FORT WORTH. TEXAS. DEC. 11. 1877.

Dallas has horse thieves who have
the audacity to steal a gentleman’s
horse in open daylight in the very
heart of the city. The Herald of
the 7th says Mr. Ivone had a horse
stolen in that manner. Comment is
unnecessary.
The election in Georgia which
lately took place has ratified the
new constitution by a majority at
some 15,000 or 205~000. Atlanta has
been selected as the future capital of
the state. Gen. Gordon will be re-
elected United States Senator by a
large majority.

The Mexican authori ties have re-
fused to deliver up Zeperino Aealos,
who is a Mexican soldier. This man
came cross the river to Eagle Pass
and while under the influence of
liquor, shot a blind man dead, who
at the time was led by a little boy.
This shows plainly what the author-
ities of Mexico intend to do.
It has been hinted that when
congress shall have a majority ot
democrats in the senate, which ^s
likely to take place very soon, that
Hayes will be dethroned and Tilden
'enthroned. We see no reason why
this should take place. They are
both advocates of corrupt moneyed
monopolies, and the nation will be
very little benefited by the ex-
change.
artillery and the Twentieth regi-
ment of infantry, making in all 855
men, have been ordered by General
Sherman to the Rio Grande tv pro-
tect our borders. These companies
are not all full, but reinforcements
will be sent to complete their num-
ber as soon as practicable. Gar
senators in congress from Texas de-
serve a great deal of ci edit for the
energy they have displayed in pro-
tecting our frontier.
Senator Maxey made special re-
quest that General McKenzie be
put in command of the forces, as
everybody in Texas has full confi-
fideriCe in his ability, and believe
him the best officer ever in command
in our state. Ger. Ord thinks there
should be erected by the government
two new posts, one between Browns-
ville and Fort Duncan, the other be-
tween Fort Duncan and Eagle Pass.
These new post will cost about f 100,-
000 each. It seems to us unnecessa-
ry and expensive to do so if there
is a probability of a war with Mexi
eo, for we may, under such circum-
stances, have to move them further
on into Mexican territory. Howev-
er, those who are well aquainted
with the situation of affairs, know
best what the country needs.

There is now no longer any
doubt about the success of the tele-
phone. The conveyance of sound
along the electric wires is, in every
respect, an invention which for ali
time to come will stand side by side
with the invention of the telegraph
itself. To stand on one side of the
ocean and hold familiar intercourse
with a person on the other side, is
indeed a marvel the world has never
seen. Yet this is possible.

Col. Young’s command on the
Rio Grande had an engagement
with the Mexcalero Indians, in which
two Indians were killed and three
wounded. This hostile horde of In-
dians live upon the dreary and deso
late plains of Mexico, where the
cactus and wild sage are the only
growths to be found. The only way
they have of supporting themselves
is by thieving, and they often make
raids into Texas for this purpose.
When these raids are broken up by
the vigorous arm of our troops, we
do not see how thse wild savages
ban exist.
Christmas is near at hand, and
instead of celebrating the day as
heretofore by rowdyism, the drink
ing of egg-nogg, drunkeness and
profanity, let us celebrate it as be-
comes a moral and Christian com
munity. Let all our churches be
filled to overflowing and let us have
able and appropriate sermons in the
day and at night and let the birth-
day of our Savior be hereafter and
forever sacred arid divine. Let no
drunkenness, no rowdyism, no pro-
fanity polute the sacredness of that
sublime day. Carry all your chil-
dren to church, teach them that it is
the birthday ot our Savior, and that
they must not mar its holiness by
all kinds of unmeaning and frivilous
amusements. We sincerely hope we
may not see a drunken man on that
day.
