THE WATS AKD nEltll COJI-
niTTEE.
While the public has been agitated
upon the question of high larriffs prc-
ducidg high prices that impoverish
the many and enrich the few and
while the press has clamored In the in
terest of cheapv " n( cheaper salt
and cheaper literature there has bi.cn
some invisible hand at work upon the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Reprci-entatiTe? and every
bi.l tending to cheapen imports has
been bidden away as soon as heard
of and relief hss appeared brpe-
less. The storing away of vital prop-
ositions of this sort has become some
what monotonous and members bad
become very restive under impositions
practiced upon them when Reprercn-
tat've R. W TownshcnJ of Illinois
threw a bombshell directly into the
midst of these committeemen which
made at least one lively day in the
II -use. The projectile that made all
the uproar came in the shape of a bill
to revise and amend certain sections
of the revised statutes eo as to pliee
on the free list suit printing type
printing paper and the materials used
in the manufacture of printing piper
and its reference was secured to the
Committee on Rvieion of the Liws of
which Mr. Townshend is a member.
The bill was not understood until af-
ter its reference when the fun begin
in which even a Texas member along
with others were qaught just where
opinion has placed a msjanty of the
Ways and Msans Committee in the
hinds of the manufacturers' combina-
tion. The high tariff men at once set to
woik to get the bill recalled and placed
in possession of this very committee
that has shown such a fondness for
pocketing: all bills proposing to inter-
fere with present tariff rate?. Conger
supported by Gaitiuld went to work
to rob the journals of any reference
to the fact that the bill had been
reerred to the one instead of the
other committee. Messrs. Morrison
Carlisle Tucker and Mills of the
Wavs and Means Committee voted
s'.cadily against allowing the bill to be re-
ferred to their committee and the strug-
gle fiaally becamo a fight for some ac-
tion by a committee for or against free
type free paper and free salt. McKcn-
sic of Kentucky designated Mr. Gar-
rU'ld'i efforts to amend the journal as
an one to falsify the action of the
Il.iuce and Mr. Townshend declared
iu a bitter reference to the course of the
Ways und Means Committee that his
purpo.-e was to give his bill to a com-
mittec that had not shown its determi-
nation to mother all legislation of a
character tending to amend or abolish
tariff rates and be declared that he
had just as well burn up his bill as to
haye it placed in its hands. Gar-
field then went off on his e:ir and
Townshend brought him to his pedes-
tnls again by telliug him flatly that he
"uttered a deliberate falsehood." Pend-
ing discussion the Houbs adjourned
after the high tariff men had gotten the
biggest ecaro they have- yet had. Em-
boldened by the course of tho minority
cn this occasion in the House the
friends of revenue reform will
certainly stick a peg down &b
far as they have progressed and
make every member come before the
country and make his record on this
vital question. In the Ways and Means
Committee Messrs. Wood Phelps and
Keilcy are known to be in favor of put
ting paper and stuffs used in its niana
however we believe can be said of
Mr. Mills whose 'successful conduct as
a banker at Corsiccna secured him a
p laoe on the committee.
THE ANTI-THIRD TERIUERS.
St. Lnuis failed to secure the Derm-
cratic convention but it is going to
have a national convention after all.
The anti-third-tcrmers will meet there
on the sixth of May and tho purpose
is to frighten the Chicago convention
cutcf its wita by declaring that tho
sense of the Republican party ia op-
posed to Grant. If the sense of the
Republican party be reflected alone
through those who have received cfricc
from Mr. Sherman then it is certainly
against Mr. Grant but the masses of
the party are for Grant and Blaiue and
properly represented these two men
will constitute the Chicago ticket. The
state convention which met tho other
day in this city was clearly a Grant
body. Grant was undoubtedly the
choice of three-fourths of its member?
and delegates to Chicago would clearly
have been instiucted to support him
fiist last and all the time had not Mr.
Davis come to his own defense when
hardly a moment was left him in re-
trieving his declining power. MrBlaine
would have been tho second choice of
the convention and it was noticeable
that his friends were not the ene
mies of Grant. Probably a dozen
members of the bodv. led bv
Revenue Collector Pease representing
Shtrmsn were positively opposed
through interest sake to Gen. Grant
but there were certainly-no more than
this many. I? may therefore be seen
why this St. Louis meeting is called as
a niyi convention. Besides declaring
against Grant on the third term princi
ple the call for this convention an-
nounces that 'all Republicans through
out the United States In sympathy with
the movement are cordially invited to
a'tend." If is one of these doubtful
thins which may represent a re-
spectable cumber ot people in some
of the states bnt a Texas rep-
resentative would represent nobody
but himself. An Invitation is given
to Republican clubs to send delegates i
and now we want to see what Repub
licans In Texas are going to form re-
spectable crganizUiocj for this pur-
poe. Bat the St. Louis papers think
it is going to be a big thing on Ice but
there ia no more chance of .it cooling
the Chicago convention down to the
paint where it1 will fmzs on to Sber-
uu than there is for Jiff Dvis t j be
the Chicago nominee. It is written in
the book of fate that Uiysees S. Grant
U to be th6 nominee of the Rt-publican
party that the Di mr crjt'c ccrai-
ne may fiax the 'Vtron-r man" put
in training for the monarchy.
The California members of Congress

MR. lET.lOtH US OJLD JIBX.
Got Seymoub- who is now seventy
three year old and who ia the favor-
ite like Andrew Jickion cf many
Democrats .tl-cla:e be i not and will
cot be a caauii&te for the presidency.
He say he is tL? oldest prominent
man now in tLs party and that he ex-
pects soon to lead iff in another direc-
tion than towards" the White House.
He teaches that thia wrangling over
old men for standard bearers is of no
profit to Democrats; since it arrays
young men in strife over those who
are soon to pass away and
be forgotten and are hence
not wcrth fighting about. He goes on
like a Solon and telia that in his
younger days he entered into bitter
contents oyer such men as Clay Cass
and Van Buren and that before -he
knew it .they were all dead. "It is
foolish" say3 Mr. Seymour "for
young men to waste their time in quar-
reling over or espousing the cause of
old-men." While we differ with Mr.
Seymour in this proposition knowing
that it ofien becomes the duty of young
men to select in their leaders age
coupled with wisdom we are
free . "to admit that ' tha proposi-
tion applies with great aptitude to
the national struggle through which
we are abou'. to pa?s. Were Mr.
Seymour twenty years younger he
wouiJ no doubt be the presidential
candidate cf the Democratic party.
His purity of purpose bis exalted
character and his coble bearing In pub-
lic life make him a leader to whom
younger men should turn for example
and if wa only ss:ure a candidate so
exalted as Mr. Seymour it ia written
that once more these United Slates are
to be raised towards that exalted
plane in politic! affairs that dis-
tinguished the administrations of Jef-
ferson and ot Mod roe and of Jackson.
The New York World has been inves-
tigating on a line which shows that Mr.
Sjymour's conclusions are at this time
being quite generally adopted. This
paper 1ih3 been endeavoring to find
some if flection of public opinion from
the ycuu-; men in the institutions of
l.'arniog in the Northern and East-
ern St-Ue?. and the aentiment has
been largely in favor of Biyard
and of Blaine both of whom
are in their fifty-second year while
Mr. Seymour is not yery many years
the senior of Mr. Tilden. In Colum
bla College New York the preference
is one for Tilden to oyer four for Bay'
ard. while at Princeton it is one to
sixteen. The World .is satisfied too
that nine tenths of the active business
men of New York feel ju3tas do these
vouths at the institutions. They are
tired of the hacks tired of Tilden and
wish to be free fiom the despotic rule
which he has used for mdny years
for I113 own agrandiseinent tired of
the wrecker and of being wrecked and
wish to inaugurate a new era with
new men and living vital issues that
lead a nation on to grandeur. Mr
BavarJ has imbued the youth of the
country with his honesty and his states
manehip looking not to the expe
diences of to-day but to the safety and
solidity of the future. Mr. Bayard is
yet a young man but he possesses de
fined purposes that have secured
him the confidence of a'1 but
time servers and tricksters. He meet
the opposition of many who have axes
to irrind. and who are anxious to
o '
mount if need be. upon the ruined
fortunes of peoplea. Thesebo will en
slate convention and at the national
convention but smong the untram
meled multitude he is mighty because
he is honest and true and because
they sec in bim the typification of an
exalted civilization and of the noblest
aspirations.
And now JcBjie Raymond declares
she will have money or the blood of
Senator Hiil who has made an affida
vit before the authorities of the die
trict of Columbia that he knows noth
log of her; that he is not the father of
her child; that she visits his house in
his absence and that she annoys him
very much ; that he never saw her but
once in Atlanta; that she ia a woman
of abandoned character and that he is
informed that she threatens his life.
Sam W. Small helps Senator Hill swear
on all thse points and the authorities
are left to do as they think best under
the circumstances. In reference to
Senator Hill's troubles the Knoxville
Chronktes Washington correspondent
tays it is idle for him to ignore the
charges made by Mrs. Bu-Ivia Lock-
wood ; that if she has libeled the Sen-
ator she is amply responsible for hav-
ing done so. This correspondent goes
on and takes it for granted that Mr.
HiH is guilty and lands Mrs. Lock-
wood but unfortunately for the cor-
respondents reputation for t ruth f ul-
na?? it is stated that 'Mrs. Lock-
wood is a fine looking woman."
By parity of reasoning "after this
has been said . it may be assumed
that the first principle of truth are
lacking in this correspondent. Never-
theless Ben IXili is just now enjoying
a reputation that no man would readily
assume for htm and the latest story is
that he has agreed to send Jessie Ray
mond and 'B?n nil! Raymond" as he
is known m Washington society back
to ueoresa.
The Democratic state convention
will be held as follows: Alabama
June 2; Arkansas June 2; Connecti
cut April 28; Florida June 10; Illi-
nois June 10; Indiana June 9; lows
April 7; Kansas May 2G; Kentucky
June 17; Louisiana April 12; Massa
chusetts held last fall ; Michigan Jane
8; Missouri My2S; Mississippi Jane
2; Nebraska March 31; New Hamp-
shire My 5; New Jersey May 19;
North Carolina Jane 17; Ohio May 6;
O.gcm April 7; Pennsylvania April
23; S uth Carolina June 2; Tennes-
see June 1; Texas April 20; Virginia
May 19; West YirginU bold no state
convention to elect delegates to the na-
tional convention but leaves it this
time to each congressional district to
elect three delegates and these nine are
to elect ft tenth ; Wisconsin May 12.
Tire postoffice department is begin-
ning to furnish the members of Con-
gress with official envelope free of
cost to answer nominally inquiries
made by their constituent relating to
congressional and government busi-
ness. But this is simply an indirect way
of reviving the franking privilege and
it worst abuser. It may be too that
the Star service cats little figure in
thi kindness to congressmen.
Mast of the paper pronounce most
favorably for Hon. John D. Temple-
ton in hi candidacy'for the position ot
Attorney General. It is represented
by those who know most of him that
be ha been a laborious student of the
law and that Lis mind has a p??i'ive
legal turn eminently qualifying him
for the position to which he owpirr".
He has attained distinction at .the I n.r
and has already bees. urged as a fit
person to occupy a teat upon
the bench of bis judicial
tilct. He has made an exc-l'.r.t
and painstaking state cfii?er and
the assurance may be Rhe.". tl-' ni.-t
only ability but devotion to public n-
terests would signalize the administra-
tion of the department of ju;ce un-
der thia gentlemia. The health of
Mr. Templetoii e'year ago was not
good but it is now excellent an I le
give promise of a long life of useful
ness.
The following suggestive paragraph'
especially to those who think t litre f.?e
mints of money in the uewspap: r busi-
ness IB from the Bjston Vf op.;: ol
the oldest and best txpfrieicd jour-
nals on the Whole Aoierirm continent.
It says :
Senator David DavU shei i rood
sense in declaring agaius. the pn-jt-it
tariff system and especisl;y in advocat-
ing a removal of the restrictions on the
press. "What food is to the I ody the
press is to tne mind' wa3 a felicitous
and comprehensive statement of the
case. Mr. Brooks stated st Washing
ton that during forty-one years' rxo1:-
rience in journalism in New Yoik City
he had seen the birth and death of 123
daily papers in that city and that to-
day but three papers aw there in exist-
ence which were published in 1837.
This shows that journalism at best is
quite precarious business and ouht
not ti be inordinately taxed for the
benefit of a few monopolists as is now
the fact."
TEXAS POLITICS.
The Democrats of Oviila in conven-
tion declared in favor of O. M. Rob-
etts for Governor and they "hcartly
commend 'the general tenor of his ad-
ministration aud particularly his hon-
esty official integrity and 'pay as you
go' policy." These Democrats also re-
commended to the national convention
the name of Hon. Tugs. F. Bayard as
the most eligible candidate ftr Presi-
dent believing that 'he can command
a larger vote than any man Republi-
can or Democrat ia the United States
and if elected would make a most ex-
cellent President."
Tho Gonziles Enquirer thinks noth
ing should be done just now to impair
good works already began by the Dem-
ocratic party and that it 13 unwise to
change in the lep.3t machinery that lias
been used in success. It concludes:
This is a time of great importance to
Republican principles in the govern
ment; a time when the party tliouid b
thoroughly organized; a tims wlnn
nothing should be done to create
affection ; a time when we should nomi
nate with caution and endeavor to ( b-
tain a candidate around whom every
lover of country can rally &nd wa dresd
any experiments. Mmy in tho Demo
cratic party arc wedded to the two-
third rule and we fear discontent will
be aroused at a time when union is cur
only hope if this old landmark is
wiped out. Let 113 nut for.;;-.ko the
old craft until the storm id over aad
we see a better vcehcI in view. We
cannot change shipi in mid-'.Kvnr..
when a storm is raging without great
peril. Let ua wait until wc have en-
tered the harbor of success am! the
old ship is kid ou the dry dork of
safety then lepair.
The Shetman Courier assumes t';e
role of judsce snl piisstB judgment
upon Gov. Roberta as follow? :jwG;;rI
FalitftVio exercise the pardoning pew
er is certainly strange and past find
ing out. There ha3 b?en no consisten
cy m it. A worthless man compara
tively is killed by a worthless man as
in the case of Tocttle-Brencer in this
county. Au appeul was made by the
most respectable portion cf this ccm-
munity for execuftva clemf r.cy racry
aeking for commutation the death
sentence to imprisonment for life
Two of the mist accomplished .ladies
of this city bore the petition to Aus'in
and plead for mercy forToettle on be-
half of the good women aud men of
Sherman and vicinity. lie heeded not
their appeals but poor Tocttle who
never swould haye bein sentenced to
death bad be had money and f.-iends
to stand by him in his defense must
bang. A rapist and two cold-blooded
murderers are commuted while iu an
other CS83 a young man with tho evi-
dence by no means so clcur for the
murder of a woman is hung. The
course of the Governor in these cases
certainly must be condemned by the
Governor's best friends.
