now stated that the losses aggregate
about 100000. President Welch, of the
American Sugar Refinery, is said to be q
sufferer by the purchase of some two
hundred shares of stock in the Fertilizing
Company, which stock was an over
issue and therefore vaiueless. Mans
field Lowell, broker, who is
conducting the examination of Merle's
books, is loser to the extent
of 81 ,000 From the investigation it is be-
lieved the loss of Fairbanks & Co. is
about 1000, and number of other

that Merle has made his way to Canada.

Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
Dear Sir, heed the admonition not to
saddle the right hOrse;" as | would not
like to be misunderstood. | am always
open to conviction, and gladly accept
more light, on any subject considered.
In reference to my article Of March LIST,
IL was not my intention to reflect upon
the actions OF the good citizens OF San
Antonio In the Rosa Schmidt case.
Neither do | question the act of our eX-
oellent chief magistrate, to whom owe
allegiance, and the high respect. Accord
Ing TO our idea OF civil government with
reference to woman, mans worshiping
angel, Ia to elevate her, and not degrade
her; we owe this sunbeam of light TO
true religion. And the most prominent
features OF a dispeDsstiOn of mercy.
should be In her favor uuder all copsid-
eratiOns. | believe it can be done with
out impesching any part of punitive, or
vindiOtlve justice, which renders the
punishment OF the unpsrdoned certain,
so that no criminal shall escape: il
graduates the exact proportion OF pun
ishment to nature and the circumstances
OF the ofense. The newspaper accounts
and comments on the transfer of the
prisoner from the Jail to the railway
train, surrounds the subjects with cir
cumstances fully calculated to lead the
unsuspecting seeker after truth, to
wrong conclusions. In the attempt to
elucidate they mystified the whole af-
fair, by making one feature OF the
transferring OF the prisoners, very prom
other features, equally as deserving.
Your statement of facts, with reference
to the qusrtette, throws much light on
the subject to those who were not on
the ground. My knowledge OF his teach

but equally so. 1t is fact beyond
controversy, that some men grow des-
perate, when clothed with a little au-
thorlty, the moment, they are installed
as an officer, they cease to be one OF the
people. They are, officers! Though, [
suppose 1t may linger fresh, in the
minds OF thoughtful officers, who have
to guard, and transport prisoners; the
precious sacrifice made by Marshall
Hal Gosling. To my mind there is no
reason for cruelty to cOnvicts by officers,
still there may be but few, who are
willing to make the awful sacrifice, for
empty praise, or for the falsely STYLED
honors conferred by the inoOnsiderate.
