Mr. Parr, city marshal at

Spict. Miss Cozzens, the wo

was in Washington recently
looking after the posmastership
at St, Louis, .made some playful
allusion fo Grant's having come
very near appointing her to the
Chief Justices-hip, "which if he
had done, I would have had the
honor of swearing yon in Mr.
Hayes." "And in that case, my
dear Miss Cozzcns, I would have

Hayes has one redeeming
quality he is gallant..
A. AXD M. COLLEHK..
This institution of learning,
located at Bryan, although in
the early part of the first year ot
its existence,-already has in the
neighborhood ot two hundred
students. With a tew of these
we have the pleasure of a per
sonal acquaintance, and from
whatweinowof their integrity
and character, we are satisfied
they will avail themselves of all
the advantages to be derived
from a school of high grade, and
reflect credit on their Alma
Mater.
Mr. narry Raskin, Mr. Ab
bott and Mr. Shindler of Wal
ler, and Mr. Charley Smith, of
Grimes, are yonng men of fine
parts, and by their strict con
tinuity to discipline and stu
dious habits, will reflect credit
on the counties they represent.
But the aspiring sons of Texas
need scores of schools of high
grade, and it is a hopeful sign
that almost every town of any
considerable size in the State,
is taking step3 to establish
schools of high character.
The determination evinced by
our own people, and the liberal
spirit they have displayed in
subscription for- the erection of
suitable buildings, is above all
praise, and we allude to it now,
only to encourage others to
emulato their example. Wheu
tliis school is established on a
permanent basis, and it speedily
will be, the whole community
will soon be able to see the
promised fruits, though it may
be some time before these beau
tiful fruits ripen. Nor will the
advantages to bo derived from
it, be confined to our own com
munity. The example will not
be lost on others. They, seeing
the results of the good works
inaugurated by the patriotic
people of Brenham, will make
haste to imitate their conduct.
Onr young men well see that
there is more pleasure to be de
rived lroni a kuowledge ot his
tory, poetry and sciences, than
from a mustang race. A. high
standard of morals can be much
more easily attained and prac
ticed by an educated than by an
illiterate class.
A Britisli statesman once
gave utterance to a great truth,

If there is any truth in the
telegrams to found in to-d ly's
Banner, it seems that Mr. Til
den will, in all probability, try
the virtues of the ancient wrif, so
often employed beneficially and
effectually in behalf of those
who have, under seeming color
of law, been deprived of their
franchises.
In this connection it is worthy
oTnoticej that indubitable evi
dence can be furnished from Re
publican sources, showing that
the eigh: electoral votes of Louis
iana, properly belonged to Til
den. This, however, is not news
to the Democracy.
If Mr. Tilden invokes the aid
of this great writ, it is likely
there will be a new cast of Mr.
Hayes's cabinet, and that Mr Ev
arts may find congenial employ
ment, as Attorney General, de
fending the interests ot his chief
and patron, in the highest judi
cial tribunal in the land. If
the suit progresses, as there is
no .ery strong reason to doubt
but that it will, there will be a
different rule ot evidence adopt
ed by the court, from that
which was adopted by tho "high
jint," violating as it did, every
principle of the rules of evidence,
and 'shocking the ideas of the
merest tyro in the law.
TnE St. Louis GUhe-Demo

Wade Hampton has demeaned
himself with so much wisdom
and moderation in the cnibro

that the seal of true greatness
is imperiihably stamped upon

MTERAnr SOCIETT.
Wo had the pleasure of at
tending the " regular weekly
meeting ot this club, last Tnes
clay evening, in the capacious
parlor of the Central Hotel.
To say nothing of the enjoy
ment realized at their meetings,
it would be impossible to attend
the reunions cf this club, com
posed as it is of gentlemen and
ladies of the purest culture, and
the highest literary attainments,
without deriving benefits that
are solid, mid experiencing pleas
ures that are refreshing.
There is rothiug extravagant
in this assertion, when it is re
membered that the association
embraces in its membership,
lawyers, statesmen, bankers and
merchants, men whose names
are not hemmed in by the cir
cumscribed limits of State lines.
Before our foot pressed the gen
erous soil of Texas, we heard
one of the most eminent law
yers in a neighboring State as
sert that "Saylcs' Pleadings is
the best and most comprehen
sive treatise ever compiled on
that complex and intricate
branch of the law.
Gen. Saylcs was the first to
read, nis selection was a po
em, halt harmonious, half seri
ous, en the subject of the ten
der passion. It is employing
words of supererogation, to
say thai his rendition of the
piece was excellent.
The other parties who read,
in the order of their names,
were Mrs. Ben. Bassett, Hon.
Seth Shcpard, Miss Nona Ew
ing, and Bates McFarland, Esq.
Miss Ewing read a beautiful
poem, the theme being to cover
our fallen heroes with flowers.
It is a beautiful conception, and
was beautifully rendered by the
fair reader, who, it was plainly
to be perceived, fully sympa
thized with the patriotic, and
heart touching sentiments ot
the author.
The interludes between the
readings were filled up with
music and conversation; the
ivory keys being touched by
fingers skilled in the art, and ac
companied by cultivated voices,
the musH was delightful. The
conversation, too, must have
been animating, if one may
judge from the beaming coun
tenances of many of those en
gaged in the colloquial feast.
Eon mots and good(natured re
partees, no doubt flew fast but
not furious.
In Snnday's Banner, we will
give tho names of the officers
for the present, and tlus pro
gramme for the next re-nnion,
which tikes place regularly, ev
ery Tuesday night.
Itlilslsy Drinking.
The Austin Statesman charg
ed Dan McGary with befriend
ing whisky drinkers and, said
nobody knew better than him
how whisky had pointed legisla
tion in this State. McGary. in
stead of pleading guilty to the
soft impeachment, makes an
swer in the Galvestonian as fol
lows: The meanest of tho mean leg
islatures that ever assembled at
Austin, was the first born ot
Radical rccr nstruction. And
the patron saints of that very
dishonorable body were Morgan
C. Hamilton and Lieutenant
Governor Wainright Flanagan,
both ot whom were elected to
the United States Senate, and
neither of whom were whisky
drinkers.
Hamilton is a dry, crusty,
narrow-minded, sordid, selfish
old bachelor. He is as cold as a
toad, and as full of malice as a
snake. In the chambers of his
heart no sentiment of love ever
found lodging and his heart nev
er throbbed with a generous im
pu's;. Flanagan is a drivelling, sniv
eling, cunning, canting old hyp
ocrite. He used his religion-as
a cloak for traud, and 'preys"
upon those he prays for. He
robbed his neighbors in Breck
enridgc county, Kentucky, and
came to Texas a fugitive from
jnstice.
We do not regard a whisky
toddy or a glass of beer as tho
sum of all villainies. Flanagan
and Hamilton will serve to show
that in the calendar of crime
there arc some compared with
which mere whisky drinking is
an angelic virtuo.
The Dallas Jfeivld, under its
present management, is an hon
or to Texas journalism. Bar
tow's strictures npon the "trad
ing proclivities" of Southern
Congressmen should be heartily
endorsed by every good democrat.

A "heavy rain fell here on "the

the fanners.
The grasshoppers are iu myr

The two literary societies,
the Erosophion and Pliilunia
thian, have their champion, or
challenge debate on Saturday
evening 7th inst. The question
for debate is, "Have civilized
nations the right to seize lands
occupied and held by the sav
age ?" Mr. John T. Duncan,
is champion of the former, and
Mr. "Louis R. Bryan, champion
for the latter. The Erosophions
have the affirmative and Philo
mathians the negative.
The yonng men and ladies of
the schools had a gallant day on
Monday.
Sunday being the 1st of April,
tho "sells were postponed until
Monday by the schools. Some
students vacated the premises
and others did not Dr. Royall
having given the young ladies
halt the dav, thev "formed a
lino of March" and charged
down upon us poor timid crea
tnres with such vengeance glar
ing from their eyes, swollen
with rage, that we would not
breast the 6torm. But fortu
nately onr brave and noble
Captain, L. R. B., with courage
worthy of the lion, rallied his
forces though it was with great
difficulty that the rented and
scattered few could be induced
to-face the enemy before them.
To onr great delight the enemy
had beat a hasty retreat by "the
time we were again ready for
battle. Pursuit was inevitable.
Wo hope the kind reader will
not think us vain, but we could
not help from thinking that it
was a "nice bait" to spend the
evening pleasantly together, but
as it was "anlsphuels da"
we marched within twefity
paces of the enemy, drew in line
of battle, and after a most elo
quent appeal from our noble
Captain, rccountering the valor
of Texaii3 in the hour ot danger
and battle, the heroes of San
Jacinto ordered a retreat. We
leave the reader to judge who
were "phooled," we, or they.
Nevertheless we bore off the
"colors." The very idea of
"April fool" to some of the stu
dents strikes them with awe.
At seemed the yonng ladies
"went back on them" rather

Fricuds of Temperance.
The Council of this order in
Brenham is in a flourishing
condition, embracing in its
membership some of the most
intelligent gentlemen and ladies
in the city aud surrounding
country. The organization
numbers alxjut two hundred
active efficient members. They
do not propose to spring the
local option question, which has
been the source ot so much dis
cord among the people in other
counties. They are thus far
taking what seems to ns a wiser
course. "They are letting4heir
lights shine," and pleasant and
attractive are the rays emitted
from the well trimmed lamps of
sobriety, self respect, and all the
concomitant virtues.

drawing a small sized bnll-dozer.
Policeman Johnson took Trigg
in and conducted him to the
Mayor's office, where Trigg
drew his pistol and fired at
Johnson, then fled. He was af
terwards re-arrested by Johnson
and locked up in the calaboose,
where he remained nntil Tues

raigned before a justice on a
