A Strange Story.


The Dallas Commercial tells
a curious story, Several years
ago a man named Winters was
killed in Cook county, Texas /;
suspicion fell upon William
Early, his partner. He was ar
rested, but stoutly denied the
crime. He had two mistrials /;
on the third trial he was con-
victed. The case was appealed
and reversed. Early was adj
mitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000. He went to Mckinney;
got drunk and got the jim jams;
during his paroxysms Winter
the murdered man appeared to
him and in his Imagination fol-
lowed him every where, Early
got on his knees in the streets
and prayed for mercy. The
phantom followed him and at
last every one was satisfied that
he was guilty; his bondsmen
surrendered him and he is now
in the Mckinney jail where he
has ample time to commune
with Winters ghost without the
Intervention of whiskey.

Cost OF Criminals.

The cost of crime to tax
payers is attracting the atten-
ton of the press in many of the
states. The St. Louis Repn6E-
can in a lengthy editional enti-
led Criminals VS.. Taxpayers"
says the criminal costs paid by
the state of Missouri for the
years 1877 and 1873 is $4,000,
and to this must be added the
costs by the counties. On the
Ist of January 1873 circuit at
torneys were abolished and each
county elected its own prosecu-
ting attorney. This added con-
siderable to the expense of
criminal prosecutions while the
efficiency of the attorneys
was propertionately decreased.
Texas under her new constitu-
ton adopted the system in vogue
in Missouri and with similar
result. The Republican says:
Again, not only should econ
omy be practised by restoring
the old circuit-attorney system,
but we should provide cheaper
method for furnishing our crimi-
mails.
To men who are thoroughly
depraved, who dread not indivi-
dual disgrace, the penitentiary
with its short terms of imprison-
ment, has but few terrors; it IS
looked upon more as a temper
airy residence, than as punitory
locality. With this well-known
fact in view the idea at once
suggests itself; Ought we not
to make the law "a terror to
evil-doers?" How can this be
done2 By making ''the way of
the transgressor hard" by APP
plying to his back hypodermic
injections of,asv-htde, by estab-
fishing, in short the whipping
post" that "relic of barbarous
age" as it is sometimes termed /
by maudlin sentiment. Such
method of punishment is con-
fessedly the cheapest, and a
very brief experience will, we
confidently predict, prove it to
be also the best. It would drive
far from our borders that class
of criminals known as tramps,
and secure to the rural districts
almost entire immunity from
their petty thievery and pestifer-
Gus presence.
1t seems that bill for the
establishment of the whipping
post was defeated by the last
legislature of Missouri by
very small majority. The prob
ability is that such a bill will
pass this winter.

A Polar Wave.

The weather for the past three
weeks has been remarkably cold.
Here IN BRENNAN at 7 o'clock
on Monday morning the mercu-
ry marked zoe Dispatches
from all points north and west
report the most intense cold for
twenty years. At Vicksburg on
Saturday there was six inches
of snow. At Shreveport there
was six inches of snow and Red
River was full of running ice
At Cincinnati the Ohio river is
frozen over. At Richmond,
Va, the river is blockaded with
ice and navigation is suspended.
At Detroit, Michigan, the mer--
curry ranges from zero to eleven
degrees below; the trains are all
behind time. At Albany, NY.
Jacob Van Heusen, aged 81,
went out to dig a grave, he was
found frozen to death. At
Brooklyn, N. Y, an infant was
frozen to death beside its moth
er in bed. At Syracuse, N. y,
on Saturday there had been no
trains from the west since Thurs
day, and the storm still contin-
ued. -Four tramps were frozen
to death at Glasgow junction,
near Nashville. At Chicago
the mercury was 70 below
zero at 6 o'clock on Saturday
night; at the county hospital
there are some narrowing scenes,
ds the afflicted poor are brought
in with limbs frozen. One or
two fatal freezings are reported.

Cotton spindles.


The total cotton spindles in
the north are now estimated at
about 100000, and in the south
at 100000. In 1876 it is esti-
mated that 100000 were in
operation, 100000 in Eng
land and the remainder else
where. 1t will thus be seen at
a glance that of all the cotton
manufactured only about ten
per cent is manufactured in the
South, where nearly all of if is
produced. Texas produces more
cotton than any other state, and
perhaps manufactures less
Were the freight alone saved
on the cotton shipped to the
northern and British mills, it
would amount to an enormous
sum. Many portions of the
South are admirably adapted to
the manufacture of cotton, by
reason of the mildness of the
climate and the ease and cheap
ness with which all kinds of food
can be produced. At San Mar
cos, and on the Colorado river,
and in other parts of Texas
there is ample water power to
turn all the spindles in the world.
This water power will eventually
be utilized. How soon the fu-
ture will solve.

Slow Trials.

The Bolton FORMAL has an
editorial on this subject, in which
it says: "Honest farmers and
stockmen seeing the difficulty
ofpunishing, by law, thieves and
rufians whose entire stock in
trade, consists of their ability to
spirit away the hard earnings of
those who dug dollars from the
soil, have been driven to lynch
law
1t is conceded that there is no
lack of law in Texas; the fault
is in its execution and the delay
with which it is executed. The
fault in too many cases is more
with the people and the juries
than with the courts themselves.
Horse and cattle thieves are
convicted with commemorate
promptness, while murderers, by
by the laws delay, escape.

A False Cry.

The San Antonio Express
says the sudden burst of pros
perity upon this country is one
of the most remarkable things
in the world. Just before the
fall elections hundreds of thous-
and, even millions of men wo-
men and children were abroad
in the land homeless and hun
cry. Such was the burden Of
the speeches of the republican
and greenback candidates for
congress. Since the election it
is supposed that all these starv-
ing mil ions have found homes,
raiment and food, as the com
plants have almost entirely
ceased. The Express further
says either this, or the starving
thousands have became SO ac-
customed TO going without food
that they can stand it until the
next congressional election time,
when grinding hunger will cause
the howl to go forth again in all
its agony. As an evidence that
times are not bad it may by
stated that the annual charity
ball given in St. Louis under
the auspices of the police netted
over $1,000, a sum, says the
Republican which is greater
than ever before considering the
purchasing power of money. In
all the large cities there is al
ways destitutlon and distress in
the winter season. The St.
Louis papers also claim that the
business of that city for the past
year was far greater than any
previous year in the history of
the place. This certainly does
not betoken such hard times as
the professional croakers and
anti-resumptionists would make
believe.

The Fulton, Galloway county,
Missouri, Gasettc is in favor of
putting the idle prisoners in the
county jails at work and made
to earn their living. 1t sug-
gests that if prisoners could be
gathered together in large num-
bers say 50 or 90 in one jail the
cost of guarding them would be
reduced and the chances Of es-
cape lessened. This could be
doue by having one jail for sew
eral counties. eff these dis
trict prisons were established,
there would be more convic-
tons, fewer escapes, and the
grade for penitentiary punish
ment could beraised."

THE San Antonio Express
says for the past six months
there have been numerous COM
plants that letters mailed in
San Antonio for New York and
other eastern cities containing
money have failed to reach their
destination. Special agent
Foster investigated the matter
and soon succeeded in arrest
ing the thief, who proved to be
the local mail agent in Phila-
delphia. He had confined his
operations to Texas mails and
had number of letters on his
person when caught.

The Honore block, one of
the finest business edhces in
Chicago was destroyed by fire
on Saturday night. Itwas oc-
cupied by the postofice, U. S.
army headquarters and as law
and other Offices. The building
cost 100000 in 1874. The
fire originated in the carpenter
shop in the basement and the
flames swept with rapidly up
the hatchway to the roof and
drove out the tenants in the
upper stories without any warn
ing. A number of persons
barely escaped with their lives.
The Southern hotel at St.Louis
was burned in a similar way
about two years ago and num-
Der of lives lost. The fire in

banks funds. twenty-five one
thousand dollar bills and $1,000

missing. Reed has been a citi-
zen of Galveston since 1858, and
was fos many years bookkeeper
for R & D. G. Mills; he had been
cashier of the bank for eleven
years and the utmost confidence
was placed in him. The closest
investigation failed to show that
he had been guilty of drinking,
gambling or immortality; he was
a very proper man in every re-
spect. He was seen on the
Houston train on Tuesday
morning.

This will hardly do, as resump-
