The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-06-01

The CITY CHARTER. the pro-
posed city charter is generally good docu-
ment it contains few sections which are
dangerous.
Article five, section two, authorizes the
city to carry debt hot exceeding two per
cent. upon the assessed valuation of its real
and personal property, except by two
thirds vote, ordered by the mayor, giving
thirty days notice. With a two-thirds vote
it may create and carry any amount of debt
exceeding two per cent. on property values.
This provision is dangerous one when
considered in connection with section Al of
the same article, which provides that a
board of appraisers shall assess all property,
and that their decision "shall be final"
A little sauce is thrown out In the same
section to the property holder, who is
promised the right to be "heard," but
never word is said about his protestatlons
being needed. An apparently soothing
ointment is also laid on the excited nerves
of the taxpayer by promising in this same
versatile section that :" the city council
shall have power to revise any and all as
sessments made by the city assessor and
collector" This looks inviting ana fair.
and would lead the superficial observer to
think great concessions would be made,
but there is no chance, since the assessors
lists can be raised by the board of APP
pralsers, and from them there is no
appeal. And then the mayor
shall appoint these appraisers, and, accord
ing to his conception, should there be
money needed, and raising the value of
property would allow him the sale of more
bonds, then he would be very apt to APP
point such appraisers as would give him
the privilege.
Austin has enough debt now. If it
should need moned at any time let it be
raised by direct and immediate taxation
The plan of issuing bonds Is condemned,
and corporations that look to their protec-
ton will never more resort to the evil prac-
tice. The STATESMAN will, from time to
time, discuss the Objectionable portions of
| the proposed charter.

and the inv ntion as stupid as it is

must take a gloomy view of their

desperate expedients. They do not

TlLDEN.S ELECTORS.

Can it be possible, after his expe-
rjence in the South Carolina COntin-
gent, that Colonel Blanneahasset dis
agrees with Tilden's opinion that
"the war is failure?" Can Mayor
Currie restrain a sense Of calm delight
at being named an eleclor in behalf
Of Hon. Tom Hendricks. the Com
mander- in chief of the Knights of the
Golden Circle in Indiana? Can Mr..
Hagerman repress a feeling of graft
tude to Little Sam Tilden for express
ing the opinion that the invasion OF
the Sacred soil of Virginia by Yankee
soldiery was an outrage?

WREN AND ELLIS.

In 1861 when the rebels made war
upon the Flag of the Union, Tom
Wren rallied to that flag and raised
his voice in support Of the cause
which sustained in the midst OF
trouble and peril, the administration
Of Abraham Lincoln.
In 1861, when armed insurgents
sought to take Missouri out Of the
Union, Adrian c. Ellis took arms in
aid of that reasonable movement.
When, in 1861, Nevada became
State of the Union, Tom Wren had
vote and cast it in favor Of the re
election of Abraham Lincoln who was
devoting all the energies Of patriotic
nature to the prosecution OF the war
against the rebels ofthe South, Adrian
C. Ellis was lending the assistance oil
a disfranchised rebel to effect the cleo
ton of George Is. Mcclellan to the
Presidency of the United States.
Wren's whole heart and soul were
in the cause of Liberty and Union.
Ellis risked his life in support of dis
union and Confederacy whose cor
ner stone was to be African slavery.
Tom Wren is proud OF his own and
his party's record.
Ellis wants by cones to be 10y
cones.
Wren's party amnestied Ellis.
Shall amnestied Ellis be seated
alongside his rebel comrades on the
floor of the House of Representatives.
and Tom Wren be invited to stay at
home?

say that the American people are not

TAMNANY VS.. TILDEN.

The opposition led by John Kelly
AGAINST Tilden at ST. Louis has not all
been smOoihed away. 1.-The Anti
Tammany-ites," says late Herald,
contend that Tammany does not
want union, because she is at heart
opposed to Tiiden, for the reason that,
if he should be elected, the new PGesi-
dent would be able, through the Gus
tom House and other federal depart
ments, to organize q local party of his
own choosing, that would as effectu-
ally snuff TamInany out of power and
influence as political organization as
the Custom Honse magnates under
the present administration have sue
ceeded in keeping the independ. II
Republicans out in the cold for years.
knowing this fact, say the anti-Iam-
many people. Tammany Hall will, III
an underhand way 'cut Tilden at the
polls. AS local organization, they
add, TammaDy has nothing to lose
with a republican President in power,
inasmuch as she has nothing to hope
for from q democratic President who
could not forget the bitterness with
which he was assailed by the Tam
many leaders at the 81. Louis ConVen-
ton. In point of fact the anti-Tam-
many leaders claim that Tammany,
assured that she cannot rule If Iiiden
should be elected. las determined to
ruin whatever chances he has to carry
this State in November. Therefore it
ia ! part Of her plan to keep the demo-
Gratis divided among themselves" To
the above statement the Herald adds
the following instance of Tammany
man who is opposed to Tilden. Says
that paper:
A circumstance which goes far to
confirm the statement made in the be-
ginning Of this article with respect to
the hostility of Tammany Hall toward
Mr.. Tilden was related yesterday TO a
Herald reporter by Mr.. John Eagan,
who keeps q grocery store at the cor
ner of EOrty-secODd street and Third
Avenue, and who has been actively
identified with the local democracy for
thirty-six years. This gentleman
states that while lie was standing in
the office Of the Southern Hotel, i'll ST.
Louis the night Mr.. Tilden was NOM
mated, talking with number OF gen
tlemsn from this city, Major W. IL.
Quincy. Order of Arrest. Clerk in the
Sheriff,s office, and friend Of John
Kelly, entered the room and annOun-
ced that Mr.. 1iIden had Just been
nominated. The party seemed glad to
hear it and none seemed more deligh
ted than Mr.. Quincy. "Hurrah,"
said he, "that nomination means that
HAYES is elected" Mr.. Pagan relates
that Major Quincy declared last week
while conversing with group of &C
quantaincas, in the rotunda of the
Court House, that he had grave doubts
in his mind whether Mr.. Tilden would
carry this State. In his public speech
Mr.. Quincy declares the election OF
Mr.. Tilden foregOne conclusion.

POLITICS ON TIE PACIFIC
COAST.

The San Francisco Post of Tuesday
makes the following well considered es-
innate of the political chances in the
States of the Pacific:
The Secretary o. the State Republican
Committee has heard from all counties,
and from every town of Importance III
the State. Up to date 166 Hayes and
Wheeler Clubs have been organized, and
many others are being formed. From
all Democratic localities the report is OF
large Republican gains, while from the
assured Republican sections there Is
promise of an increased vote. Not a
single person known as an Independent
in past divisions is reported as likely to
vote for Tilden and Hendricks. Reports
from Yolo county. always strongly Dem
ocratic, claim prospective Republican
victory. There seems little reason to
doubt McKenna's success. A very
active canvass has begun in his district
Sonoma county sends words Of encour-
agement. 1t is noticed everywhere that
business men, no matter what their past
affiliations, are found attending Repub-
lican meetings. The same is true Of
yOuIlS uIcu SuotADS 'hN'A AA'N
Presidential ballot. In this city and in
Oakland there is every cause for encour-
agement The Hayes Invincibles num-
Der $500, and there are constant acces-
sions. The Veteran Guard is increasing.
and the several ward and local clubs are
large and enthusiastic. The party is
united, while the opposition Is divided.
Similar reports are received from Nevada.
The receut State Convention showed. 1t
is stated by gentlemen who were present,
that the prospects are fully as encourag-
ing as were to be expected. Nevada S
electoral vote will be cast for Hayes and
Wheeler. The same hope is felt as to
Oregon. Letters from that State received
within few days make careful estl-
mate, and show small majority for the
Republican nominees The division be-
tween Republicans and Independents Is
healed, and the party will present
united front. Representative Lane re-
Gently claimed that he would receive 500
more votes than Tilden and Hendricks
Allowing that he does, it is doubtful If
the Democratic majority will reach that
figure. Well informed Republicans deny
that Mr. Lane will be reelected, which
is a denial of victory for the entire Dem
ocratic ticket. There is every reason for
encouragement. and reasonable hopes
are entertained of carrying the entire
eighteen electoral votes of the Pacific
States for Hayes and Wheeler.

P1UTE TROUBLES. On the 10th inst,
at Ira z. Hale's ranch in Fish Lake Val
ley, a young Piute. called Owens River
Joe, killed an old Indian known as Nc.
Bormack's Sam. The killing was done
at about half past O'Clock IN the even
ing, the weapon used being pistol. At
about daylight the next morning the sam Q
Joe killed another Piute called Jim Iank
at Harrell's ranch. If these killings had
been done by whites. they would be
called murders, but the Piutes seem to
have q sort of fendetta system in thei-
tribal code which admits O. vengeance
years after the injury. We are told that
some two years ago a Piute died In Fish
Lake Valley, and in pursuance OF time
honoIad custom among them, the doctor
was killed because his patient died. The
Indians whom Owens River Joe shot are
brothers, and they two, with another
brother called Big Mouth Jim, participant
ed in the killing of the doctor. Joe is said
to be nephew of the sagebrush 'E1scula-
peus whom the brothers sent to the happy
hunting grounds, and this is his method
of balancing justice after lapse OF years.
Big Mouth jim s feelings may be said to
border on the nervous BoraA Miner.

so that he b!ed from his left ear and nose.
The wounded man was picked up uncon-

Keenan, on West Front street, where every
attention was paid him by that lady. A
physician was called who dressed the

patient would die. The father of the
wounded man who resides at Gloucester, N.
