AUSTIN LETTER.
Correspondence orthe Herald.

Correspondence OF Inc htlNlu,
AUSTIN, May :, lsSO.
Having business in the city of Austin con
nected with the Dallas Wire company,
thought word relative to the city would not
be out Of place. OF course | lind things
here rather quiet. ltappcars more SO to me,
coming from the lively, enterprsiHg, thriving,
booming and growing city of Dallas While
this is beautiful city to live il, pleasantly
located and being the capital, the growth of
the city must of necessity be very slow. The
business of the city is surely on the decline,
and it cannot be otherwise, MS the extension
of the International n Great Northern rail
road from here will cut oil large portion of
its trade aud bring nothing to the city 10
coun' =, balance the loss Some of her most
enterprising business men have indicated to
me that they had an eye on Dallas as their
future home and place of business. Can you
make room for them! They have had pIen-
tiiul rains, and vcgCtat on Is Tar advanced.
The weather is much warmer, and there are
many mola mosquitoes here than at Dallas,
Politics are Dem rcratic, but what particular
phose of Democracy | do not know; but
mostly that of the Governor Roberts school;
you can rise ard explain. We of Dallas are
represented MS msrepresenting him (Robcrts)
in regard TO his views on the question of free
schools. have an invitation to an interview
with h'm tomorrow; will report results ut an
another time, have Just closed discussion
IN regard to the comparative mortality of
the two cities for the past two years. Can
you give the public correct comparison,

The Kellogg Case.
THO NCIKOssss OdbCs
Harrisburg Patriot.

HARRISBURG IatflOI.
The Spofford- kellogg case stands on all
fours with the Butler-Corbin case (from
South Carolina) decided in favor of Butler
by Republican Senate. Corbin claimed
to have been elected by the Legislature of
South Carolina just as Kellogg claims to
have been chosen by the Legislature of
Louisiana. But Mr.. Hayes refuses to rec
ognize the Legislature which elected Cor
bin as a legal body and it fell to pieces.
He also withheld recognition from the
Legislature which elected Kellogg and
sent y commission with Wayne MacVeagh
arrange the organization of a legal Leg
iSlature. The result of Mr.. MacVeagh's
mission was that the pretended Legis-
lature which elected Kellogg dis5anded
and left the Spoford Legislature master of
the situation. The Louisiana case is there
fore the precise counterpart of the Butler
Corbin case from South Carolina. There
is not the slightest shade of difference be-
tween them. But it may be said that the
Senate admitted Kellogg which settled
the matter irrevocably. The principle of
res adjudicata does not apply in this
instance, because fragrant and palpa-
BILE wrong was done in the admission of
Kellogg. There is no court in Chrstcn
dom which would refuse to open ,judg-
ment if it were clearly shown to have
been fraudulently obtained. Besides
the Senate is not strictly court of law.
1t must do equity as we'll as apply alb
stract principles of law and when legal
abstraction is on the one side and equity
on the other the Senate naturally and pro-
perly must lean toward the latter: 1t is
clear that if the Senate did a lawful and
righteous act in admitting Butler as
senator from South Carolina. it committed
a grievous wrong in seating Kellogg. Ger
tainly the Senate can review its former ac-
ton and correct the error into which it fell.
Mr. SpOfford has as clear a claim to seat
in the Senate as Mr.. Butler of South Caro-
lima, or for that matter. at any other sena
tor from any state and there ought to be
no further hesitation Or delay in awarding
If to him.

Not q Matter OF Prejudice.

In the discussion of the admission
of colored children to the Home for
Friendless Children in this city it has
been charged by the Examiner that their
exclusion hitherto had been lowing
principally to the narrow prejudice of one
person connected with its management
against the color of black skin,' and
in reponse to this intimation the INTEL
LIGENCER said:
By its sneer at 4" the narrow prejudice of
one person connected with its management
against the color of black skin," the Er-
Gminer intends to hold up to public ridi-
cule that excellent Christian woman, Mrs.
S. NJ. Kramph, whom everybody comedies
to be the good genius of the Home, and to
whose deep-r rooted aversion to the COM
mingling of the two races much Difference
has been paid. Those who know her know
that from the outset the Home has been
the object of her unselfish devotion, of all
her time and anxiety and labor to it she
has given her love, her affection and her
money anG it is no wonder that the SEN
sible men and women who have cooper
ated with her should in some measure
share her "prejudices in all things re-
lating to its management.
Justice to Mrs. Kramph requires it to
be said further that she has no 'preju-
dices" in this matter. In fact it may be
said that she is not a woman of preju-
dices but of deep convictions on all those
questions in which too many people al
low these prejudices to guide them to
conclusions. She has always advocated
the widest extension of political rights
to colored people, and her concern re-
garding the social intercourse of the two
races is only that which is felt for their
mutual good by the great conserva-
tive majority of every well-Ordered
and intelligent community. Just as
the editors of the Erd,nincr and
Inquirer preserve this social distinction
she would preserve it in the household
Of the Home family. Twice at meetings
Of the Home managers, when a majority
Of them were present, a vote being taken
on the admission Of the cclored children,
it WAS voted unanimously to admit them
to all the privileges of the Home, condi-
toned that separate building he prOvid-
ed for them, 10 that while all their rights
should be carefully preserved, that social
intermingling Of the races should not be
encouraged, which mas never yet worked
any good where it has been practiced.

MANY people in these parts who think
kindly of ex-Gov. Joel Parker, Of New
Jersey, as presidential possibility, will
read with satisfaction the sketch Of him
which is printed on our first page to-day.
There are men who are much more prom
inently named than he for the Demo-
cratic nomination and some who have a
much stronger positive following, but
when conventions break up into frag-
ments over the leading candidates and
"dark horses are called to the front to
harmonize things, the record of Parker
exhibits g staying" qualities that may
strongly recommend him.

A sample of the Stuff that is Sent Out from
the Washington Club Room.
The Sherman club has employed re-
porter to prepare articles for publication
in the newspapers which are supposed to
be friendly to the Sherman cause. Last
night two articles were prepared in the
club rooms and taken to the offices of Ger
tain correspondents to be telegraphcd to
their journals. The bearer of the para
graphs bore Il letter to well-knOwn cor
respondent from the secretary of the clnb.
One of the news items of the Sherman club
is of such an interesting character that it
should be given general circulation. 1t is
as follows:
GA gentleman from New Orleans says
that all the best men in the Republican
ranks of that city are for Sherman. The
followers of Grant are hungry political
wolves and the hoodlums of the city
Pinchback who was in Washington 9not
long ago begging the appointment of
naval officer Of that port. and who upon
refusal went away with curses and
threats in his mouth, has tapped !.
bonanza silver mine-some say it is by a
roundabout way through the prospec-
tive marriage of Miss Flood to young
Grant-and has started Grant organiza-
ti)n in that city. He is established in fine
quarters, lots of clerks and more money,
and is swinging out in a way that is calcu-
lated to attract all the scum of that sec
tion. He has written letter to President
Hayes expressing righteous indignation
against the of1ice-holders there for alleged
violation of the civil service rules. 1t is
known that this is simply screen to cover
up the operations of the Grant office-hold!
ers, who monopolize the places in
that city to large extent, and
to cast odium on tho Sherman
movement. There are a few prominent
Grant men in that section of honest con-
victions. One of them states that it is
very doubtful about Grant getting the ex-
pected delegation from that state. He
says Sherman is overshadowins him. His
chances are better than either of the other
candidates.
The other para graph furnished by the
club pretends to give the views Of citizen
of Rochester, who says that he belongs to
the Manse association, $4,000 strong, the
members of which are for Sherman solid.
The paragraph is abusive of Mr.. Conkling.

In the Kansas Republican state conven,

to the national convention passed by a
vote OF 1888 to 11S. Mr.. Morrill, offered a
resolution nominating presidential electors
which was adopted, the Grant men refrain
ing from voting.
Among the resolutions adopted was the
following "That James G. Blaine has
the confidence of the Republicans and
that we recognize in him a statesman
worthy to lead the national Republican
party to victory that he is the choice of
the Republicans of Kansas for presi-
dent of the United States, and that we
pledge him our united support
The convention adjourned at 80 O clock
a. m. and subsequently, during the morn
ing, delegates from the Third district met
in caucus and elected two delegates to
Chicago-each received majority of the
delegates in the district. They are both
Grant men and will claim seats in the Chi
cago convention. In the Second district
the same action was held.

They had gathered together a number of
other articles for the purpose of tax

The thieves made very little noise, and Mr..
Johns got out of bed because he was un-
able to sleep, little thinking that the house
had been broken into. AS it was, the robbers
were frightened Off before they secured
much OF value.
