COJSfKLIN&S SPEECH.
To say that Mr. Conkling's opening speech
of the campaign was characteristic, is to
Bay that it was equally virulent and vigor-
ous. In this speech president Ilayes re-
ceives an implied reprimand and Garfield
a mere complimentary mention, presumably
for the sake of decorum, while Arthur, the
" fruit and promise of his failing fold," is
exalted to the skies for all virtues as a citi-
zen, and for all excellences as u statesman.
Of all men in the United States who could
be nominated for the vice-presiden-
cy, there was one who was pre-eminent-
ly objectionable to Mr. Hayes,
and that was Chester A. Arthur,
the man he had turned out of offioe in dis-
grace. By surrendering to the pompous
statesman the right to name a candidate for
the vice presidency, the opportunity was
afforded him to retaliate on his antagonists,
and Mr. Arthur came to be the candidate.
After this Mr. Ounkling sulked in his tent
until republican discomfiture secured him
attention from his own anomalous position.
To him, as a party leader, who is satisfied
•with nothing short of autocracy in leader-
ship, Blaine's defeat in Maine was a victory.
Whatever Mr. Conkling may have thought
of the removal of Gen. Arthur for his oppo-
sition to Mr. Hayes's plan of civil service re-
form, the country was pleased with the
removal. Mr. Conkling was not, however,
and he has this to say of president Hayes,
evidently in reference to that event:
A candidate, if he be an honest, genuine man,
will not seek and accept a party nomination to
the presidency, vice presidency or congress,
and after he is elected become a law unto him-
self. Few things are more despicable than first
to secure elevation at the hand* of a party, and
then, in the hope of winning pretentious non-
partisan applause, to affect superior sanctity,
and meanly to imply that those whose support
and confidence were eagerly and deferentially
sought are wanting in purity, patriotism, or
some other title to respect.
This can hardly be construed as an in-
dorsement of Garfield, who has sustained
throughout the policy of president Hayes,
but, as before intimated, Conkling is the
great autocratic spirit of his party, a spirit
■which includes all in the common category
of foes who do not yield implicit subservi-
ence to his designs. Mr. Hayes did not do
this in the celebrated Arthur case, and the
implacable Conkling finds nothing genuine,
honest or patriotic in Mr. Hayes or his
administration. As for the rest of his
Speech it is a studied and laborious tirade
against the south. In denunciation, dispar-
agement, impeachment of the south, he
exhausts every resource of rhetoric, every
trick of sophistry and every artifice of mis-
representation. He perverts statistics to
exhibit southern backwardness and defi-
ciency in products, in oommerce and in
education, and holds up the false picture as
an evidence that it would be rash, disastrous,
and hardly less than high treason to permit
the south, by lawful means, to obtain control-
ling influence in the national government.
It is to be conceded that in a few of the
southern states the progress of education
might and should be better, but southern
school systems, unlike those of the north,
are as yet mostly inchoate or experimental,
and they will be sure to improve with time. In
relation to commercial statistics Mr. Conk-
ling is glaringly disingenuous. Knowing,
as he must know, that the commerce of the
United States as regards distributive pro-
cesses and exchange with foreign countries
falls mainly to the nerth, he would have it
believed that the south contributes but little
to the support of the government because
the foreign goods it imported last year
amounted to only $15,984,391. while upwards
of $800,000,000 worth of foreign goods was
imported by the north, the moert of which was
reciprocal to the exportation of southern
produce. The duties on goods are paid by
the consumer, and not by the importer or
distributor. In the case of silks and bro
cades, which, though imported in New York,
are purchased for wear in the south, the
southern people pay the importer the reve
nue which he paid at the custom-house.
However, it is hardly necessary to expose a
deceptious arrangement of statistics which
Mr. Conkling himself only employs for ef-
fect as a stalwart and uncompromising sec
tional partisan. As a politician his hopes
are bound up in the agitation
of the question of ascendency be
tween the north and the south as the
supreme'issue in national politics, and as
political morality goes he is not to be cir
cumscribed by strict rules of veracity in
statement or of honesty in argument. But it
may oe doubted that such aspeech is calculated
to strengthen republican stalwartism or im
prove the prospects of the republican presi
dential ticket. We suspect that there
more in it to alarm northern conservatism
for the peace and tranquillity of the country,
than to fire the northern heart against the
bugbear of southern ascendency obtained by
the election to the presidency of a general
who won his fame by his prowess and ef-
ficiency in crushing the southern confederacy
—against the vision of the soul of Lee or of
Jeff Davis enthroned and omnipotent in the
person of Hancock!
ELECTRICITY FOR LIGHT AND MO-
TIVE POWER.
The North American Review for October
contains an article on the success of the
electric light from the pen of the famous
electrician, Thomas A. Edison. In this ar-
ticle Mr. Edison takes issue with the
'weight of scientific opinion," which has
inclined toward declaring the utilization of
electric light, as a convenient and economi-
cal substitute for gaslight, " a failure, an im-
practicability, and based on fallacies.. He
holds that with the lamp and generator
which he proposed to use at the time of his
first announcement that the way was open
for the utilization of electric light, electricity
could have been made available for illumi-
nating power as gas is now, and at consider-
ably less expense. Since then, he says,
many essential modifications have been
effected in the direction of economy and
simplicity. He claims, in fact, that
the limit of simplicity, practical efficiency
and economy has been reached.
Au important modification of the system is
the substitution of dynamo-machines for
magneto-machines in the stations whence
the electricity is to be supplied. This does
away with much cumbrous machinery and
insures a gain of power. Another improve
ment is in the substitution for the compact
carbon of a loop of carbon made of bamboo
wood with a life, in ordinary use, of about
six months. Mr. Edison claims for his elec-
tric light, as a substitute for gas light, that
it is purer, cheaper, non-vitiating to the at-
mosphere, of a more uniform quality, and
that by its use the danger of fire is re-
duced to nil, with a consequent reduction
in the rates of insurance. He also states
that power from twenty-five liorse power
down to 1-100 of horse power can be sup-
plied through his system on the same mains
that supply the light, and that printing-
presses, sewing machines, elevators, pumps,
'' can be run by electricity from a central
station far more economically than by any
other means." ne announces, furthermore,
that a demonstration of the practicability of
his plans will be made in Menlo Park within
two months, and declares that cities are be-
ing mapped out and divided into districts in
preparation for the adoption of the electric
light. Are we on the eve of as great a
revolution as when gaslight superseded the
link-boy and the lantern, or as when the
locomotive engine superseded the ox-cart V
Time must soon tell.
MODERN MIRACLES. *
The miracle business seems just now to
have a regular boom, particularly in Ireland.
At Knock spiritual manifestations continue
to attract attention. There have been ap-
paritions at several other places in Ireland,
but Knock is rather ahead thus far. An
English journalist who visited Knock did
not have the good fortune to see any of the.
apparitions himself, but he was astonished
at the number of pilgrims and the denseness
of their faith. The vicinity of the church
of the apparitions was one vast camping
ground, thronged with pilgrims from overy
portion of Ireland, England, France, and even
some from America. On the 15th ultimo
Rev. Father O'Callaghan preached to a con-
gregation of 20,000 persons. The number
of cures is very large, all kinds of maladies
yielding readily to treatment, particularly
those of the spine. Among other cures is
mentioned the extraordinary one of John
Foley, who, so the unbiased English jour-
nalist alleges, was cured of softening of the
brain. Thus far medical men have failed to
explain how these cures are brought about.
While this country lags far behind the old
world when it comes to miraculous mani-
festations, yet there is some satisfaction in
knowing that a beginning has been made,
so to speak. In the mountains
of Virginia there is a man who
is fairly driving the doctors crazy,
not to say anything of the druggists.
He cures people by simply laying on hands.
It is not unusual for persons suffering from
too much arrogance to be permantly cured
by laying on hands, or even by laying on a
club, but this Virginian cures bona-fide in-
valids, who can not walk, not from pride or
affectation, but from rheumatism. His
miracles are quite as numerous and as well
attested as those performed at Knock. The
Virginia manucurist is a baptist, however
which goes to show that there is competition
in the business. Thus we have miracles per
formed almost every day under the auspices
of opposing tlicological creeds, while the
scientists, unbelievers, agnostics and the like
have thus far failed to produce anything
whatever in support of their doctrines. Col.
Ingersoll goes about the country not only
depriving all his friends of any hopes of a
pleasant time hereafter for themselves or of
an unpleasant time hereafter for their wicked
enemies, but also compelling them in this
world to toddle along on their rheumatic
limbs, twisted together like corkscrews.
Let Col. Ingersoll and the rest bring out
their apparitions, and produce their healing
miracles, if they can, or otherwise own up
that they are really behind the times. Come
to think of it, people are losing confidence
anyhow in the colonel, since Maine has been
heard from.
the county in which he offere to vote, is qualified.
The residence of a married man who is not separated
from his wife, shall be where his wife resides; If
separated, he is a single man, whose residenoe is
where he usually sleeps.
Presidential elections are subject to this rule,
and it is a mistake to suppose that a voter may
deposit his ballot for electors anywhere.
The Dallas Herald still wants the Santa Fe
railroad to take in that city, saying:
Dallas, the great commercial center of north
Texas, the entrepot of all this region round about
us. and the focus of the net-work of railroads ia
this section, needs another outlet to our seaport
city, and this road will give it to us, and Galveston
needs further connection with this section of Texas.
The interests of the two cities in no wise conflict,
but on the other hand are mutual. There is no rea-
son why Dallas should not get the great bulk of her
supplies of coffee, sugar, teas ana imported goods
generally through Galveston, and there is no rea-
son why Galveston should not get the cotton,wheat,
hides, beef, etc.. of north Texas through Dallas.
Let Galveston be made the seaport city that Texas
needs, that is so necessary to the development of
the commerce of the state, and the prosperity of
every other city, of every town, of every section of
Texas, will be the prosperity of Galveston.
The papers uniformly speak in terms of
praise of ex-Gov. Throckmorton's campaign
speeches in favor of Hancock and English.
The Brenham Sentinel stirs tho local political
caldron of Galveston as follows:
Stubbs, the nominee of the Sweeny faction of the
Galveston democracy, is gruffly snubbed by the
city press. Street was too much Roberts, and,
wanting to get in. cood with the riff-raffs and
went under. Fisher would have made a good sen-
ator. but now the young, inexperienced Mr. Stubbs
the party picked up Roberta two
was picked up as the party picked up
years ago—the dark horse. What will Finlay, Mc-
Lemore and others of the old weather-battered
democratic ship think of the present mode of nomi
natlngf
Considering the number of newspaper ven-
tures which fail, editors ought not to be so cap-
tious when kind-hearted people give them gra
tuitous advice. The Danbury News says that
if a man desires to know how to run a news-
paper successfully, he should look for the in-
formation outside of a newspaper office.
Next to the s])ectacle of a judge coming
down from the bench to electioneer is that of
an editor neglecting his duty to Ids readers,
and going about begging for votes, as several
are now doing in Texas.
The Waco Telephone has opened its pages to
the religious Buckner-Link controversy, and
will not again be disturbed by the cry for
copy until the president's message comes in.
Better draw on the patent office reports than
fill a paper with religious polemics that en-
gender bad feeling and never settle anything.
The Dallas Herald does not relish jokes
about its heavy leaders.
The Brenham Banner calls attention to the
fact that the governor has issued a proclama-
tion offering a reward for the conviction of
every commercial traveler, lightning-rod ped
dler, and others required by law to pay occu
nation tax, who are pursuing such calling
without license. He also offers a reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction of the
lynchers of the negro man in Washington
county.
The San Antonio Express reports the appear
ance in that city of a new journal called The
Times, and speaks in complimentary terms of
the make-up and appearance of the new ven-
ture. It is an evening paper, of seven columns
to the page, without telegraphic news. It is
democratic, and depends somewhat on party
patronage, but its ultimate success will hinge
on its popularity with readers of all classes.
Having regulated the affairs of Hams county
to its satisfaction, the Houston Age finds leas-
ure to say:
"We have again to renew our suggestion that it
will be better for the tax-payers of (ialveston coun-
ty if they can manage to got their county attached
for judicial purposes to Harris county. Under the
present arrangement their affairs down there are
miserably managed. When a county treasurer is
appointed, or elected, lie keeps the office for two or
three years and dies, and the county money that
should have been in his hands at the tirae of his
death is as badly lost as if it was buried with Capt.
Kidd's treasure. When an appropriation is made
to the eountv for school purposes, the general
school law that regulates the disbursement of
school moneys in other counties is found to be in-
applicable down there; and the money remains
idle, and the schools are untaught. Five hundred
thousand dollars worth of the stock of a railroad
company is subscribed for. Five thousand shares
are issued to the county. County bonds were
issued, bearing interest t hat the people must be
taxed to pay. And just as the road begins to as-
sume shape and give promise of making returns
upon the investment, the county's stock is sur-
rendered up; t1 • mnty has no longer any inter-
est in the road: .• any influence or control over it.
but goes ahead, ail the same, for twenty years pay-
ing it S40.00J a year. But. bad as those things are.
they dwindle into insignificance when compared
with the management of Galveston county con-
victs.
The Age then condenses an article from the
local columns of the News on the last-named
subject, and returns to its mutton:
We think it but proper to repeat our suggestion,
that if Galveston wants to do well, she had better
get herself attached to Harris county for judicial
purposes.
The depth of the satire can only be appre-
ciated by people familiar with the affairs of
Harris county.
The Fort Worth News speaks in terms of the
highest praise of senator Maxey, and rebukes
the puerile attacks made upon him.

WHat the Interior Papers Say,
The Fort Worth Democrat warmly urges
the construction of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad to that point, as the most
direct and shortest route to the gulf, and oper-
ated by men who are seeking to bo independent
of monopolies which have heretofore discrim-
inated against the principal and natural sea-
port of Texas, an1 says:
It can transport our cotton and grain to tide-
water nearlv one-third cheaper than any other
route. It will deliver our imports in the same ratio,
and always be a protection against such extortion-
ate rates as are now ground out of this country by
the Texas Central railroad. It actually costs more
money to ship freight from Galveston to Fort
Worth, than from New York to Galveston.
All things that are lawful are not expedient,
says the bible. Some outspoken declarations
of Texas papers on the subject of state rights
do not go beyond the recognized limit of the
federal constitution ; but northern radicals use
them as an evidence that this old doctrine of
nullification is to be revived. No one dreams
of such folly, whatever may be thought of
abstract rights. Massachussetts always was as
thoroughly committed to the doctring of state
rights as South Carolina, but prudently
abstained from any organized attempt to main
tain it by force against the national govern-
ment. The following is a part of the constitu-
tion of the state first named :
The people of this commonwealth have the sole
and exclusive right of governing themselves as a
free, sovereign and independent state; and do and
forever hereafter shall exercise and enjoy
every power, jurisdiction and right which is not, or
may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated
to the United States of America in congress assem-
bled.
The temple of justice is somewhat neglected

THE LATE COL. ROBERT H. WIL~
LI A MS.
Col. Robert H. Williams, of Matagorda coun-
ty, whose death was announced in the News
of Saturday morning, at the advanced, age of
85 yeai-s, was truly one of the American pio-
neers of Texas. The following brief sketch of
his life has been for some years preserved for
the use of the News in anticipation of the close
of his long and eventful career:
He was a member of Austin's colony, and
reached Texas in Deceml>er, of 1823. After
living for a while at G ross's Retreat, some
fifteen miles above San Phili]>e. on the Brazos,
he moved to Matagorda county, in 1825, and
opened a plantation on Old Caney, where he
has resided ever since. He commenced the
successful production of corn and cotton, built
the third cotton gin in the state in 18*27, and
rapidly gained the enviable reputation of being
a kind and generous citizen, ready to divide
whatever he made with those around him who,
in those hard and dangerous times, needed help
and supiKirt. He was appointed alcade in 1826,
and held this important position until 1833, and
it is a fact that during his administration ol
over seven years there were but two suits
>rosecuted befere him, all appeals to the law
laving been otherwise settled by a moral in-
ducement for personal adjustment. During a
long series of years the Carancahuas, a tierce
and war-like tribe of Indians, infested all the
coast country from the Brazos to the Guadalupe,
and Col. Williams was often called upon to
meet them in deadly conflict. At one time he
and eleven men held over one hundred
and sixty of the Carancahua warriors ap bay
for a number of hours on Buckner's prairie un-
til the chief was killed, when they retired in
safety. He fought about fifty of the same In-
dians a short time after this at Dressing point,
on the bay, gaining a signal victor}'; and
shortly afterwards he perfected a treaty of
peace with the tribe, which was ever respected.
Several of the Indians remained upon his
plantation for a short time alter the treaty,
and assisted him in gathering his crops. The
Carancahuas, lon» extinct, were probably the
finest specimen of aborigines 011 the continent.
None of the waariors were under six feet in
height, and many of them reached seven. After
they entered into the treaty the spirit of the
tribe was subdued, and the chief had all the
female children destroyed. Two of the women
escaped to the town of Matagorda and left two
little Indian girls there, who grew to
be twelve or thirteen years old, and made
excellent servants, but died at that age.
CoL Williams lost an eye by a shot, at the
battle of Velasco, in 1832. His remaining eye,
as he advanced in age, t>egan to grow weaker
and weaker, until, in 1806, he became unable
either to read or write. He lost his sight
entirely shortly after this, and so it remained
until a fortunate operation was performed
upon him by Dr. Dohhnan. Since then the old
gentleman has had the happiness of again rec-
ognizing friends, and, with the use of strong
glasses, of reading the newspapers. The frosts
of 85 winters covered his brow, but beneath
his snow white locks there linger some of the
youthful featui-es still. CoL Williams had
alw ays been a man of generous impulses, kind
to his family, even to a fault, and loved and
respected by "all who knew him. He has two
surviving children, one daughter living in
San Antonio, and a son living in Matagorda
county. ^
Senator Conkling, referring to the influ-
ence Texas may be made to exercise in the
j political future of the country by dividing
her territory into states, said:
The resolution admitting Texas to the union
in 1845 provided for erecting out of Texas
four additional states. The area and popula-
tion are both sufficient. The area is 274,000
square miles, the population a million and a
half. Such a proceeding would add eight to
the numtier of southern senators, and add to

Napoleon I, many distinguished French exiles southern power in the electoral college. From
took refuge in America, a few of them tempo-
rarily in Texas, and others for a longer period
in Florida. Among the latter was Achille Murat,
who was personally known to some old Texans.
He died in 1847, and was buried at Tallahassee.
He was both a scientist and a connoisseur in that
important point in French education, the selec-
tion and preparation of articles of food. The
following is told of him:
He used to cook alligator steak In a way so deli-
cious that no alligator in all Florida would recog-
nize it as a morsel of one of his brothers. Another
of his experiments was in cooking the turkey buz-
zard. Murat worked faithfully over his buzzard
roasts and buzzard fricassee until he could stand it
no longer. When asked how h© liked it he said:
"Oh lean eat any kind bird—I am not affrate to
eat anyzing. I have no prejudice, but ze buzzard is
not goode."
The papers begin to call attention to the
election laws, which have heretofore been too
little regarded in Texas. Scarcely an election
takes place in which notorious violations of
these laws do not occur, but parties seem mu-
tually afraid to prosecute offenders lest retali-
ation may be turned upon themselves. The
following are the qualifications of voters, and
only persons possessing them should attempt
to vote :
Every male person not an idiot, lunatic, nor paup-
er supported by the county, nor convicted of any
felony, and not a soldier, marine, or seamaiv em-
ployed in the service of the army or navy, and who
shall have attained the age of twenty-one years, and
is a citizen of the United States, and who has resi-
ded in Texas one year, and the last six month* in
New Mexico and other territories, whose tradi-
tions and prejudices have descended from
slave-holding influences, several new states
may also be made. Schemes exist, not in
embryo, but far advanced, to obtain " a slice
of Mexico." Cattle-stealing on the Rio
Grande border has been and is a fruitful oc-
casion for incursions into Mexico. Special
cavalry regiments of unusual size have been
raised and stationed on the Texan frontier.
It is an open secret that not long ago much ex-
ertion and alertness were needed to keep us out
of another Mexican war. Without violating
the constitution, or transcending the usages of
the republic, at least seven new states could be
brought in, and in the case of some of them a
very plausible case could be made. The pro-
ject would become a high party measure. Its
success would assure complete democratic
ascendency in the nation for a generation at
least. It would put the government not merelv
in the hands of the democratic party, but of
the southern democratic party. Why should
not this be done ? Who and what is to prevent
it if the democratic party is elected ? The
northern wring could never resist the southern
wing in congress were these new states
brought forward for admission. The
northern wing never could, never will,
and never can withstand the pressure
of the far stronger southwing. Gravita-
tion and arithmetic make such resistance im.
possible, just as a pound can not outweight a
ton, just as one man can not outnumber a re-
giment. The past is pitiful in its warnings in
this behalf. Despite pledges and northern in-
dignation, northern democrats in congress
united in voting down the Wilmot proviso in
order to make California a slave state; united

TO THE READERS OF THE NEWS:
It is well known that Mot weather brings sitksesi, and that the great-
est care is necessary to prevent disorders, even on the part of those most
healthy. What there is in the heat that should canse disease ean not
certainly be known, but cholera, dysentery, debility, lassitude, vertigo,
and many other sudden and dangerous maladies, come every season, and
cause great suffering and thousands of deaths. Few peoplo go through
the Summer without unpleasant symptoms. The mouth becomes dry and
parched, the tongued tarred with white, the pulse irregular, the head
feverish, the body cramped and the limbs swollen and tired. Ladies
especially, with their natural delicacy and tendency to female troubles,
find the hot weather almost unbearable; while little Children are dying
every day from exhaustion, and because Parents neglect precaution and
carc. J» prominent and wsll-known physician of New York asserts as
his positive belief that more than three-fourths of all so-called Summer
complaiats arise from disordered secretions, and that these seeretionary
organs, which, by being out of order, cause so much trouble, are the
kidneys and liver* The brain controls the life, but the lower part of the
body rules the health.
There is one, and only one known vegetable that will absolutely regu-
late and control the Kidneys aud Liver at all times, and thus prevent
the many dangers of the Summer. That vegetable (a West India leaf) la
used as the basis of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It is pure,
pleasant to the taste and absolutely certain in Its results. It keeps those
who Intelligently use it in pertect health, and cures those whose secre-
tions are deranged. For all urinary complaints ot either sex it is Infal-
lible. For all bilious troubles It is certain. For the hot season It la
invaluable, and every person of eare and Intelligence should not fall to
keep Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cnro near at hand, and use it upon
the approach of the slightest symptoms. It may save your life or that of
some dear friend; it will certainly prevent much suffering. It is for sale
by druggists in all parts of the world; bo careful and take bo other.
