San GeronemO stone.

Mr.. Baldus city clerk, is quoted in an even
g cotemporay with locating the quarres
jom which the stone was quarried for the
trimmings for the Laredo court house, on the
Sun Set rail road. The stone Came from the
C!ifden quarries on the San Geronemo about
half way between San Antonio and Bandera ;
the greater part being dressed at the quarries
and hauled by wagons to San Antonio and
shipped by the International to Laredo. The
Post Office, Groos' Bank and other fine build
ings in our city are constructed of this mater
iaI. The stone has been tested and analyized
by the U. S. government and pronounced one
of the toughest and best quality of building
rock in the country and Gen. Meigs, late Q.
M. General told Maj. Kampman that in all
his experience he never met with anything
superior.
These quarries are offered for sale, and
1Would be a fine investment for capitalist.

The Turner Hall and Mrs. Swisher.

On last Sunday Mrs. Swisher was announc'
ed to lecture in Turner Hall. The time fixed
arrived and the hall was not opened, and the
lecture did not come off. The explanation
given by the party in charge of the hall, Mr..
EIiygers, was that the rent of the hall had no,
been rendered. The Times says:
Now we have a few words to say about the
manner in which the managers of Turner hall
treated this lady. They gave as an excuse
for not opening the hall that they had t. be
paid in advance. We do not know whether
that is their custom or not, but we have been
informed that it is not, and we know that not
one word was said to that effect to the person
who engaged the hall for Mrs Swsher, or the
money would have been paid when the hall
was engaged. 1t was not supposed that the
managers Of Turner hall would treat woman
who is known, at least byreputaticn, through
out the whole State OF Texas as lady IN
every respect, as an irresponsible tramp. Ii
hey had not desired to rent the hall tor
temperance lecture, they could have said so at
once, and that would have ended the matter.
1t is not to be supposed that Mrs: Swisher
would have rented the hall if she had not in
tended to pay for it, and we think the man
ayers of the hall have placed themselves in a
rather unenviable light, to say the least.
The truth is, as near as we can learn it,
that the editor or proprietor OF the Times
had undertaken to secure the hall for Mrs.
Swisher, and to arrange for her lecture, and
rs he did not pay the rent, and was not re-
,arded as very responsible party, the hall
vas not opened. We suppose there is no ex-
act rule about renting the hall except that the
~ent must be forthcoming. The editor of the
Times should have given his check for the
amount and not said word about it, and it
i, entirely out of place to try and throw the
bame on The managers of the Turner Hall.
The Express chimes in in this style:
Perhaps, if the lecture had been on the sub
iect of "The Beauties of Beer Drinking the
lall would have been promptly opened. As
t was, Mrs. Swisher was the first to meet
stumbling Blocks in the Way of Temper
lnce Reforms" We think it shame that
respectable lady of the highest character
hould have been thus insulted and treated
ike an irresponsible tramp. "Oh, shame
where is thy blush -
If there is any blushing to be done we sus-
rest that those who failed to produce the rent
money do it. Mr.. HilgerS is not an ungallant
nan, and will 60 as far as the editor Of the
Express or the editor Of the Times to accom-
nodate lady, and if he had undertaken to
upply hall for Mrs. Swisher, the ridiculous
,lenouement would not have occurred.

THE BOLT.

The refusal of the Carthage Gazette
to support Col. Marsh, the republican nomi-
nee for congress, gives the followers of
that gentleman no little uneasiness. The
paper goes for Marsh in the following
fashion:
When we say that at least one-third of
the republican voters of Hancock county
will not, U1lder any circumstances, vose Cor
Marsh, and that a majority of these, in
order to insure his defeat, will vote for the
democratic candidate, We speak the words
of truth and soberness. Such is the dis
gust, and even bitterness, which the
methods of Marsh and his managers have
engendered in the minds of a very large
portion, if not majority of the republi-
cans of Hancock county, that they can
not be cajoled or bull-dozed into his sup
port.
