A Twcnty-secoad Street Episode.
Yes ford ay afternoon, about 2 o'clock, as one
of tbo street cars was leaving toe corner of
Tvventy-Src ond and Market streets, it was
boarded by a laboring man, evidently the
worse for iiq.ior, who informed the driver,
when _ u. :-:ed for his fare, that he had placed
two nickels in the box on another car by mis-
take. and therefore did not propose to produce
ano( her car ticket. The driver at once stopi)ed
his car to put the fellow off, when he objected
in s o h a forcible manner as to cause the
driver to defer his intentions. Some minutes
were spent in angry expostulation on
both sides, and in the mean-
time the road became blocked with cars in the
rear of the one on which the two parties were.
Finally a passenger on the rear car, who was
evidently in a hurry to get home to dinner,
l ushed forward and deposited a car ticket in
the box for the angry man. The conversation
ended, the cars moved on. and qui'1*" .
vaiied on Twenty-second street.

The Signaling Schooner.
At ten o'clock yesterday morninpf, the rev-
enue steamer Captain Sheperd steamed to
the quarantine station to look ui'ter L-he schoon-
er Alfred, from Now York, that had been re- j thi
ported as signaling for a physician since last ate
Tuesday. When the revenue steamer r ached :
the quarantine station, it was learned that Dr. j a is
Brown had been ab ard of the Allied. Ine
pilot-boat left with the doctor early in the
morning, sailing for the Alfred. When on tho
way, the pilot boat n:-t the captain of the AI-
fred,on his cour: e to ti e station to see Dr. Brown.
Dr. Brown ordered the boat with the captain
and crew to return to their vessel, which order
was promptly obeyed. When on board, the
captain of tho" Alfred stated to Dr.
Brown that ho sigpaled so persistently
because he wished to communicate with the
shore. After an examination of the Alfred
and her sanitary condition, the captain,
Keazer, came to the wharf. Yesterday after-
noon he was in company with Capi. Riley, of
the Dow, and Capt. Barker, of the Waldemar,
and stated that he signaled the shore because
he was running short of water, and feared
being driven away from his moorings. Capt.
Keazer has his wife and child on hoard of his
vessel, and a crew of six or seven men.

The Fact® la the Case.
It was statfjd yesterday that the little son of
Daniel Waiter, who was run over by a dray
on the corner of Market and Twenty-seventh
streets, ni* *ht bef( >re last, and who was report-
ed as slirjntiy injured, was suffering from a
severe fr acture of the skull a id jawbone. He
is atteno'red by Dr. West.
Co mmiiist oned.
Mr. Ed. J. Byrne has been commissioned to
collect the statistics of all the manufacturing
and industrial interests of the city. It is hoped
that our merchants and mai.ufacturers will
assist him in thif »-. ork, and render all neces-
sary information for a complete and correct
return of the manufacturing wealth of Gal-
veston.
The ITS. B, A. Ficitic.
The M. B. A. picnic, which was to have
taken place two weeks ago at the Gymnastic
Social institute grounds, but which was post-
poned at that hime on account of the weather,
will taiie place to-u^hi at -the same place.
This association's entort ainments have always
been of the pleasautest. character, and the
picnic on this occasion is not expected to fall
behind other affairs of cho kind.
A Timely Take In.
A German from the. interior, with more
money than discretion, who was promenading
about the streets, and - >atroni/.ing saloons last
night in company with, a notorious courtesan,
was taken in charge by the police by order of
Capt. Atkins; and, after taking possession of
thedunds in his pocltet, he was sent to his
b«arding-honse to sieep off tho effects of his
* caption:-. He will t'«*l thankful to the guar-
dians of the city for their timely attentions.
Lone Star Itilles.
A meeting of th© Lone Star Rifles will be
held to-night at the old arraory, at the corner
of Avenue A and Tiemoi.t street, at which
time the committee on uniforms and ways and
means will make their report. The company
now numbers fifty-live members, and expect
at an early day to give a hu;;e picnic for the
purpose of raising the funds ne eessary to carry
• at tho organisation, on which occasion it is
expected some of the fiuest uriUbors in the state
will be present.
Shipping Material.
The G., H. and II. railway is now shipping
large quantities of brid-a material to the L
anil G. N. railroad from the wnarf; also car-
loads of iron rails for the Texas and St. Louis
railroad, from the nev-r English steamship
Rothesay, now lying ra tho oiling and dis-
charging. V%~. M. Evanfj,. manager of ail the
wharf work of the G., H. and H. railway,
controls about sixty men along the line of tho
wharf, and is kept busy iv the work of re-
ceiving and forwarding .material that is
destined to assist in the of the inter-
ests of the state.
The Reason Why.
If the report in yesterday's. News regarding
the signals for a physicisji shown b}r the
American bark Alfred is true, the reason why
she has not been visited by the quarantine
doctor may be plainly stare ,d. He has no boat
that is fit to go over the b.- *r in. The board of
health has repeatedly pet itioned the common
council, the governor and tue U:iited States
government for such a craft, out t.'ius fartiieir
efforts have met with :x> success. With the
surf running high on the bar, it ist unsafe for
Government Works.
Col. S. fi\ Mansfield, major of engineers in
the United States army, and directing the gov-
ernment works at this point, during a brief
interview yesterday stated to a reporter of the
News that it was the intention ot the govern-
ment to abandon the establishment at Bolivar
point and bring ail employes to Galveston,
whence their labors would be directed. This
movement will take place later on, perhaps
about the fail season. It will place in the city
a large number of men, who will make Gal-
veston their home while the labor lasts. Work
is to be done ou the south side hereafter, from
Fort point out, and it will be pushed along
with vi^or. Yesterday the force at work was
engaged in fitting up beacons for alignment,
and everything is considered favorable. Col.
Mansfield says that the government has
abandoned the old gabion system
and adopted the Dutch system,
liismen have put down one hundred "feet of
mattress foundation, which is sixty feet wide
and two feet thick, on the north side, two
miles out from shore. It was done as an ex-
periment, and has proved a very satisfactory
test, being simple and reliable, the men work-
ing with as much accuracy and ease as if
laboring on the shore. The change of the
government establishment from iioiivar will
be of cor.sideraL ie worth to the business inter-
ests of Galveston; and the cuange in tho sys-
tem of work will no doubt be the means of
causing a speedy and reliable progress in a
work that has engaged the attention of a
solicitous public for a space oi three years. No
one who talks to Col. Mansfield can doubt his
sincerity in the work that is under his skiilful
control.
The Wharf" Front.
The three-masted schooner Robert R.uf? caifljfe
up from quarantine station yesterday »*ad is
anchored in the stream. Whe is loaded with
railroad ties and lumber.
The schooner Adolph Flake came in from
quarantine yesterday evening and is tied in
Williams slip. She has a cargo of cedar logs
and honey, and is from the Mexican coast.
The schooner Stoney Brook, loaded with ce-
dar logs and honey, from Mexico, arrived: yes-
terday afternoon and is lying at Williams slip.
The also has on board a few Mexican game
chickens and Poll parrots.
Capt. Lubbin's schooner Annie Hansen left
oast levee last evening for Lake Charles.
The schooner Livonia Perkins, Capt. Roll-
fing, left yesterday evening for Lake Charles.
The schooner Pat Christian, from Orange,
arrived yesterday afternoon, and is lying at
west levee.
The United States steam lighthouse tender
C-edney is still at Williams wharf. She has
been thoroughly repaired.
John Crotty rowed by Brick wharf last
evening in his favorite shell, and from the
way he sped his boat one would have almost
supposed that he had learned tho secietof
Mumtoi d's pose and formidable stroke.
Capt. By ley, of the schooner Laiiott Li. Dow,
now at Brick wharf, is the proprietor of a cub
bear. lie bought it from a coaster. When
that Texas bear develops into a full grown
bruin the captain will be ;:::xious to part with
him at an exceedingly low ilgure.
The schooner Fury, Capt. Morris, arrived at
the east end of Brick wharf yesterday evening,
with lumber. iShe ieit for Cedar bayou last
night.
The schooner Colombo, from Calcasieu, with
lumber and shingles, arrived at east levee yes-
terday morning, and sailed for Goose creeK to
discharge her cargo.
No vessels arrived on tho outside yesterday.
As usual elevator slip had her docks lined
with small vessels from various places, selling
the inevitable watermelon. It appears to be
a popular evening market, whence many peo-
ple get their fruit and vegetables.
Political Summers,
Since the announcement that the county
political campaign had fully opened, the elec-
tion bummers have emerged from their beery
retreats and gone tu work. Thcv are in search
of candidates, and exact leans, gifts < •: various
kinds, and contributions of money. All these
fellows—both white and blaci:—are men of in-
flueuco, and wish to do service under some
one's banner f ir the good of the people; but to
t that patriotic service, which is intended to
reduce the taxas of the people, it is necessary
for tho unsophisticated auu anxious candidate
to baud over a few ducats that are to be judi-
ciously distributed in marked places—places
where that particular candidate is not appre-
ciated according to his noble worth. After the
bummer has gone the rounds of all the candi-
dates announced, he generally has sufficient
money in his pcckets to buy a suit oi clothes
and keep him in whisky and beer for a time
corresponding with his usual frugality when
sober, and his desires to spend
his gains when drunk. Some of
these industrious fellows have been
known to buy small cottages after an election,
w hen the defeated candidates have been com-
pelled to mortgage theirs, or sell out and drag
disconsolate children and wives into either
suburban or rural exile. A lew days ago one
of these vampires went to a prominent candi -
date and coolly asked for sufficient money with
which to pure has:.1 a modest homestead on the
t;ult' shore" He said his influence was w: rth a
house and lot, and he asked for all tuat lie was
worth. Another one requested a check for
one hundred dollars; and others followed, ask-
ing sums ranging from one to litty, making in
the aggrega: e—including the homestead on the
gulf shore—about two thousand dollars; and
ail this has occurred within the past week, even
before candidates have regularly announced
themselves. The strategem of these hail-boozy
fellows, the brassy complexion of their cheeks,
and their leech-like tenacity, are enough to ap-
pall the heart of the boldest candiuate that
sticks his card in a rack. That a candidate
is compe hd to spend money, no sane
man will deny; but that he should buy home-
steads on the beach for ins numerous support-
ers, is an advanced step in electioneering prac-
tices that he will have to be kicked into by
disinterested friends belo.re ho ean recognize
its general utility. The energy and cheek of
eiecnon bummers, directed toward mercantile
or industrial pursuits, would make millionaires
of them in about two short weeks. There is h,
limit to all things, but waen a fellow asks a
homestead onf a gull-shore for his vote and
support, it would appear to the average Gai-
vestoniau philosopher that a homicide wouid
be justitiabie then ar.u tnere. One hundred dol-
lars—or even two hundred—would not entire-
ly unnerve a candidate, but asking for a
homestead by the guif, where the breezes are
supposed to fan the cheeks ot modest people,
would startle even the Jim Carrie jury into a
desire to do a work of vengeance.

A little Galveston boy who has a rather se-

'• I wish they had nominated papa for presi-

"You think your papa is a big man, don't
you, sonny?" replied the mother, proudly.
44Oh, no; I only want to get him out of the

The passenger, who was a stranger, put in

The first intimation the Spaniards in Mexico
had of the presence of La Salle was through
the Indians. When Capt. Alonzo de Leon.who
was i" command of the recently established
post of Monclova, in Mexico, heard of there
being strange white men in Texas, he *ent for
a Comanche Indian, who was accused of hav-
ing started the rumor, aud had him brought
into liis presence.
4 What sort of white men are those you say
you saw down in Lavaca county, Texasf'
asked Don Leon.
441 t'uiuk they must be Spaniards,'1 responded
the bronzed chieftain.
4t Why did you think so?"'
44 Because they belong to the same church
you do, and when they have been kindly-
treated oy the natives they proceed to murder
and rob them. They quarrol among them-
selves and are always anxious to locate land
certificates."
4 Did you have any talk with them?" asked
De Leon.
4 No," responded the Indian, 441 had neg-
lected to renew my life insurance policy, and
could not afford to take any risks. Des-de-a
they could not talk English, and I did not

This interview has never been published be-

veteran was very much undei* the influence of

It has of ten been remarked that the old Texan
can not bear to have neighbors. As soon as Lue
country ^settles up about him he becomes un-
easy. He feels himself crowded. He dread*
the approach of the locomotive, the burglar,
the comidence man, aud all the other blessings
that follow m the westward march of civiliza-
tion. As soon as people begin to
put up log houses within live miles of
his cabin the old Texan becomes
miserable. He regards the intruders as being
ou his range and interfering with his business.
There are only two ways to remedy this evil.
Either he must move off stili further into the
wilderness, where he will not bo interfered
with, or else be must organize himself into an
anti-immigration society of one, and proceed
to discourage the intruder. The only effectual
mode to discourage au immigrant was to shoot
at him with a trusty riSe. A tew examples of
that kind would soon give the old settler ali
the elbow room he needed. The Spaniards and
French were old original settlers, and could
not bear to be crowded. Here was La Salle
on Matagorda bay and De Leon at
Monclova, in Mexico. They were neighbors.
There was not a white settler between them, a
distance of more than oOU miles. There w as
not another house in the whole neighborhood.
One would suppose that they could manage to
live in peace and quietness with each other;
that they were not in each other's way very
much. But such was not the case. Do Leon
would often look across the Rio Grande several
hundred miles into Texas, and complain thai
that infernal Frenchman was crowding him;
that ho d? i not ieel comfortable in having such
near neighbors. As he did not care to move

Kavasota, July T, 1880.—Your reporter was
prevented, on account or sickness, from send-
ing you a report by dispatch last night, as he
had hoped to do, of the military picnic. Yes-
terday was a gala day for Navasota. I don't
think' I would exaggerate were I to say that
not less than three thousand people partook of
the hospitalities of the good people of Xava
sota and Grimes.
The Hearne company was represen ei here,
but not very largely. The l>rvan company
came with full ranks, bringing with them the
lady honorary members, afe did also the com-
pany from Brenham. Without saying any-
thing in disparagement to tho handsoma gen-
tlemen composing those companies and the
martial spirit displayed, 1 eau nofe let tiiis op-
portunity pass without congratulating these
companies'iu the selection they have made of
their lady honorary members, who possessed
so much of beauty, grace, wit and loveliness.
I have never seen a regiment composed of »o
many handsome and line looking soldiers. The
Heampstead company, commanded by Capt.
A. T. riedeil, was a sight to be enjoyed by any
one loving soldierly carriage and handsome
uniforms.
The programme was somewhat disarranged
by tne delay of tne special train having on
board Irov. Roberts and the 15renham and
Hempstead companies; but it made but littie
difference, for uie 2savasota Guard is always
equal to any emergency; for, hen the train
arrived, the Navasota Guard, Bryan Itides and
Jones Knies (Hearne) were formed in line to
receive tht.m, as, also, the committee on recep-
tion were ou hand to receive our distinguished
visitors. The companies then marched to the
armory with tho Kosse baud iu front, who fur-
nished deiigntiai nmvic to rhe ears of most
every one, except Mr. Small (let justice be
done ihem), and stacked arms.
Our distinguished guests, prominent among
whom were Gov. Roberts, lion. YV. \V*. Lang,
(jren. J. B. Jones, were conducted to
the armory, ajid aU hands partook
of the refreshments of champagne, wines, beer,
eic. After all hands hud p&riaiten to satiety,
the regiment was formed. E. L. Bridges, lieu-
tenant colonel commanding; George Burck,
major; V7.il. Harihan, adjutant; Capt. 3!ich-
ols, quartermaster; c >mpauy B, Bryan Rifles,

viously L^c-n appointed oltlcer of the day;

Col. A. T. Bedeii; iaearue Guards, Harry

been formed m battalion, the orders of the day-
were read b.v the adjutant.
The regiment was 'hen marched by
colonel Bridges, to the picnic grounds.
The procession was magniiicent, the mar-
shals and brass band ui front of the regi-
ment. \»ich color® Hying, was a si^ht grand to

GOV. O. M. ROBERTS
was introduced. Being the commander-in-
chief, and this not an occasion for political
speeches, Gov. Roberts came up fully to the
expectations of all. aud not discussing political
uestions, made such a speech as gave general
satisfaction. He spoke m behalf or' %ne mili-
tary organizations, and stated what ha had
been doing towards trying to get the railroads
to reduce their transportation so that he could
order an annual encampment; that unless such
was done it wouid no? be ordered. The old
governor "stated that he had paid his own fare,
and asked for no such things lor him-
self, and this shows why he can
afford to be independent aud do
what ho conceives to be right, under obliga-
tions to no one. W hile hio voice' is not good,
it was hard for him to be heard at a very
great distance; yet ho made aline speech and
aid full justice to himself.
COL. W. W. LANS,
having been loadiy called for, made a most
excellent speech. ' CoL Lang is very much of
an orator, and came fully up to the expecta-
tion of his friends. Like Gov. Roberts, he did
not touch upon political questions, but both
paid htting tributes to the soldiers, and par-
ticularly the ladies.
hon. sethjfilkpard
was loudly called for, and made a"beautiful
a.?d touching speech. Long may this gitted
and gallant gentleman live, and ere long be
elected to congress, for of such material shouid
congressmen be made.
THE BARBECUE
was then the order of the day; and never was
such a table loaded with so many good things
spread m Xavasot* before. There was the
greatest quantity of eatables, and plenty left
over after every one had feasted sumptuously.
Then came on the target practice, which re-
sulted as follows: Navasota Guards, 80; Bry-
an Rifles, 23; Johnson Guards, 21; Brenham
Grays, 1«; Joue=> Rifles, 5. After the target
practice, t hen came on the glass-ball shooting
match, which resulted as follows^ Fifty balls,
eighteen yards rise; Bryan, 88; Navasota, 30;
Brenham, *85. At night there was a grand
baU, given by the military company, at Mil-

of Texas, also gave some of her choice operatic

iroTJBS opinio*s.
Editorial Expressions IVo111 Leading
Paper*.
Charleston News: The nomination of
Wmiield Scott Hancock as the candidate of
the democratic party for president of the
United States is the final expression of the
honest desire of the national democracy to
rid the country of the plasue of sectional-
ism and to bury out of si«rht the bitterness
and animosity of the confederate war.
Philadelphia Press: Undoubtedly Han-
cock's candidacy will make an earnest tight
in Pennsylvania. Had any other candidate
been chosen, it would have been taken for
granted that the state was unalterably re-
publican, and no serious effort would "have
been made to wrest it out of republican
hands. But several facts conspire to make
the nomination of Hancock the signal for a
battle. He 13 presented as a " favorite son
his chief sponsor is the democratic manager
of the state; senator Wallace, apart from
his interest in his special candidate, lias a
deep personal stake in a victory here, and
these circumstances compel them to wage
a light. Republicans can uot afioid to
rest on their arms. They must gird on
their armor and enter at once upon the
contest.
Boston Pilot: There is one point in the
career of Gen. Hancock on which* it may
seem proper that the Pilot should say a
special word, albeit it is to refute as false
and silly a charge as ever emanated from
the brain of the wildest scribbler in all Bo-
hemia. It is the assertion that Gen. Han-
cock lias lost favor among the catholic part
of our population by his connection with
the execution of ^Irs. Surratt, and this sa-
pient opinion is based upon the fact that
Mrs. Surratt was a member of the catholic
church. Tn the first place, it is proper to
say that Gen. Hancock's connection with
the affair was sDlcly that of an officer obey-
ing his orders. Had we, or any other
catholic in the world, been in Gen. Han-
cock's place, our duty would have been to
do as he did, whether the condemned
woman were catholic or protectant, heathen
or infidel. A catholic knows 110 distinction
of creed in the performance of his duty;
lis quarrels with no man for tha execution
of his duty; he has no more sympathy for
a man or woman put to death justly oi- un-
justly because the victim is a catholic than
if lie or she were of any other relierioa or
no religion. Herein the Pilot, though no
organ, believes it voices the opinion of com-
mon sense and true religion. Catholics, of
course, laugh at the foolish idea that they
should bear ill-will on religious "rounds to
anyone connected, however closely, wit^i
the execution oi a catholic woman; but
there are a great many fools in Shis world,
aud a very common specimen is ihe man
who supposes other people to be influenced
by ideas which would have no weight at all
with himself in a similar case. Willie we
have very little respect for any man who
carries his religion into his politics, we
should have nothing but contempt for tiie
one who carried both into the sacred halis
of justice and law.
Chicago Telegraph: A "solid south " is
only obnoxious to that set of men who for
twenty years have assiduously labored to
consummate, in their political interest, a
"solid north." Their base intent has grown
so manifest, from year to year, that now a
sentiment throughout tie nation ratifies
and applauds a " solid south." To be less
than solid against tiie " bloody shirt " pol-
icy would be to have the wounds and sores
ol the late civil war reopened and reprod.led
through all time to come. It is credible to
the temper of the southern people that they
are at least disposed to let by gones be by-
gones. even if they must bury the republican
party in order to consummate the work of
union and fraternity. At every stage of na-
tional progress the protestations of southern
loyalty have been met with frigid indifer-
ence, and treated by the radical party with
undisguised suspicion. Had the wishes of
the south been alone considered, a civilian,
and not a warrior, would have been nomin-
ated at Cincinnati; but the democracy of
the north, anxious to silence all cavil re-
specting the disloyal designs and intents of
the south, proceeded iu their own behalf to
put the patriotism of that portion of the
union to the highest test by the nomination
of Gen. Hancock. Do republican papers ques-
tion the unanimous response of the. south—
that it will be solid tor the union soldier?
Nay. It is not the solid south
but the divided north that now
disturbs their rest. They would gladly con-
tent themselves with a solid south' forever if
they could but secure at ali times a solid
north. They would be the last to obliterate
the dividing line between the two sections
of this great nation. The republic, long
distracted and disrupted under radical lulo,
now looks hopefully to the democracy of
the nation for a divided north. The south
would be untrue to the union of the stales,
o her own prosperity aud instinctive pa-
triotism. to be other than solid against the
epubliean party, thai has for the iist fifteen
years despoiled and plundered her. To
make a soiid south and solid north impossi-
ble, vote down that party which has con-
tinued in power so long by keeping up the
dividing line.
Philadelphia Times: The movement to
secure the withdrawal of Mr. Garfield from
the republican ticket is premature and
arcely entitled to respectful considera-
tion. There are always men in every party
who go off at liulf-eock, and these who urge
his radical treatment of an ugly but per-
haps not incurable case, come under this
head. The proposition is an open insult to
Mr. Garfield, a reflection upon the conven-
tion that put him before the country as the
candidate of a great party for the presiden-
cy, and a gratuitous confession of defeat
which can only cause further demoraliza-
tion of that party. It is true, as urged, that
ihe nomination was ill-advised, and we
must even admit that it wjs a mistake.
There was, iu fact, 110 thought given
to the matter. The convention was
worn out by ballofting which brought
it no nearer to an end ' of its
work. A fierce fight of factions was going
on. On the one side it was " anything to
beat Grant," and 011 the other " anything to
beat Blaine." It was clear that the ohoice
of either of these distinguished gentlemen
would simply intensify antagonism within
the parly, aud be followed by the apathy of
the unsuccessful faction throughout the
campaign. Those who cared for neither
Grant nor Blaine by a singular accident fell
upon Garfield. A way out of the scrape
opened as by a miracle, and for a moment
11 seemed the only way. There was 110
time to recall Gariield's past. The conven-
tion saw him before it as a man who slood
high in the party, aud was not particularly
objectionable to any part of it. They
swallowed him with a great gulp. Morning
brought the recollection of the credit 1110-
bilier, De Goiyer aud the salary grab,
and thcv were very sick. If their
foresight had been as good as their
hindsight he would never have been nomi-
nated; but it wasn't, and that is all there is
about it. Retreat seemed impossible; re-
crimination would be fatal. AH that could
be done was to smile and make the best of
a bad bargain. That the nomination of
Gen. Hancock lias made the situation more
discouraging is not to fie denied. Garfield
would have made a hopeful fight against
Tilden. Honors would have been, ensv be-
tween cipher dispatches and the credit" mo-
liilier, De Goiyer and the income tax. If
Bayard had been the man the contrast be-
tween the candidates would have beengre.-t,
but the bloody shirt would have covered the
weak spots ia Garfield's record. Against
almost any other candidate than Hancock
there would hive been a £ood chance for
Garfield. But Hancock's staTnle,-.s record as a
soldier and a statesman, his positive ability
aud personal popularity have given ihe
democrats a reuv.rUable s'urt in the race. It
is uot even possible to push Garfield on his
military career. Tiie greater obscures the
less. Chickamauga is eclipsed by Gettys-
burg. There seems nothing left but to ran
Garfield on his record as a canal boatman
and as an Ohioan who is not too much like
Hayes. Already the democrats have de-
clared their policy to be aggression, aggres-
sion, aggression, and that of tiie republicans
must be defense, defense, defense.
Springfield Republican: The republican
organs and orators are deeply impressed
with the fact that Hancock is a mask.''
that he doesn't represent his party and is
not a "leader." Yea, verily, this is all true,
but it is always true when a military candi-
date is taken. It was true when Harrison
aud Taylor were nominated, and very true
when lirant was taken. Grant was not a
leader," he was not a republican even; he
had no views or convictions as it proved
upon the vital issues of his administration;
his policy toward the south was tempor z-
ing; he never thought out the financial
problem at all till he attempted to write an
inflation message, and couldn't do it. In
choosing his agents and subordinates for the
public service he failed still more signally,
disclosing the inexperience of the
man unpracticed in civil adminis-
tration, and the dull sense of
man of low-toned organism. In the anal-
og}- of the untried Hancock to the tried aud
unsuccessful Grant lies the consistency aud
strength of the present attitude of the" inde-
pendent press, Nobody can oppose Han-
cock so consistently as those who have been
opposing Grant, and, on the other hand,
those who have been laboring for "the
strong man" must be fettered and dumb in
regard to one of the chief grounds of oppo-
sition to Hancock. Suppose Hancock was
in favor of seating Tilden in 1877, haven't
they been in favor of nominating a candi-
date on the express ground that he would
seat himself, whether elected or not? The
clamor for Hancock's resignation of his com-
mission which has risen in some papers does
not come with a good grace from those who
wanted Grant because half a million soldiers
would "rally to his iaaugmation." In an-
other respect the attitude of the independ-
ent press is far stronger at this moment than
that of the republican party press in oppo-
sition to Gen. Hancock. There is an issue
of civil service reform. It has been much
sneered at. The independents alone have
kept it alive. An independent republican
secured its recognition by the Chicago con-
vention against their own lust of spoil.
President Hayes held to it till long after he
was deserted by his party. Now Hancock
is nominated, and what "is the first ground
of republican objection to him? Why,
Gov. Boutwell says these dreadful demo-
crats almost universally adhere to the law
that " to the viclors belong the spoils,"
while in the republican party such adher-
ence is "exceptional." Thus the stone
which the independents had hewn, and
which was rejected by the builders at Chi-
cago.and which was forced upon the conven-
tion by shame, becomes the very head of the
corner of the republican campaign against
the democratic candidate. \V hen Gov.
Boutwell sneered at " competitive examina-
tions" as " anti-republican" and " danger-
ous," he was following his fancv to " give
a dig" at those very independents whose
maiu issue he is very glad to adopt and use
iu the campaign. The independent press
and voters have already won the great
victories of the year, the defeat of Grant,
Blaine and Tilden. Anxious to secure pure,
elllcient and wise administration, and real-
izing their achievements already effected to
Hint end. their attitude is vastly stronger
for Ihe future issues of the campaign than
can be that of ihe timid or thick-and-thin
partisans who stilled their own convictions
of danger and of evil lest some note of pro-
test and of warning should break the de
coram of party subserviency.
Bayard aud Hancock.
Senator Bayard, in his speech at the
democratic ratification meeting at Wilming-
ton, Del., on Friday evening of last week,
warmly indorsed the action of the Cincin-
nati convention. He said: " They have
not selected unknown men ; not men of ob-
scuiity; not men who would be called, in
the slang of the times, 'dark horses.' No,
they have chosen m on whom the bright
light of public investigation has been shin-
ing for years. For the. lile'iine of a gener-
ation have they been known. There is no
man in America, and few in any part of the
world where the English language is spoken,
who did not know and honor Winfield
Scott Hancock long before the Cin-
cinnati convention was thought of; and
so of his worthy associate. Years ago
Indiana s:eut Wm. II. English to represen:
her in the councils of the nation, ami here
he gave proof of that sterling worth, high
intelligence and unimpeachable character
that makes him to-day a fit man to take the
chair of vice president of the United States.
The democratic candidate forpresident is 110
untried man; en the contrary, 1 will shew
that he has been tried, thoroughly fried.and
that he can lay claim to a record that iias
not fallen to the lot of any other public man
of his time. (Applause.) In 1868. he was
named by many as their favorite candidate
for president, and the delegates from Dela-
ware at that convention, held in New York,
balloted i'or him. if I recollect aright. He
was also voted form 1870, and now. for the
third time, stands conspicuous before the
people, with his every act subjected to ihe
vigor of partisan examination—and how
does he stand?
spotless and WITHOUT bepbo-ich,
favored by the unanimous voice of the rep-
resentatives of the parties. Now, gentle-
men, let me ask you one thing: having
passed through this fire of examination, let
me ask this vast crowd whether there has
been the first breath of suspicion ks to the
honor, intelligence, fidelity or patriotism of
that renowned and great soldier? Why wss
he nominated? He never held a civil office.
True, he has a military record as brilliant,
as unsullied, as glorious as that of any man
in America, but why did the democratic
party nominate a military man? ^will tell
you why: Because this man has proved that
tied gave him the same characteristics of
conscience and self-control which he gave
to the great George Washington. He held
great power. He was military governor of
a large extent of country. His will could
have been as law. At his pleasure stood the
liberty of every man. What was his course?
his course alone of all the military gov-
ernors in this country for the last fifteen
years? When asked" in Louisianna and
Texas to arrest persons, he inqutred where
was the judicial process; when asked to try
persons by- military commissions, he
pointed to the court-house and to
the jury of twelve; when asked to fine
men and to take from them their property,
he demanded to know by what, right, under
civil laws, he could do these things. There
have been soldiers perhaps as able, perhaps
as courageous, and that is
deal, but name me one w
over and over again to exercise arbitrary
power when he could have done so. You
can't name one. The man of our choice
echoes the same spirit that made our people
tree in 'To. and which will only restore and
consolidate that freedom in 1S80. Sir.
Bayard spoke at length on the events of the
part, saying that the republican party had
centralized power, and though in I8U0 near-
lv 800,000 more votes had been cast for the
democratic candidate for president than for
the republican candidate, the hitter was
seated by fraud aud force, with the assist
ance of Gen. Grant. If, he contiuued, for
the last four years you have been in peace;
if you have been at liberty to attend to your
daily avocations and build up fortunes, do
not thank the men who preferred llie mailed
hand of Ulysses S. Grant to lawful rule.
gex. garfield
is no unkown man. He has a long record.
He has been long a leader among the advo-
cates of force bills, suspension of habeas
corpus, military usurpation, and every other
means resorted to by his party to prolong
their power. There has not been a measure
tending to exalt the military above the civil
power, not a question tending to create ani-
mosity between the sections, in which
James A. Garfield was not on the same side.
All this we propose, to end bv placing in
power a man who, although a distinguished
soidier, never forgot that his citizenship was
a higher distinction. [Applause.] Mr.
Bayard concluded as follows: Jfy friends, I
have tried to meet this question fairly. It
may he remarked that we have always talked
against military power aud yet we have taken
up a military man. My answer is.we doso,
not because he is a military power—we ad-
mire his gallantry and honesty—but Hancock
is not only a soldier, he is a man. a citizen—a
citizen imbued with a knowledge of what
citizens should be in a government of law.
Nay, th re is another reason—there are
many reasons—but let me state one more.
There has been a great outcry in the north
thai southern people were antagonistic to
the north, and hated the government. Now,
it seems to me that this bubble must be
pricked. With a solid south for Winfield
Scott Hancock, it seems to me there should
be a solid north in the same way. Surely,
if the southern people choose Hancock for
some sinister et d, they must not only be
great knavt;s hut great idiots. If this battle
has to be a success—and God grant that it
may succeed in the fullest sense—wh.it bai-
ter instance of success can be found than to
see the man who led ttie hosts of the union
receiving the vote of every man who warred
against it—what victory greater than thisV
If that be not the fruits of statesmanship,
what is statesmanship for?
HOUSTON HAPPENINGS.
Houston, July 9.—This morning the Red-
fish boating and fishing club leit on their an-
nual campaign against the finny dwellers in
the deeps of Galveston bay. The following is
a correct rosier of the unhappy crowd: J. H.
Gray, president; J. £>. Usener, commander;
Kenry Ward Beecher WordwarcL chaplain;
Henry Suess, commissary; Louis &_osse, secre-
tary; E. Dubamei. treasurer: J. H. Chamber?,
Martin Curtin, Charlie Wichman, Will K.
Hunt, F. W. Sander, L. Greenough, R. P.
Boyce, Biliio Kerlicks. A. Ostertind, Albei t
Erichson, Tom Newman, captain, and Billy
Davidson, caterer for beer.
An abundant supply of necessary matters
were put on board the sloop, and every crea-
ture teemed to be in most excellent hum r.
Just before sailing, the chaplain was called
out, and E. P. Graves, on behalf of the club,
presented him with an elegant testimonial.
The receipt of it was accompanied by a speech
of masterly eloquence, and this, followed by a
few rounds of beer, sent the whole crowd off in
fay and jolly mood. They will return next
uesday.

Roports from uji the country say that the
cotton worm scare is not as bad as first re-

The political pot is seething straight along:.
Its outcome is one of the things even Toodles
could not find out. New candidates are spring-
ing up with each rising of the sun.
Cecil Young, who was shot in Brazoria coun-

Powell, from this city, is in attendance upon
him.
The Van AJstj'ne injunction suit comes up

Five representatives of the News met at the

that was noticed by outsiders.
Hon. S. S. Cox. the New York gentleman
who not only laughs, but also insists upon ex-
paining in book form the reason for his merri-
ment, gets a startling view of the infernal
regions by the aid of a negro who dreams
dreams. It is quite a revelation: 441 met a
laboring friend of mine the other day and he
said he had a clream that night and dreamed
that he was in Tophet. ' Whom did you see
there V I askeo, 4 any republicans V 4 Oh, yes,
plenty.' 4 Any democrats ?' 4 Yes, some, but
tLey were sent down for other things than
their politics.' * Well, what were the republi-
cans doing V and he s-nid.4 Each was holding a
negro betweon himself and the fire.'"

The New York Graphic asks the following
]^e tinent question: A question is raisea by the
London Atbemeum in a review ot Mr. John
Russell Young's book, 44 A Trip Around t>:e
rVorhl with ex-president Grant." The gen-
eral/md ex-presiclent of these free and inde-
pendent states was given the freedom of the
c.ty of London. But it is the invariable cus-
tom on such occasions for the recipient of the
honor to swear true allegiance to the queen,
her government and ber posterity. It would
be, indeed, curious, as the Athenaeum suggests,
if (-en. Grant had incurred obligations on thi3
and other occasions when he was made
burgess of cities of the united kingdom of
which he never dreamed." If he had been
nominated al Chicago and then elected next
November, it would have been rather awk-
ward to find that he had become a British sub-
ject. This matter should be looked into before
1S54.
