DRURY LACY, EDITOR.
FORT WORTH. TEXAS. JULY 3. 1878.
The revenue laws are very strin-
gent and inquisitorial, so far as it
respects mixing drinks by saloon-
keepers, who are not’allowed to put
anything in bottles ot liquor with-
out making themselves liable to pay
the rectifiers special tax of two
hundred dollars a years. The re-
tailers must confine their operations
to mjxing drinks, as they are sold
over the counter to customers. The
penalty for violating the law is not
less than one hundred dollars and
not more than five thousand dollars.
The supreme court of Arkansas has de-
cided that levee bonds issued in 1869 and
1870 are unconstitutional and invalid.
About three million dollars in bonds are
affected by this decision. The court de-
clares them worthless.
Several years before the war an
English capitalist, who had loaned
money to that state, tried in vain
during several sessions of the legis-
lature, to get his claim paid, or
even recognized. Taking a seat in
the hall by the side of’ a very fero-
cious member, he mildly remarked
that “money seemed very scarce.”
The indignant representative re-
plied “yes, money is scarce, but
bowie-knives and pistols are damn
plenty.” The fiightened bond-
holder packed his trunk and left for
a more healthy climate.
Paris precinct went againt Throckmor-
tou. This is no surprise, as it is known
that the friends of Senator JVlaxey fear to
have Throckmorton go into the guberna-
torial chair. They are looking ahead to
the time when a successor to their favorite
will have to be elected.
We clip the above paragraph
fVom the Dallas Commercial. We
are not aware that there is any an-
tagonism or rivalry between Throck-
morton and Maxey. To thrust the
senatorial question before the pub-
lic this time is well calculated to
pr#*ffco some against Throckmor-
ton and give his enemies new mate-
rial lor vilification. The zeal of the
Commercial, in behalf of Throck-
morton, has we fear, led it into more
than one act of indiscretion. This
is no time to introduce irrelevant
issues and give form and shape to
questions which should be left^ to
the developments of the future.
These remarks are prompted by the
interest we feel in the nomination
of Throckmorton, and by the kind-
est feeling to wards our cotemporary,
with whom we are in entire accord.

THROCKMORTON A RAILROAD MAN.
The Hon. J. W. Throckmorton, in
his speech at Galveston a few days
since, thus confronts his enemies on
the charge that he is working in the
interests of the Texas and Pacific j
railroad, as against the state. When
the past record of our representa-
tive is examined, and it is seen how
faithfully and efficiently he has
worked for railroads for Texas, all
praise should be awarded to him for
his services:

It is said again that 1 am a raff road man .

I feel prouder of this fact, and find new j

within her border, and I know how her
people toiled and struggled with the vast
expanse of her unending plains, and the
long pilgrimages they were required to
make before they could dispose of the
fruits of their industry. I have seen Texas
since she has been ribbed with steel, and
have heard her gorges drink in the echoes
of her iron horses as they went flying
ahead of the richest trains that ever moved
across this continent. 1 have looked on
th s picture and looked on that, and am
satisfied with the results that are visited
upon a country like ours by railway lines.
It has been said that I am interested in the
Texas aud Pacific railroad. This is not
true. Before I took my seat in congress I
severed every tie that bound me to that
corporation, and to-day do not own one
dime on its book, but 1 am a friend to that

GRANT A DANGEROUS MAN.
As a soldier, General Grant deserves all
the fame and gratitude his party basso
lavishly accorded him. He is eminently a
military man. It might be proper to say
lie is the safest man to whom the general-
ship ol tiie army could be intrusted to-
day. He is honest, determined, stern and
inflexible iu the obedience of orders which1
his judgment may not urge him are utter-
ly destructible to matured plans, aud
prompt iu action. At the head of the ar-
my he would be a tower of strength in
time of trouble, either from without or
within. But he has no capacity for the
conduct ol civil affairs. In the hands of
designing partisans, lie is as clay under
the manipulation of die potter. He has
no mind of his own in political matters,
hut follows blindly the dictation of those
lie may have choseu to advise him. Thus
he is a dangerous man ; not essentially
from any innate disposition to do harm, or
transcend the powers of his station, but
from his inability to detect and prevent
the machiuations of his subordidates in
civil affairs.
The above is taken from the St.
Louis Times, a paper ably conducted
and very pronounced in its opin-
ions. It would be exceedingly
presumptuous in tis to attempt to
disparage the claims of General
Grant as a military man. Ac fully I tpe heroic deeds of our southern
GO BACK ON MY HOME, NEVER !
IIow the hearts of the old Texans
will warm to Throckmorton when
they read this eloquent outburst of
affection for his people in northern
Texas. Those who have traduced
him will not be forgiven. The bit-
ter words used have sunk deep into
the hearts of those who love Throck-
morton and it will be in vain that
his detainers may deny the charges
they have made. They are written
in the book of remembrance and
cannot be effaced or blotted out, not
even by tears of genuine repentance:
I am told that in this beautiful city that
sits like a dimple on the cheek of the gulf,
it is urged that I am from northern Texas,
and for that reason I am a sectional man—
that I cannot get the support of this coun-
ty unless I go back ou the section in which
I live. In 1841, my father moved to Gui-
lin count}'' and pitched his tent amid the
flowers and the free winds that sweep over
that picturesque country. His was the
only white man’s home between Crockett
and the tails ou the Brazos river. I have
grown up with that county, and I know it
aud its people. I have heard its valleys
filled with the whoop of the savages liungi y
for blood, aud have seen the red glare ot
their incendiary torches light up the heav-
vens, while their tomahawks and scalping
knives were doing their work of death
among the early settlers. I have seen
palatial residences rise up from the ashes
of these humble huts, and the choicest
gifts of the most cultivated civilization
supplant the crude customs and cruder
habitations of those who first came to
claim and enjoy the rich lands of that sec-
tion and the richer fruits they produce. I
have enjoyed honors at the hands of that
people, and have represented that land in
the councils both offthe state and national
government, and to go back upon it or its
people would be an act of perfidy ot which
Lean never he guilty. Go hack ou north-
ern Texas, and tor what? Because her
fields are fallow aud her people brave and
generous? Because her granaries groan
with their plenty and her people prosper
in the pursuit of the indussries that en-
gage their efforts? Go back ou my home
because it has sheltered me aud comforted
me? Never, never! No, never!
