BAsTROP, May IL, 1879.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-Last week
our county sent off eight boarders to
the Huntsville hotel. On Thursday
night the Colorado river rose some
four feet-must have rained above.
Last Saturday we had show of fine
stock cattle and a few horses; consld-
ering that the roads are much washed,
there was more of a show than could
be expected. Next October l suppose
the whisky ring (Bell Punch) will be
fully established.
Query: Will it exercise exclusive
privileges to the dealer, or bear hard
on customers2
1t appears that the late Legislature
had more regard for the dogs than the
drummers, for while it took the tax
off the first, it put it on heavy on the
latter. As the dog tax was appropria-
ted for school purposes, the tax on
drummers ought to be employed also
for the generafsohool fund. The poor
children being soon deprived of free
schools, they have at least the benefit
of the feas that the numerous worth
less ours will scatter. and it will keep
the children busy scratching and little
time for young and old to reflect on the
Governors school veto. Let the
youth grow up in ignorance, and in
time We can expect hopeful Leglsla-
lures and q larger representation at
Huntsville.
By the by. drummers are getting
scarce in Bastrop, for the strong gal
lows still stands in our courtyard, a
glaring warning to all whom our Leg
islature condemns by its laws z. 4,

WE HAVE prophets among Us. \ veneer
able Democrat who caught the ear Of an
accommodating newspaper man, succeeded
in getting his forecast OF American politics
in print. He predicts that Samuel J. Til
den will be nominated for the presidency in
1880 by exclamation; but that his growing
infirmities will admonish him to get off the
track, and that he will heed them; that
then the Democratic National Executive
Committee will substitute Samuel J. Ran
dali The first clause OF the prediction
is nothing more than conclusion drawn
from existing facts. The latter clause
doesn't foretell probability but should i
be verified, il will be the initial step T.
one of the most disastrous Democratic de
feats ever suffered. With Tilden, Palmer
Hancock Bsyard or Thurman, the way vii
be opened to victory. Outside Of this mar
row circle the Democracy has no man whose
name will be the synonym of victory.
