The Waco Examiner says it
doesnot propose to le the
special champion ti Mr. Lang
or anyuther man a guberna
torial -candidate. While tally
rccopmiziti'r the fitness of that
jrentleinan lor the position, it
prctirs to t await expref sions
from the -people, 'who are quite
competent to jndg.3 for them
selves in such matter.
The Bann-fr fully agrees with
the Examiner in the views ex
pressed, and sees no reason at
this time for making slater.
There arc at least halt a dozen
gentlemen whose uames have
been prominently mentioned in
connection with the governor
ship.... Wehnve no ax to grind
nd no speci.il favorite to urge,
neither have wo any sectional
feeling or yrule to gratify. It
matters not in whatjpirt of the
State the next governor may
have his local habitation When
elected, he becomes"! goverimr ox
the whole 'State of Texas;!ind
should haxe Jib loc.il 18 vorites
to reward. Ili clSticS', being
purely executive, he should
chow no favoritism towards any
p irticular section of the State,
but treat all alike:
rOPE.PlTJS IX.
The 1'ope died on the 7th
Inst at 4.57 r. n. His last
words were: "Guard the chur;Ii
I loved so well and sacredly."
The conclave commenced at
once.- Cardinal Simeoui lists
demanded troops, and the gov
ernment has acceeded to his
request. .
We condense tho following
from an obituary in the Gal
veston ,2Fews: Pins IX, Gio
vanni Maria Murtel Ferriti.
whuso death is jut annonnced,
6erved fifty-eight years in the
church and thirty-one in the
papacy, exceeding the ponti
fica'ney pt St. Peter eix years.
IIe,was born in Siiiigaglia, in
4 he states ot the chnreh, May
13, 1792, and va, consequent
ly, "S5 years ot age.-'" Ilia lather
was Count" Solazzie, one of the
oldest" 'noble families ot the-
papal stites. In 1808 he went
to Rome to piiriie.Ji;s,ecctesi
astic.il studies. During the oc
cupation of Rome by Napoleon
lie returned to lbis birthplace,
and remained till lSli. lie
was' ordained "a "prieptftn 1S19.
Ic 1823 he was sent to Chili.
In 1825 he returned io Jtouie.
In 1827 he was appoiuted
Bishop of Spoleto, nnd proceed
ed at once to his, diocese. In
1839 he whs created a cardinal.
On the death ol Pope Gregory
XVI, the conclave chose him
pope Juno- 15, 1846, after a
fchort session ot forty-eight
bonrs. A rare and wondeitnl
man was Pins IX. By his lib
eral views and reformatory
incusnres he did more, perhaps,
to accelerate tho decline ol the
temporal -.power of the papacy
than any of his two hundred
and 'fifty-six predecessors. At
the tiincof his death he was the
spiritual father of 253,000,00
devoted Catholics.

claims of J. W. Throckmorton
for the next nomination for

is donbtless very consoling for

however, will convince litem

celebrated in eicry dime novel

down in the neighborhood of

Perhaps it wonld be an item
of interest to your many readers
to sav a few words in reference

to be a myth. Tt 13 a fact that
Wallace is a resident ot Medina

Wallace, for such is his name,

and settled on the Medina river,
twenty miles Southwest of San
Antonio, where he established a
rancho; but foou that country
was settled up and he moved
farther west, where he 'now re
