IRISH AMERICANS.

Indignant at Being Bossed by General
NIailoy-Attacked by a Foot Pad.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, September ga large
representative meeting of Irish-Amer-
ican citizens was held in the district
court house this evening, Capt. Joseph
Owen presiding. The object OF the
meeting was to take action against
Gen. A. G. Malloy and others, who, as
previously wired. left here as delegates
to the Irish-American convention at
Cincinnati, which cOnVeneS tO-mor-
row.
The following resolutions were
adopted, together with a resolution
declaring thYt the time and distance
to Cincinnati alone prevented the
meeting from sending delegation to
personally represent them:
Whereas, on the 26th of September,
several parties calling themselves
Irish-Americans, led by one A. q.
Malloy, met in conclave and assumed
to speak and act for all American
citizens of Irish descent resident in
the city and county of Galveston,
and,
Whereas, such action, upon the part
of said persons, was totally unauthor-
iZed, therefore,
Resolved, that this assemblage of
American citizens, residing in Calves
toe, who claim old Ireland as the
mother country, denounce most vthe-
mently the actions of said meeting.
Resolved further, that as American
citizens. the Irishmen of Galveston dc
not propose to be led by any man, OF
set of men, but propose tc
exercise all the rights guaranteed
them by the constitution under which
they 1--we, in such manner as they may
individually deem proper.
Henry Trube, of the firm of Hawley
& Trube, last night at the corner o.
Twenty-seventh street and Avenue
H., was attacked by a footpad and Sc
verely injured. Trube, at the time
was accompanied by an estimabl'
young lady, whom he was escortins
home from the beach, and but for he
nerve in hampering the ruffian by in
terposing her body, Trube would hav
in all probability been murdered. Th
young lady sustained slight injuries
No clue to the perpetrator.

report, with the chief examiner in
saying that the abuses of the fee sys-
TEN are not confined to any district or
section of country, but are, with few
notable exceptions, so prevalent and
so obvious that it is not to be won
dered at that deputy marshals and
deputy internal revenue collectors
nave been set down as if they were
enemies of the people. Such a syste-
matte scheme of robbing the public
and harrassing the peaceable citizens
OF the coEntry is of sufficient scope to
N oe witnout any possible justification
q excuse.
1t does seem that if those in high
position, having the appointing power,
had made any reasonable effort
to secure only honest and
met with better success. In tact, it is
hard to understand how any man
unless himself an expert in these
wicked practices-could have succeed
ell in selecting so many disreputable
public officials, but the very peculiar
civil service rule adopted in the ap-
pointment and promotion of this class
of officials will doubtless account for
some of the bad results.
The report here names several Off
cials who were rewarded by promo
tion, or otherwise, in spite of their il
legal acts and says, with such a sys-
tenn OF selection and advancement of
officials, it is not to be wondered at
that.the country has been cursed with
rulers where the least hienous crime
was that of public plundering.

GALVESTON, September 30.-After
thirty-tWo days unremitting labor the
C. roner'S Jury concluded the inquest
on the manner of the death of Richard
Flechsig. Deceased was young Ger
man, employed as assistant to Charles
Juneman, dairyman, domiclled down
the island, who, it was charged by
Mrs. Juneman, made indecent pro-
posals to her during her husbands ab-
sence, and being denied, murderously
assaulted her with hatchet, cutting
her in the head.
at the time it was stated and pub
lished that Mrs. Juneman, in defend
ing her chastity, had been so cruelty
beaten that she died from the extent
of her injuries; whereas it was subsequ-
emily developed that her injuries, at the
worst, were superficial, and that
Flechsig's act was not SO heinous as
represented. This discovery led 10
feeling which grew into general IN
dignation on finding Flechslg's body,
showing the unfortunate man had
been roped and dragged to death by
SILL LAiO
authorities then took the matter UP,
n. p. Brady representing the state
and Hugo Brosig the German society.
Investigation was pushed with vigor,
and in the volume of testimony taken
by Justice J. G, Spann. the
coroner, sufficient evidence was OBJ
tained to warrant the verdict that the
deceased, Richard Flechsig, came to
his death in the county of Galveston,
on the 9th day of August, 1884, at the
hands of Charles Juneman, w. T.
Allen, Cliff Porter and Henry Weyer,
aided and abetted by F. Kaehler and
Il. L. Brown. All the parties were
arrested, to-day, and released on bond,
except Porter, who left the island
after the killing, and is supposed to
be in Houston, The warrant for his
arrest has been forwarded to the sher-
iff of Harris county.
