13.13. Paddock,
Publisher Daily and Weekly Democrat
November 1, 1878.
John Logan has commenced to
brandish his broad axe in the
neighborhood of the senate cham-
ber, and the Confederate briga-
diers have shrunk into their boots.
Dallas, having received the
federal court, is now engaged in
an effort to secure all the officers
of the court to its liking. Ought
not some other portions of the
district to receive some of the ben-
efits ?
The name of Bayard is frequent-
ly mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency in 1880. The Delaware
statesman is far too honest to se-
cure such a prize in these corrupt
times.
It is reported of Leadville that
by reason of its extreme altitude
the air is so thin there you are
compelled to fan it into a corner
in order to get a good square
breath. In the valleys it is said to
be different; the belated citizen is
compelled to push the clouds away
before he can gain an entrance to
his own door.
Mr. Simonton, the president of
the New York Associated Press,
has been charged by the Washing-
ton Post with lying, violating his
contacts and falsifying the rec-
ord. The Post appeals to his asso-
ciation to dispense with liis ser-
vices. The New York Associated
Press could do nothing that would
so elevate it in the estimation ot
its patrons as the dismissal of Mr.
Simonton.
The Union League is being re-
organized for use in the coming
presidential campaign. That Chris-
tian statesman, Gen. Howard,
should have been placed at the
head of the League. His name
alone tvould have rallied thousands
of voters to the standard of the—
Democracy. The revival of this
political engine will not be attend-
ed with the same results that
awaited its original organization.

Troy, New York, comprising the
treasurer of the Troy and Boston
railroad, two of the directors and
the cashier of the Merchants and
Mechanics bank and the chairman
of the board of supervisors, have
been indicted for fraud. The of-
fense of the last-mentioned gen-
tleman lay in auditing a fraudulent
claim, and that of the others in
defrauding the creditors of the
bank they were connected with.
They will all, doubtless, be pun-
ished, as the Trojan authorities
and people appear to be in earnest
about the matter.
—Investigations made in Eng-
land and the Norili of the birth-
place and residence of various
criminals, to test the question as to
what part of country, and what
sort ot life, are most likely to pro-
duce criminals, show the fallacy of
the idea that cities and towns alone
produce murderers, burglars and
thieves. It was proved conclu-
sively that a majority of criminals
come from the country. London
was shown to be moral and vir-
tuous, productive only of good, as
compared with some of the rural
portions of the west and south of
England, while Manchester, which
has the worst record of any city
in England, was proved to have a
comparatively smaller criminal
population than Kent. An exami-
nation in Connecticut, made by
the board of directors of the Con-
necticut state prison, makes a sim-
ilar showing. It was then shown,
that cities do not, as a rule, fur-
nish the largest number of con-
victs. Indeed, the county in Con-
necticut with the worst criminal
record was Litchfield, which is al-
together rural, containing no cities
whatever, while the cities of New
Haven and Hartford stood at the
head of the list for good conduct,
having furnished the smallest num-
ber of convicts to their voting
population.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Greenville independent
sees through the rock by means of
a hole—
If the legislature does not make a sweep-
ing reduction in salaries, as well as in
every other item of expense connected
with the government, it is plain to the
most casual observer that the process of
piling up the state debt by annual deficits
in the revenues will be continued.
There now remains but thirteen
working days of the session of the
Sixteenth legislature, and it must
be evident that that body cannot,
except through superhuman agen-
cies, conclude the work assigned
it within the allotted time. Texas
is too large a state, and its inter-
ests are too diversified and too
variable to legislate for the entire
state in sixty days, particularly
when the legislation must of ne-
cessity be new and unconsidered.
In after years, when the laws of
the state become fixed and settled,
when its wants are all known and
provided for, the time may be am-
ply sufficient. We see no recourse
but to have an extra session. The
expense attending it would not be
worth consideration compared to
the benefits to accrue from a set-
tled condition of the laws of the
state.
A WOliD TO OUK PATRONS.
When, a few weeks ago, the
Democrat determined no longer
to submit to the unfair exactions
of the New York Associated Press,
and discontinued its dispatches,
the promise was made that other
arrangements for the latest news
would be perfected as soon as
possible. The readers of the Dem-
ocrat need not be told that this
step was not lesorted to because
of a lack of enterprise, pluck or
spirit. The pap^r has not been be-
hind the times or the city in which
it is published iu any of the essen
tial features of journalism. It has
kept pace with the spirit of pro-
gress that has manifested itself in
the city, and outstripped other
and more pretentious journals in
its enterprise and energy in gath-
ering news, and the same spirit
will actuate it as long as it remains
uuder the present management.
It hopes soon to greet its readers
with a more satisfactory press re-
port than has ever graced the cob
amns of a Texas journal.
Speaking of the struggle for the
judgeship of the new judicial dis
trict, the same paper says—
Capt. T. J. Brown, of Sherman, is an
aspirant for the judgeship of the new fed-
eral judicial district created by the bill
that has just passed the United States
senate, which embraces Northern Texas.
Capt. Brown is very strongly endorsed for
the position, bat he will stand a poor
showing unless assurances were given
that the appointment would carry him
into the Republican fold, ft he could be
endorsed as an “old line Whig, with Re-
publican proclivities,” he might be able,
ere long, to “read his title clear” to the
coveted seat, but it is a rank absurdity to
try to secure such an appointment for a
man who has no other recommendation
than his eminent qualifications for the po-
sition.
And then, the Independent
might have added that Postmaster
Norton, of Dallas, went to school
with Hayes.
The Champion Corn Col).
Washington Star,
A remarkable corn cob over a
foot long and of the small circum-
ference that indicates a large-
grained variety of corn has been
received at the dead-letter office.
It was sent to a Massachusetts pa-
per by a Kansas granger, who
made the postage on his package
insufficient by scribbling on it the
following explanatory note; “ In
Kansas we fatten our purp on the
corn, and then we use these cobs
for stove-wo /d to roast the purp
with; and thus in our prairie
homes we make both ends meet
(meat?): In favorite seasons one
stalk has a little gourd of shelled
corn growing on it for chickens.’7
—The bill providing for the set-
tlement of the Virginia state debt
has passed the senate by a vote
of 30 to 11, and now goes to the
house.

Discussing the insane proposi-
tion to elect Mr. Jefferson Davis
a senator from Mississippi, the.
Waco Telephone concludes that—
It would be doubtful if Mr. Jefferson
Davis, in tins day and time, would be
useful in the national legislature. The
South of to-day is not what it was two
decades ago, when such men as Mr. Davis
were accepted exponents or Southern sen-
timent. There is a new generation, new
ideas, new issues, and it woqld seem that
the ex-president of the Confederacy
should be the last man to again engage in
the turmoil ot politics. lie should rest
on his record, and let impartial history
write him down as he may merit. The
day has gone by when he can do aught
for his section, save to emulate that ex-
ample of modest dignity and manly re-
pose that made the last years of Robert
E. Lee so notably grand.

Our Uncle Robert, the patriarch
of the Marshall Herald, is not dis-
posed to give it up so, and thus
rebukes an adolescent editor:
The Rusk Observer, alter praising an
old man who had passed his eightieth
birthday, has the unkindness to remind
him that he is not long for this world.
Our cotemporary forgets that several men
have died within the last few years that
have reached 120. That age would give
him 40 years to live.

Evidently, the Austin States-
man is playing for just one peep
at the bung-hole of Uncle Sammy’s
barrel. It says ;
Since Ben Butler is in favor of pension-
ing alike Confederate and Federal soldiers,
we don’t see why lie is not as good a
Democrat as Tilden. lie certainly has
more brains, and as much honesty.
FASriIONAr.LTC
One of the late lacouicisms of
the Wills Point Local reads thus :
With a felonious Indian statute recom-
mended for the western frontier, and a
felonious tramp statute recommended for
the eastern frontier, with murderers in
our midst and no money for their ap-
prehension, we naturally fall into a train
of thought more suggestive ol pandemo-
nium than of the millenium.

The house concurred in the
senate amendment to the bill cre-
ating a new judicial district in
Texas, and the bill is in the hands
of the president. There is no
doubt of its receiving his official
sanction. The scramble for the
judgeship and other offices lias
commenced. The telegrams an-
nounce the application of Messrs.
Brown, Norton, McCall and Har-
rison, who are each strongly sup-
ported. There is also a dark
horse in the race somewhere, as
there usually is, and none of these
may be honored by the president’s
preference—dark horses are the
most certain winners in these
times.
There is yet hope that the elite
of the country, the best citizens of
the land, will not be permitted to
engage in fraud and peculation
