FORT WORTH. TEXAS, OCTOBER 12. .877.
The speakership for some cause,
we know not what, is the all absorb-
ing question at present. Eandall
appears to be the strongest man,
but all the elements opposed to him
may combine and defeat him.
The king of Spain has given or-
ders to the Captain General of Cu-
ba to make peace on any terms
with the insurgents. The Cubans
are anxious for peace, being hem-
med in on all sides and in a hope-
less condition.
The election returns from Ohio
confirm the first news. The victory
was complete. There will be be-
tween thirty and forty majority in
joint ballot. Even in Iowa, Gear,
the candidate for governor, will have
a plurality, but not a majority of all
the votes east.
The correspondent of the London
Standard telegraphs on Monday
near Plevna that he was with the
army of Chipkel Pasha, which was
marching to the reliet of Osman
Pasha, and that a junction would be
made that day. Official dispatches
announce the j unction.
There has been heavy fighting at
liars. Eesult not known.
Asiatic cholera is reported to be
spreading in China and Japan
among the natives ; foreigners have
thus far been exempt. Foreign
ships-of-war left the port of Yoko-
lioma to avoid danger. Eveiy pre-
caution has been taken to prevent
the spread of this fearful scourge to
the human race. The disease is said
to be under good control and no ap-
prehensions are felt at present that
it will become an epidemic.
The issue in the Ohio campaign
was financial, and that state claim-
ed by the republicans, have pro-
nounced against its policy of re-
sumption at an early day, and the
national bank circulation. Tliepeo-
ple demand a change and the poli-
ticians would do well to watch the
current events. The substitution of
a greenback circulation and the sup-
pression of the national banks are
the ideas most prominent.
The officers and engineers of the
United States army, in charge of
river and harbor improvement, have
made their annual report, from
which we take an extract referring
to the Texas coast. We hope that
the suggestions and recommenda-
tionsjuade by this able corps of sci-
entific men will be acted on by con-
gress:
k,For the continuation of work on the
ship channel in Galveston Bay, between
Bed Fish Bar and Morgan's Point, the
amount available is $72,000; amount asked
for $150,000.
For Sabine Pass, Texas, amount availa-
ble, $50,489.42; asked for. $147,026.
For Pass Cavailo inlet to Matagorda
Bay, Texas, the amount available is" $20,-
000; asked for, $130,000.
For the survey for a ship channel,
through Galveston Bay, Texas, the amount
available is $1.410.36.” No further appro-
priations asked.”
The tornado which passed across
north Texas from north-west to
south-east on the morning of the
7th, did no injury in this section ;
the towns of Graham, Plano and
Wills Point were directly in its track.
A great many bouses were blown
down and much damage done to the
cotton in the fields, which was blown
out and beaten m the ground by the
rain. We have already given our
readers the particulars of the dis-
asters attending the storm at Wills
Point. It is very singular that no
lives were lost, when so many build-
ings were demolished. In newly
settled towns the buildings are con-
structed of light frail material, and
it is not surprising that they should
be torn to pieces by a gale.
( district. Men who have committed
! the most unprovoked murders
[ are turned loose on the
community on bail, in defiance of
the established principles of criminal
jurisprudence. To give bail in all
cases is the rule of this plastic and
obliging judge. These charges are
not made without ample proof, and
cases are cited to show the utter
Want of consideration and of justice
which characterizes this expounder
of the law.
So long as the judges sympathize
with the outlaws and shield them
from the effects of the very laws
which they have sworn to execute,
wholesale murder will be practised,
and the lawless element of society
will strike terror into the hearts of
the quiet and peaceable citizens.
Let the severities of the law be en-
forced upon every violater. Mo
murderer should be allowed bail,
but he should have a fair and speedy
trial. Those, who have, under the
law, forfeited their lives, should pay
the penalty at the end of a rope.
GAMBETTA.
This bold and fearless advocate of
republican institutions, undismayed
by all the terrors which threaten
him, in spite of prosecutions, fines,
and every form of oppression and
persecution which his enemies dare
to impose on him, still raises his
voice for liberty. Paris was electri-
fied on the 7th by his manifesto to
the electors of the 20tli arondise-
ment of Paris. We cannot do jus-
tice to this document without gi ving
the very words of this wonderful
man, who stands the acknowledged
leader of the republican party in
France. In a few days we will know
the result of this election, upon
which the fate of France depends.
After denouncing the agents of the
monarchists, and of the pope, the
manifesto declares that;
“France will say what she thinks of the
personal policy of the chief ot the state,
and the aristocratic and retrogade preten-
tions of the De Broglie cabinet, of the un-
justifiable dissolution of the Chamber of
Deputies, of the miserable war waged by
the government against newspaper hawk-
ers, schoolmasters. and other defenceless
victims of the projects and plots of this coa-
lition of monarchists who are preparing
tor her three years of intestine conflicts and
divisions, tp be followed in 1880 by a terri-
ble crisis mul perhaps revolution. ~
The manifesto, after strongly censuring
the licensed violence of the reactionary
press, says: France will pronounce on the
policy inaugurated by the letter, dismiss-
ing the republican ministry, the order of
the day to the troops at the Lorlg Champs
review, on the presidential message of the
19th of September, and on that system of
government which the chief of the execu-
tive power vindicates as a right above the
constitution. France will declare for the
republic. She will say sheintends to make
an end of anarchy and dictatorships, with-
draw the nation, as well as the individual,
definitively from clerical rule and ensure
that the public force shall never be em-
ployed except in the service of the law.
I confidently declare that France, despite
maneuvres .against the freedom' of her
votes, will scorn the official candidature
and its agents; spurn the Loyalists, Cater-
ists and Clericals, both knaves and parti-
sans of violence. She will condemn dicta-
torial policy, and leave the chief of the ex-
ecutive^ power, who is transformed into a
plebiscitory candidature, no alternative but
to submit or resign. We ourselves, sure of
the support of the country, shall know
how to make its will prevail over a power-
less and incorrigible minority, and the
union of all good Frenchmen will keep us
discreet, and render us invincible for the
country and the republic.”
HATS EE MOVED
The republican party have al-
ways charged the south with law-
lessness, and have magnified every
act of the ruffian or murderer, at-
tributing these deeds ot violence to
the spirit of insubordination which
prevailed among us. Since the rule
of the carpet-hag governments have
come to an end, this state of affairs
has, as a general rule, ceased to ex-
ist. Our people have demonstrated
their ability to govern themselves
and bring criminals to justice.
In some counties in the state of
Mississippi a very bad condition of
society exists, which the Vicksburg

Fever gamble.
Fever be idle.
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Drink no intoxicating liquors.
. Fever speak lightly of religion.
Be just before you are generous.
Good character is above all things
else.
Fever borrow if it is possible to
avoid it.
Fever listen to an idle and loose
conversation.
Keep yourself innocent if you
would be happy.
Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper.
Ever live (misfortune excepted)
within your income.
Fever run in debt unless you see
a way to get out again.
Save when you are young and
spend when you are old.
When you speak to a person look
him in the face.
Good company and good conver-
sation are the very sinews of virtue.
When you retire to bed think
over what you have done during
the day.
