Personal Politics,
A whole-souled partisan of Judge
Ireland sends us from Seeuin an incan-
descent sort of communication, in
tended to vindicate that gentleman
against his promiscuous critics of the
Texas press. It is morally impossible,
perhaps, for such a champion to use
the weapons of controversy with a dis-
cretion and skill equal to the zeal of
his friendship and the vehemence of
his attack. He certainly fails—and at
ithis we ».re not at all surprised—to ap-
jprecia^e the serene impartiality which
the 1<ews has observed, first, in rela-
tion to the Groos-Ireland land office
c®snplication, and next in relation to
the Coke Ireland senatorial complica-
tion. We here notice his utterly gra-
tuitous assumption that the News "is
unwilling that Judge Ireland shall be
honored when truth would invest his
name with all her beautiful garments,"
merely to submit a few seasonable
reflections on the intemperance,
violence and mischievous excesses
and perversities which invariably
attend the cultivation of personal poli-
tics. A natural result of this distem-
pered kind of politics is the distorted
vision which attribute? obliquity to the
News and charges it with the florid and
metaphorical offense of opposing Truth
in her wild efforts to clothe the name of
Judge Ireland with all her beautiful
habiliments. It is no fault of the News,
as its columns attest, if this task has not
been accomplished to the satisfaction of
the most exacting partisan of Judge Ire-
land. Without reluctance or hesitation
the most extensive publicity has been
given through these columns to facts,
statements and arguments emana'ing
from Judge Ireland himself or from
others who have taken up his quarrel
with some of the State authorities in
connection with a more celebrated than
reputable land office transaction,
or his quarrel with Coke, which
recently broke out afresh after
slumbering in a long suppressed pri-
vate correspondence relative to a covet-
ed seat in the United States Senate.
Thus, as far as the News is concerned.
Judge Ireland appears before the pub-
lic precisely in the position which has
been defined for him by himself or his
advocates. But of course this does not
satisfy his thick and-thin partisans.
Nothing can satisfy them but a parti-
sanship as implicit and absolute as their
own. We calmly but firmly protest
against the idea of applying such a rule
to the discussion of ihe acts and the ut-
terances, the associations, the compli-
cations and the aspirations of political
notabilities. We refuse to recognize
any n ime, however conspicuous and
honored, connected with the politics of
Texas -fir the politics of the Union, as
sacred from question and criti-
cism. Personal politics have been
the l>ane of Texas Democra-
cy.. They both confuse and
degrade by diverting thought from
great principles and important matters
of public policy, and surrendering the
field to cliques and factions and selfish
schemers. A few years ago such a
thing as a Democratic party in Texas,
standing on its own bottom, and hav-
ing a will, a soul and an aim of its
own, was hardly to be descried, much
less strictly defined, through clouds of
unreasoning adulation steaming up to
Coke and Ireland. According to the
personal politics of that day, Texas
Democracy was Coke, or it was Ire-
land, or it was the two in a lump, one
and inseparable. It is history now
that this state of things was reflected
in the weaknesses and shortcomings of
the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Le-
gislature, and in the crude and unsatis-
factory outcome of the constitutional
convention. But for the same state
of things such an unseemly imbroglio
as that between Coke and Ireland
over the Benatorship would not
bave ensued, and in all probability the
State would have been spared the scan-
dal of the land grab and of profound
incompetency and mismanagement, if
not corruption, in the State land office.
Fortunately there are signs that the era
of personal politics is giving place to a
healthier species of political activity,
in which a statesmanlike consideration
of pressing questions of public policy
will prevail over the impulses and in-
centives of mere personal prejudice,
personal partisanship, and personal
leadership.
It will be thought, perhaps, that Col.
Ilofcby has presumed overmuch on the
indulgence of public opinion in making
a triumphant parade of the failure of
the Assistant Attorney General to estab-
lish a case of technical forgery against
him before an examining court in Aus-
tin. He addresses a public familiar
with the ciicumsiances under which he
stands committed to answer the charge of
forgery in a graver case, where it does
not seem that any room will be offered
for such a plea as that which saved
him from a like commitment by an
Austin magistrate. He introduces some
new matter in connection with the dis
puted land certificates which will have
some interest for lawyers, if not for
readers in general; but it is very doubt
ful whether he has improved his posi
tion or his prospects by rushing into
print to criticise the official conduct and
disparage the professional acumen of
the Assistant Attorney General.

Dallas, Sept. 20, 1877.
Wills Point being besieged, the con-
dition of affairs was communicated to
Gov. Hubbard, who telegraphed
through Adjutant General Steele and
ordered the Lamar Rifles and Stonewall
Grays of this city to the scene of
trouble, with orders to prevent any
conflict between the two opposing par-
ties. The two companies assembled
with great promptness, boarded the
train, and after a three hours ride ar-
rived at Wilis Point, where they were
received by the authorities and about
eighty citizens of Wills Point under
arms.
The facts relative to the outbreak on
Monday show that at about 10 am Dr
Blunt reached Wills Point and informed
tbe authorities that & considerable force
of armed men from the southern por-
tion of the county were about four
miles from town and advancing, with
the avowed purpose of carrying back
the archives of the county to Caaton.
A committee of twelve, appointed on
S iturday by the citizens of Wills Point,
was sent to meet the advancing force,
who informed them that the authorities
were determined *o resist with arms any
attempt to carry out their purpose, and
were fully prepared to meet this attack
successfully.
A parley ensued, lasting till Sr. m ,
when the conference closed. The
Cautonites refused to accede to
any arrangement not based upon
the delivery of the records
and the resignation of Judge Rains.
Later the Cantonites advanced within
four hundred yards of the town limits,
deployed their lines and threw out
pickets. In the meantime the authori
ties had barricaded the thoroughfares
with dry goods boxes, cotton bales, etc.;
gathered arms and mustered an equip-
ped force of about 80 strong. This
bold front checked the advance, when
a portion of the original committee,
headed by Messrs A. Sullivan and W.
W. Gibson, acting for themselves in
the interest of peace, sought a parley,
and were met by a Rev. Mr. Castleberry
and Aaron Martin.
This parley eventuated in the follow-
ing agreement: That the Cantonites
and the authorities should each select
two learned lawyers and the four select
an umpire, to whom shouM be referred
a recount of the ballots, and upon the
decision of this committee favorable to
Canton, the records were to be deliver-
ed, and, if favorable to Wills Point,
the advancing party to return to their
homes; conditioned, however, that
Judge Rains should immediately re-
sign, and that within twelve hours.
The authorities would pledge them-
selves to abide by the terms of agree-
ment, the Cantonites in the meantime
towithdiaw and observe a truce until
the expiration of twelve hours
The Cantonites having withdrawn,
Messrs. Sullivan and Gibson returned to
the courthouse and submitted their pro-
position. Having acted without au-
thority from the officers of the law, the
committee's agreement was repudiated
on general principles by the citizens
and as being entirely outside of law by
the authorities. Thus matters stood
until Tuesday morning, when it became
generally known that the Adjutant.
General had ordered the Lamar Rfles
and Stonewall Greys to Wills Point to
prevent any at'empt at violence and
they were "expected by special train.
The Cantonites, disinclined to force
their purpose under this aspect of af-
fairs, retired in good order to Canton,
where they proposed to await the with-
drawal of the military.
About noon Col. Eblin and Major
Kirby, of Dallas, accompanied by two
citizens of Wills Point, started for
Canton, arriving there first. The citi-
zens were at first a little shy of the
colonel, who was ia full uniform,
thinking that his appearance in Canton
would lead to arrests by the troops.
Upon being assured to the contrary,
and that his visit was one of pacifica-
tion, the citizens were freer with him
in conversation.
They stated that they had been mis-
represented all through this affair, de-
nying that they went to Wills Point
with the intention of burning houses
or committing depredations on private
property, and announced that they
would not tamely submit to individual
arrests and prosecutions for their par
ticipation in the contest for the posses-
sion of the archives of the county,
which had been removed from Canton
to Wills Poiat through fraudulent
means.
After a thorough canvass of the situ-
ation with Col. Eblin and Major Kirby,
the citizens consented to call a meeting
at the courthouse that night to hear
what the visitors had to say. After
supper some 250 or 300 of the leading
citizens of Canton and surrounding
country assembled, and were addressed
by Col Eblin and Major Kirby in the
interests of law and order and a settle-
ment of the difficulty.
When these speeches were concluded
loud calls weie made for Mr. Towles, a
prominent citizen of Canton and mem-
ber of the Legislature from Yan Zandt,
who presented the case from the Can-
ton point of view with considerable
force, stating that the people of the
eastern portion of the county only want-
ed a recognition of their rights and
fair play in the settlement of the vexed
question. He advised his fellow-citi-
zens to let the law take its course and
await such other means as would bring
about an amicable settlement, and
trusted that in the interests of pacifica-
tion the Wills Point party would at-
tempt no prosecution of the Cantonites
for their connection with this affair of
Monday.
At the conclusion of this speech a
proposition, in substance stipulating
that no individual arrests or prosecu-
tion should be made for participation
in the Mondyy affair on the part of the
Wills Point party, and no attempts to
forcibly remove the records to Canton
on the part of the other party, was put
and unanimously carried, when the
meeting adjourned.
Early next morning Col. Eblin and
Major Kirby returned to Wills Point.
The result of their self-imposed mis-
sion was heartily concurred in by all
classes in the town, many of the leading
citizens voluntarily promising that so
far as their individual proceeding and
advice coald stay prosecutions without
bringing to bear improper influences
over the grand jury, it would be done
in the interest of pacification.
All apprehension of danger having
been thus dissipated by the presence of
the military, and the conciliatory
course of the officers, the Lamar Rifles
and Stonewall Greys boarded the home
bound train at 1 30 o'clock.

Dallas, Sept 20,1877.
The leading article in this morning's
Herald, referring to the late storm,
says five millions from Congress, to be
expended in making a sufficient chan-
nel over the bar and a wall, and a
State guarantee for bonds to a similar
figure, and Galveston could be put
above any future contingency arising
out of a combination of winds and
waves. It urges the matter upon our
representatives who go up to Washing-
ton in October, and trusts their best
energies and strongest influences will
be brought to bear on Congress in such
a way as to produce this result.

COURSE OF THE CYCLONE.
Now In the East Gulf States and
Powerless for mischief.
Washington, Sept. 20.—The signal
officer reports that the cyclone yester-
day in the East Gulf States remained
nearly stationary, but it is diminishing
in intensity with the barometer rising
at the center of the depression. High
winds and heavy rains have attended
the storm. The indications are not
threatening for to-day; however, cau-
tionary signals continue at Mobile. St
Marks, Jacksonville, Savannah, Key
West, Charleston, Wilmington and
Cane May.
The cyclone that since Sunday has
been so severe in the Gulf States has
moved to the eastward and is now cen-
tering in southern Georgia and north-
ern Florida. The barometer had risen
at the center of the depression and the
storm has diminished very much in se-
verity. It can no longer be considered
dangerous.

San Francisco, Sept. 20.—The Aus

from Samoa:
Directly after the German man-of
war Augusta left for Sidney, civil dis
sensions broke out.
Rebels appeared with arms in their
hands, and during last month intrench-
ed themselves around Pea in strong po-
sition. There they remained for some
time without striking a blow.
On the 12th a strong force of the
King's party marched up to the rebel
intrenchments, which they quietly sur
rounded. A parley was held between
the chiefs on either side. It was going
on when sudden fire was opened on the
insurgents, ®f whom fifty or a hundred
were killed. They resisted for some
hours.
In the morning the rebels surren
dered; the King took away their arms
and set them at liberty. Almost all the
dead bodies were "mutilated. The
heads were cut off and the victors bore
them about on sticks for some days
now and then performing war dances
around them.
Many white men went to see the
fight. Steinberger's party is now the
dominant faction.

moled.
Chattanoooa, Sept. 20 —En route
the President and Mrs. Hayes occupied
the rear platform, admired the scenery,
and seemed equally interested in bat-
tle fields, whether the Yankees had the
better or worse. At Chattanooga, on
Market street, a large monogrammic
arch, consisting of the letters R. B. H.,
ha4 been erected, from the center of
which a large floral key was suspended.
After an address of welcome and
elaborate speeches by the President and
Secretary of State, Secretary Key said:
jddge key at home.
My friends—I am quite hoarse to-
day. Could not make a speech if I
wanted to. Am sure you wouldn't
want me to make one if I could, for
you have heard me here, and every-
where on all sorts of questions. There's
one thing I can say to you to-day: I
can say to the people of the United
States that when the President did me
the very distinguished honor to place
me in his cabinet, the colored people
of Chattanooga were not afraid of that
act. They knew I was their friend.
They did not suppose that a Democrat
could hurt them very much, I am sure.
(Applause ) It may be that white peo-
ple were more afraid of me. I don't
know how that was.
Am glad to say before you that all I
am I owe to Chattanooga, to the people
of East Tennessee. They have been
my friends, and while I am not un-
mindful of the great honor the Presi-
dent did me in appointing me; while I
am proud of the administration to
which 1 have, in my feeble way, given
my earnest support, I remember with
still more pride and gratitude the fact
that when in your Legislature I was a
candidate for the Senate of the United
States every man in East Tennessee,
white and black, Democrat and Repub-
lican, Union and Confederate, was tor
my election.
Now, my friends, to a crowd like
this what can I say? If I wa3 to talk
too much I might say something that
somebody would not like, and 1 like
you all. There is no people on earth I
love as well as I do the people of Chat-
tanooga. (Applause.)
(Judge Key leadiug forward Mrs.
Hayes): Here is the best speech I think
has been made. They abuse all the
members of the administration, but no-
body abuses her (Mrs. Hayes).
Mrs. Hayes was greeted with loud
and continued applause.
gov. wade hampton
being introduced, said: I scarcely feel
that I am authorized to detain you one
moment, when those of you out there
are standing in rain; but I will at least
have the comfort of knowing that if I
do so, that my speech will not be a dry
one. My friends, having met the Pre-
sident of the United States when he first
came upon Southern soil, the authorities
of Louisville did the honor to invite
me to meet him, and that gentleman
himself added to that honor by the ex-
press wish that I should come. I went
there, expecting to remain only a few
hours to greet him on Southern soil as
Southern man, and I recognize in him
man higher than a party man [ap-
plause]; a man who had forgotten
party as he rose to be a patriot.
And it has been my additional fortune
to accompany him as he journeys south-
ward, and I think we may say to-day
he has struck "solid South." He is
here in Chattanooga, standing upon
your battle-scarred plains, seeing every
hillside crowded with evidences of war,
remembering that your soil has been
stained by the precious blood poured
out by brave men who were, fighting
for their convictions on each side. I
am glad to come with him and see the
motto that you have written there of
peace and harmony once more restored
in our beloved country.
My friends, in the few remarks I
have had the honor of making, as I
have been in this triumphal procession
of the President, I have sedulously
avoided any allusion to politics; have
tried to subordinate them entirely to
the feeling of patriotism, and I urge
upon you now, men of the South, as
far as possible, to forget past differences
between our people; to devote your-
selves to developing and opening up
the best resources of the country.
It was my misfortune perhaps to dif-
fer in politics from the President of
the United States, but, Democrat as I
am, Democrat as I have been, there is
no man in America, whom I more cheer-
fully, cordinlly and willingly do honor
to than the Republican President of the
United States. I do that, my friends,
because he is showing that he is Presi-
dent of the whole United States. I
do that because he in the very
first act of his administratson
lifted that great pressure which was
upon the neck of my own people.
Many of them said he did but his duty;
many of them had never smelled pow-
der. Show me the man who wnl do
his duty without fear, without favor,
and who will do more than his duty,
and I will clasp hands with him and
stand upon the same platform. (Ap-
plause.)
He has brought back peace to our
people. He has shown that the men
who fought each other can meet in
peace and fraternity without any loss
of respect. We could not do it when
the State was pinned down by bayonets,
and my right arm should have dropped
from my shoulder before I would have
given my hand in peace while my State
was pinned down by bayonets—[ap-
plause]—when we felt that every Stjte
was the equal of every other; that
every man in every State was equal,
white and black.
When the great Republican party,
dominant party, and the representative
men whom we fought came forward
and said, "we respect you as men who
fought for your convictions, as men
who fought bravely;" when they came
forward and said that to us of the South
and extended the hand of peace and
said, " we were only fighting to restore
the Union; come bacK in the household
of States, come back to the hearthstone
of your fathers," I felt that better things
would be accomplished. I felt as~a
Southern man, as a Southern soldier—
as a rebel, if you choose—that I could
come back. I told the men in Illinois
that I fought them as long and as hard
as I could, and I would have been
fighting them now if I had been order-
ed to do so. They honored and respect
ed me for it, and that is the way for us
to meet; as brave men should meet, for-
getting the past, at least drawing a cur-
tain over it; looking not at the bloody
past, which is full of sorrow for us, but
looking forward to a brighter, higher
future, when all of us can march on
bravely, honestly and truthfully, each
one doing his duty to the whole coun
try, and leaving the consequences to
God. (Long and continued applause )

BURNING OF STEAMBOATS.
Two
Large Packets Destroyed
St. Louis.
at
St. Louis, Sept. 20.—The steamer
Grand Republic burned to the water's
edge and sunk. It is doubtful whether
her machinery will be of any value.
Owned by Capt. Thorwegan; valued at
$150,000; insured for $50,000 in about
twenty five offices. The Carondelet is
probably a total loss—owned by Capt.
Hickg and three associates; valued at
$40,000; insured for $17,000.
Ci^craHATi, -Sept. 20. —Dispatches
state that the loss by the burning of
steamers at St. Louis is $300,000. The
steamer Grand Republic was insured
for $20,000 in the Home, Carroll and
Poweli agency.
MiRINE AND SHIPPING.
New Orleans, September 20.—The
schooner Giusseppe was struck by a
squali on August 28, long. 85 deg. 36
mia. west, |lat. 18 deg. 15 rain. |north,
and sprung a leak and filled rapidly.
The captain and three men were picked
up by the schooner Maud Barbour,
Two of the crew were drowned.
Charleston, Sept. 30. — Cleared:
Schooner Jacob M. Haskell, Weymouth.
Washington, Sept. 20.—The United
States Consul at Cadiz informs the
State Department that United States
vessels have lately been required to
quarantine from three to seven days
on account of their former voyage
having been from ports of Cuba or Gulf
of Mexico, causing delay and expense,
which the consul suggests can be
averted, if captains of vessels will ap
ply to the Spanish Consul for certifi-
cates stating that the vessel on her de
parture from Cuba or the Gulf of
Mexico underwent the formalities of
quarantine.
Comments «f the London 'Times"
on Hayes's Tour.
London, Sept. 20.—The Times, edi-
torially commenting on Hayes's tour,
says: In a little more than half a year
he has succeeded in beating down a
compact mass of prejudice, in allaying
a host of conflicting passions. The vis-
ible triumphs of his policy are now be-
ing assured. He has this week begun a
; ourney through several Southern
States, which is intended to
show that the work of pacifica-
tion, though it be far from completion,
the Federal government has no in
tention of interfering in the local ad-
ministration of Southern States; the
Southern States have no desire to dis-
turb the great achievements of the civil
war, which have been embodied in the
constitution and amendments. The re-
moval of objects of contention makes
it easy to re-establish friendly relations
between the people who respect each
other and sympathize. The meeting of
the President and Hampton is an omen
of the coming time when the North and
South will no longer be separated by
the lines of division which the civil war
made.
Bank
Another Chicago Savings
Gone Up.
Chicago, Sept. 20.—Judge Williams
has granted a petition file.d by a number
of depositors in the Farmers', Mer
chants' and Mechanics' Savings Bank
and appointed as receiver S. D. Ward
whose bond was fixed at $350,000
There was little excitement on account
of the failure, as it is believed that it
will not prove disastrous to depositors
or the public.
Grand Lodge 17. S., I. O. O. F.
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 20.—The
Grand Lodge took up as special order
the amendment to change the name
the Grand Lodge fromOiand Lodge of
the United States to Supreme Lodge I O.
O. F. The yeas and nayes were called
and the amendment was lost.
By vote as required by the constitu
tion, it was considered inexpedient and
impracticable on account of laws of the
Spanish government in relation to se-
cret societies to take any step toward
granting a charter for a lodge at Hava
na, Cuba.
The Triple Alliance.
Salzburg, Sept. 20. —Count An-
drassy left for Vienna after meeting
Prince Bismarck here, with whom he
had an interview. The interview, it
is believed, related to a strengthening
of the understanding previously arrived
at by the Emperors, rather than to
arrangement of any new differences
between Austria and Germany.
The National Game.
Cincinnati, Sept. 20.—Cincinnatis 5,
Louisvilles 0.
Boston, Sept. 20.—Bostons 7, Chi-
cagos 3.
Mr Hogan and M. L. McDonald, of
San Francisco; Mr. Farley, of Amador,
and Mr. Ryland, of Santa Clara, are all
spoken of as prominent candidates for
the United States Senate from Califor
nia. Of course they are all good Demo-
crats.
to see a full and final expose of all the
facts in regard to the "Coke-Ireland
correspondence " and the "land grab "
aff-iir. What we have read as edito-
rials, extracts and communications in
its columns on those questions has per-
manently impressed us with several hu-
miliating facts: First—that some of
the editors of the journals in our State
are dull of perception, or are possessed
of a venal taste, preferring victorious
fraud to defeated merit. Second, that
Hon. John Ireland, the subject of so
much public criticism, having passed
the heated crucible, stands before the
people of Texas unharmed—an inno-
cent and an honorable man, while his
wily opponent is justly attired with a
robe of disgrace. Third—That the
Houston Age and the Galveston News
are, for some cause, inimical to the po-
litical popularity of Judge Ireland. It
is truly mortifying to one's State pride,
as well as painful to a sense of moral
right, "to see so many of the newspapers
of our great State approvihg and sus-
taining the guilty to the detriment of
the innocent. The Age speaks dispar-
agingly of Judge Ireland because, for-
sooth, he ventured to unveil the hidden
ugliness of one Texas delights to honor.
Ah! shame on us if we love to honor
vile duplicity and base treachery! The
virtuous intelligence of the State has
waited patiently to see all the facts of
this unpleasant matter unearthed that
it might render an impartial judgment
in the case, censuring the guilty and
acquitting the innocent parties. But,
alas! it is pained to see such a large
part of the State press hastily making
an ass of itself by casting its laurels at
the shrine of successful intrigue. The
News, the most extensively circulated
paper in the State, frankly owns up the
dishonorable character of Senator Coke's
conduct in the premises, but hastens
to dab a slight stain on the high-toned
conduct of Judge Ireland by asserting
that his excessive ambition obscured his
cautionary and penetrative faculties,
rendering him an easy prey to the art-
ful schemes of iiis adversary; clearly
evincing that the News is unwilling
that Judge Ireland shall be honored
when truth would invest his name with
all her beautiful garments. It was the
trust John Ireland ever felt in the sin-
cerity and honor of Gov. Coke that
hindered his seeing the occult schem-
ing of his well tried friend. Amasa was
deceived by the hidden hate of Joab
when Joab took him by the beard of
his chin and kissed him, saying, " Art
thou in health, my brother?" at the
same moment thrusting his sword into
his side, and he died. The All-wise,
the innocent 8aviour was betrayed by
the hypocritical salute of a Judas. The
News usually handles a sharp razor,
and a slight pressure makes a deep in
cision, when it would seem to intend
no more than a slight wound; and
while the life blood is oozing from its
cuts, it dips its quill in the crimson
fluid and blots the robe of the sufferer.
That is as cruel as the grave! If the
News were in political affinity with
Judge Ireland, with a tithe of its ordi-
nary penetration it might sea a number
of good reasons for commending, in-
stead of blaming, him for his non-dis
closure of all those disgraceful facts
till after the meeting of the Legisla
ture. Indeed, enough was made known
to reveal the fact that Coke had de-
ceived and disappointed Judge Ireland
—enough to have induced any true
hearted statesman to have withheld his
vote when Coke's name was before him
for a seat in the Senate of the United
States; but, no, he must represent
Texas in the Senate chamber of the na-
tion, with the black stain of perfidy on
his robes. As we have important mat
ters to be settled in the next
six years, and the man that can
without blush betray his friend can be
easily bought to our plans with our
money, that seemed to be the*manner
in which it was done. But, O Shame!
let a blush redden thy cheek! The
News is unfriendly to Judge Ireland's
political promotion, and it must dig up
something to allege against him; that
something turns out to be a simple ac-
cusation that Judge Ireland was untrue
to himself and the people of Texas in
not raising the "huo and cry "before
the election of Coke; intimating that it
would have defeated his election, but
the facts lie against any such conclu-
sions. Coke's election was a premedi-
tated thing—a foregone conclusion.
The News is usually clear-sighted, but
when it looks at Judge Ireland's claims
to political preferment its optics are
suddenly attacked with darkened ab-
lepsy, and it only " sees men as trees
walking." Just now it needs to rub up
its glasses. If its eye were unjaun-
diced it would see reasons to commend
instead of blame the Judge's prudent
silence. The News well knows that
had Judge Ireland made the disclosure
it speaks of it would have been said
that it was hatched up to defeat Coke's
election, prompted by motives of self
aggrandizement on the part of Judge
Ireland. All the arts of cunning dema
gogues and the potency of moneyed
rings and railroad parasites were em-
ployed to defeat Ireland and elect Coke,
who, it was thought, could be more
easily bought to favor their self-enrich-
ing and State-defrauding schemes for
the n«xt six years to come. When
John Ireland saw the amazing perfidy
of his friend and the deep polluted col-
orings of the political pool, he deemed
it prudent to quietly retire into the
silence of private life till the day of
needed revelation.
if the News will dust its spectacles
and look steadily it can but see the con
nection between the " Coke-Ireland'
affair and the late "land-grab" question.
In the first instance the plan was to keep
Judge Ireland from the United States
Senate and the governorship of Texas,
by the election of Coke to the one and
Hubbard to the other; the plan was
ripened into success; and now no op-
portunity to bring Judge Ireland into
disfavor with the dear people must
pass unimproved; hence the "land
grab" case was hastily seized as an occa
sion to complete his political downfall.
Hon. John Ireland readily discovered
the reappearance, on the field of slan-
derous reproach—that self-same spirit of
enmity to him that so artfully manipu-
lated his defeat—with Coke and Hub-
bard striving to expand a " mole hill"
into a huge mountain, and to launch it
upon him to sink him into a grave of
disgrace, without the hope of a resur-
rection ; then duty to Belf, family and
country demanded of him to unveil the
ugly scene to the gaze of the world;
here is the uniting link in this chain of
unpleasant things. It is the pursuit
and appearance of a deceitful enemy
seeking a renewal of hostilities on a
mere pretext—a nothing— censuring a
law-maker, a practical lawyer, a judge,
for giving a naked legal opinion, ac-
cording to the strict forms of law, the
correctness of which no one ventures
to deny. That is all there is in that
awful storm in the mountains. Had
worldly view of the harassing affair
the wonder is that the exasperated
Judge didn't display more temper and
employ the bitterest of epithets, when
such repeated, uncalled for attacks
were being made on his well earned
fame as an honorable man, by those
who ought to have vindicated him, his
record being "known and read of all
men." We are no apologist for "im-
proprieties," "vicioustempers"or ugly
words in any one, much less with the
leaders and rulers of a great people.
The public guides of mankind should
be suitable exemplars in all things, in
temper, ta3te, words and actions. Yet
there are certain amounts of pressure a
feeble mortal can not endure without a
cry of remonstrance. The heartless
temple defilers aroused an angry look
in the face of the gentle Saviour when
he drove them out of his " father's
house," saying they had made it "a den
of thieves." Here are a horde of edi-
tors who favored the giving of millions
of acres of the public domain of Texas
to enrich railroad monopolies, which
would extort from the people high
rates for freights and travel after their
lands had built these roads, but now
when it was noised about that a few
land certificates had been issued for ten
miles of imperfect dredging in a little
river, these same liberal land donators
cry out "great fraud," and instantly
seek to criminally implicate Judge Ire-
land for giving a legal opinion
in regard to the saire. Consisten-
cy is often wanting in human conduct.
But, after all, the honesty, the honor,
the innocence of Judge Ireland stand
out of the stormy seas as " Cylla and
Charybdis," unharmed by all the dash
of the waves. Then why does the
News linger on the old beaten path
and yelp about "taste and tempers?"
Why not render honor to whom it is
due? Does the News, the leader in the
van of the army of journalists in the
great State of Texas, prefer a man of
probity, truth and justice to stand in
the front of Texan politics to all the
pusillanimous tricksters that seek posi-
tions of place and power at her hands ?
Does its intelligent editor desire to pro-
mote honesty and depreciate fraud on
our political stage? If the answer is
returned in the affirmative, then why
acknowledge Judge Ireland's intrinsic
merit and still quibble about trifles to
obstruct his path to political prefer-
ment? Hon. John Ireland's political
life is part of public history and needs
no comment in this article, but his pri-
vate life as a citizen of Begum and of
Guadalupe county is such as to awake
a spirit of pride when his name is men-
tioned in connection with any public
trust, because of the implicit confidence
entertained of his ability and honesty.
A man is best judged by those who
know him best—by home associates. It
is a good passport for a man to come
well recommended from home. It is a
•prophet that is unhonored at home
—a man's extraordinary character
our fellows can not estimate—famili-
arity levels the extraordinary with the
ordinary gifts of men, but our true
moral and intellectual worth is best
judged by those who are our daily as-
sociates. The writer has known Judge
Ireland a number of years; for two
years he sustained the relation of pastor
to a part of his family, and a sense cf
duty will not allow him to remain si-
lent, when his political enemies, with-
out adequate cause, seek to drive him
from the sphere of State and National
politics, when true men of undoubted
worth are so much needed to miantain
the honor and dignity of American
statesmanship. The News, doubtless,
misjudged his character when it at-
tributed to him a spirit of egotistic
vanity at the Galveston Convention—a
spirit totally estranged from John Ire-
land. Egotism and vanity form no
part of his mental make-up. He is a
man of great firmness of purpose, com-
bined with a gentle and tender sympa-
thy for the unfortunate, and he is as
generous "as the days are long" in
summer time; ever ready to contribute
to the public good. Seguin bears many
marks of his helpful generosity.

The Late Homicide.
Liberty, Sept. 19, 1877.
Eds. News—Having seen a telegram
in the News in regard to the killing of
Thomas Copeland in Liberty county on
the 4th instant, which did an uninten-
tional injustice to A. B. Lawrence,who
is charged with the homicide, permit
me to give you a few facts as shown by
the testimony of the State's witnesses.
Lawrence is an old and feeble man;
Copeland was young and athletic. Law-
rence had sued out a writ of attachment
against Copeland's crop, and was on
his way to see the constable, to give
him an indemnity bond for the seizure
of the crop, when they met on the road.
The tracks of their horses show that
they rode up close to each other—with-
in a few feet. The wound from which
Copeland died was in the breast, about
the heart, the shot penetrating the body
to the spine, and one passed through at
a point much lower than where the shot
entered, showing that the man who did
the shooting was on his horse, and that
Copeland was on the ground and facing
him. There were nine shot in the load
which killed him, and all of them en
tered together, making but one hole
about an inch in diameter, and carry-
ing the gun wadding almost through
the body, showing conclusively that
the parties were within a few feet of
each other and face to face. Thus it is
impossible for Copeland to have been
waylaid. The case i» being thoroughly
investigated before Judge H. C. Pedigo,
under a writ of habeas corpus. The
State is well represented by her able
District Attorney, Walter Wingate, by
Wharton Branch, Esq., of Galveston,
and J. G. Mmter, Esq., of Liberty.
Lawrence is represented by W. B. Den-
son, Esq., of Galveston, by Col. E. B
Pickett and W. A. Douglass, Esq., of
Liberty. Justice.
Formal complaint has been made to
the President that Senator Blaine made
assessments against Federal officials in
Maine for campaign purposes, during
the late State election. The collector
of the port of Portland was mulcted in
one thousand, and the postmaster at
the same place in five hundred dollars.
The country will await the action of
the administration in these premises,
with considerable anxiety.
The Nashville (Tenn.) cotton market I
received its first bale of this year's
growth on September 13. It was sold
at auction for 50 cents per pound
after quite a list of premiums to the |
buyer, contributed by various mer-
chants as an inducement for an extra |
price, had been announced.
