ABOUT COUNTY SCRIP.

A card from Mr.. Duncan will be
found under the head New To-
nav" 1t explains, to the satisfac-
ton of any fair-minded man, how
the piece of county scrip which the
grand jury say was countersigned
ain violation of law" came into Mr..
shaw's possession, and expresses Mr..
Duncan's surprise that he was not
called upon for information on the
subject, as he was before the com
mittee on the books of county Off
Gals, which interpolated in the re-
port the statement complained Of.
Neither Mr.. Duncan or Mr.. Shaw
was called before the committee.
This is a very strange way OF pro-
ceeding, to say the least. Two men
who have always borne an unblem-
ished reputation are tacitly accused
of a crime-one as principal, the
other as accessory-without being
given the least intimation that a
grave charge is about to be made
against them, and without being al
forded the least opportunity of ex-
planning away the premises upon
which the charge is based! Such
doings are we'll calculated to Sc
riously alarm even the pnrest and
best among us, and to cast discredit
upon the entire jury system.
But what is most remarkable about
this matter is that a part of grand
Jury should make such ado about
nothingi Ever since there has been
any county scrip issued in Lyon
county, the county officials have ac-
ceptsd 1t in payment Of debts, or have
had it cashed for citizens residing in
districts remote from the county
seat. This, we say, has been done
for years, and to the knowledge of
the majority Of the citizens of Lyon
comfy. Why, at this late day, a
grand jury should, even by implica-
ton, object to the practice, is some
thing beyond the comprehension of
the average citizen.
The readers of the TIMES will
doubtless wonder why, when so
many officials are known to have
cashed this kind of scrip, only one
should be found fault with! But ii
is u point upon which we cannot
enlIghten them. The fact remains,
howeyer-that while there was a
great deal of scrip presented for
redemption by county officials {"
bushel of it," grand juryman said)
only one piece Is complained OF,
and only one mau complained
against,

THE Dallas Times says:

"Thirty years ago, some of that
magnificent stone spoken of by Aus
tin with SO much confidence, as be-
ing the finest building material in
the world, was tried. The capitol
was built of it. To-day that capitol
is disgrace to the state. The pass
age of time and the flight of bats
has whitfield away the soft white
rock till this public building of the
people stands rockingon its HILL"
The Times knows well enough
that the stone of which
the capitol is constructed was
taken from the surface in soft limo
stone, and that such stone is now
condemned by builders. There is
as fine building stone about Austin
as may be found anywhere, and
there is plenty of fine marble near
Austin, that can be brought here at
small expense. The Travis county
courthouse and the federal building
and all these fine structures which
have gone up in Austin in the last
few years, are built of the hard
fiinty lime rock, which lasts forever,
and which looks almost as beautiful
as marble. Some of the fine build
ings in Waco and Dallas and other
Texas cities are ornamented with
this Austin stone, which takes as
beautiful shapes as the finest mar

There is no doubt that the

erection of a grand memorial offer.

inaugurated there should be some
little organization for the purpose
Under authority, a course of pro-
ceeding could be presented, by which
the work would proceed without
delay. The state constitution does
not permit the expenditure of state
funds for memorial purposes, and
any movement of this nature would
simply be IN response to patriotic
sentiment, for which newspaper
men are most noted.

STOCK NOTES.

Col. Robert w. Scott, of Frank
fort, KY, writes to the California
Farmer: have continued to breed
Angora goats with the greatest care
and still find them my most profit
able stock, even on our high priced
lands, the "improved Kentucky
sheep not excepted; for although
the wool of them is ready sale al
two or three cents more than Other
best woods, the mohair brings readily
double the price.
All fine woods assume the form oi
a spiral curve-the finer the fibre
the greater the number of curves in
a given length, and the number o.
these curves has much to do with
the feeding properties of wool. They
form a good test also of the purity
of blood; and a safe guide in the
selection of breeding sheep. If the
raisers understood this, the villain
GUS practice of palming of, at high
prices, grade sheep for pure blood.
would not prove SO profitable q
speculation. 1t requires but little
practice to become acquainted with
this in such a manner that any one
can, by the examination of the wool
tell grade from q pure blood.

perado has lately been arrested in
Colorado, on account of engaging
too freely in his old role of
highwayman and stage robber.
His Colorado alias is Fl. M.
Burton, and, besides his western ex-
ploits, it is related that since his re-
lease he has robbed two mail
coaches in Texas and three in Ar
kansas. White confesses to the rob-
berry of the mail coach between
Marysville and Gainesville, on the
srd of June, when he got $500 in
money. For this crime two men
are now held, in default of bail. This
was certainly an unfortunate begin
ming for what the ex-president may
have regarded as Mahoneism in
Texas . .-
