AhLANlAi Ndj MhIVn " .oI,
Hin EXcellency, II. b. Hubbard, Governor of
TeXUB
SIR Il am in receipt ofy0ur letter of
the 18th Of February, and also note
from the Hou. James b. Simpson,
both of which accompanying the mag
niilcent prize banne,, awarded by the
State of Texas to the state OF Georgia,
IA "the state giving the largest major
ity tor the Democratic ticket in the
late presidential election"
This banner, both in design and exc
cutlon, has been pronounced by our
entire community, as altogether UNI
matched by anything OF the kind
which has been seen in the South,
ArtisticaiIy it reflects The highest cred
1t upon the exquisite taste of its de
slguers, and as Il memorial of o marked
event in Georgia's history, and as a
momentons epoch IN the history of the
country, it viii long be an object of
interest, from these impressive assooi
atlOns.
IL the times were more suspicious
for mn exchange Of pleasantries, Geor.
gia might remind Texas that the race
Is sometimes most Unexpectedly lost
by the swift, and that the best assured
hoaster Is the one who takes oil the
harness, aud not the one who is lust
putting il on. But We are admonished
by events OF very recent occurrence,
that neither sWiftness nor strength NAV
avail in n contest with fraud and that
this brilliant gem of a banner, which
it was fOudly hoped would be tha me
mento OF II grand and saving triumph
OF freedom, may prove at last but sad
remembrAuces of her disastrous defeat
and overthrow.
Let me, however, initiate the hope
fitness and patriotism the Romans,
whose motto was, "Never despair of
the republic" In this spirit Georgia
accepts the challenge OF your noble
young commonwealth, and will see to
it, If in the future Texas means to
marshal, by her "hugle- blast,n a
greater or reader host than
Georgia, when the Democracy calls
to the rescue, that she shall be
forced to do her best. We warn Won
now to begin i'll time, and bend to the
work But in advance we notify Won
that should we he fairly beaten, we
will yield only with that proud sub.
mission, which the parent evinces when
the child, full of promise, is the victor
over her.
We love to cherish, with you, as A
common property, the fame OF Lamar
and FAnnin, and "A host of other Geor.
gians, who laid down their lives for the
struggling fortunes OF the 'Ione Starr
Long may Georgia and Texas continue
generous emulation for the mainte.
nance of constitutional government
and liberty, through Democratic inter.
pretati0ns and organization.
Permit me to add, that the pleasure
we experience in the reception of the
"Centennial Banner would have been
enhanced, could we have received il
from the hands OF the distinguished
son of Texas TO whom the Office of pre-
sentatlon had been delegated.
In the name, and in the behalf of
the Democracy of Georgia, accept the
custody of this beautiful banner, with
most fervent reciprocation Of ali good
wishes for the success of the great
Democratic party of Texas.
With sentiments of great respect, |
am, air, your ohedient servant,

were wholly unexpected to the corpo-
ration; that the other seven directors
representing the majority of the stock,
as well as being large creditors knew
nothing about this proceeding, and
asked time to answer for the com.
psny which he claimed to represent.
He suggested that the case presented
some anomalous features in that
three directors, complainants ina the
bill, together with the Hon. VIM. Il. |
Dodge, president, were opposed in this
proceeding By all the other directors.
and that for these resident directors to
place themselves properly before the |
court 1t might be necessary for them |
to charge collision with complaluants
on the part of the Hon. w. Il. Dodge, |
Mr.. Phelps urged the immediate ap-
pointment of the receiver as prayed
for ia view OF the new developments,
the judge took the case under consid.
eratioa until Monday morning. The
bill presents no equitable grounds for
.he appointment OF "A receiver. There
Is no waste or mismanagement of the
'oad charged, nor Is there any
OF claims upon the
earnings of the road The whole

cry. The Central road may be in

SIR; The Democratic party of Texas,

generous contributions.
In the State canvass Of February,
1876, Texas gave clear Democratic
majority of one hundred ana three
thousand votes over the Republican
Candidates. This vas an increase of
more than fifty thousand majority over
the vote of 1874. 1t will not, there.
fore, be denied-permit me- in all
irankness, to say-that in Offering this
splendid p ize TO be contested for by
all the States, Texas had not the most
remote expectation that other than her
own hands would bear of this trophy

sixty thousand; but in the presence of
your eighty.six thousand majority OF
Democratic votes, she bows with un.
covered head, ard with u heart full OF
pride, love and honor, tenders to the
Democracy Of Georgia, this banner
which she has 50 nobly won.
This pleasant duty, 10y unanimous
consent, has been cOuiided TO the Hon.
James b Simpson, of Dallas, Texas
the editor of one Of our leading Dem
ooratic daily journals), distinguished
in our Legislative councils alike fol
craftsmanship, eloquenoe and II fear

Mrs. Hayes was pointed out as "the
lady with a white lace scarf about her
neck, holding the little boy with the
curly golden locks in front of her to
prevent his pitching over the gallery
on to Senator Conklin's fine head.1
The black lace veil which she wore
prevented the features from being
distingulshoble. Mrs. Hayes will pass
muster, her husband will not.

THE world is governed too much"
by old fogy ideas. But when you say,
that because the returning boards
made Hayes president, and he has de-
veloped liberal policy toward the
South, therefore returning boards and
electoral commissions are the correct
thing, you should not expect any but
an exceedingly ancient foey to endorse
the sentiment.
