Two convictions on old murder case.
were had at the recent term of the Dis
trict Court in Greenwood county. G..
w. Petty murdered a man named Rob
ert Clark in that county on the 9th day
of May, 1866 lover twelve years ago., by
calling him out of his house in daylight
and shooting him dead, in the presence
of his (Clark's) wife. After committing
the crime Petty fed. He was heard of
at different times in Missouri, Arkansas,
the Indian Nation, and Texas, and sew
eral efforts were made to capture him,
but without success. A few months ago,
q son of the murdered man trailed the
murderer to place in Texas near Austin,
and kept watch of his whereabouts, until
q ,requisition could be obtained from
Gov. Anthony. Petty was arrested,
brought back. tried and convicted of
murder in the first degree. The other
case was that of the State VS.. William
Brown, for the murder of the Bledsoe
brothers. about twelve years ago. Brown
was arrested and had q preliminary
examination 1--WE believe) at the time
the murder was committed, but was dis
charged. Since then, we think he has
lived without any attempt at conceal
ment, in Wilson county; but sometime
ago was arrested with man by the name
Of Craig, on an Indictment for murder
found by the grand jury of Greenwood
county. He was tried, and found guilty
Of murder in the first degree.

ted. There is nothing in the. history of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad Company
which justifes the conclusion that les
methods and practices will be different
from the methods and practices of its
predecessors.
The undersigned 10 not unmindful of the
commercial Importance and special adyan-
tages of che proposed road as transcon.
|tinental railway. and concurs iu the belief
expressed by the majority of the commit.
tee that, ''but for our unfortunate civil
disturbances there can be little doubt
that the first transcontinental line of rail
way constructed would have been on or
near the SD parrellel.' But it is submit
ted that this belief affords no sufficient
justification for the guarantee and subsidy
asked. For were it conceded, as it is not,
that this enterprise is essentially of the
Southern character with which it is attemp-
ted to be stamped, no reason can be built
upon that fact which may not be urged
with equal force as reason why the
government should equallze between the
lately contending sections all the losses
resulting from " our unfortunate civil
disturbances.
The statement of the majority that the
Government Of the United States, in view
of the quantity of lands given to it by
Southern States, has been unjust to the
South in the bestowal of bounties, is
believed to End it's refutation In the char
| acter of the men who before the war
represented that section. They were too
| sensitive as to the rights of their section to
be satisfied with less than what was
rightfully theirs. The undersigned is not
advised as to how the Texas and Pacific
Railroad Company acquired the franchise
and right of way by which it is authorized
to construct its railroad from Fort Worth
to Ell Paso in the State of Texas, whether
by grant from the State of Texas, or by
purchase from or consolidation with the
Memphis, I'll Paso and Pacific Railroad
Company, under the fourth section of the
act Of March 8, 1861, entitled. AN act to
incorporate the Texas Pacific Railroad
Company and to aid 10 the construction Of
its road and for other purposes.
In the case of Davis u.s. Gray, l6 Wal
lace, page 203, United States Supreme
Court decided that the Memphis, Ell Pass
and Pacific was a surviving corporation
with all its property in possession, and al
its faculties unlmpaired. This franchise
and right of way the company proposes tt
mortgage to indemnify the government fo
its guarantee. 1t becomes material fact
therefore, to know If it was ever acquired
in either of the modes suggested, O.
otherwise, and whether it has been for
feited or lost with the Texas Immigrant
The undersigned expresses no opinion upol
this question, which was not considered b.
! the committee. but submits that due regar'
8 for the interests of the government de
= mands that before any guarantee is made
! based in part on a mortgage of the sal
+ franchise and right of way. the Hous
: should be informed and advised as to tn
