Mahoxe sent the following circular to his
agents throughout the State of Virginia:
Petersburg, September lf>. 1883.—Dear Sir:
Please send me as quickly as you can a list of the
names of such Funders as you think arc reasonably
open to conviction, giving the post office of each.
Yours truly, William Ma hone, Chairman.
It was a confidential communication, but it
leaked out. 
An old Alabama Democrat, who is tired of
the old order of things, has suggested in a let-
ter to the Selma Times some novel changes, one
being that United States senators be elected
for twelve years, be paid $20,000 a year salary,
and be ineligible for re-election, and forever
excluded from the presidential chair. Also,
that the president be elected by Congress for
seven years, and be ineligible for a second
term.
The Christian Advocate again hastens to
put itself in a peculiar attitude by quoting a
local report about the raiding of a notorious
dive and the arrest of a number of men and
women, found there, for vagrancy, and then
classifying well-appointed beer saloons" in
the same category. If the Advocate has not
taken leave of common sense it knows that
people do not usually go to well-appointed beer
saloons for purposes of—vagrancy.
The World prints a list of New York city
millionaires. Taken as a whole, they are a
poor Jot outside of their purses. It is a noto-
rious fact that there arc not more than six
millionaires in the United States with ability
for anything but business, and only two of the
many millionaii es who could really be called
great men apart from one narrow groove of
successful effort. These two are Samuel J.
Tilden, of New York, and Leland Stanford, of
California.

made by the Louisville Courier-Journal of the
vote for speaker, questions the accuracy of the
account so far as it relates to Mr. Carlisle's
strength, and says: "As an instance, three of
the five Democrats from Louisiana are set
down for Carlisle, who is barely sure of a
single vote from that State." The Now Or-
leans Daily States replies as follows: 4'The
Picayune's correspondent ought to know that
both Hons. E. John Eilis and N. C. Blanchard
have publicly declared their preference for
Carlisle, and it is equally certain that our new
congressmen. Hunt and Lewis, are likewise for
Carlisle. Only J. Floyd King is suspected of
being for Randall, and if he votes for him he
will misrepresent his constituents from whom
he will hear in no uncertain tones. Louisiana is
for Carlisle, and against Randall, his sup-
port by the Picayune to the contrary notwith-
standing." According to this opinion, if Ran-
dall is elected tho Democratic party will have
been betrayed so far as that State is con-
cerned. There is the same feeling elsewhere,
and will continue at least while the power of
the speaker remains what it is at present.

MEXICAN POLITICS AND AMERICAN
INTERESTS.
There is gratifying reassurauce in the im-
pending change of management and tone in
the Monterey Revista. Largely through the
labors of the Revista heretofore, as a real or
pretended exponent of Mexican political opin
ion, signs in Mexico have not of late seemed
unqualifiedly auspicious and encouraging to
Citizens of this country interested in schemes
for the introduction of American capital
American enterprise and American commerce
into that country. Whatever may be said to
the contrary, something of the old revolu-
tionary spirit lurks or smoulders in Mexicc
still. Ultimately the prestamo must be im-
possible, but the question has to be decided
whether at and immediately after the coming
election in that country tho government w
be established upon the permanent footing r
quired to protect foreign capital and enterprise.
There is evidently a wide-spread opposition to
tho Diaz policy, which is the only policy that
promises stable government ami protection of
all legitimate interests, enterprises and indus-
tries. It is now impossible to foreshadow the
strength and purposes of this opposition. Politi- |
cal methods iu Mexico mystify an American ob-
server. No candidate opposes Diaz, and
jet there is a virulent opposition to him.
Here an opposing ticket would be put in the
field, and the majority having declared their
choice tho issue would bo settled. There, in
all probability, the Diaz political machine, with
its military attachment, will not be opposed nt
the polls. Still it may require a struggle be-
tween the forces of order and the forces of
revolution to decide the result. The election is
considered a foregone conclusion in favor of
Diaz and his railroad policy, but the bailot-box
"seems to be an American institution, and an
appeal to arms from its decision has heretofore
always been possible in Mexico. But Ameri-
cans can rely ujkjii this much. The Diazor Gon-
zales government has the sympathy of the
State governments: the military is under better
control and discipline than usual; the
government has a strong point in th?
use of railroads for the transportation of troops:
and so long as it is administered or inspired by
the greatest statesman. I he most potent politi-
cian and perhaps tho most accomplished
military chieftain of Mexico, the fiat of the
ballot-box will be maintained. But if the op-
position is as formidable and inappeasable as
rh'^ anti-Diaz newspn >-»rs of Mexico declare it
to be, the strength of the government will in
all probability be required to suppress it by
force after the forms of an election have been
gone through with and Diaz declared to be
elected president. At all events, at this crisis
the visit to Mexico of Governor Ireland was
  opportune. Whether hf» made his
bank president 4t Valley -m the interest of peace and
good will, for recreation, or to view
some princely hacienda with speculative
intent, yet it appears certain that his aim
and conduct while in foreign parts have
lieen in the direction of establishing amity on
the frontiers, thereby removing prejudice and
assisting the Diaz campaign. It was an unex-
pected movement which tho opposition to
Diaz will question, but which Diaz himself
must gratefully accept as timely and service-
able. It may result in the introduction of
some of the effective campaign methods of
American politicians along with railroads,
manufactures, excursions and other American-
isms. In later times this opportune visit of a
Texas governor and successful American par-
tisan leader may be found to mark a great and
radical departure in Mexican political contests.
At any rat*, it is the beginning of especially
friendly relations bolween political chiefs of
the neighboring States, which may be expected
to result in the interchange of valuable hints
and experience on both sides as to the lw?st way
of managing tho opposition. If tho Mexicans
become interested iu the beauties and intrica-
cies of the American system of partisan poli-
tics, it is suggested that they will have little
time or disposition to interfere with railroad
or other American projects, and that they will
not need to seek elsewhere for exciting and
profitable occupation pending elections. The
governor of Texas may in time for this service
be canonized.
SYSTEMATIC CHIVALRY OF INDUSTRY.
At certain railway stations, where many
trains arrive and depots and platforms are
frequently crowded, and at public exhibitions,
landing stages and other places, notices are
often put up bidding people beware of pick-
pockets. There is room for a reform in this
matter. It is not necessary that people should
beware of pickpockets, and there is strong rea-
son why the pickpocket should be let alone and
even encouraged; not that there ought to be no
change in the method of carrying money, but
that is only part of the subject. The pickpocket
if not a pickpocket would have to engage in
some other employment. If industry were not
diversified we should all be farmers. By a por-
tion of the population engaging in the work of
picking pockets, tae native skill and ingenuity
of the American citizen are developed,
and Americans may become so dexterous
picking pockets that foreign purse-
extractors will find little encouragement to
bring their energies and science to this market.
The pickpocket must live, and as it would be a
calamity to have too many farmers, if he can
bo provided for as a pickpocket, that is a happy
thing for him and for the farmer, for he is
spared hard work and the farmer is spared
having him as a competitor; moreover, the
pickpocket consumes meat and bread and other
products, and hence helps to make a home
market for the American farmer. Beyond
this, his vocation tends to further diversify
American industry. The pickpocket furnishes
employment for policemen and detectives, who
would also be farmers if there were no diversi-
fication of American industry. Decidedly, the
police force is a moral institution, and the
criminal classes keep the police in motion and
in existence; therefore the criminal classes
keep a moral institution going. By a slight
tax upon the purses of the traveling public,
pickpockets can be maintained. The police
will then be permanently needed, and
the farmers will not see their industry
ruined by competition, and will not be
deprived of their home market. Iu fact, the
more pickpockets and policemen and the fewer
fanners this country has, the less grain and
cotton America will export to Europe, and the
higher prices will the farmer charge for every-
thing he has to sell. A pickpocket, if he could
be sure of capturing a $50 purse every day,
would be able to pay $5 for a dinner, and
would cheerfully co-operate to make wheat
sell at $5 a bushel. If everybody minded the
notice to beware of pickpockets, and the busi-
ness were entirely stopped, the disastrous con-
sequences pointed out are not less obvious than
inevitable. But a certain hardship unques-
tionably exists, for though Shakespeare said,
•'Who steals my purse steals trash." and it is
true where the purse is a common one and has
been used to carry market money for a twelve-
month and gets thoroughly frayed and soiled,
the possession of money inside the trashy purse
may be of immediate consequence to the
owner, who will feel badly hurt not
only by the deprivation, but by think-
ing about it. He thiuks that with a
given sum—knowing what the sum is—he could
purchase certain articles, or go on a certain
journey. He might be just as well off without
making the purchase or taking the journey,
but if he loses his purse, containing #50, he feels
iu bad humor about it. How to maintain the
pickpocket industry, and not hurt the feelings
of those whose pockets are picked, that is the
question that concerns all good protectionists.
Tho idea which furnishes the solution is as
simple as it is beautiful. Let the citizen who
Travels put some of his money in one pocket
and some in another, and never count it. He
will not feel so much hurt if the pickpocket
takes his money—that is a part of it—if he
never knew how much he had in that particu-
lar pocket, or how much in all. The money
will do the pickpocket quite as much good,
however. The robbed individual of course
loses no less than the robber gains, but so long
as the robbed person does not know how much
that is, he ought to feel comfortable—that is,
if ho belongs to the dupes of protectionism.
The experts in that system are the ones who
gratify their curiosity by counting the money
after each transaction, or after an industrial
campaign. Their relation to industry is of the
chivalrous sort.

"ohn Bigo-
to be in close
Tons with Mr. Til-
Tderaiion would th»> lat
adeocy, demand the rareful
ie public generally, and of the
fc party particularly. With Mr.
willing to accept the presidency, the
y before tfie Democratic party as regrml? a
fit and expedient choice was clear. With Mr.
Tilden out of the race, the Democratic posi-
tion is not strengthened, and the best
minds of the party will have
to concentrate and name his successor
in order to make Democratic victory possible
in the next national contest. There is no de-
nying that at the present time Mr. Tilden is
the strongest man in the party. Without any ef-
fort of his own, but with his mere consent, with-
out complaining, without the usual gloss and
tinsel of electioneering, without any extrane-
ous effort, the Democratic convention, if held
to-morrow, would be forced to nominate him
by the strength of public sentiment. True, he
is not popular generally with the politicians,
but the people are greater than the politicians,
and in certain contingencies act for themselves.
It is still a question in the minds of some peo-
ple whether an old Jeffersonian like Tilden
could refuse the call of ; the people
if summoned t® the public service.
Horatio Seymour, another New Yorker,
possessed of many points of resemblance to
Mr. Tilden, flatly refused to be a candidate in
16GS, and doubtless was sincere, yet when the
convention tendered him the nomination with
practical unanimity, he did not dare to refuse.
Perhaps Mr. Tilden would have equal respect
for the demands of the people, and though not
wishing to take upon himself the burdens and
responsibilities of the presidency, would re-
spond to the popular demand. But, though
the Democratic party and the people generally
might be willing to accept Mr. Tilden himself
for the presidency, it is doubtful if he would
be awarded the privilege of naming a substi-
tute. The News Washington corre-
spondent yesterday morning related on
the aulhoriy of E. John Ellis, a Loui
siana representative in Congress, that
Mr. Tilden had Grover Cleveland in trainin,
for the Democratic leadership. It must be ad-
mitted that the course of Governor Cleveland
and the actions of Mr. Tilden's inter-party
friends have been such as to give some credi-
bility to this idea. The course of Governor
Cleveland was modeled after Tilden's adminis-
tration, barring that the present executive has
more vacant rooms in his upper story than had
the executive of 1875 and 1870. Mr. Cleveland
is an honest, respectable man, a thorough
Democrat, and, as mayor of Buf-
falo, made a most excellent official.
The one bold act of his administration as
governor of New York, thus far, was the veto
of tho five cent fare bill, a legislative measure
of questionable constitutionality, and the veto
message in that case sounded very much as if
it were inspired from Grevstone. If Mr. Tilden
wishes to be the Democratic Warwick, he must
present a strong mau, a man equal to great
affairs and the gravest emergencies. If Mr.
Cleveland is such a man, let it be fully shown
before he is formally commended to the people
for the presidency. Dickering, wire-pulling,
slate-making, president-making politicians
have reigned long enough, and unless indica-
tions are deceptive, the people intend to act
for themselves in the near future. The Re-
publican politicians were taught a lesson last
year, and unless the Democrats are equal to
the occasion, they will be taught a lesson next
year. .

TME OHIO EIGHT DRAWING TO A
CLOSE.
The return of Judge Hoadly to Ohio, even
debilitated physically as bo" continues to be,
seems to have infused fresh life into the excit-
ing campaign iu that State, and those Republi-
cans who were dead certain of a victory for
their side a few weeks ago are now suffering
from the qualms of doubt. The friends of
Hoadly imagined when he was nominated for
governor that tho campaign would be unusu-
ally clean and decent, but a few weeks suc-
ceeded in banishing their rirst illusion. Every
charge below murder and arson were leveled
at Candidate Iloadly. His professional charac-
ter was attacked, his persoual honesty ques-
tioned. his political standing denounced, and
in less than a month the l oaders of the Com-
LOOSE ADMINISTRATION OF LOOSE
LAND LAWS.
The State Land Board, empowered to sell
and lease school, university and asylum lands,
under certain regulations contained in the
grant of this power, have no power, it would
seem, to sell or lease these lands without strict
compliance and full observance of the regula-
tion indicated. This board is required to have
the lands classified and advertised before any
such disposition can be made of them. And
vet it has leased a large area of school lands
not classified, as required by the law under
which it acts, and hence not known to be pas-
toral lands, and not known to be of the class
of lands that the law permits to be leased in
large quantities. Again, it has leased these
lands without advertising them for sale or
lease, and has thereby avoided the require
m nt of the law'in letter, and more especially
in its spirit, because the new school-land law
was intended to invite the open and active
competition of the world, which under the re
pealed school-land law was practically impos-
sible. It is no justification of this transaction
that it is temporary in its nature, and that the
contract may be annulled at the option of the
board, for it will be believed, until the con-
trary is shown, that the inducements, influences
and considerations which have procured this
irregular contract, will keep it in force until
such time as the lessees are prepared to aban-
don it, or to legalize their control of the pro-
perty. Now, how will settlers in the
district of country where these leased
lauds are situated regard the trans
action? Will it not appear to these
persons, whether nestlers or large stock
raisers, that there are laws which prohibit
them from tho occupation and inclosure of
school lands, but which for more fortunate or
influential persons contain no such prohibition
Are not the people generally who desire to
purchase and lease these lauds required by the
laws of the State to await the action of the
Land Board, until the lands have been ap-
praised, classified and advertised, before they
can lawfully purchase or lease and occupy
th>m? Now. when they perceive that, in or-
der to obtain possession, the law is to lie vio-
lated; that it is needless to wait; that a dill
gence or a competition outside of the law (and
it appears in contravention of it) is rnvited
that the law is slow and uncertain in its exe
cution, while influence at the capital is swift
and certain—when these considerations are en
tertained in the distant rural districts by men
of no great means and less political power, it
is pretty sure that the fence-cutters and other
lawless men will be encouraged in their vio-
lence, their ranks be reinforced and the law:
l>e brought intp general contempt. The par
ties of the second part to this contract are
leading and honorable citizens, and it is not
intimated that any of them could be drawn
into a transaction of questionable character in
its moral bearings; but the condition of
the public mind in the pastoral districts
as portrayed by Adjutant-general King, and
the lawlessness superinduced by loose land en-
actments and loose administration of the land
laws, are patent to them, as well as the board,
and they ought to know and consider well the
hurtful influence upon the minds of a large ele-
ment already disposed to contempt of law and
order which this transaction will exert. Here
one week the fence-cutters are urged by the
adjutant-general, with the approval of the
governor, to lay aside their revolvers and wire
clippers and appeal to the law to remove in-
closures of lands which are not authorized by
law, and the next week the Land Board is re-
ported to be engaged in turning over to non-
residents large bodies of school lands for inclos-
ure without authority of law. Surely, it is in
such circumstances at least inconsiderate in
a congressman, an ex-lieutenant governor and
nere with & coop of sixty-five cocks, and
from all parts of the country indicate that
will be the most noted thing of its kind held in
he United States in a long time.

Somethingi like this might be said of tho
origin of fashions In dress. It has often been
said that most changes of style in dress come
from the disreputable classes of Paris. The
newspapers are quite as ready as young ladies
to adopt slang terms, and both would occa-
sionally blush to give the origin of some words
that have taken their places in the dictiona-
ries and become respectable. Words, like
those who use them, in the estimation of the
evolutionists, have had an humble origin in
most cases. ___________

The Hemphill Reporter comes out with half

the future. The editor has made a trip to San
Augustine and got lost in the woods on his way
home, but comes out like the old white horse
from the wilderness, and says he is now deter-
mined to make a paper worthy of the support
of all who feel that Sabine county can and
ought to support a home paper. He did not
tarry in the wilderness as long as Moses, and
so has a better prospect of living to enjoy the
fruits of his labors by the way.

The Bryan Enterprise still pits the Agricul-
tural aud Mechanical college against the uni-
versity. It says:
The News mentions boat-rowing on the Colorado
aud a plentiful supply of fish for brain food as in-
ducements to young men to attend the university
at Austin. These advantages would hardly coun-
terbalance the temptations to evil excesses to
which they would be exposed. The parents or
guardians w ho can afford to expend $400 or $W0 an-
nually on his son or ward, and can risk the excesses
of city life, may natronize the university. Parents
of more limited means, and greater solicitude for
good morals, will prefer the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college. with equal educational facilities
The Dallas Times would set the Agricultural

DETAILS OF TEE CAPTURE OF
CLABE YOUNG.
The Noted Texas Outlaw Safely a
Prisoner and on His Way to This
State.
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Chicago, October 5.—A detective arrived
from Wyoming Territory having in charge one
of the most noted and desperate characters
that ever rohbed a train or cut #a throat. The
man's name is Clabe Young, and he hails from
the Southwestern part of Texas, where for
years prior to 1S7S he and his brother Bill were
leaders of a band of outlaws and road agents.
They became a terror to all peaceable citizens,
shooting down innocent and defenseless travel-
ers, robbing banks and individuals, stealing
horses and cattle aud running them into
Mexico. At last, urged by desperate means by
the extremities of the situation, the citizens or-
ganized for the purpose of putting a stop to
these high-handed outrages. Just at this time
Clabe Young rode into the town of Tilden and
shot down in open daylight an inoffensive
Irishman, named O'Donnell. This was in No-
vember, 1878. Learning that rangers were on
their track, the Young brothers and other
members of the gang fled the country, and al-
though the State authorities offered large re-
wards for their anrest. and skilled detectives
were put on the scent of the leaders, no clew to
their whereabouts was ever discovered.
Some three mrnths ago, however, a Chicago
detective, who was in Wvoming on other busi-
ness, succeeded in locating the outlaw near
Sand Creek {.ass, at the foot of Table moun-
tain. about sixty-five mil^s south of the town
of Rawlins. He was living on a ranch with
one Mrs. Castro, whose husband he had driven
away from home the year before, lite-
rally robbing the man of his wife,
his * ranch and $1700 worth of cat-
tle. Mrs. Castro had applied for a divorce
from her husband, for the purpose of marrying
Young. The detective, after coming back here,
where he secured particulars aud a requisition
for Young's arrest, returned to Wyoming,
where, with the help of the sheriff of Carbon
county, he succeeded in capturing the despe-
rado. They arrived in tl» vicinity of Castro's
ranch September 26, at about 3 o'clock in the
morning. The men •ecreted themselves in
some bushes near the house and waited for
daylight. As soon as the first signs of life were
observed about the place the officers went to
the front door and knocked. A voice sang out,
come iu. They entered and found Clabe
Young sitting on the side of the bed with his
pants and one boot on. Without appeariug
greatly surprised at so early a visit, the out-
law invited the men to be seated, aud re-
marked, as the morning was cold, he would
bring in a whisky bottle. He pulled on his
other boot and rose apparently to go into the
rear room, when the detective and sheriff
suddenly seized him by the arms and held him
fast, while a deputy covered him with a re-
volver. Young made one desperate lunge to
escape, but before he could make a second ef-
fort his wrists were pinched by nippers and
the next instant a pair of handcuffs were ad-
justed. Mrs. Castro came running in with a
double-barreled shotgun aud cried out: Clabe,
for God's sake, can't you use this? Her two
sons also rushed into the room, one armed with
a butcher-knife and the other with a bar of
iron, but they were both speedily disarmed, as
was also Mrs. Castro. The boys were taken
into custody, and with Young were conveyed
to Rawlins and put in jail. A special train
was provided for the detective at Rawlings,
and he proceeded at once to Cheyenne with his
prisoner. After a delay there the journey was
resumed, and the officer and prisoner are now
well on their way to Texas.
Young is down-hearted and thinks he will be
hanged ou his arrival in Texas. All his brava
do has left him since his arrest, and he fre-
quently breaks down aud weeps bitterly. He
admits that he murdered O'Donnell, but de-
clares that he was drunk at the time. Yoitng
is about thirty-two years of age, five feet four
inches in height, of medium build, with in-
describable gray eves, sharp features and a
whining voice. He looks the cunning, coward
ly de-perado that he is. His career in Wy-
oming has been an eventful one, almost equal
in point of desperate deeds to his wild life in
Texas. On one occasion, while under the influ-
ence of liquor, he rode into a circus tent while
the performance was in progress, and with a
revolver in each hand, began firing right and
left, calling upon the people to clear out, as he
intended to run the show himself. He created
a terrible pauic in the audience and a general
stampede, aud escaped. He was, during his
entire residence in that territory, notorious as
a cattle-thief. The value of cattle stolen and
sold by Young and another member of the
Texas gang, in the month of July alone, was
estimated at $13,500.
Officers are now on the track of Bill Young,
in the northern part ot Wyoming, and it is ex
pected that sevefal arrests wifl follow as
sequel to the capture of this king of rustlers.
The Young brothers have long been associated
with some of the most noted border outlaws,
among them Big-nosed George, of Texas; Lew
Hall, the famous cattle thief; Jesse and Frank
James, and Middleton, the stage-robber, who
was hanged at Rawlins three years ago.

The Harris-Bouchee-Affray — Harris
Recovering- and Ziod»ed in Jail*
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Comanche, October 5.—The sheriff of this
county to-day brought in Carter Harris, who
was arrested in this county for killing Robert
Bouchee on last SundajL The particulars of
the killing were as follows: Carter Harris
was married to a Miss Bouchee some two
years ago, but recently he and his wife sepa-
rated, and she returned to her father's house,
which is near Bouchee springs, in the north
western portion ot this county. It is said that
the cause of the separation was that Harris
treated his wife cruelly and failed to support
her. Her brothers resented this treatment,
and when they and Han-is met they would re-
new their quarrel. On Sunday, the 30th ulti-
mo, the Bouchee family went to church near
where they live, and Harris also went
there. He carried with him a loaded
shotgun, which he concealed in the brush
near the church and when services were over
and the congregation was dispersing, Harris
approached Robert Bouchee aud they began
quarreling, when suddenly Harris turned into
the bushes, where his gun was concealed, and
seizing it shot Robert Bouchee fatally through
the bowels and then turned on Wm. Bouchee,
his brother, apparently with the intent of
shooting him, when William struck Harris on
the head with a rock, felling him to the ground.
He then seized Harris's gun aud beat him se-
verely and fractured his skull. Robert Bouchee
died in a few minutes and was buried Tuesday.
It was thought Harris would die, he was so
badly hurt, but he has improved so much that
the sheriff, who has been near him all the time
since the killing, thinking he might possibly
recover, arrested him and brought him to town
and lodged him in jail to-day. The communi
ty sympathize deeply with the Bouchee family.

The Belleville Standard thinks that almost
incalculable good would come to the great mass
of the people were the habit or system of crop
mortgages utterly annihilated, aud says:
L'nder its workinss the planter is continually be-
hind. and. as a necessary sequence, is compelled to
pay a large per cent, of the annual products of
his farm for the privilege Of remaining in that un-
enviable condition. In addition to this, by the
terms of a crop mortgage, he is. to a certain ex
tent, deprived of the privilege of marketing his pro-
ducts at his own time, on his own terms and where
he pleases. In short, he has not the absolute con-
trol of the productions of his own land and the
fruits of his own labors, uor is he free to dispose of
them as his judgment dictates to lie for his best
interest. He has no choice in buyine his supplies or
in selling his cotton or grain. He is in the power of
the merchant who makes him advances, and to him
alone can he look for necessaries, regardless of the
price.
The Standard is in favor of the repeal of the
law providing for such mortgages.
The Marshall Herald says:
The colored convention at Louisville was noth
Ing more nor less than Fred Douglass's scheme to

his own interest.
The Brownsville Cosmopolitan, published on
the Mexican border, uses a combination of
English and Spanish in its editorials, as people
in that quarter do in conversation. Tha lan-
guages, however, seem to fraternize better than
the editors of the opposite sides of the Grande
river of the North. The Cosmopolitan says of
our esteemed Mexican contemporary:
The Cambio Is un poco inaxacto in reference to
una co*a. We are not aware that there is un dis-
gusto between el redactor del Cosmopolitan y el
tenedor de libros del condado, though we are in-
formed the latter has beeu considerably disgusted
over some friendly digs that we have given him in
this paper "just for the fun of the thing."
The Coleman Voice is for Tilden.
The San Antonio Times, speaking of the ag-
gressive conduct of the negroes, says:
Much that is oondemned in his course would be
tolerated and condoned if men Would only appre
ciate that one little expression, "put yourself in
his place."
The trouble comes from the determination
of the darkies to enforce this rule. They are
resolved to take the place of the whites.
The Corpus Christi Caller says of the speech
delivered by Fred. Douglas before the colored
convention In Louisville:
It is rather ill-timed, to say the least, and will not
tend to aid the condition of his people. The race
will advance faster, become more enlightened
wealthier, and happier by leaving politics entirely
alone. Let them put their attention to elevating
the home and the family to a higher moral, Intel
lectual and social plane.
The El Paso Times will probably be greatly
improved, in its moral tone at least. The hy-
phenated Sydney Shaw-Eady announces the
end of hi9 connection with the paper, but
threatens to assume the managing editorship
of anew daily paper to be shortly published in
El Paso, under the name of the Twin Eagles.
The new issue will hardly adopt the cut of
Siftings of the American and Mexican eagles
as its device. Mr. Shaw-Eady says his object
is to give the people of this country a journal
which will reflect their true sentiments. The
way the Times has reflected in the past does
not reflect much credit on the moral tone of El
Paso, though it has been newsy and not with
out ability.

My letter to The News some weeks ago de-

come in person is that I am correct, aud in
nearly every instance they have purchased
lands and returned for their families, and be-
fore the year closes we expect to see our popu-
lation much increased. What I have written
about this section is a self-evident fact to any
one who will come aud see for himself. Be-
fore the war this country was one of the

Tom Ochiltree went abroad with the best
credentials ever carried by any person from
this country," said a prominent ex-Confederate
general. " He claimed to have an autograph
letter from President Arthur, addressed to all
United States ministers and consuls, askiug
their best offices for Tom, and telling them
that any attentions bestowed upou the red-
headed ranger of the prairies—though the pre-
sident called him the honorable, etc.—would be
regarded in the light of a special favor to him,
the president. That let+er was written by the
president himself, every word of it. Tom
wouldn't put up with any*document written b}'
a secretary. Then he had a similar letter from
General Grant—a letter commending the Hon.
Thomas P. Ochiltree as a special friend and
favorite of the ex-president. Oh, Tom was
well provided, I cau assure you." During his
absence Colonel Ochiltree has sent to his friends
ou this side copies of foreign papers containing
allusions to him as the distinguished American
visitor. In these journals he was usually de-
scribed as Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltree, the mem-
ber of the United States House of Representa-
tives from Texas, as if there was no other mem-
ber from that State.
A telegram has been received in England
from Dr. Schmidt, the British vice-consul at
Caili'a. Syria, respecting the present deplorable
condition of the Jewish refugee colony at Zim
mariu, in Palestine. The telegram says that
the colonists at Zimmarin are literally dying
of hunger; they are all ill, and for the last four
months nothiug has been sent them from.Ga-
latz. They implore assistance. An informant
of the London Times says that a similar tele-
gram reached him about three weeks ago from
the colony of Rosh Piuah, aud he proceeds to
poiut out the dangers which have threatened
the prosperity of both these colonies. These
are, he says, " in the case of Rosh Pinah. the
want of funds wherewith to develop their
resources; in the case of Zimmarin. that more
families had been sent there than the laud was
caoable of supporting; in addition to which, it
will be seen that the assistance thev had been
led to expect from the Central Roumanian
committee of Galatz is no longer forthcoming.
The whole question of the success of these
colonies depeuded ou their receiving judicious,
organized assistance at starting. L uless it is
soon forthcoming it will be too late."

POSTS—Relieving that we will supply a want long demanded, which has been frequently attempted
by manv manufacturers in an experimental way, but accomplished by none, as far as our experience
leads us to believe.
We find in many instances, where local protection is impracticable, that stockmen are continually
at war with the elements—fire and water—owing to their destructive propensities, which, however Inno
cent they may be in their struggle for natural precedence, often inflict serious damage to rancberos and
farmers, from the fact uf their fence posts not being constructed of material that will stand the on
slaught of such demoniacal ravages. These posts are applicable to any character of soil where an ordi-
nary support for similar purposes is required. The price puts them within reach of all contemplating
improvements of this character, whilst the constructive principle indorses them to be far superior in
every respect to the old wooden pegs now seen angle-ing at every roadside throughout the country.
