THE CITY.
octal.
A complimentary social was given last night
to Miss Ida Denta, of Belton, and Miss
Harris, of this city, at the residence of Mr. J.
F. Smith, corner of Twenty-fifth street and
Avenue I.
Bridge Washed Away.
From a passenger who cam« in last night
over the Santa Fe it is learned that the ^ni-
porary: bridge of the New York, Texas and
Mexican Railroad over the Colorado rivor it
Wharton was washed away yesterday. illls
is said to be tho third time th'- talse works at
this point have been destroyed by the freshets.
Was It Held f
A meeting of the stockholders of the Galves-
ton and Eagle Pass Air Line Railroad was ad-
vertised to have taken place at the company s
office in the city of Galveston on the Otu in-
stant. Whether the meeting was held or not
has yet to be definitely learned, as the com-
pany is not known to have a local habitation
in tnis city.
Dlexlcati Maii-of-War.
Yesterday afternoon tho Mexican man-of-
war Independeuoia put iuto this port in dis-
tress, with 200 soldiers on board. She lett
Vera Cruz a week ago for Mat :moro-, but on
account of rough weather could not offt ct
ber passage over tho bar at tho mouth of tho
river. then came on to this port fur
coal and supplies, and will, perhaps, remain
here several days.
The Question of Contest.
It was learned yesterday that there will be
no contest of the election in the Filth Ward,
but that the charge of illegal voting will be
Slaoed before the grand jury for investigation.
'rom the best information available, it seems
likely that information of the same character
will be furnished from other wards for the
benefit of that body. The Criminal Court, L-y
the way, convenes this morning.
Taken Home.
Mr. G. W. Madison, brother of J. L. Madi-
son, the unfortunate young man of whoso crazi-
ness mention has heretofore been made, left on
the steamship Guadalupe yosterday morning,
taking the latter with him. Young Madison
was very much excite I, and committed a
number of extravagances on the dock and on
shipboard. The same hallucination which
possessed him before his arrest attended hiui
during and aftor his transfer to the vessel.
The Colored Schools.
The large accessions made to the two col-
ored schools renders the establishment of a
third school necessary. Tho board of trustees,
{therefore, have ordered the superintendent
to open a new colored school on Bath Avenue,
between Broadway and Avenue I, to which
all pupils living between Fifteenth and
Twenty-fifth streets and on tlir se streets aro
assigned. Others desiring a transfer to that
school must see the superintend* nt, at his of-
fice, or may communicate with him by note.
This new school will be under the principai-
-hip of Mr. A. L. Campbell.
Tho Drummers' Lieensc.
Up to yesterday 39S drummers7 licenses wcra
issued by County Clerk Wren. The last num-
ber recorded was 2009, which is an indication
of the number of commercial men traveling in
Texas. The general supposition is that tho.-e
men spend upon an average $3 a day ea"h,
which amounts to a distribution of $10,345 a
day or $3,775,825 a year—granting, however,
that all of them are"not in the State at one
time, and that the calculation above made is
too heavy—divide by half and the amount,
spout by the fraternity will be cheaply placed
at $1,887,962 50. This is independent of tho
tax which is paid to the State, amounting,
when figured at $50 for each drummer, to
$103,450.
Death of an Old Citizen.
Mi*. E. S. Wood died of pneumonia, at his
residence, corner of Treraont street and Ave
nu3 L, yesterday morning, at a quarter r»st 2
o'clock, after au illness of but a few da vs.
His funeral took place at lmlf-nast 3 oco k

stated also tl jat it was his intention to invite
every militr *rv company in the State to be

pose of further considering the encampment

veston bar.]
Supreme Court.
Mary L. Montgomery, Guardian, vs.
James E. Carlton—From Colorado cjunty.
A parol gift of land will not be sus-
tained and enforced unless clearly proven,
and possession has been taken under
and valuable improvements made on
the faith of it. In this case, as there was no
offer to introduce evidence of valuable im-
provements, the court did not err in excluding
the evidence of possession under the all- god
gift. When they have no general guardian,
the failure of the Probate Court to appoint
guardian ad litem to represent the minor
distributees in a proceediug for partition of the
estate, is but an irregularity, which, though
it may render the iudgment voidable on a
direct proceeding, will not render it absolutely
void, so that it could be impeached on a mere
collateral attack. Where the plaintiff proves
prima facie paper title, and the evidence of
defendant fails to show title in him, it is not
error for the court to instruct the jury to
render a verdict for the plaintiff, it being the
duty of the court to charge the legal effect of
ritten instruments offered in evidenco. Af-
firmed. Bonner, J.
Commission of Appeals.
John G. Belletals., Guardians, vs. Sam-
uel Schwakz—From Austin county. Ex-
cept for the payment of community debts,
the surviving husband has no authority to con-
vey the interest in the community property
vested by law in the heirs of the deceased wife.
He can not convey .such interest for the support
and education of the minor heirs, his children,
except by the sanction and approval of the
Probate Court. And the fact that a small
portion of the proceeds of the laud conveyed
were applied for the benefit of the minor heirs
does not estop them, after tho fathers death,
from claiming of the purchaser the half of
the land descended to them from the mother.
Nor does the fact that tho father provided for
two of the children by a policy of insurance on
his life estop those two from claiming title to
the land. It is a general rule that infants and
married women are not estopped unless their
conduct has been intentional and fraudulent.
The judgment should bo reversed. Delany, J.
Opinion of commissioners adopted and judg-
ment reversed. Gould, C. J.
Case of Small-Pox.
Yesterday morning it was reported that Mr.
5. Strickland had been attacked by small p >x,
*nd the report spread with rapidity through
fill the business porti' >n of the city. Dr. Mu-
Clanahan, who is his family physician, re-
ported the case, as so^n as indications pre-
sented themselves, to the health authorities,
and Dr. Clark Campbell at once took
charge. He made several visits yester-
day before he would express a positive
opinion as to the nature of tho dis-
ease, but yesterday evening he pronounced
it a mild case of small-pox. The residence has
been flagged and quarantined, a guard bei::g
stationed at tho gate to prevent commymca-
tion with the outside. Skilled nurses have
been engaged, and every attention that could
be suggested provided for the patient. Mr.
Strickland returned from New Orleans on the
24th of last month, and was taken sick on Sat-
urday night Is st. It is thought that he must
have contracted the disease during his absonce
from the city.

A Military Encampment.
During the recent visit of tho volunteer
military of the State, to this city, the subject
of holding a State encampment was discussed
quite freely, and consultations were held with
several members of the legislature, who were
fiy>m the interior here, as also with Senator
Stubbs and the representatives from Galveston
county. No particular plan or msovemei.t was
inaugurated^ although the general expression
made was- most decidedly in favor
of the proposition. Mr. Laijatt, who
has just returned from Austin, informed
a News reporter last night that he had seen
Adjutant-General King's forthcoming report,
and tha'i it is pronounced in advocacy of an
- appropriation by tho State to defray the ex-
penses uf an encampment, and in favor of ad-
vancejl measures for thu encouragement".of the
the Car-Ticket Question.
[To The News.]
Tie general uso of car-tickets in this city,
heretofore an annoyance and loss to the trav
eling public, is at the present time a source of
absolute dauger. There can be no more effec-
tual means imagined for the transmission of
cutaneous diseases than the passing around
from hand to hand of a piece of pasteboard,
oftentimes w< t with the perspiration of the
last holder. Th«re is no necessity now for the
existence of such a currency, aud tho public
should at once refuse to permit iti furth<
circulation on sanitary considerations alone.

Sound Advice.
[Caldwell Register.]
Mr. Rose, tho master of the State Grange,
in an address to grangers here, a few days
since, gave some wholesome advice, which
other people would do well to profit by.
Speaking of the evils of the credit system, by
which so many farmers have been ruined, he
said: " Pay as you go, and if you can not pay
don't go." It may be said that such advice is
valueless to those who are without means to
pay cash fcr supplies, and are compelled
to ask for credit. But the trouble
i we are too extragant, and im-
giuo that our necessities are greater
than they really are. If people would only
determine to do so, they could live on very
much less than they have been accustomed to,
and with few exceptions they could get
through the year without incurring another
dollar of debt at the store. The plan of mort-
gaging the crops as soon as planted, and even
before, to buy goods at what are called credit
prices, and pay twelve per c»nt. interest, will
bring certain bankruptcy to those who follow
it. It can be demonstrated to a mathematical
certainty, that the best financier living
can not keep up successful farm-
ing, paying such enormous inter-
est for the privilege of credit. This whole
business of crop mortgaging is an unmitigated
curse to the country, and should not have the
sanction of law. It has already brought
many farmers into debt beyond their ability
ever to pay, and it is a most prolific breeder of
dishonest practices. Let our farmers take Mr.
Rose's advice; let them not go any faster than
they can pay. Arrange with tho merchants
to settle old scores by easy annual payments;
the merchant can well afford to be liberal
with old accounts if it guarantees cash trade
for the future. Then live economically, and
quit throwing away Saturdays and rainy
days. There are many ways hitherto neg-
lected by which an occasional cash dollar may
bo earned. Spend that dollar ouiy for actual
necessaries.
Reports are in circulation that Mrs. Mor-
ton, wife of the American minister to Franca,
is in delicate health, but in one of Mrs. Hoop-
er'.-, recent Paris letters she says that 'Mrs.
Morton is only paying the tribute to colds and
neuralgic headaches demanded by the peculiar-
ly damp climate of every person who comes to
Paris from the dry a' "^oiiere of the United
States.
Court of Appeals.
E. Eppstein vs. The State—From Gray-
son county. The information charges that on
October 1^ 1880, the defendant, in the county
of Grayson, " did then and there pursue the
occupation of a wholsale liquor dealer, and
did t :en and there sell spirituous liquors in
quantites of five gallons and more than that
amount without first obtaining. a license by
the pa3'inent of the State tax fixed by law
upon sail occupation." It is unnecessary to
quote authorities to show that under the laws
enforced before the passage of the common-
sense indictment bill, this information does
not sufficiently describe th* offense attempted
to be charged. This information was filed
before that act took effect. But even under
that act (acts of 1881, sec. 5, p. 60) it would
not be sufficient, in that it fails to name the
person to whom the spirits, etc., were sold.
Reversed and dismissed. Winkler, J.
Guinno Gaitan vs. The State—From
Cameron county. Appellant was convicted of
murder of the first degree and his punishment
assess 3d at death. It do«,js not follow because
the killing may be the result of the prompt and
ipeedy execution of a hasty or immediate re<-
iution that it may not hav«? been dono with
express malice. Th* law has no scales to
measure the time in which a sedate, delio jrate
mind may reach a formed designed to kill or to
do some serious bodily injury which may prob-
ably result in death. When such design is once
formed the haste with which it is put in exe-
cution in no way affects or modifies the charac-
ter of the act or the degree of guilt thereby
ncurred. It is always iucumbent on the State
to prove express malice in order to secure a
conviction of murder of the first degree, not-
withstanding the difficulty of so doing in homi-
cides without antecedent explanatory facts
showing their character. In such cases express
malice may be shown by proof of the cool,
aim and circumspect deportment and bearing
of the party when the act is done, and imme-
diately preceding and subsequent there-
to; his apparent freedom from passion
or excitement; tho instrument used as well as
the manner in which the murder is committed,
etc. Thus, while express malice must l>e
proved, it is not required that it should be
demonstrated to mathematical certainty by
the evidence; all that is required is that the
evidence be such as might be reasonably suf-
ficient to satisfy and convince the jurv of its
existence. The court did not err in refusing to
charge the jury that they might " take into
consideration the fact that the defendant was
intoxicated at the time of the commission of the
crime, in deciding the adequacy of the cause
of the passion which actuated, or whether the
cause of his passion was adequate in law to
educe the crime from murder in the second
degree to manslaughter." There can be no
anslaughtsr which is not predicated on ade-
quate cause. Whether the party committing
toe homicide was sober or intoxicated can not
affect the question of the existence or non-
existence of such adequate cause. Affirmed.
While, P. J.
Fernando Lopez vs. The State—From
Cameron county. Where a party confesses
under an agreement with the district attorney
that he will turn state's evidence against his
co-defendant, and shall not be prosecuted for
the offense, and he subsequently repudiates
this agreement and refuses to testify on the
trial of his co-defendant, and he is thereupon
indicted and placed upon his trial, his confes-

R versed. White, P, J.
Wash. Bluit vs. The State—From Lime-
stone county. Appellant was convicted of
l urglary. The State relied, among other
facts, upon certain tracks found in the yard of
the prosecutor, near the house from which the
b icon had been burglariously taken. Among
the tracks was one which made a peculiar im-
press on oa the ground. Over objection by
defendant, one Henry McDonald was allowed
to testify that he received from defendant a
pair of shoes, giving a description of them,
and that 44 the shoes would have made
such a track as Crockett Phillips de-
scribe! to me as having be n made
his yard." This evidence was not only
hearsay, bat was simply the opinion of the
witness upon a matter about which the opinion
of a witness can not be taken. The witness
should have described the shoes and left it to
the jury to compare tshem and the tracks and
draw tueir own conclusion. Defendant sought
to impeach a witness for the State. After the
impeaching witnesses had testified that his
repuation lor truth and veracity was bad,
they were asked this question: ''From that
reputation is he worthy of belief?" An objec-
tion to this question by tho State was sus-
tained by the court. This was error. The
defendant had a right to ask this question.
[9 Ct. App., 219.] Reversed. Hurt, J.
Wm. Scott vs. The State—From Dallas
county. Appellant was convicted of an
assault witn intent to rob. There was
evidence tending to show that Scott
was drunk at the time of the assault. Upon
this subject the court charged as follows:
"Voluntary drunkenness furnishes no excuse
or justification for crime. However, if you
find that the defendant did make the assault
as charged in the indictment, and if
you find that when he so made
said assault, he was so drank that he did not
know what he was doing, and was unable to
form the criminal intent necessary to commit
the crime charged, then you will acquit him.
But any amount of voluntary drunkenness,
which does not reach the status above indi-
cated, would not furnish any excuse or justi-
fication for the commission of it." There is
no error in this charge. Drunkenness can
onlv be looked to in passing upon the abilitv
to form the criminal intent. Affirmed. Hurt, J.
Thomas Green vs. The State—From
Limestone county. We are not prepared to
say that the court erred in admitting the evi-
dence of the witness Whatloy as to the con
( duct and action of defendant in going on an
out-of-the-way, un' ravelled road, instead of
along the public highway. The evidence in
the case was entirely circumstantial as to the
main facts, viz.: the theft of the property,
and in such cases the mind seeks and is per-
mitted to seek light and knowledge from any
source, however dim, calculated to throw
light upon the transaction. The fifty-sixth
rule for the government of the district courts,
which reads, ** exceptions to evidence admitted
over objections made to it on the trial may be
embraced in the statement of facts in connec-
tion with the evidence objected to, " does not
embrace excluded or evidence not permitted
to be introduced by the c »urt, and in such
case a separate bill of exceptions should show
the proposed evidence so that this court can
pass intelligently upon the ruling.

Knowledge About Teifi In a Far-OIF
Country,
ITo The NeWfc.1
Mussoorie, N. W. P., Infaia, January 18,
1882.—You are aware that some modern as-
tronomers are of opinion that while the hemi-
sphere of the moon visible to us is a region of
sterility, stagnation and death, its opposite
side may (for ought that can be proved to the
contrary) bo teeming with life, activity and
fruitfulness. Into this interesting and sug-
gestive question I will not at present enter,
further than just to remark in passing that
your surroundings in Texas and those of your
huniblo Perioeeian*, where this epistle is writ-
ten, present almost as striking a contrast as
do the two lunar scenes referred to.
The two cases are, happily for us, not quite
similar; for, although the volcanic eruptions
at one time were all but universal, the entire
crust of the country has not yet been blown
up like a great bubble, so as to
send us spinning off the surface.
Should the pent up high pressure and
alarmingly cumulative dynamic force
ever project any of us into Tex;is, I trust you
will give us as kind a welcome as you do other
strangers by less hyperbolic routes. But. se-
riously, the contrast between Upper India and
Texas is about as great, in many respects, as
can well bo imagined, and the future prospects
of the two countries seem to me to give pro-
mise cf a result almost as widely, different.
But here methinks one of your " cute" read-
ers wants to know what an Indo-Britishor"
can possibly know regarding Texas? Softly,
friend; I have before me copies of The Gal-
veston Daily News containing all the latest
statistical information published by that spirited
and enterprising journal. I have by me the
various publications of the Southwestern Im-
migration Company, including several speeches
of that marveiou-lv versatile genius among
you, the Hon. W. W. Lang. I have splendid
maps of your State and its co'itiguous sisters.
All these I have closely studie d with 110 small
degree of persevering assiduity, tenacious
grasp and assimilative power. Hence, I
guess I know a little about your Lone Star
State. Still I am but a humble learner, alto-
gether a stranger and a Bri'isher; and yet,
somehow or other, I feel a wo nderful interest
in you, a yearning sympathy with you, and
an earnest desire to se:*vo you. by pointing to
Texas as a home for industrious youths.
Where did I procure the al >ove pamphlets,
etc.? From J. N. Victor, Es- of New York,
together with a very court fous letter, dated
November 28, 1881. Sic: By t,lie way, allow
me to thank him through The News. Of
course, I will not insult yc&ir generosity by
asking you to send him a co py containing t'.r.s
letter.
Well, you will naturally say, after read'ng
all the mass of information supplied you re-
garding Texas, how does it strike a stranger
at a distance ? In the first place, I can not
avoid saying that what strikes me most about
these pamphlets is their plain, clear, sober
and evidently reliable statements, and the
lucid manner in which information is given.
I have not found half a dozen sentences re-
garding which 1 should feel it necessary to ask
for any further explanation. This, to some
persons, may sound like laiust praise, though
certainly not to those who have made litera-
ture their study. Then, again, 1 think tho
internal evidence of truthfulness and cf a de-
sire to avoid aii that would deceive, mis'ead,
or raise fallacious hopes, very strong in-
deed. I may also be allowed to add
that I like the moral sentiment, religious
spirit, the tone of refined culture,
and the evident desire to foster genuine piety,
which these pamphlets breathe—so far, I
mean, as sober statement and judicious treat-
ment seem to call for tho same in their proper
place. 1 think, moreover, that Texas and
Arkansas are fin% fields for active, industrious
European and Eurasian youths, domiciled in
India, and finding but scant employment here.
I wish I could induoa such to emigrate there
by the hundred. For my own part, if I were
u their position, 1 would go without a mo-
ment's hesitation. But they need trusty-
worthy advice and a helping hand. Yours is
a fiae country, and it has a still finor future
before it. With a steady flow of sober, indus-
trious immigrants, a noble scheme of educa-
ion, religious privileges, and the blessings of
God, you must prosper. Yours respectfully,
J. Parsons,
Principal Mussoorie and Lanclour Seminary.
P. S.—What a grand place Austin would be
for a first-class astronomical observatory, in
connection with its wealthy university. It
might render very important service to astro-
nomical science, from its very position. You
ought to have the fiuest set of instruments on
the American continent. Get them, O ye
noble, enterprising Texaus, by all means; and
favor me with a glimpse of them on my first
iait to Austin. J. p.

P. J.
William Davis vs. The State—From Fort
Bend county. Appellant was convicted for
wantonly killing a horse. The evidence show-
ed that the horse was " a bad fence-breaker,
and that his owner " had to take him up several
times on that account." That on the day be
fore the horse was killed defendant loaded his
gun and declared that if the horse came into
his field that "he would fix him." The horse
tlid not come in that evening. That
on the next day about 12 o'clock
he came in, and defendant drove him
out. He came in again about
the middle of the afternoon and was driven
out again by defendant; entering again about
sundown, defendant took his gun and went
out toward the horse, and the report of a gun
was heard. The horse was found dead from a
gunshot wound not far off a few days after.
We are of opinion that the above facts do not
support a verdict for wantonly killing the
horse. Reversed. Hurt, J.
A movement is on loot to establish a school

dramatic training, in all its branches, may be
obtained by those who wish to embrace the
stage as a profession. It is proposed to raise
*£.,000 or $30,000, which, it is supposed, will
suffice to carry on the institution for four
yta-s, by which time it is expected that it
will be self-supporting. The list of the com-
mittee includes plenty of eminent names,
anion" them Lord Lytton, Sir Coutts Lind-
say, the Hon. Lewis Wingfield, Mr. Henry
Irving, Mr. Carl Rosa, Mr. Alfred Tennyson,
the laureate, besides the Countess of Ducie,
Lady Theodore Martin and Mrs. Fanny Kem-
ble. Moreover, many talented members of
the profession have promised their cordial co-
operatic n in the undertaking.

Union Democrats in Kentucky.
|To The News.]
Houston, March 4, 1882.—The article in
The News of yesterday on the late conven-
tion of Union Democrats in Kentucky, seems
based on an entire misapprehension cf the
facts in the case. Those Union Democrets of
Kentucky did not meet in convention to re-
kindle the old fires of 1860-65, as The News
suggests. They met in convention to protest
against, and to take measures to battle
against, a state of affairs which is very exas-
perating to their feelings, and justly
so. In Kentucky, just after the war,
the 'ex-Confederates, being a cm art,
enterprising set of men, representing about
nine out of ten of all "the old families" of tho
State, with all their social influence, took firm
possession of the Democratic party and pro-
ceeded to fortify it for future use, as their own
eculiar property, " now and forever, amen."
hey secured all the houors and spoils of office,
and rigidly excluded all Democrats from a
taste or oven smell of these good things who
had not served in the Confederate armies or
were not of Confederate families. This
state of affairs made the exclude 1 Demo-
crats restive, and the movement to
which The News referred is simply their
earnest aud emphatic protest against such ill
usage. They are not likely to gain much by
their protest. The Confederate D m •crats
understand fully the value of their position of
advantage, and will never abaad >n their close
corporation tactics until they are beaten in a
square vote of the people. They will then
give ui> their close corporation as a
thing that will not pay. This con
dition exists not only in Kentucky, but
every Southern State. We know that
in Texas the Confederate qualification is rigid-
ly enforced, and that all who have not tuat
qualification are rigidly and remorselessly ex-
cluded from office, so far as the Democratic
party is concerned. Here and there a non-
Confederate may ba elected alderman of a Vil-
lage ward or constable of a precinct, just to
keep up appearances; but even these in-
stances of enlarged liberality are exceedingly
rare. The old rule is exceedingly exaotmg
and lemorseiess in its operation. It is
pitiless as tho wheels of the
Juggernaut. This seams to work very
well in the South, as it has made this section
solid," but it is disastrous to the Democratic
party in a national view. The party sweeps
the South with crushing majorities, but iails
miserably in every national contest. While
making the South solid, it has made the North
solid also, but the solidity up there is against
us. And so the party will continue to fail
miserably in every national contest until the
term 4i Democrat" in the South ceases to
mean nothing but " Confederate." When that
epoch is reached, we may expect Democratic
victories in national elections, but never until
then. In this view of the case, the position
taken by the Union Democrats of Kentucky is
a sign of hope. They should be heartily en-
couraged by every true national Democrat.
They certainly do not deserve to be 44 stran-
gled," as The News says they should be.

Secretary's Forster's Speech at Tulla-
more. t
[To the News.]
Galveston, March 8,1882.—Your editorjal
item in to-day's News, commenting on the
speech of Secretary Forster, at Tuilamore,
where he reproached the Irish for want of
courage aud submitting to intimidation, and
your praise of the gentleman for uttering bold
truths,attracts my uotice. How bold in Mr. Fors-
ter, with sixty thousand soldiers and twenty
thousand policemen at his back. But wherein
does the cowardice of the Irish consist? For
nearly two years the habeas corpus in Ireland
is suspended, and coercion and bayonet rule
established, yet the opposition to the British
government is stronger to-day. Or i; that ,
the cowardice meant by Mr. Forster in filling
loathsome prisons with men and women who
commit no act, whose only crime i3 being sus
pected,which, when interpreted, means loyalty
to the principles of Irish republican independ-
ence. Is this the cowardice that finds 600
men and 100 women, the flower of Irish intel-
lect, shut up to-day in foul dungeons by the
order of this Mr. Forster and his gov-
ernment, without a crime, without a
trial; or does the intimidation meant
by Mr. Forster refer to him throwing our pa-
triotic women into prison cells, for no other
prime than relieving their evicted neighbors,
computed at 20,000 this last year, that, were
thrown on the highroad to die by that Itainaue
government represented by Mr. Forster; or is it
the intimidation meant by the London Times,
when it says that coercion and bayonet rule in
Ireland are a failure, that the law of the land
league is virtually the silently recognized gov-
ernment to-day in Ireland? I am a Tullamore
man, and am proud that about four weeks ago
the people of Edinburg, five miles off, knocked
down bridges, felled trees, and erected breast-
works to oppose a brigade of soldiers and
poiice going to evict the neighbors. Is this
what Mr. Forster means by cowardice and in-
timidation? And this is the intimidation that the
millions of us exiles are proud of, and hope tho
day will come that by our strong arms wo will
bo victorious on our native plains, as histor3'
records us the victors on the battle-fields of
the world. " J qhn Friery.
What is a Wife's Cruelty f
I New York Herald.]
This interesting question has just been argued
before the master of the rolls aud a full bench
of venerable lords justices iu London. The
unanimous opinion at which these grave
judges arrived is that it is *4 cruelty " within
the meaning of English law for a wife to pull
her husband's whiskers and beard, to 44 rave"
at him and to commit the still greater crime
of throwing a glass of brandy and water
his face. It was a divoroe suit and, of couvse,
judgment was given for the aggrieved
and outraged plaintiff, on whoso face
so much good London braudy fcnd bad
London water had been wasted. The
decision is an important one. In it were im-
periled the great anestions whether an Eng-
lishman's home could be thus invaded by even
his wife, and whether his brandy-and-water,
than which Magna Charta and the Bill of
Rights are not more precious in his sight, could
be recklessly thrown away. Brandy and
water are two of the great bulwarks of the
British constitution, and it is consoling to
know that when they are attacked the master
of the rolls and the lords justices will always
deem it good ground for divorce.
ITIr. Curry on Education.
Washington, March 8.—Rev. J. L. M. Curry,
of Richmond, Va., general agent of the
Peabodv Educational fund, addressed the
Houso Committe on Education and Labor to-
dav, ou the question of national aid to public
schools, on the basis of illiteracy. He laid
down two postulates; 1. Teat the perpetuity
and prosperity of our free republican repre-
sentative] institu ions depe:)ds|upon the intelli
genie and integrity of citizens. 2. To becure
universal education, authority and aid are in-
dispensable. The duty to furnish education
hiefiyand primarily devolves on the States.The
North has bravely assumed and nobly per .'< rmed
this obligation. The South is acting heroicall y
in tho same direction, but from pecuniary in
ability and other causes is not furnishing ade
quato means of instruction to all educable
youths. National aid is imperative. Illiter-
acy as exhibited by the census of white citi-
zens, and more largely of black citizens, is
appalling. The means of self-preservation
should be upheld dv the government. Iguoraut
voters are an unsafe depository of a free gov
ernment, and uncertain guardians of national
honor and interests.
Without favoring any particular measure,
Mr. Curry said national aid should supplemout
and not supersede Stato systems of education.
It sin >uld be immediate and adequate. It
should be for free and rudimentary education.
A. J. Chambers, of New Haven, Conn., also
addressed the committee on the bill providing
for the appointment of a commission of col-
ored men to inquire into and report the mate-
rial, industrial and intellectual advancement
aud present status of the colored people of the
United Stages, and making appropriations for
the same.
Vengeful and Cruel Assassination.
Mount Vernon, Ky., March 8.—On Mon-
day nuht Mary Segnian, of Round Stone, and
her mother, Rhoda Segmau, were assassinattd
by an • unknown person. They lived abouc
seven miles from here. The assassin entered
the little cabin about midnight and shot first
at Mary, with instantly fatal result; then
went out and c 'nsulted with some one, and
presently returned and killed the old woman.
Mary's little children gave the alarm to the
neighbors w-hen the assassin was gone. There
were nine wounds on the body of Mary Seg
man—five, of which any one was fatal. The
assassin tired fifteen shots in all. There is no
doubt of his having had a confederate. James
Bishop, whose brother was killed a year ago at
this hotii>e, has bee.i arrested on suspicion.

Rockland, Me., March 8.—Rev. Edward H
Ellis, of Neponsett, .Mass., was arrested at
North Haven, Maine, last evening, on charge
of criminality with the wife of a resident of
Thomaston. Both parties belong to highly re-
spectable families. Ellis is a Baptist clergy-
man, and has been holding revival meetings

He was arrested iu the pulpit while addressing

The Tribune says the country owes a great
debt of gratitude to Mr. Sherman and Mr.
Blaine for having defeated General Grant at
Chicago. We insist on having the gratitude
passed around. Grant and Blaine must be
thanked for beating Sherman, and Grant and
Sherman must be thanked for beating Blaine,
and so on throughout. Everybody was
beaten at Chicago except Garfield and Arthur.
Let us all be grateful to the beaters, all of
whom were themselves beaten.
[New York Star.]
The whole system of parliamentary oaths
is a mockery. They aro taken without
solemnity and broken without scruple. When
Mr. Bt a 11augh refused to b.j sw irn " in tho
true faith of a Christian," he had, perhaps, as
much of Christian spirit in his heart as nine-
tenths of thoso who prided themselves on their
orthodoxy. If Jews, and Quakers, and Non-
conformists are permitted to make affirma-
tions, which they declare binding on their con-
science, why force Mr. Bradlaugh to do more
than make declaration in the form most bind-
ing on his ? The O'Connell case, in 1828,
should have settled this mart r forever. A
man's religion has in general nothing to do
with his legislation.
[Chicago Times.]
Since 1£60 the proportion of American im-
migration to the native-born population has
been steadily maintained at close upon 13 per
cent., but the divi-io.i of the nationalities seek-
ing homes in the United States has fluctuated
considerably. After the terrible famine in
Ireland in 1848, Irish emigration to America
was greatly stimulated, so much so that the
island furnished nearly half of the increase of
the population of the republic from without.
But there has been a decided diminution of the
Irish arrivals as compared with those f om
other countries. In 1850 the Irish constituted
43.5 per cent, of the foreign-l>orn population;
in 1860, 3S.9 per cent.; in 1870, 33.3 per cent.
The statistics of the census of 18S0 are not
complete in this regard, but from obtainable
data it is estimated that the proportion, so
high in 1850. has fallon to about 27 per cent,
of the whole. Germans and Scandinavians
are taking the ascendant. The Irish continue
to arrive in great numbers, but not as plenti-
fully as even the English, and not near so
numerously as the Germans.
Protection that Does Not Protect
[Savannah News.]
The two propositions that a protective tariff
does not protectTind that it acts as an export
duty on \ rotected manufactures are sust lined
by the facts disclosed by the trade reports of
the United States. We obtain from an ex-
change which has taken the trouble to collate
statistics on the subject, in the first place, the
value of the exports of the principal articles of
American production which are not protected
during the fiscal year of 1881, as follows:
Bread and breadstuff $270,332,519
729 miles of road. The completion
of this mileage will entitle the company
to a total of $5,400,000 in subsidies from the
Mexican government, payable in stipulated
amounts as the different sections are com-
pleted. Of this mileage 302 miles are com-
plete and in operation. The rails and rolling
stock are already provided for 720 miles. The
grading is completed for 550 miles, and ties
have been bought and delivered for 5S2 miles.
It is expected that the 729 miles wijl be com-
pleted and in op?ration before the end of the
year. The system for which concessions have
been granted covers 2062 miles. When the
T20 miles are complete there will remain a dis-
tauce of 475 miles to be covered in order to
connect the City of Mexico with the United
States.
MEXICAN ITEMS.
[From the Two Republics.]
The legislature of Zncatecas, on account of
the prevalence of small-pox, has decreed vac-
cination compulsory.
Coahuila claims 150,000 inhabitants and asks
the right to four representatives in Congress.
It is said that every steamer from tne United
States arriving at Vera Cruz brings four or
five parties desirous of manufacurting arti-
ficial ice for consumption at Vera Cruz.
Tcere have been no northers of any force at
Vera Cruz recently.
A Tampico paper, on hearing that 500 ne-
groes were expected to arrive at that placer-
seeches the general government to stop that
kind of immigration as it is a bad mixture.
The Evening Post of New York has a special
from Galveston, which says that there is a
reign of terror in Jalisco, and that el ction j
r ots have been numerous and bloody. Another j
paper remarks that Mexico is on the eve of a
great revolution. It is strange that we know
nothing about these things down here. North-
ern papers ought to be informed more cor-
rectly concerning Mexican matters.
Reports from the northern part of the re-
public show a large fall of rain. In some in-
stances whole totvns have been inundated and
some life lost.
Carnival night the plaza was crowded with
people, some of whom, in celebration of the
carnival season, were in mask. In trouble-
some times murders were frequently commit-
ted under cover of the carnival mask, which,
led to the authorities expressly forbidding tbe
carrying of concealed weapons, which law is
still in force. The crowd on the plaz& was
most orderly, and tho evening passed without
event. *
An explosion took place in a match factory
of Jalapa the other day, knocking the roof of
the building off and killing a workman near

The work of draining the valley of Mexico
appears to languish, the company being short
of money, it is said.
RA.ILROA.D NEWS.
Goliad Guard, March 4: In building its
line from Victoria to Goliad and Bee ville the
New York, Texas and Mexican Railway will
traverse a fine agricultural and stock-raising
country, almost every acre of which is sus-
ceptible of being utilized by the husbandman.
A more desirable country can not be found
for purposes of colonization. The country is
sufficiently elevated to be exempt from
malarial diseases, and undulating enough to ad-
mit of ample drainage. The cultivation of
cotton and the cereals are no longer an experi-
ment, but these crops vield abundantly when
properly cultivated. Ihe stock interest is. by
far, the most remunerative, and cattle-raising
can be carried on with great profit. Tribu-
tary to the road ai-e portions of De Witt,
Karnes, Bee and Live Oak counties, on the
north, which now give the great, volume of
their business to other railroad lines. Tbe e
counties possess fine farming lands. Refug o
atid San Patricio counties, on the south, wouid
also add to tbe business of the road in stock
and agricultural products.

We might extend this comparison indefin-
itely through the entire list of manufactures
which are "profceoted" by the tariff, showing
that tbe protection does not protect; that, de-
spite the htavy duties, we import an average
of ten dollars' worth of protected merchandise
to the one dollar's worth we sell to other coun-
tries. That, for instance, though the Ameri-
can people are taxed 60 per cent, on ail the
silk used in the United States for the bsnefit
of our silk mills, which get their silk free, they
do not sell a yard of it abroad, and still we
import far more than these mills produce.
The higher the duty, it seems that the less it
protects, but the severer is the prohibition
against exports.
Determination of the Character of
Doubtful Publications in tlio Interest
of th© Grocery Trade, Alleged to be
Second Class.
[From the Postal Bulletin, March 3.]
Postoffice Department, Office of First
Assistant Postmaster-General, Washington,
D. C., March 3, 1882 —Circular No. 11S9: It
having been alleged in a reputable publication
that organs of certain wholesale firms in the gro-
cery trade are, through perjury and false pre-
tenses, enjoying the benefit of the pound rate
for transportation in the mails, and as this
rate is one that imposes upon the public treasu-
ry a large proportion of the cost of trans-
portation and distribution of such printed
matter, and as such charges aro not properly
payable out of the public treasury for the pri-
vate interest of any business house, it is hereby
directed that aH postmasters at whose offices
publications are mailed, containing the price
list of wholesale or retail grocers, will require
from the publishers thereof a statement under
oath of the names of all persons interested in
the publication and ownership of said papers;
the connection, if any, existing in business
matters between said persons and any grocer;
the place of publication or office of the persons
interested in the publication, whether in or
connected with the premises of a grocer;
the number of actual paying subscribers
and their address ; whether these
names, or any of them, have been
either directly or indirectly obtained
from the grocers whose price-list is published;
whether any of the subscriptions are paid for
by the advertising grocer, and whether the
subscriptions are all paid at the full advertised
rates by the subscribers or by credit upon the
biils of goods purchased from advertisers; the
number of copies actually mailed each week
or month for the past quarter and until the
present time, giving the number sent to actual
subscribers who themselves pay the advertised
subscription price, and number sent upon ad
dresses furnished, and by whom furnished,
and the number sent to persons or firms not
included in the list of subscribers with whom
tho publisher has direct relations, as above de-
fiuea.
The publisher will also include in his state-
ment the actual cost of the entire weekly or
monthly edition of the publication, according-
ly as it may be either a weekly or monthly
publication, aud the actual receipts from sub-
scribers who p vy the money to the publishers
directly aud not through any grocer or bis
representatives. Upon this statement being
made it will be at once placed in the bands of
the nearest postoffice inspector, who is
requested to make a thorough and com-
plete investigation of the statement
and report the facts to the postmoster submit-
ting the statement, who will determine, upon
a full consideration, the right of the publ.ca-
tion to admission to pound rates. This de-
termination will be final as to the classification
of the publication, and will only be reviewed
upon a charge involving either the competency
or the integrity of the postmaster making the
decision.
This charge may be preferred by the pub-
lisher, or by any responsible person who de-
nies that the publication, if it is admitted, is
entitled to pound rates. Frank Hatton,
First Assistant Postmaster-General.

Winter U heat Crop.
The New York Commercial Bulletin insti-
tuted special inquiries as to the condition
of the winter wheat crop and the amount of
last year's wheat and corn crops still in the
hands of farmers in the principal wheat and
corn producing States, and in its issue of
March 3 publishes replies from 261 counties.
In an editorial in the same issue the Bulletin
says of the result obtained:
The most striking feature exhibited by these
reports is the high ratio of condition of
winter wheats reported from all tho States.
Very few counties report a falling off in this
particular; although in a few States com-
plaints are made of the Hessian fly, chiuch
bugs, and frost; and in several the only draw-
back feared is the possibility of frost' during
the present month. As to acreage, the States
of Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana show a
large increase over 1881, and Ohio, Illinois,
and Kansas have made a liberal gain in somo
counties, partly counterbalauced, however, by
a loss in others. The three remaining States,
Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin grow little
or no winter wheat, and returns from these
were merely obtained for tho purpose of as-
certaining the present stock of wheat and corn
held by growers.
After giving a summary of tho replies as to
acreage aud condition in each State, as shown
in tbe reports, tbe Bulletin says:
From this summary it will be seen that, on
the whole, there is an important increase in the
acreage of winter wheat over that of iast year;
and that the condition of that crop, during the
last half of February, was almost uuiversall3r
much above an average.
The result of our inquiries as to the percent-
age of the old crop of wheat and Indian corn
still remaining in farmers' hands shows that,
of wheat, the proportion left in Michigan and
Wisconsin is very small; in Kentucky, Indi-
ana and Minnesota it is moderate, and in Illi-
nois, Iowa aud Missouri, large. Of corn, a
larger percentage of the crop remains than
wheat, the States of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois
and Ohio having each over a third of the crop
left; the remaining States also showing a high
rutio. The average proportion of the wheat
crop in growers' hands, according to these
figures, is therefore 23.4 per ceut.; and of corn,
30.5 per cent. The following table, compiled
from the details given elsewhere, gives the

for local consumption for about five months, it
will be seen that the stocks are relatively very
light. Moreover, our statistical statement
does not exhibit a fact which comes out very
frequently in the reports of our correspondents
that, in many localities, stocks are entirely
exhausted and local consumption will have to
be provided for by purchases from other
sources. We infer from the general tenor of
our reports that the supplies both of wheat
and corn available for Eastward shipment
from this time until next August are likely to
prove very limited.
