During the session of the Orand Lodge steps will be taken for the ercc tion in this city of the Odd Fellows' Temple, to cost $100,000. The lot op posite the Statesman office, 4GxlG0 feet, has been purchased as the site for the temple.

One hundred thousand dollars will erect a magnificent building in this city. The court house, at the head of the Avenue, only cost 75,000. BimniRs, Cakkiaues and Wagon9. Mr. 8.

As for stylo of pattern and durability of make, his buggies and carriages are A 1, antl his wagons are the best that inn.

Another Old Setti.eh Gone. The Statesman is again called upon to announce the death of another old settler, one of the very first that located in this section of the State. Mr. Reuben Hornsby is no more. He departed this life yesterday morning at his home a few miles down the river, at the advanced age of 80.

He was a man of indomitable will, courageous and conscientious, and possessed warm impulses. He was erhaps the oldest man iu the county, and certainly one of the best. Iu pioneer days there were none truer or braver or more self-sacrificing than Reuben Hornsby, and his death will cause a feeling of deep regret in the breasts of many old Texans. ScnooLs op Fish. The river was Thursday filled with schools of fish, and many people viewed them from the bridge.

Up the river as far as the -eye could reach schools numbering thousands could be seen. The fish were from three inches to a foot in length, and they came out into shallow water to sun themselves. Three or four years ago the government stocked the Colorado at this place with salmon and shad, and these fish, now appealing by millions, are supposed to be the result. A few of them, should be seined that it might be ascertained to a certainty as to what species they belong, Alderman Platt is waging a hot war on the special policemen apKinted to hunt up six-shooter cases and to report on those who disregard in the least the sanitary regulations. He says that generally speaking the men selected to do this duty are nothing moie or less than useless and unworthv of public confidence.

Alderman Platt also claims that the ordinance authorizing their appointment was passed, not for the benefit of the people, but for their oppression, and tor the sole purpose of "feathering the nest" of a lew officials. Ho says that in some instances complaints have been made by said specials against poor women for throwing a pan of slop into a street or alley, and that said women, rather than go before a police court and stand trial, plead guilty and were simply made to pay costs. Mr. Platt claims that he is attempting to put down a wrong which is a great infliction to the people, and he is content that the public should Jtnow all the facts. It is a common thing for Green-backers and all who complain about contraction and hard times to saddle all the blame upon the bondholders of the East.

It is an admitted fact that in the manufacturing districts of the East more government bonds are held than anywhere else; but we hardly think it fair that the bondholders and manufacturers of the East, and the manufacturers are generally bondholder, should be alone held responsible for the ills that the Greenbackers complain about. Certainly this class of people have suffered more by the stringency of the times than any other class. Many, very many of them, have failed and been left without a dollar, and all have lost more or less. Factories everywhere have suspended, to the serious injury of proprietors as well as operatives, and property of all kinds in the East has depreciated from SO to 200 per cent, in the last five years. If the Green-backers insiut that the troubles in this country are due to the financial policy of the government and to the bondholders, then how will they explain the present distress in Europe?

In lit lecture he spoke of the nature of electricity, modes of producing it, its application in useful arts, and its application to illumination and beating, nd be gave I i hearers a very good idea of the manner in which Edison proposes to light cities, public halls aud buildings with electric lights.

With his batteries he produced lights of various largest of which was equal, perhaps, to half a dozen ordinary gaslights. Ue spoke of experiments that had recently been made In Cincinnati; alluded to the difficulties that had been encountered and conquered; the illuminating power; the cost of producing the light; the present advancement and the probable future. The Professor is sanguine that cities and halls can be lighted by electric lights at a cost thirty or forty times cheaper than by gaslight, and that with two lights the Avenue could be beautifully illuminated from the Capitol to the liter. Ilia lecture was very interesting and his experiment decidedly satisfactory. We were sorry that there were not wore people present, and hope that Prof.

Editors Democratic SUtmnan: In the issue of the Galveston Setts of January 7 appears an article from their special correspondent, stating that the freeze bad cracked the stone piled np about the Federal court house and postoffice, which he says "shows that it was too soft and porous for the purpose intended." The stjne is the best in the State, ami in many respects superior to that obtaiued in other States and used by the Federal government in the erection of public buildings.

There are few building stones in the United States superior to it in beauty, durability and solidity. It is not poious or chalky. That the extreme cold did break several pieces is not denied but the cause is spparent to the merest uovice. All rocks without any exception are filled with what is known as "quarry sap," and if exposed to extreme cold immediately after being taken out will break. The simple fact is every stone that was broken by the frost was Quarried since December 30 and cut in the three days preceding the freeze.

Of course there was not time for this "ssd" to dry out and the stone being exposed on all sides the cold concentrated it in the center of them and then congealing it uurst them open. A pertinent fact in this connection is that not one of the hundreds of pieces cut prior to December 30 was broken. The correspond ent must have gotten his information from some person who "has an axe to grind," or he certainly would not have pronounced this stone unfit for the purpose intended, when from his office window be could see the maenifi- cent front of Walter store, and lie must have had his eves closed when he passed the county court house and Hannig's building and several other buildings here, which would do credit to any city, and the stone for which came from this same auarrv. The contractor is willing to submit the stone to all the tests known to science before any board of competent, unprejudiced men, but he protests against thus prejudging the case by parties who know nothing ebout build ing material and are ignorant of the facts, or who have some ulterior ob ject tosubseive. ery respectfully, H.

Few stomachs do not revolt at the mere thought of Castor or Cod Liver Oil, yet, when those appalling symptoms of decay appear, which physicians and patients alike know are unerring signs of greater waste of blood aud tissue than the nutritive powers are su Driv ing, Cod Liver Oil is the most trustworthy and effective remedy in the world.

But repugnance to its taste and odor reduce the nervous patient to despair. It is then that friends and doctor can do him the most inestimable kindness he has ever known, by telling him of Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the IlYpopnos-fqites of Lime and Soda; by truthfully assuring him of its entire freedom from unpleasant smell or odor; of its marvelous qualities as a nutrient, and the miracles it works, in giving tone and energy to stomach, nerve and brain. answering, he wished to cmsult his counsel.

E. W. Cave. Capt. Nelson Merrrll Dead.

Capt. Merrell, whose serious illness the Statesman mentioned a week ago. departed this life on Friday last at his home on Brushy, in the southwestern part of Williamson county, and on Saturday the remains of this gallant yeteran, one of the earliest settlers in this section of the State, were followed to the grave. Captain Merrell came to this place about the year 1837 or 1838, and joined the army of the Mexican Federation. He was one of the 107 men of the famous Jourdan retreat rrom Saltillo, in 1840.

Capt. Merrell married in Austin that year, and he and his bride, accompanied by Judge Joseph Lee and others of our city, im mediately set out on ponies for Lad's creek, a branch of Brushy, now called, we believe, Chandlers branch, where the new couple located and lived for thirty-eight years. Then herds of buffaloes covered the prairie9 and Indians were in full possession of the country. It was only here and there that the cabin of a white settler was to be found in the vicinity of the Colorado, above Bastrop. Capt.

Reuben Hornsby, whose death we an nounced on Sunday, resided on the Colorado about ten miles below Austin. He came to Bastrop in 1S30 and remained there two years when he located at the place he died, called Hornsby's bend. Capt. Hornsby was born in North Carolina, but moved to Mississippi and there married a Miss Sarah Morrison in 1810. One of his sons was killed by the Indians, as was Mr.

Itodgers, while attempting to carry a message on horseback from Capt. Hornsby's to Duty's cabin, three-quarters of a mile distant. Bands of Indiana threatened the inmates of both cabins and an effort to bring about a concert of action between the two resulted in the death of the man who attempted to carry the message on a fleet mare, which, gave out aud was overtaken by the In dians. The death of these noble men, who had so long been linked with the destiny of the country, 1 will bring sadness to the hearts ot many old settlers and even others who are familiar with the trying times of the pioneer days.

Reeves, of Tensas, chairman of the Democratic committee, testified in regard to the fusion organization in the parish, which included such Re publicans as Judge Cordell and Sheriff Register. After this we declined to appoint a committee to confer with Fairfax. Tbe differences that subsequently arose, I am convinced, did not arise from political causes. Capt. Peck visited Fairfax's house for a political purpose.

A rumor had sprsad that the color line was to be drawn and tbe people felt alarmed at the prospect. My opinion is that Peck went to Fairfax to expostulate with him and induce him to withdraw from Lis purpose of setting the blacks against the whites. His story of what occurred is well known. Capt. Peck was shot down and, in the fight that ensued, several negroes were wounded, one of whom afterwards died.

This was the starting point of the trouble, and the question became no longer a political one, but a contest between the wmies ana ine uiscks. The nesroes at once massed in large numbers and it became necessary to restore order. For this purpose Judge Cordell and Sheriff Register assembled a posse to put down the disturbance. Warrants were issued for the arrest of Fairfax, but they could not be served, on account of the negroes who flocked around him. All was peaceable and quiet on election day.

The opinion of the foreign press is largely quoted in comparison with the articles in tbe journals here, which seems to yield the curious result tht abroad there is more opposition to the Chancellor's bill than in Germany itself. There is certainly great oppo sition nere io me out, though, to the English mind, it is somewhat surprising to find SO much nnrnnr rniTr- mg in view of the fate which seems to threaten the freedom of speech and the liberty of the press.

The resumption of specie payments was a matter of general congratulation and was claimed as a measure origi nating with, and carried by the, Republican party, and which was successful, notwithstanding the persistent eiions oi ine Democratic party to defeat it.

The subject of protecting all citizens, particularly those of the South, in their rights nnder the ConJ stitution was discussed, all agreeing that the enforcement of law for this purpose would materially strengthen the party, which always advocated the doctrine of equal rights. London, January 11. The. Diily Ntws vBerlin special says that the proposed bill, practically abolishes all guarantees of the freedom of debate, and with it is in the power of a ma jority to turn any offending member over to the courts.
