High Old Time.
Justice Sampson usually keeps an orderly
court, and when "Butch" is around people
put on style there at their peril. But "Hutch''
was absent yesterday afternoon, and the old
boy was to pay generally for a few minutes in
Sampsun's establishment of justice. Tne case
of the State *s. Mrs. Sullivan, and Mr. Fallon
was called at half past three. Fat Duffy was
the prosecuting witness. The ca=e had been
submitted to the court, when Fallon turned
his tongue loose on Duffy, in ope a court. Jus-
tice Sampson fined him for contempt of court,
when ue turned his undivided attention to his
honor and hurled considerable billingsgate in
that direction, and as a proper result imprison-
ment was ordered. Fallon concluded to settle
Duffy before he lett Mae august. presence of
justice and struck from the shoulder at him,
the blow falling upon the wall, sounding like
the crack of a pistol. Constable Behrens raid-
ed Fallon, but the doughty belligerent from
the west side would not be sat upon in any
such style, and demonstrated to the satisfac-
tion of behrens that he was a " oiger man'-
than any one in the temple. Officer Mat Cof-
fey, a stout litie peeler, who has as good mus-
cles as any man on the force, not excepting
Jnn Tier nay, walked inside of that court-room
and, with the assistance of the constable,
simtclied Fallon from his stronghold and lodg-
ed him in jail. Justice Sampson seemed
thoroughly aisgusted at what had occurred,
and lined Fallon $25. and one day's imp**ison-
inent. The case will be called again at 10
o'clock Monday morning, when it is belie red
that Fallon will not have under his belt quite
as much bourbon lightning as he had yester-
day.
or* CITY OARSMEN.
The Boat Races Yesterday and Their
Result—Who the Winners Were.
The wharves along the water front were last
night crowded with people, who had come
down to see the boat races, and on Kuhn's
wharf there was a large number of ladies who
did much by the waving of their kerchiefs and
their half-suppressed applause to add to the
speed of the competing oarsmen. The waters
of the bav were slightly ruffled by the south-
east wind, and this did not serve to add any-
thing to the speed of the racers, but, on the
whole, the sport was enjoyable, and the race
between Friekett and Bovd was a hotly con-
tested one. Contrary to" the programme as
published, the first race called was the skiff
race between Crotty and Westerlage, and then
it was 5.35 P. m. when the oarsmen were start-
ed with the words: "Gentlemen, are you
readv? Go!"'
Westerlage was the first to take the water,
and in the first half dozen strokes had gained
a lead of a quarter of a length, but this ad-
vantage he held but a few moments, as at the
end of the first eighth of a mile the boats were
on level terms. The decided superiority of
Crotty as an oarsman now began to tell, and
inch by inch and foot by foot he drew away
from his antagonist, until, rounding the stake
boat, he was a full ten lengths to the good.
Coming back, the representative of the Galves-
ton Rowing Club in his skiff, the Daniel
O'Leary, took things easily, knowing that,
like its namesake, he could walk away with
the race whenever he chose. Nearing the
linish, Crotty put on a slight spurt and crossed
the line an easy winner by two lengths and a
half in 21 minutes and 30 seconds.
The second race, between Hanlon (Hunter)
and Courtney (Hutchings,) over the same
course, was a surprise to the sporting men, for
Hanlon lost for the second time. At the
word <kgo," Hanlon, in his usual way, went at
once to the iront, but Courtney collared him
before Morgan's wharf was reached, and at
that point both shells were on even terms.
Nearing the stake-boat Hanlon had secured a
slight lead, and rounded the stake a full
ten lengths in &dvauce of his adversary, but
Courtney now spurted, and on the return he
captured his adversary and beat him in by a
length and a-half. No time given.
The race between Boyd and Trickett (Baker
and Wertham) was the event of the day and
proved to be an exciting contest from start to
finish. On the way down Loth boats raced on
level terms until nearly to the stake-boat
where Boyd secured a slight advantage and
turned two lengths in advance of the Austra-
lian. Stretching out for home, both men
seemed determined to take advantage of the
smooth water next to the wharves, and oppo-
site the Morgan steamer both were
"bow and bow." Here the struggle
commenced, and the light shells went dashing
along the waters like arrows, while the
wharves resounded with cries of, Go it,
Friekett! " 44 Go it, Boyd!" from their friends,
but the Australian was too much for the gen
tieman from Great Britain, and won by half a
length to the astonishment of all the rowing
men. This ended the day's sport, but other
races are on the tapis, and boating promises to
be once more popular in the island city
waters.
EMANCIPATION BAY.
Bolton's Garden the Scene of the Grand
Jabilee.
The fifteenth anniversary of emancipation
day was celebrated by the colored citizens of
Galveston,at Boiton's garden yesterday,on Cen-
ter street. The Lincoln Guards and fiagte fire
company No. 9 lett their places oi. rendezvous
at 11 o'clock, r>assing through the principal
streets, and marched to the garden to the in-
spiring strains of martial music, where the
programme as published was carried out. A
prayer was offered by the Rev. V. M. Cole,
which was followed by the reading of Abra-
ham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, by
Leon Turner. The orator oi the day, Joseph
Cuney, delivered the oration, which was well
received by the large crowd of colored people
assembled. He spoke of the advancement of
of the colored people to wealth and position,
and defended the colored delegates to the re-
publican convention in Chicago against the
charges of corruption. Spending of tne colored
fever of emigration he said:
'' Some prominent men of very respectable
authority have thought it better for our wel-
fare that we should be placed in some one of
the western territories, and they are supported
by some of our own prominent men, but I fail
to see anything specially commendable in the
movement, or desirable; besides it is anti-re-
publican to set aside any particular spot of
this country for any particular race, even if it
could be done; and thau it can not be done is
amply shown by our fatal attempts to protect
large Indian reservations. The same failure
would occur in our case, and that before we
had got well settled. People in this country
want to go anywhere they please, and that is
the birthright of all men, and should not be
taken from tham." He spoke of Germans in
this country attempting to found a govern-
ment within a government, and dwelt with
considerable feeiing upon Ireland and^her
woes, and said that the heartirfttifrfn^
condition of soma of the people of that
country was attributable to the geedy exac-
tions of landlords. Speaking of education, he
advised the colored people to educate their
children, not from what they expected from
them, but because it was their duty, and be-
cause knowledge is the key to ail things. He
then advised purity of life, purity of language,
and purity of body as required by the Creator,
as well as" by a proper sense of decency and
the laws of health.
This speech was well delivered, and elicited
marked attention for its common sense and
polish. Short addresses were then delivered
by Revs. J. A. Armstrong, R. P. Dorsev, D.
H. Shrivers, J. R. Loggins, and Robe." Mc-
Fhersons. The officers of the occasion were:
Calvin Lewis, president; Frank Miller, first
vice president; Robt. McPherson, second vice
president; Jos. Cuney, orator of the day;
Henry Bailinger, chairman committee of ar-
rangements: H. W. Shaw, chairman special
committee.
After the stated exercises, the colored peo-
ple enjoyed themselves until a late hour of the
night, end ng the fifteenth anniversary of
emancipation in a manner creditable to them
selves in all respects.
THE INSANE MEN.
A Visit to Their Cells in the ConvtT Jail
Friday's News contained a card from Mr.
Alex. Easton stating that an insane man had
been confined in the county jail for several
mouths, and was likely to remain there for
several years unless otherwise disposed of. Dr.
Towsey stated to a News reporter that the
man alluded to, although at one time he had
been very noisy, was now very quiet and
went wherever he pleased about the jail and
premises, at times doing light work. The
doctor made application to Dr. Saunders, su-
perintendent of the insane asylum, at Austin,
asking that this man be received, but the su-
perintendent said he had no further room for
insane patients, and could nofe receive him
until a vacancy occurred. On visiting the
jail the reporter found the insane man spoken
of in the cord. He was very quiet but anxious
to have his head felt, and seemed to desire an
excursion to some remote point in Texas.
A.though his mind wandered, the vagaries
that predominated were harmless and vision-
ary. On being asked his name, he
said it was George, and requested
that the reporter, whom he called
doctor,would please have him seut out to some
sylvan abode or to the penitentiary. He felt
satisfied that he could do very well in either of
these retreats. After beins told that sufficient
influence would be brought to bear to send him
to the penitentiary or an arcadian refuge, he
went iuto the bath room, kneeled down and
seemed to pray fervently. A few days ago ho
sent to Judge Williams the following note, in
his own handwriting:
Judge Wiij.la.ms, jud^e of Galveston County
Court: George Proti^al Sou would liice to g3t a
pass to go to Loxburgc*, im Arkansas, if it is a.^ree-
nole witii the committee. Judge \Viliiaais, George
P.-otigal Son would like to gj loBrashaer City, if it
is agreeable, and return.
Gto.ittrf Proti.tAL Son, the Heir.
On the lower left hand corner was a square
formed with pencil, and to the right of it was
written, " Christian bible."
The insane man who has been making night
hideous in and about the jail is colored, named
Dorsey, and was incarcerated only a few days
ago, on a charge of theft. On visiting Dorsey's
ceil, he was tound in a nude state, and as he
looked through tne bars his eyes glared like
those of a wild beast. He repeatedly said, 441
have found it," and with an index finger made
imaginary characters on the side of his cell.
The Jailer said that he felt satisfied that Dor-
sey's mind was not altogether right the
raement he entered the jail.
In an upper cell of the jail is another insane
person named John Shay. He is a white man,
and will not keep clothing on his person, aud
at. times is vei y noisy. Some of his acts, like
those of Dorsey, give palpable evidence that
His mind is entirely gone.

turn trip about the first of August. Mr. Las-

Coroner's Inquest.
Coroner R. D. Johnson yesterday held an
inquest on the body of Louis Hollis, on the
corner of avenue M and Twenty-ninth street.
The following evidence was heard:
Lizzie Haykxs sworn: I recognize the body
of deceased as that of Louis Hollis. I have
known him about seven years. He has been
living in this room [in the house on corner of
avenue M and Twenty-ninth streets! about two
years. I gave him the room tree of pay. The
last deceased had a doctor attending him was
some time last month. He went to see the doc-
tor. I do not know the doctor's name. Upon
his calling me I came inro his room, about 10
o'clock last night, (the 18th). He told me the
dogs were after him. aud requested me to
close the door of his room. I then returned to
my bouse, and did not see deceased again until
this morning, when I found him dead. Hehao
no person with him during the night. His
death was unexpected and sudden. I heard no
noise during the night.
Henry Hollis sworn: I recognize the body
before me as that of my brother, Louis Hollis.
I do not know his exact age, but it is. as near
as I know, somewhere between 20 and 30 years.
He has had no physician attending him as far
as I know. Do not kuow what kind of medi-
cine he used. I called to see him last night
about 8 o'clock. I asked him how he was. He
replied not to bother him, that he wanted to
sleep. I then left him and did not see him
again until this morning, 19th, when I found
him dead. He told me some time ago that the
doctor toid him he had symptoms of dropsy. 1
advised him to keep close in the house and not
expose himself. When I was here last night
he was apparently in good health, aud his
death was a surprise to me. He was, at times,
very intemperate. He was not intoxicated
when I was here last night. He was also sub-
ject to spasms.
The county physician, S. A. Towsey, after
examination of the body, gave the following
certificate:
44 1 have examined the body of Louis Hollis.
and, on examination, find that death was
caused from dropsical tendencies, superin-
duced from intoxication and general emacia-
tion from want of proper nourishment and
medical attention."
The verdict was rendered in accordance
with the evidence and the certificate of countv
physician, that deceased came to his deatii
from dropsy, superinduced by intoxication
and general emaciation, and from want of pro-
per nourishment and medical attention.
Picnic of Washington Fire Co. No. 1.
Washington Steam Fire company No. 1 was
organized on the 13th day of March, 1S47,
when hand-engine3 were the or.ier of the day.
At the breaking cut of the 4* late unpleasant-
ness" the companj" was disorganized, and
was not again placed on a fire looting utitii
1805, when it was reorganized to rr.au a hand-
engine purchased at the expense of the city.
In March of the following year the members
concluded to purchase a Silsbey steamer of
the third class, which proved to be of first-
class service in the subsequent fires that
occurred. In June, 1877, at the big fire o
that time, she was rendered worthless, aud it:
the December following the company pur-
chased another steamer, of the second" class,
made by JelTers &, Co., of Bridgeport, Conn.,
which they received on the Sth of June, 1S78,
and which has been in service ever since.
Yes tarda v was the occasion of their annual
picnic, and the screwmsn, forming at their
hall, headed by the Lone Star band, marched
to the hall of the company, who: ? they wer*
joined by the members of \Vashincton No. 1
and Hook and Ladder No. 1. Fro -i here tin-
route of the procession was up Turnout to av«
nue O, from thtnee to Twenty-first street, aud
frcm there to Schmidt's garden. During thr
afternoon the attendance was very light, anti
the fire laddies amused themselves by throw
iusr sticks at aunt S «llii and kindred spor.s.
The pedestrians in the twenty-four-hour con-
test were started off procisely at 0 o'clock, th
entries being Magee. Smith, Wilson, 44 4 foot-
4." Sedgewick, Johnson, Helfenstene and
Humbug. At the word 44go,'' ell of them
started at a run, Helfenstein scoring the firs
lan in advance of the rest. At the end of thr
first hour the scDre was as follows: Ma
5 miles; Smith, 4 miles 8 laps; Wilsoi ^
miles 10 lap*: Four-foot-four, 5 mile ; -e
wick. 4 miles 4 laps; JoLinso «. 4 miles 7 1 vps:
Helfenstein, 4 miles 9 laps; Himbug, .">
miles 1 lap.
During the evening none of the men sieme ■
to be particularly exerting themselves, though
it was whispered on the grounds that Humbug
would show them how to go-as-you-please be
tween midnight and daylight, and, indeed, t >
look at them, he was by all odds the : Asist ap
pearing traveler on the track. At 11 o'clock
the score stood: Magee, ::2 miles 8 laps: Smith,
'il miles 0 lap*; Wilson, 2o miles 3 laps; Four-
foot-four, 17 miles 7 laps; Sedg^wick. 20 miios
6 lans; Johnson, 19 miles 5 lap-
Helfenstein, IS miles 9 laps; Humbug, 24 miles
1 lap. All of the men at that time appeared to
be in good condition, and all were traveling
easily. The ladies' match, to be started at ii
p. m. to-day, together with the twenty-four-
hour walk, will make the garden an interest-
ing place to visit.

The Fire Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a fire
broke out in the second story of the Americau
house, situated on Market street, between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh, the same
originating in a pile of furniture and bedding
stored under the stairway. Officer Ben Irei-
son was close at hand when the inmates iir.-t
gave the alarm, and though word was at once
sent to the engine-bouse of No. 3, ho had ex-
tinguised the flames before the firemen arrived
upon the scene. No bells were rung.

Galveston, June is.—It would appear that
the duties of our scavenger carts have been en-
tirely surrendered to the buzzards in the west
end, as for several days past they have infest-
ed the streets in ail directions. They are sure
indices of localities in which the zealous mor-
tuary work (among the curs of high and low
degree) has been accomplished by our police-
men. Let the health inspectors aud scavenger
carts take heed of these winged scavengers sins
hot weather.
The chief of police is properly particular
about enforcing Abe ordinance relative to citi-
zens cleaning up their premises and divesting
their sidewalks of weeds, etc. Would it not be
entirely consistent, therefore, that public
school premises, with yards and sidewalks over-
grown with rank vegetation, be promptly
cleaned up by the corporation gang or street
squadf
If the board of health are as sincereljndesir-
ous as their actions would indicate to place our
city in a thorough sanitary condition, would
it not be advisable for inspectors of premises
to take along supplies of disinfectants aad ap-
ply, or leave them with householders whose
Brivies, slop-holes and putrefying trash need
ieir immediate application ? Such are told
where they can get tbem, and intend, often, to
do so, but inconvenience, want of time, dr for
getfillness, too frequently cause the applica-
tion of disinfectants at the proper time, to be
entirely overlooked.
There was a cock fight in Windsor last Sun-

oinnta Saturday Night,
Defense of Free Thought by an Ag-
nostic.
LTo the News.]
I have read a pamphlet recently published
in this city, styled A Defense of Free Thought,
being a protest and reply to a lecture delivered
in tbe Galveston opera-house, May 13, 1880, by
the Rev. G. W. Brisrgs. The little work has
been ushered into the world in a very modest
and humble manner, without acknowledged
parentage or even the notico of a critic.
It appears to me it is deserving of more at-
tention, for while the author may not have ad-
vanced any new theories, or furnished addi-
tional arguments on the subject of 44 free
thought," he has certainly grouped together in
harmonious accord very many of the most
punsrent and brilliant ideas of the great men
of all ages who have written on the subject,
and has couched his language in such tern
perate style as must command the attention of
every impartial reader. His definition of mo-
rality, as distinguished from religion, is not
only interesting in style, but also forcible in
its logical deduction, aud will well repay the
catefulReader. The subjoined shows some-
thing of the authors style:
Morality aad religion having both originated in
the ways indicate 1—the one from the necessary
wants or man in connection with his feiiow or
from his social relatious, the other from his con-
tact with nature and liis natural desire to be pro-
tected from her terrors—it is plain to see that both
would grow and develop from these primordial
;erms, as the stare of society improved, and tiie
utiesof each individual increased with it. and as
the knowledge of nature and her laws increased.
They are both alike, then, in respect thai they are
both progressive, neither moral nor religious ideas
remaining exactly the same in a community where
every tiling else w subject to change Like each
other, in anotner i ts.»ect, they both manifest a
tendency to impr ve as civilization and a
knowledge of nature inv roves. Both
require teachers; though, to a* iai-ge extent,
he teaenhigs of morality have been
monopolized by the teachers ot religion; hen^v,
the incoagruo is a ssemblage of right o;; wrong
moral ideas and religious e.notions formulated in
dosrmas which we see going t> make up what is
caded a religion. The teachers of tuis latter gen-
erally contend t.iat all the improvement which so-
ciety lias made in rigut morale la knowledge and
in correct views of mature, is due to th -ir te uh
iij*rs. Bat the persecutions to wldcii men ot sci-
ence, no mattar how pure their nigral life, have
been subjected, refute this claim. T. e teachers of
religion have generally heen tne last tor*accept rh •
r .-vei uiens of science wlun in conflict with some

i«K the world betcer and brighter by their labors.
I deem it a mistake on the author's part to
burden tho title of his work with the weight of
" Being a ropiy to a lecture tielivpred on May
13, TNl, at the Galveston opera-house, by the
Rev. G. bnggs." it gives to tho work a
local signiricance which is far beneath its real
merit.
Most of people have a distaste for reading
the matter evolved in religious controversy,
and properly argue life is too snort" to in-
dulge in that character of literature. It may
interest the personal frieuds of the parties
making the issue, out unless they be of national
repute the number thus interested is neces-
sarily stnaiJ.
This book which the writer alludes to is de-
serving -jz a better fate than that, and in my
estimation will command attention very far
outside our city limits.
Whoever the author may be, it is quite clear
he is a careful student, an able reasoiier, with
the happy faculty of conveying his ideas iu a
clear and concise manner. j.
LTo the News.l
The author of the recent lecture on infidelity
could hardiy have been aware of the extent to
which minds in our own community have gone
in unbelief. His more recent publication,
however, continues to invite controversy.
There is now before the public a pamphlet in
reply to that lecture entitled A Defense of Free
Thought, by an A-gnostic, in which the writer
certainly maintains his positions with convinc
iirg force and clearness, and advances sonic
interesting ideas on the nature and oriirin of
morals aud religion, together with some specu-
lations on the immortality of the soul. It is
throughout a be iutiful anil powerful plea for
harity and toiera ion, and an apnea: for the
zeroise of thought in matters of speculative
belief which will constitute a landmark in cur-
rent lierai ure.
An Agnostic, whoever he may be, is evi-
dently a careful student of the thinkers of our
time, and in s\*mpathv with those 4'choice and
masterspirits." In these pages the general
reader, while being charmed by a style of ele-
gant ease and simplicity, w.ll be greatly en-
lightened iu regard to some of those ideas
which permeate tho world of thought and
learning iu this latter quarter of the nineteenth
century—here presented by our unknown
.vriter so clearly as to satisfy the plainest un-
lorstanding. As a defense of free thought ami
•elief, and free action based thereon, and as
an expression of the views of that numerous
class of thinkers who neither aliirm nor deny
the existence of a God nor the iife beyond the
grave, but who do deny the authenticity of
the bibie, the divinity of Christ and the claims
of religion, this book can be commended to all
who vaiue liberty and who desire to think and
investigate for themselves.
Free thought iu thedomaiuof politics has di-
vorced the King and the priest. It has trodden
under foot the 44 divine rights of kings" and
established a government of the i>eople, by
the people, for the people. In philosophy and
riutural science it has blessed mankind by giv-
ing him ail that he knows, and in its light na-
ture and truth will be revealed. It is a fact—
just as magnetic attraction is a fact—that
whatever man may know about himself, his
origin or his destiny, the universe around him,
what has been, what is, and what is to be, is
only acquired through the exercise of reason,
it is eviaeutly a law of nature that what man
knows must be evolved from his own brain
aud experience, and is not given him Dy super-
natural means.
Faiths in doctrines and beliefs in traditions
may comfort an I stay, but has not tho neces-
sity for them come from the fears of igno-
rance and superstition i He who fears can not
reason. Let us not fear. Let us hope.
He who defends free thought is a defender
of men. He who by force attempts to restrict
the thoughts and beliefs of men to his own
conception of what is true is an enemy of lib-
erty and progress.
It may be moustrous for a man to express
unbelief in another's conception of a God or a
book, but is it uot more monstrous still to pre-
vent his free expression of thac belief?
In the great conflict between reason and
superstition, the unbeliever wishes for no
dungeon and halter for his opponent. He has
the courage of conviction. He has an abiding
confidence that 44 truth is mighty and will pre-
vail." He knows that he is honest and that he
seeKs only the highest goc»d for all. He hopes
that the mask will be torn from all falsehood,
and that all that is true aud beautiful and
good will be known. He believes that with
knowledge and reason as his guides man will
move satelv and happily on iu his upward
course, and that the laws of nature will be
L Jiciiied, regardless of ail eartmy hopes or
fears. Loxglnus.
Religious Toleration.
ITo the News.l
Crockett, June 17.—The recent dissertation
of Rev. Air. Briggs, of your city, has evident-
ly created a commotion in tbe religious circles
of Texas. Like Byron, that young divine has
found himself famous " in a single night." 1
apprehend that the more liberal and compre-
hensive minds of the age will not indorse, ab-
solutely, the sentiments embodied in that
semi-superb production. Mr. Br iggs is repu-
ted to be a young man of considerable natural
abilities, in connection with a high degree of
scholarly attaiument, and it is essentially a
matter of grave perplexity, when a review" of
history is made, both mpdern and ancient, that
the young man should exhibit so inexorable a
spirit and such manifest animosity towards
other individuals, whose reflections up-
on the bibie should be somewhat
at variance with his. If the fires of a heated
indignation are to be visited upon the head of
Ingersoil because he is refr actory in accepting
the authenticity of the scriptures, and the
tenets of the church orthodox, by the same
reasomug m ght anathemas be hurled as vehe-
mently at the erudite crauiums o£ the great
scientists of the day, and they, too, would pass
through the galling ordeai of *4 the halter aud
the dungeon." We do not, nor do thousands
of intlligent gentieni^n throughout this coun-
try and nation, accept the bombastic utter-
ances Col. Ingersoll in deriance of the
christian religion; but we have yet to come in
contact with an assertion of his so incendiary
in its nature that invites from a respectable
portion of humanity who chance to differ
from him upon the" subject of Christianity,
•• the halter and the dungeon." Americans
boast of their civilization, aud revert to the
blood and patriotism of the. founders of the
government in condemnation of intolerance,
l he oppressed in ail lands, who are held in re-
ligious serfdom, lind wlchin the pale of tuis
nation, and in the heart of her constitution,
a preservation of religious proclivities
guaranteed, and the late idea o? Mr. Briggs is
not in consonance with the-letter and spirit of
our organic law. Sue. torpedoes tossed from
the pulpit or rostrum, can trom no standpoint
elevate the plane of an exemplary religion,but,
on the contrary, stir and rekindle the embers
ot animosity among other denominations.
There will never be unity of thought or action
in the world upon any great issue involving
man's condition after the existence of the phys-
ical life; and if any man entertains the belief
that a special revelation has been made to
him, he should exhibit q. greater gratitude for
such wonderful favoritism, than to consign
the less fortunate and less favored of God's
creatures, " to the halter and the dungeon."

1 Special Correspondence of the News.]
Washington, June 13, 1880.—By tbe time
this letter reaches the News congress will
have adjourned, unless some unforeseen occur-
rence or unexpected developments take place
to prevent it. Many senators and members
will leave here this week for Cincinnati. Even
at this early day the managers and friends of
the different candidates are leaving, in ord^F
to be on the field and get comfortably settled,
so they may be ready to receive the delega-
tions as they arrive to canvass and calculate
the strength and prospects of their favorites.
The result of the Chicago convention has so
elated democrats here that thev feel every
assurance of victory. All are confident of de-
feating Garfield, *4 if the democrats at Cincin-
nati do not make d d fools of themselves."
as many remark. This now se?ms to be the
only apprehension, and, as we have had so
many past examples and precedents of the
truthfulness of the above remark, some un-
easiness is felt in regard to the actiou of the
Cincinnati convention. However, barring
bJtmders, sellishness and other misfortunes
which have been characteristic of soma of the
democratic party since the war, there will be
a democratic president to occupy the seat Mr.
Hayes now fills. With prudence, patience,
patriotism and honesty at Cincinnati, success
is assured. But will the delegates who are
sent there by the people possess these qualifi-
cations.' Will they be actuated by pure mo-
tives for the good of the country and the
party, or will they use the trust confide*! to
them for selfish, personal advancement and
individual interest*! This ;euiaius to be seen,
and 011 this depends the success or defeat of
the democratic party iu the national election.
Many of the Grant men are ouispnken in
expressions of their disgust at the Chicago
nomination. 1 remarked to-day to one of his
leaders in the recent convention, 4* ^ww^tock
disappointed over the nomination fy He an
swr?rei,4,D—n it, don't use the word disappoiuC-
e l—say disgusted.'' Some of them appear to
accept the result as well as they can, but even
those who Eeom satisfied are soie under their
jackets. Yesterday I saw Don Cameron and
Uaa Voorhees riding to get i.e.* in a carriage,
and when they drove up to the Ebb.tt I walked
out and spoke to them. Cameron occasionally
expresses him-eif regarding the deieat of
Graut. Voorhees seemed to be enjoying the
nomination, and thinks,with th9 nomination of
a good man, we are sure of victory. Cameron
though polite and affable, sat cool and grim,
and indicated by his looks that he did not care
whether Garhetd was vlected or not. One
things is certain, that he will notjpendany
money In Pennsylvania in b*nalfof tne repub-
lican nominees. Heretofore he has been lavish
in his expenditures for republican success in
his state. He has paid no attention to the
chairmanship of the repubiicau national com-
mittee, and has made no effort to resume his
position as chairman. In fact, the other day
when asiied if he wanted it again he remarket:
44 They can t»tke it and go to u—1 with it I" It
may be news to some to hear that great men
swear, yet thiy do, aud many are accomplish-
ed in the art. Logan is a twenty-two carat
gem in tnis line. Chandler could 44cuss'' loud-
er and longer and with iess grace tbeu his
brother senators. Cameron swears with niv<re
4race thin Logan. Conklimc takes his out. in
bitter, classic, polished sarcasm. Carpenter
uses adjectives similar to Cameron, but gives
them more of a technical and legal bearing.
Garfield is a Campbeilite, christian statesman,
aad is. accused of stealing, but net of swearing.
The latter oiFense or br.bic would make him
unpopular with Hayes. Bob Ingersoll swears
a little, but in a polished and amusing man
uer. Bob is never at a loss for words, ami fn
his eloquence and se'ectiou of beautiful lan-
guage has 110 occasion to ring in " curse
words " as others do to connect sen'cnces and
give them more force and expression. In pri-
vate character Iugersoll is onj of the m st
elegant gentlemen, a kind father and devoted
hit; baud; a true friend, a generous, goo 1 neigh-
bor, and a man whose k.ndness of heart l:as
never denied or forgotten the appeals of
charity. However his v.ews and ideas in re-
ligion have made him the ob ect of many se-
VfV$ attacks from the clergy. Aside from 1»-
rs advocacy of and belief' m'TirfifWIirv. tt
would be well for many men who hs?ar chris-
tian reputations to emulate tbe personal traits,
charitable acts, and private characteristics of
the man.
Well, tho reason I mention Iugersoll is that
at Chicago the Blaine managers wanted him
to present Blaine's name before the conven-
tion, but feared the policy of selecting the pa-
ganprince to present the name of their fa-
vorite. They concede his sj>eech in nominating
Blaine four years ago at Cincinnati, in which
he gave him the appellation of the 41 plumed
knight," was the grandest and most beautiful
piece of oratory ever heard in a convention.
But at Chicago the New England puritaus sup-
porting Edmunds and the Ohio Campbellites
were tuere as delegates, and the litaiue man-
agers feared that to request the able and ac-
complished infidel to present their man to the
convention would provoke the opposition of
these sanctimonious delegate■?, manv of whom
were afterward bought at two hundred
dollars per head. They knew that Jngersoll
would have made the grandest speech of the
convention for Blaine, but feared tho name of
iugersoll might create a panic among the re-
ligious delegates. So. instead of getting him
to nominate Blaine and make the speech in
his favor, they concluded the best plan was to
buy up the aforesaid delegates. 'Politicians
are mighty good judges of human nature.
They suspected (a mild word) that the came
of Iugersoll weuid stampede the iSew England
puritans ana the class leaders of Ohio, but felt
that a little money would bring them into the
fold, and convince them that they had done
their duty. Garfield is a sort of a preacher,
makes speeches at scnutzenfests, prays in pub-
lic, preaches occasionally, and is mixed up in
all the big steals that have gone through con-
gress since the war. When the democrats
bring his corrupt record before the country,
what a grim satisfaction it will be to Conklmg
to defend him. Conkling is facetious enough
to take pleasure in this behalf. He will afford
himself great satisfaction in it. and no doubt
will put himself in the attitude of defending a
client who had been guilty of theft or robbery.
Garfield's record will be vigorously assailed,
aud no one will take more delight in mak-
ing an elaborate defense than Conk-
ling, but it will be done in such a face-
tious, wicked, sarcastic style, that it will be
really cruel iu Conkling to" do it. Washburne
to-day stands as the most contemptible man
seeking prominence in America. Grant's friends
despise him—Blaine's backers have no use for
him, and the Sherman men consider him a
traitor to his friend Grant. In lact he is, in
the opinion of all, the Judas Iscariot of Ameri-
can politics. From expressions here, there is
no', a republican leader who would trust Wash-
burne within twenty feet of his pocketbook.
It w as supposed that he was the idol of the
Germans—for his course in the Franco-Prus-
sian war, or his treatment of German citizens
in Paris. The Grant, Blaine and Sherman
men here now all say that he started to run
away freni Paris, and telegraphed Grant that
he intended to leave till the siege was over,
and that Grant telegraphed and commanded
him to remain there to protect American in-
terests, American citizens and German-Ameri-
cans, and had it not been for Grant's impera-
tive orders he would have left Paris for safer
quarters. Upon the reputation he made by
orders from Grant he was thought an availa-
ble man for the nomination. He got left both
as the nominee for president and vice presi-
dent, and is now called by Grant's friends the
Judas Iscariot of American politics.
Col. Tom Ochiltree arrived yesterday, and
having been an enthusiastic supporter of
Grant, exhibits disgust at the result. I took
dinner with Tom this evening at Johnny
Chamberhn's elegant club-house restaurant,
and over a few bottles cf extra dry Mumm
listened to his polished rhetorical elaborations
on the defeat of the 44 silent soldier." Tom did
not differ much in his expressions from Lo?an
and Cameron, except that he uses his adjec-
tives which are represented with a with
more grace and more polished effect than the
above senators. He says that within the next
two years the whole republican party will be
on their knees begging Grant to accept the
nomination for 18*54, and gives this reason,
viz., that the democrats will have a walk over
iu the coming election, and that no man can be
elected by the republicans except Grant, heuce
in the next race they will beg him to be their
standard-bearer. Major Piumiy also got back
in good health, but feeling sore over the defea:
of tbe ex-president.
It .46 amusing to see the comments of Euro-
pean papers on the nomination. A London
paper, iu speaking of the nomination of Gar-
field, says tuat Garfield is descended from an
illustrious American family, being the brother
of Cyrus Field aud David Dudley Field. Some
think over there that Gar is the first name and
Field the surname. The eminent justice of the
supreme court, Stephen Field, now a promi-
nent favorite for the democratic nomination,
is the brother of the two above illustrious
Americans, and all three, 110 doubt, would feel
mortified to hear that people iu England think
Ganield a brother o: theirs.
The News corrected, by special, the error
contained in associated press dispatch in the
item of amount appropriated for Galveston.
The amount was f175,000 instead of &?5,0UU.
By a clerical e-iror or omission the press
dispatch Lrot it $75,000. The corps of
representatives of the associated press
here are men of energy and capaci-
ty, and in their many great labors it is not
wondered that in a few instances a mistake of
a figure is made. However, they seldom make
mistakes, even in the smallest matters. The
error made in stating $75,000 instead of $175,-
000 most likely occurred from the peculiar
reading of the bill. _

Benediction.
The opera-house was crowded with an intel-
ligent audience from Marshall, Jefferson and
Longview.
The annual address by W. T. Armistead,
Esq., of Jefferson, partner of Hon. D. B. Cul-
berson, was a happilv conceived and well de-
livered production. Its closing passages are
worthy giving in full, as they elicited wide
and favorable comment:
In conclusion 1 have a few suggestions to
{ submit for jwr reflection; you are now about
to step forth from the shrine of your alma
mater out into tbe great and mighty world.
With the telescope of memory you will often
recall the scenes and hallowed associations of
your college life. It was here that you first
wandered through the Acropolis of learning,
and listened to the oracles of wisdom. Here
you have moved thtough a world in miniature,
with your heart a boundless prairie. Over it
the stars flung their mellowed radiance, the
sun threw his broad sheet of light upon it to
wake and warm it into life and beauty,
and eut of its bosom grew, year by year, my-
riad flowers, interblended with rainbow hues,
twining together their lovely leaflets and waft-
ing to each other in gratefui innocence a con
fidential perfume. L pon that heart and your
future may the hot siroccos of disappointment
and misfortune never come.
Beautiful is the Arabian legend to the effect
that the Creator first made man and then made
woman, and out of the materials left after she
was finished he made the flowers. It behooves
you, then, to cherish the geraniums, aud to
mingle the tears of your sympathy with tne
dews of heaven upon the" rosobuds, for they
are your kindred. Shed the fragrance of
life, light aud love wherever you move.
Now that your title of graduation is won
and your diploma is within the reach of your
grasp, your true mission on earth begins—not
at the ballot-box, nor in the hails of legislation:
not upon the hustings nor in the battle's proud
array ought you to employ those graces
aad charms of' nature with which you were
endowed by the beneficence of of your Maker.
It rather becomes you to sing songs at tho
marriage feasts and the vintage ingatherings;
to heave sighs of loving and being loved: to
encourage tne wavering, cheer the brave, and
weave chaplets and immortelles of glory to tee
worthy and the good.
In all ages of the world modesty h is been
the talisman of woman. With it she sways
•cinjures and changes the map of nations. Who
has ever been insensible to her.tnagic power or
playful tenderness? What conqueror has she
not co.iquered? What philosophers, in all the
plenitude of their wisaom, have ever learned
t > hate her? The Egvtian priest, the Athenian
sage, the Roman censor and the rude Gaul have
c ll do wed at, her feet. The Occident and the
orient have worshiped with idolatry in her
tcmpie. And it did not matter whether she
wore a crown or served as a cup-bearer t > ty-
rants, the eternal giorv of hei purity has shed
a lus er on the deeds of men aud illumined the
recesses of the giobe.
Home is your empire—the heart of man your
dwelling-place. In the great battle of lifeman
is called on to act in a w ider-field. His finger
of science may reverse the wheels of nature,
stretch a w re along which hii thoughts may
rfash under the waves of che deep, or constiuct
a gla<3 to explore the immensity of the stai-s:
but uothmg can bring him happiness equal to
exquisite touch of woman's solicitude.

HOUSTON HAPPENINGS.
CITY COUNCIL.
All the board were present at the meeting
this afternoon except alderman Shaw.
A communication was road from W. H.
Crank, reciting the history of the quarantine
cases of last year, wherein the Glass boys and
Charles Miller were fined for obstructing
United States mails in tbe discharge of their
duty as orficers. Maj. Crank asked the action
of the council at once. The amounts of costs
ara in the case of John R. Glass, #77 70; Charles
Miller, $531)4; W. W. Glass, $67 35.
Mr. Clev?land spoke brieRy, urg'ng that the
council take the matter in band and settle the
charges at once. These men acted for the city
of Houston, and «hoqld be protected. He
moved a -p^ul committee o? ihre**be appoint-
ed. with p w »r to a t at once. This was car-
ried, and Messrs. Clove him!, Allen and Ken-
nedy were appointed on a:d committee.
Messrs. Crank & Weob fi ei a claim fo^$15'*,
for services rendered in defending Messrs*
Mill 1* ami Glass, and asked its eariy considera-
tion, stating they wouid be willing to acce; t
tho i m n;nt r-tattd if paid at once, orherwi e
they would demand full fee—*ay $1X0. Ibis
wasrefcrre I to the finance comm ttee.
-recorder Maydole filed a petition asVfng
for pa y inent of salary, which was referred t^»
the finance committee, as was also the peti-
tion of Frank Kelan, ex-janitor.
A communication from Stuart, Larendon &
Bovles, offering to sell the infirmary or renew
their contract for the care of indigent sick,
was referred to the hospital committ 'e.
The reports of the following committees, to
wit: finance, market, police, recommending
the reduction of the account of ex-city mar-
shal John F. Morris, from 6J to $108 63;
street and bridge, fire department, favorably
on allowing Protection company No. 1 $40 per
month from this date, and opposing petition of
ladies of Shearn church; hospital, recommend-
ing, use of portion of pest-house pronertyfor
hgBgrpurposes; board of appraismenfc; health
o/JTcer, showing eighteen deaths for past two
weeks, were received and adopted, ex<^ept that
of the fire committee on the petition of the
ladies of Shearn church, which was sent to the
ordinance committee.
This ck-sed the reports, and the ordinance
amending the scavenger ordinance, referred to
in yesterday's News, was brought up. Jud^e
Thomas moved its reference to the ordinance
committee, aud argued against its adoption.
Its reference to the ordinance committee was
ordered by a vote of 8 to 1.
The mayor brought up tbe recommendation
of the board of health in the matter of em-
pl >ying an extra force to clean out ditches, cut
down weeds and grass, etc., and ask* * ' "
tion o? the council.
Dr. Rutherford, by request, spoke to the
point, stating mainly the facts given before the
h«altli board vest erday. A running cross-fire
of words occurred here between tho health
officer and alderman Waldo, the main question
being whether twelve men could in ten days
put the city in good sanitary condition. Both
£»greed that they could not. and a motion was
finally passed employing the twelve men for
such a time as the mayor may think necessary.
Adjourned.

Mr. W. H. Loyd, of this city, has just re-
turned from a visit to Silver Cliff, Colorado.
While in the land of weaith he fpqgii^a
thorough investigation of the leading wftras
now under progress and possessed himself of
specimens of ore therefrom. He was a doubt-
ing Thomas before he went, but returns con-
verted to the faith. Of the Ploth Pedras and
Chloride mining companies he spoke in glow-
ing terms. In the latter the John Hand has
been worked down to a depth of 100 feet, at
which point sulphate of iron was reached. Tbe
process of deepening is going steadily on. He
thinks that the two companies named above
are in the center of a circle of immense
wealth, to develop which requires nothing
more than time and energy. One claim, lying
within a very short distance from the first
named, was bonded the day before his depar-
ture for $120,000, and by each stage capitalists
are coming in to prospect and invest.
brevities. <
Sheriff Noble and deputy John Fant return-
ed this morning from Caldwell, in Burleson
county, having in chargre B. T. Rigsby and
Joe Hormsby, who are charged with theft of
horses in this county. They were placed in
jail to await indictment. They have the repu-
tation of being hard cases.
City marshal Charles Wichman arrested a
man named George Avery this morning on a
warrant from Orange county, charging him
forgery. He, too. was jailed."
Early this morning a seven-year old child of
Mr. William Dissen was run over on Mam
street by a passing vehicle and badly, though
not fatally injured. Only a year ago a child
was lolled in this identical manner, and the
fact that this morning tho driver of the vehicle
did not stop shows just" how much weight is
attached to the action of the law in cases of
reckless driving, or injuries received thereby.
At the time of the killing referred to there was
a big hubbub, but in a few weeks it had incon-
tinently disappeared, and to-day case No. 2
from the same cause is presented. The atten-
tion of the board of aldermen is respectfully
asked to this matter, with the hope that their
consideration of it will be productive of some
good.
Holland lodge holds its annual election next
Wednesday evening. Thursday (St. Johns
day l will be celebrated moderately among the
masons.
A large crowd will go from here to White-
oak to-morrow to attend the schuetzen verein
festivities. It promises to be the candidate*'
paradise.
Six cars of stock passed through to-day for
the Morgan line to New Orleans.
Jim Sbeiton, charged with the murder of
Snyder, the Brazoria ferryman, arrested here
last night, wdl bo taken bacx Monday. He
protests his innocence.
The young man Cecil Young, who was shot
a few days ago in Brazoria county, is said to
be in a fair way to recover.
Seven marriages and nine deaths are report-
ed for this week.
The News some time since contained an ar-
ticle referring to the good work of the H. aud
T. C. in arranging through rates for emigrants
to this country from Europe. In pursuance
of the spirit there expressed, the com-
pany has had prepared a superb
map, showing their railway and
steamship line connections, together with the
states 011 this side travsrsed, and the countries
on the other side of the water from which
emigration comes. They have also caused to
l»e sketched something like 150 interesting
points along these lines, which they propose
to have lithographed. These sketches are
from the pencil of Prof. Carl Zeus, and are
true and faithful returns of the scenery of our
state. One has no idea how much of land-
scape beauty we have in Texas, until he sees
it as depicted by the eyes of an artist, such as
is Prof. Zeus.
emancipation day.
Emancipation day was celebrated more
largely than ever before. It is estimated that
between five and seven thousand persons were
on the grounds. The best of order preveile i,
not a single fight occurring up to 12 o?clock.
Exercises opened with an address by Cbaries
Fergusou. Prayer by Rev. C. IV. Porter.
Speeches were made by C. C. Deane, L. L.
James elder Luitt, Richard Allen, elder Wat-
son and J. J. Watsoa. The colored people are
greatly elated over the success and good man-
agement of their celebration.
