SAN ANTONIO, TErAs, June rs, 1884
EDIroR FnEsa Pass The political
pot is beginning TO simmer at this
end Of the 10th District since Han
cock has declined 10 DO u candidate
for reelection.
Mai. Thomas Breckenridge OF Aus
tin aud joe Sayers OF Bastrop are
tho only avowed candidates as yet
with chances largely in favor OF Savers
Joe Dryer will probably shy his castor
in the ring in caseof n deadlock this
however is only a possibility. Col.
Epson refuses TO announce himself
and says the people know his record
and tariff views, (he favors incidental
protection), and can indorse, or 'sit
down" on him as they see fit The
people of this county and throughout
the wool growing district Of the North
west favor Epson, and will doubtless
give Judge Rector tho Republican
candidate a strong support rather
than support men who are absolute
free traders like Breckenridge or
Savers, alleging that their wool inter
ests will DO effected thereby. Joe
Savers, IL will he remembered, attacked
the Roberts administration, while
he was 1t Gov. just as Lit. Gov.
Martin has attacked the Ireland
administration this will make the
friends of the "Old Alcalde" oppose
him.
Quite a commotion was created
here to day by the appearance in the
morning Express of a telegram orig
mating in Washington which charges
Maj. Breckenridge Of Austin with
crookedness while connected with the
Treasury department during the war.
The Major is accused of appropriate
ing to his own use, ten thousand
bales of cotton while federal agent,
using the money to open bank.
Knowing ones here say the article
is intended for Geo. NJ. Breckenridge,
the millionaire banker of this place,
as it is known he was at one time
connected with the Treasury and
bought considerable cotton during
the war, but for ,ohom, is unknown.
The rumor, however, is discredited
and is regarded as scheme to black
mail the Austin Breckenridge on
account of his congressional race.
Verify the way of the politician, like
the transgressor,is hard. tits univer-
sally conceded here that if Wash
Jones were to run and would set out
on his accustomed tour of making
cross road speeches and kissing the
babies of the rural districts he would
prove the political Moses and would
lead his party to victory this fall, but
if he should give his old law partner,
Sayers his support, Bastrop county
will doubtless supply us with our
next congressman.
San Antonio is now trying to build
q rail to the Gulf, and great chan
ges are expected to take place here,
for better or worse, in the next twelve
months, which 1 will notice subse
quently, and will also chronicle our
crop OF suicides which will be ripe
soon. j. E. LAMB.

New ORLEANS, La, June 10 1884.
Dear Sir-Let me again urge upon
you the absolute necessity for the
prompt formation of county exposi-
ton societies within your district.
Without them all will be in chaos,
and Texas will fail in her exhibit next
winter; with them I believe I can
have her to show up as the first state
in the list of exhibitors.
Idesire that the district commission
ers shall have the credit of this impor-
tant work of county organizations as
q whole, and that the county (hono-
rary) commissioners shall have the
credit for their allotted work in parti-
cular. These county societies will
report to you promptly, or to me
direct as you may please, always
though the honorary commissioners
when possible, the fact of their
organizations, and when known to me
here 1 will furnish them direct all the
requested or required information,
and as the proper time in September
or later will receive the offerings.
This immense work must be systema,

undertake to handle it.

COUR D. ALASR MINES AND now TO GET
THERE.
Respt.,
MRs. P. II. B.

The discovery of gold in the Ccur D
Alane mountains is perhaps the richest
strike ever made in this northwestern
country. There has been found some
very rich and extensive quartz, but
most of the attention is given to placer
mining because it is more accessible.
The best prospects are on Pritchard
creek, however good prospects are found
on Eagle creek and even across the die
vide near Heron there has been small
quantities of it found. The ground is
low, fiat and parts of it are swampy.
The creek bottoms are about forty rods
wide, and the creeks have very little
fall and that works a disadvantage in
sluieing, but a sufficient amount of cap
ital brought to bear will do away with
such obstacles in short order. The soil
is from two to twenty feet deep and
pays from six to fifteen dollars q day
to the man. Most of the mining now
is done on shallow ground and the gold
is on shell bedrock. The quality Of
the gold is over average. The gold on
Eagle creek is finer than on Pritchard
creek, where, very often, nuggets are
found weighing six or ten dollars.
Business here has been somewhat
dull, owing to the fact that communi.
cations have been cut off to some ex.
tent. and it is dangerous to undertake
to transport freight from Rathdrum
over the mountains, through deep snow
by way Of the Cour D. Alane route.

SALEN, On, Jan. 22nd, 's4,
Eds. Democrat:
] wish 10 make suggestion 10 re.
gard to the time Of hslding the Demo-
ocratic State Convention.
We have many brave Democratic lead
srs who are anxious to leap into the.
political arena aud meet the enemy in
mortal combat. They are impatient and
want an early Convention. These
gentlemen, In the main belong to the
"Old Guard" aud are excellent dem
ccrats, but they want TO apply the rules
of action which worked well ffteen
ysars.ago, to the conditions of the pres
emit time. Then candidates for Congress
made thorough canvasses of the State,
and travelled on horse back and by stage.
The rail road was not then In existence.
NOac candidates can canvass the state
In about one half the time required for
that purpose before the building Of the
railroads. Then why have an early
convention and long campaign. We
shall inevitably have = great deal Of
politics this year owing to the fact that
the presidential election will occur in
Nov. therefore give US late conven.
tion, with short vigorous campaign.
The lst day Of May believe will be
about the proper time for the conyen.
.tion to meet. If this date were adop.
ted We would have one month of "pol.
tiles and misery" which :s quite suffi-
cient.
There has not been much talk here
abouts as to candidates for Congress &C
far as I am advised. / would suggest
the name of Col. w. H. Efiingsr, 0,
Portland, as q good man to elect Il

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


Rds. Democrat.
Immediately after holidays your
readers saw In your valuable Colum ns
an item giving some Of the results Of
the last election held Ia this County.
This connected with other matters, has
doubtless given rise 10 considerable
political gossip, little Of which you
may hear In the folio wing.
The Democrats out this way antic-
ipats q fsrcer contest this coming oam-
Paign than was made during the last ;
for.ressons that are abundant and while
there is not much selfishnese or arum-
bling manifested because "Albany got
away with the lions share at the last
County Convention" ys. this precinct
will doubtless ask for what was prom
ised It At that time.
One Senator is resident Of Albany,
and he holds ever. School Supt. Moses
is from near Albany. Albany will
doubtless ask foE at least one Reprssen-
tatien aud one msmber Of the County
Court.
Brownsvills precinct will undoubt-
sdly come out solid for Mr.. J. P. Gall
braith, the efficient secretary Of the
Woolen Mills, for the County Clak
ship, and it IL also understood that he
will accept the nomination IL rendered
him. Gaibraith possesses fae clerical
ability, and his business integrity is
beyond rsproacb. His social standing
here IL such as will commend him Q
abroad, and those who know him best
will assist him the most. He viii
doubtless obtain that support that such
m able man deserves. As Mr.. Dosier
hssitatss in allowing his name used for
assessor, Brownsville viii lik ely have
only the one man 10 pat forward, and
the only one thing TO ask for, to wit,
that be be nominated.
Republicans have not yet held their
primaries, but Charlton has been men.
toned for Sheriff. Gilbert Of Lebanon
for School Superintendent, Davis Of
Shedd for Clerk. One Of the following
will probably be nominated fer the Leg
islaturs If he will accept, Tbos. Kay,
