'In Wirt county a band of red men, a sort ofan organized vig- 'ilencc committee, took a man from a house r.nd whipped him with hickory withes until he fainted. The whipped man swore out warrants against two .of the parties, but the officers were afrafd to execute the writs. 'The' law, it seems, is openly set at defiance.' t . . . . , A bad state of affairs exists in eastern Ac entucky. InEllliott county the regulators are ex tending their organization through northwestern Ken tucky, and are reported to have enrolled 3000 of the bettor citizens of that rigion. In Row an county they posted a notice on the courthouse that may try Rabourne for the murder of Hyatt: "Ifyou fail to give him justiee you will be as guilty ar. he. Also', any 'attorney that may raise any technicality in his defense will be sent on a visit Kendall and 'Mr. Millaiu." nhe two latter were hanged. The Denison.iVira'f says let ters oatent have been nranted 4o Willis Sauls, colored, of Dcn- ison, for an 'improved cotton chopper and planter. The News says "it is without doubt,- a most useful implement, and it is our honest opinion, backed by. those of farmers and experts, that Sauls has a decided bonan za in his invention.'.'. Itisavcry rare, thing, that, a negro.ever dis plays any inventive genius and toe hope that this one may be successful as an incentive to others to follow his example, It affords the Banner pleasure to record any praiseworthy act pn tne part 01 tne colored peo- .ple.V ! 11 f o . . . ,y . . THEDenisonyfrai' says of Jesse James, the notoriots out law and desporado, who was re cently killed near Jopline, Mo., by'a comrade jiamed Shepard: "His careenvas made for him; -when he started to rob and plun der and murder, he did so be cause he ivas goaded to it; When the war was over he wan ted 'to live peaceable, he could not do so for the hand of man was against him. He was an .outlaw because there wasnothr ingibut outlawry for him; to fol low. He committed many .crimes' but more and deadlier were committed against him." Jesse James is a historical char acter and his career was the outgrowth of the war. TiiEsnyod of the Cumber land Presbyterian church in ses sion at Paris has passe! a reso lution that R. J. Hayes,"1 R. J. Sims, W. H. Groves, T. M. Goodnight and R. B. Groves have renounced all allegiance to the Cumberland Presbyter ian church and entered into a new organization. The snyod disclaims1 all affiliation with said men, and denounces their fana tical, sentiments and absurd ex travagant proceedings as mis chievous in the extreme. The church is' advised not to affiliate with them, nor to recognize them as members of the C. P. church. The men named are the head centers of the sancti ficationist band of lunatics. i - Texas has had another legal hanging. This time it was a negro named Bill Davis; he was hanged at Lockhart on Thurs day, the 6th inst. He murder ed Dolly Hudspeth in Caldwell county, October 20, 1878, be cause he indicted him for gam bling. He was convicted at the March term, 1879. The hang ing drew better than a circus and it is estimated that 5000 people were present. Davis confessed his crime. On the scaffold his last -words were: "Farewell all. I feci worthy of death. Farewell I am going home; will meet you all again." He told his colored brethren to beware of the card table. He was young and bad, being only 29 ears old. The moral ciTcct of this hanging will be better than sending twenty convicts to tne penitentiary for life. A life sentence lias no terrors compared with hanging. Con which tingcncics may arise by .1 man may escape, onu cirr hogs and rAmma. A doubt has been expressed by some of our country Iricnds as to the permanence of the privileges accorded to our city hogs. TJiey need have no ap prehension upon this subject. Our city fa upon a special p and hithert firm to their p1 bly as' inferos nchts ot iio"s, of a hog would has him fattened cribs free of expense. True it is, that a hog, in a sin gle night, mayjdestroy the gar den of a citizen; worth ten times the value of the hog for fences and gates are no impediment to a Brcnham hog in the pursuit of an honest living: But what does the owner of the hog care for that? It d(5cs not cost him a cent; and "as for the gardens, people need-not take the trou ble to cultivate them if they in tend to object to a hogs helping himself to vegetables, when he feels like it. In fact, it promotes business to discourage the cul tivation of gardens. If a man cannot raise his own vegetables he must buy them. That com pels their importation, and the railroad, and the drayman, and the merchant find employment thereby, and this is, no doubt, the reason why our city fathers so bravely stand up to the rights of our city hogs. True, they breakdown our gates and fen ces, root up gardens, and play the deuce generally in the yards of those who are not their own ers. True, they "force ladies from the sidewalks, by their presence or their filth. True, they make their wallows in the streets and alleys, and their beds under our houses, filling our ears with their grunting and our clothes with their fleas. But they promote business, and our city fathers ought to stand by J their pledges and the rights of the city hogs.j. Masked robbers do not con fine their operations to Texas alone. The dispatches relate that the house of "J. and G. T. Bailey, near Kenne'tt Square, P,enn., was entered by masked burglars, A safe containing 5150,000 in bondswas opened and non- negotiable bonds to the amount of $147,000 scat tered over the floor. Three thousand dollars andV a gold watch rewarded the robbers. rituh Capital Coming, The New York Sun says: "In the course of the next five years a vast amount of British capital will find its way to this country, where branches of English business houses will be established, while in many cases the main business will be trans ferred here. We may sec this to-day in New York, where shops arc constantly being .es tablished by Englishmen. The great dry goods houses are largely represented by them. The capitalist, feeling an abso lute security in our public finances, will mere and more pour those hoards which he is at his wits' end to know how to invest, into associations con ducted by his own countrymen here, and the benefit will accrue to both countries. The present iruuuic in jcngianu win uius tArtri -i laY Aa.v lAAa 1 A commercial interests of the two countries. Englishmen already own larrre rmssessinns Jn thP West, and every year will see the number of such proprietors increase. Within a very few years there will be a daily mail steamer to England." m France is a happy country. Whtle every other nation in Europe is bemoaning over defi cits and financial difficulties, her revenue is pouring in and exceeding the estimates by largesums. The returns for the month pf September have just been made up and they show that the receipts exceed the es timates by i4,o6o,ooo francs. The total sum received during the the first nine months of the present year exceeds the esti mates by 108,000,000 francs. So that if France- continues to progress financially during the next quarter of 1S79 in the same ratio that she has done during the past three quarters, at the end she will find herself the pos sessor of a surplus of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,00 a sum nearly as large as the defi cit which Lord Beaconsficld's government have created for their successors to wipe off. To can pic-plant: Skin and cut as for pie; fill a glass can fu'.l as you can, then fill up with cold water; screw on the cover; no cookiug or heating. This is a reliable receipt. The fruit will be as nice another year as that fresh from the garden. District court at Bastrop closed a three weeks term last week.

His friends say he is innocent. Bastrop county sent twelve students to the state's industrial institute at Huntsville. Their terms range from two years to life sentences. Bryan is excited over the discovery of a well of mineral water on the poor farm near there. It is saido possess val uable medicinal qualities. W. F.

Four men entered the house of Jo Standridge, near Golinda, Falls county and forci bly deprived him t)f$675 and afterwards fired on hi 1 for try ing to escape from them. Citizens of LaGrange and Fayette county have already subscribed between 5,40,000 and $50,000 towards building, the Alleyton tap road. They evidently mean business.

Justice Stockbridgc at Co lumbus has admitted Warren Stafford, white, John Dcnly and Dave Johnson, colored, to bail in the sum of $500 each. They are charged with murdering two negroes ; bail was prompt ly given. The harp holds in its wires the possibilities of noblest chords; yet if they be not struck they must hang dull and use less. So the mind is vested with a hundred powers, that must be smitten by a heavy hand to prove themselves the offspring of Divinity. Jcc Armingal, a merchant and cotton-buyer of Hearnc, says a special to the Telegram, has skipped, and with him $30, 000 belonging to his creditors. Tuesday last he left ostensibly for the purpose of going to Gal veston, lie did not go there. Galveston and Houston mer chants and citizens of Hcarne suffered. His credit was Ai, and he made good use of it in swindling.

John Greenwood, arrested at Jacksboro as an escaped murderer from Panola county, was being taken under guard to Decatur. Going down hill he was left .-done in the hack to drive he drove away in a shower of bullets. Prisoncc es caped, wagon broke and sheriff out several hundred dollars. Cummins, the D.illas land agent, arrested for crookedness, feels annoyed at the inconven ience he must be subjected to by the proceeding, which hc.rc- gards as absurd and as origina ting from error. If it should turn out that no charges can be sustained against him a gricv ious wrong has been inflicted. Galveston policemen are in the habit of "dead-heading" their way into the Tremont op era house. The chief of police publishes a card in which he states that the gentlemen on the force will not apply, for ad mission urfless they are prepar ed to pay; the blackguards wiil ol course continue to dead head. Marlin Johnson, a negro living on his own place six miles from Columbus, has b'een, by siK men, warned to Lave within 30 days or be purged by blue pills. Itissuppoaed that the warning grew out ot com plications arising from the mur der of two negroes near Colum bus a few days ago. A vigor ous prosecution of the law would probably put a stop to such devilment, which can re suit in no good to the commun ity. If Johnson has been guilty of any wrong he should be dealt w ith legally and not by threats of mob violence. . Bellville Times: The rail road will be completed to Mill creek by the 20th inst. and to Bellville by Dec. 15. Quite a number of business houses and dwellings are going up.

Uow to Oct On la th Worlii A working man sometime ago published his own biogra phy, one of the most interest ing little volumes that has ap peared during the present cen tury. It is as follows; "It may to some appear like vanity in me to write that I now do, but I should not give my life truly if I omitttd it. When Hilling a cart with earth on a farm, I never stopped work because my side of. the cart might be heaped up before the other-sidc 1 at w Inch was another w orkman. I pushed over what I had heap ed up, to help him: so doubtless he did to mo when he was first and I was last. When I have filled my columns of .vnewspa per with matter for which I'was to be paid, I never stopped if I thought the subject required more explanation, because there was no contract for more payment, or no possibility of obtaining more. When I have lived in a barrack room, I have stopped work and taken a baby from a soldier's wife, when she had to work, and nursed ft for her, or gone for water for her, or cleaned another man's -ac-. coutrements, though it was no part of my duty to do so. "When I had been engaged in political literature and travel ling for a newspaper, I have gone many miles out of my road to ascertain a local fact, or to pursue a subject to the minutest details, if it appeared that the public were unac quainted with the facts of the case, and thus when I had the work, was the most pleasant and profitable. When I have wanted work, I have accepted it at any wages I could get, at a 'plow, in farm draining, stone-quarrying, breaking stones, at wood-cutting, in a saw pit, as a civilian or soldier. In London I have groomed a cabman's horse and cleaned out a stable for six pence. I have since tried liter ature, and have done as much writing for ten shillings as I have readily obtained both sought for and offered ten guineas for. "But if I had not been con tented to begin at the begin ning, and accept ten shillings, I should not have arisen to guin eas. I have lost nothing by working, whatever I have been doing.. with spade or pen I have been my own helper. Are you prepared to imitate? Hu mility is always the attended of sense, folly alone was proud. A wise divine when preaching to the youths of his congrega tion, was wont to say: 'Beware of being; golden apprentices, silver journeyman and copper masters.' The only cure for pride 'is sense; and the only path to promotion is condescen sion. What multitudes have been ruined by the pride of their hearts." Here is testimo ny worth treasuing in mind by every body. ITaat Shall we do vita Oar Sous 1 Give them a good education. Teach them to be brave, strong, true. Teach them to .respect women and treat them as their equals. Teach them to be pure in thought, deed and action, to despise -meanness and falsehood. Teach them to be self-supporting and ashamed of idleness.. Show them the way to love na ture, to love the sunshine, exer cise in the fresh air and honor able work, Teach them to hate tobacco, rum, all strong drinks, and to love fiuit and simple foods. Teach them all the vir tues, none of the vices, and they will, when you are old and ready to depart, rise up and call you blessed, A Rivfr Without Water. Louisville dispatch of the 24 The Ohio river at this point is lower than ever known in his tory there being scant two feet water in many places, while what is known as the Falls pre sents a bleak and barren ap pearance, huge rocks and acres of stone-bed being visible for miles. The width of the river here is one and a quarter miles, but at present the water is not over half a mide wide, and the water on the sapids is not lar ger than a small creek. Al though thus confined to a smal ler space it is the most danger ous. For w eeks past .hundreds of geologists have come to Louisville from other points, to pick up rare specimens thus ex posed.
