Governor Throckmorton's Npcecii.
Gainesville UazotteJ
On last Wednesday evening a large
audience assembled at the court house
to hear Governor Throckmorton and
Judge Hure candidates for congress
discuss the issues of the day. Governor
Throckmorton arose first and in his
usual dignltied and happy style gave
an account of his past acts and public
services as the true and faithful rcpre-
Bensatlve of this people lie briefly
animadverted to the lemrth of time
which he had served this people in the
most responsible positions within their
gifts and to the potent fact that nev-
er once in all this time had the finger
of disapprobation been pointed at him.
lie showed conclusively that he has
accomplished more for the settlement
fifthia country lor procuring uomes
for the people and for the proteotion
of the froutier than any other man in
the state. He then alluded to his ef
forts while governor iu repelling rapine
and violence and securing a lust ad
ministration with the lowest rate of
taxation kfiowu to tue people of this
The DreemDtion laws under which
many of our people now hold their
homes were introduced and sustained
by him. Id 1830 he effected the sale
of the university lauds which secured
those lands to occupants at three dol-
lars uer acre with twenty years in
which to pay for them. He now favors
making the university lands and other
public lauds 01 me suite vuaoi iu
the cause of education by which these
people and their children may realize
something from them. He has always
fnvorwl Internal imnrovemeuts and
Iihh advocated the introduction of rail
roads both as means of civilization
and as a means of frontier protection
but has never advocated a money sub
sidy for any road. When the storm
cloud has lowered over our state and
the minds of men were filled with
consternation ami dismay and they
knew not where to look for safety
Throckmorton has ever beeu found at
his post and true to his trust has ever
had the moral courage to declare his
political seuiimenta and oppose perse-
cutions even at the sacrifice of position
aud Bell-aggrandizement. Huoli was
the case when he opposed the recon-
struction acta for which he was de-
fiosed. He Has ever sought with all
da enerev to keep monopolies within
the power of the representatives of the
people. He favors the construction of
railroads but demands equal rights
aud benefit in their construction. He
desires a return to a specie basis and
oppose! tarltt mr protection.
:lttlmiua a perfect record ohalleng-
' ing the closest scrutiny he promises
it plM-tni. to sever every oonneotion
that would hludera fair aud honest
representation of the people.

Home llule in Irelmul.
In the hotiso of commons 011 Inst
Thursday liiuht. the discussion of Dr.
Hiltt's home-rule motion was resumed.
Daniel G'Douoliiie member forTndee
said the home rule movement was a
miserable compromise concocted by
those who did not dare to face the pen-
alties of Fenianism. He acknowledged
the desiro of Knirluud to conciliate Ire
land aud said that persistence in this
agitation would be in delianco of grati-
tude justice and common sense. He
said the ultimate object of the leaders
of the movement was to incite the Irish
to force u repeal of tho union
and their suceess would 'plunge
Ireland into civil war ami
annul the recent progress in that coun
try. He said further thnt ii lMigianu
continued to remove every pretext for
a plea of raisgovernment in Ji-eianu
the result would tie a diHerueeiui 11111-
ure of the movement lie hnnly be
lieved Its success would bring ruin to
the'interests of every man iu Irelaud.
Mr. Hubert Lowe member for the
university of London said the estab-
lishment of a local Irish parliament
would involve tho iiecessity of similar
bodies iu Scotland and England and
the result would be constant disputes
and dilliculties.
Mr. Disraeli was unable to agree that
Ireland had a right to a greater amount
of self-goverunieut than (Scotland and
England. He demonstrated the
groundless of the complaint that Irish
men were not appoiuteu 10 nigu oiuces
of the government mid denied that
Irelaud was treated as conquered coun-
try. He said two separate parliaments
would be constantly in collision. The
minority in the Irish parliament would

parliament lie opposed the motion

countries.
To accent this motion would produce
disintegration lu England and might
result iu the destruction of the empire.
McCarthy Mitchell .Nolan the
O'Conuor Don and others spoke in
support of the motion. 1

city which are of interest to the legal

debtors were declared bankrupts with-

The other case deilded was a peti-
tion by attorneys for allowance of fees

voluntary bankruptcy the decision of
the district judije having been adverse
to the claim. The honorable judge of
the circuit court sustalued the decision
of the district judge aud decided that
this claim must be proved as an unse-
cured debt oaaiiiflt the bankrupt's es
tate and paid pro rata with the other
creditors of the estate at the same
time remarking that any fee paid in
rood faith by the bankrupts for legal
services of a like 'nature would be

example might well be emulated. Hie
post of honor should always bo (lie post
of duty.
The above Is from the Galveston
News of a recent date. Colonel Hryan
Is speaker of the house of representa-
tives of Texas and is one of tlio ablest
truest men lu thai lie represented
Texas hi tho federal and confederate
congresses aud tills expressed prefer-
ence to hold a position in the slide leg-
islature above a seat iu congress Is
eminently creditable to lilm. It curries
us from these degederate days In which
in many states the otlleo of governor
Is used merely as a stcpplng-stoiio to
United Stales senate and reminds us
of the time when men like John J.
Crittenden of Kentucky resigned seals
in the federal senate for the purpose of
ueceptiug the higher and more honora-
ble position of governor of a state.
According to the theory of our gov-
ernment senators and representative
In congress tiro not officers of the fed-
eral government at all but are the rep-
resentatives of the slates ami districts
which send them to Washington as ser-
vant and agents to take caru of their
Interests. They are iu no sense federal
officers Even the senators in taking
part iu tlio ratification of treaties and
confirmation of prcsidcuiial appoint-
ments act as the representatives!)! their
states. The proper sphere of congress-
men in time id' peace Is to participate
In thceiiactmentof luws which restrain
the federal government within ilue and
constitutional bounds and disable it
from usurping authority not delegated
to It. When senators and representa-
tives ot this state undertake usSciiutors
Dorsey and Clayton ami mis-representatives
Hy lies Snyder and i lodges havo
lately done ti nullify the existence of
the very power that sent them to
Washington by courting congressional
Interference' to that end they forget
their duty as tlio servants of the people
and state and should be punished ac-
cordingly. Whether or not rightfully
or wrongfully or upon sufilcient occa-
sion the congress of the United Mates
in admitting the state to representation
in 1WIH expressly recognized tlic statu
constitution In which the people at
present acquiesce as "republican iu
form ;" and for state representatives to
attempt IU destruction by a emigres
siontd committee appointed like a mil
lltary commission for the very purpose
is to uct as if they were not a part of
the machinery of the state standing
or ttuiintr with it ami sucu conduct
should be visited witli the consequences
of treason to the state upon the otlend'
ing representatives and senators. It is
a pity that they cannot ik they can-
not be impeached usother state ollleers
Nevertheless thero will be proceedings
euuivalcnt to a criminal trial at the
next state election when a verdict of
guilty will be pronounced by the people
upon their recreant servants and others
selected in their stead to take care of
the interests of tho people who will be
true in their allegiance to the state
which honors them with the call to
represent her in congress.
In Philadelphia every lady is a ceil'

suppose it was to happen out once lu a
hundred years; but in tho city of
brotherly love it seems they are to keep
it up forever. The girls have powdered
their hair to make them look a hundred
