CRAWFORD, TEX, May 1--WE were
visited last evening by one of the most
terrific wind and rain storms this year,
the rain lasting for three hours in a
constant pour.
Bosque river is brim-full, overflow
ing the valley around.
Some crops near the watersheds are
damaged by the washing, while Others
on level land are in better condition
than before.
Our young folks enjoyed a nice free

and that would have been to bow to the de-
cision of the people and simply exercise the
supervisory power of confirmation, to see
that capable and suitable yaen were put in
office without giving any preference to those
much deserving patriots who had carried
water on both shoulders. But now it will
become the duty of the Senate to
examine this new doctrine of offensive
partisanship. If the administration means
to plant itself on the doctrine that
it regards politics of no consequence;
if the authorities now at Washing
ton do not care whether they administer
through their own friends or not; if they
think that Democrats as Democrats have no
advantage for them over Republicans, then
the Senate may very properly say that if the
administration pretendS to care nothing for
politics on its side it SHALL not with the assist
anee of a Republican body offer premium
| for lukewarmness and treachery on our side.
1t will become the special duty of the
| Senators from this State to take a proper in

especially honored by experiments in this
new virtue of inoffensiVeness. Not only

of offensive partisanship, the wisdom must

Col. A. Lowden Snowden who for twenty
eight years has been superintendent of the
mint at Philadelphia, has just retired volun-
tarily. A few nights ago the employees of
the mint gathered in the adjusting room and
after an address by one of their number
which spoke in terms of highest compliment
Of his administration and especially of his
fair and considerable treatment of his subord-
mates, presented him with an elegant gold
watch valued at 800. A statement prepared
by Col. Snowden of the operations of the
mint during his connection with it is interes-
ting: While Col. Snowden was Register the
amount of bullion operated upon was $133,-
6S3, 47547-$122, 146, S2655 in gold, and $11,-
536,64S.92 in silver. While he was Chief
Conner, from 1866 to 1876, the amount of bull
lion operated upon was $3.50, 946, 297 .9O-$ H.
13l,011.16 in gold, and $5S S15, 1854 in silver
Upon this bullion there was a legal allow
ance for wastage of S159, 3S0.69 The actual
Wastage was 6,05342, a saving to the Gov
eminent of $143,327.27 In other words,
while the Government allowed $40 for vast
age, there was only wastage of ST.. The
total amount of bullion operated upon while
Colonel Snowden was Superintendent of the
mint from March 4, 1872 to June 50, 1885.
was 355, 407, 1878 ounces, equal to $685.
637,O67.46. Upon this the legal allowance
for wastage was 81, no. o3.S9, while the ac-
tual wastage was $76 25S14, IA saving of
$1,094,645.75. 1t will be seen that the total
value of the gold and silver handled by Col
Snowden during his connection with the
mint was 81, 702, 266, 840.S6 to which must be
added 81, 229, 1862 in minor coins issued by
him as Chief Conner and Superintendent
making 81, ,495, 947.0S in ALL The total
amount of the gold by weight was 4,377 tons,
and of silver Il, 477-16,824 tons in all.
