The Waco Register of the 10th inst.
contains the following account Of
most daring mail and stage robbery,
which took place about eight miles from
Waco, on the Gatesville route, on the
18th inst:
One man committed the entire rob-
berry. Approaching the stage with pis-
toll drawn he compelled the driver to
cut the straps Of the mail sacks and the
four or five passengers TO hand over
their money. lie took the four or five
registered packages, leaving the rest Of
the mail undisturded. The stage pur.
sued its onward way after the robbery.
Sheriff Ross. on being informed OF the
robbery, promptly dispatched two dep
uty officers to the scene, but we learn
OF no arrest or discoveries up to the
present writing. The suspicion that
some OF the passengers were in the plot
to rob seems to be unfounded. A relia-
BILE gentleman Of this city knows all

Ingersoll sneers at the policy of the
Administration. His friends say there

his printed speeches made in the cam

great victory are being fooled away, In
his estimation 1t Is time to burn his
brilliant campaign speeches and other
priceless campaign documents.

postotlices are gone up the spout, as

pointments are turned over to the ten

politicians. They are rampant for the
spoils for their friends and co.workers,
and anrgy and disappointed because
their influence here Is not so nigh as
they thought IL was. Ingersoll didn't
want an office for himself-that Is not
what Is the matter; but he does not
like the style OF the new Administra-
ton, so to speak. The manner Of do
ing business under Grant was more sat-
isfactory to him. He regards the great
work OF the Republicans In the cam

Mr.. Ingersoll IL not alone in his dis
gust, but he swears more about 1t than
some OF the rest. Simon Cameron Is
not only disguised but he is annoyed.
It Is sad business all around. A lot

greeable noises. They feel to say that

THE INDEPENDENT VOTER
He Triumphs Under Hayes and the APP
pOintment of schurZ.
TBoston Herald

boston Herald
BOSTON, March 10.-The appointment
Of Schurz, Evarts, Devens and Key to
Cabinet offices Is new departure which
may well cause the old-liners to open
their eyes. We should not have ex-
pected so much of Bristow. We should
not have expected much more Of Tilden,
who would have made his Cabinet
strongly independent. The appoint
ment or Schurz is the jolliest go. He is
the independent voter himself. His
lecture Of last season, entitled "Centen-
NAL Thoughts" was the most drastic
dose ever presented to a political party.
In it he gave a scathing, pitiless de-
scription Of our civil service, and pre-
scribed remedy of the most radical
character. President Hayes says that
he means that the ideas Mr.. SchurZ
holds on civil service reform shall be
tried during his administration. We
venture to guess that Mr.. Schurz had
assurances of this before he decided to
support Hayes for President. No Won
der his nomination alarms the average
politician, who believes in the Infamous
political doctrine, to the victors belong
the spoils.

An exchange says, our trips into
many of the counties of West Virgin
ia during the summers of re and N
have impressed us with the belief
that n more Independent people can
not be found anywhere than in that
State. We have travelled great
deal in what are considered the best
portions of our country, passing over
the famous praries and residing in
the land ofgold, but we are constrain-
to pronounce the hills and wales Of
our rough mountain State as surpass'
ing all, its.resources of comfort, thrift
and wealth. A person has only tc
visit a little among her fertile hill;
filled with the finest coal, and rich
valleys, to be convinced that the peo
pie of West Virginia are the most
extravagant livers to be in all the
whole country. Call at the hum5lest
hut and remain to family meal anc
you will be absolutely astonished tt
witness the abundance of everythinG
placed before you. You are compell
ed to think that these people mus
live to eat.
They are a kind, hospitable people
The great need is more education
n higher culture. This is beginning
to be felt to a very considerable de
gree. Parents are beginning to real
ize the Importance of giving their
sons and their daughters better op
portunities than they enjoyed.

Thc Fairs 1l,e Farmers, school.

The american Agricuitualists says
hundreds of letters come to us yearly,
asking about things which are fully
exhibited at the Agricultural Fairs
every fall. A farmer who observes
the live stock, implements, machines
and other interesting objects at these
exhibitions, and makes n study of
them, will gain much valuable infor-
nation. Those who attend the fairs,
with their goods anu livestock, are
pleased to have them seen and ex-
amined. 1t is their business to show
what they have on exhibition, and
we never yet knew one of them to
give an impatient or churlish reply
to any civil inquiry made Of them;
but on the contrary,have alwaysfound
them eager to impart information
Now this information is precisely
what every farmer wants. He needs
to be instructed about the differences
in character and value of livestock,
the uses and working Of implements
and machinery, the value of improv-
cd grains and other products, the
kinds of artificial fertilizers offerd by
the manufacturers, and scores ofother
matters, not only of great interest,
but of value in his daily business
Then, farmers need to meet together
and talk with one another about
these things, and compare views. 1t
is hardly possible for any two farm
ers so to discuss matters relating to
their business without mutual bene.
fit. The County or State Fair, is the
place of all others for farmers to meet
with one another, and also to meet
those who provide them with imple-
ments and various other supplies
By all means let every farmer not on
ly attend the fairs, but use all his
faculties when there is the effort to
learn everything that is possible. A
fair is a great school for the farmer
and his family.

The U. s. Senate.

The Washington Star says The
table Of the next Senate foots up
Republicans, 80; Democrats, 33; and
Independent Republican, 1. On the
meeting of the Senate in October
there will be three vacancies-one
from South Carolina caused by the
retirement of Senator Robertson, and
two from Louisiana, one being the
vacancy caused by the retirement Of
Senator West, and the other being
known as the Pinchback vacancy,
which has existed for four or five
years past. The applicants for the
South Carolina vacancy are David T.
Corbin, Republican, and NJ. G, Butler
Democrat. The applicants for the
two Lousisian vacancies arc William
Pitt Kellogg, Republican, and j. B
Eustis and James Lewis, Democrats
In view Of the overthrow of the Re-
publican government, in a party
sense, in those States, it is safe tc
predict that all these vacancies will
DO filled by Democrats. This would
give the Democrats SO members in
the Senate. Should the seat of the
Republican Senator from Indiana be-
come vacant his place would be fill
cd by n Democrat, probably by Vor'
hces or Hendricks, when the Senate
would stand, counting David Davis
with the Ropublicans-Rcpubli
80; Democrats 81. A few casualties
occurring among tho Republican Sen
ntors from Alabama, Arkansas, Flor
ida, Mississippi, South Carolina, and
several other States would result in
giving the Senate to the Democrats
by q fair majority. Tint they will
have such a majority In tho Senate
after March 3, 1873, Is almost certain,

No 1ncreale Of the standing Ar

An effort will be made at the next
session of Congress to increase the
standing army to $4,000 or 100000
men. We take occasion to say that
we are opposed to any increase Of
the regular army of the United
States, and will favor some plan for
its reduction to 10000 men, and the
expenditure Of some money. on, the
organization and equipment of the
volunteers and militia of the States,
composing the Union.
The revolutionary war, the war Of
1872, the Mexican war, and the late
civil war, we're all fought, and sue
cessfully fought, with the volunteers
and militia; and furthermore, all fu-
ture wars must be fought with simi-
lar troops. 1t is the height of folly
to expend money on the regular ar.
my, beyond a certain limit, say Of
10000 men.
The large operations of the coun-
try all clamorous for this increase Of
the army, and should not be allowed
to control it. Let the people speak
out beforehand and demand that
their representatives in Congress,
shall oppose this monstrous scheme,
aud their representatives in the Leg
islature of this State, shall mature
bill for a perfect organization of the
militia and volunteers of'the State,
so that we may have an adequate
force at the call of the Governor for
the suppression of riots and other
disturbances that may occur within
cur borders.

Horrible Death from HydrOpIio-
bla in Jackson County.

u
Mr.. Geo. Anderson, living on Elk
Fork, in this county, died on We'd

time ago n dog belonging to Mr.. An
derson went mad, and after running
at large a few days was killed with
out having done any damage so far
as was known at the time. But in
about four or five weeks a calf about
the place was seized with symptoms
Of the fatal disease. not being able to
eat and apparently choking. Mr.,
Anderson, thinking the animal had
choked, ran his hand down its throat
to remove the obstruction, and il is
supposed the calf bit him, though no
attention was paid to it at the time.
But on last Saturday, or about six
weeks from the time the calfwas TAX
en- sick, and he was also taken sick
and on Monday was unable to
drink his coffee, and in few hours
was suffering all the horrors of by
drophobia. He went from one con
vulsion into another until death
came to his relief on Wednesday,
DIR. Simmons, of this place was call
in, but as there is no relief known to
medicine for this horror, he could do
nothing, He remained with his pa
tient, however, trying every means
to alleviate his sufferings, until death
came. The doctor says il was one of
the most terrible scenes he ever wit
