The 2sew York papers have biographies
of the late member from New York, who
died at Hot Springs a few days since.
The biography is quite interesting, but
too long for our columns.

eri capable of instructing the young. It tor Lightfoot ot Lamar. However it
met on the streets on Wednesday
our legislative representative Hon. Joseph
n. Burks, who availed himself of a recess
taken by the Legislature, to come home.
He tells us that nothing will be done for
manufactures because the simple proposi-
tion to encourage the establishment ot
manufactories ot cotton and wool cannot
be got before the people. The proposi-
tion which is so important, was so weighed
down by amendments including tanner-
ies and other comparatively small indus-
tries, that the amendments insured the
defeat, ot fiie bill, lie thiuks it probable
that more Normal schools may be estab-
lished. Wo hope so—two more. He
thinks that nothing will be done with the
Sunday law,, but the bell punch law will
be repealed, and three hundred dollars
State tax required for the retailing of
liquors, to which will be added one hun-
dred and titty dollars county, and in incor-
porated towns $ 150 more municipal tax.
This is tolerably good, though we think
the tax should have been $500 to the
State, with the contingents added. Then
wo should have more revenue and less
drunkenness. The indisposition to
amend the Sunday law, is simple moral
cowardice. The law is now a dead letter,
and will be while it retains its preseut
form. Every respectable citizen wants
to see a cessation of business on the Sab-
bath day, and a closing ot' dram shops,
and all places ot amusement. But a law
that prevents burial clothes and fixtures
from being procured at any hourot any day
or night is simply brutal, and any law
that prevents the traveller upon the
road with a family, from procuring pro-
visions, or articles to protect him or his
family from the weather, at any hour of
any day, is boorish, fanatical and con.
lemptible. Of course the citizen at home
can procure his supplies on Saturday
night, but the traveller may not be able
to do it, because he may be on Saturday
at a distance from any source of supply.
We vield to no man in the fulness ot our
cost something to build reformatories for
the young and penitentiaries for the adult
criminals, but they are indispensable to
the protection of good citizens. It will
cost something to introduce spinning and
weaving machinery to employ convicts
within the walls, and prevent their being
murdered or otherwise misused outside;
but the State would immediately be prof-
ited by the expenditure, and humane
considerations subserved. But we know,
that ot all the contemptible forms of pub-
lic cowardice, there is no other so abject
and so prevalent as this, and it comes of
a tremulous fear that is the product of an
inner consciousness of incompetency to
decide for die public good, and a knowl-
edge that if the vote should be assailed,
the incompetent member has not the abil-
ity to stand up before the people aud
maintain its propriety. Representatives
who are afraid that the people may not
approve are representatives who feel their
own incompetency and unfitness. But
whv any class of delegates to a represen-
tative body should refuse to let the peo-
ple themselves determine a mooted ques-
tion in tavor of which there is evidently a
large and intelligent public sentiment, is
a proposition not easily solved by any in-
telligent citizen. In relation to manufac-
tures, the propositions could be put in
separate sections, as—
Are you in favor of a release of tax on
cotton manufactures for ton years.
Are yon in favor ot a release of tax on
manufactures of wool or wool and cotton
mixed.
Are you in favor of a release of tax ovi
Tanneries, aud so on, for as many purpo-
ses as might be suggested.
With the propositions in this form the
people could vote discriminatingly, and
the good would not be overwhelmed by
the weight of the comparatively uuiinpor-
tant. The introduction of manufactures
of cotton and wool is overwhelmingly im-
portant to the State, and the delegate
who cannot see it should be set upon a
block aud a dunce cap placed upon his
head, as soon as he retires from his field
of legislative labors.
The Steamer Josephine ot the Mor-
gan line of Steamers was wrecked in the
late storm on the Gulf, on hor way from
Havanna, to New Orleans, near Ship Is-! disposition to protect public worship, and
land. The passengers were all saved,
but the vessel was an utter wreck and
sunk. It is solong since a Morgan steam-
er has been lost before this one, that wo
began to regard them as sate and sure,
like the Cunarders.
flow it is !
Thematter has been thoroughly sifted
at last, by the Cincinnati Enquirer, which
lias obtained official returns of popular
majorities in thelate Presidential election,
Trom every State, and Hancock's popular
majority over Garfield, is 8,10(5, while
Oarfield's minority of the whole vote is
336,045. So the Republicans can cease
talking about the strength of the Repub-
lican part'". That party has not the con-
fidence ot a ma jority ot the people ol the
United States. It is a minority party,
which legislates for the interest of the
few.
-A. move in tlie Riulit Duvction.
We perceive that Mr. Gray, member of
the legislature, has introduced a bill to in
crease the capacity of the Penitentiaries
for the manufacture of woollen and cotton
goods, and the procurement of the Clem-
ent Attachment, and appropriating mon-
ey for the pnrpose. If this bill is exten-
sive engngli in its scope, and can be pass-
ed, the effect will be to greatly improve
the condition of convicts, and start man-
ufactures of cotton and wool on a large
scale to as to demonstrate t'no profit, for
the information of individuals.
— I tm K-SCSJ—
Sometime since, we received a bound
copy of Almanacs in several languages
from J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowe!!, Mass.
The woik indicates in its varied forms of
speech, how wide a range the sales ot
well known patent medicines have taken,
and how pills and Haul extracts capture
the known world, with a range wider than
Alexander the Great took in when ho re-
gretted that there were not other worlds'to
conquer. Ayer has found more peoples and
purged them till they succumbed, and
acknowledged submission to his djcrees.
The book contains Almanacs in Etialish,
German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish
French, Spanish, Portuguese and Bohe-
mian, and there are advertisements of
Ayers preparations in Turkish, American,
Greek, Bulgarian aud Chinese.. It is
something surprising thai, then: is nuth

deficiency iu his enterprise, and purge
out all these peoples, before his next an-
nual issue; give each inhabitant a dose o!

each a bottle of Hair Vigor.
would seem to be useless to send the m
as it requires eight days for them to get
here. We have heard that the P. O. de-
partment keeps a mail Agent in this State.
What kind of duty he performs when Aus-
tin papers require six to eight days to
get to Cinrksville, we do not know. From
this copy ot the Statesman, we extract the
following items—
"Mr. Burks introduced a bill to be enti
tied "an act to amend article 375, of the
Penal Code of the State of Texas etc., with
reference to the sale of intoxicating liquors
to Indians.'' Read first time and referred
to Judiciary Committee No 2."
A resolution by Mr. Burks:
Whereas, Owing to the fact that the
legislature has berm iu session twenty-five
days, and the little work we have accom-
plished, is satisfactory evidence that un
less the future be a great improvement on
the past, it will be utterly imposible to
complete necessary legislation within any
thing like the constitutional limitation of
sixty days. Be it
Resolved, That the House hold two ses-
sions per day from to-morrow morning,
commencing at 10 o'clock a. in., and at 7:30
o'clock p. in.''
By the same mail that we receive this
Austin paper of the 12th, we get the New
York Herald of the 19th.
A Great Retorin.
Not tlie Remedy.
Senator Pecksniff Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, has been seized by a violent ap-
prehension that the arrangements for the
inauguration oft,he President on the hit
of March, which draw to the Capital, by
invitation of the committee ot' arrange
ments bodies oi the volunteer sol-
diers from the north, the south,
the east and the west, may forebode dan-
ger in the tutnre. Senator PecksniflTIoar
entertained no apprehensions when Grant
ordered the regulars to Washington iu an-
ticipation of a possible eontest between
the House of Representatives and the con-
spirators who stole the Presidency from
the people of the United States, ot which
conspirators Senator Pecksniff Hoar was
one of the basest, meanest, and mos. hyp-
ocritical. Nor does the sanctimonious
humbug express any apprehensions, now
that Washington is aomit to he made a
regnlar Military post, and hireling troops
congregated there: but he is very fearful
of the citizen soldiery who go for a day,
to show their military aceompllshmems,
and their fine uniforms, li is not from the
citizen soldiery that the country has rea-
son to fear action dangerous to the inti'sr-
lity of the government, bat fro in 'he paid

btigand a hypocrite ever suggest such a
proposition.
the respectful observance of the Sabbath
day. It disgusts us to see drinking
houses open on such a day, or theatres at
night, but we propose to have a rational
consideration for all people's unavoidable
necessities, and to avoid infringement
upon their natural rights. Neither the
constitution of the United States nor of
this State recognizes any form of religion,
but the laws properly recognize a day of
rest, aud give respectful recognition to
the general belief of the people in a reli-
gion revealed by what we term the Holy
Scriptures. This is proper as an ac-
knowledgment of the religions feeling of
the great masses, and a protection of
{ their conscientious convictions of reli-
! giotis duty: but this is all there is of it
There is nothing in the Bible or in the
teachings ot Christ to authorize an aus
tere and brutal disregard of people's ne
cessities; on the contrary the Savior in
eulcates that a brute animal may be re-
lieved from suffering on the Sabbath day,
and if so why not a human being? Iu.ol-
erance goes with ignorance and narrow-
ness of mind; aud liberality of construc-
tion goes with intelligent breadth of com-
prehension. What a poor stick to lean
upon is a legislator who is afraid to do
right lest it might offend somebody ? This
legislature is on trial. We hoped, with
no overweening confidence, that it might
be an improvement upon some of its stu-
pid predecessors. We still hope so, for it
has evinced some intelligence on the'mur-
dcr-mania question, and will evince more
by establishing Normal schools. Bui
why can it not permitjhe people of the
State to determine whether they want
manufactories which would develop a
great prosperity; and whether they will
not leave these untaxed ten years, in or
des that large properties may be intro-
duced which will ultimately largely in-
crease, the revenues of tlie State; and
why can they not permit the people to de
'.jiile for themselves whether they would
prefer that a few thousands ot dollars
should be expended annually to increase
the population of the State, and thereby
reduce the rate of present taxation. Do
these wise men assume that the people
are not to be trusted to decide these
questions; and that all the wisdom of the
State is embodied in the delegates at
Austin ? It would bo well to recollect
that this is presumed to be a Government
of the people, and that for some years the
people have not been well satisfied with
the action of their delegates to the legis-
lature, and at every, convenient opportu-
nity have dismissed the greater number,
that they might illustrate their wisdom
in retiiement.
Three things the people have a right to
exact from those who ask their confidence
ami a delegation ot power to legislate for
them.
The first is competency—and in this
they are largely deceived and defrauded.
Two-thirds ct those who claim confidence
in their power to render public service,
are IVightful'y incompetent.
The second is honesty—in this they are
seldom deceived in the tendencies of the
delegate—the deception comes from the
lack of the n qutsite concomitant to make
honesty elective, and that is
The third requirement—the moral cour-
age to uphold convictions fearlessly, .and
regardless of every consideration of the
immediate popularity of the action.
Scores of meinbirs in legislative bodies
oppose an improved governmental or
Judicial service, when they conscientious-
ly believe iu the rightfulness, because it
costs something, and the people might ob-
jeet to the expenditure. Well! does anv-
The subsidy bill for steamships to be
put uuder the control ot the Post Master
General, failed in the Senate signally. It
proposed to place $1,000,000 absolutely
at the discretion of the Post Master Gen-
eral to subsidize steamships to carry mails-
We now get the foreign mails carried for
tue postage accruing, and this is well
enough. It American steamers will car-
ry them on those terms they should have
the preference. But the suggestion made
for the appropriation was, that this mill-
ion of dollars would make a beginning to-
ward the restoration of the American Mer-
chant marine. There never was a more
chimerical idea. The preference given to
the subsidizedsteamers would enable them
to rau out competition, and prevent lair
and eqnal business rivalry.
What the American shipping interest
needs to restore it, is the removal ot du
ties, if necessary ot all duties on materials
required for construction, the privilege to
shipping merchants, of buying vessels
where they can buy them the cheapest,
whether at home or abroad, the reduction
of consular fees and all other taxation
which bears heavily on the shipper, and
a government encouragement for a time
at least, to sailor apprentices in the mer-
chant service—bounties if necessary, until
another race of seamen is established in
place ot the gallant band we once had—
now extinct. We aie certainly as able to
do our owu carry ing trade on the ocean,
as other Nations are to do it tor us, if
proper measures are taken to start anew
what we were once prominent in; and we
hope to see a beginning made in this di-
rection. Of course thought is required,
and the suppression of prejudices and un-
sound theories is required, but with our
pre-eminence in intellectual and personal
vigor and activity as a Nation of people?
we should never consent to accept a sub-
ordinate position either on the land or the
sea. Our people, as a whole, are superior
to any other people, because they have
the advantages of amalgamation; and the
restless energy that no other people have.
If our legislators at Washington are
equal to the duty they have undertaken to
perform, there should benodifficalty in re-
lieving us of the shackles which have al-
most suppressed our shipping interests,
and which daily burden our agricultural
interests. American sailors were once the
pride of the American people—where are
they now 1
Public i^rtiiting.
Philadelphia has been notable for many
years as a cent.e of political corruption.
Through the iiumeuse Republican major-
ties obtained in Philadelphia, the State
has been controlled. With political corrup-
tion is ahvayj collided monetary corrup-
tion, bccause money is essential to sus-
tain fraud. But the rotten mass has be-
come so inodorous that even the Republi-
can citizens have revolted, aud on the
15th there was a great contest. The hon-
est citizens had agreed upon Samuel G.
King, independent Democrat for mryor,
and John Hunter independent Republi-
can for receiver of taxes. The bosses ran
Stokely Republican for mayor, heretofore
invincible, aud Geo. G. Prerie Republican
for receiver. Attempts at fraud by the
bosses were anticipated, aud the citizens
party employed 1000 detectives to attend
the various polling places and watch for
villainous action. The result was that
the bosses were only successful in perpe-
trating frauds in one ward, and this
was fruitless, as the polls count out for
King for mayor 78,127
Stokely 72,127
Hunter for Receiver 88,735
Prerie 02,014.
The citizens ticket also carried a ma-
jority of the council. It is supposed that
great frauds will soon be brought to
light. The Sun says:
Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—"There was
a reeling to-day among the bosses border-
ing on a panic. For the first time they
are actually frightened. They cannot
understand how it is that they were de-
feated. The arrangements tor counting
in the Ring candidates were never more
complete. Money was used in a lavish
manner. Each policeman iu the city was
obliged to contribute twenty dollars, and
this money was used in "fixing'' election
officers. There was hardly a ward in the
city whei6 the election officers were not
fixed, and on the night before the election
the bosses were boasting that Stokely
would be elected by 10,000 majority, and
that Hunter, the Citizens' candidate for
Tax Receiver, would not carry one-third
of the wards. The one thing that pre-
vented these plans from being carried out
was fear. As a general thing, the elec-
tion officers took the mom y, promised to
deliver the.ii precincts to the bosses, and
then didn't do it. They felt all at the
time that the eye of one of the thousand
Citizens' detectives was upon them. In a
few wards fraud was successfully carried
out. In the Tenth Ward some ot the
precincts returned more votes than there
are voters.''

A printer cannot fail to observe the
great superiority of the reports printed at
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, over those
printed at the office of the Galveston News.
The typography is superior, and th e pa-
per greatly better; and yet this work at
the littie office put up by the State for the
improvement of the Deaf and Dumb is
said to cost much less than the work done
by contract. It this is a correct state-
ment, why not enlarge the capacity of the
Asylum office, give the pupils the benefit
of an honorable profession calculated to
increase their intelligence and make them
permanently independent, and at t he same
time save money to the State. It is desir-
able that public documents got up for per-
manent reference should be presented in
attractive form. Those printed at the
News office, are upon inferior paper, anil
in general aspect unattractive. Perhaps
they are as well done as the News
could afford to do them and make
a profit, at the coutract price. Still the
argument is good, that if the State can
publish them in better style, tor less mon-
ey, and subserve a purpose of humanity,
it should do so. It is the duty of the
State to give such advantages as it may
without serious loss to the unfortunates
bereft of hearing and speech.
News i'rom .Austin
On Sunday last we received the Daily
Statesman ot the 12th, containing daily
record of legislative proceedings, sent to
us by Mr. Burks—the first and only
paper containing the action of the legisla-
ture sent to as except one sent by Sena-
than a South Carolina census taker.
And in the course of the harangue ot
the aforesaid stump-orator broadside af-
ter broadside of figures,problems in arith-
metic, ingeniously ciphered out were hurl-
ed at the South ; plausible and delusive,
calculated to deceive but as disingenuous
and unfair as the intellect that fa to leafed
them and malignant in their purpose as
the heart that inspiied their utterance.
Still coiitinuring the official evidences
of improvement in South Carolina, and
the South and west, and elaborating his
argument by official proofs, he says—
These are some tlrngs Mr. Presi ient,
that do not indicate "stagnation" or a
"steady declin:," and I have adverted to
them to show to the country how entirely
unreliable are tue statements of partisan
non-reformers, who recklessly resort to
calumny against whole communities and
peoples to effectuate an unholy purpose.
As I have said, the people of the'South
are poor—comparatively {poor—but it is
no disgrace anil they are not ashamed ot
it; but it ill becomes the criminal receiver
of their stolen goods, one who has waxed
fat upon their misfortunes, to chide them
with their poverty.
Rebellion,revolution, war have their les-
sons as well as levenges. They arejmer-
ciless they are cruel they are destructive,
aud the Southern people know what they
mean. Their wounds are cicatriziug, and
the graves of the dead past are sodded
with a respectful oblivion, and would rest
in peace on through the ages but tor the
political hyenas who dig into those graves
and munch the bones and growl over the
dead forms ol the passions that are buri-
ed.
The South, Mr. Preeideut, is deeply iu
tcresfed iu whatever concerns the people
ot the whole country; deeply interested
in the development of the resources ot
the country, and in maintaining the hon-
or and eredit and dignity of the Govern-
ment.
I believe the forthcoming report of the
Superintendent of the Census will co i-
tain the most valuable and complete re-
pository of information that has ever beeu
collected in this couutry, and will illus-
trate a proficiency aud advancement iu
statistical science by the distinguished
and accomplished head of the bnreau that
will place bim abreast of the leading
scientists of the world.
His work will show some curious facts
—I might almost say caprices—in the
movements of populations and the drift
ot political po -ver. The center ot popula-
tion has moved westwardly trom New
York since 1800, along-the thirty-ninth
parallel of latitude, deflecting north or
south as the population would drift north
or sout.i, and in 1S70 it lodged about for-
ty-two' miles north-east of Cincinnati,
Ohio- The census ot 1881 will draw the
center south of Cincinnati aud soulh of
the Ohio River. Such at least are indica
tions at the present stage of information.
* • • * *
And, Mr. President, it will require
something more than the sneers aud
snarls ot charlatans, and carpings of dis-
ippointed malcontents, to drive me from
the good opinion I have of the work on
the tenth census in this State. Those in
structed with the work do not belong to
that breed of comorauts foisted upon her
and sustained by the malevolence and
hatred of some of those republican patri-
ots ot 1S70 who now challenge the efforts
and misrepresent the motives of those
of us who strive to rescue her from the
paralyzing touch of their vulgar hench-
man.
No, Mr. President, there has been no
fraud in the enumeration of the inhabi-
tants of South Carolina. The census has
been taken with fidelity, and the proof is
conclusive, overwhelming, and yet the
author of the charge has not the sense of
justicejto withdraw it or to make honorable
amends for a gross misrepresentation. A
presidential election was pending, and
perveision, prejudice, and injustice were
more efficacious for the purposes in hand
than truth and justice, and right reckless-
ly were they wielded. They served their
pin pose, but the traducer of my State
and her people shall not escape exposure.
The result of that enumeration has con-
vened manv confident predictions of par-
tisan politicians as to the drift of political
power into dismal fallacies. It has bat-
fled the calculations aud clouded the
hopes of so many who hate the South aud
foretold her decadence that perhaps some
allowances should be made for their bad
temper and reckless accusations. Not
content w th criminal participation in
despoiling the South by commissioning
for that special service a band ot greedy
vampires, and sustaining them while they
plied their insatiate avocation, after she
is plundered and bled to depletion, the
chief rallier of that band of spoliators
depreciates her because ot her poverty,
aud upbraids her for tier humiliated at-
tude. Why Mr. President, when the
professional highwayman or outlaw over-
comes aud robs the helpless way,farer he
ever is too magnanimous to insult his vic-
tim by hurling at him vulgar anathemas
aud bitter curses.
Let this political highwayman go learn
humanity and magnanity from the reck-
less outcast and shelter his ignominy
from the hissing storm of scorn and con-
tumely . The lesson. Mr. President, which
this last census teaches is an instructive
one. It deserves to be prayerfully studi-
ed by those who have spent anxious
hours "arguing out" the "steady decline"
and "stagnation" of the South,-
The little State which I have the honor
in part to represent, ot 34,000 square
miles, has lost within the last two decades
not less and perhaps more than three
hundred and fifty million dollars actual
cash values lost to her as completely and
effectually as if sunk to the bottom of
mid-ocean. Within that time she has
also had reconstruction, the ninth census,
tlm reign of the carpet-bagger, and mis-
sionaries from the Northern Methodist
Church and her own mistakes, blessings
enough to have translated her to the
happy confines of elysian fields to the
sublimated heights of Plymouth Rock

these visitations may be regarded from
the different, stand-points, to have con-
signed her to the ninth circle of Dante's

The Passage at Arms between But-
ler of South Carolina and Conkliug, in
in the Senate, came up as follows. But-
'cr thought proper to defend South Caro-
lina from aspersion, and did so by bring-
ing up the late reports of Gen. Walker,
the chief of the Census Bureau: after do-
ing this he said—
"Mr. Butler. This full and complete
reply to the imputations of unfairness
aud.fraud ought to satisly the minds of
all men and put to shame the authors of
the baseless calumnies; but I aui not con
tent to stop here: A certain republican
stump orator on a certain occasion in
New York City, where there was evident-
ly an uncontrollable desire to "fire the
hearts" of his audience concluded that a
just and honest recital of the truth would
fail of that purpose, and therefore chose
the following language of insult and mis-
representation as a more potent appliance
for the occasion:
Pehaps this point will seem to you to
challenge some attention. For the popu
lation of the Southern Stites we must go
back to the census of 1870. That count of
the people was made by enumerators not
selected by Southern Senators and mem-
bers of the House as "non partisans" aud
professional reformers. It was made by
the regular marshals and their deputies,
and the compensation was so adjusted as
to induce thorough visitation and at the
same time to guard against exaggeration
of numbers, iso imputation of fraud was
ever cast upon the work. Such a thing
as a plot to fabricate a monstrous increase
of population in one section in order to
baffle the course of nature and the logic ot
events in another—a plot to change the
balance of power and population in order
to aggrandize one section by establishing
a false basis of represention and appor-
tionment, thus robbing other sections of
tlieii share in groverniug the country, in
levying taxes and appropriating money-
