Politics is all the 90 now. There is little
else talked Of in our city at present. Inc
county convention meets tomorrow at / H.
M. and the political caldron is expected to
boil with great power. The working Of
county politicians that is going on to-day
reminds one of Egyptian darkness; it IS not
to be seen, though, but can be felt from
all dir, ctions. This convention Is not 10
nominate county officers, but simplyto select
delegates to the state, senatorial and judicial
conventions, and to decide upon the manner
and time of choosing candidates tor county
officers; that is, to decide whether we are to
have primary elections or nominating con
vention. The probabilities are that the pri-
mary elections will be adhered to. The con-
vention is to be wound up with grand ratl-
hoation meeting. Hon. w. w. Lang made
a speech on the political issues OF the day at
our court house on the night of the 18th of
June. The honorable gentleman was in
| the city again last evening, on Ills way to
Corycll county, to attend the "old citizens
barbecue" that takes place there to-day.
There is big entertainment of this kind
going on near Ross, in this county, to-day,
where most of the county candidates can be
found at this hour. - Waco has been
blessed with dearth of fires for the last few
months, aud some qussi-miscreant, consider
ing this fact, and concluding that the tiremen
needed exercise, raise false alarm last even
ing over the innocent burning of pile
of shavings in the rear of carpenter
shop, and caused general stampede of red
and blue shirts

BRowSwooD, July 5, 1880.
The heavy rains in this and adjoining coun-
ties during the past few days, have made a
large corn crop certainty, and cotton is
looking WELL A large trade is expected in
the fall.--The people here are willing to
subscribe literally to any company that will
build railroad through the county, and it is
said the Central road will soon make a
proposition to Brown and Comanche coun.
lies to build such aroad if the necessary bonus
be raised.--There are three weekly
papers in this county and another, Green
back paper for the campaign, about to start
The town of Brownwood is now CON
nected by telegraph line with the rest of the
world, and it will soon be extended to Conan
che, Coleman and Buffalo Gar.--Tho fol.
lowing was perpetrated on the citizens of
Byownwood; Bishop Garrett was expected
to preach here last night but owing to rains
and the bayou being up it was not a certain
ty, and SO Happy Jack the genial boss of
one of the saloons, finding negro exhorter
from Comanche in town, arranged with
him to preach at the church that
night. Accordingly the bell was rung, the
church lighted by some unknown party. The
non-church members repaired to the church
to hear the darkie, who was shade backer
than the ace of spades, expound the scrip
lures Even Happy Jack" was seen wend-
ing his way thither with a family Bible un-
der one arm and hymn-book in his hand.
Sinners who had not been inside church for
years were there on this occasion, and it
looked as though the millennium was
dawning. Also at the same time aud place
the church people gathered, having heard the
bell, and supposing the bishop had arrived
and would preach, they donned their Sunday
apparel. Old men and women, young men
and their sweethearts came and the church
was filled, but when the big black negro
arose, struck up the hymn and led otfin {
chanting prayer, the church members were
astonished, and the surprise depicted on the
countenances as they looked at each other
and then at the black African il
the pulpit, is indescribable. Tht
knowing ones witnessed the sell to the
greatest satisfaction. Those who came witt
ladies withdrew after short time, concluding
that they were not pleased with the new
bishop, but the balance o. the congregation
remained to the close, and, finding t ley were
sold, raised a good collection for ignorant
Sambo, who expressed willingness to conn
that way again and preach. Bishop Carrot
arrived in town late the same evening, anC
will doubtless preach to smaller congrega
ton tonight.

Advertisement
about n Cotton Transaction. -

To the Editor of the Herald
DALLAS, Texas, July 3, 1850,
There appeared in this mornings HERALD
an advertisement by G. F. Carter-and he
paid we'll for the same--headed, "About a
Cotton Transaction" In reply to the same,
/ have this to say: The transaction with the
Rev. A. j. Forester, Baptist preacher, etc,
of whom there is such great stress laid on his
paralysis and his unftness for business ca
pacities, was made honestly and squarcly;
he (Forester) had been in Dallas but a few
weeks past and had hard time to get 916
for better cotton than he had this time, and
can prove it by himself, his wife and the
buyers of the colt n. MIR. Forester failed
to say Levi Il Bro. had the freight to pay
on this cotton, which amounts to one
quarter more, and Mr.. Carter and Mr..
Zimmerman went to the Dallas press to see
tn cotton and did their best to dissatisfy the
Bapts. preacher in order that they might buy
the same. hereby state that the cotton is
not worth o. and if either of them wants
this cotton at ct will give my obligation to
sell it to them at that price If Mr.. Forester
| is Baptist preacher he will never get for
gveness for the outrageous swearing he in
dulged in at the Dallas compress, because the
weigher wanted to dock him Tor rotten cot
ton. This | can prove. Another thing
Mr.. Forester has just gotten through with
law suit with his children about their share
of the estate, they having gained
one hundred acres Of land,
one town lot in Alvarado,
| C I, / l., l.
death. This, can prove By himself and
| wife. Now, in conclusion, | will add
that Mr.. Forester stated in Levi IL Bros.
store, in the presence of witnesses, that he
| had nothing to do with the ne xspaper article,
and that Levi Bros. had settled with him
honestly and squarely. Mr.. G. F. Carter
went after a reporter to write the article.
This is the way Garter tries 10 vent his spite
70: my having had him fined short time
ago before Justice Edwards, for abusive
language to me. The records show this.
Now, that | have answered all important
questions, do not want any more newspaper
controversy; it costs too much.
Another thing l should have mentioned /:
Kirk Levi had no better facilities for learning
the cotton market than Forester. He was
away from telegraph communication and
could not hear what cotton was worth. For
at least twenty-four hours after quote the
market, cotton might go down half a cent or
five cents. He would be no wiser, and if Mr..
Forester had arrived here three days after
the transaction and cotton was worth seven
cents, he would have thought he made fine
trade. In regard to the market, it has fuc-
tuated within one month at least half a cent.
This can prove by quotations of all mar
cts. wish some Of the readers of the
HERALD could see this paralyzed man, and
see ii they don't think him able to see and
know how to make trade.
