Arrest Of CLARK the Burglar and
Mule Thief.

Last Thursday it was discovered
that the two mules burned in Collin
stable were not those of Collins. but
that they were the two that had been
stolen from Col. |. 3. Dunn. The
theory was at once accepted that
Clark had stolen Dunn's mules and
exchanged them for Collins's and
then burned ColIin5's stable and
Dunn mules. On Thursday the
theory was confirmed by the news
that Clark had been seen with Col
lins's mules on his way toward the
upper end Of the county. On Friday
MIR. j G. Conway, John McCrowell,
Geo. Kuhnert and +. G Mics start

During the excitement in Abingdon
lat "Wednesday, negro man banned
Joe Nola4d, who has been living for
many years with the Hurt Brothers,
was shot four times by VIM. Clark, jr.
Various statements are made about
the affair, but it seems that holland

town Sergeant directed Clark TO arrest
him. holland declared he had a right
TO hurrah, and declined to stop, when
Clark commenced iring on him, four

body and two in the head. The negro
was carried away aud his life dispair-
ed of, but up to the date he is alive
and his recovery is thought possible.
Clark waived an examination and was

GUS farmer in Tennessee should sell
out and 60 to Texas. Capt. d. ad-
vises his friend ''to go and see for

gentlemen who lately visited Texas.
1t is certainly wonderful country,
and immigration is pouring in there at
the rate of two or three hundred

and, bought soon, must prove very
profitable as Investments. The people

BLAINE AND SOUTMEnN CON.
CIR ESSMEN.

The speech of Mr.. Blaine On the
Fourth of July was full of FIRE and en-
thusiasm and we'll calculated to exas-
perate New England and the East
against the administration and the
South. But the Southern question is
dead. Hayes, if we be not greatly
mistaken, has placed 1t beyond the
reach Of the hand of resurrection.
Congress, as now constituted, cannot
revivify the reeking corpse. There
are too many Democratic votes in the
Senate and in the House to suffer any
act OF Hayes to be undone, and the
very essence Of Radical solidity and
force and life has been finally destroyed.
Blaine confesses this by his violence.
His own accession to the presidency
depends upon the maintenance of the
solidity of an organization whose Inv
ing soul was the capitalization of hatred
of the South. Blaine may arouse
New England and revivify and exss-
perate New England prejudices, but
now, when Southern States have re-
gained, they cannot well be deprived
of rights of self-government, and if
th0y may not be remanded, as Blaine
proposes, to the mastery of Northern
satraps, the end of Radicalism has
y VVoupicu Ill pronouncing its funeral
eulogium than in this effort to recru-
city the South and subject us finally
and fatally to the absolute mastery Of
New England. Through its colleges,
railways, intelligence and tact New
England, for fifty years, has absolutely
governed the continent at will. We
have paid taxes and tariffs and sub
mitted to navigation acts sim
ply to aggrandize New England.
The prospective alliance of the
West and South, on questions
of finance, against Blaine and Tilden
and New England, demanding gold in
stead Of silver and paper, frightens
Blaine. He sees that the consumms-
ton Of Hayes's policy is fatal to the
supremacy of New England in morals
and government, and therefore the war
against the administration
by the fierce and fanatical and furious
New Highlander. To defeat Blaine we
must stand by Hayes. The freedom of
the South depends upon our adhesion
to the President and whatever South
ern Congressman may find it necessary
to do to thwart the purposes of Mr..
Blame they will not fail in accomplish
inn
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-07-12

Justice and right, and more than we |
Lore ourselves and the SouthI" We
are asked whether we should not give
the President as great strength e. he
has lost. The South, owes, the law
yer says, the President everything; 1t
owes Northern Democracy nothing.
True, Logan and Butler, and many Ike
them, did promise to stand by the
Southern Democracy and die fer States
rights and the negro bat they lied and
sold out for spoils and Offices. We
have voted solIdly on all occasions tor
these Northern Democrats ever since
the war, and thus kept ourselves under
the heel Of the negro and of the ne
gIo's new master. We don't owe the
Northern Democracy anything, as
far as we can see, except gooo
will, and we do owe the South
