A DISTINGUISHED MASON.
Albert Gallatin Mackey, M. D., whose death
was yesterday announced §.t Portress Monroe,
was born at Charleston, 8. Q., March 13, 1807.
A.H.BELO & CO., Proprietors J As an American Free Mason and Masonic
writer he had a world-wide celebrity. He was
the author of an " Encyclopaedia of Free-
masonry," which is a most remarkable work,and
one for which the Masonic world is greatly in-
debted to him. He was also the author of several
other valuable works, among which may be
mentioned, " A Manual of the Lodge," " The
Book of the Chapter," " Manual of the Coun-
cil," "Text Book of Masonic Juris-
prudence," " Mackey's Masonic Ritual-
ist," " Symbolism of Freemasonry," etc.
Dr. Mackey had for many years held high offi-
cial positions in the various Masonic organiea-
tions of this country, but was particularly
active in behalf of .the Ancient Accepted
Scottish Bite, having attained the thirty-third
degree, and was elected in 1844 Grand Secre-
tary-General of the Supreme Council for the
Southern jurisdiction of the United States,
which position he held until his demise. He
had for many years been a regular contributor
to the craft periodical literature of the day,
and was until recently co-editor of the Voice
of Masonry, which ohair he was obliged to
resign in consequence of ill-health.
He was regarded throughout the world as an
authority upon all mooted questions of Ma-
sonic jurisprudence and history, and was a
scholar and man of letters in every sense of
the word. The Masonic fraternity have suf-
fered a great loss by his decease, and a vacant
place is left in the field of Masonic philosophy
and literature which it will be no easy matter
to fill. He had made Masonry a study and
devoted his life to the elucidation of its teach-
ings and history.

A METROPOLITAN TERMINUS.
The News lias already observed that con-
siderations of State pride and commercial inter-
est unite in calling for at least one deep-water
outlet for Texas in Texas, and that the drift
of events concur with circumstances of
geography and hydrography in pointing to
Galveston harbor as such an outlet. All forms
and varieties of business concerned in railroad
transportation instinctively seek some metro-
politan terminus. Trade in transit instinctively
abhors stoppages and deviations. It instinc-
tively recognizes the greatest economy in the
utmost concentration of co-operative agencies.
It is not commercial sagacity for any interior
community in Texas to entertain jealousy of
Galveston. The rapid and tremendous growth of
New York has rather helped than retarded the
growth of neighboring cities, notably Phila-
delphia. It is a clear presumption of reason
that if there existed on the Texas coast a
point better adapted for a metropolitan ter-
minus than Galveston, that point would have
been utilized. Besting in a presumption so de-
cidedly in favor of Galveston, it is reasonable
and pertinent to say that the more roads there
are leading to Galveston the better for the
city, the better for the State, the better for the
whole interior interested in easy access to the
Gulf and in abundant seaport facilities. It is
true that other ports on the Texas coast are
•within abstract possibility, and that Texas, at
enormous expense, extended over an indefinite
period of time, might convert them into
concrete realities. But present- economy de-
mands present concentration of thought and of
effort. Texas is developing more rapidly than
any other State or section in the Union, and
commensurate with this development should
be the building up, the organization and thor-
ough equipment of a metropolitan terminus on
the Texas coast. Yet what is the fact with
regard to the extraordinary rush of railroad
enterprise in Texas at this moment? The great
majority of those who are contributing capital
and skill to this enterprise do not think of Gal-
veston, do not think of terminal arrangements
of an established or metropolitan chttracter
anywhere on the Texas coast. They think
of New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincin-
nati, New Orleans, Norfolk, of any
terminus but Ga lveston or a place on the Texas
coast. They all want the benefit of long
hauls on through and unbroken lines be-
tween distant points. If there were ten such
lines running from the Pacific to the Missis-
sippi it would help Galveston but little. Goods
would seldom ba si>nt to Galveston for ship-
ment over such roads. But if Galveston were
the terminus of an independent through road
connecting the Gulf and the Pacific:, the case
would be exactly reversed. Suppose, for in-
stance, that the Mexican National Narrow-
Gauge, established.at Galveston harbor, on this
side of the Rio Grande, is n erring the Pacific
on the other, with lateral branches, right and
left, to every important city and to
every promising field of production. As it is
being pushed forward Galveston will feel the
advantage of every hundred miles, and by the
time it reaches the Pacific there will be one
hundred vessels discharging and receiving car-
goes at this port to one which is doing so to-
day. It is claimed as all the better for Gal-
veston that it is the narrow gauge, and not the
regulation or standard gauge, that is now
bridging the Rio Grande and looking toward
Galveston as a Gulf outlet. If the road were
the common gauge, it is argued, as soon as a
carload of passengers or goods struck the
Rio Grande half a dozen competing lines
would be after them to carry them
off as far as possible to the
North or the East. It is certainly more diffi
cult for broad-gauge traffic to deflect ti*ade
from a narrow-gauge than from a bi"bad-gaugo
line. In the time required for transshipping
the freight of a car it could be spinning off a
hundred miles on its way. Shippers, other
things equal, always prefer a line where no
transshipment takes place except that which
is inevitable in the change from land to water
transportation. Apart from these claims for
the narrow gauge in this instance, it is safe to
say that the permanent connection of Galves-
ton with the Pacific through Mexico by
a continuous line of railroad would jus-
tify the immediate expenditure of millions
of dollars on the harbor, and would soon fur-
nish a trade to reimburse a hundredfold the
expenditure. Hardly less would be justified,
as hardly less could be expected, from a similar
connection with the Pacific through California.
But Mexico is now pre-eminently the land of
promise for railroad development and commer-
cial expansion. The civilization of the nine-
teent h century in the American form is push-
ing into that country. It is not an invasion,
but an embrace. It promises to settle forever the
old border difficulties. It promises, the com-
munion and assimilation of Mexicans and
Americans for the improvement and profit
of both. Perhaps the time is not very
distant when there will be more business and
more personal intercourse between Galveston
and the City of Mexico than there are between
Galveston and New Orleans to day. All roads
lead to Rome. As Galveston can not be a way j
station, it must be her destiny, with deep
water and converging railroads, to be a great
metropolitan terminus—or nothing.
REMITTED TO HISTORY.
General Sherman's ill-tempered remarks in
his Hartford Army Beunion speech were
doubtless intended to wound Southern suscepti-
bility through Jeff Davis and Wade Hampton.
He is noted, it is true, as a blunt, out-spoken
man, but neither habit nor natural bluntness
should have found expression in such • an un-
seemly exhibition of rage and hate on such an
occasion. It was hurtful to General Sher-
man's good name and fame, and otherwise in-
consequential. Beyond nettling a few waspish
editors down South, the speech surprised no-
body and irritated nobody. The intelligence
and best thought of the Sonth have long since
remitted to history fch® question of the war and
the quarrels of ite heroes, and therefore any
disputes that may arise between the
Shermans and th# Grants and the
Johnstons and the Davisss must go to
that forum for a hearing, and not to the pas-
sions of jealousy, hatred and sectional ani-
mosities. The people of the South fought the
battles and struggled hard to win their cause,
liut the fortunes of war were against them,
and they lost. They made a record, however,
and one that they can wall afford to relegate to
posterity through the channels of impartial
history—the history that shall finally decide
the issue of fact between Sherman and Hamp-
ton as to the burning of Columbia, and all
(similar disputes that are disturbing the equa-
nimity of those who desire to see error estab-
lished and their own fame emblazoned before
the historian comes along. The South of the
present cares but little whether the Southern
acoount of the war, its causes and its results,
be now accepted as true or denounced as false.
Nor does she feel the least concerned at the
ilt-natured gibes and low-bred flings from
a malignant sectional press. They do not hurt.
The cause is gone to history. It may be dragged
by the ghouls through public places to feast the
appetites of the ignoble, and to be trampled and
spit upon by (hose whose fame its jistory will
■wither, but that will not wipe out a single fact-
Truth Is eternal, and the faithful historian will
find, it The South went down to the grave of
her former hopes, but she arose, turned her
face to the future, and is to-day marching on
as never before, to prosperity, to wealth, to
powsc.
And to come to them entreat us
Even' year."
STATE PRESS.-
What the Interior Papers Say.
In reporting the trial of Vic Dixon for mur-
der, in Fayette county, the Lagrange Journal
says:
Several jurors remarked to us that the murder
was such a diabolical one that hanging was the only
fit punishment; that they felt satisfied that Dixon
was oresent, but that the State failed to make out
a sufficiently plain ease to warrant them in inflict-
ing the death penalty; and, that the alibi received
no consideration. They were convinced that the
witnesse: had been so intimidated that thay did not
dare :o tell the truth; and, in fact, not one would
swear up to his statements on the examining trial,
or at the jury of inquest. While Mr. Dixon goes out
of the court-house free, the impression exists that
he is guilty of one of the most dastardly murders
ever committed in the county.
Whereupon the Brenham Banner thoughtfully
remarks:
This is remarkably strong language for a news-
paper to use after a trial has been concluded, and
it certainly never would have been used unless the
strongest provocation existed. It is, indeed, a sad
commentary on the efficiency of our criminal laws
when a man who is universally believed by a com-
munity to be guilty of a cowardly murder and then
be able to so intimidate the witnesses that they
dare not swear the truth in open court. A worse
condition of affairs could not possibly exist; it is
calculated to bring t,he law into utter
contemot and to make it highly disrepu-
table. It would be far better for the community
and the State at large hacl the seeming formality
of a trial been omitted entirely. The courts should
be able not only to protect themselves, but to
afford the most ample protection to all the wit-
nesses. The Journal is er titled to the thanks of the
entire State for speaking out boldlv and telling the
truth about the result of this so-called trial. Lynch
law and all kinds of mob violence are very justly
condemned, but when justice is made a mockery
and witnesses are absolutely afraid to tell the truth
when placed upon the stand, it is high time people
who respect the law were devising some means by
which it may be rigidly enforced.
The mail clerks of The News having refused
to place dynamite in the copies of the paper
sent to exchanges which are in the habit of inter-
larding their local news and advertisements in
the same style, thereby imposing work that
would puzzle the Sifter, sealed proposals are
invited to shoot the offenders with mustard
seed.
The Marshall Messenger says in regard to
the report that in some portions of Texas the
liquor dealers are forming unions to fight the
temperance movement and prevent the Legis-
lature from submitting to the people a constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of spirituous and malt liquors:
If this is so. the liquor dealers are taking a very
unwise step, and are provoking the verv crisis
they deprecate and may have reason to deplore.
Whenever, if ever, the liquor dealers of Texas con-
solidate to influence or iiirect legislation or to cor-
rupt, suborn or debauch legislators, that very
moment they will lose the respect and engender
t;,.e enmity of good, conservative citizens every-
where. If liqu r-dealers properly appreciate these
facts, they v ill be slow to array them elves as a
separate body against the masa of society. They
conld commit no more suicidal act.
A North Texas paper says:
The J':nior Cornet Band of Sherman is making
rar.id advancement in open air music proficiency.
They are small, but loud on the toot.
Keep it up, boys. Of such material leading
politicians are made.
Mr. Robeson, formerly of the Decatur Tri-
bune, has purchased an interest in the Long-
view Democrat.
The Orange Tribune is not so sweet on Jay
Gould as some other papers which print his
likeness. What has soured the Tribune it ex-
plains itself:
At one time we believed Jay Gould to be a man of
extraordinary sense and shrewdness, but his move-
ments r.-eo.;ii;> have impressed us with the convic-
tion that this magnate is very little, if any, above
mediocrity Overlooking the merits of Sabine Pass
mid pouncing upon the shoals and bar- of less de-
sirable Texas points, i> good evidence that Gould is
either much overrated by the press or has been
shocking^ duped by his advisers."
Tha Tyler Democrat and Reporter threatens
to visit the sins of the Waco papers on that
city:
We think a majority of the people of this section
woull have ori;;i; a iy preferred to see the Stale
University located at Waco, but'since the papers
of that place have seen fit to indulge in the usual
slang and balderdash concerning Tyler's gr-. ed for
and Tide in tilling'public offices, etc., it possible
that the vote here will now go for Austin or some
oilier point. The moral taught Waco will be that
those who live in glass houses should never throw
stones.
Notwithstanding the old English common
law rule that a man has the right to adminis-
ter reasonable punishment on his wife, this
right, would not appear to be guaranteed by
the Fifteenth Amendment; or, if so, to be re-
spected in the city of Brenham. The Banner
reports a case as follows:
Thursday night about bed-time John Tanness,
who lives in Watrousville, let in with a stick and
gave his wife a most terrible beating. Her lungs
were good, and she screamod so loud that she was
heard nearly a mile. John kept up his exercise for
about a quarter of an hour. John was arrested and
kept in the " heater " all night. On Friday morn-
ing, to cool him off, he was lined $25and trimmings.
He paid.
John should have paid under protest, and
then have carried the case into the United
States courts, in which the colored race are
supposed to enjoy peculiar advantages.
A complaint has been made that the ladies
did not receive due consideration at the late
reunion of Texas editors. The managers of the
association should proclaim in advance the re-
quirements entitling ladies to seats. The Tex-
arkana Democrat says:
In publishing a list of editors and wives who will
attend the press reunion next week, the Arkadel-
phia papers cause us to blush visibly by registeri&g
" J. H. Wootten and sweetheart, Texarkana Demo-
crat."
The Clebourne Chronicle, a sober-sided secu-
lar paper, remarks: 0
Eld. Kilgore. the Adventist, and Rev. Wm. Price,
of the Methodist Church, are having a religious de-
bate at Granbury, Hood county. When Greek
meets Greek, then don't they spute? We should
titter.
Eider Caskey should be called on to act as
moderator. The present weather is appropri-
ate to such controversies. Hot.
The Cleburne Chronicle says that the Uni-
versity ought not to be located in a large city,
and gives, as one reason therefor, the number-
less allurements to vice that are thrown in the
way of the students. The Chronicle says:
We are not of the number who believe the best
way to teach young men and boys morality is to
give them the free run of all the Vicious haunts to
be found in a city. So distinguished a man as Jef-
ferson chose a rural location for the great University
of Virginia. Harvard College is located in the
country, and the famous English institutions, Ox-
ford and Cr-.nibridge, were built far away from the
busv commercial marts of the Kmpire. The
Chronicle *'t- not without honorable precedent in
suggesting that the Texas University be located in
the country. It is true a town wouK gradually
build up around the institution, but It would be of
a population almost rural of character.
The Chronicle turns the " natural advan-
tages" vs. help yourselves argument against the
State capital as follows:
The Chronicle has never had a word to say derog-
atory to Austin^ but since Siftings has chosen to
charge such a thing we wtll remind that town that it
has never done anything for itself, but like a great
whimpering baby "cried to be fed by the State, and
then will hardly eat unless the victuals are chawed
for it. For years the place has been wanting some
afford to smile, for neither seems to have any
effeet. in relaxing his hold on popular favor.
As Sittings says, The News has not ap-
plauded all his acts, nor did it undertake to
defend him from the jokes of that paper,
which sees the humorous side of everything.
The Wills Point Local is horrified to hear
Oliver ask for more:
Waco wants the State University. And our opin-
ion is that Waco will not be disappointed—the peo-
ple of Texas will keep Waco wanting. Waco has
got Into a disagreeable habit of wanting everything
she hears about. She is as bad as Ohio.
The Gatesville Sun says, reproachfully;
The Galveston News paid no attention to the
Sun until we confessed having acted a fool in a cer-
tain matter, then it took pains in spreading abroad
our own confession.
Did the Sun wish The News to contradict
it? Its general good character for veracity
would have given it a strong hacking on such
an issue. A reputation for veracity and mag-
nanimity is better than one for being smart.
The Sun was far from proving its allegation,
however, even if it did accuse itself of playing
the fool on a particular occasion—a thing
which every one does. People who call them-
selves the chief of sinners, however, are not
pleased when others agree with them, and
most people prefer the name of sinner to that
of simpleton. It is only wheqi a fellow is on
trial for his life that he wants to prove himself
a fool. The Sun may be with itself as old
Jqsse Benton was about his brother Thomas H.
Benton. Senator Cameron says:
I was one day sitting in the parlor of a steamer,
where a boisterous man was talking disagreeably
about Senator Tom Benton. I listened for a while
and Anally said to him: "Your remarks, sir, are
exceedingly distasteful to me." The man immedi-
ately fired up and retorted: " He is my brother,
sir, and I'll abuse him as much as I've a mind to.
But I want you to understand that I don't allow
any other man to do it."
The Mineola (Wood county) Monitor prints
this admonition to those who make haste to
spend in summer what they have earned and
saved in winter:
" Where shall we go this summer?" is beginning
to appear in the headlines of the newspapers. The
answer to the conundrum way be found in the
Scriptures: "Go to the ant, tliou sluggard; con-
sider her ways and be wise."
The good book points to the ants as " a peo-
ple not strong," yet who provide against the
season of scarcity and want. As an example
of what some people gain from travel, the
Monitor quotes the story of a lady who, when
asked on her return from Italy whether she
had seen the lions.of St. Mark, replied: "Oh,
yes; we arrived just in time to see the noble
creatures fed;" and another who, when Dr.
Beadle, of Philadelphia, spoke of the beauty of
the Dardanelles, replied: "Oh, yes, I know
them well. They are intimate friends of
mine."
The Hamilton Herald thus describes a pleas-
ure tour taken by an old public functionary of
that county:
>Jr. L. M. Grigsby, Treasurer, thought he would
relax a little. He concluded to take a trip on
"kyars." "The tired public servant," said he,
" needs rest. The bow that is always bent loses its
elasticity; therefore, though no longer a beau, I
will unbend." So he locked up his desk, took a
tender farewell of his family, and went to Hico.
There the iron horse was pawing and shaking his
mane, ready to light out for Cisco. The treasurer
got aboard, the whistle whistled, the steam
steamed, ana the train wizzed on to Mount Airy.
There the aid horse got baulky and would go
no further, but backed, and kicked, and
nickered, till Grigsby got ont and took it on foot
through the deep, hot sand, under the blazing sun,
with the thermometer at 100 degrees, and no water.
Two of his three legs were wooden, with very small
feet, that sank deep In the sand. Grigsby was des-
perate. A wagon, drawn by two little black bulls,
Nig and Coley, hove in siriht. It was a godsend,
even that little team of bulls, and Grigsby char-
tered them, mounted the wagon with a grunt of de-
light and went on his way rejoicing. The new
conveyance didn't travel as fast as the cars, but
poked on very slowly. Mr. Grigsby reached Cisco
through great tribulation, and returned likewise.
He has gone back to his books. He says "business
is business, but all pleasure is worse than vanity."
He is satisfied.
People who are obliged to stay at home will
find reading of this kind instructive.
bodv to build it a railroad to ths marble quarries of
Burnet county. But that fossfliferoae deposit,
some times called property owners of Austin,
can as easily be moved out. of their inertia
as a trilobite of the Silurian period. The
tempting bait of a State capital and
other costly buildings can not give the dead town
a momentary spurt of energy. Do the people of
Austin also want to instill Into the youths of Texas
their own good-for-oothingness and want of
enterprise? Contrast it with Johnson county. Here
everything is activity and progress. The little
town of Cleburne, containing 3080 inhabitants, has
given $75,000 for two railroads. The wide-awake
citizens are moulding affair? for seouring
other roads. The whole moral amo«phar# is one
of vigor and advancement. Youn^ men iu oellejje
surrounded by such rafluencoii these would ac-
quire a fervor that could not fail to make after-life
successful. Austin will be a good place to educate
boys Into mossbackism.
The Chronicle argues shrewdly, but the loca-
tion of the university at Austin is, perhaps, a
foregone conclusion.
The Texas Sittings talks back at The News
for rebuking the Sifter's wickedness in tying
the milking stool to the coat-tail of the Old
Alcalde, like a tin can to the caudal appendage
of a harmless domestic animal. The Sifter
agrees with The News that the O. A. does not
mind it, and rather intimates that he likes it.
Maybe so. The old man has the same smile
which is " child-like and bland," for the jest
and the invective at th« press, and he can
Commencement at Goliad College.
[To the News.l
Goliad, Texas, June 16, 1881.—Last night
the annual commencement exercises of Goliad
College closed the most elaborate and brilliant
series of college entertainments ever held in
Western Texas.
The annual examination of classes was held
in the college chapel, lasting three days,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week.
A great crowd of people was here from dis-
tant parts of the State. The thorough-
ness of class-room drill evinced in
the examinations was the feature which
most attracted and pleased the numerous pa-
trons. Saturday night the annual grand con-
cert of the Music Department was given, dur-
ing which a class of six young ladies and two
young men contested for a gold medal in piano
music. The entire programme was of the
highest order of merit. The judges decided in
favor of Miss Florence A. Reid, of Laredo,
with special mention of Leonidas M. Lene (son
of State Senator Lane), of Goliad. Monday
morning the exhibition of the Preparatory De-
partment was well attended and proved to be
an entertainment of pleasing variety. The lit-
tle fellows organized a burlesque railroad
meeting, which they conducted with ludicrous
gra vi ty.
Monday night the Fannin and Sola Stella
societies held their anniversary, at which they
presented to the public two complete plays,
entitled "Never Say Die" and " The Honey-
moon ;" also, a burlesqiie oratorical address by
a "distinguished speaker from abroad." The
speaker was well disguised, but was evidently
a student of the college. '' The Honeymoon "
was especially well rendered. Miss Laurettea
Wilkinson, of Goliad, acted the part of Juliana
with great fidelity, and Percy Caldwell, of
Cuero, played the Duke's part in a lifelike
manner. The hall was crowded beyond en-
durance.
Tussdaay morning two classes in elocution
contested for. gold medals—the young men in
declamation, and the young ladies in recita-
tions. The speakers showed the result of care-
ful training, and, without exception, spoke
well. Homer Crocker, of Victoria, and Jeffer-
son L. Vining, of Duval county, divided the
honors ill their class, and Miss Jennie Sullivan,
of Karnes county, was awarded the medal in
her class.
Tuesday night the music department pre-
sented two beautiful cantatas, "Cinderella"
and "An Hour in Fairyland," to a fine audi-
ence. The plays were exquisitely mounted,
and reflect much credit upon the director of
music, Mrs. J. D. Ilorton. This entertainment
was pronounced, by good judges, the best of
the series.
Wednesday morning the young gentlemen
of the higher college course contest ed for a gold
medal in oratory, and the young ladies of simi-
lar classes read essays for a similar medal. In
the former Mr. T. Meade Wil-jon, of Victoria,
subject, "The P.i.-,k We Run," was adjudged
victor, and in the latter Miss Moilie Hunt, of
Goliad, captured the medal. Th°. orations of
Ford Dix, of San Diego, subject, "The Hip
Pocket," and of Willis B. Wright, of Live Oak
county, subject, "Political Nemesis," were pro-
nounced excellent. The judges likewise re-
garded Miss Cornelia Cox's essay, subject,
•' Our Interwoven Lives," as an admirable pro-
duction. Miss Cox resides in Lagarto, Live
Oak county.
Wednesday night the commencement exor-
cises by the graduating class were attended by
all the people who could crowd into the chapel.
The entertainment was long and brilliant.
Diplomas were presented by the President, A.
A. Brooks. Ph. D., to a class of nine young
gentlemen and ladies, after which President
.Brooks delivered his baccalaureate address—
t strong plea for the beauty and strength of
educated young men and women. It was in
the highest degree classical and eloquent.
Gold medals were, in addition to those above-
mentioned, awarded as follows: Scholarship-
Oliver S. Caldwell, of Cuero. Excellence in
Scholarship and Conduct, to Misses Annie Wil-
kinson, of Goliad; Laurettea E. Wilkinson, of
Goliad; Jennie Weekly, of Gonzales county;
Cornelia Cox, of Live Oak county ; J. G. M.
Ramirez, of Camargo, Mexico; Emilio Cadena,
of Mier, Mexico. Vocal Music—Miss May
Knox, of Gonzales county. Commercial med-
al to Charles F. Allen, of Rockport.
The exercises closed with the singing of the
farewell ode by the class of '81, and the vast
audience retired to seek the rest thay
all needed so much. The attendance
of visitors and patrons from abroad
was unprecedented. The town was
severely taxed to accommodate them all, and
the fanie of Goliad College was largely en-
hanced thereby. The attendance of students dur-

If there is anything about the bribery of
members of the legislature which Sessions
does not know, it must be something nobody
has ever found out.

With the highest'respoct for piety in general
and the piety of-President Hayes in particular,
we are compelled to say that the opinion in

gether too much praying and too little watch-
ing while he was at Washington.

The Half-breeds are everywhere saying:
"You can see now what Senator Conkling
amounts to without patronage." Of course.
But what does the Republican party amount
to without patronage? Take the patronage
from that oorrtipt organization and it would
vanish like a soap-bubble.
[Atlanta Constitution. J
We have some hope, from the way in which
Grant and others are pitching into Blaine, that
the truth concerning the man's fragrant career
will be told by those the willfully deaf will
listenjto. Whenever it is told, the American
people will understand the fact that the man
ought to be in the Penitentiary instead of the
Cabinet.
[Denver Tribune.1
The Mahone crowd in Virginia is doing ifcS
best to prevent a Republican State Convention
from being held, and if it does not sucoeed in
this, it will make desperate efforts to capture
it. When the Democrats of Maine allowed
themselves to be swallowed by the Greenback-
ers, they became the contempt of the country.
If the Virginia Republicans allow themselves
to be swallowed by the Democratic repudla-
tionists they will be in a precisely similar posi-
tion. In no event should the Virginia Repub-
licans fail to put a straight ticket in the Held.
[Savannah News.]
" It is reported," says a Washington dis-
patch, "that the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has written a letter to the Secretary
of the Treasury to the effect that the Georgia
district represented in the House by Mr. Speer
is the most lawless in the United States so far
as internal revenue is concerned, and that the
moonshiners and other defrauders of the Gov-
ernment are encouraged in their acts by Mr.
Speer." Commissioner Rauni seems very
anxious to create the impression that there is a
perpetual war going on between his depart-
ment and the " moonshiners," backed by the
people of Georgia; but he should be careful
how he makes such serious charges against a
member of Congress.
[Savannah News.l
Among the many hostilities that have lately
broken out inside the Republican party is a
very unfriendly feeling between Senator Logan
and young Lincoln. The former was generally
credited with being the political godfather of
the Secretary of War, having suggested his
name to Garfield and secured him his Cabinet
position. Logan's aim in getting his man into
the War Department is said to have been a
desire to be revenged on an old enemy, General
Sherman. He expected Lincoln's assistance in
this work, but he has been p fully disappoint-
ed. Lincoln found the soc.al pressure of the
army too strong for him, and after one or two
feeble attempts to discipline the officers, gave
up, and is now wholly in their hands.
[Kansas City Journal.]
The Cincinnati Gazette very pertinently
says: "The Republican party has survived
situations more threatening than any that are
now visible, and even greater disasters than
the Democratic party now see impending."
This is all true enough, and it appears to us
that a profound belief in its superiority to
every blunder can oulv account for the greedy
persistence with which many of its members
do everything they can to test its powers of
endurance. But these optimists should remem-
ber that in the struggle to rise above all threat-
enings the Democrats had the House three
times, and that the Senate is not even yet re-
covered. We have all faith in (he vitality of
the party, but we do not like to see it tested in
that way. And we have very little faith in the
good sense or patriotism of those who do.
[H&rpers's Weekly.]
If Ananias be nominated upon the pjatform
of falsehood, we must support Ananias to keep
the party in power. If Jeremy Diddler buys a
regular nomination, wo must hurrah for Did-
dler and the public faith, that the party of
honesty may not be defeated. When the Irish-
man rode in the sedan chair without a bottom,
he remarked that, except for the name of the
thing, it was very much the same as walking;
and to stump for Ananias and to vote for Did-
dler seem to be very much the same as support-
ing the party of falsehood and dishonesty. To
cling to the party regardless of the principlesof
the party; to suppose that a regular nomina-
tion can make political sharpers and pettifog-
gers and traders fit for public trust because
they do not pick pockets and burn barns, is to
follow the banners and the bugles, the glitter-
ing arms and the serried ranks of the army be-
cause it is the army, and whether they march
to defend liberty or to destroy it.

Atlanta (Cass county) Express: Tuesday
evening the loading of two box cars with wild
western cattle was a source of amusement to a
number of boys and men at the pen. Several
managed to get out, but were run down and
brought back to the pen. A four-year-old
S'.aer from the wilds of Concho knocked down
Mr. Miller's fence and everything else that
came in his way. During a stampede of 1500
head at Waco, one of the herd ran into a drug
store, scared the clerk in an inch of his lite,
broke a number of things, ran out at the back
door, knocked down a plank fence eight feet
high, gored a negro and upset a wagon that
happened to be in his way.

Mr. Davis's Profits.
According to a correspondent of the Atlanta,
Ga., Constitution, Jeff. Davis's profits from
his history of the late war promise to be very
large. The cheapest form of the bock is $10 for
the two volumes, and the price runs from this
up to $35. Davis can not receive leas than
for each book sold, and the sale of over 50,000
copies is already assured. The English copy-
right has been secured. Davis has drawn
nothing from his publishers up to date, but
there are expenses of secretaries, amenuenses,
etc., amounting posibly to $10,000. 'The con-
tract with the Appletons was made six years
ago. Davis will probably receive $100,000 as
his share of the profits of the first year's sales.
General John B. Gordon, writing a history of
the night attack on Fort Steadman, at the re-
quest of Davis, on November 1, 1880, adresses
him as "My Dear Mr. President," and it is so
printed in the book. It is reported that Alex-
ander H. Stephens will review the Davis history
for Scribner's Monthly.
and now she is restored to us in good health by

Laredo Times of June 14: Mr. G. N. Davis,-
the popular agent of the International and
Great Northern Stage Line, showed us a letter
just received from the management of his road,
notifying him that during this week stages
would commence running to a point forty-hve
miles this side, instead of to San Antonio, the
terminus of the International and Graat North-
ern Railroad. This brings the staging neces-
sary to reach San Antonio down to only 110,
instead of 155 miles Mr. A. Perez, with his
train of twelve large wagons, crossed the river
yesterday to load at the terminus of the rail-
road, about one hundred and fifty tons of ma-
chinery intended for the Rosario cotton facto-
ry hi Porras, belonging to Madero, Governor
of the State of Coahuila. He brought from
that State about ninety thousand pounds of
goat skins all consigned to the extensive, well-
known merchant. Vizeaya, New Laredo. Mex-
ico; this train is considered the best in Mexico,
each wagon carrying about fifteen thousand
pounds, aud is contracted for two
trips. Over two hundred hands arrived
at Nuevo Laredo day before yesterday,
from Monterey, engaged by the Mexican Na-
tional Construction Company—in their grading
work now progressing from the other side to-
ward the interior of Mexico—'200 more to ar-
rive from Saltillo, and we are informed that
the force will be increased daily, and the work
rapidly pushed forward The Texas-Mexi-
cau Railroad will run their trains this week to
the secoud stage stand from Laredo—El Pes
cadito, about thirty-six miles from here.
It is only fair, we suppose, and in keeping
