The Thompson Case.

Following are the closing scenes in the
Ben Thompson habeas corpus case, as
given by the San Antonio Cypress.
'Col. Walton said that he was through
with the witness and ready to submit the
evidence to the court, unless the prosecu-
ton wished to postpone. He did not
need continuance but might, perhaps,
get additional evidence If they should de-
sire to wait.
Mr.. Teel said that he was ready to
have the courts decision without further
argument; the prosecution needed no
continuance. '+
"Col. Walton said that, in that case,
he would not attempt TO consume time
by trying to change the opinion of the
court. If his honor had made up his
mind, as he most probably had, it would
effect nothing to try to change his de-
cislon but if the court was in doubt on
any points in the new facts brought out
by the additional evidence he would cite
authorities and try to maintain their
claim. But if there were no points of
doubt, the court must have come to a
decision, having carefully weighed both
the addition facts just adduced and the
former evidence which had come before
him.
Judge Noonan said that he had care.
fully weighed the newly introduced evi.
dence, and considered its bearing upon
that formerly before him and could see
no new facts which would alter the legal
status of the case, therefore he would be
obliged to affirm his former decision and
must refuse the application for bail.
Judge Walton gave formal notice OF
appeal, which will take place at the regu
lar term of the court of appeals. If bal
is denied there, that, will be the last re
sort before final trial here, unless new
testimony is found on which to demand
| another habeas corpus before Judge
Noonan As afidavits have already beer
made, it is thought that of course, an
effort will be made to take a change OF
venue to some county other than Bexar
| Several witnesses have already made
affidavit that Thompson cannot get jus
Iice in this county"
The appellate court meets early next
month, and Ben will have to remain in
| Jail for about two weeks before he can
have his hearing before the upper court.
His counsel appear to feel confident OF
success in securing bail from the appel
late court. They say they did not ex
pect it from Judge Noonan, and that they
went before him second time only be
cause the law compelled them to take
| thatcourse in order to reach the higher
court, their first appeal having been with
| drawn.

Edmund ,. Davis.


Western Texas people not Dem
ocrats and Independents alone
should read the remarks of Judge
Terrell on the Davis regime in
Texes, and then ask themselves if
they can vote to place their interests
again in the power of the head and
front of all that offending. Up to
the very day that Davis announced
himself as an Independent candi-
date tor congress, no man was more
bitter against the Democrats than
he, or who would resort to greater
extremes to infiict political punish.
ment upon them. His greatest
efforts up to the date of his candi-
dacy were to place in Office the very
men who were most despised, and
would be most feared if placed in
power-men blinded by active
and vindictive prejudice and
totally INSCRIPTIONS in everything
pertaining to politics or the exercise
of the power it confers. There was
not even semblance of his relent-
ing in his implacable hatred of the
Democrats who protested against his
tyranny when in power until he
came again asking for their votes to
place him again in position where he
could draw his old and dreaded
henchmen from their obscurity and
again elevate them to places over the
people.
That Davis should have the assur-
ance to ask the people he ouce
ground down in fear and humilia-
ton to vote to place him in position
again is surprising but that any good
citizen with knowledge of his Of
ficlal history should vote for him
would be still more surprising.

another shot as king.


lSan Antonio Express.1
Saturday last the Galveston Meacs
turned its long Tom loose again on
the practice, IN the deaf and dumb
asylum Office, of using the states
material and workmen for private
printing without recompense. And
the shot was an effective one. The
Bombastus Furioso at the head of
the adjutant-general's office may yet
realize that he made mistake in
using the state printing Office and
state printers to illuminate his pri-
vate opinions of newspapers and
state politics. Gov. Roberts had
just as much right to have his book
printed at the deaf and dumb asylum
printing Office, he paying for the
white paper alone. as Gen. King had
for having his address printed there
in that way. But King will reap
one advantage from the manner of
securing his private printing done
at so little cost. 1t has served TO
prevent his address from falling
still born, though it is not attracting
the kind of attention he calculated
upon.

BENNETT BEY.
How the New York Herald sue
ceeded In interviewing the
Sultan.

A New York letter says: "When
the Herald printed its interview
with the sultan of Turkey the world
held up its hands in establishment.
A monarch guarded as is his serene
highness, one as reticent as he, con-
sent to be interviewed by Q news
paper reporter? Impossible! There
must be some mistake! Yes, there
was some mistake. His most gra-
cious majesty, the sultan, was not in
terviewed by reporter, nor even q
correspondent. The person who
performed this daring and diplo-
matte deed was none other than the
Heralds undaunted proprietor. Mr..
Bennett was lying off Constantinople
in his yacht, and entertaining
among others the United States
minister to Turkey, Gen. Lew Wal
lace. Gen. Wallace is on the most
pleasant terms with the SULTAN, and
he told Mr.. Bennett that he
thought it would be q good time
to interview him on the war
in Egypt. Mr.. Bennett thought
SO too, but how was it to be
done? "Leave that to me-" said
Gen. Wallace. The sultan, it must
be known, is one of the most ardent
admirers of America and everything
American. Gen. Wallace told him
that the proprietor of the biggest
paper in America was lying off Con-
stantinople in his yacht. His serene
highness has heard of the Herald
and of Mr.. Bennett, and he express
es desire to see him and talk with
him. Gen. Wallace, in the most
diplomatic manner, suggested the
propriety of an interview, the result
of which might be made public
through the columns of SO represen-
tative paper. This rather pleased
the sultan, and he appointed day
aud sent for Mr.. Bennett. You may
be sure that Mr.. Benefits Journals
tic instincts arose to the situation.
He took his secretary, Mr.. S. s.
Chamberlain, with him and set forth
for the palace. While he drew the
sultan out, Mr.. Chamberlain took
notes. This meeting had two re-
sults-the famous interview in the
Herald, and the comforting OF the
order of Osmanli upon Mr.. Bennett,
who is now. Bennett Bey.

The tiresome military convention
has been signed by the porte after a
series of dilatory motions, extend
ing through nearly two months.
Epgland's last concession was that
the sultan could land two or three
thousand soldiers at Port Said, but
they are not to spread themselves
around free from British restrictions.
They will probably go to Port Said
and there they will stay, to family
symbolic the sultan's cherished
"suzerainty" over Egypt. The sui
tan will take care that they go no
further, and he will undoubtedly
secretly send explanations to. the
Mohammedan world that he does
not mean by this act to an
tagonize or persecute his broth
er churchman, Arab Pasha. If
that latter impression should get
abroad in Egypt or Arabia, the sui
tan knows there would be strong
probability of rival caliph at
Mecca, and his own de facto caliph-
ate would be at an end. At first he
wanted to undertake the business of
regulating Egypt alone, but England
declared that she would not consent
to the military occupation of Egypt
by Turkey, knowing that if this
point was conceded her manifold
interest in that country would be
seriously jeopardized. The sultan
reflected that he could not undertake
to fight England because he would
be whipped and would have to leave
Constsntinople and retire to Asia
Minor. He has chosen the humili-
ating course of submitting to British
dictation, and in this light his sign
ing of the military convention will
soon be regarded by the Egyptian
Mohammedans, whatever may be
his assurances made to them. He
does not seem to be making any eff
fort to restrain the anti-English ex-
pressions of the Turkish newspapers
at Constantinople. They are deeply
in sympathy with Arab, and the
sultan, indeed, has not disguised his
own sympathy with the Egyptian
rebel.

THE PRoBLEm VERIFIED.

THE FhOhLEM v EhAEAEDs
The 10Th day of September came,
and with it the occupation of Cairo
the Magnificent, by the British
troops, and the surrender of Arab,
the traitor. The work has been
quick and decisive, and England is
once more mistress of her undertak-
ing, planting the power of the Brit
ish Lion in northern as well as south
ern Africa, and commanding the adj
miration of the world for her brill
liant achievements in war as well as
in peace. Her military and naval
renown has been added to, and her
General Wolseley becomes one of
the most distinguished military men
OF the age. 1t has been often stated
that when this distinguished COM
mander sailed from England,
q month ago, he then said
that the Egyptian campaign
would be finished on the 18th of
September, and the fulfillment
ofthls promise, under so many diff
culties, is q reality. Were this the
first time he had so figured out, in
advance of single movement,
marches, occupation and surrenders,
fixing the day of the enemy's over
throw, it might be regarded as
accident; but twice before, once in
India and then in southern Africa,
be has worked out military problems
on paper, aud fixing the stated Sc
quel for a given day, he has
moved his men and munitions of
war, and mussle and nerve and brave
hearts have this many times in great
undertakings proven by deeds that
he figured under the impulse of mill
tary genius. But Gen. Wolseley
serves great government, one hon
estly administered, which VIXEN
1t votes budgets for military and
naval purposes applies public money
to public purposes. Il is said that
England has voted not more than a
third as much as the United States
for naval purposes in the last eigh-
teen years, and yet its navy was III
q condition to transport troops and
munitions and ornaments sufficient
to subdue Arab and his army, on
their own soil, three thousand miles
away, within one month. Had the
United States been called ON to do
such thing, Arab would have had
@ years time to organize and fit HIM
self up before there could have been
troops enough moved to make foot
hold on the land of the enemy.
Neither was any of Gen. Wolse-
ley's time occupied IN look
Ing after "jobs'" by which he
might grow rich out of war; he
did not loiter on the coast line, nego-
tiating for cotton in the interior,
allowing it to be smuggled through
the lines for the benefit of himself
and speculative associates. He de-
voted himself to demonstrating the
truth of the problem he had worked
out in England; he accepted the
rlgors of war, closed the Suez canal,
and at the end of each day
he saw that so much of
this problem had been CIPHER
ed out with men and guns.
Truly he is great military
chiettain. He neither wastes time
nor men, does not hang around a
Vicksburg or Richmond, decima-
ting his own armies and starving out
the enemy. He believes in pushing
his lines with each day, and task
for each day is set and done. 1t
Is not a divinity that shapes ends
for him, but it is generalship and
the strong hearts and unflinching
heroism of the English soldiery,
even under a tropical sun amid
burning deserts.
