Office: Number 1 i), Houston Street, Up Stairs
TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1879.
TO OUR EXCHANGES.
Tlie attention of our exchanges
is directed to the provisions of
section 199, Postal Laws and Reg-
ulations, edition of 1879, which can
be found on page 01 of the Postal
Guide. In order to insure the
forwarding of their papers to ex-
changes, publishers are required
to formally enter their publications
as “ second-class matter ” by writ-
ten notification to the postmaster,
and to keep standing in somo con-
spicuous place in their columns
the words “ Entered at the post-
office at................. as second-class
matter.” Publishers must also
give their office of publication with
the words mentioned. Reference
to the first column of the fourth
page of the Democrat will show
what is required. We trust our
exchanges will attend to this mat-
ter, as they can all appreciate the
importance of it.
It is now noted that Kate Chase
Sprague is an Ohio man.
Scratch a “pay as we go” man
and, two to one, “you’ll find an
anti-schooler.
Hon. W. W. LaiJg is opposed
to the repeal of the “ smoke
house ” tax.
Neither “fiat fallacy” nor na-
tional “political tiuxion” is the ail-
ment of the Texas Democracy.
The negroes insisted upon stay-
ing in Memphis, and now Yellow
Jack is convincing them that there
is more fever than free rations in
the city this year.
Tiik only reasons given by the advo-
cates of a direct tax upon the people to
maintain fVee schools is. tlmr education is
a “charity.”—Panola Watchman.
Not a bit of it. Public educa-
tion is a duty ; it is a necessity.
A TEN-THOUSAND-DOLLAR libel
suit doesn’t seem to trouble our
chief any more than a two-bit beer
bill does us common folks at the
Tivoli. Read his letter on the
third page.
The Sherman Courier is to be
enlarged. It will also take the
Associated Press dispatches. We
are glad to note these evidences
of prosperity on tho part of
Rrother Crooks.
The Globe-Democrat wants to
know if there is any punishment
for murdering a woman in St.
Louis, and then says “let the six
murderers of women now comfort-
ably lodged in the city jail an-
swer.
It won’t do, you know, for
“leading papers” to originate a
“ boom,” or recognize the exist-
ence of one. They must wait for
the “low rumble” of somebody’s
barrel. It ^is so stupid to be a
“ leading paper.”
The Dallas Herald and Commer-
cial can learn something of the
Hancock boom in Texas by re-
feriing to the Washington Post’s
interview with Colonel McCor-
mick, published in another column
of this paper to-day.
-1* m ^-
We have discovered who that
obnoxious “professor” was that
Sprague tried to shoot—now won’t
some one tell us the name of the
“invalid gentlemau” whom Conk-
ling carried on his shoulders out
of the house and away from the
scene of danger ?
Large numbers of the negroes
who refused to be removed to
the camps outside Memphis, pre-
fering to risk death for free ra-
tions, are now being removed to
the graveyard. A proper place
for those who insist upon being
recalcitrant fools in a time of pub-
lic calamity and danger.
The New York people had to go
away from home to learn the news
about Conkling’s doings. Neither
the Sun, Times, Tribune nor Herald
published a word of what has be-
come a national scandal for sev-
eral days; and neither the Herald
nor Tribune has published a word
of it yet.
The peopleflf the entire coun-
try will extend their sincere sym-
pathy to Gen. Grant in his grief
for the dead Nellie. The people
have all been told how amiable as
a woman she was, and how the
strong man loved his daughter
“Nellie.” No political feeling will
prevent the death of Nellie Grant
Sartoris being generally mourned.
When it was first proposed to
reduce the tax on tobacco from
twenty-four to sixteen cents a
pound, the treasury officials pre-
dicted that the result would be a
loss of ten millions of dollars ‘a
year. The reduction went into
effect on the first of May and flic
collections to the 30t]i of Juno
amounted to $10,131,751, showing
an increase of $2,590,924 over the
collections for May and June of
last year.
The first published accounts of
the Sprague-Conkling case are
amusing now, when road in the
light of later developments. At
first we were told that Sprague
tried to shoot an obnoxious tutor,
and that Senator Colliding, wrlio
was en route for Providence, and
had stopped there on some legal
business, attempted, with a num-
ber of other persons, to soothe
Sprague’s feelings but without
result until the excitement sub-
sided.
The New York Grangers have
turned their backs to the absurd-
ity that the organization could
hope to effect political reforms
through non-political methods, aud
we are now told that the executive
committee of the State Grange
and State Farmers alliance of New
York ha ve consulted with regard
to political affairs in the state, and
especially as they affect railway
and taxation questions. It was
resolved that the alliance recom-
mend to the state conventions of
both parties the names of candi-
dates acceptable to the farmers
of the state.
The state of affairs in Utah is
reported as threatening, in conse-
quence of the determination of tho
Mormons to resist the enforce-
ment of the anti-polygamy laws.
Secretary of War McCrary is rep-
resented as saying that matters in
the territory are being closely
looked after, but that nothing has
yet appeared to call for any offi-
cial interference. Ho added, how-
ever, that the number of troops
now in Utah seems to be sufficient
to enforce the decrees of the
court and to protect the Gentiles,
should the Mormons venture on
any acts of violence. The secre-
tary also remarked that if troops
become necessary they are so
posted that they can be speedily
sent to Utah.
The chairman of tho Lanmr
county Democracy has issued a
two-column addresR to the party.
Ah, if he could only point to the
glorious deeds of the administra-
tion at Austin ! It would be worth
more to the Democratic cause in
Lamar county than all his plead-
ings. People who live in the pres
ent do not hanker after govern-
ments administered according to
tho ways and methods of the past
The “ fiat fallacy ” of the Green-
backers isn’t what ails the Texas
Democracy. It is the government
which the party gives the state
The Greenbackers in Texas seem
to be making inroads into tho De-
mocracy’s strength, simply be-
cause .there isn’t any other party
to go to for a reform in state gov-
ernment. The Grecnbaekers will
cut no figure in Texas in the pres-
idential race.
ConklinG was said to be a
brave man. After Burnside had
called him a liar, he was said to be
a brave man. After Lamar had
put upon him an insult “ which no
good man would deserve and no
brave man would wear,” he was
said to be a brave man. But the
cowardice of the senatorial bully
never shone clearer than at Nar
ragansett Pier. When Sprague
said “ D—n you, I have driven you
from my house, and now you must
also leave this place,” the brave
man said: “I am going.”1 Conk-
ling’s cowardice was never more
manifest than in his conduct after
being detected in “poaching on
Sprague’s estate.” Exposed in his
amours, impudently attempted in
Sprague’s own house, what did he
do ? In his confusion his first
thought was the thought of a cow-
ard—a lie—and he caused to be
sent out to the world a bungling
story that he was in Sprague’s
house on legal business, that
Sprague attempted to shoot an
obnoxious tutor who had been
employed in opposition to his
wishes, and that he (Conkling) had
rescued the poor man from
Sprague’s sliot-gun. “ Hyperion
to a satyr, dung to marble.”
—It was a Chase all around.
First, Kate Chase-d Sprague, then
Conkling went after the chaste
Kate ; and finally, with a shot-gun
Sprague chased Conkling.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Texas Merchant Relieved of
His Ticker and Cash.
St. Louis Timm August 15.
A fevr days ago D. D. Moulton,
a merchant from Greenville, Texas,
arrived in St. Louis and stopped
at the Conrad house, on Market,
between Fifth and Sixth streets.
On last Tuesday night he went
out for a stroll, and when on
Chesnut, between Third and
Fourth streets, was knocked down
by two yonng inen and robbed of a
fine gold watch and chain, a gold-
ring, pocket-knife and about $24
in money. They left Moulton ly-
ing senseless on the street, where
lie was found by an officer and
taken care of, and in a short time
recovered consciousness. On
Wednesday he went to the Four
Courts and made a statement of
the facts to acting Chief Lee and
gave a description of the men.
STATE ITEMS.
Goodrich, the next new station
and terminus on Bremond’s road,
will be two and a half miles north
of the Trinity.
A movement is on foot in Hous-
ton to defeat the Sunday law. The
Germans have given a lawyer
$500 to fight it.
Cleburne, Meridian,Waco, Bren-
ham, Belton and Bellvillo are all
infected with the iron horse fever.
Meridian is slightly convalescent.
The state of Texas has given
away enough land to have built
three grand trunk lines to the sea.
She does not own a foot of iron
rail.
A stray mule with the glanders
startled the natives in Waco, on
Wednesday, by walking into a
drug store. The poor animal evi-
dently wanted a presciption filled.
The city marshal took it off, killed
and buried it.
Work all along the line of the
Louisiana Western is progressing
finely, and long before the end of
the year trains will be dashing
through to the Crescent City.
Orange and Beaumont will ship
double the amount of cotton this
season they did last if the road is
completed by November.
In the item of horse hair a busi-
ness has been developed in Corpus
Christi within ihe last few years
amounting to 175,000 to 200,000
pounds annually. It is one of the
results of the close times teaching
economy. The exports are gradu-
ally increasing, and greater atten-
tion is being paid by the rancheros
to the preservation of this product.
The Austin Gazette says that a
Mr. White, of Jasper, Texas, has
by some process of amalgamation
with a weed produced a cotton
that is worm-proof. The samples
of tho staple from this hybrid
plant has been submitted to ex-
perts of the Galveston cotton ex-
change, and have been pronounced
by them to be samples of “fair
length, remarkable strength and
very silky.” The process by which
this amalgamation has been ef-
fected is Mr. White’s own secret,
and, if it proves to be a success,
will doubtless add much to the
vklue of cotton raising in Texas.
Mr. W. has offered his discovery
to the general government for
sale, and if his terms are accepted
he will then disclose his secret to
the world.
—A Maine journal has been
comparing the cost of livingto-day
with what it was before the war.
It finds considerable improvement
in this respect, and that a dollar
will purchase far more now than
it would in 1860, This decrease
in the price of necessities, how-
ever, is almost wholly in manufac-
tured and imported articles.
Sugar, tea, prints, sheeting, etc.,
have fallen off in price, while farm
articles show a large increase in
value. This is to the great advan-
tage of the farmers. Their own
products sell for more than they
did in 1860, while the manufactured
articles which they fiave to buy
are cheaper.
TEXAN POLITICS.
Presidential Preferences in the
Lone Star State.
Washington Post.
Col. George McCormick, attor-
ney-general of the state of Texas,
arrived in this city yesterday on
business, and found quarters at
the National. Here he was seen
by a Post reporter, and interview-
ed on the political situation in the
Lone Star State. Col. McCormick
said tho Democrats of his state
are solid, and would give the usual
majority in 1880.
“What are Mr- Tilden’s (chances
out there ?” said the Post’s politi-
cal emissary.
“There is no chance at all in
Texas for Tilden,” was the answer.
“What are the objections to
him ?”
“There are so many objections
that I could not find time to tell
you.”
“How about Mr. Bayard?”
“Coke killed Bayard’s chances
in arrainging him for not report
ing the silver bill at the late ses-
sion of congress. The Democrats
in Texas are soft money men.”
“How is Mr. Thurman re-
garded ?”
. “He is very much liked, but is
not spoken of prominently.”
“Who then is the choice of the
Democrats ?”
“The people like Mr. Hendricks
very well, and would vote for
him.”
“How about Gen. Hancock?”
“He liked best of all. You
know that Texas voted for him in
the St. Louis convention. It is
believed that he would make a
good president. He became en-
deared to the people when Pease
was military governor, and wanted
martial law proclaimed. He aud
Hancock had a controversy. Han-
cock refused to consent to it. If
nominated, he would get arousing
vote.”
“Yon think then that Bayard
would stand a poor show.”
“The people would have voted
for Bayard but for his action on
the silver bill, and will vote for
him yet if he is nominated. They
would uot vote for Tilden uuder
any circumstances. I don’t sup-
pose the Texas delegates would
dare vote for Tilden in conven-
tion.”
Referring to the Republican
party in Texas, Col. McCormick
said there were not enough of
them to express an opinion. The
Greenhackers, he said, are well
organized. The Democrats are
not, owing to their 85,000 to 100,-
000 majority, which they rely on
to beat all comers,
Mrs Sprague’s Statement.
Chicago Times.
The manifesto of Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, is such a paper as
her dearest enemy might wish her
to write. There is no more wifely
dignity in it than might be expect-
ed from an exasperated fishwotnan.
She charges Sprague with drunk-
enness ; says his dislike to the
Dutch fiddler arose from his un-
willingness to be “subjected to
the constant presence of a gentle-
man”—meaning, of course, that
the man she was eager to marry a
few years ago is a blackguard ; as-
serts that, owing to a quarrel with
the trustee of the estate, ho has
not been able for the past six
months to contribute anything to-
ward the support of the family and
household, and confesses that,
when she badgered him for money
which he obviously had not to
give, he turned upon her with the
savage taunt that she might “look
to her powerful Washington
friends for aid.” A remark of
that sort is not one which a sensi-
tive woman would like to put be-
fore the world with her own hand,
but Mrs. Sprague writes it appar-
ently without tiinching. If Conk-
ling has induced the lady to come
forward and defdnd him by black-
ening the character of the father
of her children, he is a dirtier dog
than his most, violent enemies
could have suspected.
