A new line of steamers has been formed by
influential citizens of Montreal, whereby a
steamer will shortly be run once a week be-
tween Montreal and London.
One result of the advance in iron has been
the failure of a number of contractors who
agreed last summer to do work at figures based
on the prices for iron then ruling.
A remarkable advance in Calcutta freights
has been established. They are now quoted at
$12 against $3 75 a few weeks since. In conse-
quence of this, there is a strong upward move-
ment in all Calcutta merchandise.
It is stated that the Pacific mills of Law-
rence, Mass.. have bought 2.000.000 pounds of
wool in England during the past sixty days,
which is now worth five cents a pound more
toao they paid for it. showing a profit of $100,-
000 on the transaction.
The experiment of bonds designed to circu-
late as money has been undertaken by the
state of Georgia. These bonds, known locally
as " baby bonds.'' actually circulate as money;
for complaints are made that seme holders
before passing them, clip off the coupons due
next January.
Some banks are commencing the use of
registered letters for the transmission of cur-
rency, In the west, where this method is free-
ly employed, such shipments can be insured at
the rale of $2 50 per SI000, where not more
than $10,000 is sent on any one day. The sav
ing arises from the fact that express rates to
many of the points where the currency is
shipped are as high as 50 per $1000.

The indications that Germany is at length
obtaining a share of the increased business in
iron and steel appear to be increasing, fm
port ant orders for founderv iron for South
America have lately been received at the
Suarbruck iron works. The Dortmund Union
have also engaged additional workmen, and
started rolling machinery which has not been
in use for five years.
In regard to inland quarantine restrictions,
it seems that a judicial opinion of justice
Miller, of the supreme court, has been unearth-
e*"l, in which he held that any exercise of the
poli<w regulation beyond the exclusion of per
sons or cattle actually infected with contagious
diseases was a violation of the constitutional
provision giving congress the exclusive right
t'j regulate commerce between the states.
The viceroy of India has recently imported
a Virginia tobacco planter to experiment on
the cultivation of the weed in ti»e valley of the
Ganges. It is reported that he has produced a
leaf which he regards as superior to that of
his own state, and that the yield is so large as
to render the cultivation highly prof?table.
The Frglish papers are rejoicing over the re-
sult. and claim that a great tobacco industry
will soon be built up in India.

The New "York Commercial Bulletin learns
on good authority that some of the trunk rail-
roads have given orders for 7000 new freight
cars, to be completed from the 15th of Novem-
ber at the rate of twelve cars a day. These
! contracts will require 14,000,000 pounds of pig
| iron for wheels alone, and nearly 5,000.000
j pounds for axles. For th© other iron work, it
1 is estimated about 5.000.000 pounds will be re-
1 quired. Thus, in the aggregate, fully 10.000
| tons of pig iron will be required for completion
| of the contracts.
| At the adjourned annual meeting of the
j N.-vada bank, held in San Francisco on the
15th instant, it was decided to reduce the capi-
tal of that institution from $10,000,000 to
$3,000,000. This act has been in contempla-
tion for several months. The reason assigned
is excessive taxation. The reduction will save
the stockholders $100,000 per annum under the
present system of assessment, and a still larger
sum under the system expected to prevail when
the new state constitution goes into full force.
The reserve fund is the same as before—$3,000,-
000. ^

Tilden and Sherman.
The New York correspondent of the
Hartford Times says: Secretary Sherman
has given a western newspaper reporter a
version of his encounter with Mr. Tilden, ax
a meeting of directors of the Fort Wayne rail-
road, in this city. The tone of Sherman's
statement shows his wish to have people be-
lieve that Tilden has no feeling against him
on account of the electoral fraud. He shook
hands with everybody, he says, and when
he offered his hand to Tilden it was not re-
fused. This is true. Tilden did not refuse
to take Sherman's hand when it was thrust
upon him, because be did not want to make
a scene, or be discourteous at a meeting
where harmony was especially desirable.
But if the skin of Mr. Sherman's hand is not
as thick as the covering of his political con-
science, he must remember that the touch
it received was a decidedly cold one. Mr.
Tilden's recognition of him was barely
formal. He showed at once by his
manner that he would have nothing
to say to Sherman beyond what might
be absolutely necessary in transacting
the business of the meeting. He regards
Sherman as the ehief author of the enor-
mous fraud whereby he was cheated out of
the presidency, and he would not have Sher-
man or any "other of the conspirators sup-
pose for a iiioruOTrt that he has either for-
gotten or forgiven the crime which they
perpetrated. There was an evident desire
on the p;irt of the other gentlemen at the
meeting to have Tilden and Sherman ignore
the past, and Sherman himself seemed al-
most eager to do this, or at least seemed to
do it, but he soon found that Tilden would
not respond to his advances, aud he then
drew back. At first he affected a free aad
familiar manner, but, on discovering a
strong probability of being snubbed if he
carried it very far. he changed his tactics, and
dropped to formality. He has since spoken
of the meeting as though he had been al-
most friendlyr whereas, on Mr. Tilden's
part, at all events, it was as frigid as a ship's
mess at the north pole. The sage of Gra
mercy park has the heartiest contempt for
every man who had hand or part in the
gigantic fraud, and would not appear in the
same room with any member of the gang,
if he could properly" avoid it.
A contributor to the New York Mercury,
inspired by one of our prairie flowers, thus
warbles over her name:
HAST.
A child was asleep when an angel came down
And rapturously gazed upon her,
And he said, fanning open her bright little
orbs,
" She hjvs the blue eyes of Madonna!"
He traced with his finger the sign o£ the Cross
On the breast of the sweet little fairy.
Ana wrote on her baby-white, delicate brow ~
The beautiful name of Mary!
The child to a woman grew up with the flowers
That glorify tropical beauty,
A lone star that shines in the heaven of love,
And true to the dictates of duty:
And sometimes the angel eomeadown to her
bed
And rapturously gazes upon her,
And says, " May you ever be, gentlest of
souls,
Worthy the name of Madonna!" Larevo.

The cental system made a poor run in this
country. An informal meeting of the grain
trade was held at the New York produce ex-
change on the 1st inst., at which a resolution
was offered requesting the board of managers
to rescind tbeir action making the cental sys-
tem operative on January 1, 1880, so far as it
may apply to the grain trade, on the ground
that it seriously interferes with and threatens
to destroy business in options. A member of
the exchange stated that the trade had given
the system a patient trial, and had found it
entirely impracticable. Dealers bad not the
time to waste in making the necessary calcula-
tions, and the people outside of the city could
not be got to understand the system. They
would have to be educated up to it, and con-
gressional action would be needed to make it
work. The resolution was carried unanimous-
ly* ,
A circular was i^ped by the secretary of the
treasury on the 1st instant, giving notice that
proposals will be received at the office of the
assistant treasurer of the United States at
New York until noon of Saturday, the IStfa
inst., for the sale to the government of $10,-
000,000 of any of the 6 per cent, interest-bear-
ing bonds of the United States, at which time
the bids will be opened and awards declared,
the bonds purchased to be applied to the sink-
ing fund as provided in section 3694 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States. Proposals
will state the specific character of the bonds
offered, whether registered or coupon, and
under what acts they were issued, and may be
for any amount not less than $5000. The
offers must be for the sale of the bonds and
accrued interest to and including the 8th in-
stant, and each proposal must inclose a certi-
fied check for 5 per cent, of th.6 amount of
bonds offered. The checks of unsuccessful
bidders will be returned as soon as the result is
ascertained, and those of others on the follow-
ing business day, when the bonds must be de-
livered and the payment in lawful money will
be made as soon as they can be duly examined.
The right is reserved to reject any and all bids
and waive any detects.

COMMERCIAL.
Nkws Officb, Saturday, Nov. 8,1879.
For the closing day of the week, business
was very fair indeed. In all departments of
trade a brisk movement was perceptible, the
week winding up with a fair feeling of satis-
faction prevalent in nearly all quarters.
The feature of the day was the position of
cotton. Liverpool advices reported spot steady
and uuchanged, with futures at the opening
there l-.T2d. up, and closing firm. At
New York spot opened and closed qniet
but firm, and advanced >gc. in price. Futures
at the opening in New York were irregular; at
the first callgirregular but steady, on the sec
ond firm, and at the close strong—with No-
vember, December and January deliveries up
18, 17 and 15 points respectively, and the range
of later months advanced from 17 to 20 points,
March being the favorite month and attaining
tha highest altitude. The effect upon the local
market here of this strong and advanc
ing position at these two centers was found
in quotations for all grades being advanced
3^c., with the market at the close bulletined
firm. Sales for the day reached 1344 bales; re-
ceipts 2056 bales. The situation of the staple
is flattering, while the pretensions and confi-
dence of h«Jders have bee® decidedly in-
creased wfthin the past six days.
In relation ta the position of cotton, etc., W.
C. Watts & Co.'s weekly report dated Liver-
pool. October 18, says:
The large business recently done at Man-
chester, as aliown by the unprecedented ex-
ports ot cotton goods and yarns last month, to
which we called special attention in our last
report, has this week Jed to a decided revival
of confidence This, too, is cl««.rly shown by
the fact, that a number of mi Us which have
been closed or working short tome for weeks
or months past are gradually resuming full
time. At Oldham the short time movement
still continues, but this is a matter of necos-
sitv. The stock of American here is so very
small, the assortment so poor, and spot prices
relatively so dear, that spinners have been itii-
peHed to buy as sparingly as they possibly
could ou the spot In order, however, to
cover their contracts for yarns, etc.—and that
thev are now under contract for some weeks,
and in cases months, ahead, there is no doubt—
they are believed to have been large buyers of
cotton now afloat from America, and of dis-
tant deliveries. in other words, they are now
.hungry for ootron. Bur-we have a*large im-
port now close at hand. It is thought t ie
import of American alone for tl^e next
fortnight may be as much as 190,000 to 150.000
ba!#»s. With such an imj>ort there s^m?
to tie litf e or no chance for any squeeze for
Octolier deliveries. We do not doubt that as
soon £L< we have a large import of American
oar exports wiii materially increase, and the
deliveries to the trade may, and probably will,
be very large; but all this may fake place and
yet the spot demand here be very limited: that
is. cotton will be foi'warded or received op. de-
livery contract. This being the case, it ap-
pear- improbable that spot quotations can 1m» j
maintained as At present. ?«d above November I
deliveries. It. remoins * o he seen whether spots j
will decline pr Novembers advance. They i
raus' come more closely togetner. The great j
drawba-.to the trade for the past two or |
three months has been the wide difference ba-
tween spot quotation? and current prices for
distant deliveries. For instance, on the 2d I
ultimo the spot quotations for middling up-
lands was "^d above December-January deliv-
eries. This, a«* we have often jicinted out, had
a marked influence in checking the export of
goods to distant markets. That enormous ex
ports of goo -a have, nevertheless, taken nlace
in the meantime seems clearly to prove that t he
world is about as hungry for cotton goods as
our spinners are for American cotton. Now.
however. The difference between spots and De-
cember-January deliveries amounts to only
d. and the chances arethey will soon approx
imate much zswe closely. In fact it is not im-
possible, nor even improbable, that in a few
months we m«v see distant deliver;ps com-
manding a premium as compared with spot
quotations. 1 his will in a great measure dt-
j iend on the developments of the % American
crop. * * * - The Manchester Guardian
of to-day. referring to the revival of trade in
this country, takes a very hopeful view of the
prospects. Tii^ wave of commercial depres-
sion, which voiced down prices every where, is
passing auv- * * * Strange as it may
■■p«m, the its*-mediate cause of the revival is
due to the deficient harvest in Europe. Amer-
ica and India have abundant food crops. * *
Western Europe, though poor in agricultural
productions, is ri'-h in manufactures, and in
the power to produce them rapidly. *
In these conditions lie the surest grounds fi»r a
larjie international commerce. * * * Hail
ways and steamships have been employed in
transport on a scale never before seen. etc.

In the general market no change has occur-
red since last report. All values are main-
tained, with the market reasonably firm. It is
just possible, however, that a check may short-
ly be placed upon the upward movement.
We enter upon the last of the autumn
months," says the New York Commercial Bul-
letin, " with fair activity in the merchandise
markets, not unattended, however, with symp-
toms of a halt in the speculative fever which
recently carried up the prices of many com-
mottrties to so high a point The situation here
in this respect, we may add, is but a reflex of
tJiat at aH the other commercial centers. The
fall trade, as a whole, has certainly been thus
far a great success.n The position of sugar,
coffee, and hardware at New York on the 4th
instant is thus stated by the Bulletin of that
date:
Sugar.—There is some little interest shown
by buyers for raw, but their bids as a rule do
not keep pace with views entertained by hold-
ers. The stocks have been so much redacod

latterly that- offerings of tbe better grades of
muscovado especially are very meager, and
there is a good deal of indifference shown by
f etters. The amounts m Cuba to come forward
are lighter than at this date last year, and an
encouraging feature also comes from the situa-
tion of tbe markets abroad. Fair refining is
advanced to 8^c., at which sales have taken
place. The business to-day was 2100 hhds.
muscovado at 8X®-? ^00 bbds. do. on private

is an improvement generally in prices.
Cokfjee.—For Brazils, invoice buyers are in
a number of instances halting, and the trade
on the whole is of a very meager character.
The distributing business does not increase.

and this, in connection with the pretty full
shipments from Rio latterly, tends to the
more cautious operations. .While there are
free sellers, yet there is an unwillingness to
recede, aud prices are in a good degree nomi-
nal. In mild grades the dealings are neces-
sarily of a resteicted character, from first
hands the offerings of suitable lots increasing
slowly, and trade is scant; nrices are very
regular; from second hands •there is more
doing.

done, tbe election holiday at hand tending
somewhat to check operations. Aside from
this influence, however, there are evidences of
an inclination to somewhat curtail movements
on tho part of many buyers. During the re-
markable season of animation this fall, vast
amounts of goods have gone into the hands of
jobbing ana retail dealers, and while a liberal
distribution to consumers has also taken place,
there was enough buying in anticipation of
future wants to still leave very fair aecumula
tions available without again resorting to the
stocks of manufacturers. This, in connection
with the increase of cost, tends to induce
greater caution, aud the demand has a some-
what modified form. There is, however, a suf-
ficient movement to retain a strong and cheer
ful tone, and tbe trade, as a rule, speak well of
the situation.
In wool and hides in this market to day
transactions were nominal. Receipts were
moderately liberal, however, and the opening
of another week is expected to develop tiie
usual activity. The market here continues to
be strengthened by advices from all quarters.
There was no change in tha situation of the
hide market at New York on the 1st inst., the
demand running steady and fair and prices
strong. Wool in that market is thus aihided to
by the Bulletin of the 4th inst.:
Manufacturers were checked in their move-
ments of late to some extent by the fail
ure of goods to fully respond to the improve-
ment on material, and roe consequent disad-
vantage under wferch present buyers wouW be
niaced in the effort to compete with those more
fortunate in securing supplies earlier m the
season. The condition of the goods trade,
however, is sufficiently encouraging to lead to
the very general expectation that the cost erf
the product nnxst gradually adjust itself to a
reasonable margin o»ver that of material, and
current plans are made upon this basis. Sup-
plies of domestic wools too are in good shape
for carrying, and this further fortifies the posi-
tion of tiie selling interest. The Texas and
Califoruian dips just now coming forward are
naturally more or le® scattered, but owners
in all cases seem to work m unison for tho
maintenance of prices: the fine fleeces, though
not scarce, are none too plenty and the best
lots well together, while of medium, Ho. 1,
pulled, etc., there is scarcely anything to be
found, and limits of value on some few
exceed materially positively established quota-
tions.
The market here for staples of western pro-
duction remains in unchanged condition. Quo-
tations are repeated. Flour at St. Louis at the
closing this evening was ^reported unchanged,
bacon dull, lard and dry salt meats higher,
with wheat, corn aad oats in somewhat ad-
vanced position.

DA .. November 8, 1879.
ADDRESS OF EX-COT. Mi.
TO THE SZf Rj;2ti: COVET OF TKXJS.
In Prewentins: the RF«olutloiiK oI the
Bar on the Occasion of the Death of j
Judge JI. B. Ector, at Tyler.
May it plense Your Honors: Commissioned |
by my brethren of the,Bar assr>< iat' ''i of this
city, it is my melancholv duty u> make formal
announcement of the dea*"h of the honorable
M. D. Ector, presiding judge of the court of
appeals of this state. I am also instructed t«)
present to your honors thes-2 resolutions, unani
mously ad>>pte<l by the bar, which 1 resj»e^(
fully move may be rra<l bv the clerk of this
court and spread upon your minutes, together
with such other action in tho premises as the
sad announcement mav suggest to tbe court.
[Resolutions read by tiie eierk.l Never—may
it please the court—-was there a rr^ore earnest,
faithful, truthful tribute, paia to departed worth
than is embodied in these riaBol i&ons, samm m
orative of the life and public services of the
eminent citizen, whose mortal remain' b
r%ht*»e*s, abi??rr and a conscieotioro devotfon
to duty, which, perhaps, cost him his
life. We do not claim for him
the erudition, toe scholarly learning, or the
sar>© ancumnlated wealth of l^al lore as may
have be#n> po<ir»s?ed by others of the great
jurists of tho oa«-t and the present. If living,
he wouki have frowned upon sicfa a claim.
But he was a just and an abie jntlge, and no
honest Pri^nnt. who ever know him would have
been unwilling t" have the law book set -aside
nnd his case tried br that unwritten code of
equity which w»« always enshrined alike in the
heart and illustrated in the life of the man
and the judge. Here in these enduring reports
of his decisions the best monument of his
judicial fame. The/ will outlive the gen-
eration in whi'h they were written.
hetber as a «*onnse!or in* the active practice,
frowning upon "^harp pra^'tice,^ or trickery
as degrading and dishonorable, and holding
that the profession of the Jaw should never
lei»d its great power ami splendid talents to
ttsrng an opin-o^aion (all of which he prac-
tice^l »n his own -areeri: or wbethea- as a coun-
cilor m ?ta»e. shaping public; policies, as a
soldier lesdmg an army, or as a jurist, with his
ermine ^epr pur nud spotless as tbe snows of
heaven: or wbe+her, la.~t though not least, as
an honest man and- a faithful
CV^tstiaw OKNTI.KMAN.
going about doing good, clothing the naked,
feeding the hungry and relieving the distress-
ed, and thanking God for all his naories. as he
did; whether in one o- all of tbe-^e relatkms he
ccatstitu+es as a whole, a character wfach be-
comes better and greater tbe more we study
its virtues, and the nearer we approach
its pr'.rations of symmetry and beauty.
Your honors will excuse me if I have dwelt
too long in paving this last tribute to oar la*
mente brother. The bench will miss hscouz*-
sel. and the profession an honored member.
He alone of all of us. has lost nothing by that
sudden death. In the better land, beyond tbe
shadow and the cloud, he is at rest, leaving a
name embalmed in tbe heart* of his country-
men.

enemy comes to claim us for his own, we can
go hence as he uid. v. ith unfaltering clu-is-tian
faith, and fearii:g no ev:i, to 44 walk through

of such a man Is a misfortune to the home, and
the family alwavs. and a ioss to tbe counrry
an<l mankind, w hi -h can only be repaired in
part by the practice and memory of his virtues
and the emulation of his just and unsullied
fame by his contemporaries ond the genera-
tions that succeed him. Only a brief resume
of the life and services of judge Kctor is ap-
propriate to the occasion, leaving to otb^r
hands, on a wider field, the labor of love to
write the full history of his useful
life. Judge M. D. Ector was bora in Put-
nam county. (Teorgia. in PSii; was educated
at Center coilege, Canville, Va, . read law un-
der ohic-f justice Hiram Warner, for over thirty
years presiding over the supreme court of
Georgia; admitted to tbe bar in 1S44, and in
18+5 elected to the legislature of that state, in
1*50 be removed to Tex:vs. and settled m Hen-
derson, Rusk county. Here he ccmKueuced the
practice of his profession, ami was also the
able editor of a democratic journal. In 1SS5
he was elected to the legislature, and was after-
ward an elector for president.. In IbCl. after
the great conflict had begun I between the
.tates. he joined a company from his own
county of Rusk, and was elected i".rst lieuten-
ant. His company wa> organized and formed
company B, of Greer's famous third Texas
cavalry* Afterward was made adjutant gene-
ral of Hogg's Texas brigade; then colonel of
the fourteenth Texas cavalry, serving with
the army of the Tennessee; was next promoted
for gallant conduct on many battle-fields to a
brigadier generalship, and in th- great str^g-
grles before Atlanta lost his left leg. and at
the time supposed to be a mortal wound.
Recovering from his wounds, he rejoined
tbe shattered remains of bis vete-
ran brigade, and served with t' "tu
to the end of the war, returning only when the
red cross ** was furled forever. Coming back
to his old home, be was elected judge of tbe
district court in 1 and was removed by the
federal general (Reynolds) *;asan imparl an -nt
to reconstruction.' He soon afterward re-
sumed the practice oi his profession in the
city ot" Marshal!, Harrison county; wars ap-
pointed judge of the sixth district by Gov.
Coke, and was afterward elected judg of the
court of appeals by the people of Texas, aud
by tho generous preferment of his brothers on
the bench was made their presiding officer. To
this high eminence had he reached; on this
altar, within the temple of ^justice, hail he
jtoced the best offerings of hts learning and
lis life; and here, worn out with devotion to
duty, 6e fell at his post, as did his great and
historic anctestry—the elder Chatham and the
yoongar Adams—in the council balls of
their country- His early life gave earn-
of what its close would be. Fn*ra
his very boyhood we have be£u to'd ty those
wt>o knew him then in his native state, that
his truthfulness and integrity of character was
the common remark of his fellows, and made
him at t&at early day a boy of note. He never
deceived, never dissembled, never bore false
witness against his fellows. That which he
never did himself, he never permitted others
to do, at his expense or at the expeuse of those
he k>ved, if a boy's plnck and courage could
punish or prevent it. It has alrea.ly been told
since his death, and I reproduce it hore, how
brightly in distant lands that star of honor
gawkxi bis life in his maturing manhood. Leav-
ing his paternal home during the early gold
discoveries in California, young Ector went
with the great crowds who rushed
to the "gold diggings" from all quar-
ters of the world, to seek his fortune.
He was unfortunate in the search—so tho sfcory
goes—his mother waiting and w atching for
weary months, and even years, t-y bear tidings
of her son—and hearing none, sent out with
her prayers (such as only mother* can offer for
the w anderers 1 an eider brother, to search tia
he found her lost sort! The brother went. His
search was long, and at last successful. Tbv
brothers started back—weary and wretched
and almost penniless. In a pass in tte moun-
tains of Panama young Ector found a miners'
blanket by the wavside, filled with thousands of
glitteVing gold. Wluil a treasure to a pem»Jfvs
traveler, homeward boai>l to embrace his
mother! No one claimed it in all thattfcromred
thorougfare. He made diftgent inquiries—pub-
lished it on the mountains and in tho vak-ys
and in the camps. He reached the sea acrciss
the ithmus, and heard by chance that a miner
had been robbed of all his gold secure
through vears of toil in the mountains, and
had sailed, heart broken, and with an empty
purse, on the ship's deck to his homo in New
England. He hunted the ship's mamf«*<st,
found the names of her consignees, made due
inquiries, discovered the rightful owner, and,
though penniless himself, sestored every <k»ttar
of the gold dust to the man who dug it from
the mines. Hooorl brighter tlsan the gems ot
tbe ocean, more vahied than the gok! dust of
Califerniat more than a qoar^er of a cen-
tury i haw known him well and intimobdy.

In thisssns spirit at devdbon to his people,

AS A SOLDIER
his fame is secure. He fboght from principle,
and not from passion or policy. Whether
right or wrong, posterity will do ju tice to aU
men, in that great etna anftortt nnto struggle,
whether wearing the blue or tho gray, «b©
believed they were light, and wsre willing to
duo for their cause. Such a soldier was
Ector. He bore a eo«spw*ooos part in the
struggle front Oak Hills to Chickamastga and
Atlanta, and added fresh laurels to the fame of
the Texas ®Thtfer. With Sidney and
Jacksan. and Lee, aad Cleburne, and 'Jran-
bury. and Qregg, and wtth ikxid—fee was the
tmrted o^cor—and with them aod Kke them,
he has passed in triumph to his final r»st. His
sokliCTS loved him and obeyed him. and would
have followed him as tfie Irish brigade did
Cardigan at Batekiava. In the hospitals, by
the wounded or dying comrade: on the w eary
march or lonely Ktvouac. or amid the shook of
battle, be was the same calm, cooi, fearless,
intrepid christian soidier, ready at any hour
to lay down his life for his country. When
tbe war closed and the hopes of tbe sooth were
buried in the graves 01 her dead, he came
home, maimed in body, but sound and whole
in all the attribrtes which make up the mental
and moral man. He counseled moderation,
set a high example of honorable submission to
fate, and prayed his countrymen might be as
patient and cheerful in defeat as they had been
glorious in battle. He wouki have them rebuild
our broken temples, and make glad again tbe
desolate places of the land, always counseling
genuine toyaltv to the union and the constitu-
tion of our fathers. He lived to see his coun-
sels adopted, and the prayers of the patriot
largely ascend. He lived to see the south, in
name at least—we hope in spirit—restored,
and the warring sections sitting aronnd tbe
same council fires, with never more a thought
or a dream of war or disunion. In this regard
Gen. Ector was the type of tbe true soldier of
both armies, to whom, if left alone by political
and bomb-proof camp-followers, fraternal re-
censtructien had been already an accomplished
fact. From kis retirement he was place on tbe
beach.
AStAJODGK,

so coolly tolerated by him are very unfavora-
ble to his preseut an.I future popularity, ffe
is probably aware that be can not hare thf
support of a large portion of the dem<v?ratic
party, therefore, if he were a man of sufficient*
openness and heartiness of character, we should
expec t he would declare himself in favor of
son.e other man than himself for the presi-
den ry. But w hatever Mr. Tilden may think
fit to do Or sav. or to leave unsaid and undone,
the democratic party will not, if wisely guided,
take it-* cue from Mr. Tilden, but from free
consultation among all its representative men.
We regard him now as an obstable to the suc-
cess of the pa»-ty.
T.edhot journalism will compel attention
after a while. Tbe Alexia Ledger a few
days since said:
If *lie editor of the Houston Telegram would
cnt to so m
excellent paper
c^ase to give vent to so much personal spleen,
his otherwise excellent paper would be far
more popular.
AN hereupon the Marshall Herald remarks:
The objections we have to the Telegram go
far beyond its personal spleen. It discusses no
subject calmly or wdth reawwi. It dislikes
Gov. Roberts, and is evidently desirous of
bringing his administration into eooternpt: but
n this it overreaches its purpose by its imfair-
ness. and its open assault upon the^defnocratic
party. It may desire to aid in the eoforvo-
nient of the laws, but in doing so ignores the
good •'-.er has been done, the virtuous temper
of the people, and the vigilance of our courts,
and w as relentless in its misrepresentations of
Texas as the Globe-Democrat or tho lnten-
Ocean. In a worn, it n-ist.-^kes flippancy for
genius, and ill-digested commentaries for tal-
ent.
The Houston Age does not contain as
much rending matter as some other papers*
but it has tin' advantage of giving nothing
prosy or wearisome. Its patrons may run.

words to state pKin facts or well matured
opinions. Tbe cynic who saaxl that worda

the truth in man3' case-*. They al9o conceal
tie want of ideas.
The Hempstead Courier defends senator
Coke from the charge of being in w cahoots *
with the o. a., as follows:
i^ome of our exchanges think there has been
a uniting of political interests between (for*
'b^rts and senator Coke, because the gov-
ernor appointed Geo. Clark, a particular friend
of Ur. Coke, to the judgeship on tbe bench at
the court of appeals. Rk-hard may be socno-
teiaes. like >/ai. Bags^ock, rough and tooph*
bnt he is too sharp to uni*e hi* poiitecai fori
tunes to those of bis excellency. Too sly and
knowing for any such ntmsease is the Texas
senator.
Well, tbe o. a " totes fair," any way.
He can not be thrown off worse than judgB
Ireland was.
The Bryan Pilot takes a serious view of
the political outlook, and ends an article
on tbe subject as follow^:
If the sectional strife -now being engendered
at the north should unfortunately qdmfaaata

powe<r as the embodiment of the views And
purposes of the consoRdatiomsts- It wouW bo

The Uvalde Hesperian remark?:

ttse Jroams of toe people of Teras^ Tbe timo

»an*shn;e«t for their transgressions of

that tho only way to avoid having trouble9
to do right.
The Brcnham Banner, in remarking cm
the refusal, in some local ejections, of the
democrats of Texas to foiJowt&eiT seff-ap-
pointed leaders, declares:
That, there is much dissatisfaction eefsOngin
the ranks of th»^ democratic party of Ifexas
can not be denied; the cause is
the remedy is in the party, not out ot M* A
different class of men must be etectod; tbe
party itself is responsible for its ocrora, aodv !
must rectify them. The wiro-warteML
sters and demagogues most be^aDpwed k> stay
at home aad their places be snjsp'
who will consult the wishes of 1
matters of legislation.
The Marshall Herald reviews the causes
of the late disasters to the democracy, tmt ia
not hopeless of the success oi Che gMgty in
tbe next presidential election, estyIng:
It may, and we believe it will he possible, to
take any true democrat prominently men-
tioned, npon whom the country can unite, and
trtnmpbantly elect him by a majority that will
render useless returning boards or electoral
commissions.
The Brenham Banner finds consolation in
this:
Mismanagement seems to be svdocjibous
with democracy. The defeat of ftutaneuv, it
is soupoyed, will shelve Tikleai. aad with the
result there will be bat little cocuptount in the
south and we&t. Witt! proper memageroent

A Undine to the late appointment <rf judge
of the court of appeals, the BeUon Coaner
remarks that it is a good one, so far as re-
lates to the man and his competency for the
office, bet add*:
We have always though* that courtesy de-
manded a faar distribution of executive favors
among tbe different narta of the state, as far
pracft able; end Waco has certainly had a
good deft* more than her proportion already.
The Rock-'fata Messenger thinks BTew
York has settled the ^juestion aod Mr. Til-
den w€0 not be a candidate for president.
Tbe same paper says:
The Galv*-* —» %'iws. arde«l Ivr Galveston
firms, has Ym- :'inng ck>«ely and apparently
socces^nfly to ^iemonstrate the superior ao>
cessibillty and cheapness of that poaot for tttb
disposal of Texas cotton over either Hew Ot»
leans or St Louis. Tb<' sympathies of cvegy
trne Texan should be with ottr own seaport in
a straggle for comriercial sopertority.
The Messenger also savs:
The action of Gov. Roberts tn pardoning
twenty odd youthful offenders confined in tte
pemteg&iary is very properly criticiaed by tbe
press. It is to lie boj>ed *hat the governor will
not repoot an act so unpopular.
The prompt action of the governor in fill-
ing the vacant seat on the bench of the
court of appeals. ca*r«d by the d&a£h of
judge Ector, :13d one good effect at least
The newspapers did not have time to quar-
rel over the claims of the hosts of caflfi-
dates wbo would have sougfei the ptaee.
Some of these, however, tell who would
have been the proper persons had Che go*-
ernor wanted for information 00 the Ab-
ject.
The TTrmnr»n 1»egTom has also found
out how patriots patronize the press, sad
say 3;
It is astonishing tbe number of axes them
are to grind ia Texas and the cute means taken
to have the papers turn the crank ** free gratis
for nothing.
It was hard on professional poliOciana
when tbe press soured on tbe practice o#
giving every one a hoist who asked it on
