Current Politics.

Austin list week was the centre of attrac-
ton because of the two conventions there,
viz the democratic congressional conven-
ton for that district and the republican or
Independent State convention. MIR. Epson
and his friends for some reason not clearly
apparent; refused to go into the former,
and the result was the nomination of Han
cock. He is in Europe, but we learn has
cabled his acceptance. What the Epson
men will do remains to be seen. Some think
they will come to the support of Hancock,
while others believe they will hold off and
the result will be the election of Davis.
The Davis State convention followed his
lead in all things, and an alliance with Wash
Jone seems to be settled thing.
Another matter which has created no lit
tie connection was remark made by Judge
Ireland in a speech at Gonzales that person.
ally he was in favor of allowing denomina-
tional schools share of the public school
fund. He said this was allowed to the
school of Jesuit sisters at Seguin, and to
Coronal Institute at San Marcos, and he
Thought all others similar should have the
same privilege. The comments on this re-
mark show that the current in Texas is ell
the other way. Siftings aptly says:
If the remarks of Judge Ireland were in
tended as feeler, he will find by reading
the papers that as feeler they were sue
cess. They have developed more feeling
ON the subject than was supposed to exist,
aud the drift Of it all is in one direction, and
it is solid in opposition to any union of
Church and State.

Removal.

As we write, Miss Russell, proprietress Of
the San Marcos Book Store, so we'll known
as an accomplished business lady and gener-
al personal favorite, is engaged in the re-
moval of her stock to the handsome rooms
of D. 8. Combs, lately occupied by Cham
pion & Co. as a drug store. With the ex-
quisite good taste which distinguishes her
happiest inspirations, Miss R. has recognized
the fact that the best location in town is on
the east side, nearly opposite the new
Court House, and within close range of the
illuminating influences of the FREE Press.
Nearly years stay at less favored point,
appears to have fully satisfied her of these
great truths. We need not say how cordial
ly we welcome her rvturn. The owner of
her new location is also to be congratulated
on securing such tenant. The exquisite
neatness and elegance of her style of store
keeping we think ought to exempt her from
the payment of rent, if not entitle her to a
premium from her landlord. Her new quar-
tiers are four or five times as spacious as her
late location, and for the first time since her
advent in San Marcos will she be eligibly
situated for pleasant and satisfactory bust
ness. She will now have more room for a
larger stock, and to display it to the best adj
vantage Most heartily do we congratulate
our leading business lady, and wish for her
q success equal to her deserts, than which
surely nothing better could be hoped for
her.

It's physical features are not the least in

at every turn, is of itself remarkable fea-
ture. Dayton, Ohio, is somewhat similar,
only the far more prosaic canals take the
place of the river Mt San Antonio. Then it
is at once metropolitan and rural. At the
junction of two of its principal avenues,
built up with stately stone residences, we
noticed a thicket of mesquit and other SINH
lar shrubbery where children might play
mt hide and seek to the best advan-
tage And all around are suburban residences
with spacious park-like grounds. What is
known as the Lewis place, one of the hand
soonest of these, we noticed especially at our
latest visit last week. Then the numerous
parks and gardens, places of public resort,
add still more to the attractions and delights
of the city. Here her people, at a trifing
expense, and at all seasons of the year in this
fine climate, may repair for amusement or
relaxation.

The star Route Trial.

CONTINUATION OF wALsH's cRoss-kxA ANIMATION
After the report OF the star route trial In the
frst edition closed, Mr.. Wilson examined the
witness {WalshI as TO the suit he Instituted
against Brady to recover balance due. Mr.. VIII
son submitted the afidavit OF Walsh in that suit,
In which one OF the loans given by Walsh on the
stand as for $4,000 was set down as s., 400 The
witness said that that was q clerical
error and was not the account as given to witness
TO his attorney. The witness having been asked
whether his present statement was 70 be believed
or his af1davit then made, the wit
ness replied in very easy man.
ner his present statement for "this is more
rigid In the examination, and not ex parte." The
witness included among the credits note OF J. b.
Price for 5000 given him by Senator Kellogg
for Brady. Mr.. Wilson cross-examined the
witness very closely as TO his suit against Brady
here, and his attachment suit against Brady In
New York. The witness said his suit in New York
was brought for $40, 900, less the credits due
Brady. Mr. Wilson read the affidavit In the New
York suit, which said the claim was for $42,S74
over and above all counter-claims. The witness
said he left the matter with his lawyer f. ii.
Grandon, OF New York. who said he did not want
to put the credits in the bill.
Witness said that I'm the interview between
b rady and himself, Brady told witness IL he
wanted to go to the courts he could try It. but no
one had ever got the better or him BRADY in that
way yet.
At three O'Clock the court adjourned until Mon
day.
