potent Conclusion.


Since our last record two other
negroes were killed by tho mob at
Orange, Ono Of Thorn voluntarily
give himself up, and the same day
was murdered. Before his death ho
gave information most clearly crimi-
mating Dalano,thc white leader Of the
band, who was in Jail, and certain
white confederates OF his, persons
who on account their wealth had
heretofore defed justice, Tho negro
stated that the vito OF one OF them
had offered him $500. to burn the
town. Yet in the face OF all this
Delano was not only not lynched, not
only not brought to prompt trial, but
was actually admitted to bail in tho
sum Of $4,000. on his promise to
leave tho country. We copy the
Just comments from tho Houston
Post:
Tho unexpected clemcncy of the
cople in reference to Dolano, no
torious criminal, oxcites surprise and
and severe comment Negroes who
surrendered were shot down, but the
ring.loader of the band, for some UNI
explained reason, is permitted to give
bond and to leave the country. 1t is
true we are not exactly in n position
to Judge of tho policy of this eXtraor-
binary action OF tho Orange people.
1t is probable that they have adopted
this method of getting rid OF u bad
character with his family and accom-
Dlices as the most obvious and easy
of execution. But, in doing 80, it
should be borne in mind that they
have left themselves under a re
proach of compromising felony and
snmething even worse, Immediately
upon the heels of passionate breach
of the law in the summary execution
of Saxon and his companion. This
is unfortunate in the last degree.
The eXigency of tho occasion, the
turbulence and excitement of the peo-
pie may possibly be plead in exten
uation for the precipitate action in
reference to the killing of the ne
groes, though they cannot justify the
violence. But tho deliberate inter
ference with the procedure Of justice
in the case OF Dclano, who should
have been indicted for larceny, arson
and murder, and his being turned
loose upon the general community
with the accusation of these crimes
accompanying him wherever he goes,
is nm act not only indefonsible but
monstrous. We do not see how the
people of Orange can defend their
action in the premises. TO be sure,
they may thereby make shortcut
to the peace and order they so much
desire, but the method by which this
desirable end is obtained is both an
illegal and IN unmanly one. Why
should they discriminate between
Saxon, the tool, and Delano, the in
stigator? Why should Orange rid
herself of criminal citizen at the
expense of the people ut large!

The Drought at the North

On the principle that misery loves
company, we may not feel so for!orn
over protracted drought and conse
quent very short crops, since it is as
certained that nearly all the Mississip
pi valley and portion of the Eastern
states are INDEPENDENTLY bcttcroif.
A dispatch from Marion county,
Illinois, one of the largest and best
agricultural counties in that state
says: .'The drought in this par. Of
the country is alarming. No rain of

Important Ruling by the Governor OF
Texas Upon the Form Of tic UniYer-
sity Ticket.
Under the law, electors may vote for
any other places than those named in
the university election proclamation.
The following forms Of ticket are
suggested by the governor as in con-
formity with the law and consistent
with reason:
First form: Against locating the
medical department of the university
at different place from that OF the
main university"
"For the location of the entire
university of Texas at
Second form: "In favor Of locating
the medical department Of the univer-
sity at a diiternt place from that OF
the main university"
For the location of the main uni
versily of Texas, without the medical
department, at
"For the location of the medical
department of the university of Texas
at.
The governor Geduces from the law
and the reason of the thing that votes
cast for a place for the entire univer.
sity, will not onlyandof course count
for that place for the entire universe
ty, if division of tue departments of
the university fail, but it will count
in favor of that place for the main
branch of the university, in the event
that a separation of the departments
be voted. and SO rice cerSa, vote
cast for a place for the main branch
of the university, will not only and of
course count for that place for the
main branch of the university, if di-
vision prevail, but it will count for
the same place for the entire misor-
sity, in the event division of the de
partments fail to be carried.
The governor further says that as
the question of the division of depart
mcnts has to be voted on under the
law separately, a voter may refrain
from voting if he choose for or against
the division of departments i'll the
university, and simply vote for the
location of the entire university, or
the main branch of the university or
the medical dopartmonthcing at some
given place. and his vote as cast Will
be counted rs one vote for such place.

THE CONTEST Grows WARM.-Not
only do the magnates themselves grow
warm and vigorous in regard to the
construction of the Northern Pacific
west of Wallula, but the press of both
Oregon and Washington seem to warm
up not little in regard to this ques-
ton. The Oregonian leads the Ore
gon press, and several other papers fol-
low in its wake, favoring suspension
of work on the Cascade branch of the
Northern Pacific, while the Tacoma
Ledger, and nearly all the papers of
Western Washington and most of
those in Eastern Washington, protest
in behalf of the people against any
suspension of the work that is to give
us the shortest route to Puget Sound.

Moscow, I. T., April 10, 1881.
EDITOR TELLER For some weeks
your "Chiel that takes notes" has been
absent from Moscow, and no doubt as
result thereof, many interesting, and
some very important items have gone
oblivion that would else have been
handed down to future ages in pre-
served files of the TELLER. But we
must not permit our remorse OF
conscience because forfeited opportu.
mites in the past to induce neglect Of
present duties, and there are few
things of which mention may we'll
be made. To the farmers and team.
sters, the quality Of the roads is an i'm
portant factor in their calculations, and
that just now is deep question, in
places the upland is dry, but the mud
holes have simply "stiffened up" to
their work.
Drummers are a very enterprising
class of men and hotel keepers are
slightly tainted with sel6shness, and be-
tween the readiness Of the one class To
put in an appearance and push their
business, and the encouragement given
them by the other in SO doing,
the poor over-worked(D merchants
get but little TIME to devote to their
customers. "Verily there is no peace
for the wicked" and even SO good men
as Steele and Lieuallen don't have any
rest to spare.
A "right smart" Of wicked men,
have turned from their evil ways, and
are now angels in all things but wings,
as result of the last Winter meetings
held at the church by the different
sects combined, who for the time being
laid aside sectarian differences and did
their work in the spirit of the Apos-
ties Of old. But the story that George
Wilson had been converted turns out
to be mistake, and George to-day
would bet Oh Bob Ingersoll, sooner
than he wonld on Bishop Simpson or
Henry Ward Beecher.
