Col. W. W. Lang, Master 0
the Texas- State Grange, and
Mr. J. W. Downs proprietor of
the Waco Examiner are on a
lecturing (?) tour through the
State. On Tuesday last they
addressed' the Grangers at Ten
nessee. Colony, Anderson coun
ty. -TJKappeafs that the burden
of their speeches is that, every
class and business is arrayed
against the farmer. The Pales
tine New Era's correspondent
reports Mr. Lang's speech.
The following is .a specimen
brick: W'The farming class-had been
looked down upon and held an h
disrespect by all tne otner clash
es of society, Peop'e called the
farmers the mudsills' of society
and regarded their occupation
and duties as servile."
The Waco Telephone, in
which we find the above extract,
says it is not prepared to vouch
for the. accuracy of therreport,
Dut that-it has everappearance
of- beingr reliable; Mr? Lang
has heretofore borne.the char
acter of an intelligent and high
toned gentleman, $and why he
shouVd resort to such demagog
uery in. an endeavor to manu
facture, public qpinion in ,his
favor, we are at a loss 10 under- 4
&tand,( unless itbe,that his thirst
for office has utterly overcome
his better judgement
It is" the sheerest nonsense $0
attempt to'array the farmersas
as a class, agsinst the. remaih
dei of the community. The
farmers of Texas, as a class, are
fully as intelligent as those, not
engaged in agricultural pursuits,
and as we understand it, it is
little better than a direct insult
to them to say that every class
and business is arrayed against
them.. Agriculture is, and al
ways, in this county, has been
jegardsd as a honorable calling.
All classes of the community
have interests that arc mutual,,!
one is dependent upon the
other. Upon the farmers de
pends the living of the county.
If Col. Lang succeeds in mak
ing any capital by his present
course, we are much mistaken
in the temper of the people.
He is ostensibly engaged in
lecturing to the Grangers, but
it seems from the excerpt quot-ed'-above
that his object is
purely of a political character.
He has long had a thirst for
office and it also appears that his
chaperon Mr. J. W.. Downs is
effected with the same disease.
Mr. Downs is now engaged in
tooting Mr.-Lang's horn by writ
ing editorial letters totheWaco
Examiner in which he expresses
great sympathy for the poor
farmer" and tells how hard they
have to work and what a poor
-living rewards their labor.
We agree with the Telephone
in saying that if Mr.- Lang de
sires to become a candidate for
gubernatorial nonors let him
come out purely on his merits.
Class distinctions are not pro
motive of harmony.
Action "Wanted.
Mr. G. H. Warren, financial
agent of the Gul.f-Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad writes a n6te
to the Galveston News stating
that therannouncement of his
departure for New York for the
purpose of negotiating the
bonds of the company is prema
ture. He ays that "The condi
tions under which the bonds can
be sold are not yet corrfplied with
When the promised aid is ac
tually subscribed I shall be'glad
to' do all in my power to as
sist Mr Koppcrl in placing the
first mortgage bbnds of the
company."
Promises having been made
in profusion it now becomes
necessary to fulfill them. The
people of Washington and
other counties had as w ell Inake
up their minds to subscribe lib
erally. The sooner the sub
scription is made up the better
for all concerned.
Ham; of land swindling fame,

BRENHAM, TEXAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1878.
Wr. M. Tweed, after an ill
ness of several days., died in the
Ludlow street jail, New York on
Friday last at 12 m. He was
born in "New York in 1823, learn
ed the chairmakers trade but
early in life became a lawyer and
afterwards a politcian. His
public career commenced as an
alderman in Now York city in
1852.1 He has"been prominently
before the public since that time
His name is as well know n to the
people qfthe United States as
that of any 'otfier one man. Of
late years his reputation for
honesty has been somewhat un
der a cloud.' He,, was at the
head of what has passed into his
tory as the Tweed ring and
acquired thesobriequetof'Boss
Tweed! The swindling carried
on by the ring was on a magni
ficent scale, so - grand, in fact as
to be without 'a parallel in an
cient or modern times. Tweed
had. the credit of being the head
center of the ring and was a
most magificent grand rascal,
one that was beloved by all the
lesser rascals. Tweed always
devided. fair, and was never
known to be guilty ofa mean or
niggardly trick.' But as all ras
cality must have its end he was
at last overtaken and his down
fall was much more rapid than
his rise. The city of New Yosk
recovered a judgement against
him focr$6,oco,ooo being onlya
portion of the amount wrong
full obtained from the people by
the "Boss" and his gang. The
leading ..incidents in Tweed's
lite are fresh in the minds of thejhouij DC dealt with according
reading public. His last words
were "I have tried to do some
good; if I have not had good
luck I am not afraid to die. I
believe the guardian angel will
protect me."
Gold 100 1-4.
It appears from the Iates dis
patches that gold resumption is
practically- ."accomplished. On
Saturday gold closed in New
York at 100 1-4, being the low
est point reached since the be
ginning of the war. This result
was brought about by the ac
tion ot the Finance Committee
of the Senate, which voted;
with only two dissenting votes
that, after the 1st of July next
legal tender shall be receivable
for customs; second that legal
tenders shall be receivable at
par for-jfourj per- 'cent bonds;
third that present outstanding
legal tender shallshall be inde
structible: fourth repealing the
law which anthorizer the retire
ment of legal tenders in the
proportion of 80 per cent to
national bank note issues. It
is thought the bill will pass.
The Broadway Bank of New
York is- now paying gold in
sums of under $500. The
Northwestern National Bank,
of Chicago, w ill now redeem its
notes in gold when presented
at the counter.'' .
It seem3 thatresumption may
now be considered accomplished
fact md that without any financial
revolution or unusual commer
cial despression. The simple
fact of the government receiv
ing its'own money accomplish
es it, or rather will bring it
about. 1
The newspaper fraternity of
7exas is coming to the front.
Sometime ago Hon. Benjaman
Bake'r, of the Colorado Citizen
was elected to the high and hon
orable, position of mayor of the
city of Columbus. At the late
municipal election at Jefferson
the abiding place of "ye Jimp."
Col. Ward Taylor, Jr., of the
Jimplecute was duly elected
mayor. I Ie is now promoted to
be Hon. Ward 7aylor, Jr., but
his pathway is not strewn with
roses as the city, of Jefferson is
over head and ears in debt, but
notwithstanding newspaper men
arc on rising ground.
HARD times have caught John
Chamberlain, the celebrated

A day Or tw o ago w e pub
lished a short account of a
young white woman taking up
with a buck negro in Walker
county. Now comes the sequel.
The Houston Telegram gives
the following particulars: On
Tuesday last the negro, in
charge of an officer, was sent to
Riverside, a station in Walker
county. Arriving there the ne
gro was turned over to a justice
of the peace and a receipt taken
for him. The constable to whoni
the negro was delivered took
him to an unoccupied house,
locked a trace chain around his
neck and'anchored him to a sta
pic driven in the floor. About
half past nine o'clock in "the
evening, a crowd of fifteen or
twenty men, without masks, arm
ed with shot-guns rode up. The
story is short. The officers
were bulldozed and the negro
shot to death. At least two
pounds of buck-shot were lodg
ed in his body. The Telegram
remarks: "Thus ends the mis
cegenation case of Fanny Mc
Guire with her negro lover,
Walker Dering."
At this distance the lynching
of the negro has every appear
ance of a high-handed outrage.
A white woman of sound mind
who becomes so debased and
lost to all sense of decency as to
take up with a greasy, dirty
buck negro, is not entitled to
any sympathy from the commu
nity and is in reality the guilty
party. The lynching is wholly
unjustifiable and the lynchers
to law.
Train Rolaery Again.
The North Texas train rob
bers seem to have things pretty
much their own way. We find
the following particulars in the
Dallas Morning Call of the 1 ith
inst. The w est bound train on
the Texas Pacific road arrived
at Mesquite, 1 1 miles east of
Dallas at 10.40 p. m. on the 10th.
As the train neared the station
the engineer was ordered to
halt, with a gun at his breast,
not stopping soon enough sev
eral shots were fired at him. He
stopped and he and the fire
man were taken prisoners. As'
soon as the train stopped con
ductor Alvord and several oth
ers rushed outside and a battle
commenced. About forty shots
were fired. Conducter Alvord
was severely wounded in the
arm. Two of the robbers were
also shot .but managed to es
cape. The mail and express
were both robbed. The rob
bers made quite a sriTall haul.
Every effort should and doubt
less will be made to capture
this daring band. There is
supposed to have been nine
in the gang; they were all mask
cd, Time and Plaor.
As will be seen by the card
of Major Saycrs, the Democratic
Executive committee have se
lected Austin as the place, and
July 17th as the time of hold
ing the State Convention. Such
being the action of the commit
tee we have no objection to
make. The time of holding the
convention is a little more than
three months off, but we think
the Democracy of this county
would do well to begin making
preparations for a thorough or
ganization of the party. Since
the presidential election politcs
have been very quiet in our
county and but little interest
has been manifested. It is
about time the Democracy
w ere again waking up.
Tun Austin Scates'iian says
that only $ 200 are lacking to
secure the closing of bids for
construction ofa railroad from
Manor, a station 1 5 miles east
of Austin on the Central road,
to Georgetown. It draws a
gloomy, picture of the effect of
this road on to Austin and says.
"It is no fault of ours and the
suffers have none to blame be
sides themselves.

We like to get hold ot the
opinions of practical men. What
they are doing is far better than
the mere theories of what ought
to be done. At the State Fine
Stock Breeder's Association at
Marshalltown, Mr. Moses Bun
ker.was called out and question
ed by nearly everyone in the
room, they knowing him to be a
practical and successful feeder.
The Marshall Republican reports
him as follows:
He said his graded steers
from two to four years old will
weigh from 1,600 to 1,800
pounds. He aims to make his
steers bring him $100 apiece.
Last June he sold twenty half
bloods for 52,096. He feeds
raw corn in ear, and blue grass
pasture. He thought soaked
corn preferableto dry corn in
summer. He turns off his cat-:
tie at two and a half years of
age on an average, feeds them
well, gives them good hay and
a comfortable shelter in winter.
Grinnell paid he tied his cattle'
up in stalls and asked Bunker if
that is a blunder. Bunker re
plied that he tnought it best to
allow cattle, in feeding, moder
ate exercise, as it was his opin
ion that a little moving about
will aid them in putting on flesh.
He thought breechy cattle made
the best feeders, and he has no
trouble with such animals after
they have been made fat In
reply to a question, he said a
three-year-old grade is equal to
a five-year-old common steer.
A person can save about twq
years by feeding grades, and
can get from one to two dollars
more on a hundred poundsfthan
h: can realize from natives.

Some years since we recollect
hearing a man rcL&e' how "lie
had in twenty years" made a
'fortune. He had a wife;, of
taste, enterprise -and industry.
He would buy a farm which'had
been run down by neglect, and
slovenliness house ,unpafnted,
fences broken, down .anitlie ,
front yard a hog rangc.. .Hq
could always buy cheap!" a
such owners were 'dlways in
debt and had to sell. - He would
theu repair it up by painting
and-other small .but important
items. Bat he- said his main
dependence was on his wife
She would .soon have the. told
garden, brilliant with flowers,
while she would improvise cheap
rusctic porchs or piazzas and
have, them just hanging" "with
sweet vines. Then., the- place,
would be sold double the
price of purchase, six months
previous. Then, he would buy
againthus buying and -selling
continually. We do not, how
ever, introduce these things, to
be followed in all respects, but
to illustrate the increased value
attached to a farm adorned by a
little taste and industry. But
that is not all. There is real
enjoyment in having the' home
iawhich one is to live and- -die,
atfdrrieo'ma manner which no
gorgeous upholstryihg nor gild
ed mouldings, sustaining edstly t
lace, can compete witli. The
dark green ivy leave? and vihesV
which can fie' taught ,to twine
about walls, pictures and win
dows, add .refYnemenfantT'co'fn'-''
fort. and contenfmeiit' to any
home. And , yeV how cheap
these priceless companion orna
ments, to whicH Solomon Tn all
his glory could flofTqompare.
Plant flowers and train tHevines;
if you would have the yorldj"
envy you, in yonr home, anT
seek to obtain it "by thafwhtch
he can command, but vyhich
will never perpetrate its' beauty
How few there are who realiySii
appreciate the- materialized
