The Best Men Regardless of Na-
tionality and Party Politics.
The deliberations of the meeting of
Germans, the proceedings of which are
given in another part of this paper,
evince the public spirit of a true citi-
zens' conference on the means of se-
curing, at the approaching municipal
election, the best men for Mayor and
Aldermen. We are fain to assume—it
must be assumed, unless we abandon
all hope of rescuing this city from ruin-
ous maladministration—that every in-
telligent citizen of Galveston not faith-
lessly faithful to some pernicious fac-
tion or riug, is prepared to plant him-
self, with respect to the general issue
involved in the election of March, on
the resolutions unanimously adopteu
by our German citizens at the meeting
referred to. The triumph of the cause
of reform and good government is as-
sured if the body of our citizens, re-
gardless of nationality and party
politics, will refuse to commit
themselves in advance to the sup-
port of nominations for Mayor
or Aldermen, because, reserving
their judgment and choice, they intend
to " unite, without any distinction, in
voting unanimously for the best and
ablest candidates," and "to support
only such candidates as have won the
confidence of their follow-citizens by
their ability and good character."
Surely, in the municipal affairs of Gal-
veston we have seen enough of the
fruits of a blind acceptance of tickets
manufactured by machine politicians.
The result, to say the least, hardly at-
tests the wisdom or the justice of a
rule which requires the citizan virtually
to abdicate the right of suffrage, as re-
gards the selection of the most impor-
tant officers of the city government, in
favor of the machine which trots out
party candidates and prospectively dis-
poses o I non-elective offices in the way
deemed best to promote the prosperity
of the machine. The maladministra-
tion which has brought the municipal
affairs of Galveston to their present
wretched condition is either necessary
or unnecessary. It is unnecessary
unless the voting population of the city
are incapable and unworthy of local
self-government, and unless local self-
government here is an absolute and hops-
less failure. Suppose, after the election
in March, affairs get no better, perhaps
get worse, if that be possible, because
an unfit incumbent is in the Mayor's
office and unfit men are in the Bsard of
Aldermen. In that case, what could the
people say? With what grace could they
complain of a local mismanagement of
which they have been the authors?
They could only reflect that, in casting
their votes or in not voting at all, they
turned a deaf ear to warning upon
warning, shut their eyes to example
upon example, rejected, wantonly and
perversely, the most palpable lessons of
experience, and became deliberately
the architects of their own municipal
ruin.
• ———^
Rotation In Office.
Mr. Seeligson's speech at the German
meeting on Sunday afternoon was in
the main excellent in sentiment and apt
in observation. But in one passage he
fell into a confusion of terms which
has the appearance of a grave error of
judgment. " There is no intention,''
said Mr. Seeligson, " to discredit any
of our present officers personally, or to
charge them with neglecting their duty;
but I believe in rotation in
office, and approve the sentiment
of the old proverb, ' a new
broom sweeps clean.' I think you ought
to elect a man who will leave the old
beaten track that has led you into the
morass and deplorable condition in
which you see the finances of the city."
The rotation in office which has so long
been a favorite doctrine with machine
politicians, does not mean the applica-
tion of a new .broom, does not mean
the reform of existing abuses,
does not mean a departure from
the old beaten track that has
led into quagmires of extrava-
gance and financial embarrassment.
It does not mean any change for the
better, but'.means simply persistence in
a system of politics essentially vicious
because fashioned upon the theory that
offices are not exclusively public trusts,
but may be propeily claimed and
awarded on grounds of personal favor
or party services. This is the doctrine
of rotation in office which was wisely
repudiated by the late Democratic
National Convention and which Mr.
Tilden has condemned in both speech
and action.

Before the Privileges and Powers
Committee, Gen. Judson Kilpatrick
testified that he took with him to North
Carolina a letter from Chandler that he
had the confidence of the National Re-
publican Committee and was worth
consideration, with one hundred dol-
lars for expenses. He had no instruc-
tions to use money or improper means
to influence the result of the election.

Senate caucus, and, it is positively as-
serted, will become a law.

ments made with the Sioux Indians by

Black Hills.
Marshal Pitkin was askei, in the
Privileges and Powers Committee,
whether money was paid out of United
States funds to witnesses brought to
New Orleans, and whose testimony was
used by the Returning Board. Witness
said they were not so paid, so far as he
was aware, though he paid United
States witnesses in the usual course.
The committee also examined witness
as to affairs of his office, and the fact
brought out that the number of paid
special deputies employed by him was
840. Their duties being'in New Orleans
they all received pay tor only one day,
except 75 of them, who received pay for
ten days. About 1500 special deputies
acted in other parts of the State, but
received no pay.
Reports of sub-comruittecs were read
to full committee.

Forty-fourth Congress—Debate In
tlie House Over (he Use of the
1 roopa in tlie ' Elections-Senate
Engaged on Electoral Bill.
Washington, Jan. 22.—A message
from the President was laid before the
House in response to a resolution call-
ing for copies of orders given for the
use of troops in Virginia. South Caro-
lina, Louisiana and Florida during the
election. Copies of the orders were
transmitted with the message. The
President defends his action as being
simply in the performance of his duty
under the constitution and laws, and
says that, if he had had more troops at
his disposal, he would have stationed
them so as to prevent the violation of
the election laws in these States and
also in Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia.
Mr. Wood, of New York, moved to
refer the message to a select committee
of eleven to inquire whether there has
been any unwarrantable exercise of au-
thority, for which the President is
ustly responsible. A vote on the reso-
ution was prevented by parliamentary
device. It comes up a3 unfinished busi-
ness to morrow.
6enate.
Washington, Jan. 22.—The chair
laid before the Senate a communication
from the Secretary of War, inclosing
the report of Lieut. Gov. Gilmore, En-
gineer Corps, in regard to survey of
water line communication from the
mouth of St. Mary's River, Georgia,
through Florida by way of Okeefono-
kee Swamp to the Gulf of Mexico. Or-
dered to be printed and lie on the ta-
ble.
Mr. Merrimon spoke in opposition to
sending Committees of the Senate away
from the city to take testimony. He
said the result of sending committees
away was to deprive States of represen-
tations; recently the State of Wiscon-
sin was without representation on the
floor of the Senate when questions of
great importance were being consid-
ered.
Senator Morton argued that Hayes
had been elected President. He had
supposed that all agreed, in the absence
of legislation, that the President of the
Senate must count the vote. The tel-
lers were mere facilities for making the
calculations and keeping the account.
They counted what the President of the
Senate handed them. The counting of
the votes was a ceremony, to which the
two houses were witnesses. The con-
stitution provided that the President of
the Senate should, in the presence of
the two houses, open all the certificates,
and the vote should then be counted,
and if no candidate had a majority of
all the electors appointed, the House
should immediately proceed to elect.
Mr. Morton argued that the question
of eligibtlity of the electors was a
matter left with the States under the
injunctions of the Constitution. Very
few Republicans respect this bill aad it
will be taken, if at all, as a dose of
castor oil. Senator Edmunds burned
his ships behind him when he denied
the power of the President- of the
Senate to count the votes in the absence
of legislation. He thus seemed to make
it a necessity to accept this bill. _ This
bill was the product of the Mississippi
plan; the dark shadow of intimidation
had fallen upon this chamber. There
was no power to go behind the returns
of the election of electors as certified
by the proper returning or canvassing
officers of the States. Neither State
courts, United States courts, nor Con-
gress could do it, and for Congress or
this commission to go behind the deci-
sion of the returning officers of a State,
would be a revolution, and draw to
Congress the power that was intended
to be left to the States.
The bill was a compromise, in which
the Republican party had yielded the
vital point, and would take a place
alongside with the compromise of 1850
and 1820. Compromise measures gen-
erally succeeded for the time and re-
sulted disastrously. The vital point of
the bill and the most objectionable was
that which confers the jurisdiction on
this commission. They were invested
with the powers which belonged to both
houses. It was the duty of the Presi-
dent to determine and present the true
certificates from the electors of a State,
and, when a certificate came into his
hands, he must investigate and deter-
mine whether it came from the electors
of a State; he must decide that ques-
tion npon his peril and present that
cestificate to the two houses of Con-
gress.
Frelinghuysen followed, arguing the
constitutionality of the bill.
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, op-
posed the bill as a Democratic mea-
sure.
Mr. Edmunds said he would press
the bill to a vote to-morrow, even if the
Senate would have given one night to
the counting.
Adjourned.

lector Second District, Louisiana.
MATAMOROS.
Serious Doubts as to the Genuine*
ness of" Revueltas* Commission.
[Special Telegram, to the Galveston New*.]
Bhownsville, Jan. 22, 1877.
Guadaloupe Fernandez, the emissary
sent by Cortina to Gen. Germino Tre-
vino, for the purpose of arranging the
difficulties between Cortina and Revu-
eltas, and also to ascertain specially if
Revueltas had really been appointed
by Diaz commander of Matamoros, re-
turned on Saturday night, and reports
that Trevino had appeared much as-
tonished at the action of Revueltas in
pronouncing for Diaz; that he did not
believe Revueltas had received any ap-
pointment from Diaz; that he did not
feel authorized to act in the matter,
but would report to the government
and await orders.
The civil employes appointed by
Diaz still refuse to take possession of
their respective places, not having con-
fidence in the guarantees promised by
Revueltas. A proclamation has ap-
peared fixing the 28th day of January
for the election of President, Judges
of ^the Supreme Court and members of
Congress. All those implicated in the
election frauds of Lerdo are disfran-
chised.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Finals of the Conference—Remarks
of the British and Russian Plen-
ipotentiaries— Russia's Conrse
Faintly Indicated.
London, Jan. 21.—A dispatch to
Reuter's Company from Constantinople
says Safvet Pasha opened proceedings
at te-day's (Sunday) sitting of the con-
ference by reading a note stating that
the Porte might come to an understand-
ing with the Powers on certain points
of detail, passing over in s.lence the
proposal relative to the appointment of
Governors, and, instead of an Interna-
tional Commission, proposing a local
elective commission, presided over by
an Ottoman functionary. Finally
Safvet suggested that the settlement of
questions relative to Servia and Monte-
negro w«re reserved for an ulterior de-
cision.
Thereupon Lord Salisbury declared
that the Porte, having refused the two
chief guarantees demanded by the
Powers, there no longer was any com-
mon basis for discussion, and the con-
ference therefore must be regarded at
an end. Gen. Ignatieff, the Russian
plenipotentiary, spoke similarly. He
declared the Porte's proposal unaccept-
able; laid stress upon the responsibility
resting on the Porte, and expressed a
hope that Turkey would not reunder-
take hostilities against Servia and Mon-
tenegro, but caute the position of her
Christian subjects to be respected.
The conference then broke up. Lord
Salisbury and Gen. Ignatieff leave Mon-
day, and the other plenipotentiaries in
the course of the week.
Safvet Pasha justified the note he
read at the conference to-day by the de-
cision of the Grand Council.
Before the dissolution of the confer-
ence General Ignatieff spoke on behalf
of the Cretans. Lord Salisbury said
Europe would gladly see the Porte ex-
tend reforms to its entire territory.
The departure of the ambassadors does
not imply a rupture of diplomatic re-
lations. Charges d'Affairs remain.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.—A Berlin
telegram, which was published on
Thursday last, stating that Prince
Gortschakoff had issued a circular to
the Russian representatives abroad, ex-
pressing the belief that Turkey would
reject the conference proposals and de-
claring that Russia could not undertake
a war policy, because Europe would
not support her and might form a coali-
tion against her, is a pure invention.
No circular of any kind has been is-
sued. The Czar awaits official conse-
quences of the result at Constantinople
before adopting a decision respecting
his next step.
London, Jan. 22.—A Reuter tele-
gram from Constantinople says that Ig-
natieff declared on Saturday, after the
conference, that if the Porte should
disregard the armistice or take any ac-
tion hostile to Montenegro or Servia, or
if the Christian inhabitants of Turkey
should be subjected to any hardships,
Europe would treat such proceedings
as provocation and would consider
what coursc ought to be followed.
The Berlin correspondent of the Lon-
don Times telegraphs: Russia is begin-
ning to represent to the Powers that,
the demands of the conference having
been rejected, it devolves upon Europe
to take more forcible proceedings.
Should Europe ascertain it impossible
to agree on joint action, Russia will be
able to declare that the failure of the
conference is the defeat of Europe, not
of Russia.
The Ambassadors of the European
powers visited Midhat Pasha, Grand
Vizier, and Safvet Pasha, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, to-day to present their
Charges d'Affaires.
The Marquis of Salisbury left Con-
stantinople to-day.
The Pera correspondent of the daily
Tdegraph says it is probable that the
Porte, after the departure of the ambas-
sadors,may voluntarily grant larger con-
cessions than those demanded by the
Powers. General Ignatieff in his
speech on Saturday remarked that
Russia's moderation must not be
misinterpreted. It did not origi-
nate in weakness, but in the govern-
ment's sincere desire to act in accord-
ance with the wishes of Europe. Eu-
rope reserved the right to take future
action with regard to the grievances
existing in Epirus and Crete.
The Telegraph's Vienna correspondent
states that the truth of the reports of
heavy French purchases of grain in
Hungary is denied.
A dispatch from geru reports that
Hobart Pasha has been instructed to
oflLr admission into the Turkish fleet
to a number of British naval officers.

NEW ORLEANS.
Louisiana Republicans Rallying—
Packard metropolitans Detected
in a Scheme for Recapturing the
supreme Conrt Building.
New Orleans, Jan. 22.—Telegraph
Manager Barnes returned Sunday morn-
ing.
It is reported that oa Saturday after-
noon legislative warrants to the amount
of $80,000 were cashed by prominent
Republicans.
At a conference of Republican lead-
ers, held last night, all differences of
opinion were amicably adjusted. It is
thought prominent party men both
here and in Washington will hence-
forth work harmoniously together.
Four Packard Metropolitans, hereto-
fore concealed in the Supreme Court
building and evidently a party of ob-
servation, were detected Saturday night
and at 2 a. m. Sunday the building was
reinforced by Col. Angel's battalion of
militia. The men, it is said, confessed
that their instructions were to take ad-
vantage of an unguarded moment to re-
capture the.huilding

J. Tilden to recover $150,000 alleged
balance due of income tax. This af-
ternoon the capias was issued and
served on Mr. Tilden, returnable on the
6:h of February.
United States District Attorney Bliss
says he was directed some time ago by
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to commence suits against all parties
who had failed to pay income tax, but
he (Bliss) delayed bringing this suit on
account of the position of Mr. Tilden
before the public.

speaks to-morrow night. There will be
no election on the first ballot.
Norwood appears to be the strongest
candidate, though Ilill's friends are
confident. Smith will get a good vote.

stated in official circles that Prince
Hohenlohe, German Ambassador, has
lost no opportunity of assuring the
Duke de Cases that Germany regards
the attitude of Franca in regard to
Eastern complications with the best of
feelings, notwithstanding attacks of the
German press. The good understand-
ing between the two governments has
been at no time interrupted.
Germany Suspecting the French.
London, Jan. 22.—A cable special
from Vienna says semi-official letters
have been received in that city from

spiracy in France to endeavor to gain
power in that country for purposes hos-
tile to Germany.

PERSONAL.
William K. Martin, of Pittsbugb,
asked a companion to sing the revival
hymn, " The Sweet By and By," and
at the close of the first verse, killed
himself with a pistol shot.
" I live for those who love me," said
a high-toned young man at the wrong
time; and the young lady said: "You
needn't stay on my account."
Now that it is being proved that a
large number of negroes voted the De-
mocratic ticket at the late election and
the bulldozing lie won't go down, the
Hayes organs are seeking refuge in the
assertion that their votes were bought.
The mother of a young actress pre-
sented herself to the manager of a Paris
theater in a state of intense indignation.
"Pretty goings-on, these!" she cried.
" Your flower girl brings a bouquet of
flowers to my daughter, an innocent
child of seventeen, and says out loud,
right before the whole company, that if
she will go to supper after the perform-
ance she will find fifty louis under her
table napkin!" The manager sternly
replied: " I will see about that this mo-
ment, That flower girl shall march out
of this theater before she is a day older.
She had no business to speak so loud!"
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise: Nye
went to Secretary Stanton once to make
a petition for some dead soldier's or-
phans. It wai in the darkest days of
the war. Stanton paid: "I have not
time, Mr. Nye, tp see to what yon
want." " Suppose you take time, Mr.
Secretary," said Nye. " You are un-
reasonable, Mr. Nye, in pressing such a
thing at this time," fcaid Stanton.
" Permit me to say that you are the un-
reasonable man," answered Nye. "If
you were not a United States Senator I
should say you were very impertinent,"
said Stanton, haughtily. " If you were
not a great secretary of war I should be
tempted to say you are making a dam-
ned fool of yourself," replied the old
Gray Eagle, with his eyes blazing.
Stanton looked at him a moment, and
then softening, said: "Maybe I am,
Jim—who knows—come inside and tell
me all about it." "Now, Ned, my boy,
you are growing sensible," said Nye,
and the business was quickly arranged.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Dallas JTail: A gang of three card
monte dealers are plying their voca-
tion on the trains of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, between
Palestine and Longview. Travelers,
beware.
Wednesday seven more car-loads of
iron arrived for the Dallas and Wichita.
It will be carried to the front at once
and laid.
Fort Worth Democrat: A mule team
attached to one of the street cars, while
standing in front of the Clark House
yesterday, disengaged themselves from
the car and started up the track to the
stables, where they were captured. The
driver, being puzzled as to how he was
to get the passengers and the car back,
accidentally threw off the break, which
he was carelessly handling, and the
force of the wind at once started the
car, which soon attained a more rapid
speed on the level track, and arrived at
the switch just in time to meet the car
from the north on time to the second.
Denison News: The M., K. and T.
mail train was several hours late Wed-
nesday, owing to the wrecking of a
freight train in the Cherokee Nation,
which occurred early in the morning,
caused by a broken rail. It is reported
that the engineer, fireman and one
brakeman were so badly scalded it is
thought they will die.
Banner: At a meeting of the citi-
zens of Brenham, held on the evening
of the 17th inst., with a view to pro-
curing the right of way and necessary
depot grounds for the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe Railroad, Col. D. C. Gid-
dings was called to the chair.
The following resolutions were then
adopted:
liesolced, That the citizens do grant
the right of way and necessary depot
grounds, not to exceed ten acres, to
said railroad.
Resolved, That a committee be ap-
pointed for the purpose of raising sub-
scriptions and receiving donations, pay-
able to a trustee to be appointed, to
procure the right of way and the suffi-
cient depot grounds for said railroad.
Messrs. Wm. Thompson, B. Eldridge,
J. A. Wilkins, H. Hodde, Thos. Dwyer,
and H. E. Lockett were appointed on
said committee.
Resolved, That F. A. Engelke be ap-
pointed Trustee, who shall receive and
hold the notes and subscriptions to pro-
cure the right of way and depot
grounds, when the railroad company
shall locate the same.
Reeolved, That P. W. McNeese, Chas.
Asbeck, Wm. Thompson, P. W. Con-
nell and R. Hoffman, be appointed a
committee to accompany and assist the
engineers or agents of said road in pro-
curing the right of way through

Columbia, January 19, 1877.
Eds. News—Dr. Young, the great tem-
perance lecturer and organizer, lectured
here to-night on " local option," a
question which has been attracting some
attention in this precinct for several
weeks, with very happy effect. The
organization U. F. of T., now one year
ot age, is very strong for so small a vil-
lage as Columbia, and has effected great
good.
The winter has been very severe in
this section, as in other parts of the
State, and a heavy loss to stock and
cattle-raisers must follow, especially in
portions of the county where the prai-
ries have been burned off.
Weather still inclement, with the
g ouml generally too wet to plow. Far-
m)rs have a late start; indeed, few have
yjt commenced operations. More at-
tention will be paid to corn and pork-
raising, aad less to cottca than hereto-
fore, " H."

General Order No. 14.
I. The company mustered into ser-
vice on the 26th day of July. 1876, un-
der the law approved July 22, 1876, en-
titled " An act to suppress lawlessness
and crime in certain parts of the State,
and to make an appropriation therefor,"
will be mustered out of service on Jan-
uary 25, 1877, their term of service ex-
piring on that day.
II. Lieut. J. L. Hall is authorized to
reconstruct a company, to serve for the
period of three months from that date,
unless sooner discharged. Said com-
pany to consist of twenty-four men
(two sergeants, two corporals and twenty
privates), making a total of twenty-five
officers, non-commissioned officers and
privates.
III. The changes in the force author-
izsd under the law are rendered neces-
sary, in order to utilize to the best ad-
vantage the appropriation for the sup-
pression of lawlessness and crime in
certain portions of the State.
IV. The Governor and Commander-
in-Chief regrets that the ill health of
Capt. L. II. McNelly, during the past
term of service of his company, as well
as the present necessary reduction of
his force below the proper command of
a captain, indicates tj^at another should
be placed in charge of the small force
that can be kept in service for even a
limited time.
\. Capt. McXclly will turn over all
public property to Lieut. Hall, who will

Tlie Empress Eugenie.
[From the New York World.]
The Empress did not come until 1.30
o'clock; and when she arrived she seem-
ed perfectly unconscious of having in-
convenienced any one. There was an un
dignified bustle about her, as if she
were hurrying herself to get through
some necessary but uninteresting busi-
ness; and she had a light, trifling, co-
quettish way and movement. Not only
her manner, but her appearance, was a
terrible shock to me. I have not seen
the Empress of France for over twenty
years. She was then in the full bril-
liancy of her beauty, a young wife, a
young Empress! Through all these in-
tervening years of her grandeur,
and vicissitudes, I have never lost the
memory of her rare beauty. Whenever
I have thought of her during these last
year3 I have pictured her as a quiet,
handsome, melancholy widow, dignified
and elegant. But no such agreeable per-
sonage appeared the other day. She
was dressed quietly enough, in a very
simple, ugly English black costume.
The skirt was extremely short, without
flounce or other trimming, except a
broad black braid. This costume had
a long, loose jacket, and she wore a
simple English hat of felt. Her feet
were trim, and she minced about on her
toes and high heels. But she was
painted red and white and black. Her
eyes were darkened, and also the eye-
brows and eyelashes, and you could see
the paint on her lips. Then, upon her
head was a reddish-blonde wig. " Why,
she wears a peruke!" was the whisper
among the hidden observers. There
was no mistake about it. You could
see the peruke form in the front hair.
This false hair was waved over the
forehead and arranged in long tresses
at the back. Her head looked like a
well made-up barber's block. In her
hand she carried a large yellow cane of
the style of the coquettish marquise
canes of the days of Louis Quatorze,
She carried it as a caprice, not as a
support, for she played and toyed with
it, pointed at the pictures and twirled
it about in her hand.

The Rev. Father Hanson (Uncle
Tom) had a reception at Brighton, Eng-
land, December 6, at which he related
his experience. He narrated his inter-
view with the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and told how his Grace quietly
passed to him a £56 note. At the
close of his remarks an American in
the audience asked him if he had ever
received any money from Mrs. Stowe,
or the American or the British pub-
lishers of the book^of which he was the
leading character. He said, emphati-
cally, "Not a sixpence." The Arch-
bishop asked Uncle Tom at what uni-
versity he graduated. His reply was,
" The university of adversity." His
Grace ' expressed astonishment that
Uncle Tom spoke English, and asked
him where he learned it.

Schench's Pulmonic Syrup, sea
Weed Tome, asd Mandraee Pills—These
deservedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution in the healing art,
and proved the fallacy ot several maxims
whicn have for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The false sup-
position that "Consumption is incurable"
deterred physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients afflict-
ed with it reconciled themselves to death
without making an effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable.
It is now proved, however, th»tf Consumption
can be cured, and that it has oeen cured in a
very great number of cases (some of them
apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pul-
monic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Schsnck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
bath, according to the requirements of the
case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter-
rupted good health for more than forty years,
was supposed at one time to be at the very
gate of death, his physicians having pro-
nounced his case hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore-
said medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr
Schenck's preiaratiens with the same re-
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary to personally
purp.
