BRENHAM, TEXAS,
SHEPARD AND HANCOCK.
- The LaGrangc Record says it
raises the name of Hancock as
its voluntary choice, upon its
own responsibility, without the
authority or request of any liv
ing man. .The Record professes
to believe that Hancock is the
choice of nine-tenths of the peo
ple of Fayette county. The
other tenth is, wc suppose, for
Jones or some other fellow. Of
course we-do not know the sen
timent of Fayette county, but
are inclined to the opinion that
the Recold's admiratiou of
Hancock has to a slight extent
warpedits judgement in regard
to the sentiment of the people
of its county. TIic'Banner, as
yet, has learned nothing to
change its opinion" that Scth
Shepard is the choice oftlie De
mocracy of the DistrictfFayette
county and the Re :oid to the
contrary notwithstanding. At
the congressional? convention,
at Austin, two years ago, Mr?-
Shepard was undoubtedly the
first choice of the convention,
and-had-thc majority, instead of
the two-thirds rule been in force,
he would have got the nomina
tion. I Iancock and his strikers
prevented it This is a matter
,of record. The Record suspects
"abug under the chip." This is
alia mistake; there fsno bug
there. Mr. Shepard is a citizen
of this county, and asa matfer
' of course, is a great favorite at
home. The Banker's advocacy
of Mr. Shepard is as disinterest
ed a the Record's of Hancock.
Wc believe -Mr. Shepard will
make an able and faithful. rep
resentative; So far as we are J
advised, the names of Col. Fin
ley, of Galveston, and Col. Gid
dings have, not been mentioned
as- being in llie race. When
the convention assembles it
may be that some other man
than Mr. Shepard will be the
choice, but from the present
Outlook, we think Mr. Shep'ard
is the man; If not, we shall
cheerfully acquiesce in the re
sult. Does our neighbor, the
Record, recollect what Han
cock Baid about the newspa
pers.? The speeches .made at the
Brewers' National congress at
Baltimore last week contained
some interesting suggestions on
the subject of teetotalism. Mr.
Laucr, of Pennsylvania, asserted
that In all countries where
stringent liquor laws have been
adopted, the use of opium and
injurious alcoholic drinks has
been favored by such legisla
tion. He said while the Ger
mans and French, beer and
wine-drinking people, are mod-,
els of sobriety and frugality,
the Turks, -who are teetotalers
and prohibitionists, are exam
ples of degredation, indolence
and filth. v'Thc Turks," said
Mr. Lauer, "being a nation of
water-drinkers, have become as
a stagnant morass an offence
to civilization.
The Senate, by a vote of 45
to 15 agreed to a substitute for
the House bill to repeal the re
sumption act after amending
the same so as to make United
States notes receivable in pay
"ment for the four per cent bonds
authorized by law to be issued
and that on and sfter October I
1878 said notes shall be receiv
able for duty on imports. This
will probable finish .the financial
legislation of this session of
congress and give the National
banks a further lease of life and
licence to fleece the people as
heretofore. The Senate amend
ment is yet to be concurred in
by the House.
A sr-EciAL from Eagle. Pass

about 500 cavalry and is amply

"Wanted A CompetincIino.
An agent of the Montgomery,
Ala., Oil Works, one of the
wealthiest corporations in the
South, has been in this city
considering the purchase of the
Brenham oil mills. He is per
fectly delighted with the loca
tion of the city and the surround
ing country and is satisfied that
it offers superior advantages to
any city in the city in the south
for a cotton seed oil mill. There is
more cotton produced in Wash
ton county than in the same ex
tent of territory in and other
part ofjthe vrorld. The ;only
difficulty in the way is the'want
of a compctiug freight line
The gent'a nen says he can ship
the product of the Montgom
ery oil mills to Liverpool for
24s. or $6 per ton less than he
can from Brenham at existing
freight tariff. Brenham is 150
miles nearer the sea' coast than
Montgomery. If we had the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad completed to this place
the parties would not hesitate a
moment about locating here and
may perhaps' do so, because of
probability of the roads being
built The road being hcjc
there is no doubt but thatnum
crous manufacturing establish
ments will be started. Every
merchant, mechanic, laborer,
property owner and profession
al man is directly interested in
the enterprise of anew railroad.

A murder case was on trial
at Marhall, thatof Dave Wash
ington charged with the mur
der of Wm. J3rown, both color
ed. The Marshall Herald says
that ouf of the first venire of
sixty jurors, only six were ob
tained, and another nearly ex
hausted before the jury was
complete. It was astonishing
how many men excused them
selves from serving on the
ground that they had conscien
tious scruplus as to the inflction
of the death of the death penal
ty. The Herald says: '"As
these excused parties filed out,
one after another, wc wondered
if any one of them could be in
duced, under any circumstances
to join a vurtuous mob? Or if a
relative of theirs had been mur
dered, how they would regard
the matter?"

Montgomery Blair still harps
on the presidential 'title. He
has written a letter to Major
Dobyns, of "the " "Kingdom of
Callawav," in Missouri, in which
he says: "Hayes took office
on the express stipulation that
the decision'of the commisssion
which conferrrd it was not final,
but was subject to review by
the supreme court of the United
States." This is a different
view from that generally enter
tained. The-question was sub
mitted to the electoral commis
sion for the purpose of a final
solution. The result is before
the country and has been thor
oughly discussed. 9
The Internal Revenue laws
are very strict. Saloon keepers
can not be too particular. In
St. Louis a number of dram
shop keepers have been arrest
ed forputtingafewblackberries,
roots, herbs, etc. in distilled
spirits, thereby rendering them
selves liable as rectifiers. This
ruling makes it unlawful for a
bar-keeper to compound a bot
tle of tansy bitters. The de
struction of revenue stamps on
packages should be closely
watched.
The Rinker case at Galves
ton is assuming new interest.
Dr. Rogers an intimate of Rin
ker, and acquainted with the
circumstances, testifies that he
believes Burgess murdered him.
It was claimed some time ago
that the absence of powder
marks in the face of Rinker was
proof positive that he had
not shot himself. The present
suit grows out of life insurance
policies;
Freigiiis lo Galveston 'from

The grounds wcrcTfdpiirably
well laid out; refrcshmentstands
and restaurants""wcrc provided ;
a mammoth platform, with a
splendid floor, for dancing was
erected; the Hobby Horses
were on the ground and furnish
ed ample amusement for the
children, old and young ; posts
were set, rings provided and a
track made for tournament exer
cises, but owing to the opprcs
sivily warm weather, they wore
dispensed with.
The exercises of the day were
opened at I oc'clock by Presi
dent Kohler, who introduced to
the- audience Mr. Robert
Schmcrbcck, the German orator,
who favored them with an ex
cellent and carefully prepared
address, which was well deliver
ed and gave general satisfaction,
eliciting great praise from a large
number of intelligent Germans
present.
The next was an English ora
tion by a young Presbyterian'
minister, Mr. Boyd. His theme
was uporr labor and its reward,
and was favorably received.
The Bohemian oration was
delivered by Mr. Heidusclf, a
prominent young lawyer of Fay
ette county, and is said to Jiavc
been an able effort.
About this time it was an
nounced that Geo. Wash Jones
had arrived and desired to mSke
a political speech. Although
the committee thought it an in
appropriate time for political
speech-making it not being a
political gathering he was al
lowed one hour in which to tell
what he knew about greenbacks.
Notwithstanding he had a res;
pectful hearing, no one's pock
ets were visably replenished
that w e heard ofT Of one thing,
however, the people are thor
oughly convinced, and that is,
that Jones is a chronic office
seeker and demagogue.
At 6 o'clock dancing was
commenced upon the platform
and was enthusiastically indulg
ed in by all present during the
entire night,
The Volksfest was a perfect
success in every respect There
were about six hundred people
present ; and a more orderly,
harmonius assemblage it has
never been our pleasure to wit
ness. The entire festivities
passed of pleasantly and satis
factorily to all participatanls,
reflecting much credit upon the
officers and committeemen of
the association.
Our thanks are due Messrs.
J. A. Kohler, J. G. Carmichael,
Wm. Vanderwerth and N. Car

them that their kindness is duly
appreciated.
We hope that the committee
may be induced to keep .up

On Saturday -there was a

of32Sacree, 160 of which are
in Cultivation. Ihcre arc 75
acres in wheat, 70 in corn and
10 in a crarden, which latter,
besides furnishing foodforthc.
occupants of the farm, will more.
than pay for itself by the sale
of surplus. vcgctablcsT
The houses on the farm con

two for paupers, 'a guard house
for prisoners and a'largc barn.
The stock on the farm con
sists of six nead of mules, two
yoke of oxen, four cows and
calves, four yearlings and some
fifty head of hogs. The place
iswell supplied with farming
.implements. The- expense of
paying for the farm and stock
ing it, besides other necessary
expenses, have, it is true, cost
some money; but.such will not
be the case during the next ycart
ofitscxistence. The land which
costf;i5 peracrefor the whole,
is now estimated at $35 per acre
During the year there has been
on an average about thirty
hands.cmployed on the farm.
It cost the county before4the
poor farm was started, never
less than Soboo'a year to sup
port its paupers. The convicts
for petty offences, who were
thrown into the county jail, cost
the county forty cents a day to
feed thcm while no work was
realized from them. The num
ber thus fed averaged twenty,
which cost the county about J3,
000 per year.
The expenses of the county
jail, oeiorc uie esiaDiisumeni. 01
the farm, averaged $4,000 every
quarter, while the expenses of
that insitution during the last
quarter did not exceed 1600.
The total expenses of the coun
ty owing to the rcductionpf the
former have been reduced at
least two thousand dollars per
annum. The decrease will be
far greater next year when its
products will no doubt besides
paying all expcnses.turn a hand
