The Dallas llerahl and Commercial
prints a lon^ editorial on tlit*
lnent of the state government since the
■war, in which the legislatures and gov
ernors Ih ar a pretty fair proportion of
censure. That paper cus»nisse> the re-
publican administration of governor
Davis and the twelfth legislature with
the remark that thev 1 ft an unenviable
reputation, a;ei regar Is tiie succeeding
period under governor Coke as a great
improvement: yet it proceeds to say:
Gov. Coke was not e- ai to the emer-
gency. The statesman;- hp requisite and
expected was wanting and it is now charge-
able upon the democratic party that it
failed to give the people that entire relief
that they had a right to look for. The pub-
lie debt of the state has neither been k^pt
at a standstill nor decreased since democ-
racy came into power; but, on the contra-
ry, lias been increased. Tnere can be given
no srood excuse for this. Gov. Coke sold
the bonds of the state at eighty-five cents
on the dollar and paid a financial agent
heavily to do it. If there was a necessity
at ali to sell the^e bonds they never should
have been permitted to go under par. The
want of statesmanship evinced in Gov.
Coke s administration has cost the state of
Texas money that runs up into millions in
the shape of public debt: it has cost the
peop e in taxes rendered necessary by the
increase of debt, thousands upon thousands
of dol'ars every year, they ought not to
have 1 ceu called on to pay; it has retarded
the advance and development of the st.ite
to a per cent, that is astounding to con-
template, and it has injrred the demo
cratic party beyond calculation. It
gave birth to the greenback party
Texas, for it has drawn its strength from
the democratic ranks, taking those who
were disgusted with hopes deferred and
with anticipations they had a right to
cherisa, blasted. Gov. Hubbard, succeed-
ing Gov. Coke in the interregnum of legis-
latures, could have no policy of his own
and the most that he could do was to modi-
fy as best he could the errors of that poli
cv alreadv estab ished, which ho hail to
follow. He saved the state the expense of
a financial agent, and he sold bonds obliga-
tory upon him to sell not under par, not at
par. but above par. Winding up an admin
istrat.ion started on a false basis, and car-
rying out theories already under way
which he was powerless to change, he
steered clear of Scylla and Charvbdis and
brought as much order as possible out of
the chaos of a policy ruinous and destruc-
tive from its alpha to its omega.
Then the Herald, with a consistency
not very obvious, turns its batteries on
governor Roberts, and sa3"S his "pay as
tou go " and "live within your means "
hobby is good in the abstract and
good in theory, but alleges that it has
been perverted to make plausible the
most suicidal policy that ever threatened
the welfare of the state, and says crime
is " already well-nigh holding a carni-
val, and has been given new license by
interference on the part of the executive
with the just mandates of the courts in
answer to a sickly sentimentality awak-
ened by a maudlin school inarm." This
is a somewhat exaggerated view of
things, and the fact that it looks rather
to the effect upon the democratic party
than to the results to the whole people
and the state does not give it strength,
though the closing caution to the domi-
nant party is not impertinent or need-
less :
While the democratic party of Texas is
called upon to answer for all these errors
and follies, can it alford in the future to
make such mistakes as those of the past i
Can it afford to be hampered with baek-
woodsism and the common places of medi-
ocrity f There are statesmen in the party
in Texas: there are gentlemen of profound
thought and broad, deep comprehension,
incapable of leading the party into such
sloughs and quagmires of misrule, impru-
dence and mossbackUm as have character-
ized the administrations of its chosen rep-
resentatives in the p'ist, and let them be
brought to the front.
The Vmco Telephone, is not unfriendly
to master Lang, of the state grange, and
thinks worse things might happen than
to send him to the United States senate;
but It can not overlook the fact that
many others of equal claims, pretensions
and tact are anxious for the succession
to the present term of senator Maxey,
and remit;is aspirants who assume that
they are particularly needed,that '' many
are called and f. . chosen." About as
much tin e and money are wasted, and
as many hopes disappointed, in en-
deavors to procure office as in attempts
to secure fortunes by investing in lot-
tery tickets. How many lives have been
"Wasted in the unprofitable pursuit of
office, which, like the gold in Hood's
poem, is hard to get and harder to
hold. That was a good plank in the
know-nothing platform which said that
office should seek the man and not the
man seek the office. Ojc good effect of
closely balanced parties is, that each is
under the necessity of nominating its
best men to secure success. Where
nominations are equivalent to election,
and rings of trading politicians habitu
ally control nominations, majorities lose
their power. The politicians, and not
the people, rule.
TbeCorsicana Courier thinks that no one
in Gov. Roberts's place would have done
differently than he did, with the same
lights before him, in commuting the sen-
tence of Coward and Fields, and that
paper is, therefore, "glad to know that
the governor's heart, as well as head, is
in the right place." The old alcalde
wears these important organs in their
usual places, hut may make mistakes
like other people who do so, neverthe
less. In this case the heart has never
been charged with being wrong. What
the people want is an officer like the
judge who she 1 tears when the lawyers
tnade appeals for criminals, yet con-
Jemned them because the law made it
Jis duty to do so.
The Brenliam Banter is not done
irith the subject of executive interfer-
tnce to prevent the hanging of those
sentenced to death by 'lie regular tri-
bunals under the ordinary process of
law, and says:
As a general rule it may be set down as
a safe pian to hang every m u found guilty
by a jury. The pardoning or commuting
power should be t.kvn out of the ha.n is of
the governor and vested in a hoard oi par-
dons as is the case in Pennsylvania.
The Meridian Blade thinks if the
murderer Coward was entitled to a com-
mutation of his sentence he was entitled
to a free and full pardon.
The Marshall Herald comments as
follows on the proceedings of the late
colored convention at Houston:
The Galveston News of Saturday con-
tains the address issued by the colored
conference of Houston, adopted on
Wednesday last, and ordered published in
that paper. It publishes also the report of
the committee on migranon. Their length
prevents us from presenting them to >ur
readers in this morning's :»sue, but we
Shall endeavor to do so in our next. AVe
think every citizen of the sta*e ought to
read them carefully. Both have" been
written with a great deal of care, and
comprise fully the purposes f r which they
were d signed: first, to embitter the ha-
tred existir-g among the blacks to the
whites: and. second, as an electioneering
document for ttie republican parry in the
campaign of next year. Covering these
grounds, they are remarkable and signifi-
cant. The white people of the state, if
they find that such sentiments as these
prevail among the colored people, will
naturally conclude that it will be the
wisest policy to encourage in every man-
ner possible the exodus of the black peo-
ple. Such a population is unsafe, and the
sooner the disturbing element gets away
the better. The address and report are
replete with misstatements, fallacies
and falsehoods. They are artfully written
and well calculated to deceive the north-
ern people who are unacquainted with the
real condition of things in Texas and the
louth.
The Rockport Transcript administers
> rebuke to some of the hoodlums of
that town for bad behavior at church,
and says they only escaped legal r-inish-
jnent on account of their friends. The
laws should have their way in such cases
as well as others. Nothing shows a
greater want of breeding than a want of
respect for religious exercises. Those
who do not feel prepared to behave
ehould keep away from the churches.
The Hill County Expositor deprecates
!be tendency of the present day to cn-
nrge the powers and objects of govern-
ncnt, thereby adding to the pnblie bur-
Jens for the benefit of individuals, and
fays:
Government has nothing whatever to do
with individual welfare beyond giving
the in protection. We must confine the
government, to its legitimate objects or we
shall be hopelessly ruined. We must get
out of debt and stay out of debt; we must
reduce taxes to the lowest possible rate,
and then the people can work out their
own salvation.
The Waco Examiner condemns the ef-
fort to divide the democracy of Texas
into two parts, one to embrace what is
to be called the '' young democracy," the
other the " moss back democrats," and
thus break up the party. The Exami-
ner refers to the questions which have
lately caused bickerings among demo-
crats in the legislature. The elements
of discord have shown themselves else-
where for some time, as, for example, in
the last regular election for representa-
tives in congress for the fifth and sixth
districts. The Examiner is bold to say,
in reference to the late dispute in the
legislature as to the amount appropri-
ated for public schools:
The spirit of prophecy is upon us, and
we venture the prediction that the young
democracy so called, will make themselves
as contemptible as the sum on which they
are trying to build a new party, if they
persist in seeking to make divisions on
such shallow pretexts.
The Houston Age exclaims, " the
legislature has done well," and says the
main purpose for which it was callcd
has been fully and satisfactorily accom-
plished :
Upon the points submitted by the gov-
ernor in his veto message, the legislature
failed to act at the regular session. The
members took the matter under advise-
ment, and went- home and consulted with
their constituents, and when they got back
to Austin they had fully determined what
was best to be done. They provided for
payment of the state's necessary expenses,
and for the payment ot the interest on the
state's debt; and those things being pro-
vided for, it was ascertained that $275,000
was all that could be afforded for public
schools, and that amount was cheerfully
given. In that particular the legislature
Las done well, and is entitled to the thanks
of the people.
The Denison Herald already sighs for
another holiday, and a-ks " how long
is it till thanksgiving day t" The Her-
ald should remember the adage that
says if every day was a holiday play
would be as hard as work, and attend
to business and be satisfied with free
lunches until Christmas. Texas is over-
doing the holiday and festival business
to an extent that would be alarming to
those who impute the downfall of some
of the great states and cities of antiquity
to this cause.
The San Antonio Herald calls for the
strict enforcement of quarantine against
yellow fever. The same policy is urged
by nearly all the papers; yet even quar-
antine seems to be inefficient to allay
the fears of all or put a stop to reports
of yellow fever, as appears by the offi-
cial announcement of a case in Mem-
phis, which is believed to have been of
local origin, and which revives the old
theory of the germs of the plague re-
maining dormant during the winter after
an epidemic, to break out the succeed-
ing summer. There does seem to be a
liability for two yellow fever epidemics
in as many years in the same place, al"
though this is not often the case. Gal-
veston has been visited ten times by epi-
demics, of which only two were in years
succeeding such visitations the years
preceding; there were epidemics in
1£53 and 1854 and 1858 and 1859—four
in the ten years between 1850 and 1800
—out of ten in upwards of forty years.
It has been thirteen years since the last.
Says the Goliad Guard:
The commutation of the death sentences
of Coward and Fields by Gov. Roberts,
exhibits a degree of indecision and weak-
ness altogether unworthy the executive
officer of a state.
The Helena Record is the title of a
new weekly paper established at the
county seat of Karnes county, by Mr.
W. K. Halltim. It is beautifully print
ed, the editorials are well written, and
(more important than anything else in a
country paper) special attention is given
to local news and interests. It will task
itself particularly to give the news for
the three counties, from which, accord,
ing to law, it jvill receive its legal ad-
vertising: Karnes, Wilson and Live
Oak.
The Columbus Plain-dealer might
make things a deal plainer if it would
not print such sentences as the follow-
ing:
At last the aquia cumbers has busted and
rented itself in a copious supply of the
much needed -tuid so anxiously looked for
in this parched-up portion of our county.
When the proof-reader is away, the
printer's devil has his say.

NAVARRO.
Corsicana Courier: There was a fine
rain out southwestof here Friday,which
will have the effect of doing corn con-
siderable good, and the cotton in the
neighborhood of Wallace's mill and
gin is in fine condition Some pre-
historic bones and teeth of animals of
an enormous size have been dug from a
well about a quarter of a mile south of
Collum's mill. The jaw teeth are about
twice the size of the fist. The weil
itself is very unusual Johnson it Barry
concluded to make a pasture around the
place where the well is dug. There is a
large crack in the earth down in the hol-
low. It has been there for a number of
J%ars, and in any- season of the year a
stone or other substance dropped in
would cause a splash, showing the pres-
ence of water. Messrs. J. it B. con-
cluded to dig a well at this spot. When
they had reached about ten feet the wa-
ter commenced pouring in, and Sunday
evening was running over the top and is
still rising.

in town to have water raised from the

Hesperian : Reports made by several
farmers, that their corn crops would
turn out a fair amount, guarantees to
them one reliable source of income this
year, for prices will be good....Hay-
cutting is being prosecuted with much
vigor We notice that a great many
deaths are of late occurring among the
Mexican population here, but few~days
pass without a burial from some portion
of their quarter. What the reason for
mortality is, we have not been inform-
ed. .. .Last Wednesday morning a num-
ber of our best citizens, residents o?
Frio canyon, had a lively encounter
with a couple of cattle thieves, result-
ing quite serionsly for Mr. John Avant.
Last Tuesday "morning quite early
Messrs John Avant, D.. T.
Richardson and Joe Richardson met a
Mexican on the Frio canyon, driviing a
yoke of oxen, and knowing the cattle
and that they belonged to Mr. Boggs
they informed him about seeing them,
and upon being told that he hud not dis-
posed of them, the correct inference was
made that the Mexican was stealing
them; so the four men aboved named,
together with Mr. Ed Meyers and Mr.
Curry, took the trail and followed it to
the Black water-hole, where the cattle
were found hobbled, but no Mexican
about. They concealed themselves, and
about 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the
Mexican returned in company with an-
other. One of them came up very near
to Mr. Avant, and upon being questioned
as to his business, the Mexican fired at
Mr. Avant, he returning it to the best
of his ability. During the encounter
Mr. Avant was shot through the left
hand. The other members of the party
of citizens engaged in the affair, but
without any known effect upon either
of the thieves. The trail of the two
Mexicans was followed next day with-
out any result, except to ascertain that
one came to Uvalde and the other went
up the Frio.

Brenham Banner: Mr. Brunet, one
of the proprietors of the Austin ice fac-
tory, was in the city yesterday prospect-
ing with a view to starting an ice ma-
chine here... .Harry Hamlett. who mar-
ried Miss Mears, a beautiful and accom-
plished young lady of Georgetown,
Williamson county, some twelvemonths
ago, and who with his wife moved to
Long Point, in this county some four
months since, has taken French leave.
On the 14th of June Mr. Hamlett hired
two fine mules from Mr. Craig and a
wagon from Mr. Adams, for ttie osten-
sible purpose of going to Rockdale on
business, since which time nothing was
heard from him until last Monday even-
ing, when his wife received a letter
dated Montgomery, Alabama, in which
he stated that he would leave the same
night for Jacksonville, Fla., from
whence he would go to Cuba. In the
letter he told his wife that she was an
angel, but that he himself was a devil,
and we rather suspect, as nothing has
been heard of the mules or wagon, that
Craig and Adams think he told the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
He further stated that when he left he
had made up his mind never to write
to her, but on after consideration he had
concluded to write for fear she might
think he had been foully dealt with,
and that she would never hear from
liim again. Hamlett is evidently a hard
case and the probability i« that his wife
is much better off without him.

W. E. C. in Goliad Guard: Borjas is
a new postoffice in Duval county on the
line of the railroad which is being con-
structed from Corpas Christi to Laredo,
Texas. The rancho contains 35,000
acres, and belongs to a gentleman in
New York, it is well adapted to sheep
raising, and has on it a good store and
other buildings. This rancho is well
supplied with grass and water, and,
during the recent dry spell, furnished
grazing and drink for fifteen or twenty
thousand head of sheep and other live
stock. Under the influence of the long-
needed rains the whole face of the
country has put on a new and lively
appearance.
GOLIAD.
Guard: Cotton is opening rapidly.
... - It is quite common to hear farmers
say they expect to make from one-half
to three-fourths of a bale of cotton to
the acre... .Some of our stockmen are
moving their cattle west in search of a
better range. Mr. Bradford left this
week with a herd of six or seven hun-
ired head... ..Joseph Taylor, T^q., of
Goliad, recently started a herd of one
thousand cows and calves to the frontier
in charge of his son Johnny. Mr. Tay-
lor is one among the largest stock-raisers
of this section and his herds are becom-
j too large for this range, hence
his removal to pastures new....
The Charco section has of late been es-
pecially blessed with plenteous showers
of rain, which have revived the crops
and vegetation generally, as well as the
spirits of our despondent citizens. Corn
will now insure a half crop, while cot-
tcu bids fair for a full bale to the acre.
No worms yet. .. Our country will soon
be wound up with wire, and the time
will soon come when "cow-boys" and
sore-back Spanish ponies will not be in
brisk demand.

numerous improvements to his exten-
sive tannery at Town Bluff. His tan-
ning and finishing of leather is of the
best style and quality, and he has in
readiness for market a fine parcel of as-
sorted leather of his own manufacture,
better for ordinary use than any import-
ed leather we can buy... Some very
fine trout are being caught from Sandy

LAVACA.
Herald: Henry Miller, of the Navi
dad. has a splendid crop of corn. He
expects to make forty bushels to the
acre. Cotton looks well, and if the
worms are not too fast for him he will
make a good crop of the fleecy stpale
too.
" That was kind of him."
" But wait a minute. When I got
back and called at Maria's house about
11 p. m.,I found all the party sitting
round the ps.rior looking very serious,
except the bride, who seemed kinder
frightened. ' What's the trouble V said
I , ' what's happened ?'"
" Well, the fact is," says that cheeky
Mooney ; " there's been the most singu-
lar accident, the queerest mistake you
ever heard of in your life. You see,
we were rehearsing the service as usual,
and 1 was a holding Maria's hand just
like this, when young Bings got sorter
absent-minded, so to speak, and the first
thing we knew he pronounced us man
and wife in the regular form, and
he now says we are married in real earn-
est. Too bad, isn't it ? "
" Singular mistake," said the editor.
"Butlhe worst of it was the way that
false-hearted hussey took it. She said
it was pretty hard,"but what couldn't be
cured must be endured, and that she
supposed they couldn't get a divorce
under a year, anyhow, anil a lot of stuff
like that."
" Peared resigned to her fate, as it
were."
"Exactly; and then Mooney chipped
in with a lot of stuff about not crying
over spilt milk, and said he'd take the
furniture off my hands, and pay for the
ring. Said he'd give his note for 'em.
Cheek? Why, that man has more gall
than a pawnbroker's clerk, and I want
you. Sir. Editor, to show him and his
red-headed, big-footed wife up in the
worst way. Accident, indeed! Why,
it's the plainest put up job I ever saw
in the whole course of my life. Just
let 'em have it in italics, if you please,
and I'll take 5n0 extra copies'."
The editor said he'd attend to it, and
has since written to Mr. Mooney to say
that a position as a reporter was always
open to him on his go-ahead journal.
KA1LUOI D NEWS.
Statesman: The sum required, except
$2000, to grade and bridge and cross-tie
the road from Manor to Round Rock
has been subscribed. The mill owners
and lumber dealers of Beaumont have
agreed to furnish ties and bridge timbers
for the ten sections per mile given by
the state. The Cent rai railway company
furnishes iron and spikes and agrees to
run daily trains over the road Of course
it signifies nothing to the old mossbacks
of Austin, but we thought it might be
proper to mention these facts.
Fort Worth bemocral: Huntington's
Southern Pacific road is rapidly ncaring
El Paso, and without an eastern connec-
tion through Texas, the road, when con-
structed, would be valueless and un-
profitable. To secure this connection
and enjoy its benefits is unquestionably
the object of the Central road in its
northwesterly extension from Waco.
But they are not alone in this desire.
The Texas and Pacific and Denison and
Pacific, virtually an extension of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, participate
in this ambition, and there are indica-
tions that the former road at least will
make an effort to obtain the carrying
trade of Huntington's road. The recent
change in the gauge of the Iron Moun-
tain, and other evidences, show that the
road in conjunction with the Texas and
Pacific will make a struggle for the
prize. This may he the beginning of a
new era in the construction of roads in
Texas, which shall eclipse anything in
its frontier history. The race for El
Paso, with the great state of Texas as a
race course, and the trans-continental
traffic as a prize, would be a contest of
interests, which would We watched with
tisfaction, as the spectators would
come in for a share of the gate money.
A PUT-VP JOB IX MATMMOXT.
How Anotlier " Feller Clitpped In"
at the Lint minute and Took the
Girl.
(From the San Francisco News-Letter.]
." I have been asubscri'oer of the News-
Letter for the last ten years," said a
broke up " looking young man coming
into this office yesterday and sitting
down in front of the managing editor,
and I call upon it for aid and assist-
ance."
The editor looked rather pointedly at
the clock, and asked what he could do
for the visitor,
" Why, I want you to hold up to pub-
lic scorn and detestation a fellow called
Mooney and a mean, red-headed girl
named Morrissy."
" Scandal case, eh? "
" A heap sight worse. You see, I
was engaged to be married to that girl
her name's Maria—and Dr. Stone was
to hitch us up the first of the month,
so I asked this mean cuss, Mooney, to
be one of the groomsmen."
"He consented, of course?"
"You bet he did You see, Mooney
has a big black mustache and—and all
that—and he's a good deal of a masher,
as it were. He said he'd try to make
it lively and pleasant for the brides-
maids."
" And did he? "
' " Why, be actually made love to all
four Got the other groomsmen furious
by flirting with the whole lot. Told
'em it was the correct thing in Europe
for the groomsmen to kiss the brides-
maids all round before and after the
ceremony, and that they ought to meet
and practice to get tha thing in good
running order."
" Did they practice?" said the editor,
laying down his pen.
" Did they ? Why, it was just dis-
gusting the way they went on every
evening. To see that villain Mooney
pretend to steer down the aisle and back
up against the chancel-rail, and then,
when the mock service was over, kiss
and paw around the girls, would have
made your hair raise a foot. Why, he
actually began flirting with my Maria—
I mean that Morrissy girl."
" Made love to the bride, eh?"
" Exactly; and she a-letting him do it
—mind you. Well, yesterday they said
that they were going to have a final re-
hearsal " that night,"and to make the
thing more perfect they intended to get
Bings, the young divinity student, to
read the service. And as I was going
over to Oakland with a load of furni-
ture for our new house. Mooney said he
would officiate in my place."
NOTES AND Ol'lNJOSS.
New York Star: Toward the close of
the struggle between congress and the
president, senator Thurman, in the
opinion of Hon. Mr. Evarts, "oozed
out as he has often done before." He
must have borrowed the idea from Mr.
Evarts, whose itch for office has caused
him to do more oozing out than any
other man who ever used his " respecta-
bility " to cloak his treachery to princi-
ple.
Philadelphia Press: While the demo-
crats from Maine to California are
clamoring for an inflation of the cur-
rency by the "full remonetization of
silver," and are preparing for a mighty
crusade against the national banks,
many of these institutions are quietly
going into liquidation because the sup-
ply of money far exceeds the demand,
and their profits are not sufficient to jus-
tify them in continuing business. Yes-
terday the Lehigh Valley National
bank and the First National bank at
Bethlehem, both solid institutions, be-
gan to wind up on account of the scar-
city of borrowers and the low rates of
interest. Other national banks in vari-
ous parts of the country are preparing
to surrender their charters.
Washington Post: Republican journ-
als are charging that the appropriations
for the present fiscal year are "larger
than those for any year since the war."
As this money was appropriated on the
estimates of radical cabinet officials,
after judicious paring down, and as the
executive, the radicals in congress and
the press of that party were continually
charging the democracy with trying to
" starve the government," the responsi-
bility for any excess, if there be any,
must, rest with the radical party. lly
the theft of the presidency that orgam-
ganization still controls, in a great de-
gree, the expenditure of public funds.
The departments complain that public
business is impeded and the public ser-
vice injured by insufficient appropria-
tions. If the money demanded is not
granted, the " confederate brigadiers
and their northern allies are crippling
the government." If it is granted we
hear a screech about " democratic ex-
travagance." The people will under-
stand that the executive department—
the control of which was stolen from the
democracy—expends all the public funds
appropriated, with the exception of the
limited sum voted for the expenses of
congress, and even that part of the pub-
lic expenditure is controlled by laws en-
acted by the republican party.
New York Herald: It has been as-
serted in the recent debates in congress
that the people of Massachusetts or of
California have a proper interest in the
congressional elections of New York,
inasmuch as their own votes in congress
might be nullified by the vot s of the
New York members. If this strained
argument were yursoed to its logical
consequences it would lead to some very
absurd results. It would establish the
right of congress to regulate the ap-
portionment of members after each de-
cennial census. Frauds in elections can
never make a difference of more than
one or two members from any state;
but the gerrymandering process by
which legislatures divide their
states into congressional districts may
make a difference of three or four
members in all the larger states. Is
Massachusetts or California entitled to a
voice in marking out the congressional
districts in the state of New York? The
action of the state legislatures in creating
congressional districts has altogether
more influence in determining the politi-
cal complexion of congress than a few-
false votes in the choice of members
Since it is admitted that congress can
not interfere to prevent party gerryman-
dering by the state legislatures, what
sense is there in the federal election
laws! If a member is elected by fraud,
congress, which is the final judge of the
election of its members, can unseat the
fraudulent candidate, and this seems an
adequate remedy for fraudulent elec-
tions.
Philadelphia Times: There Is no dis
pute between the president and congress
as to the proper judicial duties of the
marshals. All that was desired for such
services was freely proffered by con-
gress; but, with nearly 800 deputy mar
shals at an election in this city, most of
whom were notorious criminals or politi-
cal rounders, and none of whom were
from the ranks of our most respected
citizens, and like abuse of partisan
power in most of the states of the
union, congress was but faithful to the
freedom of elections by refusing appro-
priations for election marshals, and such
will be the considerate judgment of
of every dispassionate and upright citi-
zen. The responsibility for the failure
of the appropriation for United States
marshals, therefore, fairly rests on the
president and the partisan revolutionists
who inspired him to hinder legislative
appropriations bceause money could not
be had for the most arbitrary and vio-
lent partisan efforts. The absence of
money to pay deputy marshals will
doubtless chili the ardor of the Sherman
movement in the south, where Sherman
delegations to the next national conven-
tion are now in process of manufacture
at the cost of the public treasury; but
no legitimate public service will be em-
barrassed by the foolish obstinacy of the
president. "The regular marshals, like
the army officers two years ago, when
the republican senate refused to pass the
democratic house army appropriation,
are certain to get their pay, and their
salaries can be advanced with safety;
but congress has given notice to
the country that no deputy marshal
or supervisor will be paid for partisan
duties, and the country will heartily
sustain congress In adhering to its posi-
tion with inflexible determination. It
may make a bitter issue between con
gress and the president next winter, but
the chances are even that the president
will not adhere to any policy, whether
right or wrong, from July to January,
and his mood may make him harmo-
nize with the legislative power when
the regular session commences. In
what congress has not done there is
much to give thanks. In what it has
done of actual legislation there is noth-
ing to complain of and something to be
grateful for, and in what it may do
hereafter enlightened public sentiment
will be certain in the end to direct it.
There will be peace, because the party
that hinders peace will be broken.
Philadelphia Record: The business
men of all parts of the union should set
their faces like flint against the efforts
of knavish politicians and their journals
to keep alive sectional animosity, and
should let the party managers know
that they will sustain no party which
will persevere in movements calculated
to impede commercial and social inter-
course. The legitimate interests of trade
and manufactures involved are far too
great to be made the playthings ot un-
scrupulous partisans; and every candid
man will acknowledge that peace, har-
mony and friendly intercourse between
the sections will benefit the country to
an incalculable extent. Why should
enmity continue to exist ? Fourteen
years have passed since our civil strife
ended. The north had immensely
greater military and financial recources
than the south had, and the latter
was overpowered and compelled to
surrender. The people of the
south were impoverished by the
war, the lives of a large part of the vig-
orous men were sacrificed, pecuniary
means were exhausted and property de-
vastated. The northern people devoted
many lives to the effort " to save the
union," and a mountain of debt was im-
posed upon the industry of the peopie:
bufc the politicians were enriched.
Myriads who live in elegant mansions
and drive line horses would be earning
subsistence by humble work if there
bad been no war, and the desire of maux
to repeat the lucrative operations of the
war causes them to excite the malignant
feelings whieh drenched our country
with blood. The northern states of the
Atlantic slope have great manufactur-
ing facilities; those of the northern
part of the Mississippi valley pro-
duce immense quantities of cereals
and provisions, and the states
of the south furnish in unlimit
ed quantities the great staple of
textile fabrics and many other valuable
articles. Why, then, should there be
hostility between the sections whose
business intercourse is undoubtedly be-
neficial to all? While the mischief-
makers are using every means in their
power to provoke sectional bitterness,
the manufacturing nations of Europe
are looking on, like hawks, to grasp
every advantage to be gained by our
folly. Can we not tolerate the opinions
of men who do not think as we do? Is
it not one of the fundamental principles
of our republic that citizens slia.il have
the right to hold and to express their
opinions without molestation? If the
southern people are wrong in their
views with regard to the character of
our government, is there not wis-
dom and talent enough in the states-
men of the north to convince them
of their error? Three years
ago we had a grand celebration in this
city in honor Oi the hundredth anniver-
sary of the declaration that the common-
wealths which had been English colo-
nies had become free and independent
states; and yet southern statesmen are
denounced as enemies of the republic
for regarding this declaration as a re-
ality. In a former generation the great
statesman of Massachusetts, Daniel
Webster, gained an immense reputation
for an argument intended to show that
the sovereignity of the states was merged
when the constitution was adopted. His
argument satisfied northern men, but
did not convince those of the south; and
is not the field open for the most bril-
liant talents of the advocates of supreme
power in the federal government? Can-
did argument will offend no one, and
unless the friends of consolidated power
can sustain their views by fair reasoning
they should cease denunciation. A gen-
uine acknowledgment of the right of
every one to express honest opinions
will put an end to much hostile feeling.
A. ROMANCE.
Singular Complication* and a
Strange 31fPtins-A 'Woman Wi t ll
Two i£u*i>aud».
[Ogdensburg Journal.]
For several days sensational accounts
of the marriages of the three parties
named below have been going the rounds
of the press. We have been at some
pains to secure the facts in the case, and
they are as follows: Nellie Delaven, a
daughter of John Delaven, of Canton
village, came to Ogdensburg about the
close of the war, and entered one of the
milliner shops as an apprentice. She was
good looking and of prepossessing man-
ner. Shortly after her arrival she made
the acquaintance of Frant W. Richards,
a young man then residing here. He was
a protestant and she a catholic. They
were married here without the consent
or knowledge of her parents and
moved at once to Canton. Her
parents could certainly have made no
opposition to the marriage before it oc-
curred, and they now say it was never
unsatisfactory to them. For three years
the parties lived pleasantly together at
Canton. Richards then determined to
better his situation, and went west
alone. He secured a place as brakeman
on a Wisconsin railroad, and intended as
soon as be could to send for his wife.
Before that time came, however, an ac-
cident occurred by which he was se-
riously injured. Dispatches were sent
to his wife to come to his dying bedside,
and the papers placed his name among
those fatally injured. As was to be ex-
pected, Mrs. Richards desired to go to
him, but bein<r in straitened circum-
stances, and believing that she could do
him no good, did not. Hearing no fur-
ther from her husband, she gave him
up as dead. After working at the mil-
linery business in Canton for some three
years she went to Oswego and opened a
millinery store in that city. There
some six or seven years ago she w as
married to John Tule, with whom she
has lived since. Their life has
been a happy one, and one child, less
than a year old, has been born to them.
To return to Richard: He was under
the doctor's care at Fond du Lac several
months, and finally entirely recovered.
He had heard nothing from his wife and
concluded that she did not want to hear
anything from him. His life after that
was one of a roving kind, in this busi-
ness one month and in that another. He
erected telegraph poles in Mexico, and
worked on the railroads of Texas. At
the breaking out of the yellow fever he
was running between Galveston and San
Antonio. He was then promoted to the
conductorship of a freight train, which
he ran into New Orleans to provision
the city. About six weeks ago he got a
leave of absence and went to Canton.
He has a sister, Mrs. Lena Smith, resld-
iding there, and his wife's relatives still
live there. On his arrival at Canton his
wife, Mrs. Tule, was notified by Sirs.
Smith that he was there. She at once
went to Canton and had an interview
with him. The story that she was on
her way to see a sister in the east seems
to be a myth. Richards was at
Canton for several days teaching the
bovs how to play billiards and visiting
old acquaintances. He was known by-
some as " Texas Jack," though why he
should bear that name it would perhaps
be hard to tall. On the 15th inst. he
left Canton, saying that he was going to
Massachusetts. It is also understood
at Canton that he left New York on the
16th for Topeka, Kansas His wife left
Canton the 9th of this month, and her
friends at Canton understood that she
was to return to her husband No. 2 at
Oswego, and would continue fp live
with him. The Oswego papers and a
dispatch to the San both indicate that
she had a tearful separation from hus
band No. 2 at Oswego, and that she had
gone west with Mr. Richards. Be this
as it may. the reader may pay his money
and take his choice, leaving her with
whichever hnsband he has the most
sympathy with.
Eads proposes to haul ships across the
isthmus on a ten rail track as easy as
canal boats were formerly hauled over
the mountains in this state. He says a
ship canal will cost $140,000,000 and
take twenty-five years time. He will
engage to build a road to do "tie same
work for $50,0, i0,000 and finish it in five
years. 'V e can't wait twenty-live years,
and therefore prefer the Fad* plan. He
can do it if any man can. [Pittsburgh

AND FXCS EALT,
News Office. Thursday. July 10.
The distressing news from .t.emphia ex-
ercised a very decided influence on va~:ues
to-day, and the demoralization of western
markets checked the jobbing movement
here. The possibility of the yellow fever
spreading as it aid last year, and interfer-
ing with the distribution of provisions to 1
the south through their regular < hau-
nels. has unsettled prices and caused weak-
ness in meats nnd other hog products.
Wheat has sustained the shock better
owing to further unfavorable accounts
from crops in England, and quotations as
given yesterday are still freely bid. There
were some sales of corn to-day from the
land.ng at easier prices, but oats are more
ftmly held, and dealers bid 38c for choice
state.
Hides have been more active. Receipts
werr larger and prices are firmer.
There were some sales of wool to-day
amounting to WOO pounds at prices ranging
from 1^>5^25c. The market is settling
and steadying at the reduced range of
prices given some time ago.
In cotton there was a stronger feeling
attributed by some to the Memphis trou-
bles and what may follow, but according
to our New York correspondent the im-
provement in that market was due to the
opening of a margin for filling shipping
orders.
COTTON.
There was nothing eold to-day. but a
further revision of prices shows a decline
of ^c on low middling and grades below.
Liverpool is unchanged for spot and steady
at a partial decline of 1-ltxi. on futures.
At New York there was a better demand
for spot, and futures closed V@15 points
higher than at opening.
