An uliHiirtl story Ut thecltect that the president's persistent silenco on the subject of third term isdue to a threat ening letter received by him two years Ago this summer, in which ho was of fered his choice between ilisvowul uud death, is going tho rounds of the ad ministration organs. It transpires that Joseph 8hannon having died on May fith, his will, by which the residue of his estate Is be queathed to tho lloman Catholic or phan asylum and to St. Joseph's lloman Catholic church, is inoperutive, it hav iug been made within thirty duya of . tho testator's death. Tub San Domingo and Sandwich projects having both failed, General Oraut, believing doubtless in tho luck of odd numbers, is engaged iu a third , attempt to add territory to that already piwMv&ed by the United Stutes, the Houiojia inluiiii pud her naked sav ages being now tha coveted prize. WHiiiKin Memphis Vice President .'

Wixr uud Major Wil liam M. Walton, both of Austin, have been called upon by citizens of that city to allow tho uso of their names In the district convention us candidates for the constitutional convention. West consents, but Major Wultoii de clines. We agree with the Statesman iu (lie remark that "there is not a bet ter man iu tho stale for the convention than Major Walton, and tho pooplo of the whole state will regret ills course in this important matter." TllH Philadelphia Prims, from ills patches received from dillorent parts of the state, concludes that tho Peuu- svlvanla wheat crop alone will fall short nearly ten million bushels of the averago yield. Low xorK l ost Texas will supply the deficiency. Our people will raise not only sulllciont grain this year to meet their own wants, but sulliclent for all new com ers. Tub 11kiiai.1i would suggest to tho farmers of Pennsylvania and the western and northwestern stutes to come to Texas and try their skill lu wheat raising. Tub citizens of tho town of Co manche, ou the 18th Instant, met to. gether for the purpose of devising some method by which to lessen tho heavy burden of taxation now being imposed upon them by the city authorities, and to inaugurate, if possible, a more eco- nomicul system of municipal govern' uieiit. Resolutions were adopted call lug for u muss meeting of the citizens to lie held on the -2d, and a committee unpointed to draft suitablo resolutions. A meeting of that kind might possibly not be out of place lu Dallas. What think tho citizens? ' Tun city of Boston, is about to fore close its mortgage on Chicago, us is evidenced by the Chicago Inter-Occnu of the -1st, wliich published the delin quent list that day in tho largest dully paper ever issued. It covers IS full sTieets, l it pages and MM columns. Tho manuscript copy of the tux list which the paper .contains weighed 215 lbs., and occupied 1:1,370 pages.

Kannon, of Fort Bridger, the noted scout, guide and Indian iu- ternreter, is at. the Southern. Jle Jius led an eventful life, and his udvyntures would Mil n bulky volume. At the at tack on tho Alamo, where Crocket was killed, he was captured at seven years ol age by the Coniunehes, ami re mained in captivity until giowu up. St. Louis Republican. Sometime since TllK IIhuai.p cor rected the llepublicuu in this mutter. There were no Comnuches or other wild Indians ut the full of the Alamo. There was no one captured there ox- cepUiigMrs. Dickinson, her infant, and (lie negro man servant of Colonel Travis. The story of Kannon is not only Improbable on its face, but abso lutely untrue iu fuet. Such bosh should have no currency. Ex-SuNATon James H. Nye, of Ne vada, is now at tiie Bloomingdale, (New York) lunatic asylum. It Is said bis insanity is the result of polllicul and linniiciul reverses. President Lin coln nppoiulcil him territorial gover nor of Nevada in 18114, and when Ne vada became a state, he was elected to the United Slates senate in which he served seven yeura. A London dispatch slates that the German umhnssador at Brussels hud been instructed to request the Belgian government to prohibit religious pro cessions. If tills is true, it Is the bold est step Bismurck has yet taken in the way of interference with the ufTuirs of Belgium, uml it nppcars in the light of a direct challenge to England, Austria, Franco and Itussiu, who signed the treaty of April l'J, 1K3!I, witli Prussia, guaranteeing the Independence and neutrality of Belgium. Tub recent murderous attempt on the life of young Ubenchiiln is another example of the pernicious eflucts of not strictly enforcing the law uguinst the carrying of deadly weapons. The evil is great, uud prompt and ellective meas ures must be adopted to suppress it. It is a disgrace to our civilization and a positive drawback to our progress and prosperity, as it is hardly to be pre sumed that peaceublo and law-abiding men desire to locate iu a community where their lives are at the mercy of every drunken rufllun who thirsts for blood at a trilling or Imaginary insult. The law must be enforced, and protee lion and safety guaranteed the citizen against the assaults of these ruiliaus. They are a blight upon the fuir name of our city, uud tho authorities owe it to themselves and to the community to see thai mow nuirins are laugtil u lesson that will be an example to them in the future, and a guarantee to law abiding citizens that life and property shall lie protected. Hkv. Jambs Youmib, of Sherman, reached this city on Monday night from Nashville, Teuucssee, where he hod been in attendance on the annus! session of the supreme council of the United Friends of Temperance of the United SUites.

The following extract from the Slales muii, Is so full of truth, and wiiludso ably expresses the vlewsund feelings of TllK llBHAI.U on the 'Ill.Jecl, that it is transferred to our cobi.iiiis without fur ther comiueii'.. : Wo have seen ttuplil fellows led about by tho nose and imitli- very no surd In till) eyes of the public l,y their linger excited by u riliclm, which, If unjust, was. harmless; if Just, sUould lead to reform. But the silliest eon duet of v ignorance Is discovered when it tukooU'eiise uml is enraged because It is ridiculed or condemned, justly or unjustly, uud to avenge the outrage, withdraws "patronage." What signi fies It? Who cares? If an article lie llerco and just enough to "strike oil" in tho direction of folly, II also strikes it ut the same instant In the direction of wisdom and virtue nod intelligence. Moreover, the educated uud intelligent will ulwnys rend und pay for a news paper, and the press owes nothing of money to ignorance and vice. Fools' threats allectiug what lliey cull "pat ronage" are only ninusiiig to u modern journalist. II Is is only the feeble news paper, us feeble iu expression und in telligence as in supplies of public con fidence, tliut listens when "patronage" is menaced. We have lived beyond the point as, which wo needed "pat ronage." We now und then "patron ize" others, but sutler none to "patron ize" ourselves. To our patronizing care and Influence Hon. John Ireland owes his prominence before the people of Texas, und if he ever blow und blos som beautifully in vernal tenderness ami sweetness in the senate of Un united States, the fact will lie duo solely to the "patronage" extended him by the Statesman. The Statesman has grown steadily and surely in pub lic confidence, mid for tho reason that it is distinguished by distinguished "don't-carc-u-d li-utlvciiesti." it can neither be cajoled by power und olliee nor diverted from its chosen course by legislative condemnation. II. never bent the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning when ileost usn loss oi one hundred uud fifty dollars per diem to stand by the right and defy error, us illustrated in the tergiversations of the facile party leader, und felicitous orator, Mr.' Burzizu. Neither tho success nor failure to secure the public print ing bus ull'ccled, -in fact or in words, the policy of the Statesman, il is not lor sale. And if tho "patronage" ol the state, worth many thousands, with ull the prestige it may give, could not make the Statesman veer, either to the rurht or to tho lolt, and this Is as serted of us by every officer of the slate government, how alisurd becomes the conduct of the police force and of the mayor, who withdrew their "patron age" to avenge u just anil cert'iinly a legitimate criticism upon their public and olliciul nets. II (he Statesman wronged Ihcm iu olliee, the Statesman wmibl never hesitute to right the wrong. But the idiots do two stupid thiugs : instead of correcting any er ror into which we may huvo possibly fallen, they confess cither guiltiness by linger, or sublime folly by threatening to withdraw "patronage." The legis lature failed iu tills, and shall a wretched little local government, with its stipendiaries, as impotent as iucu pablo of ullectiiig public opin ion, undertake llie tusk of con trolling the newspaper by with holding "patronage ?" We don't ask "liutroniii'e." Wo give u quid pro ijiio for ull the money we gel, and Have ull we nceil lo man me niaies inan worthy of Austin, in its intelli- trenee, taste. In llio instincts anil pre judices ot the people. As Austin grows the Statesman will grow witn it, ami tue city and its . newspaper . will live and die together. But tho Statesiiiiiii will never live by "patronage." It would surely die, uud would not de serve Ut live if it accepted "patronage." It owes its existence w me intelligent people of the cilv and slate, uud asks nothing ut the hands of stupidity and hrnornuce. It couccals none of ils opinions, ami defies the rabble ami any parry lenoer wno inns into error, mm utile statesman pursued a less leaf less and honorable and Independent course it would not have ' the confi dence or approval of that intelligent class for which it exists, whose opin ions and proclivities und tastes ami in stincts it uccurntely represents.

A 1,1, lulled youth, spoiling the re markable patronymic of "Jones," took lodgings In the county jail here last week, under the charge of violating the person of a young lady, six miles from Denton. Jones Is said to lie nneii addicted lo six-shooters uud gave him self up to the weakness of ullempliiig to use one on Depiily SheriU' Green, when that ollleer proposed to arrest him, Jones says that it was mil the bullet he cang t through tho points of both his shoulder blades that got him, bill thai his saddle turned and emptied hlul into the arms of the law. The state of Texas is very mud at Jones. A llliiiil 'Nicer Is playing s line very fantastic tricks nt Pilot Point, In utter contempt of the pence and dignity of the state, uud to the astonishment of the district attor ney and the confusion of the grand ju ry. It is tliusly : Tliu las legislature enacted a law prohibiting the sole of Intoxicating liquors wilhiii a radius of live miles of Pilot Point institute, much to the discoml'UUire of that in teresting class of American freemen who adhere to the honored principle of Krce Traileiiitil Nailers mollis." On the, day the law took ellect, Old Bacchus got ou a "high" or, to drop tho figure, the Irieiuls ol .loliii JSarloy corn indulged in a farewell drunk Soon alter this, the blind tigar ulore- snid made ills appearance. Here is a ilesciinlion of him: A drawer runs into a wall of what, appears to Im a bil liard saloon, inn pull out llie iiruwcr, drop in your change, shove the drawer bai l;, call tor what you want mid then pull oul tho drawer again uud there it. Is, "NIimIkIiI"' or"NilkiMt," lu. 4 its you'd have it ! Nobody is heard or seen, und the blind liger, apparently without any keeper, works like charni. Tho grand jury tormented their llesh and befuddled their minds over him, but alas! the blind tiger was to tin 'in a stumbling block, and to llie district attorney foolishness. A Italn lias fallen lu Denton, and the prospect is good for more. Tho season was not what iiiiL'ht bedistli'iguishedusa "new ground soaker," but a pretty clover shower. Plenty lor tun wneat, which Is now mi accomplished fact. Corn looks verv fresh und happy. Oats seem encouraged, and a general broad green grin of joy is ou the l'uco of na ture. The hoppers have pretty well kicked out, and are doubtless victimizing the poor fanners of Kansas, etc. May the Lord have mercy on tliu people where those pests travel. A New Industry is about to lie started in our county by a company of enterprising youths, which is nothing more or less than a humeri " rtnit:n:. This enterprise is suggested iiy the immense, unsatisfied ami apparently insatiable demand for horned frogs by the heathen world, by which 1 mean all countries outsido of Texas. They propose to furnish frogs ready boxed and stamped, and fed for u journey of any distance, through the mails or otherwise, for five cents per capita.

The rauchu will be a unique establish ment. The company expect to have four bundled cow frogs ready for busi ness by the last of August proximo, uud by the opening of the spring mar ket of'lSTii, no less than five thousand calves will, It is promised, be ready mr the mails. 11 may not he amiss here to stale that the pressed or attenuated postal frog resumes his normal shape readily ou being soaked in tepid water hair un Hour.

The luw iu unmistakable language declares that any person found trespassing (m lands ceded to the Indians shall bo uppre huiuled und immediately conveyed from the indinu country by tho near est und sufest route to the civil author ities of Hie territory or judicial district hi wliich such person sluill bo found. In Evans' case, the doughty Captain Walker reversed the luw of congress to suit his owu inclination, made the ar rest fifty miles uwiiy from the Indian territory, in the suite of Nebraska, and undertook to force the train into the Indian territory, uml to a point two hundred and titty miles distant, to reach wliich he had to pass directly throuuh Indian country to Hie military fort to be adjudged by mil itary authorities. Evans refused to cross the river into Hie Indian coun try, and Captain Walker sent a mes senger after assistance to enforce his orders.

Whitney and Bath bun, of the secret service, recaptured them all again at Waco, Texas, in March, with $8,000 In counterfeit money, and printing imple ments. AccordliiK to law, llie detectives had no right to deliver the prisoners to the custody of Marshal Purnell, of that district, but fearing a second escape, otitniued from the attorney general or ders to take them from Purnell's cus tody. The latter refused to deliver them, and took, by use of force, Mo Cnrliiey's printing implements and plates Irom the detect ives. Two weeks alter Mi-Cartney escaped from Purnell, iu a maimer strongly auspicious of col lusion with the latter, but was recap tured by the detectives. The third time Purnell was again ordered to deliver Ihe prisoner to the detectives, who wanted to take him to St. Louis, but again be refused to give him up, be ing supported by District Attorney Evans, of Waoo.lind the United States judge, who claimed the privilege to try McCartney nrst, under an Indict ment founJ Uiere. The detectives re turned here, not hesitating to say that I'urnell bad been bribed by McCartney before, and would be sgalu, prophecy log that the latter would escnjne within a month, which hat proved to be the case. His wue has visited film just prior to his escape in each instance, which Is a suspicious circumstance in the opinion of the detectives.

Tliw is a movement iu the right direction, and, if carried out, will add more cei'tainty to the general prospects of the town limn almost anything elso that could be done. It Fort Worth will build up aud keep in succrssrul operation a good system or graded school, it will bring hun dred ot families here, with the view ol availing themselves of their education al privileges that otherwise would not come. There is no estimating the vul ue of good schools to a town, county or shite. Nothing has tended so much to keep hack the growth of Texas as the want of schools. Nothing will reudet Texas more desirable or nifti to its rap id and certain development than good schools. No state in the uuion lias such a liberal lauded endowment for common schools as Texas. There is no iiosslttle valid reason why we should not have an educational sygteni l oniiiiein-iii'iite wilh our terri torial gri'Uluoss and become able lo of fer to the outside world superior ad vantages In educational facilities as well as in agricultural and other indus tries. Our landed endowment for school nurnosee should be so managed as to yield an annual interest income suffi cient to educate every child of the state, present and prospective, in a style and decree of perfection une- qualcd bytany other slate iu this uu ion. The state can endow ten state nor mal schools witli one million acres of land eai h, and make Ihcm self-sustaining, aud then have left for common school purposes a bounty greater than any three other states. The people should think of these things. A great numberof strangers are now In the city prospecting for business lo calities. The hotels sreall doing a fair business, and generally "things" look better. We are ail led to believe that there is certainly a good time com hie, and the sonner it gets here the better we shall be pleased. j it the manseement or me i rxas ana Paeiiic railway could only look way down into the Inneratost re cesses of the hearts (of our people, and witness the constant pray erful emotions, expressive of both bop and (oar, touching priBpectaof I I,., 'ii f, !'-. lb r H f I, ,, -I , i l, I, II' 'II ill, til',' 1,1, ' , ( I'.e t . el II i v I I, e ll ,, ' ' I I'll, , If b,r iioiMimi ,' lb" VI e l H..I-, ','l ' ' ..I . 1 ' . , i , I, i on .,ii I r-i ,, r ir i 'I' ll 'I' I b' '!, I"l-' ' III li.,' f".
