OUB TEXAS LETTER.
THE GRAND WESTERN COUNTRY—THE
TEXAS DROUTH—SCOURGED MEMPHIS—
CROSSING THE FATHER OF WATERS
MEETING OLD ACQUAINTANCES, ETC.
Marshall, Texas, Aug. 14,1881.
Dear Times: Humanity, at least
in its individual character, is regula
ted by some inexplicable law ot mu
tual dependence which is neither to
be denied or avoided, and there are
none of us so exempt from its opera
tion that we may reject its teachings
or refuse obedience to its injunctions.
Hence, I send you some jottings by
the wayside from this marginal point
ot western migration which may dis
turb the present exodus from our
section or give it another direction.
Ido not meaa this Alter alone but
this, in connection with other truth
ful representations of the condition
and prospects of this country.
We left Montgomery on the night
ot the Utb of August instant, bound
for Carthage, in the county of Pano
la, Texas,—reached Decatur before
daylight, which coming on us with
its hot and sultry breath even in that
quasi mountainous region, caught
us approach ng Memphis through
portions of Alabama and Mississippi,
once garden spots,but now dried and
withered as if a sirocco had swept
over them. Nothing can be more
distressing than the condition of
crops, at least on the line of the
rail, through this stretch of table
land and lofty hills. The village of
Cherokee marks the boundary line
bate een Alabama and Mississippi
and where exactly we enter Tennes
see, I have now forgotten or failed to
learn. This condition of affairs con
tinues up to the Mississippi, and we
reached Memphis, sitting grim and
sultry and smoky beside the ‘‘fa
ther of waters,” but herself as dry
as If that father had deserted her. It
was a dusky throng that poured
out ©t the cars as we landed and
emptied itself into her various vehi
cles of hotel transportation. It was
only by the closest inspection that
friends and traveling companions
could recognize each other, and the
perfumed clerks who have charge of
the Peabody look suspiciously upon
the dirty crew and seemed loth to
assign them apartments. At last,
however.someot us found ourselves
in bath tubs full ot muddy.Misslssippl
water which has converted the whole
system of bathing here into what you
might term “chronic tepidity.”
You will not think it strange as I sat
in the comfortable room assigned
me, or watched the restless tide of
busy life struggling along the streets,
that memory reverted to the period
but three years before when, in that
very month, that house was a hos
pital, those streets abandoned and
death holding its high carnival in
poor, depopulated Memphis. Her
suffering was the first thing which
evoked a throb of sympathy from our
Northern brethren since the war; a
mighty charity exhibited itself in re
sponse to her cry for help, and ever
since the friendship between the sbc
tions has been growing gradually
stronger until, with one more gener
ation, the bitterness will have disap
peared and the work of honest rivalry
and competition for social and com
mercial prosperity will have destroy
ed the last vestige of the strife; at
least let us hope so. But no one
would have thought that the grim
skeleton had once walked thus mad
ly through her streets to look at
Memphis now in the noontide of an
August sun and see the active, rest
less enterprise of her citizens. lam
told she is a much cleaner city
now than before her great disaster.
Iftbisbetrui it is not wonderful
that the yellow fever or any other
epidemic should find a lodgment
there. To the stranger she seems
now a city of angles, suburban hovels
and filth. If some destroying ele
ment would sweep away all the filthy
hovels which line her suburban
streets it would be a blessing. No
doubt it is a very delightful place to
live, but “cleanse Memphis, cleanse
thyself,” should be the cry until th«
work is done. Did you ever notice
that the scenes of great disasters
have a peculiar fascination for those
identified with them; that the mur
derer will revisit the scene of the
homicide; the Italian rebuild upon
the spot over which the lava of Vesu
vius has run and our own people where
yellow jack has played bis most fan
tastic tricks? In 1853 the fever deci
mated Galveston and even in this re
mote part of Texas from wbieh I
write you, men speak of the Gulf
City as a perfect Elysium. It is well,
perhaps, or such places would cease
to exist. The crossing of the
train at Memphis excited my curi
osity very much. A boat has
been constructed for the purpose,
wide and strong, and with powerful
engines; two tracks are laid upon its
deck, upon which the train is pushed
on the one side and from wbieh it is
pulled on the other.the process seems
a delicate one, that more particularly
ot connecting the boat with the ter
minal points of the land rail, and
yet its method is so simple that ne
groes seem to manage it under the
supervision of the pilot, who watches
the process from bis elevated posi
tion, and with the mighty steam
power at his command, can resist
wind and current. lam told they

iest periods. 'Landed upon the wes
tern side of the grand old stream,
which one never sees without in
creased wonder at its size and vol
ume, the train plunges into the
swamps of Arkansas, through which
it runs, and night closes over you be
fore you quit its wild and impenetra
ble jungles. You reach Littlerock at
night. I have seen it by day, and it
is a beautiful city. The moon was
shining brightly and I could see
that it had grown almost beyond rec
ognition. By its light I could see the
line of palaces erected under Clay
ton’s carpet-bag rule upon-a line of
hills north of the city and was told
that his alone was occupied, the
balance having been deserted by the
plunderers who preyed upon Arkan
sas during the period of reconstruc
tion. Robbers, as such men wore
everywhere, their rule was not an un
mixed evil. They gave shape and
moiion to many enterprises which
have redounded to the public weal
and some of which will come to be
regarded ultimately as works ot public
utility. The immense railroad sys
tem which one first sees as existing
and projected, in this western coun
try, at this point, is wonderful. On
every hand you could hear, “train
from St. Louis,” train from this point
that and the other, until you could
conceive yourself as you really are,
in direct communication with the
whole system of railroads in the
Union. They talk in Littlerock of
going to St. Louis as you would of a
trpto Macon, and beyond still further
westward the star of railroad empire
is taking its way until little else is
talked of. If the system does not
collapse the network must increase
until this people will cease to travel
in any other way. But still the dread
ful drouth was on this fair land, and
as day broke upon us far on our way
towards Texarkana, the border town
of Arkansas we found the crops
blighted and withered by thedestroy
er. Men told me that upon land they
never failed to make two bales to
three acres, this year they would not
make a bale to twelve acres. The
corn looked better, for both here and
upon the adjoining lands of Texas
they can make corn with little rain,
but even this crop will be very short.
That the cotton crop will be a very
short one, there is no doubt, since
this drouth is so extensive. No rain
since May last is the cry. The coun
try between Littlerock and Texar
kana is the prettiest I have seen, but
the lands are so high that they do
not invite emigration. At Texar
kana and beyond on the road to
Marshall, where we soon found our
selves, begins the great lumber inter
est and to look at the Immense quan
tity piled along the track, one would
suppose that whole forests had been
demolished. This all goes to West
ern Texas—not a stick to the East.
At last tired, and dusty and hot we
reach Marshall the marginal point
of western migration as I have term
ed it, where we linger for a few
hours, only to observe that it is a
busy, restless population, prospec
tive emigrants themselves and look
ing towards Fort Worth and the
region beyond with El I’asso as the
objective point, as the land ot milk
and honey, soon to be filled and now
filling with an active, thriving, hardy
population, drawing from every
point of the compass and working
out its destiny midway between two
mighty oceans. I am impressed
with the grandeur of the conception
and the certainty ot a near and brils
liant future for this region when cot
ton has ceased to be King and men
look for something more certain and
remunerative. As one old fellow, on
his way with his son to this new land
told me—l have made cotton until it
has ceased to pay and now I am going
to locate my children.where they can
make something else. He told me
he had been in every northwestern
State and there was no such climate
and sountry on earth.
Carthage, August, 16th
Day before yesterday we landed in
this quiet Texas village where we find
so many old acquaintances, every
one of whom tell us they are doing
better than at home. Same have
acquired fortunes—all are making a
good living. The drouth is here too,
no rain since May, but nobody looks
discouraged and I think it is because
their corn cribs are not in Illinois
and Kentucky. I saw to day the
first ciib of uoshuoked corn for many
years. The Court is In session and
as I have time will send you some
more definite information f>r the
satisfaction of so many ot your read
ers. Capt. Bellamy’s thoughtful
kindness had sent “Happy bime
Ransom” with aback for us to Mar
shall and he talked us into such
merry mood that we forgot tbe dust
and best of a thirty miles trip in
August. Yours,
Russell.
Advice to European Travelers.
Now is the time when tbe annual
exodus from this country to Europe
begins, and as the cooking in many
parts of the old country is notorious
ly bad, travelers will suffer numer
ous and dreadful attacks of cholera
morbus, diarrhea, cramps and dys
entery. In order to avoid this suffer
ing, every tourist should have in his
satchel a bottle of Perry Davis’ Pain
Killer, a speedy, safe, and unfailing
cure for all disorders of the stomach.
All respectable druggists have it for
sale, and full directions accompany
each bottle.
POLITICS AT FEVER HEAT.
Tho Exciting Canvass in Progress in
Virginia-
A Lynchburg, Va., dispatch ot the
15th Inst., says, a young man will bo
inaugurated Governor ot Virginia
next winter. He will be 39 years old,
whether he be Cameron or Daniel.
It he should be a tall slender person,
with fair complexion, cheeks tinted
with color like a schoolboy’s, large
blue eyes, a face whose narrowness
is extended to the tip ot a long blond
goatee, then Col. Wm. E. Cameron is
Governor. If a pale man, tho white
ness ot whoso skin is brought more
conspicuously to notice by reason ot
the jet black hair that tails in pro
fusion back of his ears, beardless,
with dark eyes, lips that suggest un
usual and ready command ot lan
guage, of medium height, but with
broad shoulders, and the fulness
that hint at Content and good living,
and one foot encased in a shoe with a
cork sole two inches thick, then
Major John Warwick Daniel is the
Governor. These two candidates
look younger even than they are, and
ata distance Daniel seems a mere
boy with a man’s stature. If any
one is pleased when the canvass is
over, these two men will be. They
have both entered a campaign which
will require intense activity. They
must speak by day and night, must
travel by the dusty railroad and the
dustier stage roads thousands of
miles, must put up with the wretched
hospitality of many of tho Virginia
inns, must expose themselves to the
malarious and fever-breeding
swamp country, and to the exhaus
tions of sleeplees nights. Then, with
countless other annoyances will
theee two men work for tho honor ot
being Governor of Virginia, an office
which has little but honor attached
to it; for, aside from the veto power,
the Governor can do little but
recommend legislation and pardon
convicts.
A canvass in Virginia is no boy’s
play, and in a time like this, when
theßtate seems on lire with political
excitement, and when a great many
ot the voters seem to be going crazy
with tho Mahone epidemic, such a
canvass becomes doubly wearing on
brain and muscle.
If we take a look at one of the
great political gatherings—for in
stance, that at which both Daniel
and Cameron aro present—listen to
the speaking, and chat with the rich
and the voters who are present, we
can get to the bottom of this whole
remarkable state of affairs.
It is court dey over in one of the
towns in wlint Virginia call the Val
ley, and court day in Virginia is
something like circus day in the vil
lages of tne North. On tho broad bit
of common near the Court House a
platform has been erected, and
around it gather men. white and
black, women and children. The farm
ers have driven in from miles around,
and tho black men come trudging up
the cross roads arrayed in their Bun
day suits which aro covered with
dust.
Under a knot ot maples stands a
local colored voter, who needs only
the advantages of the schools to be
come a really finished speaker.
These colored men aro many of
them born orators, with a good deal
of power of picture painting, and a
wonderful facility for metaphors and
for mixing them. This orator is a
Readjuster, like a large majority of
his colored breathren. Now, aßaad
juster to these colored men does not
mean a debt sealer. The truth is,
the debt question excites little or no
interest among the colored men.
Most ot them are just shrewd
enough to see that their property will
not bo called upon to help the pay
ment ot the debt, because they have
no property to tax. The suggestion
that increased taxation means in
creased price fop the necessaries of
life is a principle ot political econo
my which is a little beyond them.
The only point connected with the
debt and the raising of money by
taxation which appears to interest
them greatly is tho school money.
They have very clear ideas about
this, and insist that there shall be no
payment for the support of schools
and teachers except in cash. No
coupons issued to pay tbe school ex
penses is their cry, and they believe
that unless the school money that
comes from the State treasury is
cash, the schools will either fall en
tirely or else become very bad, es
pecially in the matter ot teachers.
This very colored man is now telling
his colored friends, and a few white
men who are attracted by his pecu
liar eloquence, that the success of
the Readjustee party means cash for
schools, while the election of Daniel
will be followed by an indirect assult
on the schools, to be accomplished
by paying the bills in coupons. And
the black men show their white
teeth, and say “Dat’s so, dat’s so,”
and no amount of assurence and ar
gument can drive the idea from their
heads. '
Here is a white man, ot too courte
ous manner and respectable ap
pearence to be here drunk, one would
think. Yet he is very drunk, and he
goes around among the farmers,
saying, with redundancy of oaths,
tnat he has been a Republican since
the war, but that if the Republican
party goes over to Billy Mahone he
will vote for John W. Daniel as sure
as be lives. At last court kindly ad
journs for a while, because the hust
ings here are for tho time being
about as important in popular es
timation as the court, and the crowd
hasten around the platform. They
stand there patiently in the hot sun,
and their necks must ache by reason
ot the prolonged uplifting ot their
beads.
Major Daniel and 001. Cameron
are escorted to the platform, and tbe
impartial crowd cheer. 'The pale
young candidate advances to tbe
trontand opens, plunging into dis
cussion. He speaks for an hour. The
substance of all is this: He and bis
party are in favor, first, of paying
tbe debt in full; he is in favor of the
public schools, and, if elected, will
not allow them to fail tor want ot
support; and finally, he and bis party
are in favor of tbe amendments to
the Constitution of tbe United Staten
in which are engrafted the issues
which were decided by the abritra
ment of war. Major Daniel Is a good
stump speaker, but not bo good for
theee people as Capt. Johnß. Wise,
the son of Henry A. Wise of Accomac,
as the old Governor used to be known
in Virginia. Capt, Wise can tell more
anecdotes in one hour’s speech than
ever Senator Nye could on the stump
and some of his anecdotes are flavor
ed with the rather high seasoning
that Nye used to give his stories,
anecdotes that would hardly bear
printing. Daniel is earnest and logi
cal, but he is at a disadvantage be
cause is fighting a orazs, and epi
demics don’t yield greatly to argu
ment. Tbe best ho can hope to do
is to stop the epidemic. He handles
Cameron without gloves, and tho
blond candidate of the Readjusters
sits there smiling when his own for
mer debt-paying, anti-machine, and
anti-negro record is referred to.
Then his turn comes. Cameron is
a speaker ot the dashing sort, but us
for argument, that is an incident of
speaking which he seems to regard
of small eonsqueuce. But he twangs
the right chords) to flue responce in
these black breasts. lie pictured
Mahone to them as their Moses, and
the Readjusters movement as their
deliverance from ills which Mahone
and the Republican loaders have told
them they had, but which the most
careful examination of tho political
condition ot the negro here fails to
justify, except that one, a tew years
ago, under the lead of Senator Wil
liam Mahone and Col. William E.
Cameron, the Petersburg negroes
were most distressingly used. Ca
meron touches lightly on the debt
question, but be tells the repudiation
story in a single sentence. Ills par
ty believes in paying the debt., only
it believes in cutting the debt, about
half of what the figures show it to
bo.
These two speeches represent about
all the substance there is in thia ex
citing Virginia canvass. One candi
date is trying to stem a whirlwind
arising from Mahone’s playing upon
the passions and prejudices of au ig
norant and irresponsible class, the
other is trying to add force to that
whirlwind. When two cadidates had
finished, if you asked a Readjuster
who ho thought had made the speech
he would tell you that Cameron had
been unanswerable, and the debt
paying Conservative would say the
same thing of Daniel’s remarks.
The uncertain element in the can
vass is tho anti-Mabone Republican.
If there are enough of these who will
vote, Mahone is defeated. The bal
ance of power rests with them, and
hereafter Major Daniel will direct tho
canvass principally at this uncertain
element.
MURDER IN WALKER COUNTY.
A Father Murders His Daughter’s Il
legitimate Offspring.
From Mr. Chas. Whiteside the
Chattanooga Times learns of a hor
rible murder which was perpetrated
Friday nightin Walker county Ga.,
about seven miles from Chattanooga.
Sam Beason, his wife Mary and
his daughter Maltha were arrested
Saturday morning by the sheriff of
Walker county, on a charge of mur
der made by several negro women
living in the neighborhood, and a
jury of inquest with Mr. Tom Nevin
as foreman, summoned to investigate
the case, which developed the fol
lowing facts:
Friday night Martha was delivered
of an illegitimate child, whose father
is of one of the best families ot that
vicinity, and who, it is believed, was
indirectly a party to the crime. As
soon as the child Was born, Sam, the
father of its mother, took it about 50
yards from the house and strangled
it to death with an apron string, and
after crushing its skull hurried it.
When arrested he told where the child
was burned, but claimed it was born
deal. His wife, however, turned
State’s evidence and swore the , child
was alive when born, and that her
husband, when he took it from the
bed, remarked that it was alive, but
he would fix it. He and his wife were
jailed ar. Lafayette, to await the ae
ilonofthe courts.
A warrent was issued for the ar
rest of the ather. He, however, fled
the country, and is now pursued by
Wm. Poe and Lud Sample.
AH ABLE FALL.
Washington, Aug. 18—Capt. How
gate’s fall has let in light on forbid
den things in connection with tho
public service in Washington, and
exposed some things that could not
be nakedly set forth. Still the car
tain has been withdrawn bur, just a
little. Until quite lately he was tho
disbursing officers ot the Signal Ser
vice, and when Gen, Myer died he
aspired to be his successor. Within
tho last two months asocial scandal
has let to his enforced resignation.
The rightful Mrs. Howgate became
possesed of the knowledge that there
was another establishment. As few
of Uieso scandalous particulars as
possible have b°en given, but enough
to show, what The Sun has icpeated
ly stated ns one of the characteristics
of the public service, that tho mis
tresses ofoffleers and others are boine
on tbe rolls of departments, and that
the wagon of sin are paid out of the
public Treasury, duly certified by
heads of departments or other re
sponsible officers of the Government.
Howgate’sisa comparatively in
significant euse. Tbe difference is,
it has become known.
He is a defaulter in a sum ranging
between fifty and a hundred thous
and dollars. It is already establish
ed that two women drew money di
rectly which was charged to tbe Sig
nal Service fund, for which they are
not known to have rendered any ser
vice. One of them is tbe woman in
the Howgatecase; tbe other is suffi
ciently known to establish all that
any decent man wants to know. It is
not probable, however,that it will ev
er be known bow many fallen women
were supported iu this way. No one
doubts that the number is very con
siderable. If the heads of depart
ments aro Ignorant of it, is to their
discredit. It is there as much aS
anywhere the crying shame is. Tho
presumption is, it is a species of
knowledge no one wishes to be
possessed of.
Perhaps Capt. Howgate was sub
jected to less than the usual over
sight. If this Is not the fact, then
there is a fault in the method ot dis
bursing money that ought to be
cured. Certain checks there are as
to money. But what checks are there
as to immorality and vice ?
A pretty girl out West told her beau
that she was a mind reader. “You
don’t say so!” heexclaimed. “Yes,”
said she, “you have it in mind to ask
me to be your wife, but you are just
a little scared at the idea.” Their
wedding cards are out,— Detroit Free
Press.
Smoking In Presence of Women.
The women who does not require
of a man the form of respect, invites
him to discard the substance; and
there is one violation of the form
which is recent and gross, and might
well be cited as a striking illustra
tion in the decay of manners. It is
the practice of smoking inlthe the so
tciety of ladies in public and private
places, whether driving, or walking,
or sailing, or sitting. There are preux
chevailiers who would be honestly
amazed if they were told they did not
behave like gentlemen, who, sitting
with a lady on a hotel piazza, or
strollingin a public park, takeout
a cigar, light it, and puff as tranquil
ly as if they were alone in their rooms.
O ' a young man comes along upon
the deck of a steamer and blows
the clouds of tobacco smoke in their
faces, without even remarking that
tobacco is disagreeable to some peo
