GALVESTON, December 0,--The CAT
weston News has the followlI K special
from Austin: G. r. Johns Il Co., bank
ers, suspended, this A. NJ. The public
was taken completely by surprise,
Their written notice to the public iu-
dictates that they expect TO pay dollar
for dollar if given time. They have
always been the foremost bankers
here, and have large number OF de-
positors Of all classes. Their large real
estate Investments have not been of a
character to realize upon promptly,
which is considered the prime cause of
their embarrassment. From an early
hour great number Of persons has
congregated about the bank. There is
no excitement, and it Is the general
belief that depostOrs will not be the
sufferers. This Is the first bank fail
ure known In this city. II their land
and money investments could be re-
allied upon, they would doubtless be-
able to resume at once.

these:

flee, and az the same time count out a
President of the United States, and
compared to which repeaters ana bal
lot suffers are harmless, he allowed to
cancel the entire votes of districts aud
counties with u stroke of the pen?
3 Shall the attempt, now stripped
of its cloak and ope4ly displayed to
defeat the will of tn people, bringing
in its train the dissolution of civil
government, the overthrow of law,
the paralysis Of business and the an-
archy OF society, be successful?
4. Shall the popular majority of more
than three hundred thousand votes In
seven millions be respected or be set
aside 10y the trckery Of partisans, sup
ported by the military power OF all ad-

composed Of office holders, drunk with

OF the United States, ignoring the de.
cision of the ballot, destroying the
spirit Of American liberty, leaving he

that the twenty first joint rule was re-

From what We eau gather the busl-
ness men will take an active part In
the next election for mayor which
takes place in April. There are many
nnanclal questions and matters OF putt

which mayor should be enabled to
give his time uninterrupted by many
matters OF routine, which are more d.
reetly within the Jurisdiction off record
er, an Office provided for by the new
charter and whose election would re.
lleye the mayor OF all of the court busl.
uess he now Is trammeled with. In
order to secure one OF our leading busi-
ness men,it will be necessary, and best
under any circumstances, that the re.
corder provided for should be elected,
aud his salary, ~ well M the mayors
fixed, without any fees. The position
OF mayor Is now worth from $1,000 to
$500 This Is not enough to make II
an object to nrst.class business man,
but II IL had nominal salary, Of say
81 600, and the recorder u salary OF
VI 800, the mayor would be left free to
give his attention to important mat
ters. In Galveston, Houston and else
where, they have recorders and the
work is thus divided aud done at less
expense to the city, The confidence Of
the people IN the present worthy N n.y.
or, was shown by his election, and we
are not advised ofany intention on his
part to be n candidate for reelection.
There will possibly DO two or three
candidates, one of whom 1t is safe to
say, will be from the leading business
