A Lawyers OpIuion of the Land

Editors Democratic Statesman - In
your columns of Sunday last, R. sug-
gests that the Governor should have
caused an injunction to be sued out,
restraining the Commissioner from is
suing the certificates on the river con-
tracts; and " h lie he seems to be learned
in the law as it was aforetime, he lg-
nores the stern fact that the time
honored rule which eDjoined or man
damused the Commissioner, as tho
facts of the case T, quired, has been set
at .aaught, and the officers of the ex-
ecutive department placed majestically
above such remed es. The juEisdic-
ton to eDi lin and to mandanus the
Commissioner were placed on an equal
footing by the Supreme Court of the
United States, sustaining the right to
grant the one upon the precedents
already established by granting the
other Davis v, Gray, 1G Wall y; bu;
since such precedents have all been
overruled, it would be as futile to talk
of enjoining or nandamusing an Off
Ger upon their authority, rs it would
be foolish to make a legal argument
before one of our courts in the C4stil
ian language because it was once
the vulgar tongue of the country.
Political revolution swept away the
one and judicial decisions the other,
and nothing short of bold legis
latlon, changing the organic law of the
State, and returning to common sens ,,
will remedy the evil fol, ted upon the
people by the obstinate pursuit of alb
stract ideas suggested by party and
political prejudice. The Governor
well knew, that under recent rulings,
no mandamus would lie to coerce the
Commissioner, should he obey tho
executive behest, and that the citizen
would then utterly fail to get his land
certificates, regardless of right. This
time, however, the prophets answer i
given, ''thou art the man" upon
whom the new Iule falls heavily now
fer a survey of the land and return oil

owner such title as will sustain him
in the enjoyment of the estate, and

His Excellency should Immediately

jects, to adopt amendments to the Con
stitutlon and to provide for the Gesig

THE National Cotton Exchange has
designated Austin as one of the inte-
rior cities from which dispatches of
the cotton movement are desirable
once a week, Crying receipts, exports
(shipments) and stock. The secretary
of the board of trade is requested to
send to the secretary of the Galveston
Exchange, every Friday morning, by
10 o'clock, by telegraph, airport of the
receipts and shipments for the proceed
ing week and the stock that day,
whence it will be transmitted to Nsrth-
ern and Eastern and Liverpool e.
changes. Austin will hereafter be
brought to the direct notice of the
world as cotton port. This is one
of the results of the organization
of the board of trade. A correct re.
port Of the receipts of cotton for the
week will be more difficult to make up
here than at any other point where cot
ton is brought in only by water or rail,
from the fact that most Of The cotton
shipped is brought in by wagons and
there is no way of ascertaining how
much is imported, unless by making
inquiry directly to the merchants. The
secretary of the board will be materially
aided in making up his reports if be is
assured of the cooperation of cotton
buyers as it would be useless to make
imperfect or incorrect reports. Some
concert of action should be had in the
matter at once.

The dispatches Friday announced
the appointment of Robt. f. Camp
bell, OF this city, revenue collector Of
this, the third district, vice Mr.. Brews-
ter, removed. Mr.. Campbell, it will
be remembered, held the Office before,
but resigned . few months since be-
cause, as he said, the office was not
worth having. However he has re-
considered and now thinks it worth
taking in. Various charges, we hear,
have been sen. to Washington against
Mr.. Brewster, setting forth that he was
not citizen either of the district or OF
the State, and that his depu
tics were all non-residents of Texas,
and that general confusion and incom.
potency characterized the admInistrG-
tion of his Office. 1t is more probable,
however, that Mr.. Brewster was not
removed because of the charges made
against him, but rather that Mr.. Camp
bell was appointed because he had been
requested to resign the office few
months ago when there was no cause
or reason 90 which said request was
based. Verify, the ups and downs Of
life with the ofliceholders and office
seekers are many.

To DRIVE AWAY RATs.--A lady
writer, IN u recent number of New
YORK journal, discourses in the follow
ing style concerning her treatment of
rats and mice; I'VE cleared our
premises of these detestable vermin by
making a whitewash yellow with cop
peras, and covering the stones .and
rafters of the cellar with thick coat
ing Of it. In every crevice where a rat
might tread we put crystals of the cop
peras, and scattered the same In the
corners of the floor. The result was q
perfect stampede of rats and mice.
Since that time not a football of either
rat or mouse has been heard about the
house Every spring a coat of the yell
low wash is given TO the cellar, as
purifier, as well as a rat exterminator,
and no typhoid, dysentery or fever at
lacks the family. Many persons DELHI
erately attract all the rats IN the neigh
borhood by leaving fruits and vegeta-
bles uncovered in the cellar; and some.
times even the soapScraps are left open
for their regalement. Cover up every
thing eatable in the cellar and pantry,
and yon will soon drive them out"

LAMPAsAs, July 90.

scription of the LImpasas springs. !
will now tell something about the ap-
preaching fair, which opens August
21y and lasts three days. 1t is the
chief topic of conversation here, and
will be the best exhibition, and the
most largely attended, of any held in
this portion of the State. The man.
agement of the association has been
good. Governor Hubbard and Hon.
w. w. Lang will each deliver address

be balloon ascension. The purses of
fered are very liberal both for running
and trotting stock, and liberal prem
iums are offered IN all the departments.
have visited the fair grounds, which
are situated about three quarters of a
mile from the public square and three
or four hundred yards from the famous
Hancock sulphur springs, N beauti-
full valley on the bank of Sulphur
creek. The mile track belonging to
| the Associate n is one of the best in
| the State. This fact has become gen.
orally known, and letters have been re-
ceived here from the leading stock
men of different parts of the State in
curing in regard to accommodations
for themselves and stock during the
far. The citizens are taking an active
interest in the fsir, aud will see that
all who come are accommodated. For
age of every kind is plenty and cheap,
and there is an abundance of water
on the q ound I'd plenty of stables.
On the first day OF the fair the grounds
will be free to the Changers and the
second day to Sunday school children.
Persons wishing to attend the fair
from Austin should secure rooms here
before starting, which will save them
a great amount of trouble and make it
much more pleasant. By leaving Aus
tin on the o'clock train in the morn
ing, for Round Rock, and taking ore
of Mr.. Wrights four horse co:ch at
the depot, Llmpasas will be reached
in twelve hours. This is the best and
most desirable route. Austin is we'll

are with the men. Every dollar No
by railroad companies over and ABB e
running expenses is packed of aud
locked up in Wall street banks or in
vested in United States bonds, and in
this way millions are drained from all
the States and taken out of circulation.
Let 1s estimate, TO get some idea of
the good that is to come out Of the
strike, that there are 100, 900 men en-
ployed by railroad companies in the
United States, and that everywhere
their increased pay will amount to
$40 a month, and certainly this is
very small estimate after the many
reductions ia their wages that have
taken place 10 the past two or three
years. Here, then, we have 81 900, 900
that will every month go into the pock-
cts of 100, 600 men, and from them
into the hands of others, in place of
going into the vaults of railroad COM
panles, or into the government safes at
Washington. This is no small amount
of money to be every month withdrawn
from circulation, and to the immediate
sufferers it is hardship which it is
surprising should have been borne so
long. Let US hope that the great strike
will result IN much good to the whole
country.

Ladies, it seems, have for some time
past been in doubt whether, in les 5as
rdyes, the stripes should run down or
around the stocking. This import
ant problem" says fashionable con-
temporary, has been set at rest by the
new fashion of embroidered stockings,
in which the foundation is either pink,
blue or salmon, and the long instep is
worked and studded with buds, flow
ers and miniature foliage" See how
smoothly the dear creatures have ar
ranged this pezata qasstio, aud yet there
are cynics who affirm that women art
incapable of taking part in politics OF
of managing the Affairs OF an empire.
Had the settlement of this vexed
question been left to our deluded
ideas we would have been led to decide
in favor of stripes up and down for sub
stantial legs. and stripes around fol
the unsubstantial ones.

RAILROAD SrRIKEs.-The happy ter

If thereports be true that the emp oyee's
salaries have been raised twenty-five
per cent, will be hailed with satisfac-
ton by four~ffths of the business men

follow railroading for living, subject
to all the hardships and dangers of that
life, deserve to be well paid, and as
their wages had within the past three
years been cut down thirty per ceat.,
it was but right-that they should have
an increase. and that they should have
some guarantee that hereafter they
should be paid promptly once month,
and not be compelled 70 sell their sc
counts to ''ring masters" and saarperl

ANOTHER MEXICAN OUTRAGE. -
From Capt. Wade HamptoR, a citizen
Of Seguin, and a distant relative of the
present distinguished governor of
South Caroline, we learn of the afro
cious murder Of Lee Rabb, at Petrono' e
Rancho, Nueces county, on the twenty
fifth instant, by Mexicans. Mr.. Rabb
was the son of Mrs. Martha A. R4bb,
of Nueces county, who, on account of
her boundless pastures and numberless
herds of cattle, is known as the Cat
tie Queen of Texas" in contradistinc-
zion to Dick King of the same section.
Capt. Hampton, who received tele-
graphic information Of this sad event
yesterday, is stopping at present in
this city with his young and accom-
plished wife, who is sister of the de.
ceased. They are in great distress
over the loss of one so near and dear
to them, and have the sympathy OF the
community.
