The siX-shooter out here is still at

on the 23d inst, was shot through a
window while engaged in a game of
cards in saloon. The ball entered
his neck, passing completely through
it. Brownly had barely time to say,

THE GALVESTON CONVENTION.

.
This very important body will meet
to-day, and doubtless pefect its organi-
cation by evening. Tomorrow the
real work will commence, and the fate
of many an eager aspirant be deter
mined. Leading men from every Sec
ton Of the State are in attendance and
the assemblage will rival the great
Convention of 1878, which placed in
nomination the present officers of the
government. We anticipate u close
struggle between Dorm and Zimple-
man for Treasurer, and tight race for
the Lieutenant- Governorship. Hub
bard, Crawford, King and Pickett will
doubtless be urged with Jealous vehe-
mence by their respective friends, but
we Imagine the lines Will be
most closely drawn between Hubbard
and the late President of the Constitu-
stional Convention.
Judge o. M. Roberts and Justice
Moore will find but little if any diff
Guilty In reseating themselves upon the
supreme bench. Texas cannot, and
will not, forget the services Of Judge
Roberts, and the bar of Texas know
that Judge Moore is u born lawyer, and
competent to fill most satisfactorily
this high office,
The selection of Judges for the Court
Of Appeals will evoke much discussion,
and will only be made after q tedious
struggle. The rivalship here is wide,
and tho contestantsand their partisans
determined. General Whitfield and
the present incumbent in the land
office will lock horns in a vigorous
tussle, In which, in all probability,
our Teutonic friend will be worsted. 90

pleasure the distinguished member OF
the Conyention from Galveston, Judge
Ballinger. His every act in that body
shows him to be a statesman, a man
incapable by nature and education, OF
descending to the quasnires and cess
pools OF demagogism, which dis
tngushes SO many, regret to say,
Of our 2c0'Hd.6G public men. Dispas-
sionate, firm and unwavering in all

that wisdom and patriotism of high

he Is man worthy Of the highest
honor that the people of Texas can be-
stow.

Tho food contains the elements of bone,
brain and muscle, and in healthy system,
properly nourished, the manufacture of these
bodily constituents is uninterrupted, night
or dny. On the other hand, when digestion
or assimilation are imperfect, the manufac-
ture Is hindered, and the destructive not be-
ing counteracted by the reparatiye processes
of Nature, the system is threatened with
early decay. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
are peculiarly fitted to overcome the causes
which lead to an untimely decadencc of the
vital energies, removing as they do all OBJ
stacles to complete digestion and assmila-
ton of the food, and restraining an undue
waste of physical substance. For the loss of
strength consequent upon depicting diseases,
they are the best possible remedy, and their
M0cing effects upon the system enable 1t to
Withstand hurtful atmospheric influences
inductive of malaria.

its source is the ford or crossing, which
is about one hundred feet wide and
from three to four feet deep; few feet
below you cannot touch the bottom.
