From st. Louis.

| OF. LOUIS, NOV. o, 1000.
| ED. FREE PREss-The proceeding
by writ of certiorari in the St. Louil
Court of Appeals, resulted in com
plete triumph for Col. Jno. W. Camp
bell, Chief of Police. The mandate
of the court reinstates Col. Campbell
and rebukes the Commissioners, and
proves to the world that their official
action was in violation of the law.
The sensation of the week is the
Indictment of the police commission
ers, DR.. Lutz and David w. Caruth,
for conspiracy to defeat the admins
tration of the law, and secure immu-
nifty to the gamblers. The conspira-
tors were arraigned before Judge E.
A. Noonan yesterday and plead not
guilty Mr.. Mcintyre, the oil in.
spector, Mr.. Ed. Butler, the political
"Boss" and one Hugh J. Brady, men,
Der of the Legislature, also appeared
befors the court to answer the charge
of accepting brides to secure appoint
ments. Brady, member OF the Leg
islature, actually sold his influence to
secure a poor mans appointment as
driver of the police "Hoodlum Wag-
on" place not worth over $75 per
month. This man Brady belongs to
the ''small fry" of statesmen whose
election is libel upon the govern
ment of Missouri and the topic of
scandal among honest men.
The coterie of scamps consisting of
Ed. Butler, Joe Mcintyre, Frank
Turner "the shyster" and McChesny,
the gambler have controlled the des-
TIMES of this city and commanded the
political appointments of this State
for the past five years. Governor
Crittenden is believed to be guilty by
the majority of our citizens, and it is
believed that his private secretary,
Farr, will be convicted of farming out
for brides. 1t is dis
graceful condition of public affairs,
and is discreditabls to the city of st.
Louis and the State of Missouri.

IDENTIFY fancy they can roll back the tide
of popular favor which ia setting in in
Texas as well M generally in favor OF
Tilden. We think they will find
themselves badly out Of their reckon
ing. One would think that in view
OF their own antecedents they would
at least have the grace TO be silent.
We find late editorial in the
Houston Post 30 pertinent to our
subject that We make the following
extract:
| The news has reached us that boom has
SGT in for Tilden in Illinois, We are not at
all surprised TO hear it, There has been a
quiet drift towards Mr.. Tilden for several
weeks past in all parts Of the country. II
is a little remarkable that this current
should have deepened into "boom" in IL
| linois raider than in Indiana and New York;
but We wo have no doubt that tho drum
beat Of the Sucker" State will be respond
cd to all along the line. and that the move
ment is the beginning Of rally for the
statesman OF Gramercy Park, that will
provo overwhelming. II Ii very plain to
any one who will travel through Texas with
his eyes and ears open that Tilden IL the
favorite by immense odds. Everywhere
from the mountains TO the coast, from the
pine forests 10 the cactus plains-the call ia
for the "old ticket" or for Samuel j. Tilden.
This is not hearsay or supposition, but fact
II is felt that the juncture Is difficult one.
A man of experience and ability is needed to
lead the party. There may be score of
honorable and patriotic men, who might |
safely be put to the front, but not one who |
in political skill, in sagacity and resources |
compares with him, With this fact staring us |
the face, it il with the deepest surprise and |
regret that the Post hears Mr.. Tilden at
tackled in some quarters az ON unsafe leader,
and even his personal character assailed.
Apart from the grave error of such an at
tack, in point of fact, it is of the most de-
plorable impolicy. 1t is enough to make
an honest Democrat shed tears of vexation
to witness these ebullitions of personal feel
ing, and these efforts to stir up strife, when a
little observation should convince all that the
people by an immense majority, are in fav-
or of the man so abused and belittled. The
popular instinct is seldom wrong. The peo-
pie evidently think that Mr. Tilden is the
strongest and best man to put at the head
of the Democratic columns for the fight in
1884. They are indicating it in many ways,
and one of the most unmistakable ways will
be their displeasure with those who take
upon themselves to attempt the disintegra-
tion of the Democratic party by abusing Mr..
Tilden. 1t is grave error on the part of
these gentlemen, if they be politicians, for
lnless all signs fail, the Tilden ticket
will be supported by the great majority of ,
,he party, and those who opposed him will
Do at discount.

The Right Time to go North and to
Come South.
From the Extra Fssn Ppsss.

The San Antonio Express joins the
New Orleans Picsyune IN cOntendine
that there is no advantage in going north
during summer to escape hot weather
And the age conours with the Express
and Picayune. From the middle Of
June to the middle of August, the pc
riod usually chosen for going north, the
mercury ranges higher in New York
City, Boston or St. Paul than in Hous>
ton. Galveston or San Antonio.-[ Hous-
ton Age.
After considerable thought and OBJ
servation on the subject. we have come
to the conclusion that they who 90 north

better wait till the latter part Of sum.
mer. The long continuance of the sum-
mer heats in Texas. rather than their
excess. is the thing hardest to bear.
The hot weather here holds, almost
without abatement, throughout August
and September, while at the North,
about the middle of August the nights
at least become cool. frost often prevail.
ing. By leaving here about that time.
therefore, land there can be nothing
gained by leaving sooner, for il is hotter
there than hers) you escape some two
months of hot weather, and return from
the bracing air Of northern autumn to
a winter here no more severe. In other
words you shorten the Texas summer
two months or more-a great relief.
On the same principle, the best time
to come South is, say in November.
The weather is not often severely cold at
the North before that time. and by
coming then you escape its more severe
stages aud some two months OF the lat
ter end of winter entirely. IL Is true
you can come to this part Of Texas 10
midsummer with IMMUNITY on the score
Of health, ss we know. but IL i. an IN

| KRNDALL's NARRATIVE CONTINUED.
After disposing of my case and
passport, Armijo graciously informed
us that he was an honorable gentle
man and not an assassin, and, what
was more, that he was great warrior.
Whatever doubts we might have en-
tertained on this point, we did not
see fit to express at the time, and the
fellow may have taken our silence for
tacit acknowledgment of our be-
lief in his magnanamity and bravery.
He next asked US which of our little
party best understood the Spanish
language, as he wanted one of us to
accompany him as an interpreter. At
this question Lewis eagerly stepped
forward, and after asserting that he
could speak the language better than
any one of his companions, at once
proffered his services. He really was
more fluent with Spanish than any
one of us, having resided many years
in chihuahua and other parts of Mexi-
co. Armijo Immediately ordered a
mule for him to ride, and after his
hands were united he mounted the
animal and rode in among his new
associates. That up to this time he
acted in perfect good faith towards
Colonel Cooke and the expedition, I
have not the least doubt; but he now
saw that he was completely in the
power of men whom he understood
thoroughly, and from whom he well
knew he could expect neither mercy
nor justice; he saw too, that by be-
trsying his former associates, those
who had often befriended him, he
might gain life and liberty, and for
this he at once surrendered all holy
ties Of religion, honor, companion
ship and patriotism. Not one of us
suspected him at the time Of other
than honorable intentions, but after
circumstances rendered his base
treachery unquestionable.
Armilo now turned to Don Jesus,
and in a pompOus and bombastic tone
ordered him to guard us safely back
to San Miguel that night, as he wish
ed to hold q Conversation with us ear
ly on the ensuing morning.

"Yes, your Excellency," was the OBJ
sequious answer OF the cringing Don
Jesus, and with a flourish of trump
cts the great General Armijo and his
molly army now left us. As they
filed by in helter-skelter order we no
ticed our former guide, the runaway
Carlos, in the crowd. He was seated
upon a mule, his arms and breast
bandaged,a and we afterwards learned
that he had been stabbed and severe
ly wounded by a nephew Of Armijo,
for his supposed connection with the
Texan expedition.
The sun had ceased to tinge the
highest tops of the eastern noun.
tains ere the last stragglers and camp
followers Of Armijo had trotted past
us, and we were extremely tired and
faint of our weary march of nearly
thirty miles; yet this fellow, who in
one breath told us he was ian honor
able man." almost in the next ordered
us back over the same rough and
broken road without food or sleep.
The penalty of failure was death, and
to be certain that his orders had been
strictly fulfilled, or, perhaps to graft
fly his curiosity, he wished to see the
ears Of each Of us as might fall by
the roadside, unable to endure the ex-
cessive fatigue. /
As if fearful Of not having an op-
portunity to fulfill Armijo's last COM
mand, Don Jesus now rushed us back
over the same ground at more rapid
pace than ever. I was not only weary |
but unwell by this time, but my lame
ankle was 80 swollen and stiff, from
The unusual exercise, that I could
hardly drag it along, yet, determined
that the honorable governor should

price, of seat on donkey Of one

lands high, and appeared hardly able
% bear up under one full grown man,
ret the Mexican told me he was
trong enough to carry two, and hur-
'iedly helped me to mount the miser-
Ible excuse of a saddle strapped
oosely to the back of the donkey.
Possessing all the perverseness and
'bstinacy, and up to all the tricks of
