ANoooK, SHEPARD AND JONES.

It will be no dishonor to any mar,
whatever his personal claims upon has
friends or the degree of his intelligence
or virtues, to yield the palm in this
pending contest to John Hancock.
Mr.. Shepard has no truer friends than
many OF this city and county, who, at
Brenham, will vote for John Hancock.
The circumstances are peculiar. Ques-
lions TO be discussed are new. Party
ties are weak. The man to be beaten
Is formidable, and IL an older head
than Mr.. She2ard's and = wiser
than Giddings's should be borne
about the district neither Shepard nor
Giddings should complain il HAncock's
age and wisdom be recognized by the
people. Il is surely no wrong to an
admirable young gentleman hike Mr..
Shepard il At = junctufe like this
Judge Hancock be preferred. Geo.
w. Jones is q gentleman of abil-
III and adroitnesa He is q
coosummats h4tterer of the peo--
pie. His boots are knotty AID
shapeless, his hair unkenp,, his shirt
uusssrched, his clothes innocent of the
tIlor's touch. BE affects an awful de-
gree Of humility TO catch innocent
votes. he is hard to beat and the
masses of the people seem 70 thi, k that
the 1ask can only be accomplished by =
gentleman whose ability, experience in
lsg,slasioa and personal isAasnes 81

Washington nI-Ae eTesy Texan confess
the necessity for his restoration to seat
IN the House. TWAS not only calamity
20 this district, but grievous mis-
fortune to the South that John Han
cock lost his place in Congress-and
ne owes it mainly to his own bold in
discretioDs. Newspapers everywhere
asserted the great power welded by
the Texas delegation, and of these
John Hancock was second to no one.
We discovered in Federal legislation
the advantages derived by the com
monweslth from the potency of her
congressman, and even If Judge Han
cock differed i'll opinion from the major
ity Of the Democratic party in reference
to some political issue, 1t should consti-
tute no sufficient reason why person of
less ability and WELDING less influence
In Congress and at the departments
should supplant him. We want rep
resentative to serve US as Jones cannot.
We would have Jones beaten, task of
which tbs feared Shepard is incapable.
We would have Texas and the capital
district of Texas made the beneficiary
of congressional and executive action,
and however the district may have dit-
fered from Judge Hancock in reference
to dead questions, or as regards minor
matters of possible future Legislation,
it becomes the duty of the people to
themselves and State to send him to
Washington.

IT is asserted by the Presidents
friends that he will continue a steady
and increasing pressure in favor of
clean and efficient administration.
Necessarily the process must be slow.
People and parties cannot take it all
in at once. The Boston Transcript
says that those VINO have attained a
conviction of the importance and ulti-
mate triumph IF such policy in the
American government have probably
also cultivated some degree of patience
in looking for the results. They will
not think it necessary with tie New
York Nation to pull up the beans every
morning that they do not show visible
growth

AUSTIN WILL Not BIZ QUARAN-
TINED.

Since there is no instance on record,
the doctors say, of the appearance of
yellow fever at higher point above
the sea level than Memphis, and Aus
tin is 260 feet above Memphis, and
Memphis is on the verge of the marsh
lands of the Mississippi and Austin
near an open plain and on a mountain
side, we do not see why we have aught
to fear from yellow fever. Men have
died here Of the disease, and others
brought hither have recovered. Il
was, in this transparent atmosphere,
why, rueD, destroy trade, and why
deprive the sick and frightened of q
proper refuge9 Many poor people, if
the yellow fever invade Houston or
Galveston, cannot, to escape the epi-
demic, afford to go further than Aus.
tin. They have no country homes or
friends, and yet because it may be pos
sible, though all human experience
asserts the contrary, that the plague
may visit Us, we should be willing, as
mere act of humanity, to risk
the remotely possible contingency.
Learned doctors say that we
risk nothing. Some one says that be-
cause yellow fever scourged Gibraltar,
Austin Is endangered. We never meas
ured the height of this stronghold, or
fired at it the traditional pocket pistol,
but have seen pictures of houses on
the slipping ascent that were not appar.
emily 80 feet above the waves OF the
Mediterranean. Quarantining a town
about which there is no guarded stone
wall or strong military force is quite
impossible. If railway trains be stop
ped, wagons and carriages sill move
unobstructed over the highways, and
sea-girt Galveston may be effectually
quarantined, but not Austin or Mem.
phis. Fearing no danger and believ-
ing, from all human experience,
that the diffusion of the plague is i'm
possible 1T this altitude, and in as dry
an atmosphere as this, we would rather
invite the suffering to come that health
may be restored by highly oxygen
ated winds, by skillful medical treat
meus and by a .bene6cent proYi-
dence which invests Austin with so
many physical charms. We have
here who have nursed and
cured many subj cts of the malignant
destroyer Of our race, and every induce
ment that interest, philanthropy and
as guided by the contem-
plation of possibilities of misfortune or
escape from death, impel Us to reject
the proposition to quarantine Austin.

Last Monday there was a tournament

Last MONDAY there Was tournament
and barbecue at Burnet. The Bulletin,
of that town, says: "Hon. A. w.
Terrell, of Austin, delivered an able
Democratic speech-in fact, the ablest
and most exhaustive we have heard or
read in many day. He indicated
the party completely from the charges
that ignorance and malice had brought
against it; showed that the much ma
ligned and abused Northern Democrats
had, in the dark days of 1868, when
the Constitution was imperiled, con-
tended nobly IN defense of Democracy
and constitutional government, and
had it not been for their defense of
those God-given principles by such
men as Pendleton, Holman and Val
landIngham long since would the prin-
ciples of equal justice and State rights
have fed from our land. We have
neither time nor space to dwell upon
this grand speech. 1t had the ring of
true craftsmanship in it, was felt, sp-
pr6ciated and applauded by the large
concourse of attentive listeners and
caused more men to ponder and ref, ct
upon the real issues of the hour than
has yet been done by any speech of The
day. Free trade and finances were
clearly hasdled, and he stood squarely
upon the platform of the party as enun-
ciated last week at Austin"
Capt. j. K. Bumpass declines the
nomination for Congress rendered him
by the Greenbackers, and says: ''For
the present l must say cannot accept
your nomination, and while l am as
good Greenback voter as any, deem
it unwise if the Democracy of this dis
trict will place in the field an out and
out GreeLback man, in whom we can
contide, to attempt to divide the party.

known to you that have always been

voted with the Democracy of the ma
ton; and as Democracy ia so near VIC
tory, will not throw one leather in It's
way. 1t can make itself immortal now
by doing right. l am inclined to
think that the Democracy of
the South will be true to- the
interest of the nation; If it will only
heal thC SIIes vi Ihe Hhllloh "oIheIs vi

dunn sufficient to enable values to IN

form of the Greenback party in the

preamble. do not know that there is
conspiracy formed, led and con
| trolledS by the leaders of the two great
parties of the nation to create mon
eyed afistocracy in the land; nor do l
know that the present President of the
United States would aid or abet such
an unholy creation. l am inclined to
think there are good, true, honest
statesmen in both parties"

ing and ability become leaders and
possible placeholders. II the newspa-
per which would have Texas subdi-
vided discover no illustration of facts
stated in its own town, the intelligence
and virtue of the place must be ALIEN
bracing. He whose extraordinary abiI
lty and admirable personal worth, a.
he himself sees himself in the mirror OF
his own self-love, remains undiscovered
by the Democratic party, needs a new
party even as the second rate office
seeker needs new State. Bntton A.
HILL considers himself, in a small way,
candidate for the presidency in 1880,
and Britton A. Hill, if he may
lead of all the soreheads of the
Democratic party and the disappointed
Place-seekers, will have, in point of
numbers, very respectable following.
Hard times have driven chronic Office
seekers to desperation. They become,
IN the world of politics, organized
tramps, and constitute a most obstrep-
erous class. They would rather be
first even in "Africa" than second in
America. For right or wisdom or
principle they care nothing. They
would wreck an empire to create q
petty State in which they may reign,
or destroy q great and historical
party. The lofty, eunobling ambi-
ton of Cesar can find no abiding
place In the narrow intelligence OF
these office = seeking desperadoes.
They would wreck and degrade
the noblest embodiment of political
power and moral force in government
that ever existed that they may discover
proper fields for the development OF
low-born ambition and greed for
office. Therefore we confess profound
respect for the Register which asserts
its own greatness in maintaining that
of the commonwealth. But we may
pardon the dlsruptionists of party OF
plotters for spoils who wreck conven-
lions. We may forgive enemies OF
Texas who were reared In New EGG
land Sunday schools and have only
seen us through the microscopical press
of the East, but he who would con-
tract the States confines and lessen
its sources of future greatness and
power is the enemy of the South, of
the commonwealth and of posterity.
II the Federal Union be perpetual, let
the power and greatness of Texas in
the Union be perpetuated; if the
Uoion must be destroyed, let Texas be
capable of taking care of herself. East
ern Radical newspapers and party lead,
ers have often urged the necessity fol
the partition of Texas, even as the
Old Dominion Was bereft of ancient
greatness, and even as Poland was
smitten by Eastern despots. Infamy
should blast the Texan who seriously
proposes the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
commonwealth.

THE Baltimore american thinks
Texas should be subdlvlded. 1t says
substantially that the boundlessness of
the State and Its unexampled growth
IN wealth and population warn other
States to beware of the growing power
of Texas. "The very greatness of the
commonwealth may induce 1t, at some
future day, to defy the power of
the U MON, and such State should not
be suffered by the East to exist in the
South or West" Does the Dallas
traitor to Texas concur In opinion and
purpose with the Baltimore organ of

IT is stated In New Orleans papers
that csrbOlic. acid has destroyed yellow
fever in the district in which iI first
appeared. SIX weeks have elapsed and
there are no new cases. Other
districts are being tested in the same
way, and it is hoped and believed the
same result will follow. Isolation and
carbolic acid proved effective in Mobile
in 1878. New York City, 1t is asserted,
has often owed exemption to the same

CATARRH.-A friend sends US the
following catarrh remedy, and asks its
publication. He writes: SIT has been
tried and found very efficient. A
writer of the Tribune says that this
disease is durable, if the sufferer will
persist in using the following: The
remedy is crushed cubeb berries
smoked in a pipe, emitting the smoke
through the nose; after q few trials
this will be easy to do. II the nose is
stopped up so that it is almost impos-
sible to breathe, one pipeful will make
the head as clear as bell. For sore
throat, asthma and bronchitis swallow.
ing the smoke effects immediate relief.
1t is the bestremedy in the world for Of
fensiye breath, and will make the most
foul breath pure and sweet. Sufferers
from that most horrible disease, ulce-
rated catarrh, will find this remedy to
be unequaled, and q months use will
cure the most obstinate Ease. A single
trial will convince any one. Eating
the uncrushed berries is also good for
sore throat and all bronchial COM
plants. After smoking do not expose
yourself to cold air for at least fifteen
minutes. The berries are perfectly
harmless, and there is no use going to
'catarrh doctors while you can procure
this remedy. They can be procured at
any drug store, and you can crush them
