DORSET'S REMINISCENCES.
Mr. Stephen W. Dorsey is at the present
time a very sore corn on the Republican foot.
He is sour, very sour, and much addicted to
telling tales out of school. He is now in Wash-
ington and is a perfeot huckleberry for the
correspondents, who daily regale their readers
with fresh editions of the Dorsey revelations.
Dorsey is in his way a very able man. It
would not be stretching the imagination too
far to call him one of the most brilliant men
in the Republican party. He is also a thor-
ough Republican, unscrupulous, reckless, dis-
cordant, an admirer of the machine, and a
general in the field of practical politics. He
contributed more to the election of Garfield
than any other man m the United States. His
soap campaign in Indiana is familiar to all. In
fact, it became too familiar to be pleasant,
and the administration concluded to prose-
cute him for his alleged connection
with the Star-route knavery to relieve itself
of contempt. The result of the trial is well
known. Dorsey was acquitted, but not proved
innocent in the public mind. It is possible,
however, that be is more sinned against than
sinning. He tells some very straight stories,
which he offers to substantiate whenever chal-
lenged, and charges the Star-route prosecution
to personal vindiotiveness and blackmail. It
is well known that James and MacVeagh, the
postmaster-general and attorney-general,
prompted the prosecution. Here ia how Dor-
sey describes them:
The appointment of MacVeagrh from Pennsyl-
vania as a member of the cabinet seemed to roe to
be an insult to the best element of the Republican
party of that State, and when I was asked to ex-
press my opinion to General Garfield I did it with
frankness, and I believe with entire truth. There
is nothing to MacVeagh except that he is the little
son-in-law of a great father-in-law. The only thing,
he represented was cranks, and he is worthy to be
chairman of that entire class. When General Gar-
field asked me to write him about James, of New
York, I didn't know whether he referred to a letter-
carrier or a policeman. 1 had never heard of any
James that ought to represent that great State in
the president's cabinet. I made some inquiries and
found out who James was, and learned, as I ex-
pected, that James was a sycophant, a fellow that
always lioked the toes of power, bowed
down to whoever was able to give
him aa office or take one a war
from him. W Khout character or standing or intel-
ligence, be wortsed himself into the cabinet, as the
representative Of Ne^ iprk. Now, I wijl tell you a
story about James, at4 ia dolus SO 1 don't want to
advertise a person so unworthy as he. I was in
(General Garfield's rooms at the Riggs house on
the night before James's nomination, when Mr.
James came in. General Gartiela, even at that
early day. seemed to fear the influence of Senator
Conkiing, and was Chen consulting Mr. James about
taking a place in his cabinet, and. among other
tbiriga. he astotd Mr. James if in the event of a brealt
between himsetf and the senator, ha could rely on
his support, fh reply, Mr. James said that if he
was appointed in the oabtoset he would do every-
thing in his power for the administration agaiust
>Ir. Oonklirg or any other Uew Yorx politician.
He rejterated this statement several times in my
bearing, and I heard it with amazement, as I
knew all that James was he owed to Mr. Oonkling.
While this conversation was going on I left the
room and went to call on Senator Cockling.
While there, silting in a room adjoining the parlor
with General Arthur, Mr. James cause in, and Mr.
ConkUng expressed his disapprobation at the idea
of Jamafc going info the cabinet, and James said
to him that it was better for him (Senator Oonk-
ling) to have a man in tine cabinet upon whom he
could always ,rely, as he could rely upon him
(Jawes). 1 don t know anything that illustrates
Jaoies better ikau this. Now, to show the weak-
ness of General Garfield. The letters I had written
go him at his request in regard to Jaertes and Mac
Veagh, which, it seems to die. should have been
secured, be turned over to thefu after they had
been appointed, to show them the Influence he had
to overcome to appoint them.
This places the two distinguished half-breed
reformers in an ugly attitude: yet no one who
knows them well would be willing to make
affidavit that Dorsey put the case too strongly.
It also shows up the nature of General Gar-
field in true colors. Garfield was the luckiest
man iu the United States to die as he did.
Here is a gem from the methods used to carry
Indiana, a$ related by the chief actor:
General Garfield seemed to think it best where
we found a chttrch in debt tfflat represented a large
number of vowrs that, if we haj the means, we
should pay off the debt, and where we found
community with a good number of Cauapb^lllte
voters without a cburoh, we had better contribute
liberally toward buiidftog one, especially if tne voters
were f)fenioorats. 1 carried out these suggestions to
the best of my ability under the guardianship of
Mr. Phillips and others. We tried to make the
lonely way of the Campbellite as pleasant as pos-
sible, and there wetfe about 2ft,000 of them in the
State.
It will be seen how the brethren were
worked; how the pious Garfield made his
religion do political duty, and the corruption
fund, on the other hand, raise temples to the
Lord. As Dorsey uses the names of Mr. Phil
lips, of Pennsylvania, and the president of
Hiram college as his coadjutors in this work,
there is hardly a doubt that he speaks truly.
He would scarcely dare use the names of these
gentlemen unless lie was able to substantiate
his assertions. Here is what the victorious
general of the campaign of 1880 thinks of the
present situation so far as the Republican
nomination is concerned:
The man who is most liltely to secure it is the
man who is not trying to get it. The people of this
country are not mourning for any individual for
president. They have been obliged to submit to
incompetents who were elected and fools who were
not. There have been twenty-one persons who
were called presidents On the 4th of March next,
sponge off every name except five and no c
would ever remember there were such men except
the wise antiquarians who look back into th<
misty records of the past and the youthful historian
of the country school. After Washington and
Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln and Grant, then
think of Hayes and Arthur. Don't you know that
there is no trouble to find a big tree in a field of
brushwood? The primeval forest of the Republi-
can partv has been pretty well cleared. The second
growth Is very sappy and all the old timber left is
shaded by rocks. Whether we can get the trees
out of the shade or rocks is a hard matter to teli
The chances appear two to one that Logan will be
the nominee.
Dorsey strikes the line of historical truth in
the above remarks with few exceptions. Hi:
tory will not indorse his description of Grant
as a great president. In fact, it could be said
thai Grant was one of the weakest that ever oc-
cupied the position. His two administrations in
every sense were decided failures. And did
not Mr. Dorsey also make a mistake when he
numbered John Quincey Adams and Madison
among the weaklings? But, oil the whole, the
acquitted Star-router is an entertaining talker
and it is to be hoped that his reminiscenses
will be continued.
East has been a losing business for some years;
and why ? Because there are so many compa-
nies, and competition so great, as to result in
rates inadequate to the hazard assumed. This,
however, Is no reason why extortion should be
levied upon the West and South, where rates
were sufficiently heavy as to yield a large pro-
fit annually. Eastern abuses should be cor-
rected in the East, and adequate, not extor-
tionate, rates established and maintained West
and South." This position, it seems to The
News, is well taken. The East gets its fire in-
surance at very low rates compared with the
West and South, lower perhaps than the dif-
ference warrants in equipment of the sectiftns
named for preventing the spread of disastrous
conflagrations. A great deal of insurance
capital is located at the East, and if the West
and South can be forced to average up in pre-
mium rates to cover the low rates prevailing
at the East, through heavy competition for
business there, why so much the better for that
section and for the insurance companies. The
News is not prepared to say that the compa-
nies will not be able to produce an array of
tabulated figures to prove anything they
may want to prove. In fact, The
I£ews rather thinks they may easily
do thie, that being especially in their line.
But no matter about that; the subject is wor-
thy of public attention. " Manufacturers
should at once organise state mutuals," con-
cludes the Industrial Gazette, "on the p(lan
adopted by the Mill-owners Mutual Insurance
association, whereby mill-owners get their in-
surance about SO per cent, per annum less than
would be charged by compact companies, and
indemnity, in case of loss, is much more cer-
tain. Merchants should do likewise, as also
should mechanics and laborers. Let some re-
sponsible party, in each of the divisions
named, take the initiative, organization can
soon be effected, aad stock companies in the
compact will be taught a salutary lesson.v
SECTIONALISM AND PROTECTIONISM,
One of the sinister incidents of the tariff dis-
cussion is an insidious endeavor to arouse a
sectional spirit in the South to the support of
the protective policy. Protectionist critics of
the Morrison programme of revision lose no
opportunity to insinuate an appeal to South-
ern prejudice by representing that it is calcu-
lated to work equally to the* advantage of
manufacturing industry in New England and
to the detriment of manufacturing industry in
the South. The Globe-Democrat, for example,
discussing the measure, remarks:
It is one which (so far, at least, as the free liet is
oonoerned) the New England members of Congress
will indorse if they are not short-sighted. If they
do not aroeat It now Iber will most certainly de-
mand a similar measure before many years have
passed. We have often pointed out tue present
tendencies in the industrial world—toward free
trade in New England, toward protection in the
South, and to some extent in the West. Webster
was an ortjrtual free-trader. Oallioun an early pro-
tectionist. The modern statesmen of New England
uud the 8owth, respectively, are bound to get back
upon the first platforms of their eminent predeces-
sors.

" CORNER" IN FIRE INSURANCE
RATES.
The Midland Industrial Gazette, of St. Louis,
is just now making a vigorous fight on the
question of premium rates charged by fire in
surance companies in the South and Southwest.
The Gazette's attack is on the compact system
of insurance. It is maintained that insurance
rates are "cornered," and from the sections
named come frequent complaints of the bur-
dens imposed. The protests against the com-
pact system of insurance are particularly
strong from manufacturing centers, manufac-
turers and mechanics alike feeling the weight
of the unjust contributions being levied
upon them. Mercantile interests also are
made to suffer, but in a lighter de
gree, although sufficiently heavy to add
materially to the expense of conducting
business. " Compact insurance," writes
the Industrial Gazette, "is a very cuaningly
devised scheme whereby rates are foroed up to
the ntmost limit which will be permitted by
an outraged community, and almost every city
in the West and South has the compact, like
vampire, sucking its industrial and mechanical
blood. It is a scheme which places industrial,
mechanical and mercantile interests, so far as
insurance is concerned, in the power of one
man. whose mandate, as to rates, is as absolute
as is a ukase from the czar of Russia,
compact manager fixes all the rates in the ter-
ritory assigned him by the Insurance Union-
wkich is the boss compact—from which
there is no appeal, and persons desir-
ing insurance must submit to the
extortion or carry their own risks. The local
agent is powerless, and should not be blamed
he must charge the rate fixed by the autocrat
of the compact or his companies will be taken
from him. The good old plan of rating by a
committee of local underwriters is done away
with, being superseded by one-man power; and
if protest is entered against his unjust rating
he repeats Tweed's laconic reply: 1 WeH
what are you going to do about it?' The bene
fits of the compact system are enjoyed by the
companies only. No benefits ever accrue
the assured. No technicalities in policies are
waived, neither is there any im-
provement in the iniquitous plan
adjustment adopted by so many companies.
The above is pretty strongly put by the Ga-
zette, but is there not something in it? We
have seen here in Galveston within the past
few weeks how easily the local underwriters
could be put aside in the matter of insurance
rates, and the rulings of the compact system
substituted with arbitrary exactness. Local
boards are compelled to give way to state
boards, and state boards perforce to a still
more solidified authority beyond them. The
News is not informed upon the exact objects
of the Insurance Union mentioned by the In-
dustrial Gazette, nor in what manner, if in
any manner, the said Union regulates insurance
policy in this territory. But we have seen
here that the local board of underwriters has
lost its power to make good the understand-
ing that, with a waterworks system estab-
lished in Galveston, the last advance of
25 per cent, on fire-insurance rates would be
receded from. The News, in discussing this
question, has already adverted to the seeming
injustice of a well-provided locality against
fire-risks beir.g compelled to average up its
premium rate to suit the losses incidental to a
wide territory containing many poorly pro-
vided districts. Every tub should stand
upon its own bottom, and if the
Industrial Gazette is correct in its
showing this is not being done. " The compact
system," continues the Gazette, "enables tlio
companies !>elonging thereto to cover their im-
mense losses in the East by» the favorite plan of
levying contributions upon the industry ant'

The Clarksville Standard, a warm friend of

that Alex. Trimble was one of the villains engaged

if w« were in Governor Ir#la»d*s place, fcav» him

riot protect a train-robber, as a matter of public
pelioy, or to please Mr. Frelinghuysen. The pro-
vision in the treaty that the respective govern-
ments may refuse to surrender criminals is not
mandatory, and 7t is contrary to general public
policy to so construe it, though there might be
delicate cases in which it would be advisable to
do so.
The aphorism, every man has his price, has
been vindicated at last. Even that stern old
Diogenes of the press, Unole Daniel, has come

At no time in the past did Southern states
en, as Southern statesmen, stand upon the
protectionist platform. Mr. Calhoun, during
hie six years service ia the National House of
Representatives, from 1811 to 1817, was singu
larly free from any distinctly Southern spirit.
He was liberal to an extreme in construing the
constitution and in advocating works of in-
ternal improvement, as objects of a
wise and comprehensive patriotism, on
grounds of purely national policy.
His conservatism was that of a thorough
American and an intense nationalist, deeply
inibned with the Anglophobia which preceded
and attended the war of 1812, and which long
after the treaty of Ghent continued to be
dominant influence in the popular mind and
the public life of the country. At the close of
the war Mr. Calhoun found that certain do
mestic manufactures had been oalied into life
by the war aad the double duties which had
been levied to meet its expenses. His patri-
otism, anxious to see the country independent
with respect to warlike resources, and mate-
rially well prepared for any future rupture
with Great Britain, revolted at the idea of
these domestic manufactures being depressed,
perhaps annihilated, by English competition.
Hence he supported the protective tariff of
1816. This measure was in the nature of a
continuation of a war tariff, after the war, for
contingent war purposes. Mr. Calhoun, like
the majority of his countrymen of that day,
was doubtless in error. Subtantial free trade,
tending to the largest development of
resources, the widest diversification
of industry and the greatest in-
crease as well as diffusion of wealth,
would have better promoted the general wel
fare of the country and better prepared it for
war. But, however mistaken Mr. Calhoun's
statesmanship as an early protectionist may
have been, there can be no question that it
was not Southern, was not sectional, but na-
tional and patriotic in the broadest sense of
these terms. It was not many years, however,
before he saw the pernicious character of the
protective policy—its tendency to centralize
wealth, to aggrandize some sections and oppress
others, to impair commerce and navigation,
and retard the general progress of the oountry
wealth and prosperity. Thus the great
South Carolinian was brought to occupy com-
mon ground with Webster and other NewEng
land representatives on the tariff question. The
New England States and the Southern cotton
growing States from 1824 to 1828 were almost
unanimous for free trade, and the Middle
States almost unanimous for a protective
tariff. Finally New England weakened, the pro
tectionists, through the management of Martin
Van Buren and Henry Clay, gained sufficient
strength in Congress to repeatedly carry and
clinch their policy, and as a last resort Mr-
Calhoun assailed it with the agitation of the
nullification doctrine, which resulted in extort-
ing from the protectionists Mr. Clay's compro-
mise tariff of 1833, providing for a gradual re-
duction of duties and aa abandonment of the
protective system at the end of ten years. A
tendency to free trade in New England may
indeed mean that modern Nfew England states-
men are bound to get back upon the free-trade
platform of their predecessors. But whatever
tendency toward protectionism there may be
in some parts of the South, it does not and can
not imply the return of Southern statesmen
to an original and distinctly Southern plat
form of their predecessors. There was
no such platform. The early counte
nance given to a qualified protective
policy by statesmen of the South, such as
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Calhoun, was
prompted by the broadest nationalism of spirit.
It had reference only to transitory emergen
cies. 44 Agriculture, manufactures, commerce
and navigation," said Jefferson, addressing
Congress in 1801, 4'the four pillars of our
prosperity, are then most thriving when left
most free to individual enterprise." He was
willing, however, to make a measurable sacri
fioe of this principle to his Anglophobia. Had
he lived to this time his mind would have risen
out of the obscuring and discoloring mists of
that distemper, and he would have been an
out-and-out free-trader, for in patriotism ho
was nothing if not national, and if not for the
reconciliation and welfare of all interests on a
basis of justioe, aad protectionism is nothing
if not sectional and fruitful of discords, con-
tentions and rancors on a basis of injustice.

The road to success in business consists in keep
injr one's business before the public by advertising
liberally. The public leok upon tne fact that one
advertises liberally as a proof of his goods, and
they infer from it that it is best for them to trade
with a merchant who shows himsslf to be active
and zealous in extending his business. Where one
is doing a large business, with a wide circle of
customers—in fact, with the public generally—It
stands to reason that he can afford to be content

a small and seatteriug trade ana is obliged to sell
his goods at high prices in order to make a bare
support. The public also concludes that if a mer-
chant is thrifty'and prosperous he will show it by
endeavoring to widen and enlarge his business by
means of advertising, aod the public is correct in
its conclusion on this point.

The following from the McKinnev Black
Waxy Is almost as bad though not so bold as
Professor Clark's edict against bangs:
The mustangy looking hangs which the Clarks-
ville Standard said makes a woman look like an
unruly cow with a board tied over her eyes, are
to be changed now for a mop of frizzes to be set
high tlpon the head a la crow's nest.
Legislators with the press are, like the utter
ers of long prayers at the corners of the streets
not valued in proportion to the length of their
speeches. A good deal of eloquence was
worse than wasted at the late extra session.

Texas needs a legislature and needs it badly. She
needs one made up of men whp do not

The following is from the Paris (Lamar
county) Tribune:
The difficulty with state legislators seems to be
that they do not recognize the fact that there is a
farming and graaing seotion in Texas. Settlement
may, perjhaps will, come to all sections—but until
it does It is foUy to legislate for all Texas as it it
wejje uniformly settled and had a oomnaon interest
in all respects. A happy mean between the license
of free grass and the rigor of a herd law is wnat
Texas .needs.
The Tribune is one of the many neatly
printed papers of the State.
The Marshall Messenger says:
Governor Ireland should not have told the cattle-
men to shoot the teoce-cuttars.
The typographical appearance of Texas
Siftings has been greatly improved since the
paper has been printed at New York, while the
publication has lost none of its merits other-
wise. It is new a national Institution, and the
great representative of American humor in
Europe.
The Inquirer gives the following version of
the Waekler trouble]
It seems M*. Houston and Mr, Miller had entered
I into an agreement to assist each other in ferreting
out the augers of wire-outting troubles in their
respective localities. Mr. Miller had sent out ru-
mois asking supposed wire cutters and their friends
for a conference at Waelder. They responded to
the number of sixty to ninety, there being some
twenty-five gunj in the crowd. These the rangers
had placed In a wagon, over which a guard was
placed, and likewise a guard on behalf of the own-
era. Certain parties in that section had suffered
frequently and severely in having their fences cut.
and while the', evil has been continuing some hard
remarks have been auoted from one party to an-
other, and it seemingly has revived an old personal
feud. It is one of the occurrences concerning which
the very air is rife with sensational reports, a sat- |
isfactory history of which no man can give. Cap-
tain Jones conversed with parties on ooth sides,
and endeavored to bring about a cessation of strife
and a reconciliation. We understand the parties
agreed to cease remarks about the matter, and
drop the past on condition that fences should be |
unmolested.
The Denison Herald-News says of the work
of the extra session
The legislature has adjourned, and it has not I BPfllllS. DPCt 13CU111$
been so remarkable for tfhat It has done as for what J win r\»
It has not done. It has not reddoed taxes, but It
has managed or mismanaged to leave them just as
they were, 90 cents on the $100. They have ap-
proximated at a road law, but there will b* no bet-
ter roads in the future than in the past from their
action. They have passed a herd law, but it is an
experiment, and it remains to bS seaA whether or
uot it will be efTeotive for general good. They
passed a law to punish fence-cutting, but it is |
catching before hanging. It i« questionable 1
whether or not it was the oest thht could have been j
done.

according to a report through a French jour-

ing letter, dated December?, from the Gaboon;
The expedition of M. de Brazsa is a complete
_ailure. Three-fourths of his stores have b
ruined by rain and wet. Most of the members of
the expedition have alrea^ left. M. de Braeza. by
closing the Ogows river, has excittd the enmity of

The New York Herald, of the 8th instant,

One afcernoen this week, in a Madison avenue I

ance of gilt watch chain and cheap jewelry, was
very much excited because some of the passengers
of
A special dispatch from Paris, Tex., an-
nounces the death of Hon. J. B. Davis, mem
ber of the House of Representatives from the
Twentieth district—Lamar. Mr. Davis's dis
ease was paralysis and it seems he died at
Whitesboro, on his way from Austin to his
home in Lamar, which he was destined never
to reach. Mr. Davis was a native of Ken-
tucky, which has given so many men of worth
to Texas. He was fifty-five years of age and
a lawyer by profession. The deceased was a
member of the Senate in 1864, and in 1802 was
elected to the House, as a Democrat. Repre
senting one of the finest counties m the State,
the deceased legislator was always found
standing up for the interests of his constitu-
ents and of his section.
This morning*s dispatches show that the
crisis in Egypt is no joke. The capture of
Sinkat and the destruction of the garrison in
the same ruthless manner that has so distin-
guished the lighting of the El Mahdi rebels,
thus far, are not only not jests, but most se-
rious facts for the Egyptians, as well as their
British backers. As a strategic point Sinkat
covers Suakim, and the fall of the former
might be considered a prelude to that of the
latter, unless England comes to ' he rescue as
she has promised. Matters look threatening
for Suakim, as well as the khedive. *
Tiie New York Maritime Register says that
the depth of water on the bars of the chief
ports of the world must be a formidable draw-
back to those who believe that the ocean ves-
sel of the future is to be a leviathan. Twenty-
five feet depth of w ater on Sandy Hook bar
puts New York iu the background with such a
steamer of the future. It is possible, however,
that they who confidently expect big vessels
may gracefully concede the point that the
depth of water at such places as New York
may determine the size of vessels to be built.
IT Gladstone were a very great man he
might get saucy at the London Times for urg-
ing him to action in Egypt and predicting a
speedy end to his public career if he does not
take its advice. Will he boycott the Times
and roilect u^on its employes for the little
freedom it indulges in criticism? Perhaps the
Times is now shivering in a cold u
of auxiety, and perhaps it ifta't.
guished though he be, must follow.
Well, he will follow like the apostle—at a
great distance. The smart scribble rs who get
in work of this kind are not to be suppressed
by a paragraph. There are always good-
natured editors who lack courage to cut out
the objectionable matter.
The Burnet Bulletin has been greatly im-
proved of late without making any parade of
the fact. It exhibits evidences of much good
work, as well as good sense.
A man may be eighty years old and not have
but twenty birthdays. The Brazos Advertiser
says;
Mr. Henry Hoppe will be eighty years old on the
•29th of this montn, and will celebrate his twentieth
birthday on that day. Aa the old gentleman's
birthday only comes eve#y four years, he never
misses celebrating it in a good style.
The San Antonio Light says:
When you want to hear the news real bad go
away from home.
This should read "Read the Galveston
News" instead of "go away from home."
Other papers may furnish "politics, litera-
ture and amusements," but for news read the
Galveston News. Home news and news for
people away from home in regard to their own
home affairs are alike to be found in its col-
umns. Galvestonians abroad say it is better
than half a dozen private letters, while those
at home look to it for accounts of the doings
of their next-door neighbors.
The Victoria Advocate says:
The movement looking to the establishment of a
newspaper at Edna, the thriving county seat of
Jackson county, has resulted in the sale by Mr.
Forney of a one-half interest in the material to
Messrs. W. H. Allen and Louis Thulemeyer, of this
city. The paper will be published by the firm of
Forney, Allen & Thulemeyer, and the first number
is to be issued about March 1.
The Alvord Messenger says:
John N. Killough, formerly of Aurora, has ob-
tained a patent on a machine for stretching and
removing fence wires.
This may enable the cutters to change their
tactics.
The papers of the interior generally ac-
knowledge the receipt of an Invitation to at-
tend a grand ball at Galveston during the
Mardi-Gras festivities. Mardi Gras does not
exactly mean free grass, but it is a free thing
and every body will be welcome.
The San Antonio Times has a veritable repeti-
tion of the old story of the Frenchman who
fell on the snake and told how the reptile was
scared:
William XuqJey after imbibing too much liquor
for the good of hie equilibrium, fell over a wall
about eight feet high, by the river's side, falling
plumb on a large moccasin snake, whioh was com-
fortably ooiled in a peaceful sleep. The snake was
as frightened as William, and neither stopped for
longer acquaintance.
The snake took to the water and William
was sent to jail for being drunk and down,
not for being down on the snake in particular.
The Bandera Bugle, before the passage of
the new law, remarked:
It is now being found that there is quite enough
of law on fence-cutting; it is the want of its en-
forcement that is the trouble.
The Lampasas Dispatch says of the work of
the extra session:
It is needless to comment upon the result or say
what might have been done or what should not
have been done, but it becomes all good citizens to
accept the result in good faith and practice. Let
the pasturemen adapt themselves to the new con-
dition* and arrange their fences aocordmg to law.
Let the fence-cutter now take a sober, second
thought and prove that their grievances were not
merely excuses.
These suggestions go well together. If the
great pasturemen want the fence law enforced
instead of becomiug a mere brutum fulmen,
they must themselves comply with the law,
and not be content with assuming that because
their own offense is made a mere misde-
meanor they may go on offending whilo the
fence-cutter is made a criminal and outlaw for
attempting to remedy his own supposed griev-
ances when the law has failed to protect him.
Those who expect others to observe the laws
should respect them themselves. To prose-
cute fence-cutters and spare land-grabbers will
only increase the troubles.

ITo The Newt. I
Jewett, Tex,, February 11, 1884.—It is of
course entirely natural that there should be
diversity of opinion both as to measures and
men under ail circumstanoes, but especially in
times like the present, in Texas. It is not,
therefore, surprising that eur worthy senator
from this distriot (Randolph) and your repre
sentative who sent the telegram from here on
the 8th, should hold views differing from those
entertained by others. I refer especially to
the suggestion of the names which, it is stated,
the people here want to see at the head of the
next Democratic State ticket. No one here
desires to attempt even to detract from the
well earned fame ot that venerable and dis-
tinguished man, but at the same time the
people remember that he voluntarly chose,
two years ago, uot to offer himself for gov
ernor,aud that be has since been appropriately
aud fitly provided with a position, of ail
others, most congenial to his tates. Hence, un
lees some imperative necessity exists for his re-
call to political life, there is no good reason
why he should be disturbed in his retirement.
* I respectfully submit, as|a resident here—and,
as I believe, at least reasonably well informed
as to public opinion on this question—that the
people here are in the main satisfied with the
present sjteentive. They do not believe him in
any wige.responsible for the causes orresults of
the feope cutting troyblea, and b.lieve he has
acted in the emergency with commendable
conservatism, yet with armui* and courage,
rempmberftie at all times his oath to support
aud uphold the constitution of the State. They
are willing at least to wait aud see whether or
not he will wisely and efficiently use the fund
voted him wherewith to suppress lawlessness,
aud wait with an abiding cbnfldence that he
will so do.
Whatever may be his faults, no man cau
justly accuse him of a want of the highest type
of courage, tor he is certainly a plain, straight-
forward, simple, unafftcted man of pluck and
nerve. These virtues his strongest foe has never
denied him the possession of. Men differ as to
the correctness of his judgment and the wis-
dom and propriety of hi* actions, but I be-
lieve a largo majority here are ready to sup-
port him again, believing, as does your cor-
respondent, who neither owes him anything
nor expects to aak any favors at his hands,
that ha has discharged the duties of his high
office with real, fidelity, courage and ability.
Farmers here are busily preparing for pitch-
ing crops, aud are bttt little interested iu poli-
tic* further than to be unanimous for " a tariff
for revenue." People fcere are more interested
in securing a line of railroad direct to Galves-
ton and Houston than in any otl^er matter, and
are willing to forego politics for a season, if
thereby they can attaM that most desirable
end. " Lion.
