A grand swindle under the name Of
the 1Texas Land and Colonization
Company" is being perpetrated upon
innocent people at the North. The
office of this bogus company is at Gin
cinnati, whence they send letters and
attractive circulars all over the country
asking people to accept a gift of town
lots in the Getty of Oxford, Milan
county, Texas. Parties addressed are
led by false publications sent along
with these letters to send one dollar
for necessary title, etc. The innocent
party thus SO literally patronized in pa
per sends his dollar and that is the last
of it. There is no such place as the
Getty of Oxford" in Milan county, and
the men who are perpetrating this
swindle should be severely punished.
This swindle is similar to Empire
City," in Brown county, and no doubt
the same parties are implicated in both
cases.-Ausiin. Teas, Statesman.
By- Several of our citizens were "tak-
en- in" by the above company. They
sent their dollars Isl per loD to the
agent at Cincinnati, and got their Deed,
and that is the only thing they ever
will get.

THE SITUATION.

The deed is done. The Congresson-
a, commission of fifteen having declared
that Rutherford Is. Hayes was duly
elected President of the United States
on the eth of November, that distin-
guished gentleman was, on Monday
last, indicted into Office with all the
pomp and paraphernalia usual upon the
Inauguration of a new administration.
1t is perhaps as well not just at this
time to express an opinion in regard TO
the "ways that are dark and the tricks
that are vain" by which Mr.. Hayes
through par,izsnship of the most re-
maikable character that our country
has ever known, has reached the presi-
dency Of The great republic. 1t is per
haps better for the .nonce to turn our
backs upon the past, and look hopefully
to the future 10 bring us to higher
plane of political life. The forms OF
law, moi the spirit, we are sorry 10 say,
have relocated Mr.. Tilden TO private
life, and have clothed his competitor
with The mantle Of authority, although
the former was unquestionably the
choice of the American people, by a
majority of quarter of million OF
votes, as well as having majority of
electoral votes. Obedience to the law
il characteristic of the American peo-
pie, and Of course they will accept the
situation, meantime not forgetting that
the ballot-box is still their inheritance,
and that in the end they can right what,
ever of wrong may come out Of our
present abnormal condition.
The inaugural of Mr.. Hayes, is in the
main an admirable address, and if he
shall steadily aud firmly pursue the
course which he has marked out, the
country may be speedily brought to a
condition of peace and repOse, and bust
ness once more resume its wonted chan
nels. In regard TO the condition Of the
Southern States, he holds the following
language: "The people Of those States
are still impoverished, and the inestima-
bic blessing of wise, honest and peace
fnl local self government is not fully en-
joyed. Whatever difference of opinion
may exist as to the cause of this condi-
ton Of things, the fact is clear that, in
the progress of events, the time has
come when such government is the i'm
peraiips nee' ssi'y required by all the
vried Interests, public and pirate, Of
those States" Now this is the whole
case in a nutshell, and shows that the
new President has clear perception
OF his own duties in the premises, but
whether he will be able to carry out the
reforms indicated is the question. The
radical carpet-baggers have already ia
ken alarm, and have sounded note Of
warning that the spoilers will soon be
at his heels. His will not be u bed Of
roses for the next four years, at all
events, and it will be as well perhaps
not to PREJUDICE him, but to wait in pa
,ienee the development of whatever the
future may have in store for us. II is
our duty, and we are sure that as Amer
lean citizens, we all desire that bis adj
minisiration may prove successful and
rebound to the country's prosperity and
good.

E5 Gov. JACOBS VBTo.-The legls-
lature of our State passed usury bill,
bat Gov. Jacob, before he retired as
Governor, vetoed it, which was very
right and proper, upon the fact that it
would have been an er post fac'o bill,
and consequently unconstitutional.
Had the clause: "and upon contracts
heretofore made" been left out of the
bill, it would have been all right, and
probably Gov Jacob would have sign
ed it. But if the clause referred to
above would have been inserted, there
is no telling how long Litigation would
have continued. The whole State would
have been upturned.
The bill provided that if more than
the legal rate of interest be charged the
lender shall forfeit the entire interest,
and upon contracts heretofore made
the borrowers can plead usury by gen
eral pleading; and where judgment has
been entered against defendant upon
contract founded upon usurions con
sideration the defendant can be relieved
by filing bill in chancery setting up
the facts.
The Wheeling Standard says:-The
Legislature few days since passed
Usury bill, providing very stringent
laws for the prevention of unlawful in
terest. 1t was a garbled affair, and be-
sides attempting to prevent illegal IN
terest, also made provision for the COL
lection of back illegalinterest. His veto
will give universal satisfaction. The
bill was foolish one.
