THIS shooting business will not stop
so long as there Is strong under-cur-
rent Of appreciation, and it cannot be
denied that that current does exist
more or less in every community
throughout the State. Sooner or later
it must come TO it that where two men
have a difficulty and one shoots and the
other threatens or attempts to shoot,
both must be punished, each according
to his responsibility and the damage
done. Officers, too, must be held &C
countable for any partiality or fsvorit-
ism shown violators of the law. The
officer, the citizen or the newspaper
that does not labor for the enforce
iment Of the law and the peace and dig
nifty OF the community, and a proper
aud just punishment OF all disregard
ers of law, has no claims to popular
approval or recognition. Heavy fines,
Imprisonment or death alone can les
sen the amount of shooting and cut
ting that is being done in this State,
and no one indulging in such barba-
risms should be allowed to escape
punishment.

Black we'll, an old Texan and an Old
citizen OF this county, died ut his cab
III, about twenty miles from this city,
one day last week. He lived alone,
aud some Of the neighbors, not seeing
him about for two or three days, called
TO see if anything was wrong, when
they found him at the point Of
death and insensibls. Mr. Black
well was twice elected sheriff OF this
county and he was once city marshal
of Austin. He was also a soldier In
the Mexican war, and participated in
the last battle of the late war on the
Rio Grande under Col. John S. Ford.
lie was a man of kind impulses and
brave as hon. 1t is thought that he
died for want Of aid and attention, and
this makes his death especially sad.

'sThe Greatest of These Is Charity,

Editors Democratic Statesman - II
there is any attribute of the Christisn
man which is calculated to impress sin
ners with the sincerity of his profess
eions, it is the exercise OF charity.
Christ was asked ''If thy brother Of
fend thee, how many times shalt thou
forgive him-seven times ?" The an =
swer was "Not only seven times,
but seventy times seven" In spite of
this PLAIN injunction. how seldom do
we see such charity manifested by
those pharesgical gentlemen who make
loud noise in prayer meetings, camp
meetings. etc. We may paraphrase
the poets lice, and well say beware
the anger OF Christian man." No
doubt this failure, upon the part Of
its professors, to apprehend the true
meaning and intent of the teachings
of the founder of Christianity, may
be imputed to narrow, contracted
views Of the world, and often
to a depiorsble lack of the most
uncommon sense of all-common
sense. The hold which intidelig is
gaining upon the minds of the people
Is largely due to the conduct of the
"pillars" OF the various churches. We
see them sitting under the ''drippings
of the sanctuary" on Sundays, and
there, no doubt, they feel at peace
with maDkinc, but on Monday = be-
hold the saint is transformed into q
| demon of vengeance, who wreaks his
wrath upon some "poor, shipwrecked
brother" who should claim a large
share OF that charity which Paul so
eloqnently eulogizes. Will time raise
the standard of the Christian man
Alas! fear not. Human nature can
not conform itself to the teachings of
Scripture. The Bible is written for
the ideal man, not the real. QUEEN.

THE prospect for large yield of
cotton this season, much larger than
has been made in this section for three
years, has been getting better and
better for the past three or four weeks,
and now the farmers are oil counting
with certainty on from three-fourths of
bale to q full bale to the acre, or
about double what was raised in these
upper counties last year. Whether
their expectations will be fully real,
lied cannot, Of course, be positively
stated, but the lsteness of the season
and the fine condition of the staple at
this time warrants the universal opin-
ion that they cannot be far wrong, and
that possibly their estimates of the
yield are even too low. What effect
these things will have on the business
of this city this season remains yet to
be seen, for AustIn's ability to attract
trade from distant points has to be
taken into account. l., by the i'm
provement of the roads and the enter
prise and public spirit OF our business
: men and leading citizens, Austin can
excel in offering inducements to up
country merchants and farmers, then
our trade this season will be lively,
and the dull times so long harped up
on will be no more. In the course of
week or ten days closer and
moro reliable reports can be made re-
garding the cotton yield, and the
board of trade and merchants general
ly should be on the q't1 Ciee to take ad-
vantage of sll the surroundings. AL
ready we have noticed favorable move
ments on the part of some merchants
TO increase the trade of this city, but
unless they are joined by otkers and
there is general cooperation aud "a
