A feuj of not very long standing has
existed in Lampasas county between n

family of the name of IIorrel Several
pei sons on each side have been killed.
The Higgins party is perhaps the largest
in the number of its family connections
but many friends have rallied to the

those Immediately concerned on the
Higgins side, are admitted 10 be very
resolute, active and dangerous lighting
men. Tine two parties recently met at
Lsnpasas springs, when a tight occur
red, and one ON each side was killed
and others wounded. Major Zones, Of
the frontier battalion, has for some
time been endeayoring to compose their
difficulty and restore peace. He lately
found 1t necessary to make arrests OF
the leading men ON each side, and final
IL mas effected peace. He thinks the
men are disposed TO respect the treaty
made, as they are brave, and should be
honorable as well as brave. Arrests

he says: "Under a uniform ruling OF
the Postoffice Department, the right

to forward their mail to another

at once redirect such letters and re-
turn them to the carrier, in which
case they may be forwarded without
additional charge; but If the carrier
is allowed to leave them at the hotel,
or if they are taken out of his pres.

CONGRESS has been two months in
session and the democracy of the
House have been chiefly engaged, so
far as passing any bills is concerned,
in taking back their hypocritical econ
omy fithe last Congress. Preceding
the Presidential contest they cut down
ON needed appropriations and called
it economy, a saving, and went be-
fore the people on this claim. Du.
ring the two months of this session
the democracy have wiped out near
ly all their savings in deficiency ap.
preparation bills. In passing the sill.
yer bill the House has done well. Ii
pushing the repeal of the date of re-
sumption, they touched upon ques'
ton for which there was no call al
this time. This is a subject that may
or may not need any legislative action
after the reconciliation of silver
months hence. The Senate has done
but little else than struggle for polit'
ical ascendency therein, and to hold
protracted executive sessions on the
nominations of the President.
Notwithstanding the extreme con
ciliatory policy of the President
there has not been from first to last
during the session, one single particlf
of the spirit of Cancellation exhibited
by the democratic members. They
have stood as tenaciously by party
ties as they ever did in the history o.
the party. In seating Patterson, O
Colorado, over Belford, they did a
unwarrantable an act as was eye
done by the partythis side of treason
The party has given aid to the Presi
dent on some of his nominations, blu
it was only done because they though
thereby to stab to its death, the re
publican party.

Selling Postage stamps ILLEGALLY.
The following item will be of inter-
est 10 postmasters who have been sell
ling stamps illegitimstely, so as to in
crease their salaries:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The post
Office department has information
that the case of the alleged improper
sale of stamps by the postmaster at
Stockton, Mass, which was carried
before the United States Supreme
Court at Portland, as a test case, has
resulted in the conviction and SEN
tence of j. f. Erie, the postmaster.
Judge Fox is reported as holding
that under the present postal laws
postmasters making illegal sales Of
stamps by discount or exchange fol
goods, can be punished. The depart
ment will take advantage Of this fac
TO prosecute other postmasters guilty
of like offenses.
We have heard of postmasters- il
the smaller Offices selling postage
stamps for goods. This has beer
practiced, we suppose, by reason o
the fact that in small offices, the post
masters get sixty per cent. of thei
sales. We ascertained, some TIVE
years ago that harness was purchas
ed in this city with postage stamps
The case was reported. We will say
however, that we have never heart
Of such case among the postmaster
Of this county. 1t is all wrong ant
we publish an account of the case il
, Maine, that all parties interested ma.
} take notice of what may be the con
r sequences.

There are clouds Of witnesses to
testify to the reign of peace through
out the South. A correspondent of
the Summit (Miss.) Times writes
"In conversation last week with
several prominent citizens from the
southeastern portion of Amitie coun-
ty find the bull.dozers' organization,
as it is called, is still going on. One
gentleman reported-and this report
was substantiated by other prominent
gentlemen-to this effect: That last
week several men came at night to
negroes living on his place, and after
treating them very roughly, such as
whipping, breaking their crockery,
scattering and wasting corn, etc, gave
them orders to leave the country, say
ing they chad no use for them there /;
they should not work for man who
had credit on the railroad or in the
city," etc. A portion of the report
as to the treatment of some of the fe-
males is too shocking to be published
in your modest paper. These gentle
men also state that these negroes

names, or to testify or make oath
against them, saying they had special
orders that they would be killed if
they did. If the proprietor on whose
place these desperate acts have been
committed takes stand in favor of
these laborers, to protect them, the
probability is that he will be badly
treated. Where is the end Can it
be stopped? If go, how and where?

It will be remembered that the
Mississippi mob that massacred the
Chisholm family claimed that they
did 20 because Judge Chisholm insti-
gated the murder of one John w.
Gully. There never has been any
proof OF the charge. On the 7th OF
this month one Walter Riley was ex.
ecuted ct Scooba, Kemper county
Mississippi, for the murder of one
Dobbs. Riley was also guilty, by his
own confession, of the murder OF
Gully, and every effort was made to
have him declare that Judge Chisholm
insdgated him to that act. For over
N hour he was questioned while he
stood ON the gallows. Every one in
the crowd who saw fit, questioned
him by turns, and urged him in the
face of death to tell about the matter.
He repeated over and over that Judge
Chisholm had nothing TO do with it,
and died with this declaration on his
lips.-State Regisker.
