ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

There is not gentleman in the coun-
try to-day who has better assurances of
cabinet appointment than DIR. GEoRoE
L.. MILLRR, Of Omaha, Nebraska. No
man in the country has greater claims
ON the Democratic party for preferment
and honor. During the dark days Of the
Democratic party from 1861 TO 1872, when
IL required men of exalted patriotism
and true firmness TO assert honest opin-
ion in opposition TO the radical rule Of
Republicanism, DIR. MILLER never fall
tered; and when the lights of true De-
mocracy were extinguished on nearly
all the affairs Of the party in the extreme
radical states of the north, they burned
brightly in the sactum of DIR. MrLLEp.
He has maintained his principles intact,
not from q desire 10 secure Office, but
from upright motives and love of true
and honest government. The following
tribute paid DIR. MILLER from prom
inent paper in Iowa, is well deserved
but the half has not been told OF the
Doctors true worth, talent and merit:
Rumor is busy with the name Of Dr.
GEoRoE L. MILLER, OF the Omaha Her
aid, in connection with cabinet posi-
ton, that OF postmaster-general, to sue
coed FRANK HArroS, OF Iowa. DIR.
MILLER has been in New York, his ma

WILMINGTON, Jan. ga contro-
versy has been carried on recently in
the columns of the National Republi-
can, OF this city, between DIR. A. Y.
p. Garnett, who was Jefferson Davis
physician during the war, and
Mr.. Hiddell, who, during the same
period, held the Office Of private
secretary to Alexander III. Stephens,
touching the adherence or indifference
of Davis during the war TO the doc
trine of states rights. MIR. Hiddell
stated in "a communication to the Re-
publican that all of Mr.. Davis cabinet
officers, as well as Vice-President
Stephens, distrusted the sincerity
of Mr.. Davis adherence.to the doctrines
states rights, and were fully of the be-
at a supreme dictatorship
of tho confederacy, Mr.. Garnett re-
piled, denying the statement of
Hiddell and finally announced
his intention of writing to Mr.. Davis on
the matter. He did write to Mr.. Davis,
and now furnishes the Republican with
an autograph letter on the subject from
that gentleman, of which the following
is copy:
Beauvoir, Mlss., Jan. Is, 1S35,-To DR.. A. Y.

ago. All but two of the prisoners (thir-
teen i'll nurnber) have been caught, to-
gether with four who are under charge
of said breaking.
Monday morning two horses and sad
dies were missing from town, and on in
quiry it was ascertained that
two little boys were also minus. The
owner of the horses soon struck the
trail of the little "kids," and late in the
afternoon returned with them, having
caught them only two hours ride from
town. The boys referred to were Bob
Miller and Walter Condron, aged IA and
l6 respectively. 1t is to be hoped that
the present legislature will provide g
house of correction or some other way
of reforming these youthful law-break
ers.

Toms from Ruak.

RUsK, Jan. I.-[Special. AFTER con-
siderable troublein settling preliminary
arrangements, work was to-day begun
on another fine brick block on the north
side of the public square, consisting of
two two story and two three-story brick
buildings, the lower 10 no used for
business houses and the upper ones for
hotel. Two other brick buildings, on
the same side of town, are in contem-
plation. These buildings are being
erected by Nlessrs. Conner d Farris for
contractors at the penitentiary at this
place.
The people endorse the HERALD on
the agitation on the reiOrmatory and
penitentiary matters. The state had
better utilizothe room already prepared
at great cost before building more pris
ons, the penitentiary ut this place hay,
ing never yet been run or occupied &c
half its capacity.

A CITIZEN MISSING.
Mr.. G. III. Miller, a well-known and
industrious citizen of Austin, left home
Sunday afternoon, the 18th of this
month, to attend church, and has not
been heard of since. He was engaged
in the coal and wood business, was a
prominent knight of Honor, and IL Is
feared he has been foully dealt with.
He is about As years OF age, one leg
short, and limps when walking.

favorably in the morning, but the bill to
erect an additional penitentiary will

Mr.. Gibbs, on tie vote ON the female
clerk bill, would have voted yea, first,

do so.

was member of the national Demo-
cratic committee from 1875 to 1880. he
was one of those Democrats, in that
memorable year Of 1876, who did most
noble work; and succeeded in
leading the party to victory
to be defrauded by an infamous
scheme of villainy that ought never be
eondoned. Whatever good fortune may
fall to the share of DIR. MILLER, in the
distribution of the offices by the new
administration,will be hailed with glad
ness by thousands Of people in the
northwest, both Democrats and Republi-
cans, who recognize the powerful infiu-
ence he has exsrted for twenty-five
years, not only in carrying the Demo.
cratic flag into new territory, but fight
ing like Trojan for the material devel-
opment of this section of the
country. No single individual has
done more in the latter direction than
he. No citizen of this section of the
country, is more highly esteemed than
he is, and none is more deserving OF
this esteem, for every quality that goes
to make up the high minded man Of
genuine ability. DR.. MILLER has moi
been a mere politician. He has the
breadth of view of the statesman; and
if he is selected as one of the constitu
tional advisers of PRESIDENT CLEvE
LAND, his character is an assurance
that whatever share he may have in the
administration will be a credit to the
, Democratic party.

SHERMAN, Jan. T.-tSpecial. Tho
city council last night accepted the bid
OF the Canton Bridge company, to erect
an iron bridge over Post Oak creek, at
the Houston street crossing. The tear

otherwise there will be no way OF get

The Fire Record,

CLEBURNE, Jan. 3d. Delayed special.
The hotel building, lately occupied
by e. Pennington, was burned this morn
ing. The fire department was very
slow in getting to the fire, and prompt
ness most likely would have saved the
building, but they did fine work and
saved thousands of dollars worth of
property when they did get things
fixed. The house was vacant and well
covered by insurance. The fire was the
work of an incendiary, and Col. Cham
bers, the owner, has offered $l,00 and
Edd Hyder 500 reward for the discovery
Of the incendiary. The reward will
most likely be increased by other prop
erty owners, rs the pnblic is indignant.
The crime will be ferreted out if officers,
aided by the community, can do it.
One Vaughn, once an operator at
Millsap, was adjudged lunatic to-day.

and sleeping rooms for employees, the
chapel OF the institution, finished only
last spring, and the dry house. Loss,

among the 100 patients, most of whom
watched the fire, and no one was in
