A NEW celluloid is said to be obtained

A NEW celluloid is said to be obtained
from well peeled potatoes, which are
treated for thrty-six hours with a solu-
ton of eight parts of sulphuric acid in
100 parts of water. The mass is dried
between blotting paper and then pressed.
1t is further stated that in France smok-
ing pipes are manufactured out OF this
new material which are quite equal in
appearance to the meerschaum. BY
heavy pressure the material acquires
such hardness that billiard balls can
be manufactured from it.

Gov. Hamilton VS.. the Press.

We copy in to-day's issue an
article from the Denton Journal,
repelhng the false charge made
by Governor Hamilton that the
press of Maryland was subsidized
by giving them the laws to pub
fish. The article is logical aud
forcible, and successfully refutes
the Governors accusation. The
recklessness and audacity of the
charge from one holding such an
exalted position is perhaps unpre-
cedented and it is unworthy Of a
guileless and fair-minded individ-
nal in any station OF life. Cover
nor Hamilton could not have for
gotten how the Democratic press
stood firm by the party and its
principles from 1861 to 1865,
when it was stripped of both coun-
4y and State patronage of any
hind, and when it labored under
@lr the perils and disadvantages
with which the Republican party
eeald encompass it. He could
not have forgotten that some OF
the Democratic papers were sup
puessed and the editors torn. from
their families and homes during
those years. He could not have
forgotten that during that dark
period, that Democratic Offices
were threatened and destroyed.
He could not have forgotten, too,
that the act requiring certain laws
to he published in the newspape
was Of Republican origin, aud
that the Democratic press had no
part in it's passage. Phis wanton
assailing OF the Democratic press
Of Maryland is probably due to
the fact that the editors thereof
have failed to see the wisdom oil
the Governors State policy, and
viewed in that light it is an exhi.
bitiOn of intolerance and dogma
tism unworthy of any one, much
less Governor OF a State.

The County Seat Question-How 1t
Looks from Bear Greek.

BEAR CREEK, Hays Co., Dec.ll, 1881.
EDIToR FREE Press;
| wish to offer few thoughts through
your columns, il permitted, in regard to the
location of the county seat First, wish to
call the attention of the voters OF Hays
county TO the shape of the same. The coun-
ty is of kind of oblong shape, and its great
est length il from southeasterly to
northwesterly direction, and the boundary
line between this and Travis county Is its
longest line, which throws one corner of the
county into kind OF point or acute angle
which extends north OF the Perdinales river,
aud is almost Cue north from the centre of the
county, and is near 80 miles from San Mar
cos. Well, now, to run straight line dago-
nally across the county lengthwise, you will
pass near Hays, our proposed county seat
aad find San Marcos away down in another
acute anglcd corner of the county, almost
due south from the centre San Marcos is
I, tlated so far down into said corner Of the
county that / do not think would be exag-
-ating to say that about one fortieth part
- it is contained therein below San Marcos,
and about thirty-nine fortieths of it above
San Marcos. Now the question is, isit right
for the county seat to remain Mt San Marcos?
Is it for the general good of the people of
lie county? If 80, how? am aware that
the advocates for retaining the county seat
a; San Marcos argue that they have the
rown, and it is beautifully situated, that
tley have the health, the institutions of
learning, the mills, the water privilege, the
railroad, and all other conveninces.
Well, now, if you have all these good
THINGS, why not be satisfied with them, and
let us have the county seat up somewhere
near the centre of the county? We are will
Another argument is that you are near the
center of the population of the county.
Leave San Marcos out and you are far from
it; but suppose it was the case, would it not
lie more fair and right for you folks down
in that part of the county to travel 10 or 10
miles to get to the county seat, than for us
to travel from 90 to 40 miles for the same
purpose? had hoped that many citizens of
Ssa Marcos and vicinity would look above
and beyond personal interests, and prefer
ences to the general good, and vote for re-
moval; but it may be a forlorn hope. 1t is
human nature, know, to get all we can,
and crave all the rest, but a man, to be q
man, must to some extent conquer that
principle. Men sometimes have the power
to do many things whichit is not right to do
and if you should have the power to retain
the county seat at San Marcos, L will never
think it is altogether right to do so. You
have, and would have without the county
seat, beautiful thriving rail road towr,
surrounded by thousand natural advanta
ges, and beauties. j. d. CADY.
