The" duty ot designating the
timo and place for holding the
Congressional convention for
this dktriet is devolved, we be
lieve, upon Col. Tom Jack, ot
Galveston. As to tlia tiiae, we
have- m sigestion to make,
tmther than to-say tliat the cirl
should be at s early day, and
ample allowauee be madu &r
the uctfoii ot local and county
meetings. As to the place, it
occurs- to. us that Breuhnm is
the best jdace that can be se
lected It is centrally situated,
easy- ot access Iroru all parts of
the- district: hai, in its Opera
House, -a magnifirjiw and c.i
pneiona hall; and, its. hotel ac
commodations arc superior to
any place in the State, itb the
single exception of Galveston.
Relegates, who were in atten
dance at the convention in
Brviiliam three yeare ago, car
ried away willt them pleasant
memories ot tbe- place. They
bear in mind, tho.libcralitj- with
which the Democracy of this
place did the honors, and will

Charles O'Conner, one of the
most eminent lawjers iu the
United State3,5s quoted as having
said that no guilty person should
ever plead guilty, becauti Tie
lias as many chance's be .ore a
jnry as a perfectly innocor.it per
son. The jury system has been
the Eubject of ndicula by law
yers and others. It& working
has not in every instauce proved
satisfactory. At the, last term
ot the Washington couwty Dis
trict Court, two negrries were
indicted jointly, for the murder
of another negro. T'tey asked
a spverauce, which was granted
by the court. One oi them was
tried and given fj ve years in the
penitentiary; tb'j other one only
got two years. J)oth cases, ot
course, tried by jury, It was
tho popular oi iiidon at the time
that the sen fences should have
been revere -d. The instance is
merely cite d to show the uncer
tainty attending the veidia ot
a jury. Ha 'other cases, through
stocked ami dishonest juries no
tonons, criminals have escaped.
In tle 'irial of the notorious
Rando aso, at Galesbnrg, Illi
nois), a week'or two ago, it is
boVdly chargod by tbe press that
tlm defendant's attorney? sue
cjpd'ed in getting three "crook-
edJ' men on tlie iury. Instead
of a capital conviction a verdict
ot a life sentence in the peni
tentiary was the result. ,11 ow
hc evil is to be corretted tho
law makers must determine.
The jury system has been so
long iu vogue and is sncli a
time Lonorcd institution, that
the people will never nbaridon
it withont serious mbgiviugg.
Pauses and Hodgea are. both
indicted for killing Rush Ran
dle. Thoy are charged with
murder, and their trial begins to
morrow morning. Major R. JH.
Bassett and Hon. Seth Shcp
pard, ot this city, are both em
ployed to assist in conducting
the prosecution, and are now at
Bryan for that purpose.
The Austin Capital calls Col.
George Flonrnoy, the "Eilver
tongucd" orator of Galveston.
George may have a silver
tongue, but, that metal is one
that does- uot much encum
ber his pockets with. And just
here, by tho way, if tho Austin
Gazette and Dallas Herald can
not settle question iu any other
way to their entire satisfaction
as to vv ho shall be the next Gov
ernor, what do they say to a
compromise on Flonrnoy?
fcr the way of indemnity,
Russia demands 110,000,000 of
roubles, to be covered by a ces
sion of several valuable Turkish
provinces; and $300,000,000 in
bonds, the interest and ginkiilg
fnnd of which, to bo secured by
a lien on the tributu that Egypt
and Bulgaria pay to Turkey.
And, then, she demands that
Turkey pay 10,000,000 roubles
to Rtissiau residents of Con
stantinnole for war spoliations
suffered by them at tho hands of
the Turks.
"Gt Ton a Home." This is
a caption of an article in the

a world of meaning. If every

We would like to see an em
bodied prsonofied combination
of all the elements opposed to
the democracy in Texan, faith
fully photographed. What a
picture it would make."
It is a little strange but never
theless true, that transportation
from New York to any point
in the interior oi Texas, is low
er than from Galveston.
The whipping poet ot the
olden time is what is now de
manded by many of our ex
changes. It would bo a good
thing for Texas, or, at least, lor
this part of the Stale.
It is said to be a settled fact
that the Republican members
ot the Louisiana Legislature will
petition Gov. Nichols for execu
tive clemency in tho case ot
Thomas C Anderson.
The first and ereatest need
ot Galveston just now is a Paul
Brcmond. He would build a
railroad tor her without
troubling cither Eopperl, Rosen
berg, or the County Court.
Suppose Throckmorton and
Hubbard, when the convention
meets, mutually get eaeh other
in the "nine hole," who would
be Governor, then! Mills, we
suppose; or D. C. G id ding.
Galveston is buoyed up with
the prospect that Congiess will
subsidize some foreign mail lines
for her. It is to be hoped that
Congress or something or some
body will help her a little. She
bIiows very little disposition to
help herself.
Jack Duncan, who was

It is thought that a vote on

The Dallas Herald complains'
that the Galveston MardiGrns is
advertised only in the Galveston
News, xnd that it is expected
that people irotn north Texa
will be attracted by cheap invi
tations. L. -M. Smith, an esteemed
resident for 39 yenrs of De
Moine To. was lately found
guilty f murder in the first de
gree for aiding to lyrtrh two
horse thieves IS years ago. He
will probably be p-irdoned.

Caxdidateb tor gubernatorial
honors must havo plenty of
small change. The S. A.kpres

in less than half an hour. He
simply addressed tho pascera as
"Governor."
It is reported that scenes ot
drunkenness are presented in
the Senate chamber and the
Hone of Rnpresentativcs that
are well, calculated to disgrace
tho nation. Senators and mem
bers are to be seen in their seats
in a maudlin state ot intoxica
tion. Bismaeck is said to hold the
whip now over the Powers ol
Europe, and as he cracks it
they all march. A fight be
tween Russii and Prnsiia on
one side and England France,
Austria, Italy and Spain, on
the other, would be highly in
teresting to an outsider.
The United States has not
yet recognised Diaz. Whether
that worthy senor is President

he obtained the position; nor

tions Rutherford B. has sub

If the contest for the guber

we aro not snre but what the

be determined by a mile race
between the two aspirants, on

on a hot day, tho chances are
that Throck will be the victor.
