A friend of ours in this place
says: “Little things sometimes
make large diversions. The rise
in the price of lumber, at Rock-dale,
has caused the bulk ol cotton,
raised in this section, to seek a
mart a Austin.”— Salado News
Letter.
We are glad to record the fact,
and we have high hopes of Hill
in consequence—that there will
be abeut three times as much
whe.at planted in this county this
year as was planted last year.—
Hill County Record.
Mrs. Pidcoke, found guilty of
poisontDg her husdand in Hood
county, has appealed. — Waco
Advance.
If the. Advance would restrict
itself to definite knowledge it
would entitle itself to more ere-dence
when it did spoak. The
above case has not even been
tried, and will not wntil Novem-ber.—
Gatesville Sun.
The item in the Advance was
clipped Irorn some paper printed
above Waco, but by accident not
credited. The Advance depends
upon those papers for such news.
Another paragrrph about the sen-tence
of Mrs. Pidcoke has appear-ed
in this paper credited to the
Cleburne Chronicle. We have
since learned that the information
is incorrect.
A cotton compress in Austin is
said to be a fixed fact.
“H. V. R.,” the republican cor-respondent
of the Cincinnati
Commercial, a republican news-paper,
a shrewd, sharp, observing
man, is here writing up Alabama
affairs. After spending some-time
in North Alaboma, he writes
to that paper as follows : “The
white republicans of North Ala-bama
are sadly demoralized.
Thousands of them will vote the
straight democratic ticket, while
other thousands will refrain from
voting at all. On the other handj
the white democratic vote will
come to the polls in a solid col-limn.
The civil rights issue will
bring them out as no other issue
ever has. To my mind there is
no doubt whtever but that the
democrats will carry the State.”-
Ex.
Before the elections the Gov-evnors
of the United States,
stood 22 republicans and 15 dem-ocrats.
Arkansas has sinco made
it 21 republicans and 16 demo-erats.
Alabama will soon make
her change and it will then stand
20 to 17. IfNew York does her
share in the good work, Tilden
will make the figures 19 to 18. If
the next Congress is not utterly
lost to all decency, McEnery will
be given the place to which he
was elected by the people of Lou-isiana,
and then the scales will
go up with tho radicals, putting
the ratio, 18 republicans to 19
democrats. The chances are fair
for the realization ot these fig-
At Pulaski, Tennessee, Henry
Atkinson, colored, stabbed and in-stantJy
killed Lucius D. Sultlo,
white, aged 38 years. The diffi-cult}’
originated about a suit now
pending in court relative to a
corn and cotton crop. Atkinson
was arrested. But we hear not of
the concurrent jurisdiction of the
United States in bringing him to
trial. Why is Attorney General
Williams silent?

Midnight Dispatches.
New ORleans. Oct. 18.—There will
probably be a meeting of the Confer-ence
Committee to-morrow, the con-servatives
having to-day sent a note to
the republicans inviting a conference.
The twenty days allowed for .creating
vacancies on the returning board ex-pired
to-day. The conservatives are
ready with their men to fill the two
vacancies that are promised. Govern-or
Kellogg lias not as yet been able to
obtain the required resignations, but
four members of the returning board
have agreed to resign, provided Wells
will resign. Wells is absent. The date
of his return is uncertain.
Later.
I.ongstreet, Casenove, ;K‘‘nner and
Anderson lour members of the return-iag
board have, it Is understood de-dared
to Governor Kellogg their wil-lingbess
to resign if J. Madson Wells,
president ot the hoard, will hand in his
resignation. Wells has been telegraph-ed
to by Kellogg.
This action if adhered to, willjenable
the Governor to carry out the confer-ehce
agreement regarding the return
ing board, giving the 'conservatives

Clinton, La., Oct. 18.—A feud be-tiveen
tho Breaux Weber and Gain re-publican
factions culminated to-day in
an attempt between Bayou Sarah and
Jackson, La., to assassinate John Gam
independent republican candidate for
Senate, by parties unknown.
Gain was wounded but not danger-ously.

London, Oct. 19.—The Fiji Islands

Paris, Oct. 19.—Full returns of (he
election yester day for vacancy in the

leads the polls at Pos de Ealais
but there (.being no majority, a new

New Orleans, Oct. 19.—A dispatch
from Jackson Lai, says : At a mass
meeting of the colored people helu at
this place on the 17th and called at the
instigation of Werser. Breaux and Law
a riot took place about 5 o’clock be-tween
the Breaux and Gay men in i
which four colored men were shot—|
three probably fatally. In the morn- [
ing the Hon. John Gay was waylaid i
and shot, as rumor says, to prevent]
him from speaking to the meeting, i
Some of the Breaux orators assailed]
Mr Gay. Hence the riot. Tlie colored j
people in squads of ten and twelve are
patrolling (he streets on horseback
with guns. The U. S. Supervisor
Gapt. F. H. Jinks has been consulted
and it is probable lie will call U. S.
troops. Great excitement - prevails,
Weber and Breaux have just arrived
from Bayou Sara and brought Win-
Chester rifles to furnish the rioters.
New York, Oct. 19.—The Herald’s
Washington special says: The Ger-man
government lias positively dis-claimed
the intention of purchasing a.
naval station in Costa Rica, with the j
assurance that the German government;
not only respects the Monroe doctrine
but most cordially approves it- And ;
like the United States, whose ships of
war traverse every sea, Germany has ]
no heed of naval stations in distant
countries.
The Herald’s New Orleans special
says; that in an interview with the
conservative leaders, including General
Ogden, Commander of the White
League, all agreed that there would be
no further bloodshed in the city.
They believe many negroes will ab-sent
themselves from the polls on elec-tion
day and that the State will go
democratic by six or eight thousand
majority. No trouble is anticipated
by them except in the .parishes about
Sllerveport, Monroe, and Baton Rouge
Some republicans concede that the State
will go democratic.
The World’s Special lrom^Tuscaloo-sa,

Matters have been so far advanced now at
the last Gift concert of the Public Library
that Gov. Bramlette is enabled to state posi*
lively, and unmistakably, that the final
drawing will takh place on the 30th day of
next November. Therefore those who wish
to participate in the greatest gift concert
ever offered to the public, in this or t»ny
other country, should make immediate ar-rangement
to be ready for the great drawing.
Any delay now will Imperil the ticket-hold-er,
for, whatever may bo said by outsiders,
we; cun assure our readers that we know
whereof we speak when we say advisedly that
the drawing will come off on the day indica-ted.
For tickets apply at Ragland’s jewelry

E. C. Billings, who may be re-membered
as having written
“dear Kellogg” that Chandler was
doing service secood only to At-torney
General Williams, has
been again unearthed.
In one of his last letters dated
Willard’s Hotel, Washmton, Dee.
3,1873, he says!
Dear Governor!—I arrived
here duly on Monday morning at
6, having been detained at Harris-burg
for twelve hours, that tune
however, I Improved with Wayne
MacVeagh, my old friend and
classmate. I had written to him
and he has taken, and does take
a great interest in the Louisiana
case, and done much to get Cam-eron
who is his father-in-law, to
take such a decided stand for us.
This letter having lately come
to the eye of MacVeagh among
the recent publications, he ap-pears
in print as follows:
I suppose, Mr. Billings con-founded,
perhaps not unnaturally
my personal in him as a friend
and class-mate at Yale with his
professional interest in the cause
of his clients in Louisiana; for ev-erybody
who knows anything of
my views on the latter subject, but
especially Gen- Cameron, with
whom I had standing difference
of opinion about it, knows I was
wholly unable, after an examinn-tion
ol the facts, to see that Judge
Duroll’s order, had any validity,
or that Pres dent Grant was jus-tified
in-installing and upholding
the Kellogg Government.
Attorney General Williams is
making a first class “outrage” out
of the Montague affair. From
the elections it seems that tho
“outrage” business did not take.
The Address of the Uuion Re-publican
Congressional Commit-tee
says that under “Democratic
statesmanship,” “our intercourse
with powers weaker than our-selves
was spirited enough. We
bullied Austria out of a Hunga-rian
refugee. We despoiled Mex-ico
ot a portion of her territory,
&e.;” the moral . of which is to
show that “our foreign policy
was as ignoble as our homo poli-cy
was shameless.” Of course
such ■ slanders upon America in
the Lands of the democrats are
apparent to those who know
what the democratic parties did
for the country. But granting it
all for argument,does it not seem
that under radical rule that crip-pled
Spain bullies America an
(that Mexico is about to take back
j a .part of Texas ?
