Some Crows.

Lexington (Ky.) Prose.
a gentleman who resides near the
elegant premises of Mr.. Inskeep, about
six miles north of our city, reports
what is probably the most stupendOus
thing in the way of q crow rOOst that
has ever been seen since Noah's crow
went TO roost in the olive tree. The
rOost is in the magnificent woodland OF
Mr.. Iiskeep, and our informant esti-
mates the number Of birds at 100, 0O0,-
OUO. He says the biggest oak trees have
been uprooted, and smaller ones crushed
into kindling wood by their weight
that the noise made by them is so great
that the people for three miles around
have to stuff cotton in their ears, and
are only enabled TO communicate with
each other through speaking trumpets
after the crows begin TO assemble. Cat
tie weighing 1900 pounds have been
killed by the birds and their bones
picked clean, and the skeletons OF hogs
and sheep which weighed from $50 TO
POO pounds are dangling from the trees,
where the crows have carried them, and
the whole country is strewn with bones,
as in the prophets vision of "the valley
OF Jeh saphat." Shooting at them is
exceedingly dangerous. y gentleman
in the employ OF Mr.. Inskeep fired two
shots into one of the trees and narrow
ly escaped sullocatiOn from the falling
birds.

The President.s nIessage.

Mr.. Hayes sent in his annual message
to Congress Monday. 1t is a volumi-
nous document and would be mighty
poor reading If man had anything
else to peruse. He begins by charging
the South with fraudulent practices at
the late election in denying voters the
right of "freely casting their votes, y
and goes on with this sort of fol de roi
regardless of the fate of Ananias and
Sapphira. He is careful, however. to
make no allusion to the systematic CO.
ercion and bulldozing practiced by his
own party in the Northern states.
The message recommends the sup-
preston of poIygamy in Utah and sug-
gests the disfranchisment of all who
practice it; it reports favorable rela-
tons with foreign powers, and referring
to the development of foreign COM
merce suggests notifications of our
regulations of trade and navigation
aud subsidies to steamship lines as helps
To secure that trade. A summary OF the
finances is given showing surplus reve-
nue. to the amount of $9O,OO0,0OO, and
the message recommends the applica-
ton OF this amount to the reduction of
the public debt. 1t also urges the COM
Pletion of the refunding operations and
reduction of interest; the retirement of
the greenback circulation and the
coinage of silver dollars s'of equiv
alent value as bullion, with gold dol
lars" The latter proposition is, of
course, in the interest of the National
banks. After recommending with some
degree of warmth the improvement of
the Mississippi river and tributaries, as
an imperative result of the success OF
the jetties, and touching upon a multi
tude of minor matters, the gentleman
who is drawing Mr.. Tilden's salary
brings his last annual message to a
close. 1t is Mr.. Garfield's turn next

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-09-16

The attempts were failures, the Act
of 1875 especially so. Its object was
10 make universal the better Gus
toms in behalf of the tenant that
prevailed in certain sections. But
the act contained a clause by which
the tenant might sign away his
rights under the act, and of course
the landlord in letting the land. in
sisted upon such signature. 1t is
claimed that this act failed. because
people dislike to interfere with the
freedom of contracts, but while the
tenant is at so many disadvantages
before the law, it is difficult to see
how he can help affixing his sigma
ture to any contract the landowner
chooses to make with him. The
Irish tenant takes land at rental
which he knows, and the landlord
knows, never will be and never can
be paid. If he were called upon to
sign away his life, he would have to
do it and then take his chances with
the police and process servers. The
English tenant is in much the same
situation. 1t is only difference of
few turns of the screw; he too has
but HobsOn's choice, to sign away
his rights, or to find his occupation
gone. 1t is not love of freedom of
contracts, but necessity on the part
of the tenant, and the self-compla-
cent arrogance and bland and child
like rapacity of the landlord that
have rendered the act of 1875 inope-
rative. Is it surprising that these
farmers come to Texas?
