Notarial seals in Texas clarified by 1880 statute
Jous D Templeton writes from Austin noting a Telegram column error about notarial seals. He explains the Revised Statutes Art 8267 requires a five point star center seal with notary public county of Texas around the margin, names to be filled in, and that prior seals with Texas between the star points are invalid. The 16th legislature passed a prospective healing act but did not alter the seal requirements. Templeton states officials do not recognize seals not following Art 3367.

Courtroom satire and political notices from 19th century press
A Cleveland lawyer defends a richly described young woman accused of theft in a silent, dramatic summation. The Corsicana Courier mocks a future president, likely Grant, as a silent ruler. The item notes a Jamestown post office, Henry Clay as Postmaster, and a Kansas city clerk sentenced for embezzlement. Also reports Chinese immigration figures to San Francisco for the year ending 1879-11-01.
