EDITORIAL NOTES.

The American Humane Society
offers prize of fvethousand dollars
for All invention of IAN improved
cattle-car in which animals can lie
down and be watered and fed on
their journey TO the markets, so
avoiding the suffering caused by un-
loading from and again reloading
cattle into cars" Each inventor is
advised TO file caveat at the United
States Patent-office. The award viii
be reached as soon after October /,
1880, as practicable. which seems Il
very short time. The right is re-
served of dividing the $1,000 into
two or more prizes, if it is thought
the end in view requires it. All
competitors are required TO send
models and plans to Edwin Lee
Brown, Chicago. Ill.
Gen. Grant has Japanese BODY
servant. His name is Yiseddo, and
he dresses like an American and car
ries cane. He told reporter OF
the Denver Tribune. in very well
chosen but queerl y pronounced Eng
fish, that he found Spanish more like
his own language than any other,
and that he had learned it readily
and enjoyed practising it ON the
Mexicans whom he met in the
United States. He is Buddhist and
thinks that his religion is much like
Christianity. In fact, he believes
both religions came from a. single
faith ages ago. He said that Japan
regards the United States as a model
nation, and is initiating many of the
ways and customs of this country.
AS an American partly and partly
because of his part in helping to set
tie the difficulties between Japan
and China, the Japanese regard Gen.
Grant with affection and admiration.
Yiseddo individually finds the fulfil
ment of his highest desire in being
permitted to accompany Gen. Grant
on his travels.
What brought the famous
Thomas Hughes to America this
time is the settlement of colony in
Tennessee under a scheme original
ed when he was last here and now
pretty well matured. He is the
moving spirit in company of Old
and New Englanders with capital
of $7,500,000, a part of which has
been invested in the purchase of
over 100000 acres of. land on the
Cumberland plateau, on the line of
the recently opened Cincinnati
Southern railroad. Mr.. Hughes rep
resents that the professions in Eng
land and the army are oyercrowded,
and that this scheme, under proper
conditions, will open a new field of
enterprise to large class of Young
Englishmen, who could never hope
to secure much advancement in
their own country. 1t is a good
idea, but all depends upon the way
in which it is carried out. If Mr..
Hughes, with his big head and heart
and his command of the respect of
the entire English-speaking world,
were going to stay on this side OF
the water until the colony is on its
feet, we should have less doubt of
its success. 1t will not, do to leave
it in the hands of his fellow philan-
thropists of Boston.

TEXAS POLITICS.

Judge G. c. Stribbling of Shack
elford county was nominated for the
Legislature by the Eastland conven-
ton.
Burgess, of Seguin, will come
to the state Senate, and the state
will be benefited by his presence
there.
AT Calvert the Republicans are
turning their backs upon the Green
back nominees, and viii support true
Republicans, which they claim a
Greenbacker cannot be.
The Greenbackers met at Hearne
on the 25th and nominated Captain
Dodson, of Leon, for senator J. w.
McNutt, for district Judge; A. n.
Smith, for district attorney. They
then organized county convention,
with Hal Geiger, as chairman, and
after nominating a few of the offices,
they broke up in row over the at

Flooding Infidelity,"
10 the Editor Of the statesman

To the Editor of the Statesman
Under this caption you took oc-
casion to express your strong con-
domination of vicious men who,
though playing the role of christian
ministers, are base villains. You
are certainly right in saying that
the wicked and disgraceful deeds of
such men should be rewarded with
condign punishment. Both Justice
and mercy demand that a man who
prostitutes to basest purposes the
most sacred calling on earth should
meet with the due reward of his
deeds. Aud it is an outrage on the
gospel to attempt to cover up the
crimes of such men, for the fair
name of Christ demands that
as soon as their evil deeds
are known the men be hurled
from their high positions. Yet there
is danger of your article being mis-
understood. While these men are
worthy of all the condemnation and
execration Won express, yet no man
has any right TO allow the crimes of
such men to feed his infidelity.

pected. for evolves in sleeps cloth

thus the scriptures are fulfilled.
The point is this: While bad men
ought TO be punished for their
crimes, no matter what the calling
of such men, yet 10 distrust the
Christian ministry or to doubt the
religion of Christ, because amid
many thousand ministers. there il

able statesman, / have concluded to

your able and purely edited paper.
If the people of Texas had failed or
refused to have supported Judge
Roberts after his many proofs of
honesty and capacity, it would have
appeared as though they did not want
an honest man to fill the Office of
Governor. His nomipatiop at Dali

u Mad Dog Enns Amucl1 Through tho
County, and is ItiIIcd after Doing Con-
siderable Damage.
Winnsboro was quite excited in
Saturday by the reports of the damage
caused by q mad dog in the country
near by. y large black hound, foam
ing at the mouth and Swapping vioious~
ly, appeared Oh u plantation below
town Oh Saturday morning, and bit
several other dogs, a.d finally young
colorcd man, Jim Goings, tearing his
phntaloons and scraping the calf Of his
leg. Escaping pursuit it took up the
Winnsboro road. Mr.. W. A. Nc
Dowcll was walking along with his
wagon when, without prcmonition of
any sort, nc felt a grip on the calf of
his leg and looking back found the
dog tugging nj his pants, 1Ic shook
himself loose, and the dog took to
flight closely pursued by sNIr. Nc
Dowell. IT ran into Captain Gail.
lard's place and bit two dogs belong
ing to him, and q fine mule owned by
ono of his tenants, Silas Rosborough.
1t got ont again to tho road and ran
into Mr. W. 3. Creight's carriage
house, when Mi. Mcdowell and a col
ored man dispatched it. The parties
bitten came on to town and had their
wounds cautcriZcd. DR.. Robertson
thought there was little danger in Mr..
McDowclrs wound, as the skin was
very slightly dbradcd, and the CLOTH
ing most probably prevented any of
tho saliva from penetrating it. Tho
colorcd mans wound was somewhat
deeper. But the cautcrizing is OK
pectcd to remove any of the vi''ms that
might have entered it. This dog is
believed to have run muck fora day
or two. Mr.. Lawrence Carter saw q
dog answering this description passing
through Mr.. Samuel Crawford's place
on Friday, and it had just previously
bitten all the dogs OH Mr.. S. w. Rufr's
place. Report said it was q hound
belonging TO Israel Byrd, but subso-
qucnt story was to tho effect that the
dog came from somewhere on Broad
River, and that 1t had bitten dogs and
other animals all along its route.
Captain Gaillard had his dogs killed
and the colorcd people generally have
declared a acrusadc against all the ours
and bencll-legged fees i'll Tho county,
Tho only way to insure immunity
from hydrophobia is to kill all the
dogs that have been bitten and ali
others that arc found roaming about.
