Correspondence.]
From Lee County.
Lee County, Texas, Oct. 1, 1874.
Editor Examiner and Patron :
Deaii Sir ;—In replying to the Milam
Messenger and Salado News-Letter, you
say that you trust that he will not come
down, as the above referred to journals
advise" Ot course not, if we want cor-rupt
men in Congress, 1 say send the
most corrupt man in the District, and
that is John Hancock. The Hon. John is
using his salary grab and back pay steal
to a good advantage; be can curse
and damn the Texas press, and they will
lick the dust from his boots and call it
brains. The Fifth District is in rather a
bad condition, as the Examiner infers—
that lie is the only man in the District,
that has brains enough to go to Congress.
I think the Hon. John’s (God save the
mark) gold dazzled the eyes of the Ex-
AMiNEit, or he thinks the great toiling
masses, are only a set of asses; he certain-ly
does not recognize the fact, that the
people of Texas know John Hancock to
be a traitor to his country, and a betrayor
of the people who have done him honor.
Must have him. You may have him,
boots and ail, so far as the people of this
District are concerned. The honest
men of this District won’t touch him with
a forty foot pole. So take him and go,
but not to Congress. The Patrons of
this county will not vote for a man who
stands convicted of stealing the peoples’
money. We send men to Huntsville,
in this county, for taking other peoples’
money; but you say send them to Con-gress.
Well, let us be consistent, and
send those at Huntsville to Congress, and
Hancock and his crowd to Huntsville. I
think that the people would not be tlie
loser by the exchange.
They must have brain. I think a little
less brain and a little more principle
would bring things more on an equi-librium.
\Vc have been represented, or
rather misrepresented by. brain long
enough. Now, let us lie represented by
principle awhile. If that does no better,
then we can fall back on brains again. I
am rejoiced to know that there are a few
journals that will not bow at the feet of
John Hancock, and eat dirt. I will send
for the Salado News Letter as soon as
an opportunity oilers. I was on the eve
of getting up a c.ub for the Examiner,
but the people do not want a paper that
fosters the worst demagogue and monopo-list
in tlie State, so I expect it will fall
through. Your Hon. John was nomi-nated
by the corrupt money rings and
monopolies of the District. The conven-tion
was stocked, but the people will
unpack it at the November election.
What did Hancock do in Congress that
the Examiner is so anxious for his elec
tion? He voted the people’s money into
his pocket, joined in with a ring of the
most corrupt political thieves the world
ever saw, voted twenty-five thousand
dollars of the people’s money into the
groaning cotters of the great American
usurper, comes home and glories in it,
and tells the people that they must send
him back again. Why did lie not use
that big brain in trying to do something
to relieve poor, down-trodden Louisiana?
He did nothing of the kind. If he gets
back to Washington, he will do something
for John Hancock, but nothing for the
honest men of Texas.
If, then, no better man than Hancock
comes out, (which I think there will) we
will nominate a man that we can vote for,
though most of the newspapers are like
Hon. John, they want the people to vote
as they say; they must not think for
themselves at all, and if the press wishes
to join in with corrupt politicians, let it
go, the people can do without the press
about as well as the press can do without
them, The couutry needs a pure, incor-ruptible
press to assist them in hunting
scoundrels from positions of honor; but,
the majority of the press, m the present
decade, seems to coincide with the cor-ruptionist
in preference to sustaining
troth and principle.
Such, Sir, are the sentiments of an
honest man and a devout Patron.
Respectfully, W. C. Love,
Master Salem Grange.
A LA DA MA A FFAIRS—DENIAL.
^ Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 3.—The State
Executive Committee of the Democratic
and Conservative paity of Alabama issue
au address to the people of the United
States, denying the truth of the charges
made by Senator Spencer and Congress-men
White, Hays and Pelham, and J. J.
Martin, as to outrages in this State; and
submit proofs conclusively showing the
untruth of these charges; and that they
were made for the purpose of influencing
the elections in the North and West, and
to procure Federal troops to be sent to
Control the election in Alabama; that the
rations donated by Congrass for the suf-ferers
in the overflowed districts are be-ing
used as a corruption fund of Alabama,
for the purpose of controlling the elec-tion
.by .the Republican party, and sub-milting
proof showing the corrupt char-acter
and lawlessness of the leaders of
that party in Alabama.
Inasmuch as rumor was current here
two days, that the Republican caucus in
this city had resolved to have nine
men in Sumpter arrested, it is the gener-al
opinion that the arrests were for polit-ical
effect. Sumpter county is one hun-died
miles west of this place. The pris-oners
are to be taken to Mobile, Monday.
Deputy United States Marshals Randolph
and Wellford reached this city this after-noon,
with four prisoners, white men,
hand-cuffed and chained together. They
were arrested in Lumpter county on the
charge of killing W. P. Billings, on the
first of August, last.

NO NOMINATIONS TO CONGRESS.
Pursuant to a call of the chairman,
Abarham W. King, a well attended meet-ing
was held here to-day.
Senator John S. Mills was, by acclama-tion,
elected delegate to the Chattanooga
Convention.
The Hon. C. D. Ilarn was elected
chairman of the County Executive Com*
mittce and Jas. II. Teague secretary*
A resolution w'as passed endorsing and
approving of the resolutions passed by
the tax-payers precinct meetings, and
asking that all dishonest officials in this
county may be hunted down and prose-cuted.
(V resolution was passed disapproving
the appointment of Dr. Rignon Quincy
us postmaster at Navasota, Texas.
Through the influence of J. W. Barnes
and Flanagan & Co., it was resolved fur-tiler,
that the authorities at Washington
he notified that said appointment was
bought for money, and that said appoint-ment
is obnoxious to the Republican
masses of Grimes county, and especially
Navasota.
Resolved, That this meeting tender the
so-called Representative J. T. Smith, of
Grimes county, their thanks for going
hack on the Democratic pet measure, the
Landlord and Tenant bill, for said vote.
Great enthusiasm prevailed, everything
passing off quietly.
No nomination for Congress was made.

Max Adeler, in his Ilurlv Burly book,
dissents from thejnfallible Richard Grant
White’s dictum respecting the substitu-tion
of “being” for “is being,” and “do
ing” for “is doing.” He don’t like the
innovation. Ho says; “Suppose you wish
to express the idea that our boy, ‘Aga-memnon
is spanking.’ The difference
may seem slight to you, hut it would be a
matter of considerable importance to
Agamemnon; and if a choice should be
given him, it is probable that he would
suddenly select the latter form.”

A correspondent of the London Field
objects to the present mania for highly
bred shorthorn cattle, kept and bred by
millionaires to sell each other at fancy
prices. “Pure” cattle, he says, are all
?cry well for the few who cau afford to
run the long-continued risks which the
pure breeder involves; and for the fewer
still who know how to turn to best ac-count
such cattle when they have got
them.

’I lie Ncxvs on tlie Situation 111 Souflt
Carolina.
The telegraph intimates the probability
of a popular uprising in Charleston, South
Carolina, similar to that which lately oe-curred
in New Orleans. Should it occur,
the South Carolina case would lack one
feature to make it a companion picture to
the Louisiana case. There are not two con-testing
State governments in the former
State. But the administration of Moses
is universally conceded to be even more
corrupt, rapacious and infamous than
either the Kellogg or Warmoth adminis-trations.
Moses failed to be nominated
for re-election, but aspires to the leader*
ship of the next Legislature. The mass
meeting which has demanded the remov-al
of the President of tlie Election Com-missioners,
embraced both the Republi-can
and Conservative opposition to Cham-bcrlin,
the regular Republican nominee)
but its chief object, perhaps, was to force
a reorganization of the Election Board in
furtherance of an impiovement in the
next Legislature.

Items from JPolk County.
Polk Co., Tex., Sept. 30, 1874.
Editors Nows:
Polk county has raised a splendid crop
of com. Large yield of rust-proof oats;
common oats a failure. A three-fourths
crop of cotton has been made. Rice
looks fine, and enough has been raised to
supply the county. Cane, potatoes, etc.,
are very promising. Everybody is buoy-ant.
Some emigration is coming in, and
much more is anticipated.
Rape is a fashionable offense with
the Africs—three of the government’s
pets are in jail, so charged; one of them
from Hardin county.
The scholastic census just taken shows,
whites, 1,059* Indians, 56; negroes,723—
total, 1,837. This shows an increase in
whites and a decrease in negroes.
Quiz.
Henrietta Bowers, a child thirteen
years old, is a prisoner in the West Clies-ter,
Pa., jail, on a charge of attempting
to poison the family of Benjamin J. Mil-ler,
of New Garden township. Miller,
his wife and two other persons became
very sick shortly after dinner, on the 27th
ult., and the physician who attended
them, pronounced it a case of poisoning;
The girl Bowers, on being questioned,
confessed that she had mixed arsenic with
the food, from a package she had found
in tlie house. Fortunately, she used* too
much of the mineral, or the result might
have been fatal. No cause is assigned for
the extraordinary conduct of the child.
Lee Howard, of Charleston, S. C., won
