RenmOut IL, Buck

Prof. J. G. II. Buck, the father Of Beau
mont B. Buck, yesterday morning returned
from New York, where he has been during
the past two or three weeks, lsboring in the
interest of bis son, who is involved in trouble
because of having shot j. G. Thompson, jr.
He reports that the public received him
with great kindness, examined with interest
the many testimonials which leading citizens
of Dallas had furnished respecting the sons
character, and have become satisfied that his
antecedents are honorable in every respect
Public sentiment is MS uniform in Orange
county, New York, in the young mans ia
vor rs it is in Dallas city, Texas Many per.
sons have inquired into the matter with
deep interest, and had become convinced
that it was but another instance OF the
meaner sort of that mean and cowardly Gus
tom called "hazing" They had reached the
conclusion that if only deadly resistance
could check it, that such resistance should be
made. Hence, when the grand jury found
the mild indictment which they presented,
an aroused public stood ready to yindicate
the sentiment il indicated as actuating the
Jurors. Wealthy and prominent citizens
signed his bond, and every evidence neces-
sary was offered to show 18th father and son
that no unmeriled penalties would hereafter
| be likely to be pronounced againt the son fol
his desperate vindication Of himself agans'
persecution and course of insult that vii
be fully set forth on his trial.
The citizens had seen through the ex partC
Misrepresentation Ofthe whole affair, and IL
their indignation we're ready to condemn the
principal of Highland Falls academy, wh'
had so acted as to encourage the wrong
done to young Buck. Many of them vert
outspoken in their opinions that Caleb Hous,
was really responsible for the whole trouble
The entire community of Orange county
from the noble-hearted sheriff, b. B. Odell
who has been with young Buck day ant
night, to the remotest citizen, who haC
learned from others the stories of his wrongs
seem to have but one opinion, and that wa
one of excuse for his self-defense, If not o
absolute approval.
This feeling pervades the community o
West Point also. Professor Buck formed
the acquaintance of numbers of the cadets
and found warm friends in them who re
joiced at his sons release on bail and pros
pect of early admission as one OF their mum
Der. General Schoteld received father AM
son most cordially, and gave them kind sug
gestions ss to the sons best st0psi in order t.
secure his entrance in September, and CAV
them to understand that no prejudice woul
work against the son among the officials u
West Point.
We take pleasure in adding one ststemen
which Beaumont Buck made to his father a
the latter WAS leaving 1t was that he wa
determined that his friends, sooner or Later
should know the whole story OF his prove
cations and wrongs that they might Sc
clearly that he could not honorably have EN-

discussion of his administration and his pol
icy. He defended his common
school policy, declaring that he
had always favored public free schools,
and that all he had suggested in his measures
and done rs governor, had been il their in
terest. He claimed that as early rs 1873 he
had addressed a letter to prominen. educators
in the state on the subject of public schools

homes, and it was served in lavish nnd
superb style. The people of that section
are well to do, are supplied with all the com
forts and numerous of the luxuries, and they
are the souls Of hospitality so there was
nothing in the way Of edibles, either IN guam
| tity or excellence.

chilly.

He Plead Guilty,

In the federal court yesterday w. j. Legg,
who was charged with robbing the United
States mail while deputy postmaster in the
office at Fort Worth, of $500, which he pur-
Joined from registered package, plead
guilty to the charge. AT the time of bis
arrest, which was some four months ago, he
was brought to this city and lodged in jail,
where he has remained ever since. Prior to
his arrest he was faithful worker and was
regarded by Postmaster Alexander ss being
thoroughly reliable; but while handling the
packages of money, according to his own

ton and took the registered letter containing
the amount already mentioned, thinking he
would DO able to replace the amount before
the loss was discovered. The court has not

Lastevening the street cutters were wash'd
out, and as they neededit badly, great deal
of filth was carried out of The city. Under
the old contract with the water works, the
city had to pay five dollars every time the
CUTTERS were washed out, but with the new
contract the water for the streets is included
with that rented for fires and other purposes
DIR. Carter, the health officer, who does hi
best to keep the city free from filth, say
that he'll have the cutters washed ont twice
instead Of once week hereafter, and, if j
becomes necessary, three times week
Without frequent washing out such warn
weather ms tnii, the cutters become filthy an(
very offensive to the smell.
