a Leavesworth is again complaining be-
cause there was nobody in Congress to labor for
an appropriation for building Uunited States
Court Houss and Post Office in that city. When
ever Leavsnworth has Q candidate for Congress
man or Senator, the most bitter and violent op-
position to him comes from Lsavenworth men
who claim to be leaders Of public opinion. Four
different times, in the last twelve years, Lsav-
enworth has lost . United States Senator because
of personal opposition and hatred to the candi-
dates; and yet she complains that she has NO
one to represent her interests.

q The papers are complimeutingJ s.. Gilmore,
Of the FIedonis Citizen, for his efficient work in
the Legislature in behalf of justice aud right to
ward tho printing fraternity. He made good
member in every respect, and has reason to be
proud of bis first Legislative record. But the
House, at almost every session. contains . ma
jority Of galoots who seem to like nothing better
than slash at printers wages; and perhaps
those most active in this business, are those who
have had the most assistance from printers in
securing an election to q position for which they
were unfit. The Senate, on the other hand, u.s.
ually contains a majority of men who know what
is right and just, and act in accordance with
that knowledge. Messrs. Long and Tracy, men,
bers of the House from the First and Second
Districts, in this Couty, did not belong to the
galoot crowd above referred to. But when ma
jority of Legislature il composed of wild Texas
cattle, the fair and sensible men arc powerless,
and unjustly have to bear portion Of tho blame
for the Incompetence and folly of the majority.

The statement OF the condition OF
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
published elsewhere In our columns,
will be read with interest at time
when distrust In regard to all great
business enterprises seems to have
taken hold of the public mind. Here
we have the best Of testimony, in be-
half of one Of the largest and most
prosperous life institutions in the
world. This testimony comes from
the New York Insurance Superintend.
ent and Policy.holders Committee,
after most searching and exhaustive
examination, occupying aperiod Of
over two months and half. As will
be seen, the Equitable has increased
her asset over two and a half million
dollars, and surplus about one million,
and her entire assets amounts to nearly
thirty-two million dollars, and surplus
five and half million dollars, and
that too, after paying during 1876, to
policy.holders, In the way Of death
claims, endownents and surrender
values over five million dollars, besides
the necessary expenses required III the
conduct of such colossal institution
like the Equitable. The general office
for the State Of Texas, is over the old
City Bank building, corner Elm and
and Lamar streets, under the manage
ment OF s. l.. May and I. J. Drane.
