guilty to nassing counterfeit money, and
threw himselt on the mercy ot the court.
M. M. Drevtus, arrested in St. Louis
several months ago for forgiug the name
of M.THmann, a prominent Dallas mer-
chant, for a large sum of money, was con-
victed in the State District Court, and
sentenced to the penitentiary tor two
years.
Moses Stewart, fifty-six years old, was
arrested today on a charge of raping a
ten-year-old girl, a daughter of John El-
liott. The accused is a highly respected
citizen, and has & son connected with a
leading banking house. The Elliott fam-
ily occupy a house of his. Stewart was
released on one thousand dollars bail.
The notes for the $43,000 bonus, sub-
scribed bv the citizens of Dallas to the
Chicago,' Texas and Mexican Central
Railway Company, were turned over by
theirustees to the company to-day, they
having fulfilled their contract.
It is reported in railroad circles that the
Gulf, Coloiado and Santa Fe Railroad
Company has purchased the Chicago,
Texas and Mexican Central, and is to take

Dallas, Jan. 18,1882.
The Pearson-Rradley scandal is again
the talk of the city. Developments of a
most shameful character have been made
public to day. They are to the effect that
it nearly resulted in a tragedy last night.
It transpires that last week, when Bradley,
father of Miss Edna May Bradley, wiih
whom Pearson eloped, and Pearson met
in Denison, that the ruin of the young
girl was charged onPaarson by the father,
the latter finally agreeing to accept six-
teen hundred dollars as a compromise.
Ten hundred and fifty dollars were paid
in cash to Miss Dora Bradley, sister of
Pearson’s runaway paramour. A bill of
one hundred dollars at Pearson’s store,
owed by the Bradley family, was cancelled
and Pearson promised to pay four hundred
and fifty dollars more iu cash in a few
days. All this occurred in the Alamo ho
tel parlor. This harmonized all parties,
and on last Sunday morning Mrs. Pearson
published a card in the Dallas Herald,
stating that satisfactory explanations had
been made as to her husband’s and Miss
Baadley’s conduct, etc., and that the fam-
ilies were again friends. ;But still the run-
away, Miss Edna May Bradley, remains in
New York, and rumor has ic that she is
in so delicate a condition she dare not re-
main among her Dallas acquaintances.
Yesterday Mrs. Pearson sold her furni-
ture, piano, etc., to a gentleman in Dallas,
and took a check on the City National
Bank lor live hundred dollars. When the
purchaser called at Bradley’s residence,
where the Pearsons boarded, the Bradleys
refused to surrender the goods until the
aforesaid balance of $450 was paid.
Bradley and Pearson had a personal diffi-
culty, in which pistols were drawn, but
parties present prevented a killing. All
the furniture, except the piano was re
moved by the purchaser, and he offered
to compromise by paying Bradley $125,
which he agrees to take and release the
piano to-morrow. Last night Pearson
skipped the country, going, it is said, to
Mexico, below El Paso, or to Caiif'o>-rui.
It is the intention of Mrs Pearson and the
furniture purchaser to have Bradley ar
rested in the morning for bl.ek
mail anti bribery. Public sen-
timent against Pearson, si nee
his return ha3 been so strong that it has
been difficult to keep the people from
tarring and feathering him. Many say it
will be done should he again return. To-
night reporters called on Mrs. Pearson
who had left the Bradley rosiden -,e. She
flew into a pisdon of abuse, refusing t
corroborate or deny the reports. To-day
the sheriff attached about three h indeed
dollars’ worth ot Mrs. Pearson’s personal
effects tor New York creditors.

Morgan, Jan. 18, 1882.
The district court at Meridian is now in
session, Judge Abbot presiding. The
question as to whether the late election
on local option will stick or not is the ab-
sorbing question. Several of the boxes
we; e stolen, and one thrown out. The
opponents of prohibition are making a
hard and earnest light for whiskey.
We have had one bad spell of weather.
On Monday evening a real old-fashioned
norther struck us, an i it was terrible to-
day. The whole face ot the earth wa*
covered with ice, and it was terrible to get
around. To-night the weather has moder-
ated. and it is warmer.
No trains have passed over the G. C.
and S. F. to-day. The depot has been lull
all day, and even the “Texas Siftings”
could nave learned something about board-
ing houses. Mr. Sterling, the station-
master, and his assistant Mr. George
Hurd, always put them-
selves out to make it agreeable to all who
travel over their road or who may have
business with them. No matter how long
trains may be off. the Santa Fe depot is
made so pleasant by the gentlemen in
charge that it is preferred to the waiting
rooms of our boarding houses.
We have had high water, and on Mon-
day everd ng the hack that carried Judge
Abbott to Meridian, on its return, was
driven by the driver into Steel’s creek, and
both horses were drowned. The driver,
a colored man, barely escaped. The hack
was recovered to-day. Ic was a seriou*
loss to Major Hayes, being at least $3JO.
Mr. Marx Miller has been confined to
his bed for several clays past.
Mr. Thos. F. Lockett returned from
Fort Worth elated with his trip, and ex-
presses surprise at the business done
ttie.e. IIj informs me that he bought
goods us cheap as fie has heretofore done
in Galveston or S\ Louis.

Washington, Jan. 18.—Guiteau carr.e
into court this morning with a quick,
confident step, saluted his friends, and. as
soon as he had taken his seat, turned to
Judge Cox. arid said: “I presume your
honor will allow me to address the jury
when Scoville gets through?”
fudge Cox: “We will consider that
when Scoville gets through.”
Scoville, in repiy to an enquiry, stated
that he hardly expected to conclude his
speech to-day.
Seoviile resumed his address, taking up
and discussing the statistics of insane
criraina’s introduced in evidence by the
prosecution. He had noticed that the
tables produced here by Dr. Grey omitted
some essential features in his reports.
Corkhiil: ‘-Dr. Grey did not prepare
an? tables especially for this trial.”
Scoville: "Dr. Grey was hired to come
here to help hang this men. He was one
of the co-conspirators in the conspiracy
of which the District Attorney was the
chief, but, fortunately, he has It ft his foot-
prints here, and, before I get through, i
c*n contradict him out of his o wn mouth.”
Scoville pointed out in the conduct of
Guitean parallels to illustrations given by
Dr. Grey, and then went on to deny that,
the prisoner had been playing a port.
Discussing the horrors of the crime, as
otten shown in the acts ot insane crimin-
als Scoville said: “ L'here is nothing in
this act to compare with some of these
acts of insane criminals, and gentlemen of

Galveston News.
A letter of suggestive interest,
and perhaps of political signifi-
cance, written from Galveston and
published in the New York Herald
of a recent date, outlines the is-
sues iu Texas politics which, ac-
cording to the writer, are com-
prehended in a canvass between
Senator Coke and Governor Rob-
erts for the United States Senate.
At the capital of the State the
opinion prevails that the gover-
nor will seek a third term; after
which may come the Senate, the
chancellorship of the university,
or any other position of honor and
profit that may fall to him in th8
distribution of the rewards of im-
pressive merit. As shortly after
the next executive inauguration
the election of a Senator will oc-
cur, it is assumed that his first
effort will be to secure re-election
to the governorship. Should he
fail to do that, his successor would
take office in the midst of the len-
atfbrial election, and he would
enjoy but little influence by rea-
son of his position as out-
going governor. It seems to te
essential that the Governor should
seek a third term if it be true that
he aspires to succeed Senator
Coke. There is not apparent any
such pre-eminent fitness in the
the rest, the railway corporations
are not likely to waste an effort j;,
the political field over the ret. u-
tion of landed subsidies and
exemptions that mast be contested
in the courts if at all. Tf thore is
to be anything at all of railway
participation in the political affairs
ot this State in the coming contest
for governor and senator^ it wilt
have a more practical bearin'o*
upon legislation than is conceived
by the Herald’* onrrespoudeur,
What the railway eorpnr,Utr>N
apprehend is unjust IegUiuiiou
regulating their changes and mah
age meat. Many of their most lib-
eral and enlightened directors
concede the right of the people
through government, to assume a
reasonable measure of supervision
and control over their operations,
and they doubtless discern a grow'
ing determination to reach'that
point in the public mind. These
are the facts which are most likely
to determine which way the rad
way corporation* will throw tueir
influence in the coming elections
in Texas.

to heedless presumption should
ex-Goveruor Roberts enter into
a contest for the Senate as a
private citizen. Then the Gov-
ernor will have a strong incentive
t.o ask for a third term, and if it ia
not secured, will not become a
candidate for the Senate, but if it
is secured he will doubtless seek
the advancement, supposing al-
would probably hundreds ot other poli- j ways that the contest will be as
ticians, It it could occur other than j depicted in the letter of the Her-
SSSaS. correspondent between the
unrighteous and disgraceful struggle for
office. Neither shill Grant escape that
condemnation to which he is so justly
subjected, when coming from Mexico, and
coming with undue haste, to throw his
ow* name into this petty quarrel about a
small office in the Republican party, and
sought to foment the difference that had
apruug up. I am not going to see the

have led a sane man to such an ac’, bur,
on the contrary, gentlemen of the jury,
what is the effect of your verdict ? If you
accuse him, as au insane man, why the
people will say some one is at fault; they
will say we will fix the blame upon the
heads and hearts of those men who urged
war on our poor dead President, until it
drove this poor, insane man, from reading
in papers what ’ilrant said, what Uonkling
says, and from constantly thinking upon
it, to his insane act of killing the Presi-

who are the really culpable ones, who will

produced for the defense, must mike out
a case of insanity beyond reasonable
doubt Counsel for defense will call at-
tention to this latest decision, and ask
Judge Cox to charge the jury to that ef-
fect.
Just as Scoville w7as about to resume
his argument, Guiteau broke out with
considerable violence and shouted:
“Something has been said here aftout
politics, and I want to talk a little about
politics, too. There are two or three
crank newspapers in the country—to-ivit :
Reid’s New York Tribune; to-wit. the
Chicago Tribune; to-wit: Halstead’s
Cincinnati Commercial; to-wit: George
William Curtis, the man milliner of New
York. The waether has been getting cool
lately, and these fellows had better iie off*
under the trees and cool off a little. The
only cranks in the country are these fel-
lows. Tney had better join the Grant-
Guiteau-Arthur combination, and get into
good company and become good Republi-
cans.”
A few minutes later the prisoner, who
had been looking over a New York paper,
called out: ‘T seethe New York Court
ot Appeals have just decided in favor of
our theory ot insanity.”
Governor ami Senator Coke, and
that the railroad interest will de-
cide the matter. The correspond-
ent assumes that, if the Governor
should succeed Ooke, Coke could
do nothing toward correcting the
alleged vicious and unconstitu-
tional system of land subsi-
dies and tax exemptions inaugu-
rated under his administration in
1875, but that if Roberts is defeat-
ed by Ooke, he will yet be left
with the power to bring abo ;t the
reforms indicated. Hence it ia in-
ferred that the influence of the
railway corporations will be ex-
erted to elect Roberts. Evidently,
if during the second week ia the
session of the Legislature that is
to elect Coke’s successor, a newly-
elected Governor were about to
sacseed Governor Roberta, the
latter would hardly be feared by
the railway corporations. He
would have no influence in shap-
ing legislation or the views of a
new administration regarding the
railroad question. Clearly he
could not be ths railway corpora-
tions’ candidate for the Senate,
were their support dependent
solely ou his ability to inspire leg-
islation of a hostile character to
their interests in the capacity of a
private citizen. On the other
hand, it would not be occasion for
surprise it, being a third time Gov-
ernor, the influence of the railway
corporations should be fouud ac-
tive iu his favor in the contest
for the Senate. Without bargain
or intrigue this support miglat
be given him, and without incon-
sistency or abasement he could
profit by it. The result, in case of
bis election to the Senate, would
simply indicate the high apprecia-
tion in which he is held by the en-
terprising railway magnates of the
land. To infer more would shock
the universal esteem for personal
honesty which the Governor sure-
ly has earned and enjoys. It may
be premature to say at this time
who will be supported by those
who control the railways for the
office of Senator or Governor. It
Truo Liberalism.
Mobile Register.
There has been a good deal said
and written lately about ‘‘Liberal-
ism” ia the South, and Senator
Mahone has been hHd up by our
Republican contemporaries ’as the
apostle of this tone of thought and
of prograss. The true Liberal, in
our opinion, is the man who
adopts the course followed by
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi,
who, by the way, does not .posture
before the country aa the sham
Southern Liberal is accustomed
to do.
Senator Lamar is “liberal” in
the sense in which a Democrat
should be liberal in his views. He
claims the right to hold his own
opinions on public questions, but
he does not consider that “liberal-
ism” consists in abusing one’s own
party, and aiding and assisting its
opponents. If his own party com-
mits blunders, he seeks to avert
their recurrence, but does not con-
sider it necessary to proclaim the
fact from the house-tops, and to
intimate that the party doss not
know kowT to do anything else,
The great difference between
men like Lamar and men like Ma-
hone is that the first named, while
having au honorable and proper
ambition for political distinction,
is chiefly actuated by patriotic
motives. If he has made any mis-
takes, they have been those of the
head, not of the heart. Mahone,
on the contrary, is eaten op by
ambition, and worships self.ffBe*
tween the two men there is no
comparison, for one serves his
country, and the other wishes his
country to serve him.
That the Democrats of the Mis-
sissippi Legislature should return
to the United States Senate a
statesman who is acknowledged
by Republican journals to be fair
minded and conservative above
the average of statesmanship, is a
sufficient answer to the charge
made that the Democracy of our
sister State is under the control
of extremists. In fact, the jour-
nalists of the North who writp-
abont Mississippi know
of what they aye writing, and have
relied to a great 'extent on the
statefalsifiers and slan-
derers. Rut if the State should
need defence in the future, it will
find Senator Lamar, as he has
been in the past, an able and fear-
less advocate.
is not doubted, however, that the
Governor will seek a third term,
Making Way for Conkling.

he would go to the freight

Then he would covertly mark that

with the requisite tools, he could
enter the car, remove the box of

Washington, Jan. 18.—The promptness
which Senator Davis, of Illinois, has dis-
played ia pressing the bill to retire Justice
Hunt, of the Supreme Court, has revived
the talk about ex-Sauator Conkling com-
ing into the Cabinet. It is said that Sec-
retary E’olger is to succeed Hunt upon the
Supreme Bench, and that Conkling is to
be made Secretary of the Treasury. Davis
is a warm and intimate friend of Conk-
ling’s, and he believes Conkling would
make a brilliant Cabinet officer. Folger’s
experience in the Treasury has not been
such as to make him desire tofili the posi-
tion lor a full term. He has been annoyed
very much by applicants ior office, and
has otherwise found the position a trying
one. He came juet when public attention
was directed to irregularities that had
existed in the disbursement of the Contin-
gent Fund, and he lias endeavored to
watch all the details of the department
with the view ot detecting and preventing
wrong doing, even on a small scale. He
is said to be willing to return to judicial
life. The bill to retire Hunt will no doubt
pass without delay.

New York, J m. 18.—Judge Barrett, in
the Supreme Court Chambers, to-day,
granted an attachment against the prop-
erty in this city of VVm. 5. Eagluh, Dem-
ocratic candidate for Vice-President at
the last presidential election. The appli-
cation was made in a suit brought against
English by VYm. D. Murphy, lor $1,180,
who claims that during the presidential
campaign, he delivered speeches in Indi-
ana in behalf ot the Democratic ticket, aud
lor which he lias received no piy, non-

The third term, if obtained, will of
course bring with it the influence
belonging to the power and pat-
ronage of his office. Will it also
bring with it the support of these
corporations ? At all events the
way is being paved for a third
term. The Governor’s friends are
known to be urging the necessity
of it—first, because, as they argue,
he will be the strong man of the
people and the party to beat Ma-
honeism iu Texas,aud next because
he has inaugurated the build-
ing era at the capital and should be
retained to see that the large cash
balance he has accumulated is
properly aud honestly expended
in the construction of the State
House, university buildings, asy-
lums and penitentiaries now con-
templated. The extra session of
the Legislature can provide vetoes,
campaign messages, tax reduc-
tions and other political levers.
It need surprise no one if all this
should result iu a third term.
Those who underrate the force of
the circumstances and considera-
tions indicated, have learned but
little from the recent political ami
pattizau achievements of the
Governor. The people are ex
pected to permit nominations.
They are not expected to discover
the real aims of leaders, choose
their own candidates and indicate
thereby a choice lor senator. Still
less is it expected that they will
ever know how it is that Senator

and Governor Roberts does not

hap, to occult influences which de-

The Source of the Mississippi.
Dubuque Herald.
The new-found source of the
Mississippi is a sparkling little
gem of a lake, situated above and
beyond Lake Itaska. It nestles
among the pines of an nnfreqented
and wild region of Minnesota,
many miles from the nearest white
settlement, and just on the divid-
ing ridge which forms the great
water-shed ol North America.
Wi'hin a few miles of it can
be fouud lakes and streams
whose waters are tributary to the
Red river of the North and the
Yellowstone, thus reaching tue sea
thousands of miles from the mouth
of the mighty Mississippi, which
flows in a trickling brook from
