—Blaine is kept, in the back
ground. And Conkling, too;
where is he?
—It will be encouraging to
om readers to know that there
fa a possibility, however remote,
that some time in the spriug the
newspapers will cease to discuss
r‘the situation,” and will return
to the publication of more gun
eral news, and the propagation
of ideas on a greater variety of
topics than engages their atten-
tion; at this time,
—It may be gratifying to our
Republican readers to know that
for the space of nine hours end-
ing Wednesday night, the 8th
idst., at 12 o’clock, that Connec-
ticut had gone for Hayes and
Wheeler. At least, Zach Chand
ler swore by all the Gods at
once and until the air in the cor-
ridors of the Fifth Avenue was
blue, that it should be so. This
is the way Louisiana, South Car-
olina and Florida are to be car-
ried still. By some one’s oath.
“Let No Guilty Man Escape”
Thu intent of the President in
pencilling those words is now
self-evident. The pardon of thr
last hot. one of the convicted fel-
ons has been signed, and tin
people’s money expended in
their conviction has gone foi
naught. McKee, McGreer, Ave
ry,, McDonald, Hessiug, Hill,
Raiirn, antf the w lole confrater-
nity are again turned loose t<
prosecute their corrupt practice
at their own sweet will. “Le’
no guilty man escape.” “Let us
have peace.” Meaningless ut-
terances.

In the ht at aan din of battle,
and the worse confusion thai
has arisen on a portion ot tin
field, since the rout of the Et-
publican hosts two weeks ag-
to-day—the public has lost sight
ot and a.»n>."t IcAFgottuTj this
great bond holding stock-job-
bing politician, Away up in
Mattie in me shadow of the
mountains, and by the sound ot
the babbling waters of the rapid
Penobscot, Blaine awaits th
coining events with that sever-
ity with which flat christiat
statesman, Bob Sehenek sits In
hind an ace full. The would
be candidate for the caudidac
of the Cincinnati Oonveutioi
sees in the confusion that is lik -
ly to surround the elect ora’
college, and the possible sub-
mission of the eduction ol a
President to the House'of R> p-
rusuiPatives. a way to the Presi
dential chair.
l u House mav not succeed
in electing, or if elected max
nor be able to install a Pn-st
dent. Blaine is now a Sena to i
and can manipulate that bod\
in such a manner as to be elect-
ed President pro tempore—and
in the event of a failure to instsd
a President, there being no
Vice-President at this- time the
President pro iem of the Senate
would discharge the duties of
President. Thus he is ctim,
patient atidwatehru1.

—An exchange says : “ Did -

The following gentlemen have
been named by Governor Coke
as the commission to revise ami
digest the laws, provide d lor by
an act of the last legislature: C.
S. West, of Austin; J. W. Ferris
Ellis county; Ben. H. Basset,
Breuham; George Clark, Waco;
S. A. Wilson Rusk. Col. West
has invited -hem to meet at Aus
tin and divide out the work on
the 20th of this month It is
not likely that their work will be
published in less than twoyears
but it will be, when finished,
very complete and useful
An important suit was recent-
ly decided in the Supreme Court
at Tyler. Ihe Rational Bank at
Jefferson refused to pay the oc-
cupation tax, on the ground that
it was illegal. By the direction
of the State Comptroller, Sher-
iff’ Vines brought suit against
the bank to recover the tax. The
case was decided against the
bank in the District Court, and
the bank appealed. Last week
the Supreme Court affirmed the
judgement of District Court.
Houston Telegraph: Anoth-
er man was killed yesterday to
swell the number who have lal-
lett in front of the pis.ol’s muz-
zle and in strife in Harris coun-
ty. The man killed was a negro
named Charles Lee, and his slay-
er a white boy named Edwin Eig
ney. The shooting took place
near Harrisburg, and both par-
ties were cow herders in the em-
ploy of Mr. Samuel W. Allen.
Mr. Allen immediately on hear-
ing of the affair took steps, as
did Constable Bennett at Har-
risbuig, for the arrest ol Eigney,
but at last accounts he was still
at large. We were unable to as
certain the cause or any ol the
particulars ol the killing.
The Telegraph complains of
the tramps tnat infest the Bayo
City.
Giddings fired one hundred
gnus for Tilden and Hendricks,
and the “Union as it was.”
Mrs. Makin, is “Makin” it
lively for the negroes in and
around Breuham. She shot one
a lew days since, and stabbed
another with a pair of scissors
Old Santanta, the Kiowa chief
confined at Huutsvide, tor life,
attempted to hang himself last
week, but was discovered and
cut down in time to prevent his
advent into the happy hunting
grounds.
Montague county is filling up
rapidly, and has now a voting
population of nearly 2000.
—Sheridan now goes again to
New Orleans, and we are sorry
to believe it is because Grant
meditates a new interference
with the will of the citizens of
Louisiana, and feels the need of
the services of so daring and
audacious a lieutenant to make
it effective. The sending of
troops into that State was with-
out color of law. It was an ex-
ercise of authority which threat-
ened the foundation of our State
system. But the selection of a
nan like Sheridan, with his an-
tecedents at New Orleans and
his known character, to take di-
rect command of them, is a sub-
stantial announcement that they
are to be used, if the emergency
arises, less to secure order than
to force a desired result. Grant’s
selection of Republican partisans
ostensibly to visit New Orleans
to oversee the Returning Board,
and his declaration of his pur-
pose to aid in obtaining an hon-
est count, are of small signifi-
cance compared with his
designation of Sheridan to the
command of the soldiers who
are already congregated in Lou-
isiana. He has not picked out
for that delicate and responsible
duty an offices' of moderation,
and one who has the confidence
of the citizens, as he might eas-
ily have done; but he has sent
one against whom they justly
feel indignant, whose previous
career iu the State was one of
outrage on their liberties and in-
sult to their rights, and who pro-
voked by his conduct the pro-
tests of North and South alike,
and of men of both political
parties.

—Where is Brother Blaine1?
Protracted silence on the part of
that lively statesman means that
something is the matter. Has
the heat of Maine’s November
sun affected him? Or is his
grief at the defeat of Hayes the
kind of grief that turns the cor-
ners of the mouth up instead of
down? Is it possible that
Brother Blaine is suffering from
’otiNeir of the grinning dolors?
The Queen on Sunday Har-
vesting.
On Sunday afterroon her
Majesty, accompanied by the
Princess Beatrice, drove to
Lochnager Distillery, and paid a
visit to Mr. Begg. From con-
tinuous wet weather had on the
previous day cleared up, and
changed to bright sunshine. The
Queen after a short stay at
Locknagar Farm, continued her
drive by way ol Beinacrott and
remained tor some time beside a
field ol oats belonging to Mr.
Begg, whete about fifty men and
women were actively engaged at
work binding in stocks grain
which had been spread out to
dry on Saturday. It was dry
on Sunday, and the people in
the. district turned out, and
with willing hands bail the whole
field bound and stocked by even-
ing, part of the operation being
conducted by moonlight. Be
lore her departure her Majesty
sig.dfied to Mr. Begg her opin-
ion that the work was one of
necessity.—London News.
—A London correspondent
who recently visited the Em-
press Eugenie says : “She look-
ed the model of an elegant, well-
dressed woman, and a little
mare—her tall slip of a son
standing by her side, looking,
perhaps, mote like her brother
than her son, for misfortunes
and reverses have certainly not
aged her handsome face. If I
must state my impression, it
must be that I was reminded oi
the consummate grace and stud-
ied perfections of some of the
stars ot the Theatre Franeais,
rather than any ideal picture of
fallen greatness. The courtesy
of the Empress is something
to remember. Her life at Chisle-
hmst is quiet ami simple. The
Queen and the Princess of
Wales nay her occasional visits,
and French Imperialists when
in London make pilgrimages,
with violets in their button-holes
to Chiselhurst and the grave of
Napoleon III.

stand up,” said the schoolmas-
ter. “John is a bad boy, who
does John correspond with ?”
“I know,” said a little boy at the
foot, holding up his hand, “if
.you mean John Smithers, he
corresponds with my sister;
here’s a letter he just gim’ me to
carry home to he.”

JUST ARRIVE!*!
Car Load of Patent
Fire Clay Flues
These chimneys are intended foi
country houses, to be used without
bricks or mortar. They have openings
for stove-pipes and fire-places.
Our patent chimneys are sure pro-
tection against fires and smoky chim-
neys.
Three-fourths of all the fires in cities
arise from defective fines. See city fire
department reports.
Citv ordinances now require their
use. Insurance men say, they are a
great protection against fires. Arch-
itects say, “There is nothing equal t<>
them.”
Reasons Why;
1st. Flues are all the way of a size.
2d. Good and perfect draft.
3d. Don’t choke up or burn out.
4th. Rooms can’t be smoky.
5t h- Made of fire clay, non-conductors
of heat.
6th. No' first-class building can af-
ford tube without them.
