THE DAILY STAIDARB.
DRIJKY LACY, Editor.
FORT WORTH. TEXAS. DEC. 18. 1877.
There will be a line of steamers
"between the United States and Bra-
zil to commence on the first cf
March. This will be a very impor-
tant matter as it will open a great
trade heretofore unknown between
the two countries.
The Turkish parliament opened
on December 18th. All the Turkish
dignitaries and foreign embassadors
were present. The speech of the
Sultan was reserved. He said he
must again appeal to the patriotism
of his subjects to protect the rights
of the government. The Turkish
journals urge resistance to the last.
Liberal contributions for the re-
pair of the confederate monument at
Chattanooga have been made, in
which Union men and ex-Federal
soldiers have united. Such conduct
is iv or thy of the highest commenda-
tion, and will to a great extent allay
the sectional animosity caused by'
the disgraceful act of the unknown
vandals.
An immense oil seed factory is
under construction in Dallas, and
will add greatly to the interests of
that city, if cottori seed in sufficient
quantity can be obtained, without
too much cost for transportation.
Seed can be shipped much cheaper
on steamboats, and procured in great-
er quantities along the banks of dur
Western rivers.
We learn from our exchanges that
a fellow of rare colloquial gifts went
on to Philadelphia and Heiv York,
and represented himself as a Texas
ranger, whose name was Comanche
George Anderson. He said that he
had traveled thousands of miles over
every part of Texas, Mexico and
New Mexico, that during one of his
rides at the foot of a high mountain,
he discovered a rare and very beau-
tiful flower in a section of country
never trod by the foot of man, that
the flower was of such delicious fra-
grance, it could be smelt a half mile
off. He was so charmed with it, that
he watched it until the seeds ri-
pened, and of a few plants he had
gathered the seed, and washed to
dispose of them to persons who
would appreciate their worth. He
showed what fewr seed he had, which
were about the sise of a common
shot. He was asked what he sold
them at, and said as he bad but few,
he wanted them to be distributed as
far as possible, and asked -a dollar
for three. Every lady and gentle-
man he went to, purchased greedily.
He sold some five or six thousand
dollars worth in a very short -time,
but when some of the seed came up
and the plant began to grow, behold
it was nothing but'oehra. He had
wheedled a large sum from the na-
bobs of those cities, who took it as a
good joke.

A circular address issued by the
prominent republicans of Georgia
previous to the late election, had
the effect in the “black belt” of
rolling up a large majority for At-
lanta for the capital. The majority
in the entire state was 40,000. The
negroes are yet a great political
power in the south, and can be wield-
ed by their party leaders.
Tee Boston Post says: “Hays can
make all the Democratic appoint-
ments he pleases and the Democrats
will confirm them.” The question
is, will he? Thurman, Yoorhees and
other Democrats say the man who
would accept office from Hayes, is
not a true Democrat, and it is not
likely Hayes will recommend many
for fear of being refused.
The decrease of sheep in Geor-
gia in the last fifteen years has been
198,295, being 38 per cent. The
tax receivers report 318,828 sheep,
and 99,415 dogs. The latter amused
themselves last year by killing
28,525 sheep, being 9 per cent. A
profit of 63 per cent was realized on
the poor afflicted sheep that are
threatened with extermination-.
General Mason testified, before
the house military committee that
its costs one-third more to maintain
a regiment of colored cavalry than
the same numbef of whites, owing
to their destruction of property and
licentiousness. The .continuance of
these negroes in the regular service
is a disgrace to the republic and an
insult to a brave people, who only
ask for protection.
The president of the United
States and his secretary are made
outrageously mad because the sen-
ate refuses to confirm his two ap-
pointments in the custom house, the
collectorship and the naval office.
It will be recollected that some
months ago the president issued or-
ders to all the heads of the different
departments that no one who held
an office was to participate in elec-
tions or have anything to do to-
wards influencing them. Cornell
months ago treated the order with
contempt, although ho held a high
office, for he continued to act as
chairman of the republican central
committee of New York. Had the
president removed this man, which
would have been consistent with his
professions of civil reform, the sena-
tors no doubt would have sustained
his appointments. His inconsist-
ency and indecision will destroy
his po wer to appoint.

The New Orleans Times in refer-
ring to the late disasters to the su-
gar crop from the severe freeze, says
that the sugar interest should be
protected by a duty ot three or four
cents a pound on all imported su-
gars. It thinks that the burden
would he evenly and equitably dis-
tributed. As much interest as we
feel in developing the culture of su-
gar in the south, we cannot favor
the proposition.
The extra session of the legisla-
ture called by Governor Porter, to
take under consideration the propo-
sition of the creditors of the state of
Tennessee for a compromise, are not
disposed to agree to the terms. The
creditors h«,ve become frightened,
and now propose setting at titty cents
on the dollar, being a concession of
ten cents. We are glad to see the
representatives of the people stand
firm in demanding concessions from
creditors. The southern states have\
been brought to the very verge of
bankruptcy in the vain and useless
attempt to pay the interest on debts
contracted either before the war or
by radical governments. Debts
predicated on the value of slaves,
should be scaled, and debts made by
carpet-bag and negro legislatures,
sustained by federal bayonets, should
be carefully examined. Every bond
issued improperly should be repu-
diated. An equitable adjustment
should be made, and the people re-
i lieved from oppressive taxation.

The New York Sun, in an article
on the subject of “the pay of revival-
ists,” says very truly that “the idea
ot pecuniary reward in connection
with revival work, is repulsive.
Moody, it asserts, will not fix any
price on his services, but receives
‘‘voluntary donations.” The widow
Van Cott lias great faith in the cir-
culation of the subscription paper
near' the Close of every revival.
Moody has a very costly home and
is in easy financial circumstances.
The Sun in conclusion says with
reference to Moody. “If he had
made no secret of his receipts there
would be no possible surprise im-
pending.” The gospel is preached
to the poor without money and
without price, but “reasonable
wages” are obtained in some way,
even by the most zealous.
The Panola Watchman is opposed
to the re-election of Col. Culberson,
not because he has tailed to repre-
sent his district ably and faithfully,
but because it is opposed to any
third term election. It says it gives
the members of congress a better
chance to form rings for their own
benefit. Does the Watchman intend
to insinuate that all our members of
congress are rascals and rogues that
they should be constantly watched,
and the power taken away from
them before they become noted
thieves? This is “counting the
chickens before they are batched.”
It is condemning a man for fraud
before he is guilty of it.

In all probability MaeMahon,
president of France, has yielded to
the wishes of the republican'party,
and that the ministry composed en-
tirely from the left wing will be
formed. MaeMahon says he has Do
ambitious motives to gratify, and
that he wi 11 act for what he consid-
ers the best interest of the country.
