Hon. A. NJ. Taylor, our representa-
tive, returned from Austin 10 day. He
expresses himself rs being pleased
with the work accomplished by the

the fence-cutting bill. He thinks that

No GAZETTE came to-day and cOnse-

master that it didn't GOMEZ This is
not often the case, however.
J.T. Fleming, one of the directors of
the Texas Investment company, at
Austin, is now in this city among his
old friends.
Many of our citizens are inclined to
doubt the correctness of the conclu-
sions arrived at by your Austin cor
respondent, and are of the opinion
that Mr.. Culberson will again be a
candidate for congress. In this county
there is n sentiment opposed to Mr..
Culberson, but whom they prefer or
what strength they possess
cannot now be foretold. Mr..
Chenoweth was formerly district
criminal judge here and has many
friends, but whether they can succeed
in carrying the county for him re-
mains TO be seen. From all appear
anees now we will have highly in
teresting canvass this fall, and the
general opinion now seems to prevail
here that Mr.. Culberson will hold his
own against all combatants, in the
event of his candidacy. The assertion
of Mr.. CulbersOn that he will not
again be candidate misleads no one
here, as he has twice before Mt differ
ent elections protested that he would
not again serve, only to come up
smiling at the next time and ask for a
continuance.
Sundry of our colored brethren have
been engaging OF late in the seductiv,
pastime of shooting craps" species
OF gambling said TO be quite novel and
known only TO the negroes, and they
are now working out their respective
fines on our streets. The streets can
stand any amount of this kind of bus
mess.
We can't say positively who tn,
county wants for congress, but we car
say who il wants for governor, as tn,
sentiment is now. John Ireland viii
