DEPARTMENT NOTES. A8SKSSMEXTS, CHARTERS, ETC. PollowiDftthe attempted arrest of tie governor Tuesday, by United States Marshal Tracy, matters resumed their usual quiet ejrain yesterday. The governor, especially, was as compla cent as if nothing had occurred to disturb his general eereniiy. The impression is that without any intention to do so, he succeeded admirably In bluffing the marshal, which is no small exploit even for a governor of rexas, considering the power wnicn is Bupposed to back officials of the United btates government.

From 1874 to this time twenty-one million two hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars (21,223,000) of taxes have been assessed and net collections of the assessment are Bixteen millions seven hundred and thirtv-nine thousand dol lars Twenty per cent, of the whole assessment represents the difference between that amount and the amount collected. In this twenty per cent. 13 included the cost of assessing and collecting, the losses from erroneous assessments, from insolvents, from purchases by the state at tax sales, and sales under execution, and loss by defaulting collectors.

The state land board, to meet cases i requenuy arising from their action, nave ruled that where parties have leased lands from the state, some of which are subsequently purchased of the state for occupancy by actual settlers, the lessees must prove that such purchasers have actually moved upon the lands and settled upon them as bona fide occupants, before the lessees will be entitled to have their lease payments pro-rated and monev returned for the sections so occupied by actual settlers. So far the board has received only a few bids to lease or purchase school lands at their next meeting to make awards. The bids are mostly by actual settlers to purchase one or two sections, each at the usual prices.

Tha following are the latest bids for school hinds received by the secretary of the state land board: Edwards county JVU'iX Cottle Euciiial Zapata oinAiiche Masou Handera MeCuUoch Brown Archer Colvnian Blanco Presidio Baylor Eastland In Motley county the Continental Cattle company bids for lease of 34 watered sections at 20 cents an acre and 58 dry sections at 8 cents an acre. In Hall county the same company bids to lease 12 watered and 103 dry sections at tne same enures as above. In same county, James Cooper bids to lease 5 watered sections, at 20 cents, and 18 dry sections at a cents per acre. Some of these bids being for lands for which 4 cents had been formerly bid and overruled, indicates that the bidders in sucn cases nave auauuoneu tha Idea of controverting the action of the land board in rejecting their nrevious bids: or, what is not unlikelv. thev expect their pres ent bids to ba reiected.

and thereby have stronger trrounds to contest the rulinirs of the board and the constitu- tionalitv of their action in the pre mises. It is not improbable that the bids will be again rejected either on account of their occupying too much ot tne county unaer one enclosure (the land bid for all being so enclosed in one nuge pasture on uotn sides or creeks) and thus cutting off too much of the water facilities from public use; or they may be rejected unless the bidders choose to ante-date the effect of their present 8 cents bid back to the date of their original bids at 4 cents. LETTER FROM THE COMPTROLLER. United States District Attorney Evans, having addressed some questions to the comptroller, as to supposed ahge deficits in collectors accounts under democratic administration, the coniptroOtf "answered in effect that the deficiency charged against ex-Comptroller Brown is about (or which judgment bad been obtained from defaulting collectors is one hundred and twentv-four thousand and so it appears the losses from democratic and republican col lectors from 18 ,4 to 18S3. is less what is vet to be paid into the treasury.

Rector called the con vention to order, and stated that me object of the meeting was to name eleven delegates and eleven alternates to the repub lican state convention at Houston, ana twenty -two delegates to the con gressionai convention at toan Antonio, He then announced nominations for chairman of the convention to be ia order.

W. H. Holland was placed in nomi nation by what are known as the "outs," and Rev Morris, of the Austin m. J2i. Church, bv the "ins The roint involved in the contest was whether or not the manner in which the last countv convention was manipulated Dy ine uetiress taction should be in dorsed.

The action of the "ins" in indorsing certain independent can didates was not the point, as a vast majority of the convention, with the exception of a small faction led bv Dr. Phillips were in favor of this, but.to repeat, it was whether or not the means employed were just and proper. The county had been thorouarb.lv canvassed and the result was significant.

The amount cr ine aeiauic or late Comptroller W. M. Brown, is 5,677.50, an account for which was, made against him and placed in the hands of the attorney-general for col lection. Iam informed that a judgment in favor of the state has been entered in the district court for Travis county, but that Mr. Brown and his sureties have taken an appeal.

No part of the amount has yet been paid. I have no information that criminal proceedings have been taken, or are contemplated against mm. a. since the inauguration or uov. Coke, in January 1874.

there has been assessed, in ad valorem and poll taxes, and collected ia occupation taxes, 821,223.344, to August 31, 1883. the date of the last complete report from this office. 3. Of the amount assessed as above, the records show that there has been actually collected and paid into the treasury, to August 31, 1883, the sum of The charter of the Spring Lodge Universal Benevolent Association of America, of Sherman, Texas, was filed yesterday with the secretary of state. Assessments of Delta county show $21,543 increase in values.

The comptroller deposited with the state treasurer receipts from school land sales for the several accounts named, as follows: For permanent school fund $17,499 available school fund T.ni bliud asylum tund 109 luuatic asylum fund 1R1 deal and dumb asylum 125 permanent university fund 507 available university fund 276 Total S26.432 The books of the comptroller for the month had not been balanced yes-1 terday, but it is estimated that the fiscal year closes with a gross revenue balance of about 8200,000, subject to payments of about S40.000 for monthly salaries to be paid ju.onu.iy denounced Marshal Gosling's candidacy for congress. He said that a few years ago Gosling was running an independent paper, and was now clamj orousfor a straight nomination instead lof a simple" endorsement. He asked why Gosling had not then favor ed a straight ticKet. He told the col ored brothers of the convention that Gosling had said to a San Antonio policeman, that he didn't get his position' through the "niggers," and didn't give a for them; that Rogers would swear to the fact of this statement; he said that Judge Rector's position wa3 understood and he was known to the people. Schneider said further that he was opposed to an office-holder running for any position.

and that if Col. DeGress (postmaster) should be nominated by a convention for anything while in a federal position, he. (Schneider) would bolt the convention and vote against its nominee, on principle. He seemed to be opposed to the in dorsing of independent candidates for countv offices and favorable to a straight republican ticket. He said: "The democratic candidates are good enough republicans for me, when we cannot beat them with straight republicans." He charged Sheriff Hornsby with inaction in the case of Amanda Peeples, the oid colored woman who was shot in the leg, accidentally, Dy some party or parties coming in from Scholz's garden, some time since; he said that the subsequent conviction of Messrs.

Brumby aud HUlyer tor the offense of discharging Cre-arms in the city limits, was a virtual indictment for theshooting of AmandaPeeples.and that the proper county officials (including Hornsby) bad taken no action whatever ia the premises. He asked if such would have been the case if it had been a white woman who was shot. Instead of doing their duty in such cases, he said, the county officials devoted their time to arresting poor gamblers who had made nothing for the past nine months. He paid his compliments to tne young democracy by saying tnat whenever a speech was cauea ior, Gov. Lubbock came to the front; he was a young democrat just come into the field; and Tom Sneed he was an old stand-by.

He said the ciud had had a voung man for a president but he had iound himself too young and resigned, and the club called Tom Sneed to the front. "Good Godl if, these are young ones, I'd like to see the old ones." He said that the republicans could get away with the young bloods, or kids, but that Sneed, and Terrell were what got away with them. Mr. Schneider said, he owed his allegiance to no taction oi the party, and urged the necessity of harmony upon the convention. He sailed into the spoils system ana declared that the plan of collecting 10 25 50 on up to 820, as well as the "nigger whiskey' scheme had played out.

He urged the colored men to De guided Dy principle ana to accept money from no one. Returning to Gosling, he said he whs too young in the party ask for a congressional nomination. If he wanted to do anything for the "grand old party" the party that was putting bread and butter in his mouth he might stump the state for Blaine and Logan, or the district for Judge Rector. He said Judge Rector intended meeting Joe Sayers and his free trade policy on the stump, and that when he got through with Say er3 there would not be much left of him, his policy, or of the young democracy. col.

leader, in response to calls, came to the front. He said he was a republican all over; that he had been baptized a republican at the birth of the nartv. He devoted most of his remarks to the denonciation of Cleveland and other democratic lead ers, and to the defense of Blaine from his "calumniators." He denounced the independents in most uncompro mising and uncomplimentary terms COMMITTEE REPORT. At the conclusion of Col. Leader's homewhat lengthv remarks, the com mittee entered the room and through their chairman.

Mr. E. C. Bartholo mew, made the following report Hou. W.

H. Holland, Chairman of the Con yeutiou. Sir: Your committee appointed to recommend 11 delegates and li alter nates to the state republicau conven tion, to be held at Houston on septem ber 2, and 22 delegates to the con gressional convention to be held in San Antonio oa the 10' day of September, respectfully submit the following list of delegates and alternates to the state convention: Delegates W.

Some colored brother offered the following resolution, which brought about a crisi3 in the convention Resolved, That the convention heartily endorse the nomination of Blaine and Logan, and pledge our best ertorts to give them the electoral vote or Texas. Resolved, That we endorse in full the platform as adopted by the republican national convention at Chicago. Resolved, That the convention endorse the nomination for county officers as made at the republican county convention hela in Smiths opera house, August 9, aud that we will use our best efforts to secure its success. DeGress moved to adjourn. 1 iost.

"Division from DeGress. Holland" I he chair has decided." Jackson fcol.1 moved to cancel every thing after the endorsement of Blaine and Logan. This created considerable consterna tion Rev. Henrv Dickerson. (col:) from Walnut creek, took the floor in sup port of Jackson's motion.

He did not want to swallow tne ac tion of such a convention as the one which had met in Smith's opera house. J. M. HOLLAND'S RESOLUTION, The following substitute for the en tire resolution, offered by J. M.

Hoi land, but read bv J. D. Cassady, pro duced a profound sensation, and stood the convention on its head: Whereas, A large majority of the republicans ot Travl3 county iavor the nomination of a regular re publican countv ticket, that the pol icy of the national republican party and the views of Mr. Blaine and the other distinguished leaders ot the party mav be carried out: and, 4 Whereas. The convention which was held in Smith's ooera-house.

on the 9th of August, being called for that purpose, but having been prevented from carrying out the intended object ot the convention bv the corrupt co alition of federal officials and local office-seekers, aided by those who have no nxed principles, and wno attended the convention for the purpose of forcing republicans to accept a ticket which is not in accord with their prin ciples; and. Whereas. The partial, untair. unjust and corrupt manner in which said convention was conducted, demands immediate redress; therefore be it Resolved by the repubucans of Travis countv in mass convention as sembled. That the action ot said con vention ot the 9th or August, 1884, be declared null and void and ot no bind ing enect upon the republicans of Ira vis county, and Is hereby revoked.

and that this convention now proceed to the nomination of a regular repub lican county ticKet. This was the crisis. The substitute was loudly cheered, every delegate in the house was on his feet, and the scene was one of the wildest confusion. Judge Rector, the only man in the convention who could have done so. threw hlmstlf in the breach and pre vented the passage ot the substitute He urged harmony.

He said there was devilment in that motion, and its defeat was worth nve hundred votes to the republican party. Referring to the independents on the republican ticket, he defended them. He asked what politics was if it was not to call in your friends to help you to do what you could not do yourself. In conclusion, he moved to lay Hoi land's motion on the table, which was carried. The vote then recurred on the orig inal resolution, whicn was carried, after which a motion to adjourn sine die prevailed.

DOTS. A colored man, with Indian blood and long hair plaited down each side, and tied with a red string, was one of the features of yesterday's convention. The colored people of the conven tion were as docile as so many lambs, with Holland in ithe chair. Thev seemed to be satisfied that they had at least secured justice in a republican convention in Travis county. Chairman Holland's rulings were fair and impartial.

Col. Leader didn't take any dish in the selection of delegates to either convention. Wonder if he is laying for Rector, in the event he goes in on an indorsement instead of a regular nomination Miscellaneous Notes. Rev. Dr.

Henry M. Scudder, of Chicago, who was for many years a missionary in India, expresses the opinion that "for unmixed wickedness and utter moral depravity no city of Asia could equal Chicago or New York and that this continent has a class of villains "lower and meaner than the lowest and meanest In India or China."

If the bees them selves strike the passer-by he will be very apt to grumble at the vagaries of fashion. Stej) by step the leading: food prod ucts ot Europe are being reproduced in this country. Macaroni is made by Italians in Sfew York.

Keufchatel cheese by Swiss in Xew Jersey, Schweitzer kse by Germans in Ohio, Albert biscuit Dy iinffiishmen in Al bany, caviare by Russians in Harlem. Nearly all of these are exported to Europe, and there sold as domestic manufactures. The wages of a gang of Italian la borers, near Saratoga, were recently cut down 10 cents a day. Instead of striking they cut an inch off their shovel blades at night. The boss asked what it meant, and one of the menreplied: "Not so much pay.

not so much dirt lift; all right, job last the more long; Italian no tool like Irish man; he no strike. It is believed that artifiicial tails may be grown on animals, since the Chinese have succeded in raising gold fhh with exceedingly long caudal appendages. It is possible that this trick was known to the pre-historic man, and that Darwin's ancestors were only men, after all, with artificially grown tails. In an admirable paper on cremation ana cholera, in the Pall Mall Gazette, Edgar Shephard, M. D.

C. says that every great city should have a crematorium outside its walls, and that its use should be enforced by law in all cases of death by infectious disease. In view of the threatened epi demic of cholera, he considers this course as a sanitary necessity. This is an argument that even the most sentimental will find it diflicult to answer. Horses are not injured by labor any moiethan men, and it is only by expos ure, over exertion and neglectr that they become jaded out at a time when they should be in their best condition for usefulness.

When men learn to humane for the blessings which come from it, which i3 always a paying investment, in both the satisfaction it affords and the money profit, there will be less "scrub" horses in our coun try. A horse should not be sold until he is twenty at least, and, and there are many Instances where they have kept their vigor far beyond these ytars in the hands ot caretul masters. Liberal Use of IJauk Funds in Time of Panic, From the New York Tribune. Among the wise things said at Sa ratoga was the observation of Presi dent Gage on the policy of a liberal use ot the cash reserves in time ot panic. Experience has conclusively shown that when the banks of the reserve cities contract their loans in time of stringency their whole influence is really exerted to aggravate the panic it should be their main function to prevent Yet the liberal loan policy hat seldom beea pursued save by the bank of England, though, as President Gage says, the New York banks oc cupy a position analogous to tnat oi the institution named, and if they do not relieve the pressure they may in tensity the panic.

But it is clear that betore the liberal policy can be adopted there must be such changes as will strengthen the banks in panic times, Jieretotore one ot their cmet hinder ances has been that their methods of business haye tended to dissipate their funds unduly during the incipient stages of panic, so that when the se vere pressure come they iouna them' selves dangerously extended and were driven to contraction in self-defense, ust when they should have been able to go to the assistance of their clients and customers. President Gage suggests as precau tionary measures the keeping of larger reserve than zo per cent. Dy Danss in reserve cities, repeal of the usury laws, removal of the restrictions im posed on the national Danits, ana tne adoption of some uniform practice in lending freely out of the cash reserve in time of panic The last suggestion can hardly be enforcecL-because every bank must finally be controlled Dy tne state of its own business, and no rule can apply to diverse conditions. The other points may be utilized, and that regarding the increase of the reserve will perhaps have to be adopted. The Post takes to itself the credit of Ireland's renomination.

Prof. Phares' book ou 'Southern Grasses" shows to the most casual observer that it is in these latitudes te must must look for the richest and most abundant grasses.

The Bermuda, the alfalfa, the Johnson giass. red clover, all the standard iorage. grows here in its greatest, nrn. fusion and under the most favorable conditions. Our native grasses excel in quantity and nutritive properties those of the north; while as to horses and cattle it is notorious that they can be raised here at less expense than in Kentucky and in equally good form.

In times past, who of the great breed- nf 1 -i cia ui ivcuiuunv ur vntniua ever pro duced finer stock, more beautiful and enduring animals, more perfect racers than Mr, Duncan P. Kenner. otZLoui- siana? Who, even in these days, Hhen the business has been almost. abandoned in these parts, has achieved greater success than Col. Wm.

Cottrill, oi iuoDiie This talk about the unfitness of the south for stock raising and dairy in- uuuiry is sneer nonsense ana rigmarole. We have a climate similar to that in which the finest results are obtained in Africa and Asia. We have every natural advantage in our favor. We need only the faith, the courage and the information. This latter need the cattle and dairy exhibit next winter will supply.

The exposition management have offered such liberal inducements that we may expect a thoroughly comprehensive display. Parties at the north are organizing an association for the purpose of securing this end, not only as to cattle and dairy products, but as to all the apparatus and improved mechanisms in use oy the successtui and progressive producers ot the country. Uur south ern farmers will do well to giye these exhibits a studious and careful investigation. We are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars every year for tne protection or worthless stock, land paying incalculable amounts for con densed milk and the rubbish known as butter, when we could not only supply ourselves but institute profit able competition with the north for out side supply. Let us see that the exposition lesson is taken to heart bv our people.

Let us endeavor to cast aside the foolish heresy that our sunny and beautiful southland is fit for nothing but cotton. Let us diversify our industries and multiply our products so that wealth and independence and comfort may come to us as it does to the northern and western farmers, and our fortunes be no longer dependent upon a single crop or the emergencies of a single season. The exposition will teach us many valuable and instruetive lessons see that they do not fall upon deaf ears or appeal to sluggish and inert intellects1 ST. O. Times-Democrat.

ance to the southern people will the cattle and dairy exhibits at the World's Fair. 1 hese branehe3 of industry have been sadly neglected at the south. We are a people too much given to concentrating ourselves upon a single object. We have made a specialty of raising cotton, neglecting the small grains, grasses, true kfarm-Jng, stock raising, fruit growing, and all the other industries by which northern agriculturists acquire inde- and accumulate iortunes. There has been a foolish and unfounded idea that the south is not adapted Mrs.

E. M. King, honorary secretary of the Rational Dress association, which has for the last two or three years been exciting some curiosity in England, says a Montreal special td the New York Times has arrived in this city, having come over on the steamship Vancouver. In conversation with a Times' correspondent, Mrs. King stated that her object in coming to this country was primarily to at tend the meetings of the British association.

She also hoped to disseminate her views on the subject of dress re- orm both in Canada and the United States. Mrs. King is quite an interesting woman, pleasant and intelligent; she speaks wen and is very enthusiastic on the subject ot her pet hobby. She is rather short of stature, but with a finely developed physique, which speaks well for her theory. She is 52 years old and is the mother of stveral children.

She wears her hair, which is vet scarcely tinged with gray. short, and arranged in a somewhat masculine style. Mrs. Kings dress at nrst sight seems to have nothing startling in it, appearing to consist only ot a loose flowing vest and basque and short draped skirt. She explained its mysteries, and, lifting her skirt, showed the correspondent that she wore trou sers, raking a modest glance at those garments, the correspoudent saw that they were made of the same material as the wearer dress, trimmed also in the same fashion, Mrs.

King's idea being to do away with all super fluous petucoats, wnicn impede tne freedom ot the lower limbs, or, as Mrs. King calls them plainly legs, and thus interfere with the health and strength of women. Mrs. King worked for some time in unison with Lady Haberton. who was one of the first to take up the subject of dress reform in England, but differences of opinion arose, and the two ladies though it best to separate.

Mrs. Deiieves calling; a spade a spEde, and insisted on speaking of her trousers as trousers, while Lady Haberton preferred the less startling appellation of a "divided skirt." Mrs. King thinks that though the word trousers may sound strange and struck some ladies, it is the only correct one, and that these trousers should be worn instead of petticoats, and that over this should be worn the dress, so as not to be too great a shock to the weak nerves of public opinion, though she has no doubt that the day will yet coma perhaps not in her time, nor even in hei children's when women will wear skirts which will not come below the knees, the lower part of the legs being covered with some style of trousers. Clothing consists of two parts- dress and drapery. The first named, being for utility, should conform to the outlines 01 tne ngure; anu wuat, she pathetically asks, is more beautiful among all God's created things than the figure of a woman? The drapery, she says, may oe safely left to the individual taste of the for she is surely that though she herself may not have the knack of making the dress attractive, the love of prettiness born in most women will soon assort itseii; oesiaes whinh thev have the added beauty of better health and the graceful freedom nf limb which a more rational moae nf dress would give.

Especially to young girls, on whom depends tne welfare of the coming generations, Anpa Mrs. Kiner wish to make it clear that because thev adopt a styie 01 dress which is healthful and comfortable, they need not necessarily sacrifice heautv. but auite tne contrary, iu.ro. Kino-savs that coming out of the Vancouver they had "ladies' evenings," dnriner which she ueuvereu an aa- riress on her views of dress reform. and succeeded in horrifying her ladyl fellow passengers to an unheard of extent, which is easily Deuevea 11 she appeared before them in the semi-masculine toilet she wore be fore vour correspondent.

'ihis lady says that she has many corres pondents in tne states, bouhj oi wnoui have organized a dress exhibition, to beheld in San Francisco this falL This will be somewhat similar to the exhibition that Mrs. King had in Lon don, at which, she says, there were 10,000 paying visitors. It is not, however, only to women that she ad dresses herself, but also to the sterner sex, in whose costume she sees much that needs reform not, perhaps, on the ground of utility, but on that of beauty of outline and coloring; and, indeed, she asserts that many men are members of her society, not only because they wish to see their wives and daughters become healthier and Fn r.t.. only 2 blocks trom street loLsesi vi to $250 call and see plat. 86 Valuable avenue lot.
