SHERMAN, Dec. Especial. THE dis
trict court is running through business
ut electric speed, and filling the peniten-
tiary at the rate of three day.
The pauper defendants, who depend
on the court appointing them counsel,
are not faring well; the attorneys not
being feed in tho case and the defend
ant in Jail and not able to furnish the
attorney with the evidence, he has to go
into the case and depend on tho evil
dence ELECTED by the state, which is gem
orally of a convincing nature, and he
usually winds up in thu penitentiary.
The $%o burglars who broke into
Dollarh ide's gun store, in Denison, and

AID correspondent to-day called on
Gov. Hubbard and directed his atten-
ton to a paragraph in the Galveston
News, of the 9Th inst, saying
that il WAS understood that Gov.

spectful inquiry the governor said that
such statement was wholly without
authority from him; that he had friends
in this and other states who desired to
see Texas recognized in the cabinet of
the new administration in his person,
but that no was not an applicant in the
sense sought to be conveyed
by this paragraph. He certainly
deferred to tho wishes of Texas in such

Texas had many able public men in
and out of congress whose appointment
to IL cabinet or other positions would be
gratifying to the people Of the state and
to the whole country. He

NOTWITHSTANDING manufacturers are
reducing the price of labor, they are ad-
vanciug the prices of their goods. The
estton factories of Augusta have raised
their fabrics ope-qusrter of cent per
yard; the wire makers have put up
barbed wire 39I cents per pound, and tie
window glass workers will advance
srices. The manufacturers will retain
or increase their profits on manufactur-
cd goods, and grow still more opulent

ands who labor for hem, are paid pit
tsnce which barely supports them
selves and families, with rough habit
and coarse diet. Is it to be wondered at
that strikes occur?
