The Bellville Beacon learns
from a gentleman just from Gal
veston that the prospects for
railroad communication with
that city via Santa Fe railroad
arc brighter than ever. It says:
"The proposed donations from
Jhis county will be cheerfully
complied with, provided the
road complies w ith their prom
ises." Judge A. S. Uroaddus, of
Caldwell, fturleson county, has
been confirmed by the senate as
judge- of the new 32d judicial
district, composed of the coun
ties of Washington, Burleson'
and Lee. Judge Broaddus was
recommended by the entire bar
of this county. We have no
doubt his appointment will give
general satisfaction.
The senate has confirmed the
nomination of A. B. Norton to
be United Sates marshal for the
northern district of Texas. The
nomination of . B. Turner to
be district judge was rejected.
This cooks Turner's goose he
will have to content himself
with a state district judgeship.
A resident of the new distrkt
will probably be appointed.
The Dallas Herald, having

we may do full justice to this sad, sad sep

The court of appeals, sitting
at Galveston, have affirmed, re
cently, the decision of murder
in the first degree found in the
coutts below in three cases;

Geokgc M. Robeson-, late
secretary of the navy will be the
jcpublican leader in the house
of representatives. The Albany
r Argus says his record exactly
fits him for it. The democrats
charge him with squandering
100,000,000 of the public mon
ey, while his own moral party
insists, with a tenacity worthy
of a better cause, that he got
away with only 5 3,000,000.
Tins enhances his claims as a
'republican leader.
Hall'j, command was kept
in the field in 'western Texas
and did its duty faithfully. A
heavy pressure was brought to
bear by the people of that sec
tion of the state to have them
retained in the service. Sonic
of 'the members of the legisla
ture do not want to pay them.
The San Antonio Express says :
Take the -list of those "who
vote against refunding the mon
ey advanced to retain Hall's
command in the field, and ten
to one, it will be found that they
arc composed mainly of men
who would dishonor the state
t.1 vent a little personal spite
against cx-Gov. Hubbard. That
"it was Dick Hubbard's work"
has been JTc refrain of all that
gentleman's enemies, and no
other reason could be givei for,
repudiating a debt of honor.
Tun colored people are grad
ually waking up to a knowledge
that the republicans want their
votes but are not will:ng to di
vide the spoils of office with
them. A newspaper published
in Galveston by a negro, says
at the last republican state con
vention a colored gentleman was
put on the ticket for lieutenant
governor with a foregone con
clusion that there was no possi-
:y of his election. If there
bech so much as the gho3t
of electing the tick-
ortion- of it, the col-
ould have been left

Sherman, April 1, 1879.
Editors Banner:
I found great improvement
in the building of houses,fences
etc., and an increased acreage
of lands in cultivation, on the
entire route from Brenham to
this place. Our travel on the
trairi yesterday was very disa
greeable -and dust)', until we
had nearly reached McKinney,
when a fine rain greeted us and
ordered the dust to lay still.and
it did. The trip was a very pleas
ant one in spite of all this, ow
ing to the kindness of the con
ductor, news-boy and porter,
with pleasant and familiar faces
of the doctors, and those of the
milder and better sex in all
just 'enough to make the trip
pleasant in spite of the dust.
The train makes much better
time on the main line than it
does on the Austin branch, and
only stops long enough to say
howdy and good-bye, and.it is
off again. Not a word of com
plaint was uttered by any one
on the entire route, except at
the Dallas supper which was sLx
bits two-bits too much.
The citizens here were bless
ed with a fine rain last night
which was much needed, being
the first for two months. Corn
is coming up, but not a good
stand yet. The wheat crop is
said to be very fine. -
You could have no concep--tion
of the vast improvements
in the way of farming and resi
dences, that have taken place
between here and Brenham in
the last five years, unless yon
had seen it with your own eyes,
as I have.
The Association will not meet
until 3 p. m. A cold norther
blowing; fire and overcoat com
fortable. Yours truly,
J. F.'Matchet.
From Burleson County.
Caldwell, March 28, '79.
Editors Brenham Hannen
Weather very dry; however
crops and gardens are looking
remarkably well, considering in
most cases they have had no
rain -since they were planted.
Grass is coming on finely. Cat
tle not improving much on ac
count of the heel flies. Some
stockmen think the heel flies
have caused the death of as
many of their cattle this spring
as the cold wintcrthrough which
they have just passed.
The Sunday Schools here will
spend next Sabbathjn a Union
review lesson. Hereafter month
ly mass meetings will be held
alternating between the church
es. Fruit prospects very fine.
