No. 80 would give satisfaction 10 the

District Judge Mccormick writes that he
faYors block No 90, and says the marshal
agrees with hin. IL seems that Circuit
Judge Pardee entertaiDs the same opinion.
The department has takon 10 action on the
report
\ From this IL appears that the postmaster,
whose duty was not TO select but 10 rec0m-
mend, has taken into consideration only
the present, with but little regard to the
future business prospects OF the city. To
one who has watched the growth Of Dallas
in the past five years IL cannot but
be apparent that the centre of business
is fast shifting its base, and the Dallas
three years hence is likely to present an
entirely different appearance from that OF
today When such an important building
as post-otiice Is to be erected, of a others
it should be located in the business centre
of the town, or as nearly as possible, Now,
it will take at least three years to put up
this government building, perhaps longer,
and no man can but say, who has watched !;
the extension of business, that in five or six |
years the business portion of the city will
be at least five or six blocks further east
than now. The opera-house of the
future, the new stores, banks, churches,
all will have to be built to suit the conven-
fence of the people, and population will
have its centre at that time close around
the Union depot. Shall the city Of the tu-
ture therefore be constantly subjected to
the inconvenience and annoyance of having
its Federal court building, the post-office,
off at one end of the town? Ought the
postmaster of to-day do the future Dallas
this injury? And cannot the department
find better means for settling for us this
important measure? | think il you can
throw any light on these questions or bring
to bear the powerful weapon, you WELD
in the premises far more satisfactory ar
rangement it might be reached.
Let the department send special
agent here for that purpose,
trusted and intelligent servant,
who could from purely disinterested
standpoint canvass the entire situation, and
with both the peoples and the govern
ment's interests in view for the future, as
well as the present, settle definitely the
location of this important building. trust,
Mr.. Editor, you will publish these views,

PALESTINE, October 30.-The independ-
ents and republicans OF Anderson county
have already held several public meetings,
but thus far the democracy have not been
heard from. On Saturday Hon. Frank
Templeton, of Cherokee county, independ-
ent candidate for senator from this, the It'll
district, addressed the people at the court
house here and stirred up considerable ex-
element. His speech was quite aggressive
and he handled the record of some of our
Legislators without gloves, declaring that
threefourths of the last legislature did not
seem to know that the Contederacy was de-
funct. None of the aspiring young bloods
of the democratic party undertook to ans
wer him, so Colonel N. II. Tucker, candi-
date for the legislature from this county,
came to the front and advocated the doc
trines of the democratic party ably, elo-
quently and quite effectively. Senator
Gooch was not in town to answer for him
self. The meeting was an interesting one
and good feeling prevailed all through the,
discussion
