Grand Reception of the Texas Veterans
Mt Paris,

The morning of the forty-eighth
anniversary of the battle of San ia
cinto, April 81, was ushered in gray
and cold. Every public building and
business house and all the principal
residences were draped with bunting.
Many national flags were displayed,
but the Lone Star of Texas, cleaning
white from fields of blue. was far the
most numerous and prominent among
the decorations. At9A. NJ, the veter-
ans of the two classes and the veteran
ladies' assembled at the court house,
where the order of procession was
formed and the badges of the associa-
ton distributed. The following
order of procession was observed :
Paris Silver Cornet Band, detach-
ment of military, veteran ladies, the
Texas veterans and citizens. The
procession marched through the
principal streets of Paris to the opera
house, where Gen. W. p. Lane, act
ing as chairman in the absence of the

the assemblage to order, Col. Moses
Austin Bryan. secretary Of the associa-
ton, was assisted in his duties by A.

On the evening of the 26 inst.
transpired what very nearly became
another tragedy at the San Antonio
Vaudeville theatre. r. II. Lombard,
an attorney, formerly editor of the
Eagle Pass Maverick, and personal
friend of the late King Fisher, who
was killed with Ben Thompson, had
an alteration with Sims, proprietor
of the theatre. Pistols were drawn,
and Lombard fred q shot at Sims,
but without effect. Not understand
ing the peculiarities of his double
action pistol, he could fire no more,
and sought refuge on the pavement
outside from the fusilade kept up by
Sims, escaping with a severe flesh
wound in his right arm. Both parties
were arrested and gave bonds in
$4,000 each. Sims did his shooting
outside,and ladies and others passing
made narrow escape. This fresh
outrage deepens the conviction, even
at San Antonio, that tho Vaudeville
and its kindred institutions must go.

Col. FRANK w. JOHNSON, tho fore
most of surviving Texas veterans,
died recently in Mexico, whittier he
had gone for his health. He was a
participant in several OF the battles and
other stirring scenes of the Texas
Revolution. Before his departure he
left in the hands of Col. j. M. Swish
or, Of Austin, the manuscript of q
history of Texas. The book will be
published, no doubt, and from the
fact that the author was man Of
fine intellect and had resided in Texas
for half century, we have no
doubt it will prove one of the best,
if not the best history of Texas ever
published.

1 think the fact of the Democratic
party with an unprecedented major
ity conceding now that you were
right when You advocated Tilden, is
a feather in your cap that you should
be proud of, instead of allowing the
hopeless minority you found yourself
in to discourage you.
We assure the writer of the above
that we are proud of our action in
the matter referred to, and under
like circumstances of great pressing
issue, we should do the same thing.
Right and duty in our opinion are
always paramount to any considera
ton of minorities or majorities.

But there nre two cardinal principles with refer.
ence TO the selection Of the nominee which must
be held as firmly in view now as they were some
months ago. one Of these is that the man
chosen shall be one in whom tho people gen.
orally will have confidence because of good
record, and the other is that he shall not,
because of previous experiences, have alienated
any important portion of the party. The
two names which still prominently sug.
gest themselves, in consideration of these broad
limitations, are those of Arthur and Edmunds.
The actual administration of the former, fresh In
the popular eye is of such character us to estab.
lish the requisite confidence. 1t Is more than suf
fcient to overcome the traces of the old split in
New York, a fact which is satisfactorily exempli-
fled by the support which is given him by many OF
the old enemies of the stalwarts. So far as Mr.
Arthur is concerned that gap is completely closed
and no one urges contrary opinion save those
who make the claim fOrthe purpose of supporting
candidates of their own. Whoever the special
friends of Mr.. Arthur may be- his special enemies
are solely among the active politicians Interested
personally in some one else. The party at large
will unite as heartily upon him as they will upon
any one. His strength is of the most substantial
kind
