LeNGVIEw, Oct 5 1880
After nearly week of rather favorable
weather, this vicinity was visited to-day by
heavy rains, north and northeastery, to
the further detriment of the cotton crop.
Longview generally gets 10000 bales or
upwards, but this season the most sangune

$1,000 so much have boil and army worms
aud excessive rains injured the crop. In
many tislds the cotton is sprout-
ing in the boil, or if not
far enough matured for that the boil is rot.

tious irregulsrity in the receipt of the issues
of the HERALD ut this office, and after as
thorougi an examination us an outsider can
make, no doubt exists but that the trouble
is with the mailing Office or the route agents.
Some complaint exists about the eastern
mails. Papers are needles,ly delayed and the
leugtn of time required for their transmission
from New York, for instance, to this point,
varies from three to five or six days.
Not great while ago package OF letters
came TO this office in the Longview pouch
for many points on the International and
Texas Central, and also for points on the
TIansc influential division, the main stem
of the Texas & Pacific. In addition to these
railroad points there were others for postof-
fees OF the line. | am informed that this is

A car load of cotton caught fire Saturday
evening, and about twelve bales out of tho
forty-eour were destroyed. 1t was covered
|by insurance. Cotton receipts are compare
lively light to-day, the decline in prices and
tho favorable weather for picking being the
cause. --Lsst week tne farmers complained
of the rain damaging the cotton; this week
they complain that they have not been able

DEATH OF DR., @, NJ. Walden.

The mercantile community OF this city were
greatly surprised and shocked yesterday by
the intelligence of the death of DIR. G. M. Val
den, which occurred at o'clock p. M. at Val
den, Miss. The deceased was a.member OF the
cotton firm Of Walden, Hawkins d Roberts, Of
New Orleans, was large planter and deeply
Interested In educational matters.
His death may be said to have been the re-
suit OF his zeal In the cause of education, for
his last illness was occasioned by attending
the session of the Legislature at jackson,
Miss. to endeavor to pass bill In the interest
Of the University Of Mississippi and for the
benefit Of the poor young men of the State,
some sixty Of whom he was educating at the
university at his own expense.
DR.. Vaiden's death will cause sincere sor-
row, not alone In this city. where he was es-
teemed by large circle OF friends for his
many high qualities, but also In Mississippi,
where he was best known and where his
many acts of benevoence and OF whole
souled generosity won for him the affection
of the people He was an honorable and
sagaclous merchant, and a citizen who full
filled all the obligations OF citizenship with
cheerful alacrlty, and his death is not only a
calamity to his relatives and friends, but to
the public at large.

The Minden Tribune is somewhat puzzled
over the recent action Of the police jury Of
Webster parish, who passed an ordinance per-
hitting citizens living on the west side Of the
Dorcheat to cross the bridge over that raging
stream free Of toll and compelling those re-
siding on the east side to pay whenever they
found 1t necessary to cross over to the west
side. In the absence of any especial Inform
Ation on the subject this indeed appears lit
lie queer, and We hope the Tribune will de-
mand an early investigation Of the subject
Although 1t Is not likely that an action could
be sustained against the police jury for viola
tion OF the civil rights bill, they might be
hauled over the Goals for interfering with the
Greeley doctrine" which declares that the
young as well as the old shall ego West
without hindrance. II upon investigation 1t
should be found that some contagious disease
prevails upon the east side of the Dorcheat a
board OF health would be fully competent to
deal with the matter and might establish q
quarantine at the bridge, where the infected
oast-siders could be fumigated In the most
approved style Of the sanitary art As our
contemporary intimates. the police jury are
hardly justifiable In an attempt to make fish

1eeh of the other.

re Is now understood In New York that
under no circumstances will Horatio Sey-
mour accept the presidential nomination.
MI. Seymour has been widely mentioned In
this connection. and 1t was thought that he
could be induced to put aside his personal
preferences and accept the candidacy. 1t
appears that there is something else besides
these personal preferences which will render
bis candidacy impossible. In q conversation
: few days ago he told Mr.. y. q. West that
he did not believe man ever fully recovered
from an attack Of sunstro1e; that half a
dozen men spending an hour In his room dis
Cussing political matters would deprive him
o3 sleep for an entire night, and that under
such circumstances no person was In condi-
aOn TO stand the wear and tear to which a
candidate Is subjected. and much less could
be perform the duties Of. the presidential
offlce. Since this conversation it has been
understood In New York that Mr.. Seymour

Induced to allow the use Of his name for the
Nomination.

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia Times
calls attention to the danger to the Republi-
can party Of the proposition to elect presiden-
tial electors In New York and New Jersey by
congressional districts. He Insists that 1t
would be taking advantage of the people, and
the Democrats might be expected to retaliate.
He shows that the Democrats control the
Legislatures of Indiana and Oregon. and
can easily secure the electors in those States
by the means relied on by the Republicans In
New York and New Jersey This would give,
according to his calculation, IT'S reliable
Democratic votes In the Electoral College,
and It's Republican votes. Connecticut Is put
down as doubtful but conceding her electors
to the Republicans, they would still lack one
Of majority. AS for the votes OF Rhode
Island and Maine, which are not estimated In
the above calculation, he believes that Con-
gress would be induced by any Republican
manipulation of the votes Of New York and
New Jersey to declare that there was no cleo
ton In these States, because In the one there
[ would be two sets OF electors claiming recog-
milton, and In the other naturalized citizens

effect has been to invest the Times with some
very undesirable attributes Indeed. Among
ourselves the matter would call for
no mention. We who have lived here

that the knights Of Menus have simply beef,
