One Man KILLED AND Two WOUNDED NEAR
OLD GRAYsoN COURTHOUSE gentleman
from Grayson county furnishes us the iol.
lowing details of the killing Of Mr.. John
Hawks and the wounding of Mr.. Gaully
Hawks and another man whose name he
had forgotten:
On Sunday morning last about O'Clock
general row occurred at Harris's house, near
old Grayson Courthouse, during which Mr..
John Hawks was shot and killed. Dir.
Gaully Hawks, a brother of John, was shot
in the back and severely wounded while en-
deavoring to escape from the house. The
third man (whOse name our Informant had
forgot was also wounded in attempting to
get away from HarriS's residence. 1t seems
that one man did all the shooting, while
those who were the victims were unarmcd,
or mt least, did not return the fire OF their
sssaant. A man named Todd, it is sup
posed, did the shooting and an old grudge-
family feud, perhaps-waS the cause. The
parties have been arrested.
TWENTY-FIVE men have been killed and
thirty wounded in GraysOn county IN the
last twenty years WyheciHe Dispatch,

DEATH OF An EMINENT JuRlsT AND EDrroE.
LONDON. February 11.-Right Hon, Sir
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1876-08-17

Mr.. Hovey, In his remarks at the meeting
OF the school trustees last Tuesday evening,
made considerable ado over the fact that an
effort Is being made to secure the removal of
some OF the members OF the board. In his
whine on this branch OF the subject, Mr..
Hovey Is not likely TO get much sympathy
from the public. In this country the people
are sovereigns. Tue OH holders were not
intended 10 be the masters OF the people, but
their servants, TO carry out their Will. So
long as they do this there Is no trouble; but
when they fail to do so, or make themselves
obnoxious, whether by inefficiency or Cor
Iupt practices, IL is both the right and the
duty OF the people TO get rid OF them. This
is the principle applied 10 all public offices.
from the Presidency down, and we are NOT
aware OF any sacred quality attaching to the
position OF SCHOOL trustee which should ex-
empt IL from the application OF SO healthy a
rule.
Under the circumstances, the wise and
proper thing TO be done by these gentlemen
VINO have forfeited the confidence and re-
spect OF the public is to quietly step down
and out; but since they fail to do so they
must not complain IL the people Ia ke the
matter 30 their own hands. What becomes
OF Mr.. Thompson is a small matter, except
10 HIMSELF what becomes OF our public
schools and OF the right OF the people to ex-
press and exercise their own will, is every
thing.

Hon. Scott Lord and his political friends
In Congress were probably good deal sur
Irised this morning TO see with what prompt
ness and vigor the Secretary OF War proposes
TO carry out the resolution they passed las {
week looking TO the protection OF voters In
The states lately in Instruction. Yet they
Gould hardly have expected anything else.
There must be a need for such q measure or
1t would not have been suggested and passed
b. Congress; and, with this official notice of
a angerous condition OF things existing in
that section, the administration could not
do otherwise than take the necessary steps
10 correct them by an enforcement OF the

The yearly swindle known as the river and
tarbor appropriation bill is coming In for a
good deal OF deserved denunciation, and IL
Low looks as If the members OF Congress
Who have been wont TO plead SO pathetically
fer liberal slice OF the steal, will a few
y'srs hence plead In vain. The Presidents
course In respect 10 vetoing this measure,
While unusual, Is pretty generally conceded
10 De just and sensible. The New York Ere
s.i,'9 Post takes the view that this bill is
largely not mandatory but discretionary In
Its terms, and that the President is right TO
avail himself OF the privilege which the law
clearly gives him. 1t adds: sit Is to be
hoped that we have seen the last OF the river
and harbOr appropriations under the old aud
vicious system. There may be honest differ-
ence OF opinion on the question whether the
federal government ought 10 pay for work of
This kind at all; but there can be no honest
difference OF opinion in respect to the prac-
tice OF making such appropriations to serve
merely political and personal ends"

We observe that the Centennial tourists
Just now happen 10 be the subject of exag-
Rerated sketches by a number OF would be
smart washington correspondents. We un-
dertake 70 say that very few Ii any OF the
thousands who have visited our city this
centennial year would be recognized BIZ
these pen pictures OF them. But IL the ma.
Jointly OF them do wear linen busters and car
~ carpet Gags, as alleged, II is not to their
discredit. They are trying TO live honestly
even II they have TO live humbly. Suppose
they do eat their frugal lunches on the steps
OF our granite faced department buildings:
VINO have a better right than these very peo-
PIE, who paid for them from foundation to
roof? And who, In Washington at least,
shall say that they are of little profit to the
cities they visit, even II the hotel keepers do
frown upon them? II they are proud, as they
well may be, of the nations prosperity as
illustrated at the Centennial, they will also
doubtless feel pride In the growing beauties
OF the capital city, which is theirs as we'll
rs ours Frenchmen are proud OF Paris,
EDglishmen OF London, Germans OF Berlin,
Italians OF Rome, and so on through the list;
but until lately Washington has been "a by
word and reproach." This happily is now
Al an end. No American sees the city
without expressing miration of the gran.
ceur OF the public buildings, the glorles OF
The parks, the elegaD ,e OF the residences,
and The beauty OF the wide and shaded
streets, and al these ing added to year by
year. With this feeltn ever alive through
out the country we will no longer suffer from
Congressional neglect and Indifference.
Besides, the linen clustered granger Is a voter.
