Edward Green, (colored), was charged
before Justice Vallandigham, by Harry
II. Haines with stealing four nuts from
the wheels of a two horse wagon and q
wrench all valued ut $500. Green had
been in the employ of IIanes but had
been discharged about week before the
property was missed, and then he made
threats against the property of Haines,
and that he still insisted upon hanging
around the livery stable, On Saturday
night when the plaintiff put the wagon
away about 10 o'clock, he hid the wrench
and the only person who saw him hide
1t was Green. 1t was found the next
morning that the nuts had been remov-
ed from the axles, and the wrench was
also gone. The Justice was inclined to
discharge the prisoner when he (Green)
volunteered TO make a statement in his
own defense. His explanation was more
damaging than the testimony given
against him, for he contradicted himself
continually, and averred that he had not
been in Newark Saturday night then he
said he had been in Newark, but with
Joe Bias the whole evening. These
statements of the prisoner were proven
to be utterly untrue, and in default of
$500 bail was taken to Jail by Constable
Mote. Neither the burs nor the wrench
have yet been found. This man Green
deserves severe punishment for such a
cowardly act. The wagon might have
been sent out with several persons in it,
and the wheels coming off a serious acct
dent would have been the result.

Head Of Ohristiana Church.

-"
The special services held for two weeks
in Head of Christiana Church were
brought to close on the oath ult., and
on the following Sabbath fourteen per-
sons were on examination received and
enrolled as members. Six of them were
members of the PASTORS Bible-class. In
two instances husband and wife came
together TO connect themselves with the
people of Cod in another mother and
her son; and in a third all the children,
four in number, of one Of the elders.
This elder when quite youth, and the
lady who Afterwards became his wife,
were received into the church by the
present pastor he afterwards married
them, baptised their children in their
infancy, and has now received those
children into the full communion of the
church - exemplifying the encourage
ment, the privilege, the bl- 5sing of a
long pastorate. Head of Christiana
Church is, with the exception of the
church at New Csltle, the oldest Presby-
terrain church in the State of Delaware.
There IS documentary evidence that the
gospel was preached there in l7Os, how
much earlier is not known. 1t is also
distinguished for long pestorates. Dur
ing the whole period of its existence it
has had only six pastors. The present

Fortieth Anniversary.

Relatives and friends gathered at the
residence of Evan w. Lewis, in this
town, on Thursday, to celebrate the 10th
anniversary of his birthday. Representa-
tives of four generations were present,
and the occasion was fraught with much
pleasure and good cheer. A sumptuous
dinner was partaken of. The great grand
father, Evan Lewis, occupied the post OF
honor at the head of the table, and be-
fore the friends had seated themselves
around the festive board, he made them
an address ON the family history, which
was certainly interesting. At the close
of these remarks, he invoked the bless
ing of God upon the happy assemblage,
In taking their departure, all wished the
boy who had just reached the 10th mile
store, as many more years of happiness
and prosperity.

GREER COUNTY.

In view of the interest involved in the
Greer county question, it may be neces,
sary to state that the special dispatch
from Fort Worth, published in Sunday
STATESMAN, purpOrting to give the final
decision of the commission now in SEES
sion in this city, awarding Greer county
to the United States appeared simultane-
ously in the Fort Worth Gazette, Houston
Post and Waco Examiner. We know
nothing whatever of the author of the dis
patch, which has been declared bogus by
Maj. j. Z. Breckenridge, of the commits
sion, who has pronounced it untrue and
manufactured out of the whole cloth.
The telegram appeared in the papers
above mentioned dated from Austin, but
we have the best of reason for stating it
never went through the Western Union of
flee of this city.
If so, there is a mystery hanging over
the affair, almost as dark as that which
enveloped the slanderous dispatch on Col.
Swain some months ago.
Mr. McBryde, the regular Austin CORES
pondent of the Gazette, states he neither
sent nor had any knowledge whatever of
the dispatch till he saw it in Sunday morn
ing's papers.
The information contained in the tele-
gram must have been forwarded by letter,
from Austin, or else sent from some other
point outside of this city.
At any rate, whoever is the author
whether the object was to damage a
prominent candidate or purely specula-
tive and financial-a wrong has certain
ly been done the state and
people of Texas, if Major Brackenridge's
declaration is true, and none will doubt
it who know him.
From all we know of the history of
the Greer county case, it would be a most
surprising thing indeed it, as represent
ed in the dispatch alluded to, the com
mission would be unanimous in awarding
territory of 1,62SOO0 acres to the
United States, when half the commission
are Texans.

for larger crops than Texas has ever
known. The cotton yield will be much
larger this year than last, and indeed, ex-
cept through a small portion of the
state, the year has the pros
poets of being the most prosperous in
the history of Texas. This is not an OPP
timistic view, but on the contrary it is a
natural rebound after the great depres
sion in the state, consequent upon unfa-
vorable reports.
When Texas has added the grand total
and computed her yields from her soil for
this year, and gives it abroad to the
world, it will cause an influx of settlers
never excelled.
The attention of the people has been
directed to Texas because of the great
labor troubles she has had. and this in
PRODUCTION will serve to rivet their atten-
ton upon its advantages, and when they
see what she is doing, they can not with.
stand the temptation to emigrate to land
holding out so many inducements. So
that in this way our labor troubles will
really be turned to some good for the
state.

LARGE CROPS.

Reports have been prevalent through
many sections of Texas that the crops
this year would be a failure. OF course it
is necessary to the existence of some peo-
pie that they should grumble and rail at
the present state of affairs, however ia
vorable they may be. In fact,
at times these croakers are an
actual benefit; they prepare the
too sanguine for disappointments. But
this year they have cried before they were
hurt. Many parts of the state we're affect
ed by the dry spell short time back, and
Immediately it was reported that crops
were ruined, without taking into consider
alton that they we're at that time unin-
iured, but the report was based on the
contingency that the dry spell would
last until the crops we're gathered. Now
other reports supplant the wall of the
croakers. Men who have travelled, inves-
tigated and inquired into the true state of
affairs say that the prospects this year are

WORSE THAN UNJUST.

1t is perfectly right and proper for
newspapers to be Independent on any is
sue-it is their privilege but they ought,
at the same time in justice to their read
ers, to be fair. The Galveston News, of
Sunday, published a special from Clarks-
vile, announcing that Red River county
convention had instructed for DeMorse
for governor. On the same day the Dial.
las News published the same report,
but corrected it with another
that the convention which Endorsed De
Morse were boilers from the regular dem.
ocratic convention and did not send dele
gates to the congressional or judicial con
vention, but only to Galveston, show
ing that it was put up job on behalf of
DeMorse or Ross, from the fact of their
failure to attend to the other duties of
county convention. The News'es adver-
tise the fact that they have
private wire from Dallas to Calves
ton, and the same account should have
appeared in the Galveston paper as in
the Dallas. But granted that their pri-
vate wire did not work, in Justice, the
Monday issue of the Galveston end ought
to have made some correction of the
error, but instad of that, and with ample
time to inquire into the matter, it says in
yesterdays Issue that, Swain should try
and have good, healthy band of rangers
sent to Red River county" Now, this is
very funny no doubt, but it is more than
unjust it is dishon est
If the News wants to see Swain defeated;
if it knows what it wants, let it come ont
in fair, honest manner to accomplish
that end, and not use underhanded meas.
ures. 1t might be justifiable in desperate
campaigning, but it is most malicious in
the present instance.

and will use all honorable methods to have

JUDGE DAVID DAVIS.

It is reported that Judge David Davis is
seriously, and, perhaps, fatally ill with
erysipelas, complicated with Bright'5
disease of the kidneys. By his death the
country would lose an able and, at one
time, conspicuous man, talented judge,
conservative statesman. 1t will be re-
inopportune resignation from the United
States supreme bench to accept the place
of United States senator, that the whole
complexion of the famous electoral com
mission was changed, and the Infamous
vote of eight to seven cast on the side of
fraud and corruption. Had Judge Davis
retained his position on the supreme
bench but a while longer, because of his
seniority he would have been one of the
five Judges on the commission, and Til
den, not Hayes, would have been the
president.
As it was, ambition turned the scale, Da-
Wis won, and the country sadly lost. Should
he, at this time, pass away, one landmark
of that feverish and distraught time will
be missing vain regret be gone.
That occasion was blight upon the honor
of our fair government, that will tester
long, though the lapse of years may soothe
it with a forgetful balm. As these monu
mental men drop off, the years of their
lives are counted over their praises sung,
their missed chances brought to mind
and not till coming generations think of
this as the past century, and the men who
build for us as the masOns of an antiquat-
ed art, will tn: deeds of rs lose their
sting and our country proudly lift her
head, her honor unbesmirched.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring Or
gans. At times, symptoms of indigestion
are present. fatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. moisture like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itch

established with certainty what was onl,
vaguely alleged, that these sums were maid
into the treasury. 1t makes no difference
whether Brown was responsible for thes
sums or not. or whether he knew of their
existence, Sneeds evidence eliminated
these charges and from the credit column
an equal sum. No part of these charges
is represented in the Judgment recovered
by the state.
There is neither evidence i'll the record.
nor IN the brief statement, argument or
citation of authority sustaining the com
plant made of a debit of $4,000 arising
from the sale of bonds. The charge was
proved and not disproved, and may law
fully have occurred under the act of July
| 6, 1876; General Laws, page 40.
There was no evidence whatever that
any portion of the first two items in the
account was repeated in other parts of
the statement. That Brown issued the re-
ceipts for some such portion proves the
possibility of a double charge. But this
mere possibility cannot be argued into
proof over the pregnant silence of Brown,
and Sneed's eager and fruitless search for
| errors. If there had been such error it
could easily, and would certainly have
been proved.
The evidence was sufficient to sustain
the finding that there was deficiency.
Sneed's exhaustive inves igatio /, in the
pecuniary interest of Brown, and in vim
dication of his own character, under all
the circumstances surrounding him, leaves
no doubt of the correctness of the exhibit
to the plaintiffs petition. More money
was received than was accounted for. The
difference is stated in the principal judg-
ment.
1t was only incumbent on the
state to prove the deficit--not to
trace out the causes of it. 1t is to
be regretted that the leak has
not been discovered, but it is gratifying
to the lover of justice that notwithstand-
ing this mystery, the evidence is indis-
putably clear ard plain enough to stife
every influence of dishonesty on Browns
part. and to fix upon the mind salts
flying conviction of the personal integrity
of Sneed.
The findings of the court below properly
dis posed of all the material issues in the
case: The exception to them is not well
taken.
There is no error in the record, and the
Judgment is accordingly affirmed.
The Steady case appealed from Btxar
county, was a suit for trespass to try title
to league of land in Uvalde county.

\ VINDlCATION.

In the case of Goodrich VS.. the State,
involving the difficulty Ill the accounts of
ex-Comptroller Brown, an opinion was
delivered yesterday by Associate Justice
following language occurs in the opinions:
at was only incumbent on the state
to prove the defect not to trace out the
cause of it, 1t is to be regretted that the
cause has not been discovered, but it is
gratifying to the lover of justice. that
Notwithstanding this mystery,the evidence
is undis putably clear and plain enough to
stitle every inference of dishonesty on
Browns trial, and to fix upon the mind n
satisfying conviction of the personal in
tegrity of Sneed.
THE findings of the court below prop.
erly disposed of all the initial issues in
the case. The exception to :he case is
not well taken.
There is no error in the record and the
judgment is accordingly affirmed
This language, used by a court of last
resort, should remove forever every YES
tage of suspicion of intentional wrong on
the part of either Mr.. Brown or Capt
Sneed. Both are men, who, under every
vicissitude of life,have always maintained
high reputation for integrity. The cause
of the deficiency no one may ever be able
to discover; but as the court says, the evil
dence left no ground even for an infer
ence of dishonesty on the part of either
Brown or Sneed Capt. Sneed has resided
in Austin for over forty years, and during
all that time he has maintained an ire
proachable character. Ex-Comptroller
Brown has also had, during his whole life,
the confidence of all who kwew him, and
it is gratifying to the friends of both to
see this complete vindication by the court.
