DALLAS, TEXAS, May 10, is7,


To the Editor OF the Herald.
Permit me through your paper to
answer briefly an article which appear.
ed over the signature of "Logos," in
your daily of this date, in which the
writer wilfully perverts the language
used, and grossly mi.represents the
positions assumed by me in an inn
promptu address delivered at Cedar
Hill. on the hsinstant. He, Parson
"Logos" Says that of course his being
there was all a happen SC" and he had
no lax to grind, was sick" etc. Now
the truth is. | said no such thing, used
no slang. made no apology for being
there by invitation and on purpose, but
not to advocate the claims of any man
for any Office. Again the parson claims
to quote me in the following language:
why, sir. the grange has opened up
the mouth of the Mississippi river" etc
Another base misrepresentation,
said no such thing In his next
attack be seems to have dofied
entirely his ministerial robe, and
to have doned that OF cross road
politician as well as for the slang as for
his entire disregard of the truth, in
quoting me as follows: But brother
grangers, the grange has caught the
bull by the horns, and they now lay
croaching at your feet. pleading for
terms Now. parson, you may be in
the habit of using such language as the
above, but | am not, and did not at
Cedar Hili--nor did / speak OF the
governorship, nor of Major Downs, ex-
cept in quotation from an editorial in
the Dallas HERALD. nor did say thai
wanted farmer for governor, but
mentioned what some one else had said,
and commented on the effects his re-
mark had upon the newspapers advo~
cain, j. w Throckmorton for gov
ernor Now -Parson Logos, it Is well
known fsct.in this county that am no
special advocate of Colonel Long nor
of Major Downs, which fact will greatly
weaken your unfounded assertions
quoted above.
Now. parson. / will quote one sem
tence from your elegant article in which
believe there is some truth; Il wish
it understood that ! am Q granger in
principle" etc. No doubt of that, sir.
You are like many others who would
like to be understood IS grangers. but
who are far outside, and are likely 10
remain there. Let me suggest TO you
parson, that two of the christian virtues
must be cultivated and adhered to by
all who expect to join the grange, a.
they are embraced in the higher aims O.

Respectfully. P. O. swoR.

cue the lamily and save the burning
building. The fire was extinguished,
but not until the children were nearly
consumed. When found Mrs. Kaiser lay
with a little boy, three years old, beside
her, and u TWO months old baby on her
breast, She had two deep wounds pen
straling the brain, either Of which was
sufficient to cause death. The heads of
the little boy and the baby were crushed
in and the brain exposed. The position
Of the bodies indicated that they had
been killed and the bodies arranged in
bed before the flames had been started
to destroy evidence Of tue terrible crime.
In another portion of the house was
found Kaiser and his four sons. The
boys lay in = row, their heads toward
the rear wall of the room and their feet
toward the center. They 10y on their
, 1878-03-13

backs and their limbs, though roasted,
were stretched out and composed, show
ing that the fife had come after death.
The body OF the old man lay between
the boys and the bed OF his wife and
babies 1t wssltwisted and distorted,
showing that the living nerves and
muscles had wrthsd before the blaze.
The skulls OF the boys had all been
crushed From inspection of the
wounds it seems as if they had been in
fcted with mattock. Kaiser was fifty
years old, and Swtzer by birth. The
four boys were aged ten, nine, seven and
five years. The old man had fallen be-
hind with his rent, and on the 1st OF
March he was to give up his farm. This
preyed upon his mind continually and
had kept him Respondent during the
week Thursday night he went to Fisks
landing, called for whisky and had a
bottle filled and started Tor home about
nine o'clock. 1t is probable that he
killed his wife and babies first and called
down the boys and killed them in turn,
fred the building and then, stupe6ed
by whisky, laid down and was overtaken
by the flames.

review at Stefano to-day. Russia has
abandoned her claim on the Egyptian
and Bulgarian tributes.
St. Petersburg and Pera correspond
ents confirm the report that the treaty OF
peace has been signed. At st. Peters
burg the enthusiasm over the news was
almost unprecedented. There was an
immense crowd before the palace, shout
ing and singing God save the Car"
The Pera correspondent says the treaty
of peace was signed Saturday.
A Pera special says thirty-one thous'
an troops were reviewed at San Stefano
and the TIE Dsum was sung amid great
enthusiasm.
A correspondent at San stephano is
able to state that neither the surrender
of a portion of the Turkish fleet nor the
claim on the Egyptian tribute is innclud-
ed in the terms of peace, and there IS no
interference with the portion of the
Turkish revenue which is hypothecated
to foreign creditors. Nothing is def
nitely settled relative to the indemnity,
but it will be principally in the form of
territory in ASIA, including Kars and
Batoum, bnt not ErzerOum. Salonica
