"My Partner at Turner Hall,

Bret Harte never created character more
true to western life than did Barley Campbell
when he conceived Joe Sanders, the hero of
"My Partner" Joe is a sturdy miner, reared
among Gods green temples and unconsciously
acquiring in their pure atmosphere more en-
nobling sense ofiustce than do the people of
smoke begrimed cities. He loves Mary
Brandon, whose own love has been bestowed
on his partner Ned Singleton and who has
surrendered to his partners trust woman's
dearest treasure. He declares his passion
and Mary. weighted with her guilt faints.
Then Ned arrives and Joe learns all. At pis-
tors point ne makes Ned promise to marry
the woman he deceived. Subsequently Ned
is killed by an enemy to Mary's father and
the stain of the crime is placed on Toe San
ders. While he is under arrest Mary who.
distracted by Ned's death, had wandered on
the mountains, returns home and meets with
silence the questions Of her father, to satisfy
whom Joe announces that she is his wife. To
make good his assertion he is compelled to
make marriage vows in the presence Of JUS
tee OF the peace. Then, after all hope has
long since fled, fortunate discovery is made
and the real murderer is apprehended. Toe,
true to his love, continues the deception, for
he looks on Mary as "My Partners widow
who is now his wife
The tone of the play is healthful and the fun
ny incidents Just numerous enough to relieve
the general pathos. and the lid western earn
estness OF Joe's imprisoned eloquence.
MY Partner was presented at Turner hall
last evening, with George w. Thompson in
role of Joe Sanders. The acting throughout
was admirable, and Thompson proved that he
had good claims to be considered the most
faithful of actors in his Interpretation of the
lines in portraitures of Western scenes. II Is
a matter of regret that Mr.. Thompson's en-
gagement was for but one night.

LAREDO, Nov II, 1882.
EVENING LIGHT.
Night before last man by the name of
Frank Hough was found dead at Louie Dw,.
er's butcher stalls; he was of German descent,
about fifty five years of age. His death was
supposed to be from exec ,sive drink.
Yesterday the Hons. John Hancock and J.
D. Sayers arrived from God knows where,
but they stopped at the Wilson house. They
had a great many callers. We are looking
for George p, but he will hardly stop on this
side. He might get position in the Mexi-
can army, as revolution is anticipated
Mr.. P Babcock was arrested yesterday and
tried for insanity, was judged insane with
out restraint. Bah got off a good Joke on the
nudge comparing the court to kangaroo court.
Ii the truth could be ascertained there is more
crankS in Laredo than Babcock since Finlay's
defeat.
The citizens are getting up another fiesta, or
fair. am requested by leading citizens to
say that all arrangements are being prepared;
this morning the grounds will be laid out
Capt. Victor Marel, of quarantine notoriety,
will have charge of the grounds. Great credit
is due to the citizens, for they are energetic
people. much larger crowd is anticipated.
Horse racing and sporting Of all descri ptions
will be on the programme. Breeders Of fire
stock are specially invited Game chickens
specially. Where is Pat Kavanaugh
Mr.. Charles F. Bennett has opened fine
club room something that was never thought
OF in Laredo before. Laredo is getting more
and more on the enlightened list every day.

sogFEERy PAPER ON REPgDIsTIey.

What Tennessean could comment
upon the testimony which discloses the
use of poisons in politics. When we
find in Tennessee the methods Italians
used centuries ago, long abandoned in
all countries unless it be Turkey and
Abyssinia, words fail There is no
language developed in which to ex-
press adherence Manhood sickens
and the very stomach of manhood turns
in disgust If it were not too clearly
revealed it would staggar belief. When
it was whispered last winter we utterly
refused to credit it. The very truth
must be told. Tennessee has won the
dishonorable distinction Of disclosing
in her politics the most damning blot
ever laid upon any State in this Union.
Let it rest where it belongs. The
party which taught Tennesseans to dis
regard the public faith, broke up all
ties of private faith and obligation, and
all respect for law, and made this thing
possible here-possible nowhere else in
America, we hope. Let no injustice
be done. Ninety tynine huhdredths of
members of the low-tax party are as
deeply filled with shame and scorn as
any of thessneoEle of Tennessee, and let
it beeconfessthat this fatal principle
taught by, tkgs low tax leaders did not
alone corrupt themselves. It has surely
touched some of the weaker and worst
of all parties. It must be remembered
that this internal principle of repudia-
ton of public obligationssand the ties
of public faith has SO broken down all
obligations men owe to seath other, to
the State and to the law, as to haye
made this possible. When chat is
said, let us remember that this is the
shame of us all, because it rests on.
Tennessee until she redeems herself.
The thing now is to put an end forever
to this radical communism and to ban
ish birds of evil from Influence in Ten
nessee politics. Nashville American.

An gngreatfai Member.

There was but one vote in the
Tennessee legislature against the
resolutions ofrespeet and sorrow for
the character and tragic death of the
late President Garfield. 1t is hardly
necessary to explain that the mega
tive vote was cast by Beasley, the
ornate ass who mixed mp Socrates,
Cicero and Jesus Christ in a string
of reputation resolutions during the
last session of the legislature. His
objection was to the word patriotic
Ia word which he hardly under
stands. TheeaHal- -motiyefin his little
son, ,showeEoa, WAS no doubt, the de
Sire of netorietv, the same thing
which inspired Guitean to. assassin
