Having just returned from a
visit to some ofthe upper 'cohn
flies. I will Drop yoh few lines:
Starting frcrr Fo-e [ went by
way. of the RoReGs6a Crossing
on the Tegua, thenee on to the
little town Of Lexington, Lee
county, where l stopped under
the hospitable roof of Mr.. A.
Paseman, formerly of this coun-
ty. From there l proceeded on
my way until l reached the res
idence of Mr.. VIM. Gentry, II
miles this side Of Taylorsville in
Williamson county. The grass
from the Yegua all along the
route is excellent, and stock is
in a very fine condition., al
though there is great scarcity
of water.
The little town Of Lexington
is a thriving little place, al
though not blessed with rail
road facilities, it being about IS
miles north Of Giddings and
about the same distance south
of Rockdale. The country
around Lexington is mostly
timbered land, and is rapidly
settling up. Some farmers
from Wisconsin and other
states have bought land there,
and are preparing to live upon
it. The soil is a red sand and
is well adapted to the cultiva-
ton Of cotton, corn, wheat, &c.
The farmers are going to make
wheat raising a speciality the
coming season; many are now
preparing their ground for that
purpose. A Mr.. Krusendorf,
from Austin county, has just
erected a wheat mill and cotton
gin combined, in the town,
which will be a great advantage
to the farmers in the surround
ing country. Abundance of
wild game. such as wild turkey,
deer, &c, afford for those in
clined to hunt an amusing past
time.
The country around Mr.. Gen.
try's is more adapted for sheep
and cattle raising. Mr.. Cen
try will have, when completed,
a pasture of about 1900 acres.
There is great complaint of
horse and cattle stealing in
that section of Williamson
county--a few yards of hemp
would probably put stop to
it.
Our little Zionsville is still
flourishing; crops are all gath
cred and farmers are exultant
over the advanced prices of the
fleecy staple. Corn is scarce
and those that have any to sell
are holding back for their pri-
ces. Several negro families
have "dusted" for Kansas; sew
eral more are talking of going
don't talk about it, but go,
we can do without you.

Last night as a citizen of
Oatmanville was returning to
his home, he was met on the
river bank, this side of the cross
ing above the bridge, and COM
manded to halt by a fellow who
presented pistol and knife,
and claimed that the citizen
was driving a horse stolen from
him. The robber cut the horse
entirely out of the harness and
mounted him and rode rapidly
off. Citizens of Oatmanville
report that the horse was rails
ed by the man that was driving
him. and that he is respecta-
Bile and prominent citizen.-

The Germans and Bayard and Grant.

The following from the Aus
tin Statesman appears worthy
of consideration. 1t is said
that the Germans of Ohio de-
clare they will not vote for
Grant, and that'if Seymour be
nominated or Bayard, the solid
German vote of the United
States will be given to the
Democratic candidate. Ger
mans are thoroughly republican
as well as Republicans. They
had enough of the mailed hand
of personal arbitrary govern
ment in Europe. and came to
American to live and die free
men and citizens of free common
wealths. They have seen liber-
ty and States disappear togeth-
er in Europe, and would pro-
mote no repetition of evils of
mighty standing armies and
Capitalization of power in the
United States. The truth is
that special honors and respect
shown Mr.. s.Bayard, twelve or
eighteen months ago by our
people, and especially by our
German fellow-citizens. when
he came to Texas with the
mortal remains of Mr.. Schleich-
er, induced the Statesman, at
the time, to present Mr.. Bayard
for nomination as the candidate
of the Democracy in 1880. The
Germans were thoroughly i'm
bued with the financial philoso-
ply of Mr.. Schleicher, whose
opinions were those of the dis
tinguished Senator from Della
ware, and this may account, to
some extent, for the naturalness
and readiness with which Ger
mans of Texas asserted their res
pect and admiration for Mr..
Bayard. We must believe that
the Germans of Texas would
prefer either of the conservative
statesmen, Seymour, or Bayard,
to a soldier candidate, whose
only qualification for great
civil Office is the fact that, by
sheer force Of countless num-
bers. he crushed the shell of a
starved Confederacy.

THE following is only the
heading of a three column &C
count in the Leadville Chr0Mcis.
1t shows what can be done
when it becomes necessary for
the law abiding to take the law
into their own hands: "The rope
ripe; work of the dreaded vigil
lantes. two hundred good and
true citizens stand by the mark
ed forty-fve in their strike for
law and order. Patrick S. Stew
art, the wounded foot-pad, and
Ed. Frodsham, professional lot
and mine jumper, without prep
aration or previous warning,
sent to the unknown and unseen
shore; the terrible warning of
the vigilantes; all evil doors are
told to travel; the law abiding
people to rule the camp; the
action OF the vigilantes heartily
Endorsed; detailed history of
Frodsham and Stuart; the tes-
timony before the coroner in
full; the only reliable account
of last nights doings."

MARK TWAIN, the celebrated
humorist, is said to be a repub-
lican. Mark, whose real name
is Clemens, is a Missourian by
birth, a printer by profession
and for many years was a popu-
lar pilot on the lower Mississip-
pi. 1t was during his occupa-
ton of the pilot house on the
floating palaces that navigated
the Father of Waters that he
made his reputation as a wit by
writing squibs for the St. Louis
and New Orleans papers. The
name mark Twain" is we'll
known to all who have had the
pleasure of travelling on steam
boats on the western waters and
signifies that the water is two
fathoms or twelve feet deep,
when the man at the bow is
heaving the lead in times of
low water.

Dinwidie, :.Estill and Allen, as

Estill is the only appointee we

less in character we predict for

1t IS asserted, by those who

attention, that each year there
is an Increase IN the population

known that pauperism and
crime increases in two-fold pro-
portion to the growth in popu-
lation. In fact, all the princi-
pal cities are now overcrowded.

hence are contributors to the

is a proportion that fingers in
