Let 1t Go Before the People.

| To the Editor of The statesman.
| In the last issue of The DAILY
STATESMAN considerable space is
given to a discussion, following the
Introduction of a resolution and a
substitute thereto, before the meeting
of delegates of precinct No. 3, of
Travis county, touching the senator
ship for this district, without giving
either the resolution or the substitute.
Let the same go before the people.
They are as follows:
Resolved, That whereas, the Hon.
A. w. Terrell has declined absolutely
to permit his name to be used as a
candidate for reelection as senator
for this senatorial district, it is the
sense of this meeting that E. T.
Moore, ESQ.,, is the choice of the same
for this position, over any gentleman
whose name has been prominently
mentioned in connection with that
position.
Resolved, By the convention of pre-
cinct NO. 3, of Travis county, that the
services of Mr.. A. w. Terrell, as sena-
tor for this district, are highly appre-
ciated by the citizens of this precinct;
that we regret his disinclination to
become candidate for the senate at
the next election; but we hope, how
ever. when the citizens of this senator
ial district, through their conventions,
most earnestly tender the nomination
for senator to him, that he will yield
to their wishes, and we therefore de-
clare that the Hon. A. w. Terrell Is

IllingwOrth Called.

EulJOr Oh LHe AuSblu SGdIeSlIldu:
TEMPLE, Texas, May 20, 1854--In
justice to myself and Mr.. Carter, 1
desire to correct a statement which
appeared in your paper of the Oath in
slant, made by Mr.. Carew Hing
worth, IN regard to his bad treatment
while in Temple. A statement of
facts in the case will be sufficient to
set us right before the people.
Mr.. Illingworth while in Temple
went to the Imperial saloon where
Gee was killed, and after looking
around at the bullet holes, remarked
that "Gee was murdered, and that in
cold blood" He went from there to
the Central Hotel and made the
same remark. Carter Ghe. man
who killed Gee was told of
this by friends, and called on
Mr.. Illingworth and asked him what
he knew of the case. He said he knew
nothing at all. Carter then asked him
why he made the above remarks. His
reply was, 81 did not make them"
Carter then told him that he knew he
did make them, as parties had told
him Carter who heard him Olling
worth) make them. Mr.. Illingworth
then said that he might have said
something that could have been con-
strued that way. Carter then left
him, came to me, told me what had
passed between ulingworth and him
self, and told me that Illingworth had
detective badge under his coat. 1
then went to see Mr.. Ilingworth and
called him to one side and asked him
privately if he was detective, and if
he was l would assist him in any wey
could. He told me that he was 10
detective. l then asked him why he
wore the badge. He said
that it was an old one, and that he
once belonged to Pinkerton's force of
detectives, and found that it was not
lucrative enough for him and went
into other business. There our inter-
view ended. No threats were made
by either Carter or myself; 1 do not
think Col. T. w. Folts was present
when Carter and Mr.. Jllingworth had
their conversation; and L talked pri-
vately with Mr.. L and know that
no one heard our conversation. If
possible, would like for Col. Folts to
be interviewed, and find out from him
what he knows about the talk that
took place between Illingworth, Car
ter and myself. think when you get
his statement you will find that what
he knows is what Mr.. Illingworth
told him. There was no gaping mob
standing around. as the very inven-
tive Mr.. Carew 1llingworth stated.
Carter said nothing about seeing Mr..
L out of town. / think he drew on
his Imagination about that, as well as
some OF the balance of his story.
Yours truly and respectfully,
SAM. @. WALKER,
City marshal of Temple.

JOSEPH NALLE.

He Announces Himself as a Candidate
for Mayor.
Mr.. Joseph Male to-day announces
himself as a candidate for mayor to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Hon. w. A. Saylor. Mr..
Male is closely identified with Austin
in many ways. He has large lumber
yards and mills here, and is interested
in many other business enterprises,
which he has been instrumental in in
augurating and building up. He is a
progressive, public spirited man, and
believes in Austin. In public and
private matters alike, he has shown
himself to be man of the most lib
eral ideas, and up with the times. No
man has done more to advertise Aus
tin and increase it's trade with the
surrounding country. He will be a
formidable candidate

A Protest,

To the Editor of the Austin Statesman.

To the Editor Of the Austin Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, June 2, 1884.
After having read the report of the
proceedings of the precinct conven-
ventions held on Saturday last, feel
it my duty to speak few words upon
the action of some of the parties pres
emit. 1t is a well-known fact that the
senatorship has been promised to
either Burnet or Williamson county,
and it has been fully so understood
ever since Mr.. Terrell announced his
intention not to be again a candidate
tor reelection. Further than this, it
is the right of these counties, that
have always rallied to the support of
the famous silvery-tongued senator,
that they now should be represented
by man of their county and choice.
it not seem presumptious in Mr..
Moore to ask these counties to
forget geographical lines, and elect
| Travis county had always governed
so. While Mr.. Moore advocated Ter
rell and eulogized him to the sky, his
little argument was a boost for Mr..
| LII SuOWCSl GudG Ill LILO TSNCul
Terrell did not run, the understand
ing between the counties, the geo.
graphical position, ETC., was no obsta-
Gle to the nomination of a Travis
county man, and that man would
very probably be Mr.. Moore. Now, !
think, that there are men in Burnet
and Williamson counties who are just
as eminently qualified for the place as
Mr.. Moore. or any other Travis coun
ty man. If Travis county does not
want Glasscock, there are others who
could fill the bill. At present Travis
has the district judgshlp, district at
torney, and senator, so it appears -tC
me that little division would moi
hurt the dictator county, and prove
palatable to Burnet and Williamson
Equality is equity, so let's have a lit

states that many who are bidding for
school lands as actual settlers are in
fact but mere employees of land and
cattle syndicate, who are using their
names for such purposes, the same as
in cases of fraud presented by the
land frauds board to the attorney-gen-
eral for prosecution. The land board
should accordingly consider the claims
and protests presented with the ut
most caution. There are parties con-
tending, too, for their bids at 4 cents
as being valid.
The department of education Is ad-
vised of the appropriation of $1,000
from the Peabody fund for the use OF

Normal Institute; and 5000 for the
Summer Normal schools this summer
Superintendent Baker advises that
the two Peabody scholarships Of
Texas in the Nashville Normal col
lege will be awarded. Applications
are to be decided by the board of edu
cation at Austin.

KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL.

Closing Exercises of that Institution.
The closing exercises of Mrs.
George Dornan's kindergarten school
were of very interesting nature, and
were highly enjoyed by those favored
with invitations to be present. Miss
Maggie Myrick, little sprite Of six
or eight summers, had been chosen to
preside, and right royalty did the little
lady WELD the sceptre. Her saluta-
tory would have reflected credit upon
one of more mature years.
All acquitted themselves well, but it is
nothing more than right to mention
especially, little Miss Mona Patterson,
who deferred speech-making to let
fall golden silence" and Miss Oracle
Harrison, whose rendition of swell
come" was almost faultless.
The singing by the school was fine
and more of it would have been ap,
preciated.

Negro Outbreaks.

| To the Editor of the Statesman.
| AUSTIN, June 2, 1884.-In view of
recent occurrences, permit me to say
a few words concerning NEGRO out
| breaks"
Many persons affect to have a con
slant anxiety, lest the negro should
rise and mutiny." Every occurrence
in which negro is concerned is con-
strued as possessing peculiar signif-
canoe, aud feared as the possible germ
of race instruction. If negroes as
semble in large numbers at a picnic
to enjoy themselves, the gathering
is styled an uprising and
state troops are made ready to
crush the affair in embryo. The negro
seems to be the political nightmare
which haunts the slumhers of the
statesmen of Texas
Irrepressible reporters, hungry for
something sensational, are largely to
blame for these extravaganza reports,
which mislead the minds of northern
readers and cause them to believe that
the negro is ever plotting against the
whites. These reports are seized with
avidity by many a shallow-brained ed
ltor and exaggerated ad lib. ct in
finitum.
If white man boots and insults an
inofensive negro, and the negro, true
to an instinct common even among
the lower classes of animals, retaliates,
we are told that "a frenZied mob of
bowling negroes are on the rampage"
the affair is styled, a war of races, and
white men everywhere are war ned to
be ready to defend themselves.
II mob of drunken cowboys take
a miserable negro out, and in Wanton
cruelty beat him to death, we are told
that an Indignant crowd of peace
loving citizens, in western county.
rid themselves of a troublesome negro
fiend, who was suspected of stealing.
Just let negro be suspected of
fence-cutting, and his life is not worth
a poem on Spring"
If decent colored woman Is insult
ed by a brakeman, and driven into a
amid oaths and fumes of
tobacco we are told by the truthful { p
reporter, that a negro wench of ques-
t1onable character seeks to effect an
entrance into the ladies' car but is |
promptly repnlsed by the Yigilant |
brakeman.
1t seems to me to bea mark of arrant
,owardice to be always depressing,
crushing and misrepresenting few
weak and defenseless negroes.
What could the negro do against
he white man? What can race of
people not yet fully merged from the
Yretchedness, ignorance and degrade
ion of primeYal savag Try, do against
he pruodest, wealthiest, iiost cultured
md most powerful race On earth I?
They could do nothing. Wealth.
'ower, intelligence, land, government
nd commerce are entirely in the
ands of the whites. What can they

A LEAP FOR LIFE.
John Chambers Jumps From the Trestle
Bridge Over the Colorado.

On Sunday afternoon train of cat
tie enroute from Converse station to
Hugo, Col, in charge of Mr.. John
Chambers, nephew of Edward Hail,
of San Antonio, the well known rail-
road contractor, were left standing on
the treStle work leading
to the International bridge
over the Colorado. In an attempt to
rescue calf from being trampled to
death, Mr.. Chambers climbed along
the car, and while holding on with
one hand was kicked upon it by a
cow, so benumbing it that he lost his
grip. After one or two vain efforts
to grasp something, Chambers, to save
himself the consequences of a back
ward fall, wheeled and leaped into
the air. The distance to the ground
was about forty feet, and the fall
broke both ankle bones, and also
split the atlas bone of the right ankle
joint. Mr.. Chambers then
dragged himself up on to the
ties below. He was conveyed to the
Southern Hotel where his injuries
were examined by DR.. w. j. Burt and
his limbs set. Mr.. Chambers talks
cheerfully, and speaks feelingly of the
kind treatment he is receiving at the
hands of those in the hotel-the ladies
especially. DR.. Burt says it will be
four months before Chambers can
walk again.

Arthur Roederer, the well-known
French champagne maker, spent yes
terday in this city. He is stou-,
erect young man, of about medium
height, with cloSely-trimmed blonde
beard. the bluest OF blue eyes and a
decidedly German cast of countenance,
which a hundred years residence in
France has not eradicated from his
family. NJ. Roederer was in company
with his countryman, Gustave Boutel-
leau, fills, member of the BarbeZieuX
firm of brandy manufacturers. Both
gentlemen are in this country look
ing up the interests of their respective
houses.
EYES," said M. Roederer, "this is my
first visit to America, but it certainly
shall not be my last. NJ. Boutelleau
and myself are here on business, but
we have met with so much kindness
and courtesy everywhere that our trip
has been fairly turned into a pleasure
jaunt. We shall remain six weeks
longer in America. We go to Wash

western cities.
American Wines" courteously re-
peated NJ. Roederer. in answer to a
query, while trace of passion shone
| in his azure eyes. 1T would not be
right to say they are bad. Indeed, they
are not bad. have tasted some of
them, and found them very good.
In time, with care and cultivation,
and if the-what do you call them,
total abstinence gentlemen ?-if they
do not stop you, you should grow ex-
cellent wines here. But why arc you
not content to improve your own
wines and sell them as California
wines, and what not, instead of trying
to make champagne? l do do not be.
lieVe you will make champagne" he
continued, with a smile. at is the
same with your brandies; they do not
have the bouquet of ours. 1t is not
so much the fault of the wines or Of
your mode of cultivation, OF
of your manner of making these
articles. 1t is the soil. Tht
experience was made shipping
soil from one ;of the French cham.
payne vineyards, l think to SwltZer
land, and for a time the wine produced
was very much like that of thu
; French vintage, but soon the imported
soil gave out, and the wine lost it
bouquet"
M. Roeder did not believe that Am
erican vines planted in French vine
yards escaped the phylloxera'Hr ava
: ges. That pest did not trouble hi
: part of France, but his friend, M
Boutelleau, had not found tina
:, American vines resisted the phyllox
era.
YES" said the wine-maker, there il
a great difference in champagnes, a
in other wines. The dry champagne
are nearly or quite free from foreign
saccharine matter, while the swee
champagnes have more or less pur
sugar added in the form of a l1queu1

T should be used, as then it would b
more difficult to palm off inferio

trade is growing, and believe thi
