ELSEWHERE we publish a
card from Col. R. R. Lawther,
in which he declines calling a
judicial convention, for the rea-
son that he is vested with no
authority to do so. As chair
man of the democratic county
convention he has received sew
eral protests from Lee and Bur-
Lesson counties in which it is urg-
ed that no convention be held
and that no judicial nominations
be made. The protests from
Lee and Burleson counties rep
resent, we believe, the wishes of
the people, and in this county
a majority Of the people taken
as whole, irrespective OF party,
do not desire any nomination.
Having previously expressed an
opinion on the subject of iudic-
ial nominations the BANNER has
nothing to add. As matters
now stand there will be an open
race between judges Braoddus
and Mcfarland.

Terrific Storm aud Cyclone.

A Corpus Christi special, Of
the 10th. to the News gives the
details of the great storm that
visited the extreme southern
coast of Texas on the 18th and
18th insts. No northern mails
had reached Corpus Christi
since the nth inst. The Nue.
ces river was three miles wide
and the country between there
and San Antonio was flooded.
On the 18th inst. the most
terrible hurricane ever known
in the vicinity was experienced.
The direct center of it passed
over Brownsville and Matamo-
ros causing an immense loss Of
property. The gale commenc,
ed at S:3oA. NJ. on the 18th and
all day the wind blew with in
creasing violence and the rain
fell in torrents, lasting till 10
o'clock next morning.
Buildings were unroofed or
completely blown down, fences
demolished, trees uprooted and
shipping all destroyed. Tele-
graph lines are Frustrated and
all communication with the out
er world was cut off. The city
of Matamoras looks as if it had
been bombarded, brick build
ings being torn out of the CEN
ter of the long blocks, frame
houses completely wrecked and
the streets filed with torn and
twisted trees and roofs. Browns
vile is in little better condition
and at Point Isabel and Brazos
the effects have been most dis
astrous. The garrison and bar
racks and government buildings
were totally wrecked. About
eight lives were lost. The total
loss in property is estimated at
a round million dollars.

w. B. BONNER the man who
went a cunning and on the
street in Paris shot and killed
Wheeler, the editor of the Ban
ner, has had his bond reduced
to $1,000. He is at liberty and
has resumed his law practice.
AT the time Wheeler was shot
and killed it was considered to
have been a cold-blooded as
sassination. What mitigating
circumstances have since been
developed we do not know, but
judging from the amount of
bord, we take it, Bonner will
be tried and acquitted. This
is a case in which tie value of
continuances-to the defendant
is fully shown. Had Bonner
been tried soon after the occur
ance, he would have been lucky
to have escaped with a sound
neck.

THE San Antonio Express
says it knows that certain gen.
tlemen assume to own the DEM
ocratic party in Texas, and act
very much in proprietary
manner. We would add that
this very thing s-what causes
dissatisfaction in the ranks; the
fact is, there is now, and has for
a long time been, too much die
tation on the part of so-called
party leaders. The complaint
is general in all political par
ties.

Anonymous Writers.

1t rs said, upon what authon-
ty we do not know, that N. A.
Taylor is the author of the
"Anti-Bloody Shirt" letters in
the Galveston News. Taylor
or rather N. Il. T.. it will re-
membered travelled over a con-
siderable portion of this con-
gressional district. and wrote let
tiers to the Galveston News in
which he took especial pains to
say the people were enthusiast
tic for Hancock, he was unable
to find any anti-Hancock men.
If we remember Alright n. A. T.
in one of his letters represented
| that Washington county was
for Hancock. Before writing
the Brennan letter he spent two
days here in which time he did
not see or converse with
half a dozen citizens. The
fact in regard to N. A. T. is
that his letters on political af-
fairs carry no more weight than
so much blank paper. In his
case his personal identity would
ruin anything he might say or
any opinion he might entertain.
Taylor is a thorough Bohemian
and a brilliant writer, but his
opinions are always biased by
the side which engages him to
do the writing. A Bohemian
principles are always swayed by
the party that pays Tor them
For this reason we maintain
that the character of the man
who writes letters to newspa-
pers has much to do with their
weight. Every town and COM
munity has busy bodies and
scribb1ers; their opinions are
neither sought nor valued, and
anything such an one might
write over his own signature
would be of less value than the
paper upon which it was writ
ten. Newspapers always de-
mand the names of the writers
of communications in order that
they may know what value to
place upon the article. If a
man is known to be reliable and
his character and responsibility
are good his letters are publish
ed; if on the other hand he is
known to be a man without
character, standing or influence,
his letters carry no weight
whatever, no matter whether
the ideas advanced are good OF
bad.

Mar 9. HENDERSON has form
ally announced himself as 4 cam
didate for the Legislature from
williamson and Lampasas coun-
ties. The gentleman says some
of his opponents have falsely
willfuliy, and malrciously started
a report that he has jumped
the track. He advises them to
stop lying, because if that is
their game he viii take a hand
and beat them two to one. The
last assertion has the merit Of
truthfulness, every man has his
strong as well as his weak points

THE superintendent of the
census has established a rule
which is of considerable public
interest. The rule is, that in
any district where forty fraudu-
lent names are found in the re-
turns Il new count will be or
dered. 1t is limited that this
rule was made in order to afford
a plea for a recount in several
of the southern states where
there been a very considerable
gain in population. The cen
sus return of the south surprise
the leaders of the republican
party. They expected that the
south would lose influence in
congress. Instead of that she
will gain. 1t will not be diff
cult to find forty alledged fraud
ulent names in a district which
comprises two congressional
districts, if a recount is deter
mined upon.

The New Orleans Times has
the following in regard to a
bankrupt law, and we think it
is right:
The demand for a national
bankrupt law is increasing. At
the Banker'r convention at Sar-
atoga, resolution was adopted
favoring such a law. The reso-
luton recites the necessity of a
bankrupt law "of such a char
acter as to discourage fraud and
afford ready and efficient relief
to honest debtors, and place all
creditors, wherever located, up
on an equal footing with a
uniformity of administration
throughout the country, and to
secure prompt and equitable
distribution Of assets Of insol-
vent estates at the lowest pos
sible cost; also, to include a
judiciary system of composition
whereby the settlement may be
effected in proper cases upon
terms satisfactory to a majority
Of the creditors, without the de-
lay and expense incidental to
full bankruptcy proceedings"
A bankrupt law, containing the
above features, is what the coun-
try needs. No doubt a strong
pressure will be brought to bear
upon congress at its next SEES
sion to secure the kind Of bank
rupt law wanted.

THE LEGISLATURE.

the Dallas convention and the
platform are receiving a great
deal Of attention at the hands
of the press, the subject Of
electing members Of the legis-
lature is completely overlook
ed. The state ticket will be
elected beyond doubt; the off,
GERS Of the state at the capital
are simply executive officers.
The legislature possesses the
law making power and upon
the character of the men cleo
ted to the legislature depends
the future welfare Of the state.
If the state expects to prosper
live, progressive, energetic men
must be sent to the legislature.
Much important business will
come before the next session,
prominent among which IS the
school appropriation, the bell.
punch, the Sunday law, the ju-
dietary, the sale Of the public
lands, the question of immigrsll
ton, occupation taxes, hor
stead law, penitentiary AN
coavicts, the advertising Of tax
collectors sales and the adver-
Using of all legal sales of real
property and many other sub
jects Of Importance to the pco-
pie.
We think it has been demon
strated that the people want
and will insist upon having an
appropriation. OF one-fourth of
the public revenue for school
purposes and an amended school
law, by which the schools may
be made more efficient. The
bell punch law should be re-
pealed at once and the license
system substituted in its stead.
The old Sunday law as it ex-
listed prior to the present amend
ment should be re-instated and
! would, we believe, give almost
universal satisfaction, save to a
few persons of ppritanical in
clinations. The disposition of
petty criminals needs attention,
| the BANNER ard a few other pa
pers in the state favor the in
stitution of the whipping post,
but until the taxpayers have
suffered in the pocket for a few
more yeus we have little hope
ofits adoption; it is only ques-
ton of time-just SO sure as NOR
ais can not be regulated by law
just so sure will the whipping
post be finally resorted to. Be
fore the meeting Of the 10Th
legislature the newspapers and
the people demanded that
law be passed requiring all le-
gal sales of real estate to be adj
vertised, but the legislature in
its wisdom saw fit to repeal the
law requiring tax sales to be
advertised as a measure Of econ
omy and allowed the tax col
lectors a larger fee than ever
