S.MAI.I. SHOT. UNDAUNTED by John Hancock's election the New Braunfcls manufacturing enterprise will begin to put up their factory about the 1st of January. SEND the democratic Hag to New York Give the Tammany hall democrats, thu Irving hall democrats and the county democrats one common flag to march under. A flag made in Texas, and which lias never waved over ft faction Times.

That's what we say. Send it to New York; you'll never be able to flaunt it in Texas again, liut don't forget to send up that "rebel yell" with it. THE Tyler Courier, it stems, is able to tell what became of some of the llubbell fund in this state, for it says that it is slated upon republican authority at Washington City that Hubbel got "tight up" for money two weeks ago, but that he managed to send Mahone $15,000 to be used in Virginia, and $3,000 to E. J. I)avis and $3,000 to Tom Ochiltrce, of Texas.

Poor Russell got nothing out of the final appropriation. His "national reputation," about which Withers speaks, would not win. Hubbell thought, doubtless, that money would not save him. It is even reported that llubhell refuses to pay the $250 it ie said Russell paid Withers lo get him out of the Sun. It is perhaps waste of breath to denounce the above statement so far as Goy.

Davis and Ochillrce is concerned, as a falsehood, but such it is nevertheless. This Ilnbliell fund business was part of the stock in trade of (lie democracy during the last campaign, and they would rather slick to a lie than acknowledge that they simply used it to deceive and prejudice the people. THE COMEDY CAMPAIGN. The more we review the campaign just concluded in our slate, the more vivid and distinct some incidents appear, until they form the comedy ol the campaign. Col.

Jones comes home from Washington and places himself at the head of the independent movement, Gov. Davis having already taken the field in the southwest. The regularly organized democracy, vrilh its scried ranks and its tremendous odds, stands ready for the assault. The contest looked so unequal thai it reminded us of the story about Goliah and David, and the chances looked about the same as when David went out with his little sling to meet the mailed giant of the Philistines. Well, the campaign opened, and Colonel Jones led out gallantly and iound his enemy dodging his well aimed logic, by an onslaught upon Gov.

Davis and his administration. Col. Jones handled his forces well, and was not outflanked down to a few days before the close of the campaign. Davis had placed his competitor entirely hors du combat, and the day was practically lost to Hancock. Jones went home for a few days rest before closing his canvass; making his final appointments in the loth district.

He was to speak at Austin, Burnett and San Antonio. This would have been a clincher on Hancock, as it would have kept up the heart of Jones' immediate followers, and encouraged them to stand by Davis. Jones goes to Austin, and there the comedy of the campaign begins lo culminate. The i lancock coterie are on the qui What money, what party discipline, LAKKDO A i Through the efforts of Mr. W.

R. Freeman the Laredo waterworks have become a settled fact--Mr. K. has been authorized to go on by New York parlies interested. The works will be commenced as soon as material can be gotten on the ground.

Laredo can score a triumph. The Cmuet. New York, November captain of the brig Letilia which arrived to-day from Miragoane, reports that September 21 when near St. Marc, Hayti, a large cornel of great brilliancy was seen bearing east by south and visible for some time after the sun rose. Bays: "The comet has been visible in Hayti for some time and is very large and brilliant.

As we came north it diminished- in and brightness and appeared to be moving in a more southerly direction over Hayli. It was seen as late as 10 a. m. in the day nnd appeared much larger than on our approach to New York. Most people in Haytt think their last days have come.

After the comet of last year they had the small-pox and lost upward of 60,000 lives throughout the dominions. They always look upon a comet as a bad omen, and are at a loss trouble this will bring them." to know what Tiio AVorld'a I.arjrftsl f.aml-Owiier. Daniel Murphy's funeral will take place tomorrow. He was a pioneer, having come to California in 1854. His business ever since he came to Calilornia has been stock raising.

He first had large tracts in the south end of this county, and as his herds grew he went into the San Joaquin valley. The "no fence" law forced him to take cattle to Nevada. He also owned 200,000 acres of land in that slate when he died, and 6,000,000 in the state of Durango, Mexico, and large tracts in Arizona, and was, at the time of his Heath, the largest land-owner in (he Citizen, October 24. IVho Will lie l.eacTpr. Some curiosity is felt to see who will be republican leader in the next house, now that Robeson is taken from us.

Indications point to Robinson, of Massachusetts, us the mnn who could be more thoroughly successful in this duty than any olher. He is a compromise between the wings of the party, man of clear, logical mind, and while essentially modest, yet cannot be "bluffed." Moreover, he is a man who commands the respect of both parties, and one of broad, general views. It begins to dawn on the parly mind here, now, that if the party is lo succeed it must unite on men of this class. vive. what abuse and tradticlion had failed to do, must be compassed, and it is evident that at this point the curtain rises on Judge Terrell, as the villain of the play.

Terrell plays lago to Jones; he pleads his friendship in order to ingratiate himself; he excites his jealousy by allusions to Davis, and if Jones did not exclaim, Terrell invented the exclamation: that Davis had lost him 25,000 votes. 1 laving worked on the jealous Moore (Jones) Terrell (lago) then suggests to Jones to desert Davis, and allow his greenback friends to trade for Ireland votes by voting for Hancock. Jones fails to meet his appointment at liurnett and goes off to the northern portion of the state. liefore leaving Atislin (logo) Terrell manages to damage his friend Jones by gelling him docketed in the police court as a common ruflian. The curtain falls on this scene with lago (Terrell) soliloquizing over his success and the next move--to trap John Ireland into the arrangement.

Ireland on his way home, fagged with fatigue nnd disgust, reaches Austin, and (lago) Terrell plies him with his oily tongue, and pictures to him how he had ruined Jones, and calls upon him toallow his friends to trade ofl'his voles to save Hancock, and Ireland dare not refuse; it was then that the Hancock men began to bet their money on suc cess. The elder DeNormandie, a worthy old resident of Austin, now in his grave, once remarked about Terrell thai he was a scoundrel, and some friend of Terrell's told him of Normandie's assertion, and Terrell found Normandie and said lo him that he was sorry to hear that he, DeNormandie, had been saying hard things about i "Yes," replied I)e Normandi, "what say? oh, yes, I recollect, I said you were the most plausible d--n scoundrel I they went in and took a drink over it, Terrell, recognized it as a compliment. Terrell has mre shrewdness than the colerie combined; he is talented, unscrupulous, good nalured, oily tongued, and a man of far more ability than John Hancock, who really owes al his success to Terrell, bul Terrell only plajs second fiddle or "villian" in Ihe comedy while John Hancock beelles his brows, looks big, gets himself puffed up as head and shoulders above the delegation to congress; has his lickspittles talk of him as a prospective candidate for Vice-President, etc. Ring the curtain down. An Kdinburg journal says thai that city, having an outward righteousness, is corrupt, hollow, and degraded to the core.
