SPEElYJOiTUE
The San Antonio Eeprcs
speaking of the rocont murder
near that citj-. says honest incii
contemplate the long and -'hast-ItV
Hat of murders committed in
that section of country with
honor anl indignation. Courts
and juries have failed to con
vict a single mnrdercr. "We
must have a reform in the treat
ment of red-handed murderers
btlnre the courts, and th.it re
form cannot ci.nie too soon.
The power is in the court', and
there the people must demand
rcliif. Wo must prevent acts
of violence by the peop'e, tor i
horror of 'hat kind would cling
to us for years, and the disgrace
to the community could scarcely
be obliterated."'
The Banker has on ..several
occasions reverted to the fact
that red-handed, murderers have
been acquitted bf juries, in too
many instance, selcctcd-lor the
purpose. The fault lie's not so
much with the courts as wMi
the juries, and with, to nosmnll
degree, public sentiment. The
stealing ol a hore is regarded
as a much more-heinous offense
tl a i killing a man.- The
records of the District Courts
will .--how that in lr too many
nistancrs horso thieves have
been scut to the penitential y for
terms of five and ten 3 car,
when men convicted ot man
slaughter and murder in tho
8'coiid degree have been let off
on senteuccs ot two and five
years. Very reentry a man
convicted ot murder in the first
drgree in Denton county was
sent to the penetentiary tor
thirty years. The recent deci
sions ot the Appellate Court,
nfiirmiiis th:f death sentence in
three case, meets thp unquali
fied approval of the pre, and,
we believe, the public generally.
A few judicial hangings will, it
is to be hoped, have a sglutary
influence on public opinion.
The speedy trial ot criminals is
also another thing that pnblii;
opinion should and doubtless
will imperatively demand.
Every continuance secured inn
advantage gained by .the de
fendant, and a serious drawback
to the prosecution.
.
Protection of Fish.
Under the laws of this State
the fining for fit-h in all fresh
water streams is prohibited troin
the 15th of February to the
15th ol June The Victoria
Advocate says: "Any infraction
ot this law iu this emmty- will
be prosecuted.-' The same
thing .shonld bo done in Wah
ingtoji county Wo have nu
merous small streams that are
chiefly noted for the absence of
nh. Why they are so scarce
we are at a loss to know, unless
it Iks that thc3' are all seined
ont. The streams as a general
thiii;; aio shallow, there beinsr
occasional deep holes; it is an
easy thing to take a seine and
catch every ii-h in a hole, thus
the streams are kept continually
fished out. It l . almost impos
sible to catch a mess of small
fish with a hook and line in any
ot the creeks within eight or ten
miles of Brenham. If seining
was stopped entirely for three
or four years in this conntytthc
streams would become restocked
wit,h perch, cat, buffalo, gapor
goo and other varieties of Mi
that are indigenous to thec
waters. As an article of food
that costs nothing for its pro
duction, fish is oue ot the nt
mf'st. importance. In addition
to this, it is highly esteemed by
a large majority ot the people.
In the old States they have both
fish and gnmo lavs that are
icgnlarly enforced, and wo
should do the same thing in this
State.
m fc m -
Thk question whether de
fendants in criminal prosecu
tions should be allowed to testi
fy in 'their own behalf is being
di-cussed. The LaGrangc
Record says the rule of allow
ing prisoners to testify is grad
ually introducing itself into gen
eral favor, and is giving satis
faction. It is more than likely
that it wjll be considered by our
next Iegh-laturc.
BEENHAM, TEXAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, '1878.
Tho State Conrcntiim and laiitass.
Major J. D. Savers was in
Austin the 'other davmid was
interviewed by the AY(fe Gazette.
It say-: "'The member of the
Democratic Executive (otntiiiN
tec are ceiiernllv indifferent :w
to whether tht State convention
shall be held iu .1 nly or A ugnst,
but we arc inclined to the
opinion that the former month
mav he selected: The plao-s ot
meeting will be determined iu
the course of the next two or
three mouths by a majority
votp."
As to the time of holding
the convention, it is our opin
ion that August, or even early
in September, would be early
enough to hold it. Two full
months of a State canvass, with
all its attendant meeting,
speeches and newspaper work,
is certainly as much as the av
crage voter should have r.ny
desire for The canvass should
be sufficiently long fur the
various candidates to have time
eliongh to visit all their constit
uents and thoroughly cli-cus-the
v.irions issues involved, and
alt-o the changes, that should be
made in existing laws. Theic
are imiry things demanding
nrgent attention. The judi
ciary, the administration of the
criminal laws, the system of
faruiinz ont convict labor, the
public school system and the
revenue laws of the Stare, AH
these things need to be thor
oughly discussed and under
stood by the people. Two
months and a little over is am
ple time to discuss these mat
ters. As to tho place of holding
the convention, itis a minor
consideration, and we doubt not
the Executive Committee will
agree upon, a suitable locality.
Wheat ana Cotton Raisin?.
A writer in the Dallas Com
mercial compares the cot of
wheat and cotton raising, taking
a fin example ten acres ot each.
Allowing 1 per 100 tor pick
ing the .cotton .and nil the other
expenses, except reiifot land he
.makes the tei acres ot cotton
cost ready tor market i 130.50;
counting the crop at five bales
it realizes $250. lie calculates
thcexpeiis.-sot the wheat crop,
at ?100 when it is put in market;
tho yield he estimates at twen
ty bu-luls per acre, or two lmn-
L drcd bushels.
Averaging cotton at en eci.ts
a pound, and wheat at one dol
lar a bushel, the writer finds
the advantage to be in Savor ot
cotton. The Commercial editorially,-
thinks the advantage iu
favor ot the wheat crop, as in
the estimate ot pri'-es, the gen
tleman has rated his cotton too
high and his wheat too low.
To us, the true policyy scpins
to be a diversity of crops, cot
ton and wheat as well aa other
cereals, grow equally well. We
do not think it advisable to
plant all cotton or ill wheat.
To use a homely proverb it is
"not well to curry all your cges
in one basket." It one crop fails
the other nay hit.
Thk Waco TeUpftone still
harps on Hon. A. J. Evans, ol
that city, as a fitting personage
to srace the bench of the Uni
ted States Court 3et to be e-tab-lishcd.
"Wcare at a loss to un
derstand why Hon. A. JYEans,
is so eminently fitted to fill the
position. He is a hitter and
uncompiomisiug Radical and
during the last State canvass,
madeaspecdi to the negroes, in
the Brenham court house, in
which ho was guilty of using the
most incendiary language. He
alo said there was no such a
thing as an honest Democrat;
that the only honest men were
Radicals, and much moreot the
same sort. It such a record en
titles a man to a federal judge
ship than Evans is the man.
