
ports from the lst of September 1874,
to the oath of April 1875, were 3,2s4,'
706 bales, and for the corresponding
period of last year, 3,545,6l5 bales
This shows a decrease in receipts thus
far in 1875 of 260, ,9O9 bales. The total
shipments of foreign ports from the Isl
of September, 1874, 10 the present date,
amount to but 9, ,225, go bales, against
2,424, ,2l6 bales for the same period OF
last year showing a decrease in ex-
ports of 19s, ,977 bales.
AT first sight it seems surprising that
a shipment Of cotton, short by nearly
200,0 900 bales, together with the pros
pect of short receipts, from this date
until the new cotton year in Septem-
Der, as compared with the same period
of last year, should exercise so little
influence on the price of cotton at
home and abroad, for cotton is to-day
fully } cent pound cheaper in Liver
pool than last year, and p cents
a pound cheaper than in 1873. The
explanation, however, is readily found
in the dullness OF the market for cot
ton goods, and in the diminished con-
sumption of cotton by foreign as well
as by domestic mills. The shipments
from the United States to Europe from
the LIST of September, 1873, to the 26th
of April, 1874, amounted to 2,424, 4,2l6
bales. The stock of American cotton
in Europe and afoat was at that time
/, ,2I7,OO bales, showing that Europe
used from the first Of September to the
26th of April l,l77, ZIG iales Of Ameri-
can cotton.

A correspondent in McLennvn
county, Texas, informs this depart
ment that be is examining the an
nual rings on trees with reference
to the effect of very dry seasons
upon tree growth. He has theory
that a series of such seasons may
return in regular periodicity, the
discovery Of which would be of
great use to the farmer, since il
would enable him to anticipate
short crops, and, by previous sur
plus ones, prepare for them, he has
selected for his purpose the burr-oak,
on some Of which he finds the record
of the growth Of three hundred
years. So far as he has traced back
human records, he finds each very
dry season marked by rings of ex-
traordinary thinness. He is still
tracing back the records of man and
nature in the hope Of discovering
the lew above referred to.-[APril

Mr.. John w. Swindells having dis
posed of his interest in The DALLAS
HERALD, from to-day the daily an,
weekly editions of that journal will b,
issued regularly under the manage
ment of the DALLAS HERALD PRINTING
COMPANY.
In assuming control of this old and
respectable journal, which for more
than quarter of Il ccntuary has 50
worthily ministered to the moral and
intellectual wants of the people of Dal-
las and vicinity, the printing compa'
my has no other ambition than to pub
lish good newspaper, and thus to ad-
vance the moral, intellectual and ma
terial interests of this community and
state. 1t is started in the interest of
no individual or political or business
clique, and while it will be democratic,
it will be sufficiently independent
to deal with the men and measures of
the democratic party as become citi-
zens who set higher value upon the
good of the country than upon the sue
cess of party. 1t will not feel bound to
support derelct officials because they
happen to have been elected by demo-
cratic votes, nor withhold commenda-
tions, honestly earned, by officials
differing from THE HERALD in politics.
1t will advocate every measure having
for its object the moral and material
advancement of society. twill be the
'unsparing critic of official derelction,
whether municipal, county, state or
national.
There will be no compromise by
THE HERALD with crime or i'm
morality. 1t will probably have
much to say in regard to criminal
justice in this community, as upon its
proper administration depends the well
being of society and our good name
abroad, which have been seriously
compromised by recent events in our
midst. In a word, an earnest effort
will be made by the present manage
ment to render TIE HERALD n useful
and welcome visitor to the ii; eside and
the counting-house. AS this has been
undertaken with no expectation of pc
cuniary reward, we have the right to
ask of the citizens Of Dallas and those
interested in her prosperity, for
hearty and generous support.

THE present outlook for food crops
is exceedingly encouraging. 1t is well
large area of wheat in the north and
west has been destroyed by the late
frosts, and that the grasshoppers are
now laying waste the corn fields in
Missouri, Kansas, and other western
states. Too much attention can not be
given to corn, wheat and oats, for it is
more than probable that the south will
be called on to export these articles, in

Now let us return to the present
cotton year We sent TO Europe from
the lst of September, 1874, to the 2Gtl
Of April 1875, 2,225, $50 bales Of cotton
On the 2Gth Of April the stock o
American cotton in Europe and alloat
was l., ,ll2, 600 bales, showing that Eu
rope consumed 93,077 bales less OF
American cotton during this period o
nearly eight months than during the
same period Of the previous year. In
other words the unusual stagnatlon oi
trade In cotton fabrics made our short
shipment-short by nearly 100000
Dales-less felt than ii would have been
il the ordinary amount OF business had
been done. But dull rs the cotton
trade of Europe has been, with con
sumption short by nearly 100000 bales
in eight months, il is nevertheless true
that the visible supply of American
cotton in stock in Europe and ailOnt is
diminished by some 10000 bales, rs
compared with the same period OF last
year. And it is but reasonable to as
sumo that should there he merely an
indication of n revival of trade in cot
ton fabrics in Europe, which will
naturally run chiefly on the American
staple, the short supply from here
would mt once be felt.
The present cotton crop was over-es-
timated by 100000 bales or more, for it
was NJ one time supposed that the sup
ply would reach 1888, 900 bales, where
as the most sanguine now reduce these
figures to !, 3,75O, 900 or to 3, 100000 bales.
1t follows, therefore, that the hopes for
Il plentiful supply of cotton during the
last four months of the present calen-
dar year depend entirely on the new
crop, half of which is not yet In the
ground. The vicissitudes of the new
crop will therefore be watched with
great interest. If revival of trade
should set in here and in Europe, not
only an average, but n plentiful crop
for the year 1916 would he required to
make good the comparatively moder-
ate supply now on hand"
