The stockmen who assembled here
last week and went away Disguised and
brushing the dust OF the city from
their soles, were probably justified In
/ their expressions of indignations.
! Their first cause OF complaint origin
ated In the cupidity of the proprietors
of the celebrated goose. The bird
seemed b. the hasheries to hang little
too low for rich harvest of golden
eggs, and so they, with singular una
nimity, concluded to elevate the
hatchery. The city was TO be crowded,
sleeping room was to be scarce,
IL mob OF catilemen was
to overrun the table de hotcs,
and to hang the goose high was deem
ed the expedient method to bag the
entire lay of golden eggs In a single
week. Some kicked at tie adv anced
rates, but the goose owners stood firm
and the alternative was to pny or sleep
out in the cold OF course the eggs
were there and only n little squeezing
was necessary to get them, but the
goose died under the operation and
some other city will get a whack nj
the layout hereafter. Other
causes sprung up ny Sec
ondary oiienses. Suffice 1t

Senators and members are nearly all
in their seats, looking fresh, rested and

liberty, but the people of Texas want
no more misrule or executive irrespon-
