As to the ticket which has been nom
inated : It is one of undoubted strength.
As above said, it is next to the strong
est that could have been nominated,
(len. Ewing was a gallant Union gen
eral ; he is atme Democrat ; he is able
and brillianCa fine campaigner, thor
oughly skilled in the use of the- weapons
of debate; npon the stump he can easi
ly overmatch Ids adversary, who is
represented to be an ineffective speaker,
urp than this": Gen. Ewing's financial
ideas are in accord with those. of the
great mass of the people of 6hio ; he is
a soft rather than a hard money man,
;ind if the Greenbaekers do not unite
ii a party upon him they will at least
give him a great many votes. Like
K wing Jiiee was also, a Union general ;
he is aor exngressman, at man of per
Konal purityuid If personal and politi
cal strength, We reiterate that the Ke
publicans will find this ticket difficult
to defeat. It is not so formidable as
Thurman and Ewing would have prov
en, for their names jointly upon the
ticket would have been a sure augury
of victory, but it is a powerful ticket
nevertheless.
The victorv of the Democratic ticket
in Ohio next fall will be a soft money
victory and will indicate the nomina
tion for the presidency of a soft money
Western Democrat either Thurman or
Hendricks; this result will be render
ed all the more certain if we lose !Sew

enacted by Congress which, under the
pretence oi regulating congressional
elections, interfere with the election of
State officers and overthrow the laws of
States governing the choice of such offi
cers, are unconstitutional and ought to
be repealed. It demands a cnange in
the Federal jury laws, so mat juries
cannot be packed and controlled oy tne
government for despotic and partisan
purposes as heretofore. It charges that

cause of any differences of opinion be

by which an appeal to the country can
be had, and it is for the people to de
cide whether the. presidential veto has
been wisely used defeat-tbe will of

ty ot-the people.
Hampton proceeded to say that he
had no intention to embarrass the ad
ministration, and although he consider
ed the provisions of the bills just, he re?
cognized the difficult position in which
the executive found himself. Mr.
Hampton's people remembered that in
a critical period of their history, when
any injudicious action would have been
fatal, the President, by a conscientious
construction of his duty, removed the
United States troops from Louisiana
and South Carolina, thus enabling the
people to restore their local govern-,,
ments to those who represented the pop-,
ular wilr. For this wise, patriotic ac
tion, he was grateful, and while it
would be his duty to oppose the policy
of which the President was the repre
sentative, that opposition should not
be captious, nor such as to drive the
President into a coalition with tnose
who would madly trample on the rights
of the people in their struggle to retain
power. Mr. Hampton said his party
was denounced ror wismng to restrict
the Federal use of troops, but men high
in the Republican party, whose words
he quoted, had also pointed out and de
nounced the danger and abuses of such
use. It was not the immediate action
of the army that he feared, but the ulti
mate effects of its misuse, ana he wouia

tion of the President in criticising as

methods and practices of Congress, and
said it was not incumbent upon the
President to interest himself in parlia

Br acketts viLLE, Texa&, May 2fl.
To the Editor of The Observer:
If a few lines on Western Texas, the
surrounding country, etc., will be of
any interest to your many readers, and
you think it worthy of notice, the same
is willingly enclosed. In consequence
of the vast territory in Texas I am
forced to concentrate my remarks'prin
cipally on the particular section in
which I now reside;
Brackettsville,more commonly known
as Fprt Clark, is situated in the extreme
western portion of Texas, about nine-;
teen njiles; from Mexico and the Bio
Graride Biver, with a beautiful grazing
country surrounding, which is adapted
principally to me reusing oi sneep anu
cattla Parties are migrating here from
all sections of the country and from
England Some turn to the raising of
cattle, sheep, &c. while others go a lit
tle farther on and try their fortunes in
the mines of .New Mexico.
Cattle are never fed but live off of
grass entirely, roaming from one coun
ty to another. It is often the case that
one man's cattle may be in four coun
ties at ohce, Then herdersl foUow up
the trail and drive them home again.
These herders are known as cow boys,
and they are the roughest set of men I
have ever seen, attributable, I suppose,
to the rough manner in which they live,
A pair of high heel boots, leather
breeches, blue shirt and a wide brim
Mexican hat constitute the dress of the
cow boy. They visit to wn during court
or any other big day in this ' country.
They generally get very much intoxi.
cated and tnust exhibit their horseman,
ship oy riding in the saloon, up steps or
short stairways, and after they nave
become sufficiently tired of that partic
ular place they force the keeper to close
up by shooting the lights out. These
characters, though noisy and trouble
some, are not necessarily dangerous and
I do not think they would willingly in
j ure an innocent man. After they have
caroused around and made an endless
amount of noise, and their ammunition
exhausted, to avoid arrest they hurry
to their respective ranches, and the
town again falls into its old monoton
ous quietude.
The population of this county is in
creasing yearly. Only a few years ago
the inhabitants were in constant agita
tion and excitement caused by numer
ous depredations, raids and murders.
At that t!me one knew not when his
head or his property was his own, but
the presence of State rangers to check
such lawlessness and the constant in
crease of settlers have caused a radical
change, until now one feels compara
tively safe. Brackettsville, once a home
and resort for desperadoes, thieves and
murderers, is now a quiet little town,
with a population not exceeding 2,000,
half of which are Mexicans. The town
is built on the Mexican style, with
plazas oy triangle spaces instead, oi
squares. The greatest number of houses
are the ' Adaby, with flat straw roof a
peculiar kind qf straw, grows wild and
ever remains in a state of preservation
afte beug cut, The houses .have no
Soors other than the naked earth, neither
o they have chimneys. A hole cut in
tb corner 'Qf the straw roof is intended
as .a substitute for chimneys, Fires for
cooking purposes and warmth are.built
inside the houses on the ground and the
smoke arises to pass through the bole
in the comer of the roof. . One would
thhk. these straw -or grass ropf houses
is seldom: the case. The ' Mexicans- are
the principalinbabitanf sf these houses.
