THE DEATH OF G. B. LIPscoMR

Tho sad intelligence has gone abroad
throughout tho state of the death of Garland
b. Lpscomb, Of Marshall. Many hearts
ache to-day that but yesterday, as it were,
0eot gladly and ioyously in the love of this
true gentleman, who has gone to his long
homo in the summcrland On "Wednesday,
after brief Illness, Colonel Lipscomb was
gathered to his fathers, at his homo in Mar.
shall A noble man, made in the stamp of
true nobility and of true manhood, he was
one of those spirits who, by their force of
character, their versatility, their geutleness of
heart, their unwavoring fidelity to duty and
to the right, their genius, their strict sense of
justice and of honor, their warm faithfulness
to friendships, their manly manhood under
any and all circumstances, and their devo.
ton to the public good, leave their impress
wherever they live, upon their surroundings.
1t seems but a few short years ago, about
1857, when Garland Lipscomb came to Texas
from his Tennessee homo, settling in Mar.
Shall, poor in purse, but rich in energy, will
and integrity, with a young wife, Just taken
to his bosom, to do battle with tho world as
best might become man. With, at most,
but few dollars, he began the study of
the law, and early and late no pored over his
books, storing his mind with legal texts and
drinking deeply at the fountain of legal lore.
He not only studied in the common accept
ance of the word, but he bent all his ener.
gies and his strong mind 10 his books, until in
little while he was enabled to stand his ex-
animation and receive his license as q prac.
titioner of the law, 1t was but brief season
until he manifested such legal abilities that
the late Judge William B. Ochiltree one Of
the grandest legal luminaries that ever
graced the bar of Texas, offered
him q partnership, and with that
gentleman he practiced his pro.
fession until the war came on in 1861.
Almost from the first day he opened his
Office in Marshall as apractieing lawyer, bis
success at the bar was an assured fact. Con-

DEPTH OF WATER AgTHg JETEIEs
Captain Ends Says the Great Eastern
Can Pass Through with safety.

Yesterday Major Behan, administrator of
commerce, received the following letter from
Captain Eads ia relation to the depth Of
water at South Pass and the Feasibility of the
steamship passing through:
ST. LOUIS, Sept -, 1850.
Major j. IL, Behan, Administrator Of Com
me- ce, New Orleans:
DEAR SrR-At tho suggestion of Colonel
H. +. Rivers have telegraph 4 you the fol.
lowing this morning:
"Gleat Eastern can safely visit New Or.
leans and return drawing twenty.eight feet"
Attho head of the passes, and through the
jetties, there is au ample channel for the
Great Eastern, drawing one foot more than
this (twenty-nino feet las the channel at both
places i, thirty feet deep at mean water tide,
and is n good channel, III the pass itself,
within two miles Of tho head of it, some work
would have to ha done with my drodgebosts
to insure her uninterrupted passage drawing
over twGntyso, en- feet. This can be easily
corrected in a lew days if she comes, so that
she could 60 through it drawing twenty
nine feet although the depth for some dis.
lance is but twenty-seven feet.
You are doubtless aware that the law does
not require tho maintenance of over twenty.
six feet above the iotties and thirty feet
through them. | have therefore, neglected
to deepen the short distance in tho pass
probably 800 feet, through which less than
thirty feet exists just now, as It has been un-
necessary.
l should like TO have early information of
the time of her expected arrival if she
should come, MS would have one or two Of
the mud Jumps outside the jetties deepered
to insure her more room or width of chan
mel. These are not in the way of ordinary
vessels of twenty-lour or twenty Ave feet
draft, and would not probably be in her way
but If she comes | Go not wish 10 hsve
any uncertainty about her easy entrance
and exit had lump dredged away in
July and August, on which there were but
seventeen feet Of water, and which stood in
the direction of the channel and about 500
feet in advance of the j.tties, but which WIS
easily avoided, although two or three
steamers struck it. 1t was, like all the Jumps
at the mouth of the river, of soft but
tenacious clay and not dangerous. The
entrance is now much better than it was be-
fore.
The tides at the jetties are only daily not
twice day, and average only fourteen or
fifteen inches.
lhaye the honor, ETC., very respectfully,

votes are as follows

They give up Indiana. By this count they
obtain two majority; but there is not a
politician that expects New York or New
Jersey will go Republican in case Indiana
should go Democratic in October" Of the
states mentioned in the above list, it is folly
for the Republicans to count on carrying
New York, New Jersey or New Hampshire,
and We believe they will lose California and
Connecticut, and will not be surprised if
they lose also Pennsylvania and Colorado.
These last two named states, we do not wish
to be understood as holding out any hopes to
the Democracy that they will be lost to the
Republicans, but they will certainly be saved
to that party, If at all, by greatly reduced
majorities. But no battle is lost until it is
IN, and untiring labor and strict vigilance
ist DO the rule until after November

The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1880-10-02

The Herald thinks that the chief bone Of
contention betwe the Irving and Tammny
halls wings of tho Democracy in the city OF
New York, is the choice of q candidate for
mayor, and is of the opinion that if they
agree on these questons that it will be i'm
possible for the Republicans to carry the
state in November. The Democracy of
New York having amicably settled their
main differences, aud being now united and
harmonious, thcre will be no trouble over
tho mayoralty, although Mr. John B. Has
kin', prominent New York politician, says
to the Herald that 1.-THE Office of mayor of
the empire city is the third office now
in political and executive patronage, and
Importance in the union. 1t has never here
tofore had so much patronage Tor distribution
among the faithful connected with its power
and authority MS now A comptroller cor
poration counsel, commissioner OF public
works, commissioner oftaxcs, excise commit
soners, police magistrates aud numerous
other smaller Offices are within his gift. The
Office, in patronage and power, is greater for
the next three years than that of the governor
o. the state, and second only to that OF the
president Of the United Sta.ys. It's the great
bone of contention between Tammany and
Irving halls"
