THE RESPONSE 10 ONE OF AUS

THE RESPONSE TO ONE OF AUS
TINS QUIET CONTRIBUTIONS.
The following letter needs no comment,
it carries its sincerity upon its face:
GALVESTON, Texas, December H. 1885.
Mrs Mary w. Moore, 7O7 Lavaca street, Austin.
Dear Madam am in receipt of your
letter of the 9Th inst, wherein you say
Sometime ago the ladies of Austin ship
ped to you through express three boxes of
clothing for the poor and destitute of Gall
weston. They would be pleased to know
if you received them" -
Replying thereto would st@
three (3) packages of clothing were
received and have been distributed to tng
needy sufferers from the late fire. We
acknowledged receipt of them through
the Galveston News and would have been
glad to have done so direct, but did not
know to whom we should WRITE as the let
ter advising us of their shipment gave no
information on which we could address a
letter, it being signed by zone of the
ladies of AUSTIN
Please accept now our sincere thanks
for the efforts of the ladies of Austin in
this direction.
Yours truly,
w. II. SINCLAIR,
Chairman Relief Committee.

ANOTHER MYTH.
THE TOWNLEY HEIRS CASE
PROVED TO BE a HOPE
LESS DEF ITSInO


short time ago the papers published
romantic story of the great Townley es-
tate In England, worth many millions of
dollars, that was open for division among
the heirs, many of whom resided in Texas.
The story told was plausible and appar-
emily truthful one. 1t attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Henry Ryder-Taylor, the
accomplished editor of the Texas Figaro.
Mr.. Ryder-Taylor is an English journalist,
who was formerly attached to some of the
principal English papers and who was at
one time amanuensis to the great novel
list, Charles Dickens. His experience en-
abled him to see that there was little
truth in the story mixed with a great
amount of fiction and he showed con-
cluslvely, in the Figaro, that the heirs had
as much chance of realizing on the estate
as he had of becoming the mikado of
Japan. By some means a copy of the
Figaro fell into the hands of Mr.. James
Usher, an attorney OF New York. who has
spent several years investigating this
matter and who has published, privately, a
pamphlet, giving a complete history of
the case, and all documents in connection
Herewith. Yesterday Mr.. Ryder-Taylor,
who is guest at the Avenue hotel, re-
celved the following letter from Mr..
Usher, which completely destroys all
hopes of h. Townley heirs. 1t is as
follows:

From hasty perusal of the magazine
just issued by the literary societies of the
university, one thing is evident, the stu
dents have a genuine respect for the
school. Young men are painfully honest
as general thing and never more so than
when they make their first appearance in
print. If there is any want of respect for
teachers or for the instruction given in
the class room, out it comes. The tone
of the magazine in this respect is admira-
able, and rejecting as it does, the senti-
ment of the students, who know most
about the university, it speaks authorita-
lively of the excellency of that institution.

FEW Wisconsin reformers want the
Office of president abolished, as the gov
eminent has staggered along under re-
publican president for quarter of a CEN
tury it is reasonable to suppose it will get
along under a democratic president for a
few years. At present we oppose the mo-
ton, but if the republicans should ever
get president again, we will join the
Wisconsin cranks.

The moderation of the Mexican revo-
lutionist Rodriguez is astonishing. Last
week he levied forced loan on Villal-
dana, a city of Nuevo Leon, having 81
600 inhabitants, and the amount of the
levy was 5000 cash and some corn. milk
and water revolution surely. If Rodri-
guez had asked for two milliards he would
have commanded respect, but having asked
for no more than one days beer for his
700 warriors, he is plainly unsuited to his
role.

The most lamentable sight to those
whose hearts were in the war for the
SOUTH is to see two of the generals of the
confederacy, whose fame is a part of the
glories of that period, giving the honor
of their names and influence to the Louis
lana lottery, which has been repudiated
by nearly every state in the union and re-
fused the use of the United States mails
1t has also recently failed to pay a prize
of $150,000. Early and Beauregard are
too dear to the people of the south and
their history is too nearly interviewer with
the history of the late war,to permit them
to lend those names, all hallowed by the
recollections of the most glorious period
in the existence of the confederacy, to
an enterprise of any doubt, and about
We utterly repudiate the idea that these
men, who have always been actuated by
the highest principles of honor, will con-
tinue their connection and influence fur
the1 with such scheme when they are
convinced it is unworthy of the prestige
of their great and honorable names. It is
to be hoped, as suspicion has attached to
this lottery, that these honorable and gal
liant old generals will withdraw from the
concern and permit their former com
rades in arms to care for them.

GOVERNOR BROWN has introduced pc
tition in the senate for the removal of
General Lawton's political disabilities, ''if
any exist" 1t will be remembered that
at the special session of the senate last
spring the nomination of Gen. A. r. Law
ton, of Georgia, was sent to the senate for
confirmation, by that body, as minister to
st. Petersburg. The republican senators
suggested that General Lawton labored
under political disabilities and the presi-
dent withdrew the nomination, but the
encouragement, Garland, decided that
the pardon of President Johnson was full
and complete in the removal of his dis
abilities and that there was no bar to his
appointment and acceptance of the mis-
sion. There are number of gentlemen
in the south who for twenty years have
regarded the pardon of President Johnson
as sufficient and felt themselves restored
to all political rights and that there was
no occasion for them to apply to congress.
They will watch the progress of Governor
Browns petition with much interest.

IT is estimated by some statistical per
sons in Europe that the Rothschilds es-
tates represent in the aggregate $1,000
000,000 or five times the value of the Van

that half of this little competency has
been amassed Within the last twenty-five
years.

IT is pleasant to hear from the other
side Of the world that weak as our navy is
our government is respected. A dispatch
from Washington says the navy depart
ment has received interesting reports
from Commander Barker, commanding
the U. S. S. Enterprise, from New Zealand
and Melbourne, Australia, in which he re-
lates the many courtesies shown to the Of
fcers and men of the ship by officials and
citizens. He speaks of the general wish
of the inhabitants of the colonies for es-
tablishing closer relations with the United
States, and suggests that American men
of-war be sent more frequently to these
waters. The Enterprise was the first
American man-of-war to stop at Yelling
ton, New Zealand, since the visit
of the Kearsarge in 1869, and but
one other United States naval vessel ever
anchored in Hobson's bay, the harbor of
Melbourne, and that was years ago. A
number of men, mostly apprentices, de-
serted at Melbourne in September, being
unable to Withstand the temptation of a
general demand for labor with high
wages. Commander Barker expected to
sail from New Zealand on the 9TH of No
vember for South America.

REPUBLICAN SCHEMES.

The republican party is, perhaps, the
most insidious body of men in the world.
When they are in power they are DOM
ineeriug, insulting and proscriptive, but
when out of power, obsequious, subserv
lent and insinuating.
For more than quarter of century
their policy has been to hold the south as
petty provinces, and send their carpet
baggers to rule in her state departments;
but there was too great check upon the
ambition of that party in the conserva-
tive masses of the north to permit such a
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of sovereign states to
please the malice of the republican party
rulers, and the south has reasserted her
self, and uniting with those conservative
masses of the north has .regained power,
both state and national; but now comes the
old wire-workers of this same proscript-
i've republican party, and gently reminds
Mr.. Cleveland that the civil service rules
forbids his dismissal of republican Office
holders, claiming still all the offices of
honor, profit or trust, under the general
government.
But this is not all; this same republican
party, with an insidiousness that is only
equalled by its persistency, comes, with
bated breath, to the democratic majority
III southern districts, and claiming to hold
the negro vote in their hands, asks the
democrats who live in negro districts to
cOndone their former offences and unite
upon them, these former violent republi-
can politicians, for Office, claiming that if
it is not done, some negro will be elected.
There is and can be no compromise
south solely for the emoluments
of Office and who remain here merely for
the purpose of getting into Office.
These men once ruled us with a rod of
iron and it is better to take genuine
negro than one of them. They are the
men who organized and controlled the
negro against US for so many years, and
if we make any compromise with them,
they will again obtain an ascendancy over
the negro vote, that will be used to our
detriment. Of course any actual settler
in the south, even if he be a republican,
is welcome among US, and if he deserves
Office it is his right to run for it. and if he
be good man it is we'll and polite in
our municipal affairs to give any such
man of enterprise and intelligence
office. But let US steer clear of all
entangling alliances with the men whose
object in obtaining Office by any kind of
compromise and affiliation with the dem
ocrats of the south, is again to put upon
US the CALLING yoke we once had to bear.
When they are meek and subservient
now, remember how arrogant and super
cilious they were when in power.
In Texas we have little to fear from
these republican schemers. The democ-
racy is too powerful in this state for them
to- show their heads, but in other states
of the south where the negro population
is large they are trying just such mis-
sion, because of them.

Mr.. VEST, of Missouri, has offered a re-
solution to the senate, asking the presi-
dent, if not incompatible with the public
interest, to transmit to the senate the cor
respondence had by the government of
the United States with the governments
of Italy and Austria-Hungary, in relation
to the appointment of our government of
A. M. Kelley, as envoy extraordinary and
plenipotentiary, first to the government
of Italy and then of Austria-Hungary. 1t
has been considered by the people of the
United States as an implied insult on the
part of Austria to influence the rejection
of Mr. Kelley by that country and then to
positively decline on the part of Austria.
The latter country has been jealous of this
country since en- American man of war,
under the last democratic administration
preceding this, compelled Austria to sur
render political prisoner, and the rejec-
ton of Mr.. Kelley was considered as a
gratuitous insult by the people of this
country.

Pierce was killed, will attract attention.
The sleeper, in which many passengers
were in sound repose, utterly oblivious of

seems to have been standing on high
trestle, when the engine of a fast train
crashed into it. Apparently the accident
was the result of carelessness. If so, a

ginia, Major John Daniel is every inch a
man. Emaciated in person and walking
with difficulty upon crutches, his broad
brow and classic face and a bearing that
no infirmity could lessen its dignity and
grace, marks him on sight as "a man
among men," Like Macauley said of
Warren Hastings, he has as indelibly i'm
pressed on his forehead as on the council
chamber of Calcutta, ''Mens aequa in
arduis" mind equal to any emer-
gency, although his person is decrepit
his head is set upon his shoulders at the
royal of angle command and with eagle
eye and mobile features, with language
pathetic and persuasive and anon So
norous, commanding and logic8l, asaa
eloquent, he enchains his audience and
STABLES into conviction his opponents.
From his first speech as commence
ment orator of the University of Virginia
he has commanded larger and more inter
ested audiences than any orator of his
time in Virginia. Added to all this
he is distinguished for purity of life and
intense scorn for anything mean or unfair,
John Daniel will at once take first rank
in the senate of the United States.
