THE BUSH MAXDAMuS CASE.
A Pice of official TOm-fOOlery at Last
Ended by the Courts.

On Thursday, the supreme court
decided a case that is of peculiar in
terest to the people of this county,
as it was the outcome of the most
arrant piece of official tom-foolery
known here for a long time.
When the bridge across the river
was built, the county court agreed
to pay $4,000 of the cost. Accord
ingly a tax was levied at the proper
time to raise the funds. In Decem-
Der, 1856, the bridge was completed,
and the taxes not yet having come
in, the county court authorized
County Judge Shaw to borrow the
money at the bank of Ladd & Bush,
and pay it to the bridge company.
This was done, and warrants were
drawn bearing per cent. interest,
and given to Ladd & Bush. In
May, after the taxes had begun to
come in, the warrants were present
ed to County Treasurer Giesy, who
refused to pay them, claiming he
had not sufficient funds. The two
warrants were then redrawn in war;
rants of $1,000 each, but the above
named official refused to pay
them or any part of them,
saying that the bank had no
legal claim against the county for
$4,000, because he had not handled
the original $4,000. He felt
"iniured in his dignity" or words
to that effect.
This refusal rather surprised the
bankers, as well as the county court,
and everybody else, and Bush at
once began a suit for mandamus
compelling Giesy to pay the war
rants. Judge Boise granted per-
emptOry writ awarding Bush judg-
ment for the amount, and costs, but
Giesy failed to respond to the writ,
and after short absence from the
city, on returning, Judge Boise was
met by one of the attorneys for the
county treasurer, and induced to
modify his judgment-he having
previously failed to file findings of
facts in the case, and his modification
left the matter in Giesy's hands
virtually, and did not allow costs.
Both parties to the suit then ap-
pealed, but Giesy's appeal was dis
missed, and on Thursday the
supreme court granted Bush a per-
emptory mandamus against Giesy,
and costs of action.
The case has caused the county to
pay interest on $4,000 for over a
year, while sufficient money to pay
the warrants has lain idle in the
treasury-or at least it should have
and has thrown large bill OF costs
on to the county.
Giesy Las ten days in which to
move a rehearing, which he will
likely do, as he don't want to pay
the $4,000 if he can help it. The
matter has destroyed the county's
credit, and it was impossible for
the court to borrow any money last
fall to pay current expenses.

The Tlllotson.
he Editor of the Statesman !:

To the Editor of the Statesman:
1t was my good fortune to be present at
an entertainment at the Tillotson Insti-
tute last night. What is being done at
that institution, may not interest your
readers, as it does the passing stranger.
But the fact remains that they should
care for the education and the elevation
of the negro race. These young men are
citizens of our republic. Since they are
to be responsible, in some measure, for its
governments does it not behoove all patriots
to see that they are fitted for their privi-
leges and rights? Especially interested
in schools, and visiting them north and
south, must admit that the literary ex-
ercises of last evening compared favor
ably with any of their grade anywhere.
Several authors were considered, and a
sketch of the life of each preceded Sc
lection from their works. Some of their
poems were felicitously rendered in APP
propriate music or recitation.
A number of white persons
and many colored men were
present, and evidently appreciated the
performances of these exceptionally
bright young men and women. Tnlotson
costs the people of Austin nothing. But
il is doing a good work for more than the
class for which it was des'gned. Methinks,
it is an important factor In the material
prosperity of Texas. 1t may attract cap
ital and labor, superadd energy and thrift
and the great natural resources of
this state would develope rapidly.
Do not capitalists think of the advantages
of schools and churches when they make
investments!
"yerily the children Of this world are
wise in their generation" In regard to
this vineyard of the Lord, are the children
of light as wise as they ought to be: Do
they encourage Christian effort by all
needed moral support and sympathy :
There is n good opportunity here to
strengthen the hands and encourage the
hearts" of those who toll in season and
out of seas on WAYFARER.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
The County Teachers, and What
They Did Yesterday.

L
The County Teachers institute met
yesterday with County Superintendent
Maxwell in the chair, and Miss Eliza
Mitchell as secretary.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.,
Ma Gwell.
An interesting paper was read by Mr..
George Walling on IA trustees duty" II
we had more trustees of Mr.. Walliug' 3
spirit a decided improvement in our
public schools would be the result.
DIR. George B. Halstead, of the State
university, delivered most entertaining
and instructive lecture on "a Teachers
Trials" 1t is very regretable that more
parents and more trustees were not
present to hear Dr. Halstead yesterday
He is clear, forcible and logical speaker
Those who were absent missed an intel
loctual treat that they may not have the
opportunity of enjoying again soon.
Miss Bette Peel read well-written es-
say on the subject "To What Ex-
tent Should Teachers Aid Their Pupils"
She WAS listened to with close attention.
In the afternoon Miss Caswel, of the Ans
tin public schools, entertained the insti-
tute with an excellent paper on the cur =
riculum of the primary grade.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
institute in February the time of meeting
was changed from the fourth to the first
Saturday. This circumstance may ac-
count for the limited attendance, as the
change may not have been generally
known.
After transacting general business the
institute adjourned to meet the first Sat
day in May.
