Davis, Hancock and UpsOn:

Ex-Governor Davis is out as candidate for
Congress in this district. We suspect he will
poll large democratic vote. We base this
suspicion on several facts. We have read
from time to time for the last five or six years,
in the leading democratic papers of the state,
that Gov. Davis was an honest and a capable
man. We heard the last legislature
applaud to the echo the assertion, by a repub-
llcan member, that Davis had made one Of the
best governors Texas had ever had. These
things being so land they cannot we'll be de-
MED with much success), and as the demo-
| cratic party never elects any but honest and
capable men to Office, we suppose Davis will
have walk over the track. The only demo-
cratic objection that has been raised TO Davis
is that he has not good judgment in selecting
his subordinates. This objection might held
good if he were a gubernatoral candidate.
but it looses all weight in the congressional
issue.
Judge Hancock, now that he has returned
to his fathers house, like the prodigal son,
after undergoing many hardships on the out
side, is also mentioned as congressional
candidate for this district. He has been here
before, and did well. Like Davis, his union
record would give him weight with the admin
istration. He would make an excellent con-
gresham.
L Ison name has also been mentioned in
this connection. He is San Antonio man.
so we have heard and if so, will not receive
much encouragement from what is known rs
the Austin ring. If Epson runs, he will have
have a grea deal of explaining to do to the
masses, particularly to the sheep men of his
district, who are quite numerous and infuen-
iial. He will have to satisfy them that he is a
free trade democrat in favor of tariff for wool
only. Then again, unless the Congressional
Record lies, Epson made very elo,, at
speech in the house in favor of expeditine the
star route thievery. This also will have to be
elucidated. The campaign promises to be
very warm as soon as the hot weather holds
up so that the gladiators can wrestle little
with each other on the stump Sitings.
The democrats Of Palestine took advantage
of the crowd who came to see a negro hung,
to hold political meeting.

Yesterday afternoon, about Ago, Mr.. w.
Coegshall, carpenter of this city, was bathing
in the San Antnnio river, above the Abat ford,
in company with some of his children, when
one of them, his daughter Viola, got out of her
rdepth. He went to her assistance and was
soon in danger of drowning. The cries of
the children brought Mr.. F. E. Ferry and Mr..
]. M. Marshall to their assistance. Mr.. Mar
shall swan to the little girl who was holding
on by snag and supported her, when she
cried, "oh, save my father" and he reached
out, secured Mr.. Coggshall, supporting him on
his thigh. Mr.. Ferry came up in boat and
took them ashore. The girl was saved, but
Mr.. Coggshall was dead.
Justice Adam held an inquest upon the de
ceased last night, when verdict was rendered
that the deceased came to his death from &C
cidental drowning whilst attempting to save his
daughter.
Mr.. Coggshall was carpenter by trade,
aged 40 or a. years, and is said to come from
Missouri.
For short time he has been employed by
Messrs. Order & Son. He appears to have
been in very destitute circumstances, and he,
his wife and family of eight children resided
in tent about mile above Abat ford. On
Wednesday last his wife was delivered of a
child, and this sad event has so effected her
that her life is in danger.
The widow and children are left destitute,
ard the former is not vet able to do anything.
1t is therefore to be hoped that the charity
societies and the kind-hearted ladies of our
city will look to them to see that they do not
want in this, their hour of need, and if possible
| to devise some means for the future.

ley acknowledging his gratitude for formal

that tho relations Of England with all for
elgn nations are at the present time cordial.
The proposal for commercial treaty with
France had not been concluded, but there
has been no falling of in tho friendly in
tercoursc Of governmental dealings between
the, two countries; but on the contrary
such an increase OF international
courtesles as had strengthened the
bonds Of friendship ut present uniting
them. The Queen then at length recites
her thanks for the successful operation Of
the British army in Egypt Inserting that
the success had avoided other measures
which were tending to disturb the tran
guilty OF British possessions existing in the
East. The growth OF the revenues, al
though retarded, hnd suffered no diminu-
ton, either in the general receipts or the
duties on intoxicating liquors The distress
and disturbed condition Of affairs existing
in Ireland were referred to with particular
regret, that their outcome had been assas-
but it was hoped that the great
social improvement now noticeable in that
country would continue under the new
laws: The House was then prorogued to

whether Wallace or Mckinley shall receive

manifested, as similar contest has never

statements which have appeared, naming
him for the second place on the Democratic

not aspire to that distinction for many
reasons, chief Of which is that under all
circumstances he would not feel able to

complimented by isunanimous reelection
to the next Congress, and regards it as an
unqualified Endorsement by his constitu-
ents OF his course in the House.
