Editor CAyonicls: -
In your paper . short time since
you published an account of storm
passing near here aud doing consid-
cradle damage. A storm did pass
near here, but the reports given you
as to the damage done was somewhat
exaggerated. Little damage was done
outsido the blowing down Of timber.
A storm passed north OF this place
about SIX miles last Tuesday. April
18th, ranging in southeasterly di-
rection, which old considerable dam
age through VIM parish. Outside
Of the parish I have not been able to
ascertain anything as to the damage
done. The damage TO stock. crops.
buildings, etc, in the eastern portion
Of this parish, is considerable. Mr..
b f Erskine's place was all blown
down, apple trees blown up BY the
r,ots and blown entirely away not to
he found. Mr.. Erskiue and two of his
children were crippled. also q BROTH
or Of bis. Kindred Erskine's houses,
ETC., we're blown down aud he also
crippled. Mrs. Dias, q widow lady,
had her house all blown down. and
she was crippled BY the storm. I
have only named those who are the
most injn,ed. Other damage was
done. such as the blowing down Of
fences, outbuildings, timber. etc. The
roads are 90 completely blockaded
that passing except on foot is impos-
sible. The Erskine Bros. are COM
PEELED to leave their he mes, being
unable to repair them at this time. l
have not been able to gather the
particulars Of this storm. but it 10 dis
tresslng in tho extrome. A good deal
of stock was killed. On Friday, April
21st, We had the largest rain and
hail ever saw-the largest rain I
ever saw fall in the same length Of
time. In some places where the land
was billy the soil is entirely washed
away. think more damage was
doue east Of Dngdemonia than west.

In commenting upon the recent
trial and acqnittsl Of Mike and Dave
Hennessey for their brutal and cow
ardly murder of Thomas Deveraux,
The States says there is good reason to
believe that there is q far reaching
ring in New Orleans. Involving mon
ey, politics and nearly every species
of evasion Of the law, supporting the
supremacy Of which even murder
will be perpetrated with impunity.' :
The States intimates in pretty broad
terms that the jury in the Hennessey
trial were influenced by this ring in
their decision.

themselves acquainted with the laws under
which it is issued, and large investors no
doubt do. But there are small investors as

the laws bearing on the subject before they

they discover that the principal or the interest

of bad faith. That is what has happened
now, and as a consequence we can at present

HANCOCK DENIES 1T AGAIN.

Hancock goes upon the principle that lie
well stuck to is equal to the truth; in his
speech At Austin the other night he again
denied that he was engaged in raising troops
to invade Texas. We clip from the States
man: -,.,-.
He gave the absolute falsehood to the re-
port that he had proposed, during the war, to
assist in the invasion of Texas as federal
brieadier in command of negro troops, and he
stated that, while Mr.. Davis knew the repor,
was utterly false, he allowed it to 60 as truth,
participating in this respect with falsi6ers, as
the receivers of stolen goods becomes parfi-
feps e,iminis in theft.
Hancock is now on trial for veracity. The
people have too much pride of character to
support q man who will unblushingly utter a
falsehood. The documents of the war depart
ment prove Mr.. Hancock to have perperated
falsehood-there are one thousand men in
west Texas who know he was so engaged at
New Orleans. We know living witnesses who
received their commissions in the federal army
through Hancock; one gentleman, who visit
ing Hancock's headquarters in the City Ho-
tel, New Orleans, as he entered Hancock
remarked of man who had just passed out
the door, "I'm going to get him commission;
he killed one of the damned SIS Of BIS be-
fore he left Texas" 1t was Captain Oaks
who had killed confederate enrolling officer
in McLelland county.

JUDGE BOONE's REPLY TO THE PIG
HEADED DEMOCRACY.

The "Times," organ of the pig-headed dem

Boone, as to his democracy and Judge Boone
puts in reply that is both manly and conclu-
sive.
CARD FROM JUDGE BOONE.
Editors Express: Replying to some gratui-
tous advice in to-day's Times, desire to say
through your columns, that regard the full
protection of the great Woodworking interests
Of western Texas as paramount to all party
considerations, and while in common with
many others, have political prejudices, they
are not strong enough to lead me in opposi-
ton, in the present congressional race, to what
honestly conceive to be the best interests Of
my people and of the city of San Antonio.
/ am content to leave the vindication of my
course in the present political contest for re-
preventative in congress from this district to
the candid Judgment of fair minded men, and
even for the hope of political preferment I
would decline to sacrifice my deep-seated
convictions in favor of protection to American
industries. B. l. BOONE.
