An Outlaw Rescued.

MACON, Ga, January 6.-Willie
Wallace, the notorious outlaw of Har-
ris county was rescued from Jail in
Hamilton, at three o'clock yesterday
morning by large number of masked
men. The party rode into town on a
full gallop and hastily threw out
guards on every road leading INTO
Hamilton. Ten horsemen were
around the residence of Sheriff Kim
brough, and the men first tried to pry
oft a large iron bar which fastened
the front door of the Jail. but failed in
the effort and then they broke the
lock. After getting the front door
open, they soon broke the locks
to the iron cage and Wallace
stepped out aud joined his friends.
They then rode off; when the
men first started to-work they
were heard by two negroes, who
at once told a number OF white men,
and as soon as possible they went to
the jail, TO find the party gone. The
rescuers also took with them a negro
who was in Jail, named Dan Tatum.
1t is supposed Tatum must have rec
ognized some of the men. If this is
so, there is no doubt he was killed,
for it was the desperate crowd which
has been the cause of so many negro
killings in this county during the
past few months. Sheriff Kimbrough
has organized a posse to scour the
country for the men. Wallace was the
head OF the band which terrorized the
negroes last summer. OF one murder
he is known to have been personally
guilty, while many others are ascribed
TO him

and the Weather.
AUSTIN, January 4, 1870.
Daily LIGHT:
AS the new year has fully set in
and everybody settled down to bust
ness, forgetting almost that the old
year ever was, only in correcting dates
as to the year making $50 instead Of
1890, YOU can see the "clerks" busy
rustling around among the different
departments, chucking bill under
the nose or eyes of the debtor wanting
money.
Politics have scarcely made start
yet, only occasionally when the clerks
in the different departments after
office hours get together and talk OF
the probable candidates for Office Tor
the year 1890.
The heads of the different offices
are very busy preparing reports for
the public showing their officials acts
for the past year. Among the most
important Of these reports is that of
the comptroller. In this department
it takes considerable careful work
and labor to get up a correct report.
This office has some thirty-five
men employed, divided into sew
eral different departments, and
each department has assigned to
| it certain class of work,
and that work requires careful man
agement to have it correctly executed
in every particular, for where an error
is made in any branch of this depart
ment it requires world of work to
correct it, and no eye is more ready to
detect any errors than that of our very
able and efficient comptroller, John d.
Mccall. Certainly there is no man
| more efficient and as we'll up in the
business of this department than Nc
Call; he is always at his post of duty
and very precise in the management
| of the affairs of the office. That, to-
gether with his thorough knowledge
of the very intricate duties he has to
| perform, makes him an officer that the
state of Texas should wish to retain in
the comptroller's office.
The report of the Comptroller is
now in the hands of the printer and
will be out in a short time, giving
a full detailed report of the financial
affairs of the state for the past year.
The taxes are coming in very nicely.
And never nave collections been as
! close, and as prompt settlements
made monthly by collection. Their
promptness is worthy of all common
dat'ol. Austin is quie'. Weather
cloudy and somewhat gloomy, sun
shine would be hailed with delight.

What Are They Doing With the
SnnaHa

For the past few days the city has
been at work laying off the Alamo
circle in walks and digging holes for
trees. To the artistic eye the work
so far is rude and unsubstantial. 1t
would have been much better to have
left the whole circle, except plat in
the center, and walk through the
center connecting Crockett street, a
grass plat. The walks at either end
occupy too much space and are USE
less. Nothing looks better than
grass lawn, and nothing easier to
take care of. The borders of the
walks are protected by strips of plank
which will soon rot and furnish no
protection against the encroachment
of the Bermuda grass. But like
everything else that is being done by
the city, we are paying for our expert
