Turochmorton vs. Maxey.
Iu the Times of week before last, was
an article by a correspondent, which no-
body thought proper to reply to, but in-
asmuch as the Sherman Courier has cop-
ied this part of, it—"The answer is obvi-
ous. They knew that the people oi the
connty preferred to retain senator Max-
ey in the place he has so faithfully and
honorably filled, and they dared not sub-
mit the issue. The writer is not hostile
to Governor Throckmorton. Upon the
contrary, he honors his character and
has faith in his patriotism, and warmly
supported him for governor in 1878; but
he recognizes the faot that senator Max- _
ey has made an able, faithful and elidci j
ent representative of the interests of Tex- J
as." We think it just to say that the '
frieuds of Governor Throckmorton while
he was a candidate for elector represent-
ing the democratic presidential ticket,
deemed that it would be in all respects
wrong to withdraw a single vote from
the Hancock ticket, by mixing the presi-
dential question with any question ot the
advancement of Governor Throckmorton
himself. Indeed with his strong sense ot
duty to the national ticKet, he absolutely
reprehended any such movement. As to
the other question of which of the candi-
dates for senator, the people of Red River
prefer, we hare little doubt that two-
thirds of theiu prefer Governor Throck
morton, and have always preferred
him. The present Senator from Red
River county preferred him, and voted
for him when Gen. Maxey was elected.
Onr personal relations with each of these
gentlemen is such that we have not de
sired to say much editorially. We told
Gov. Throckmorton when he was here,
that wo opposed his election before, be-
cause he was then so closely connected
with the railroad interest, that we feared
it would be said if he were elected that
Tom Scott had put another state in
his breeches pocket, not that wo feared
that ho would do the Stats any wrong.
But he is not now, nor has he been for
years the attorney of the Texas Pacific
road, and we know that he is a true pa-
triot, a man of ability, and, in our opinion,
capable of rendering more adequate sup-
port to Governor Coke in the senate in
serving the interests of Texas, than any
other member of the present delegation.
His experience iu legislation is of many
years duration; his acquaintance with
public men is as extensive as that ot any
other in.<n iu Texas, and his personal mag.
netisin is greater than that of any oth-
er. For these reasons we deem that he
wouid bo of eminent service to Texas il
i "ieted to the senate, though we do not
p >pose to quarrel with any one who
th. ks differently, or make any ser ions
cha ?es against General Maxey, whose
com e in some matters has, we think,
evinced wane ot statesmanship. It is
always a delicate matter to decide a con-
test between personal friends, yet if we
voto at all, we have frequently to do it
There is a claim of patriotic duty which
every man owes to his country which i:
superior to the claim of mere personal
friendship. As between these two gen-
tlemen, both have long been our person-
al frtmids; both were old Wliigs whom we
had to fight years ago. Both are relia-
ble demociats now. The true question is,
which could render the better service to
Texas from political judgment and per
sonal address? Wo ,-think Throckmor-
ton ! This is our judgment: we do not
propose to infuse any bitterness into the
declaration of it; but we are very clear
in our opinion that two-thirds ot the peo-
ple of Red River county prefer Throck-
morton.
Thomas, the right bower, the Iett
bower, the main bower, and the only
Bower of the Pauola Watchman has
commenced instructing those one horse
Texas editors in the swamps of the Sab
ine, in the art and mystery of orthogra-
phy, commencing on words of two sylla-
bles. When he get3 these low country
fellows in a tolerable state of proficiency,
we may look for him up here to establish
a spelling bee, and instruct a class for
both sides of Sulphur. So look out all ol
you who never went through the spelling
book, and have only an indefinite idea
ot a dictionary. Thomas is a reformer,
with very radical ideas. What drew
Thomas' attention to the particulai word
that he makes the example now, is a phii
osophical proposition, suggestive iu its.
nature.
Contemptible.
As usual, the Northern press is toady-
ing to every new celebrity. Now it is
Sarah Bernhardt. If we were near her,
we would certainly go to hear her. Nev-
ertheless she is estimable only in her ca
parity as an actress and artist. Socially
she is not worth men; ion, aud this follow-
ing of her footsteps by leading journals,
describing the furniture of her apart-
ments, and every movement she makes
yy hen off the stage, as well as when on.
is simply contemptible.
Denis Karney, tho agitator, has re-
turned to his dra.\, in San Francisco. He
says that he is out of pocket through pol-
itics, and is glad to go to y\ oik again in
his old line.
Christmas day was hardly as lively
iu town as we looked for it to be, though
Thomas and Jeremiah induced some
little lively work during the day. But
the country people mostlv staid at home,
and the town people remained by their
family altars. There were morning ser-
vices at the Episcopal and Catholic
Churches, which were handaomeh decor-
ated with evergreens, and these were well
attended.
For our own share, we occupied ourself
with office duties till 12 m., and then
having onr face shaven, and feeling all
right, we responded to au invitation to
dine with long tried friends, the kind
one likes to be with ou time hallowed
festive occasions. We sat down to a su-
perb home dinner, with a little circle of
pleasant associates. The host proper ac-
corded the seat of honor at the head of
the table to the venerable scholar who
had taught his wife in childhood, and
who is an appreoiator of the science of
gastronomy, aud loves to carve scientifi-
cally the fat turkey, and slice delicately
the spiced round of beef. The host in
genial humor sat at his right. On the
right of the hostess was the weightiest of
the northern Texas bar, and next to him
our smiling sherift, who was flanked by-
one of the medical fraternity bearing up
on his countenance a hungry look, the
opposite ot the legal gentleman. On'onr
own side of the table, between ourself
and the host, sat a young gentleman and
lady not long married. All were agreea-
ble to each other, and the host and host-
ess were most agreeable.
Of course soup came first, very rich.
Next the conventional fat turkey, with
dressing of fresh oysters: after that every-
thing, including the traditional spiced
beef and plum pudding of old England,
and the miuce pie of New England, the
Italian maccaroni with Parmesan cheese,
varieties of vegetables, fruits, nnts, etc.
All this was uot strictly in Delmonico
style, but it was in the old style, which
one from the north, or from the old coun-
tries,remembers from childhood. The oc-
casion brought together friends who had
known each other^for thirty years or more,
and so it was satisfying to our human
nature; besides each one did ample houor
to the preparations, and wasted little
time ia talk, our host being the principal
raconteur.
Now how did all our friends in the
country do? We presume that they all
had roast turkeys, aud roast pig, and
pies and cakes aud home fruits, and en-
joyed the day, and perhaps had some
dauces, at night—we hope so. There is
a good deal of brightness in life yet if one
only manages to let the light in at the
windows, in localities which have not ed-
ucated themselves into selfish formalities
in their social intercourse, or on the other
extreme neglected all effort for social en
joj ment.
The I^orfcilication Sill.
In our last issue we published a brief
report of the debate upon the bill to ap-
propriate money lor fortifying important
points upon the coast, and were some-
what surprised at the opposition to ap-
propriating any considerable amount. No
man knows how soon the day may come,
when we may be obliged to assert the dig-
nity ot the country by force, or suffer hn
ihiliation, and in the present state of our
coast defences, if our Flag were insulted,
or the rights of our citizens abroad disre-
garded, we could not afford to assert our
dignity as a great Nation, because the
navies of either England, France, Russia,
Germany, Italy or Spain, could bring
overwhelming loss aud degradation iipon
us within a month, and yet the combiued
torces of ali ot them could do uothing
with us, except upon the coast line of our
territory. But what comfort should that
afford, after they had destroyed New
York, Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Charleston, Savannah aud New Orleans
and captured and manned all the Forts
in the vicinity of all these cities. A mo-
ments consideration of such an undenia-
ble fact as this, renders the consideration
of a few hundred thousand dollars con-
temptible. We tad better appropriate
§.3000,000 if they were w .nted, than to
have New York and Brooklyn and the har-
bor defences capt.iifod and held for a
month. We appreciate economy in pub-
lic expenditure by the avoidance of nnes
•sential expenditure; but wo sustain no
man, Democrat or Republican yvho hag-
gles about appropriating money to essen-
tial public defences, which may be need-
ed at any time. 'v. <* ; ie more than will-
ing to see tlci • reduced to 15000
rank and li'e. Wo have no use for a
large forco, and ov -ry soldier costs the
government far more than the value of
his services. The reliance of the founders
of the government for tl ;i protection of
its integrity, was upon the patriotic mili-
tia ot the county, the volunteers, and
these are equal <-very emergency' so
long as we ke-.ii up West Point as a
school for ortte.ers to 'rain raw volunteers
when tiie emergency presents
it sell. \\ o need no large Navy
—we virtually have none; but
yve do need or may at any time need
some four or five powerfu-' iron dads equal
to any iu the British. SV.vy, and the cost
is a mutter worthy of no thought in con
parison with their usefulness. Suppose
that Spain, instead of repressing the out
rages committed upon our seamen, by
her vessels ot War a few months since,
liatl refused to settle the damage, or disa-
vow the wrong, what would have been
the necessity of onr position as a Nation
of great pretension?, bound to protect our
citizens whfthcr iijion the high seas, or
in foreign commits! We would have
been compelled to declare war, and seize
property in compensation. Our first open
course tor redress would be, to overrun
Cuba, which rve could do in b.iief time if
«e had some powerful ships to protect
our transports, not otherwise. The move-
ment (if Spam, mi the other hand, be-
sides attempting to prevent the capture
of L u ba, \\ ou Id be to assail our seaboard
cities the defenceless condition ot which
is as well known to other governments as
to ourselv s; Our inability to protect these
is to clearly shown by General Gil mote's
letter upon the subject of coast defences,
that no sensible man can doubt. Then
why are we dilly dallying with a manifest
danger, and talking about economy when
we are so well able to act? There ib no
excuse lor it, and no man has any claims
to far seeing statesmanship, who so trifles
with the most important interests ot the
country. Economy of expenditure weigh-
ed in the scale against such a danger is a
miserly puerility. We should be prepar-
ed lor war, at any day. So far as army
preparations and facilities are concerned
we are—if we had only to meet armies in
the opsn field, but our most vulnerable
points are our seaboard cities, in which
are aggregated the accumulated wealth
of the country, and which now, are en-
tirely at the mercy of any first or second
rate power which mav choose to assail
us. The proposition voted down, was to
increase the appropriation proposed from
$100,000 to $500,000. It should be annu-
ally not less than one million, nntil our
seacoast works are proof against all as-
sault. In fact we believe that $2000,000
should be appropriated for the current
year, for the harbor of New York alone.
An Old Time Friend.
As a rnle we make no note of subscrib-
ers calling and paying their dues; this
being a matter of course in the business
of a public journal, bnt occasionally some
friend of the olden time doing this,
brings up pleasant recollections. A few
days since Col- M. Akin, Esq., of Bowie
connty, transmitted bis subscription, aud
we bethought ourself that for many a
day, we had seen his name, and we turn-
ed to onr books, and found that he had
been with us since 1860, Col. Akin i< one
of the old set, of the early days of Bowie,
to whom our memories stray pleasantly-
at frequent intervals. Before our with-
drawal from journalism in 1867, we had
on onr books, subscribers who had been
with us unchangingly from September
10th 1842. One ot these was the late
Capt. Travis G- Wright of this county;
and npon om old subscription book are
hundreds, who staid with uj, till death
severed the connection; or the war scat-
tered them so as to interrupt communica-
tion. Wm. M. Harrison, Esq., ot Jeffer-
son, we think has been an unfaltering
subscriber since September '42.
We are &lad to note that leading citi-
zens of San Antonio are taking steps to
present Gen. Ord with a residence in that
city, as a token of esteem and regard for
his services in behalf of the frontier. In
this State, and especially the western
portion ot it, Gen. Ord is an especial fa-
vorite, having endeared himself to us by
his soldierly bearing, uniform courtesy
and interest in border matters. Bis re-
tirement is much regretted, especially as
there was no cause for it, unless he him-
self solicited such action. The tribute
proposed by the citizens of San Antonio
is one which doubtless many other peo-
ple of Texas would take pleasure in as-
sisting.—Ex.
Gen. Ord is a gallant soldier, and a no
ble gentleman, and merits all he is likely
to receive. His retirement by the Presi-
dent was whollg unnecessary, and under
the circumstances contemptible. No man
in the army could have been more effi-
cient in his position than he has been,
and from the people oi Texas, if not from
President Hayes, he can get the highest
testimonials of honor. We are very
mnch pleased to see that Gen. Sherman
concurs fully in the impropriety of his
retirement, aud certifies in the fullest
manner to his gallantry and efficiency.
heretofore, that no man who had money
and friends could be convicted ot crime
in Texas. Very "hnwillingly" we concede
the point, that they cauhot be* in some
parts'of it: It is presumable that those
who come down from the' north for the j
pursuance or these little tragic'diversions, j
will always select" tlie regions ot'country j
which have proven their fitness for the j
safe pursuance of that rather" serious
amusement, upon the same principle that,
the English nobility act upon, in seeking
for; hunting grounds in "the far west,
where success is ce'i tiiiu and there it? no
trespass upon private rights." We do not
know that there'is anything further need-
ed te perfect the moral of this last trans-
action, than this, that'Rothschild being
an Ohio mau, should receive hn appoint-
ment from Haves, who coihmenced his
career by rewarding gre'at numbers of
those who had made theif moral obliqui*
ties patent, and this maii being a North-
ern man and having sufferred persecution
at the south is entitled to his sympathies.
This sort ot consideration by the Presi-
dent would make the drama "perfect, and
it could be handled by any £oo u blood
and thunder dramatizer, and' have an im-
mense run at all fhe second class theah'es.
We regret the necessity' -ot expressing
our serious conviction that for all pjrpo.
ses of justice, involving murder or rape,
and we believe that Lynch law is so far su.
perior to the antiquated humbug called
Justice by the administration of Statuto-
ry Law, that there can "be no just compar-
ison iu the mind of any man who loves
to see the right prevail. There is not on-
ly no certainty that a murder will be pun-
ishe d by the organized courts of the west
and south and north west, but. there is a
bare probability, unless the offender is
some po*)r devil without 'friends; who
havitig no money cannot avail himself of
the law's defects by employing eminent
counsel,. and secure delay, which can be
readily done by a criminal taking the oath
prescribed as necessary, and- then baffle
with careless or interior prosecutors; and
the result is release—$nd- the blood of
the victim cries from'tlie ground unaven-
ged. This is not the law of 'the Bible tier
is it the Siatate law, lint: it is the prac-
tice of the courts. Why is it, that mur-
derers are always convicted in aristocrat-
ic England: just as readily a peer as a peas-
ant, but rich men seldom convicted in Re
publicau America, where all men's rights
are supposed to be equal? a, violent sup-
position! Money is far more potent here
than there,in defeating the ends ef justice:
in fact it eradicates -every semblance of
justice where life is involved.

The S upreme Court Vacancies.
We see that the Senators from Texas are
endeavoring to induee Mr. Hayes to consider
the name of Judge Balliuger. of Galveston,
for one of the impeding vacancies. Snnh an
appointment would not be merely gratifying
to Texas, but ftdva-itagerms to tlie court. It
wonld be the appointment of a first-rate man
not of a second-rite man to a first class posi-
tion. There wounld be fitness in every way
—in moral character, strict conscientious-
ness, dignity of demeanor, legal knowledge
and mental calibre suited to the position—a
man who has never belonged to anybody, or
been under special retainers to great railroad
proprietors. The country wants no more of
that material in the Supreme court, Mr.
Hayes may probably apprehend that an ap-
pointment recommended by the Texas sena-
tors would necessarily involve the approval
of one of these pestiferons democrats yvho
have given ] 03,000 majoiity to Hancock.
Probably Judge Ballinger voted far Hancock
for he is a gentleman likely to appreciate
high merit, but he did not do it especially
on any democratic upheaval of his moral na-
ture. Judge Ballinger is an old line Henry
Clay whig, dyed in the wool, his democracy
only clings to hiiu like the hussar's flying skirt
to the shoulders. He is a conscientious gen-
tleman of the old school, learned in the law,
always courteous and affable. He served his
country in the valley of Mexico, when Scott
ranged np to the halls of the Montezu
mas. He is in every inch h
patriot, aud we say it who know it, he
would do honor to the bench of the supreme
court of the United States, which in the past
few years has been sadly losing caste, because
it has been held as a reward tor partisanship.
No man in Texas v ill gainsay what we say
for Judge Ballinger, nor iulced any man from
any other locality, who knows him.

Senator "Wallace on the Democratic I 'ar-
ty.
Mr. Wallace's paper , in the Forth
American Review, entitled "The Mission
of the Democratic Party, .is brief; but
every sentence contains an important
lesson. El is description'*of the growth
and power of Federal patronage, in con-
nection with "corporalhips,, .monopolism,
and wealthy men," is, worthy of Frank-
lin himself,-aiid ia -especially startling as
the observation of one- of.the.; most saga-
cious and most conservative of.l">emerrat-
ic politicians. Mr. Wallace depicts the
tremendous progress of centralization,
aided by patronage and' 'money, in the
hands ot officeholders,. and protected l>u
siness interests, constituting a favored
class; and he insists npon an immediate
return to the "ancient theories1,'' and the.
intelligent rule of the masses." It sounds
a little strange to hear : a Pennsylvania
Senator demanding a revision of the tar-
iff for the benefit of. the .public.; and yet
that is precisely what "Mr. Wallace means,
when he declares for a' "thorough inqui-
ry into taxation for revenue and its-read-
justment upon a basis just to every in
terest and to aii the people."
Senator Wallace does not believe the
Democratic party can •Me- while if, stands
for the rights of the people, as if is bound
to do l«jV f he very law of its existence.
'The hour for its triumph," he'concludes,
"will have come, whan - it boldly asserts
its tme theories and ignores the blandish-
ments of money, monopoly, and corrupt
power, fle whose interests, judgment,
or teachings are adverse to fhe rale ot
the masses, will join its. enemies ; bnt in
his room it wili recruit, scores of' those in
whose interest it strikes, or who respect
its attitude and detest strong govern-
ment. The future of the Democratic
party is the future ot the republic."—New
York Sun.
It will be seen from the above that
here is another trusted Democrat who be-
lieves that the party needs to slough off
the tariffites and baiikites, and to go
solely lor its original .erad, the rights of
the people.
