TEXAS PA8TIMES. ^ Tuiri.t: Traukuv.?Galveston, Abril 16.?A ^ special from San Antonio to I lie Xrus, dated April 1 ">, gives the details of a horrible triple murder about seven miles fiom that city. John Simmons, a heavy stock owner, left his home on Sunday. Yesterday his herder, named J. S. I'll i I lips went out with sheep. About noon .Mrs. Simmons avivs found lying in the herder's room with her throat cut and her body bearing evidences of an outiugeous assault. An alarm li was given, and soon after the b:? i *s of Mrs. Simtuotis's child ami her mother, Mrs. I'ar- ? ker, were fouu I at the fool of an embankment one hundred yards from the house, their skulls being crushed in with a rock. The herder seems to think that Simmons was the murderer, hut ? he himself was arrested and committed without bail. Six Mks Shut. ?

ISluloek, nt Martin's Depot, 1.aureus > I'onnty, was set tire to and burned. The barn ? was near the dwelling house, so near that the inference was that it was the purpose of the in ccudiary to burn the dwelling-house too. Mr Hlaloek made investigatisns which satisfied liiui that the incendiary was a negro woman named Judy Metis, living on his place. On Saturday, the 'Jlh itist., he went to Trial Justice N. S. liar ris, at ?*1 iiiton. a:id swore out a warrant against s the woman. The trial justice placed the warrant t in the hands of Constable Samuel (Jury, who or- f rested Judv Melts at Martin's Depot, about 8 , o'clock, on Saturday night, and started with Iter , to Clinton. Two miles above Martin's Depot and opposite Mr. II. M. Hunter's, a party of men on horseback overtook the constable and , his prisoner. The party were disguised, having cloth over their laces, with eyeholes to see 1 through. Some of the party took charge of the I constable and others took the prisoner, and car ried them oil in tlillcreut directions. The eon stable says tlint lie was kept about an hour and was then told to "git," which lie accordingly did without delay, going to Clinton. The woman was found the next morning about two hundred yards from where the lynchers took Iter, banging about twenty tVet from the ground by the neck to a tree, dead. I'arties who examined the rope sav that it was tied in a regular hangman's knot. She was cut down on Sunday. The cor oner's impiest on Monday returned a verdict that she came to her death by hanging at the hands of persons unknown to the jury. She was buried on Mcnday by the colored people. The woman leaves a husband and children. This saute woman was accused twoycarsiigo of burn i tig the d welling-house of a Mr. Simpson, but she was never tried for it. ? Sjicriul to X.u.t oik!

So let him 1 like timely warning -we have had about enough ' f hiin. So, Mr. Stokes, remember I he good old ; (lying VKIU* SAT SAT I ffect of Lien* on labor. Our esteemed contemporary, tlie Marion Mcr~ itinl ami Farmer, make* a centre ahol at the ieu law, in noticing the great increase of liens tcordcd in that County o'er last year, when it iys: "The increase is chiefly owing to the inreused number of irresponsible colored inen, eretofore laborers, who hare become farmers, he tendency is rapidly in this direction, and we redict tiiat< within five years, unless the lien iw he repealed, such labor as un be had for ages will not be worth employBg." In this County, we are pleased 4o find, instead f an increase over last ycnr, thuk is a decided ecrense in the number of liens reporWcrf. Last ear there were 1,63V, while this year they arely number 1200. The amounts for which liey are given this year range from $7 to ?1,000 -only two for the latter amount?and most of Iicm arc given for rent of land. We, however, learn that labor is very scarce liroughout the County, and it is almost imposiblc to obtain it for '-standing wnges," by the rconih or year. In one case we are told that a ?rge farmer has ten or twelve head of work iiimals, and only himself and two sons to work hem; while in a number of cases upon twolorsc farms the owners cannot get labor upon my other terms than a share of the crops, or ire compelled to rent one-half their land to colircd men. who cultivate them under liens. The lea of being a "boss fanner" is so very captivaing to the colored man that it will not bo long jefore we shall have no laborer.^in this county it nil A? they hare more Mlo lime lot being subject to the call or demand of anj >nc, ami only the necessities of the crops cxac heir labor. Some tenants and land-owners di better under the tenant or share system than they would under tho wages system. Then are many land owners who arc poor farmer and worse managers, while there are a numbei of colored men who own no land but arc goofarmers and managers, and when these tw< classes come together as landlord nnd tenant the sys'otn proves a present financial benefit t both. Hut it is a ruinoun skinning system fo the future. The tenant has no interest in th land, consequently lie cultivates with the sol view of getting from it all it will possibly pro ducc each year, and often leaves it so exhauste* that bis successor cannot pay expenses from it and its value is reduced one-half. If the tenant and share system is continued few years longer, in the present loose manner c renting, our lands will not pay for cultivnlin ami our labor will be compelled to find otlic homes to obtain n living. In Knglaml a tcnar is bound to adopt n certain routine of cultivntio ami crops, so that each year tlie land shall in prove in fertility nt:d value. Why cannot sum such system he adopted with us? We see no hope for a change, so long as tli lieu law is in operation, for the merchant wh takes a lien ami the tenant that gives it, hot stand in the way of any improvement.
