THE ST. Louis Republican of the 9th
contains a short communication from
Fornoy, Kaufman county, in which the
writer says he has been close observer
of the cotton crop for sixty years, and
in all that time has never seen so poor Il
prospect here for cotton rs at this date,
that there Is serious danger OF making
an entire miss, that if il does not rain I'M
ten days it will be the greatest failure in
his day, and this is the condition ol
things in all north and middle Texas.
The writer must have commenced OBJ
serving very early in life, when il is re-
membercd that cotton was not grown
here sixty years ago, and unless ne is
now seventy five or eighty years of age,
he certainly was prccOcious child.
Now, for the truth, as will bc verified hv
every planter in north Texas: The crop
is about three weeks late, and in the
northern tier of counties, seldom prom
ised better than this season. Messrs.
WHITE a Co,,of this city,who arc among
our most reliable and heaviest cotton
buyers, issued circular about the
same date Of the communication, in
which they spoke very favorably of the
condition Of tho crop. As for an entire
miss, II is too absurd to even contradict
the statement, and without any more
rain the Yield promises now fully AS
largo rs last year at th.s date. In some
portions of middle Texas the crop pros.
poets are not so favorable on account OF
drouth, but planters arc picking there
now with results largely above hal,
crop. such statements az that sc,t IN
the Republican are calculat al 10 do this
State incalculablc ir,iury, and in times
ike the present, when money matters
age very tight, and want of confidence
is exhibited everywhere, II is pernicious
% merchants and business men gcncr-
ally. What object the writer had i'm
making such unioundcd assertions il is
hard to determine, but the HERALD has
no hesitancy in saying they are entirely
unreliable aud without any foundation
IA fact

lT is Il feeling of real commiseration
we will not say akin to contempt, that
the HERALD entertains for the editor of
the Colorado Clipper, who visited this
city during the reunion. In an editorial
he says he found large majority of the
citizens Of Dallas outspoken against the
lease system, and that they entertain
the same views ON the free grass ques-
ton as tho 'free grass barons." His
statement that ,he people Of this city do
not endorse the IlLRALD's lease law
sentiments is amatter Of little moment.
lie adds, "And more strange still, we
did not find but very few who en-
dorsed BARNEY GIBBS for Lieutenant
Governor. After spending two days on
the reunion grounds with the masses,
we feel fully justified in the assertion
that free grass is in the majority, except
IN the extreme south Of southern
Texas" \ man who will make as many
misstatements i'm so short an
article must be an ADEPT in.
'i'i'AN l'iNoNlllhNlpi lltTts III nome,
the HERALD states, that in this
city there may be II few, but very few
who oppose the lease law, and the oppo-
sition is generally with the Republicans.
BARNEY GIBBS is endorsed for Lieuten-
ant-Governor here by nearly every one
of all parties, for where he is best known
he has most supporters, because of his
line talent and ability, and his good
social qualities. The free grass doctrine
has few advocates east or south of Fort
Worth, and are not as numerous in that
city as represented. What ends the
editor of the Clipper expects to effect
by making such miserable assertions,
directly opposite of truth, is difficult to
determine. An editor of paper should
endeavor to acquaint his readers with
facts as they exist, even if they are not
Of his liking, instead of rcsorting to
wiliul pcrvcrsiOn and open fabrication.
1t is disgrace to .iournaslim.

states that thoro was not only a

The ball entered the wife's head, back

aimed ut his own temple, but held
the pistol rather low, so the bullet passed
below the brain, back of the eyes, pas

cutting both optic nerves. He is still
alive though the chances are against
his recovery. If he survives he will be
totally blind. 1t was no quarrel. His
