THE NEWS FROM HOUSTON
A MURDER IN THE BAYOU CITY
Nothing to Identify the Victim and no
Clew to the Assassin-A Ragged
Edge Railroad Eumor for
Texas Central Attaches.

Houston, Jan. L. Special - Last
night the headless trunk Of man was
found about mile from the city on the
second floor of an unOccupied house.
The head had been cut oil and was tive
blocks away. No clue to the perpetra-
tor of the brutal outrage, Nothing was
found on the body to identify It. The
killing must have been done two weeks
ago, ~ the body was badly decomppsed.
1t is believed from his appearance that
the victim was a young man and well
dressed. IL is believed he was originally
one-armed. There is no way to ferret
out the matter.
C.P. Huntington and T. w. Pierce,
railroad magnntes, arrived here this
morning from New Orleans. Hunting.
ton left for New Orleans ana Pierce for
San Antonio this evening. IL is feared
some heads of denartments will be cut
off in n few days on account of the con-

the south from the north almost en-
trely, whilst none were assigned posi-.
uons north from the south, would it not
be well to ask what these Republican
gentry have to do with CLEyELAND's
selections? To make it more poiuted
wonld it not have been considered i'm
pudence in Democrats to have suggested
to BLAINE, in case Of his election. the
direction of his patronage? The HER
AID don't say such promptings are i'm
pertinent, but would be very 10th to
take issue with anyone who would de-
clare It to be an excellent counterfeit of
that esteemed quality.
But seriously is there man so utterly
blinded by local prejudice as to deny
the fact that the general government
would be remiss in its organic instincts
were 1t to ignore the fact that there were
such subdivisions of the country as
states. The silliest utterance of MIR.
LINCOLN was that in which he denied
the right of state to secede, and
Illustrated the absurdity of secession
by the query as to what
more right state had to go out of the
union than county out of state.
Such nonsense betrays a false idea of
our history, of the organization of colo
MES into states and of the creation of
general government. The people of
the different states are all entitled to
representation, not only in congress,
but in the different departments of the
government.
The south is an integral part of the
union. She does not ask for control of
the government, but repels with savage
disgust the idea advanced by the Phila-
delphia Express that it would be indec-
orous for her to ask that her home Of
ilces be filled with home people. The
general economy of the country, the
plain and natural procedure in select
ing its agents, the safe principles of
justice and right demand that the south
whose solid vote was somewhat instru-
mental in electing Mr.. CLEVELAND
should be recognized as an integral part
of the union and not as conquered
province

RANDALL'S VISIT

1t was for long time a surmise and
speculation on the part of many as to
what was the objective point TO which
Mr.. RANDALL's southern visit was
directed. The Nashville speech, with
others, seem TO focus the light on his
purpose and intent rather plainly.
The tenor of his observations seems to
indicate that he is addressing the labor
ing classes. Undoubtedly there was a
sentiment among some of the southern
people, principally manifesting itself
among mechanics and contractors, that
the tariff was beneficial to the respec-
tive classes to which they belonged,
inasmuch as it was claimed to 10
a barrier between them and cheap for
eign labor. To the point of confirm
ing and strengthening tins idea, MIR.
RANDALL has devoted his most mus
cular and brainy efforts. His anxiety
is that he shall not be confronted in con-
gress with a solid opposition from the
south. But Mr.. RANDALL should re-
member that all his arguments are
seedy and that the naked fact still
stands forth that the great million
masses of the south are unwilling to nay
two prices Tor an article when there is
an opportunity of purchasing the same
tol one good remunerative cosideration.
No art, no sophistry can wheedle non
manufacturers cut of this solid convic-
ton.
