MERCILESS TAXATION OF SHIPPING.
In all American seaports shipping is the
Victim in greater or less measure of a sys-
tematic rapacity in the gui.se of taxation.
All the tribes of tux-eating parasites inhab-
iting the seaboard seem to regard the wealth
©f Ue seas as fair game for them to forage j
Vpon, and as a kind of vested estate from
tvkich to draw contributions to pay bosses,
yetainers, honehijHin, sinecures and round
ers. Asa general thing they fear to tax the
home population directly to satisfy their pro-
miscuous rapacity, and one of their favorite
methods of indirection is to multiply exac-
tions from the carriers of tjie seas. Cir-
cumstances make this the point of least re-
sistance, and with instinctive sagacity it is
Selected for attack. And the assailants are
jiot particular as to their ml it under tlie
(Constitution or ihe common law to practice
this kind of rapine, ^luny oi" their devices
seem to proceed upon the deliberate calcu-
lation that the right will not be contested,
t'hey know that the ship must come in and
go out, and that time is money with her
master and owners. The master can not
afford to resist payment, however
unjust, illegal and onerous the levy may be.
He sees a losing business in feeing an attor-
ney and footing a long bill of costs: but he
values his lime still more, and rather than
subject himself to the annoyance and ex
pense, anil his ship, in case she is not
bonded, to the delay and loss of defending
a. suit in the courts, he submits to the ex-
tortion, enters a harmless protest, anathe-
matizes the port and swears he'll never
again anchor in ils waters. It may be that
such practices are not carried on at present
to any considerable extent in the port of
Galveston. Be this as it may, the germs of
a formidable parasitism exist litre, and only
unremitting vigilance and timely precau-
tions in the interest of commerce can pre-
vent their development into huge and bale-
iul proportions. Galveston should take
warning from other maritime cities. The
commercial classes of New Orleans, for ex
ample, are threatened with a u -\v affliction
in a bill before the Louisiana legislature to
authorize the exaction of a heavy tax from
incoming vessels to maintain tlie quarantine
establishment. It is proposed to levy an
inspection charge of $30 in the daytime
pud $00 at night upon every ascending ship
that passes the quarantine station. Al-
ready the shipping interest is overburdened
a* New Orleans with port charges in a be-
^jrildering variety of forms and pretenses.
The New Orleans City Item throws some
faint and modest light on the situation when
Jt says;
The interests of this oity and State demand that t-he
Cb/nmerce of this port shall be encouraged by every
proper means. The practice has been too much
•be other way. The wharves, many of which are
or a very cheap description, have been rented out
to oontractors, who have been able to make enor-
saous proiits out of the revenues. These profits
actually represent so much illegal tax on com-
merce, $ince, clearly, they are in excess of the
cost of wharf construction and maintenance. Our
pilot laws, too, are much more liberal to the pilots
thas to the shinmasterR, while for many years,
and up to the time wheu ocean vessels began to
be generally propelled by steam, the exactions of
the towboat company were almost intolerable.
The few dollars thus wrongfully exacted from the
ships sailing to and from this port were nothing
less than a direct tax on commerce, and diverted
millions of tons from us to other cities. We have
lost enough on graiu alone to more than make up
for these exactions. Ana yot many apparently in-
telligent people inquire, with an air of innocent
Surprise, why the commerce of this city does not
keep pace with the growth of the country.
The State Board of Health, located in
ISew Orleans, wants a large and reliable re-
Venue, and very naturally looks to shipping
as the weakest interest and readiest source
from which to obtain it. Accordingly it has
got a bill under way in the legislature which
provides for a charge of $30 for every ship,
$20 for every bark, $10 for every brig,
$7 00 for every schooner, $.3 for every
steamboat (except towboats), $30 for every
Steamship; and if inspections are made be-
tween. sunset and sunrise, these charges are
to be doubled. Doctors always charge
double for night-work. The money thus
collected is to be used to support a
quarantine physician and an assistant,
■whose united salaries are to be
$7500, and to pay a boatman, watchman,
hospital steward, nurses, etc. It is not
denied that under the quarantine laws
these functionaries are necessary, and
that they should be well paid is admitted;
but their pay ought not to be drawn from
the ship. The ship comes to bring com-
merce—life blood to the city and the State—
and she should be subjected to no greater
loss or burden than the detention of ten or
twenty days in quarantine. The pay of
her crew goes on. while she is lying there at
the bidding of the State or the city. She
takes all the risk of damage to Her cargo by
the delay, and many other risks incident to
anchorage in quarantine. She loses valu-
able time—perhaps a. cargo and trip that
Would net her owners many thousands. Is
tlii3 not enough for the ship to lose?
The State and city want the trade, of
which the ship is the indispensable vehicle.
The ship is invited to come with her rich
argosy, but wheu aha comes, she is met at
the eatran.ee to the harbor, compelled to
Cast anchor and then called upon to hand
over $30 or $60 to pay a State physician for
coming aboard to examine the health of the
prew. The State and city get the benefit of
the commerce, and tax the ship for the
privilege of conferring the benefit. It is
not right. It is not lawful. It is not just.
Jt is not civilized, but barbarous and de-
structive. The best that can be said of it is
tb&t it U
Consists y^itli a chronic system
Of legalized Jobbery of the industry that
plies thd seas and the commercial public
which ih#t fudustrj serves. While they are
talking ill COnglcess about aboard of United
States comttxiasiondfa to see justice done
and tho publiG interests protected in the
inter-state tralfic of railroads, there is, per-
haps, piore urgent effceasion for some such
measure J&pfict to inter-state and
(0r&grf c^miUQTcff carried on by ships—a
commerce mercilessly beset with all manner
of local exactions to feed insatiable broods
of parasites.
MP. STEPHENS AND THE GEORGIA
DEMOCRACY.
The Democrats of Georgia seem hard to
please in a candidate for governor. When
it was announced- that Mr. Alexander II.
Stephens would sacrifice himself and accept
the governorship if the people wished him
to, the whole Democratic pre?s of the Slate
cried out: " Cat in Ihe meal-tub," "'nigger
in the wood-pile,' etc., and with nearly one
accord declared war to the knife upon the
queer, little, old ligament of immortality,
in the event he should run as an Inde-
pendent, or even submit to the coquetry of
the coalition. The Rcpublieansr, through their
'leaders, claimed Mr. Stephens as* theft* can-
didate, and pledged themselves to vote for
him. Sine Independents met as a commit-
tee and resolved to call no convention, and
recommended their faction to support tlie
-•Teat commoner." Then the situation
wits tariiiing, and the martinets of Demo-
%".Mtic discipline actually shook with
rage and fear at the prospect
of having their *• littlo giant" stolen from
them by an unholy alliance of Republicans
and Independents. Tlie Democratic press
made the very welkin ring with its War-
ery against the imminent a-postacy of the
beloved statesman, while the Republicans
and Independents, feeling sure of their
•iiune, threw up their sombreros with shouts
of enthusiasm and hallelujahs of victory.
The Republican press throughout the coun-
try took up the refrain, and sung hosannas
to Stephens and life prophets. Meantime.
! Air. St.pheus persistently adhered to his
! lied declaration of devotion to tho De-
mot racA, and hn* willingness to stand for-
governor only as a means of harmonizing
the peojVe of his State, and preserving the
Democratic party. This, however, was
not. enough for the fervid Democrats; they
clamored for a clearer and more emphatic
enunciation of his views and his status.
At this juncture, when the Democrats were
hurling hypothetical anathemas at every-
body's candidate, and the coalition were
claiming linn as their instrument to beat
the Bourbons, Mr. Stephens turns the tables
with a letter defining* his* position in un-
mistakable terms, and in a manner that
should have gladdened the Democracy to
its core and settled its policy. He reiterated
his unwavering devotion to the principles
of his party, repeated his declaration tliat
he would only consent to be a candidate if
it were the will of the people, and met the
demands of the Democratic organization
with the positive assurance that he
would under no circumstances be
a candidate without its nomination.
Here was the opportunity for the Georgia
Democracy—the opportunity for tlie Geor-
gia Democratic press. There is no good
reason why the Democracy of Georgia
should not permit Mr. Stephens to close
his public life in the highest office
within their gift. There is no circumstance
in his life, character or public service tliat
the people of Georgia can justly interpose
as an objection to his occupying the guber-
natorial chair. And there is nothing in his
present altitude that atl'ords a decent pretext
for withholding such a befitting close of
an honorable and useful political career.
And yet the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, and
other less important journals, say he ought
not to receive the Democratic nomination,
and assign as a reason that he will be
voted for as well by the Repub-
lican > and Independents as the Democrats.
Boiling down the reasoning of the Tele-
graph to its last analysis, it amounts to this
and nothing more: Because the Republi-
cans indorse him and the Independents in-
dorse him and propose to vote for him as a
non-partisan, as a pure citizen, as an able
statesman, and as a just and upright man,
therefore the Democrats ought not to in-
dorse and vote for Iiim. Mr. Stephens says
he is a Democrat, and everybody knows he
is. lie says he will not run if not nominated
by the Democratic party, and everybody
knows he will keep his word. But he says
he will not be a partisan governor in the
modern acceptation of that term. Is it this
that makes him obnoxious in select and
fastidious Democratic circles? Is Mr.
Stephens opposed on any issue of principle?
Xot at all. On any question of policy?
Xo. Is he likely to Africanize the
State? No man in his senses fears that.
Will his nomination and election—without
opposition—strengthen the Republican par-
tv 111 the State, or give Mr. Arthur the least
implored the khedive for a virtual abdica-
tion, but told nothing of their motive.
Arab! Be}- now goes beyond these arts be-
cause he has gained his first position. The
hour that brought tidings of Turkish inter-
vention at the heels oi the khedive's trembling
protest was swiftly followed by another an-
nouncement. Yesterday afternoon news
came from Cairo that the Arabi says now
that the Turk who comes with any serious
intention of intcrferring will be met ;is an
enemy. rTc is doubtless right in pYinciple.
if there be any principle on* either side in
the case; aud if the khedive be powerless to
rule longer, then England and Ffttnce may
do well at last to make the best bargain they
can with Arabi Bey, who appears to
be master of the situation. The trouble for
them is how not what it was yesterday; the
Turks'will not be so ii-kelv to try to inter-
vene on behalf of the bold rebels. It would
be a singular turn if they should attempt to
support the falling khedive, the protege of
tlie western' powers. This, if attefnpted,
would be very superserviceable Turkish zeal.
The difficulty is tlnit the Egyptians under
Arabi Bey will not be likely to make such
favorable terms with foreign bondholders as
the latter have heretofore enjoyed. The
present- troubles are at their foundation of a
kind that must inevitably arise iu any coun-
try trampled down under the weight of
profligate home rule and extravagant in-
debtedness to foreign bondholders, where
the working people are stinted- in sub-
sistence to keep up an army of t-a^-gatherers
and a select battalion of tax-eaters.
STATE rnvss.
Wu*t the latfMor Patter* Say#
Ns.t ^ Her.dejrson imbHshr^ an address
three-quarters of a column long in the George-
town Record telling the 4ipublio" that he is a
catwiidate for State senator, for tho counties
of Williamson, Travis and Burnet, said conn-
ties composing the Twenty-forth Senatorial
district and saying:
It will be impossible, with the limited time and
space at our disposal. to go into any extended de-
tail of our views at present. Wi will shortly
issue an address to the people, embodying our
views in full on all subjects of general interest.
Nevertheless, he gets off quite a platform,
an auto-biography, and a good* deal of good
historical and moral- reading, including a
pathetic appeal to voters, on the ground that
Nat. is a poor orphan. He says:
Broken down in health, poverty-stricken, with
no rich relatives or friends to assist us along life's
uneven journey, we have fought the great battle
of life from then until now as best we could, with
ever varying success.
Since his liftle coquetry with the Republi-
cans, in hopes of securing the Georgetown
postoffica, Nat has returned to full communion
ith the old Democratic orthodox church, and
says:
Should our fellow-citizans honor us by making
us the standard-bearer of tlie Democracy of this
senatorial district, we shall ever bear aloft its ban-
ner and advance it boldly to the front in the thicic-
es and hottest of the fight, and leave notlring on-
d me on utir part to reap a glorious victory! We
shall make a close and earnest canvass of the en-
tire district.
The Belton Journal, probably at the risk of
the life of its editor, denounces the late mid-
night murder of prisoners by a Bell county
mob. When prisoners in jail awaiting trial
for pelty offenses are taken from the custody
of the officers of the law, and murdered in
cold blood, it is time for the press of the whole
State to bring all its power to bear in behalf
of law and order, and particularly time for
papers that have attempted to justify assas-
sination in Missouri to pause aud consider how
their teachings may work in Texas. The
Journal, in connection with this case, makes
some remarks that should go home to public
officers and conservators of the peace. In re-
gard to the murdered prisoners it says:
For years they have been before the courts of
the country charged with various offenses, and re-
ared have been their threats against the persons
>f those who have appeared against them: es
laim to a coalition victory? It does not
ppear. Wherefore, then, the opposition?
s it born of a feai that the Republicans and
Independents are slyly introducingV Trojan
horse into the Democratic camp, and that
the 50,000 Democratic majority is somehow
to be devoured by the treachery of a man
who never yet betraved a cause?
IRISH LEADERS AND IRISH FACTIONS.
Parnell and Davitt at this moment oc-
cupy the most conspicuous and the most
critical position of any two Irishmen
ilive. Judicious frrends of Ireland are
looking with anxiety to their action, and
with eager hopes that they may be able to
turn aside the wrath of the British govern
nient and secure magnanimous legislation.
The danger is, however, that they will be
impotent to satisfy both factions in Ireland,
or either, and that they will be ground to
powder between the upper and the nether
millstone. There is probably no doubt
to their standing among the leaders of the
league at this juncture; but their proposed
concessions to secure peace and tranquil lit}'
do not conform to the policy of the league,
and it does not seem likely that the oppos
ng classes can be brought together in any
middle course. Parnell and Davitt have
genius as leaders, however, and it is within
the limits of possibility that the two may
make a twin Moses and lead the Irish
from anarchy to order, and from
bondage to liberty. James Redpath
says of Parnell: " His leadership
such as the times demand—not the in
tellectual autocracy of an O'Connell, but
tho organizing intuitions of a Lincoln.'
And of Mr. Davitt the same authority says
" He is a man who loves Ireland and liberty
so fervently that he would kiss the scaffold
with more than the rapture of a lover if he
thought that by so doing he could marry
liberty to Ireland." Dillon, O'Donnell.
Callan and Healy have but little in common
to bind them together except their dislike
for Parnell, and their conspiracy to dislodge
him as leader of the league ought to fail
from its unworthiness of motive—selfish
ness and demagogism. Parnell was prob-
ably tlie founder of the league. He«and
Davitt, assisted by Dillon, Kettle, Brennan
nd Sexton, originated and were present at
the first meeting in 1S79, and they put the
league on its feet by the aid Mr. Parnell re
ceived in America during his visit in 1880.
In March of that year he was its recognized
leader, and in the May following was chosen
leader of the Irish party in Parliament.
Should he be now deserted by these men
the party organized in 1880 will inevitably
go to pieces, aud with that party disorgan
ized and demoralized, and Pkrnell de
throned, the cause of Ireland, it is feared
will go backward, and her condition be
worse and more hopeless than at the begin
ning of the present struggle.
ARABI BEY IN POWER.
Arabi Bey has qualities which will com
mend him to his Egyptian fellow country-
men. He is not only a splendid rebel in a
country groaning under a complication of
domestic despotism and dominant foreign
influence, directed specially to the oppres
sion of the masses by extorting taxes which
swallow up thejtest share of their toil, but he
is an astute and resolute and ferocious poli
tician, who could send deputations to peti-
tion the khedive for his restoration to the
direction of the government, and threaten
them so effectively that they pleaded for
his reinstatement as for their lives, without
betraying that they were sent on the errand
with threats hissed in secret into
their ears, telling them that if Arabi Bey
became not again master in effect they would
be hacked in pieces beneath the swords of
Egyptian rebel Janissaries. For this reason
they petitioned with might and' main and
non as a hitching-post tor such a lot presents
a pretty picture.
The Local Chronicle states that Mr. J. F.
Hunter, of Wills Pointy has in his possession
the walking Cane that was presented to Gen-
eral T. J. Rusk, by his friends in California,
in the year 1S55:
The cost of this splendid cane was $300. Ir is
made of rosewood, and has a massive gold head,
with a beautiful quartz Stone secured on the top of
the cane, which opens on a uinje. an I covered
with a glass are eigrht different specimens oV srold
dust as they were dug from the mines of Califor-
nia. arid on tlie inside oi the lid Is e'mrx'aved these
words: .
General T. J. Rusk,
The Friend of California.
from Ffrs
California Friends.
San Francisco.
Octobers, 3S5ft.
This cane was carried by General liusk while he
lived. After his death was it s.*t apart to hi< son ,
Thomas 1) lUr-k. who dfed at Hallyille iu 1.S70. The
court tften set ttie c:rne apart to Thomas .f. RVsk,
his son. who was- n med for General Resk, his
£rtind-fathe<\ Mt. Hunter i • a brother-in-law i «
Thomas D. Rusjt. deceased, and the guardian of
tbe minor. T. J. Rns'r; hence we see the rnuse of
his having the cane in his possession. Mr. Thomas
Rueit will come in po session of the cane when he
arrives at his majority.
The Lamar County Tribune says:
If Mr. Henry's name is presented he will be apt
to find tiiat the people do not want a railroad at-
tornuy. stockholder, ctp., for cheir governor, airi
that the support .»t* ••prominent railroad men
Will not save hint. The nftme of Hon. John
Ireland is mentioned more frequently and nic e
favorably by the papers of Texjs than that of any
other gentleman in co^hec;ion with the office of
governor. He is our first choice.
The Bellville (Austin county) Times is in
favor of Judge Ireland for governor. It says:
Judge Ireland has not sought the position, but
the Spontaneous uprising in his favor "ali over the
State lias induced nfm to consent to allow hi- name'
ro no before the convention, lie is extren « !v*
; popular with the masses, and, should he receive
the nomination, will make a splendid run.
The GlarksvfHe Standard, edited by Colonel
Charles de Morse, comes out strongly for
, Judge Ireland for governor, and says of him:
Born in Hart county, Kentucky, January l, 18i7,
he is now in the prime ot a mature mauhoo 1. iNot
5 only in private life is he a man oC pur.- manner--
j ana &*potle.-.-r integrity, but we cha :fenge th<* clo-e -t
J inspection of his public record. He has oren we I
s ea'lled '"• the C.v5o of the Te^as Democracy." to>- on
no act .of hin life can the breath of suspicion be
cast. Sprung from the people, he knows the wants
of the peoplq; and the poor farmer boy has, by his
intellect ana integrity, achieved a place in the
affections of the people' second 16 tliat of no man
in Texas.
Lavaca is a small county, but the Herald
already announces some twenty candidates
by authority, and more are mentioned.
The Corsicana Courier makes the announce-
ment :
Rev. I)r. Curry, of Dallas, wiil lecture at the
C. P church Monday night next. Subject—What
are We Here For?
Ask Webster Flanagan.
The Georgetown Sun still bears at its mast-
head the ticket: "For governor, Oran M.
Roberts; for lieutenant-governor, John T.
Coffee." This is as solitary as the ticket of the
Austin Leader. " For governor, J. B. Rob-
ertson."
The Georgetown Sun says:
There are several newspaper men in the State
aspiring for representative honors. They could
do their country more good by staying at home
and getting out a reliable, fearless newspaper.
The following is from the Crokett Patron:
We see the name of Judge R S. Walker favora-
bly mentioned for a place on 'he Supreme bench.
Judge Walker is well known in Eastern Texas,
where he is recognized as one of the ablest of dis-
trict judge*, and in the position he now occupies,
as a member of the Commission of Appeals, he
has giveu universal satisfaction. Eastern Texas
feels proud of Judge Walker, and heartily indorses
him for a place in the court of last resort.
LETTER FR0.W WASHINGTON.
peeialty has this been the case with Shel on. Here
rhen, in our opinion, is the true reason for the vio-
lence visited upon these two men. They constant-
ly violated the laws of the land. When brought
ip for trial, they were either released, or a light
•lunishment inflicted. They felt secure. We have
aws for the protection of the innocent against the
vicious, and a healthy public sentiment will see
hat they are executed by proper methods. If it
s right to set these laws a-ide in one instance, it
is right in every instance, and there is no need of
courts. Society is then chaotic: the standard has
been destroyed, and who shall tell the conse-
quences ?
{Some of the papers of Texas hara of late
suggested the exemption of homesteads from
forced sales of every kind, including sales
for taxes. The Junction City Western Texan
remarks:
Congressman Sales has introduced a bill to ex-
empt the homesteads provided for by the States
from forcible sales by the United States. The
homestead is a subject little thought of by many
and opposed by some. A homestead that is
secured to the owner beyond a possibility of loss
from misfortune, luck, venture, or the many mis-
haps of life, would b-» sufficient; inducement to
cause thousands of reckless, roving people to set-
tle down as a steady, fixed benefactor of the
country.
A writer in the Examiner complains of
the management of the Waco postoffice, and
says:
We have got to get right down and lay the blame
where it belongs. Senator Coke is the man. If
it had not been for him we would nave bad a new
man at the head of this office. Charges were pre-
ferred against the postmaster, and after a full in-
vestigation by the proper officer at Washington
were indorsed "sustained," and they can be found
in the proper department to-day. But notwith-
standing this. Senator Coke insisted on having his
friend retained, and so it was ordered, I know
whereof I speak, and can prove it.
The Examiner answers:
What the charges are on file at Washington we
are not prepared to say. Presumably, however,
they are not of a serious nature, or the depart-
ment would have taken action of some kind on
them. Senator Coke secured Mr. Leland's reap-
pointment. It is fair to assume that in so doing:
le was controlled by reasons satisfactory to him-
>el", whatever this community may think of the
appointment. It could hardly be expected of
Senator Coke that he should now set himself
against Mr. Leland— certainly not to the exteut of
asking his removal, even were there grounds for
such a request. To do this would be a stultification
of his judgment, so recently exercised in securing
Mr. Leland's reappointment.
This is curt; bnt the Examiner ends by ex-
pressing the hope that the postmaster will re-
move the causes of. complaint or resign.
Colonel Yeager says he will have the Waxa-
hachie Enterprise in operation again in four
or five weeks.
The Victoria Advocate says: »
As suggested by jhe Cuero Bulletin of the 19th
instant, let us empower the delegates from the
Seventh Congressional district to the Democratic
convention at Galveston to select the place tor
holding the convention of this district.
Tbe Tyler Daily Courier makes this declara-
tion:
The people will be very apt to have something to
say in the present State canvass about that twenty-
five years exemption of the International railroad
property from taxation. Judge John C. Robert-
son, of this city, decided about two months ago
that the act exempting that road from taxation
was unconstitutional. The constitution says that
taxation shall be equal a d uniform, and it could
not be so when this same cla-.s of property else-
where in the State is taxed. Hereafter we s.iall
have something very pointed touching this exemp-
tion business.
Captain F. P. Alexander, editor of the
Greenville Herald, is spoken of as a probable
candidate for the legislature.
The Athens Narrow Gauge says " John C.
Robertson, of Tyler, is our choice for the Su-
preme Court bi-nch from this section.
Says the San Antonio Express:
Hon. Ashbel Smith writes a long letter defend-
ing the Bjardof Regents of the university from
the strictures of the Austin correspondents. His
language is temperate and plausible, and his state-
ments will be accepted as against those of the cor-
spondents.
The Wilam Messenger repeats the story of
how a vacancy on the Supreme bench was
filled, as follows:
When Roberts was nominated for governor at
Austin the convention, foreseeing the vacancy
which it wo Jra create on the Supreme bench, pro-
vided that, when he had resigned, the State Execu-
tive Committee should have power to name the
one who should be the Democratic nominee for Su-
preme judge on the ticket. The committee subse-
quent'y met at Corsicana, and, atter consider able
counting, measuring and hobnobbing, including
the throwing out of all proxy votes, went to bal-
loting. Hon. Richard S. Waiter, one of the ablest
jurists, in the State, received the highest number
of votes on the first ballot aud maintained tins
vote during the greater parr of the proceedings.
The balloting lasted during the day and until late
at night, when Judge Bonner, the present incum-
beat, was declared the nominee by his
brother, who was acting chairman of the com-
mittee. The writer was present at the time and
has personal knowledge of what he states. There
were nineteen members ef the committee present,
and it required thirteen votes to nominate. JuJge
Walker received twelve votes on quite a number of
ballots; yet about 11 o'clock at night, when Hon.
Ainai Bradshaw, a member of the committee, had
left the hall for a few minutes only, a ballot was
called for, and Judge Bonner receiving twelve
votes, was declared the n&minee. When Mr. Brad-
shaw returned he was surprised at the proc-eding.
Still it was hushed up at the time for the sake of
harmony, it was said, aud Judge Bonner's name
went on the ticket, and he was elected along with
the other members of the party. A great many
kept their mouths shut then who are opening them
now and the press is telling the story pretty freely,
and at the same time demanding that the wrong
shall, as near as possible, be righted by placing
Judge Walker's name on the next Democratic
ticket for judge of the Supreme Court. If there
is such a thing as justice or right among politicians
this will be done.
Cooper, in Delta county, is not one of the
humdrum kind ol country villages dozing
through the long summer days like a super-
annuated old Texas veteran. The Banner re-
presents it as a lively place, and says:
The great sensations of the town at present are
fleas, croquet and narrow gauge railroads.
The Weatherford Commercial-Herald drops
tho following mixed metaphor:
The fact is evident that there is a large and
earnest following at the heels of Senator Shannon.
He seems to be the sturdy oak to which the farm-
ers hitch the Pegasus of their faith, and he may as
well prepare t» serve ihem in a public capacity
the remainder of his natural life.

pian fowl with a head like a horse (though

HOW STEPHENS MAY MANAGE GEORGIA.
Washington, May 27, 1882.—I went with
Richardson, the pointed, conscientious man of
the Atlanta Constitution, to see Alexander
Stephens—Everybody gees to see him—the
sage of Liberty Hall, the ex-vice-president of
the Confederacy and member of Congress
from Georgia. He occupies two rooms m the
National Hotel—the apartments where Henry
Clay died—and is aided iu his helpless con-
dition by the colored boy Alec, a private
secretary and a special nurse. A
few days ago Mr. Stephens, while
making his way slowly on his era ches through
the capitol rotunda to the House of Repre-
sentatives, slipped and fell; since then he has
been confined to hi9 room with a sprained
anlne. He will not be out for a week yet. As
we entered his room he nodded a "cheerful
welcome, and bidding us to seats, came nearer
to us, propelling himself in his rolling chair.
Little more than a skeleton, he appeared like
a creature of another world. It seemed that
he had been of this earth once, in ordinary
human shape, though del cate, and bad con-
cluded to pass away; but just before sur-
rendering the last breath, had con-
centrated his gigantic intellect to make
another struggle. Ilis dark brown eye,
rapid in glance, bright and warm in
appearance, is the only sign of the light with-
in his wasted and helpless frame. White hair
over a big head, a yellow, wrinkled, parch-
ment face, no signs of a beard and a small,
sharp, well-controlled voice are other features
of his physical makeup. Mr. Stephens was
quick to ask about Texas and her growth. He
showed an interest in that direction, which
feeling he was assured was fullv reciprocated.
He was asked if he would be the independent
candidate lor governor of Georgia in answer
to the request coming up from that St ate. He
avoided the question somewhat and delivered
a little talk on Georgia politics, the main points
of which were that they might "reform"
the conduct of affairs inside the Democratic
party as well as otherwise. It could be plainly
seen that he felt as though he had the inde-
pendents where he wants them, viz: commit-
ted to him as the only salvation of the State,
and, having this advantage, would lecture
them into the party ranks, there to make the
fight straight out on a strong, liberal, pro-
gressive platform. He is wise in his own rea-
sonable conceit, in his undoubted ability to
organize reform in the party ranks, and thus
accomplish on a more solid basis what he is
called on to do as the leader of a crowd that
is out on a " bap-hazard cruise," as he
termed it. Ons thing very evident is that Mr.
Stephens, if he undert akes to run for governor,
will manage the whole canvass to suit himself,
both as to details and public policy. The sage
of Liberty Hall has great power in Georgia.
He is trusted implicitly, and is beloved by men
and women alike. Many of the latter call to
see him. I asked him jokingly if he had any
propositions of marriage, like Tanner, the
forty-day fasting crank, and Guiteau. He
said, not one. Mr. Stephens has a large mail
daily, including letters from all kinds of peo-
ple in his State, urging him to run for gov-
ernor. It is doubttul if any politician in the
United States has the power over his people
that he has.
TEXAS POLITICS HERE.
In this connection I will discuss Texas State
politics in a general way from this end of the
line. Before Roberts published his card dis-
claiming having named anybody for his suc-
cessor, and averring that he is not a candidate
for governor, there was much speculation here
as to what ha would do. This subject was a
live topic among our delegation, and Texans
here on business and lobbying. In the usual
way opinions w re expressed as to
wnac Roberts was going to do. His
card has silenced this interest some-
what, and the prevailing belief is that
he will want to retire from public life and rest
quietiy in a cosy chair of the State University,
withiu sight of the spot where he so often
lectured the legislatures. The opinion here is
that, in tbe scramble for the gubernatorial
nomination at the Galveston convention, July
18; Roberts may be called on to break a dead-
lock aud allow :he delegate? to go home.
This is a high compliment to Roberts, as it
implies a great faith in him as the one .man
acceptable to all—the rock of ages, as it were,
cleft for Texas in her time of political storms.
Reagan, Culberson, Mills and Jones are getting
letters asking them to stand for governor. None
of these gentlemen favor the call except Jones,
who, in reply to the question, "Will you be
the candidate of the Independents?" said " I
guess so." Reagan has written letters declin-
ing to allow his name tp be used for governor.
Cuiberson is plodding along in his usu*l way,
paying little attention to anything except the
bank question, on which he delivered a big
speech the other day. Maxey compliments
the speech very highly. Mills would rather
be in Congress than governor. The opinion
seems to prevail here that Ireland has the in-
side track for governor just now. Still,
uo preferences are expressed, though, of course,
there are favorites witn our delegation, as
there are in Texas. Friends of Culberson are
warning him to watch the call on him to be
governor. Most of these calls are from his
district. Chenoweth wants to come here.
Lightfoot is said to be in favor of stepping
from the Senate of Texas to the national house.
Both men are strong among their friends.
Jones told Republicans here that he intends to
run Dahoney, of Paris, against the Democratic
nominee in Culberson's district. Apropos of
the coming congressional canvass in Texas, I
asked Web. Flanagan, who is here (said to be
after Marshal Philips'* place), if he would
run for Congress in his district, having
heard at Austin that he said he could
make a successful race. He replied that he
could make it, but would not try; and that he
proposed to run Dick Wintersmith, of Tyler,
clerk of the House Commerce Committee, and
The News corresnondent here, as an indepen-
dent candidate. Mr. Wintersmith has not au-
nouneed as yet. If he is ever sent here he
would be a weil-graduated man at the very
start in the ways aud means of securing leg'
lation. The Travis county district is much
discussed. It is believed there will be a hard
tight there. Mr. Upton's colleagues here say
his district u will never send a better man."
He is said to be the very best worker
in the delegation. He goes about like
a busy lawyer in a brown suit of clothes, and
has positive views. He is a clear thinker and
gees right ahead. It is humorously charged
against him that he made his tariff speech to
catch the wool vote in his district, and that
his speech does not fit his present district.
He receives this pleasant sally good naturedly
and gives you his speech to read, saying thac
if you only peruse it carefully you wdi come
over to his position. Bob Taylor, who is here
after the scalps of all Federal carpet-bagger
office-holders in Texas—those who have no
property interests and home attachments
there—says Upton, with his views, would
can y the State as an independent candidate
for governor. It may be adopted as a fact
that Roberts fayors "Henry for governor
have individuality. Ill Hie Senate Maxev is

and military affairs, aridCoke is secopd Demo-
crat on commerce, * and first Demot rat

Keifer is always ready for a day call. Vest, '
of Missouri, is "always in well-shaped goods,
and boldly wears a gold chain around his neck
heavy enough to hold a pleasure yacht. \ ice-
President David Davis is a picture of re-
spectability. Old Robeson looks like an Eng-
lish lord." Members who get lodgings in
the suburbs for a dollar a day,
two meals included, spend the time they
should be circulating among their brother
members in the frequented hotels And ether
quarters, walking to and from their country
sour-milkiiomes. When they get to their seats
in the capitol they leel dull with bad stomachs
and hardly get to thinking before Calkins,
Reed and other bright Republicans have them
in the nine ho.e. I here suite the proposition:
that social position in Washington is a great
aid in getting the ear of legislative authority ;
and you, reader, have only to come here to
find this to be true in both the abstract and
concrete. Many a point is made in a ball-
room and at a" dining, and he that scoffs
at such an idea is worse Off than
a horned frog, and should travel a little to
learn something. Reliability, good personal
appearance, intelligence, sociability and
enough money in your vest pocket to keep
you from looking as though you had lost all
your friends, all tempered with a clear, ac-
tive, 7% brain, will accomplish more than the
cobarless, dust-covered genius that eats curd
on the Potomac flats. Chesterfield says: "We
can not help forming some opinion of a man's
sense and character from hi* dress. All affecta-
tion in dress imp.ie3 a flaw of the understand-
ing. Men of sense caretully avoid any particu-
lar character in their dress; they are accu-
rately clean for their oWn sake; but all the
rest is for the sake of the people."
A FARCE, SOME SPITE, ETC.
I hear ominous reports that tend to show
that Judge Morrill will not resign, as he had
intended to do, so as to go into retirement, but
will continue to preside over the Federal court
in the Eastern district. He sold his property
in Galveston, his home on Broadway included,
and would have filed his resignation in the
proper department here on his way north this
summer. His change of purpose is attribut-
able to the reception he met at the hands of the
legislature, when Labatt introduced a resolu-
tion inviting the judge to the privileges of the
floor. The proposition Was hooted down. La-
batt was toid that he introduced the measure
in order to raise a storm, but deuied
the wicked impeachment. The whole
thing looks like a farce from the be-
ginning. If the judge wanted to
have rest and peace during his declining days,
aud made all preparations fur it, and if the
Democrats wanted a change in the judgeship,
as reports have it, all hands have drawn too
heavily on spitefulnosS to show much reason
in the premises of their gravely professed in-
tentions. If Judge Morrill goes back to disci-
pline the bar, the bar will farcically beg his
pardon to get him in a humor sufficiently &ood
to file his resignation and go out, followed by
several rhetorical resolutions -'of the bar."
such as the lamented T. M. Jack knew how to
write.
G. w. .TONES.
G. W. J ones is dabbli ng in Federal appoint-
ments in Texas too much, it is asserted, to keep
him above party lines. It is claimed that
when his name is held up for independent
leadership some one will object on the ground
that he can not stand the test of criticism, and
that the nominating body which has to pass on
him will contain men who have felt the seaip-
ing-knife of the sly old Bastrop lawyer. The
preponderance of opinion here is that he is
nevertheless just now the strongest man for
the independent race, m and will poll more
votes than any one from the minority ranks,
though no one believes he can be governor any
more than he can fly. Not a few Republicans
here want the independent m< ivement headed
by a liberal Democrat, for the reason that
there would then be some chance of winning
the race. Jones has not said positively that
he would run tor governor. His letter to the
Jimpiec-ute is. it will be remembered, guarded,
and states that he will take the lead of the
movement if it is decided tliat he is tbe best
man. Rumors here say he may try A>r Con-
gress in the event there is a three-cornered
fight, and that he will be supported by certain
disappointed politicians in h s new district.
THE coast congressional district.
It is reported here chat G. P. Fiulay, Tom
Ochiltree, B. R. Plumly and Sautos Benavides
are candidates for Congress in the Galveston
district. By reason of his long residence on
the lower coast, Kinlav is doubtless figuring on
playing the highest card in the race. Bena-
vides, Finlay's friend, is in the minority—
among the Mexicans, so Ridge Paschal says—
and Finlay can not make much of his support
if he decides to support Finlay. It is thought
Finlay is the strongest man, however, now,
though Ochiltree is armed with a good
itump speech for the western boys,
and will call to see them. It is
asserted here that the ports west of Galveston
will combine against her and never let her
have a congressman; that there will always be
a Kilkenny war between the five ports seeking
deep water; and that if Galveston should get
the member Le would never be returned owing
to his inability to satisfy each of the ports in
the district. It is pretty certain that the Re-
publicans will control the n?xt House
of Representatives, and to meet this
situation it is argued that Galv<rs-
ton and the rest of the ports should
send a good, acceptable Republican. They
have too much at stake to ignore the be-t
means of getting influence up here. Toxas
wants ports with deep water, not party tri-
umphs. Mr. Stockdale has a show t j come to
Congress from the district as the compromise
between the^f^kting ports—or possibly Judge
Staytou—though both of these would have
leaning toward Indianola, now painfully ig-
nored. From this end of the line the coast
contest is looked forward to with many con-
ditioned predictions.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
By causing finely divided alkaline earths to
percolate through a gas-llame, Jur. W. L.
Scott has succeeded in gaining a considerable
increase of light.
Messrs. E. and H. Becquerel find that, con-
trary to the general belief, a thick covering of
snow does not protect the soil as effectually as
does turf from the severest cold and frost.
It has been observed that when liquid ma-
nures are too much diluted, trees are injured
thereby, on account of being compelled, in
seeking nourishment, to take up more water
than is needed; but, on the other hand, too
strong solutions cause a decay of the roots.
The general belief that the joints of animals
have always a synovial fluid serving as a lu-
bricant is, according to Dr. Lambert, an er-
ror. The elephant, with his relatively moder-
ate motions and great weight, has admirable
cartilages but absolutely no lubrication there-
for.
A prejudice has existed for some time in
European markets against American meats,
due to a belief that such supplies are largely
iufected with trichinae. U. Colin recently as-
sured the Paris Academy of Sciences that
American salt meat, as now imported into
France, may transmit trichinosis only iu very
rare cases of imperfect salting.
Experiments upou the action of the electric
light on plants, at the Palace of Industry,
Paris, have resulted less favorably than was
expected. The naked rays from the electric
arc were found to be injurious; after passing
through glass they ceased to have any hurtful
action up- >n plants, but their efficacy was not
great, illumination at night is not fatal to
plants, but no proof has b-*eu obtained that it
is really beneficial.
