We had the pleasure OF meeting to-
day Col. Softley, OF Jefferson, Texas.
From him we learn that work has begun
on the East Line Railroad, and that 1t
will be completed this year from Jeffer-
son westward to Greenville in Hunt
county. q distance OF one hundred and
ten miles. This road Is OF great impor-
lance to Northwestern Texas, and espe-
cially to the little city Of Jefferson. The
present completed railroad lines touch
ing and passing Jefferson have done
much to deplete It's once very large
trade The East Line road will. I'M
doubtedIy, more than restore the former
importance and prosperity Of Jefferson.
The road, beginning at Jefferson, will
pass through the exceedingly rich and
rapidly developing counties of Morris,
Upshur, Camp, Titus, Franklin and
Hopkins to Greenville In Hunt. The
completion Of the road will bring an inn
mense trade to Jefferson.
The enterprise OF that little city
should be emulated by some OF our
KIeubsI GlbltS. OLA ClblItbo VI
have agreed to build twenty miles Of
the road, conditioned that the citizens
Of Jefferson donate fifty thousand dol
lars worth OF real estate and thirty
thousand dollars in money. This has
been promptly done and the road Is now
being graded. The six gentlemen have
also made a proposition to each of the
counties referred to that II they will
grade the road through their respective
territories, they. the six, will pay them
for the work In scrip Of the road, and
then furnish the iron and finish the
whole one hundred and ten miles, com
plotting the road to Sulphur Springs
Hopkins county, distance OF eighty
five miles, by the 1st OF December, and
their proposition has been accepted by
all the counties interested.
The road Is u narrow gauge and will
be a home institution, run in the in.
terests of the people. We are glad &c
hear this good news OF Jefferson, and
We expect now in the next eighteen
months to hear OF its being as flourish
ing as before the days Of railroads. AL
ready a storehouse in the city, which
for the past year or two rented for 500
per annum, is now In demand for 5000

City AGairs.

Mr.. Jonas, the City Attorney, will.in n
day or two, report on the proposition OF
the Carrollton Railroad, relative to an
exemption OF taxation in consideration
of their relinquishment Of their alleged
rights to the proprietorship Of certain
portions Of ST.. Charles avenue. etc
The opinion of the City Attorney will
be to the effect that the city cannot eg-
empt the company from taxation, even
though compromise in the matter be
advisable.
The question of the rights Of the com
pany to the roadway will also be dis
cussed, as well as their claim to an ex-
tension OF their charter beyond 1893,
which was the limit mentioned 10 the
original act of Incorporation. This ex-
tension the city has sought to discover,
but has so far failed. and in consequence
has asked for Information Of the com
pany itself as To what they base their
claim upon.
The question, which is delicate one.
deserves great scrutiny, and may entail
further litigation for once before IL has
been brought before the courts and de-
cided against the company-~tb IA, so
far as the ownership OF the strip OF
land known as st. Charles avenue (or
Naiads street, is concerned. And the
question may be whether the original
right Of way given to the Carroliton
Railroad Company was Intended TO
affect the lands In their favor beyond
the term Of their existence as a corpo-
ton.

The manufacture OF cotton goods is
steadily increasing throughout the
South, and the experiments, compared
with like industrial efforts in other sec
tions, are altogether gratifying. There
are at present 18i mills scattered
throughout the South. which run 481 ,795
spindles, and use IA, 06G bales OF cotton,
an increase OF fully 100 per cent since
1859; and all these mills, with few ia
significant exceptions, have realized
handsome profits. Still our entire ope-
rations in Gotten manufacture amount
to but an Insignificant fraction (3k per
cent OF our great Southern staple, while
the bulk OF 1t is sent abroad, to give en-
ployment to the workmen and profit to
the capitalists Of other States, foreign
and domestic.
In the number Of her cotton mills
Georgia stands first in the South, her
number OF mills being Al and her spin
dies l31. $40. Tennessee comes next

that's what Caused thu Row In the Bib-
bins Family.


1T was conversation overheard in
street car between two young ladies', "a
little scandal about Mr.. and Mrs. Bib
bins, who reside in the Garden District.
Now it appears that Mrs. Bibbins Is the
bride of six months, and her husband,
before he made up his mind to join
hands with o partner for life, was an
old bachelor. real old sorehead. and o
nan fond of his beer, staying out at
nights and such like.
few nights ago Bibbins made up his
mind to 90 out on frolic. He started
iown town, met up with his
friends, and they played cards for
he beer. and 1t was not until the old
O'Clock in the saloon chimed the hour
Ut 20 in the morning that the party
made a move for home. BY this time
Rtbbins was drunk; yes. and to use q
word more appropriate than classic,
Bibbins was beastiy drunk. He stag
gered toward home, and when about u
half a square from his residence, he sat
down upon one of his neighbors' steps
and fell asleep. The peeler, In patroling
his beat. discovered Bibbins and gently
tapping him on the Uranium, kind Of
half way sobbered him. After Juggling
Bibbins under the light OF street lamp
to see If he was a suspicious character,
discovered that he was a citizen
residing on his beat carried him to his
residence. and after bracing Bibbins up
against the door rang the bell and left.
IN few minutes Mrs, BibbiBs came
tripping down stairs and on opening the
door, to her horror, in fell Bibbins ap<
pareutly dead. Mrs. Bibbins was for
few moments horrified, she called the
servant and FASTENED her for doctor,
the physician informed her that he had
just returned from tedious eonsulta-
tion and that he would not leave the
house to save hundred Bibbins. The
servant returned and delivered her mes
sage and was again dispatched to re-
quest the presence OF the parson who
resided across the way. The parson
responded to the
summons and in few
was at the side of Bibbins
he felt his pulse and remarked that it
didn't beat worth cent. They gathered
around the limp body OF Bibbins, car
ried him up STAIRS andput him to bed
The parson remarked that he was q
very sick man and the only thing that
would save him would be to cover his
abdomen with 81 monster mustard
plaster. The plaster prescribed was
slapped on Bibbins, he slept souDdly
all that night, but the next morning
when he awoke he WAS sober and that
plaster had skinned him he tore off the
cussed thing. threw it in n corner Of
the room and bounced out Of bed.
He then started to Cuss he cussed his
wife. the whole household, and after
breaking every piece OF china about the
place, swore eternal vengeance upon
the preacher that had prescribed such
remedy for n drunken man. The next
seen of Bibbins he was going down the
street with the waistband Of his trow-
sers unbuttoned, and, with his two
thumbs, was holding out every piece Of
garment that was likely to touch the
place where the mustard plaster had
done so much damage.

The real facts of the Hamburg out
rage" are gradually coming to the sur
face. and they give it very different
complexion to that which it assumed
under the mauipulatiops OF Radical out
rage shriekers. A spurious body OF
negro militia had undertaken TO crush
out the whites in tho most bar afbarous
and murderous manner Imaginable, and
when the scheme was exposed by ne
gro who did not like to see his white
peighbors murdered, and was sup
pressed through the prompt action OF
Gen. Butler and others, then it was that
the Radical shout Of outrage ascended
TO high heaven. Had the conspirators
been successful md that they were not

or compunctions OF conscience. on their
part-the story would never have as
sumed the prominence that it has in
Radical campaign documents. This
thing Of torturing frustrated Radical
outrage into an actual Democratic one
will, Dy no means, stand the test Of
truth. When the facts are known even
the Northern heart will fail to be fired
by the fiction.

The selection OF metsbers OF the
Legislature Is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant duty before the Democratic
Conservative party. II We expect to
reap any beneficial fruits from our ri
umph in November next. We must be
certain to elect Legislature composed
Of ipcorruptible, sensible and practical
men. We have yet heard no names men
toned in this connection which will in
sure us an able, sagacious and powerful
leadership. 1t Is not possible to fill II
State Legislature with great men; but
it is possible to fill one with honest and
sensible men, and to put in two or three
men with the ability and experience for
leadership. We should by all means
select few such men from this city.
The leader or leaders OF the next
House should be men OF distinguished
ability. The highest legal ability VIII
be required to see through and olsen
tangie the web Of Ubiquitous Legislation
that has been woven In the last eight
years. and the legislation appertaininS
to our material interests will require
the advisement Of practical and far
seeing men. A few such men can dis
tinguish themselves in the next Legisla-
ture and win the gratitude OF the people
OF the whole State. We suggest that a
few such men be secured for the House
from this city by all means. If such are
selected, and they do not feel able to
neglect their practice or other business
during the session OF the Legislature,
let the substantial men OF this city raise
q fund to compensate them for their
time. The services Of some OF the
ablest and most useful men We have
ever had in the Legislature were Sc

The Radicals are beginning to encou-
rage themselves by the candidacy Of
Peter Cooper, and the votes it will prol =
ably draw from the st. Louis nominees.
This negative assistance, they imagine,
will secure the election OF the Repu5Ii-
can candidates, for they feel assured
tn at no real Republican votes will be
cast for the evenerable Peter. We opine,
however, that they have been reckoning
without their host. The probabilities
are that Cooper and Cary will draw off
quite as many votes from the Republi-
cans as from the Democrats, the general
result will, therefore, not b9 seriously
affected by the third party movement
The argument OF the Republican
theorists runs thus: Polk was elected
votes; Taylor was elected In 1913 be-
cause Van Buren took 29l 1858 OF Cass'
votes Buchanan was elected in 1856
because Fremont seriously diminished
FiIlmore's vote, and Lincoln WAS cleo
ted In 1860 because the Democratic vote
was divided between two sets Of caDdi-
dates, though 1t outDumbered by nearly
million, the total vote OF 1866, ,352 cast
for the rail-spIittiDg candidate. But
none Of these cases furnish parallel
Cooper ticket Is equally opposed to both
Of the other sets OF candidates, and will
draw equally from each.

gentlemen Of the Conference Commit
tees for their strenuous and successful
efforts toward pacifcatiop. and we com
pliment Messrs. Feruon and Edwards
upon their magnanimous relinquIsh-

The agreement is that the Fernon
party shall select the name OF q
