THE SOLID SOUTH.
The New York Herald, in an editorial
which we reproduce, replies in admirable
spirit and with much force to a correspond-
ent who lias assumed the office of mentor to
young voters with respect to the evil signifi-
cance of the Southern alliance of the Northern
Democracy. The Solid South the Herald can-
didly concedes to be an injury to the Southern
States, but it denies that the Solid South is
in any possible way a danger to the country.
The fallacy of imputing danger to the Union,
or the constitutional government of the
Union, to the Solid South is plain to any
vision in the North that is not
distempered by sectional fanaticism or
partisan bigotry. The Southern States are
numerically too week to be in the least for-
midable for any aggressive purpose. Their
aggregate representation in the National
Government is only 188, white the aggregate
representation of the other States is 230. It
is simply impossible that 280 could have
any cause to fear the aggressive solidity of
138. It is ftiso obvious that the Southern
States have need of tho-Union now, and need
of intimate relations with the National Gov-
ernment now, as they never had before.
Formerly, when embarrassed with
the sensitive institution of slavery,
the leading statesmen of these States
conceived that their peace and safety de-
manded a measuRiblo degree of isolation,
maintained by a jealous and extreme asser-
tion of State rights; but the destruction of
slavery utterly changed the situation, and
now new exigencies plainly point to a new
policy. Considerations of peace and safety
and material prosperity now suggest not a
large measure of Isolation, but positive and
reciprocal conditions of dose national com-
munion. "Tlfe South," observes the
Herald, "will cease to be solid the
moment the Northern Republicans choose
to do what decency demands—cut adrift
the raft of thieves they have main-
tained in the South and offer
an alliance on equal terms to those men of
brains and character, who, by the force of
natural interests, should belong to the Re
publican party." That the fact of a Solid
South is pernicious for the South and for the
whole country is too true. But, it is rank
injustice and flagrant contradiction of his-
tory to charge the fact to deliberate and
malignant machinations of the South-
ern people. The Republican party is
primarily and supremely responsible for
the Solid South. If the South does
not cast an electoral vote for any but the
Democratic ticket in November, the responsi-
bility foi* tlifc stflici fotfe wrll be with the
Republican party. At the close of the war
the Republican party was overwhelmingly
in power. It could make or unmake laws
at pleasure equally for the North and the
South. On the other hand, the Southern
soldiers had returned to their homes in the
spirit of complete submission to the national
authority. They had little or no predilec-
tions as regards parties. They were well
aware that Democrats fought side by side
with Republicans m the armies by which
the Confederacy was finally crushed. They
had no wish to engage in the con-
troversies of polities. They were anxious
to settle down as quiet and loyal citizens of
the Union, and woreanxious to proceed with
the peaceful work-of material recuperation.
Here was a great opportunity for the Re-
publican party to win the best population in
the South and secure a durable basis for
itself in that section. But how did it re-
spond to the spirit of the vanquished South-
erners? The Republican leaders of that day
were blind to the opportunity, or spurned
it. They turned their backs on conciliation
and fraternal feeling. They lavished upon
an ignorant ex-slave population politi-
cal rights which they denied to a
large majority of whites, and subjected
a number of States pinned down by the
bayonet to a systematic and prolonged pil-
lage by carpet-bag rule. Their evident pur-
pose was to convert these States into an
assortment of rotten boroughs for the use
of the Republican party. Their scheme
was bound to fail. The public conscience
and the instincts of civilization opposed it.
And while they were prosecuting that
scheme the Democrats of the North were
protesting against it, and were contending
for justice, for constitutional rights, for all
the civil liberties, and for complete South-
ern deliverance. Is it any wonder that un-
der such circumstances the South should in-
cline to soiid opposition to the Republican
party and to solid affiliation with the North-
ern Democracy? Assuredly not. And the
South could be thus solid for one party and
tgainst the other, and at the same time
solid for nationality and against sectional-
ism.
though started five hundred years before
the San Antonio cathedral, is only
finished now, and they are making a great
noise over it, as if it had been built in a
wonderfully short time. The idea of brag-
ging, when it took them 682 years to get
their work done! There are New York
churches that are put up in three weeks and
have $50,000 mortgages on tliem before the
paint is dry. In building churches, as in every
thing else, America is ahead. But, speaking
of paint rccalls us to Cologne, the city of quain^
old swells. Like San Antonio, Cologne was
always, ab initio, a garrison town. It -was a
garrison town of the ancient Romans, and
went by the name of Colonia Agrippina.
The old Mexicans about San Antonio, who
came originally from the Canary Islands,
and who still linger about the quaint old
town, and who still vote for the man who
pays them most with bewildering frequency
on election days, never speak of going to
San Antonio. They always say they are go-
ingdown tOjthe presidio, using the old Span-
ish term, Which means garrison Just so is
it with the peasantry around Cologne. These
old peasants, many of whom have Roman
noses, use the old Roman name of the town,
and nothing is commoner than to hear one
aged old granger say to soother: " I say,
Bill, are you gwine to Colonia to vote to-
morrow?" In the summer of 1246 the offi-
cers of the garrison at Cologne, or rather
the wives of the officers at that town, deter-
mined to have a fashionable church edifice,
where they could display their finery and
piety to better advantage than at the little
chapel around the corner, where they were
in the habit of doing most of
their worshiping. So they got
up an oyster-supper, with a grab-bag, raille,
punch-table, Jacob's Well, and other mild
devices for enticing the ultimate dollar out
of the clothing of the soft young man of the
period. The general, whose wife took a
lively interest in church matters, and whose
daughter sang in the choir, detailed soldiers
to go up on the hills with the government
wagons and bring m the evergreens to de-
corate the hall, so that this preliminary did
not cOvSt anybody but the Government a cent.
All day long the wives of the officers—while
their husbands threw dice for drinks in the
back-rooms of the saloons—dashed about the
streets of Cologne, bulldozing some mer-
chants, soft-soaping others, until quite a
large sum was raised. The reporters of the
Gologne Gazette were given to understand
that they would be allowed to fill up at the
fair; so they pulled it up everyday for
three weeks in advance, and when it did
come off, it was something to be remembered,
particularly by those who took money
with them to invest in tl*e grab-bag, punch
table, and oilier legitimate enterprises. The
fair realized a large sum, and in 1248, two
years later, the corner-stone was laid with
imposing ceremonies. As is usual, in their
zeal, those who started the idea were not
satisfied with a comfortaWy-steed church.
They wanted something grand, and they
adopted the plan of a New York architect,
who had been engaged in constructing works
for the improvement of American harbors,
including Galveston harbor, and the conse-
quence was that it took them 632 years to
finish that church. According to dispatches
in the New York Herald, the festivities were
truly wonderful. The Kaiser Wilhelm
made a speech which seemed to breathe a
spirit of reconciliation between Church and
State. It is undoubtedly the jnost imposing
edifice in Europe, looking at it from an
artistic point of view. And this magnificent
structure was started by a few energetic
ladies who would now be over 633 years old,
if they had only lived to see their initiatory
efforts crowned with success.
HOW THE COLOGNE CATHEDRAL WAS
STARTED.
The city of Cologne, celebrated for its
cathedral ancfbadsmells, has just got through
celebrating the completion of that historic
structure. The festivities in honor of the
event were so grand, varied and peculiar
that they can not be even outlined in an or-
dinary newspaper article. The Cologne
Cathedral, like Rome, was not built in a
day. The corner stone wTas laid in the year
of our Lord 1248, but the collection of funds
for the building began several years pre-
vious. The original programme was no
doubt similar to that for the erection of the
old cathedral of San Fernando, in San An-
tonio. The old Spanish records of Bexar
county contain documentary evidence of the
whole campaign plan, so to speak, l^iere is
a copy of the petition of the Spanish officers
of the presidio of San Fernando to the
Bishop in the City of Mexico, requesting
that they be provided with proper church
privileges, as the room in which mass was
celebrated was not respectable enough for
divine worship. After a great deal of eccle-
siastical red tape the building was started.
There is an official list of the
names of all who contributed to
the erection of the sacred edifice.
One Don Manuel de Dios y todos los
Santos, who was Governor of the New Phil-
lipines, as Texas was called, and who had
more titles than Ham, the Texas land spec-
yr, and of about just as much value,
came down with $150, which was a large
sum of mone}r in those days. Very likely
Don Manuel had had a lucky run at "monte"
the uight before he was called on by the
ladies, who then, as now, raised most of the
money for church purposes. That was only
in 1730. The quaint old cathedral of San
Fernando has .tumbled 10 pieces, and a
splendid new edifice, which was finished
several years ago, stands on its site. Now,
here is the Cologne cathedral, TThirhL
state press.
What the Interior Papers Say.
In response to the invitation of the Democra-
cy to attend a meeting at Sherman on the 22d
of October, Gov. Hubbard accepts and says:
The clouds now over our house in Indiana!—which
we never reckoned on—will be temporary. I have
undiminished faith in the suecess of Hancock in
our November election. In all the States the Na-
tional ticket- is stronger than the k>eal Democratic
candidates.
The (Ckmniele publishes the repljf in full.
Tfce Ban Marcos Nutshell is the name of a
new, neat and newsy weekly established at the
present business terminus of the International
railroad, in Hays county, Messrs. Brown &
Cashell, publishers. They declare themselves
democratic by birth, nature and education, and
promise to be watchful of the best interests of
the people with whom they have cast their
lot^-and to labor flcar the advaneekhent and de-
velopment of that beautiful section.
The Corsicana Independent says:
The candidates for county offices in Navarro
are, barring tlie lawyers, the*poorest set of speak-
ers we ever knew.
Public speaking constitutes no part of the
business of a great majority of local officers.
Even in the Legislature the best speakers are
not always the most useful members.
The San Antonio Express says it is rapidly
losing faith in the boasted intelligence of the
Northern people:
The speakers and writers of that section evidently
know tee mental calibre of their hearers and read-
ers. and the damnably absurd stories they circulate
would never find an existence if their authors
thought they would not- find acceptance, and as
those stories would prove an insult to intelligence
wherever found, we are forced to the condition,
in the light of recent events, that the masses of the
voters of the North are aa ignorant class, readijp
gulled by any cock-and-bnH story their leaders may
see lit to impose upon them.
There is doubtless much that is true, " and
pity 'tis 'tis true," in-the above; but unfortunate,
ly ally and absurd stories, to iniinence votes,
are not confined to any particular section or
party. Much of the siHy and absurd stuff pro-
mulgated by politicians and politicai papers :s
based on the assumption that large bodies of
voters are ignorant, credulous and prejudiced,
and factsmuch further in support of the
idea than is pleasant for the patriot and states-
man to admit. Just now let any thoughtful
and observant citizen take the rounds of one of
our towns where local politicians congregate,
and make an estimate of the social, mental and
moral status of those who seem most inter-
ested in public affairs, and the result is not
likely to be edifying. " The day of the dema-
gogue " has not entirely passed.
The Dallas Herald takes a philosophic view of
the political prospect , and does not believe the
ruin or salvation of the country depends on the
success or defeat of either of the great political
parties at the coming election. What the
Herald fears most is a change in the form and
structure of the government:
Within the past twenty years they have succeeded
in effecting some extensive. wonderfu£and radical
changes in our Government, in our conditions, in
our institutions, that, predicted then, would have
been, and was laughed at as the dream of a visionary.
So the suggestions of what they may accomplish
within the i*ext decode would doubtless meet with
the same sort of reception. Let him who prefers
the principles and form of a Democratic republic
tojthosejor an arfc-t ocreycy or a monarchy be vigilant
and dutiful. Whether a fundamental change in
this Goveiument shall be desirable, lies in the will
and the power of the sovereigns to decree or to de-
ter. If at heart they aro opposed to it, Set them see
that they be not driven like sheep into the shambles.
The Calvert Courier says:
The Galveston News, since the Indiana election,
says it don't make much difference who is elected
President, any way. This is the true philosophy.
Let us come down easy.
The papers give warning to their readers
that there is quite a number of tramps follow-
ing Bamum's circus who make robbery a spe-
cialty. In Columbus the safe of Carlton &
Whitfield was broken into, and the scamp got
away with $1300, but was caught and lodged
in jail, but has already made his escape.
And now the News is in danger of another
libel suit. A correspondent of the LewisviUe
(Denton county) Headlight complains indig-
nantly that:
The Galveston News, in speaking of the recent
reunion at Denton, says that we had "speech-
making. feasting, dancing, and pyrotechnic displays
in accordance with fhe programme," part of which
is positively false. As to the dancing, 1 saw nothing
of it: didn't hear anything said about dancing that
dav. As to the "pyrotechnic displays,' the
man thai penciled those statements display-
ed more brutality than an the displays that
we made cooking our meat and making coffee. The
old settlers of Denton county dislike to have their
moral character misrepresented in any such way
as the News has attempted in its reports of the re-
union. and I would advise the old settlers to dis-
card the News, and if they want a Galveston paper
send for the Christian Advocate or the Weekly
Journal; they will find the Advocate a great bene-
fit to the morals of the youth of this country.
A. G. King.
Brother King is doubtless a pious old man
and has no call to dance, but he is entitled
to the credit of having been the first to dis-
cover that fireworks are wicked and disgrace-
ful.
The uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture
of the Country Churchyard are eloquent, im-
posing and polished compared to the ghastly
obituaries in m&ny of the papers. Deep grief
is said to be silent, but the kind most common
in Texas vents itself in the most conspicuous
way, and when it gets into the papers the
writer of the obituary becomes not only chief
mourner, but hero of the eulogy, and only es-
capes being a laughing stock by the solemnity
of the subject.
The latest case of vulgar display in New
York is an $£>0UO bonnet. It is said, however,
that it is a model of quiet taste, being of a
dark, rich maroon pi ish, with little other
rimming than diamonds.
LETTER FROM TYLER.
[Special Correspondence of the News.]
Tyler, October 18, 1880.—The News has al-
ready published by special the sad fate that
befell Capt. Tom Smith, the Clerk of the Court
of Appeals, here. Capt. Smith lived across
the railroad—that is, in coming from his home
to the court-house he had to cross the track of
the International and Great Northern railroad.
For a number of years he had been very deaf.
He left home after supper for the court-room.
The storm or norther which came up Friday
night had just begun. He was walking on the
track, it is supposed, a short distance toward
the depot, when the train, which
had been switching cars, backed
up behind him. He was struck and
knocked suddenly down, falling on his back on
the rail, the wheels of the box-car passing over
his body, cutting it in two above the hips.
None of his limbs nor his head or face were
touched. He fell directly across the rail and
the car wheels run over his body between the
hips and breast. About this time the beating
torrents of rain were falling and the scene was
indeed sail and dismal. The judges of the
Court of Appeals and a group of friends had
gathered to the spot, and were preparing to
remove the mangled body of the good old cap-
tain. It was truly a sad sight to see the
body of Capt. Tom Smith lying across the
rail cut in two, the storm and rain
beating down, the good judges and friends sur-
rounding it, the dim light of a few lanterns
burning. It was a scene which can never be
forgotten by those who saw it. All of the courts
adjourned Saturday, and nearly the whole town
turned out to the funeral. He was buried Sat-
urday. The courts appointed committees to
draft resolutions, qjid all rcspect and honors
were paid to the good and noble man.
The court has appointed the son of Capt.
Smith as Clerk of the Court of Appeals. He is
an efficient and worthy young man.
The news from Indiana fell like a bombshell
here. Your correspondent for one has been
uneasy all along, and so expressed it in the
News. The trouble with the Democrats is, as
the fellow said, " We raise too much h—11 and
too many flag-poles," and don't work as prac-
tically as the Republicans do. For instance,
they tackle for their speakers do) the tariff
question in the wrong sections or States. There
are many protective or high-tariff men or man-
ufacturers in Indiana and Ohio; men who pre-
fer to vote the Democratic ticket, but will go
with the party which most represents their
ideas on the tariff. Studebaker, at South Bend,
employs hundreds of workmen. De Paw, at New-
Albany, the same. When Democratic speakers
struck out for free trade and a revision of the
tariff laws, it struck the pockets of many of *
this class and caused them to vote the Repub-
lican ticket. It 5s true the present tariff laws
are unjust to many, but it has been demon-
strated in Congress that nothing can be done
to revise them now. Hence it seems folly to
tackle a question which can do the party only
harm in the North. It has been tried in Con-
gress by many able men; the manufacturing
interests prevented any legislation, and for the
present it would be best to let it alone,
or else New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut will follow Ohio and In-
diana in the November election. The
Democrats have got a hard fight to win—
if they win at all—without agitating questions
with which nothing can be done at present, and
which only drives recruits to the Republican
party in the Northern States.
Tree trade speeches in Indiana, Ohio, New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut will break
up the Democratic party in these States. Men
will desert party for personal interests, espe-
cially in large "business and manufacturing
communities. Of coarse the present tariff laws
are wrong in many clauses—they are
in many cases a species of class legis-
lation—enriching some at the expense of
others; but Congress has tried to remedy the
evil and failed. The Republicans and Eastern
Democrats will not permit it now. Hence, in
the Northern States the party is wasting am-
munition and losing votes in agitating the ques-
tion. Ten years ago we of the South were
struggling to get rid of carpet-bag and Radical
rule m our States. That was the one wish of
our hearts. At last we succeeded, and our home
governments are now run by our own people.
We are no longer oppressed by carpot~bag rule
and rum. Hence, if the Democratic party is
beat in the presidential election we can
console ourselves that we have good and
honest State governments; that we are
free at home. And when we look back
and remember Republican rule of Southern
States we can feel grateful and happy that we
have changed that part of it anvnow. If the
Democracy lose the presidential contest, we of
the South can have the satisfaction and benefit
of sending our able, honest and true men to
Congress, who, whether in the majority or
minority, will represent us and see that our
section does not suffer from loss of internal im-
provements^ that our rivers and harbors are
improved; that our commerce and our inter-
ests do not suffer. These things the majority
in Congress must concede to all sections. Manv
here are hopeful of Hancock's election. Mam-
are despondent. It is (after the defeat in In-
diana and Ohio) a hard fight for the Democrats
to win. They may win it, but if they do it will
be the first time where the popular voice ever
overcome millions of money, powerful organi
zations, combinations, rich "monopolies, shrewd
and practical management, and a party in
power. -~
It is said that some of the la were of Texas are
playing havoc with the State occupation tax.
It is understood that a reward of ten dollars is
offered for every violator of this law. The
"Athens of Texas" (Tyler) has got the smartest
people in the world. ~(So it claims.) The tax
is $10. Two attorneys agree to hit the State a
" tiff," this way: One goes and informs on the
other—gets $10 reward; the other then inform-
ing on him, gets his $10 reward, and both pay
their occupation tax with the reward money.
It is fine for lawyers up here—they make the
State a sort of self-sustaining institution. A
Fort Worth lawyer, in a discussion of the ques-
tion with your correspondent, took the ground
that the State had to prove that a man practiced
or had any practice. He then insinuated that
it would be impossible to prove this on Dallas
lawyers.
The Texas and St. Louis Narrow Gauge
railroad has laid its track to the Neehes river,
ten miles west of town. They are working on
with a view to reach Corsicana soon.
The people up in this section are still anxious
to know who was elected in Maine. We have
not found out yet up hero who got it.

Pleasanton Monitor: Mr. H. S. Tom says
that he never saw the Ifke of sickness that no vv
exists in the eastern portion of this county,
chiefly chills and fever The sick in town
are ail convalescing A Beaton City letter
says: The sickness here and further west, on
Chicon and Siesta I>oto, is unprecedented,
though nothing as yet that I know of but
chills, but of a very malignant tyi*?, showing a
great deal of congestion. From'the number of
calls that Dr. White receives from biosta Daro,
it is a great deal wors3 there.
BOSQUE.
Morgan Sentinel: On last Friday's train a
gentleman and his family arrived from Minne-
sota for the purpose of locating in this comity.
They are Norwegians and will locate in the
Norwegian settlement, which is about seven-
teen miles northwest of Morgan. This settle-
ment is constituted entirely of Norwegians, and
a more thrifty, industrious people can't be
found in Texas. They have located in a rich
belt of country, and are excellent fanners.

Prof. Contugrei and Capt. Buiong* engineers

ing a company of capitalists of that city which

These gentlemen have forwarded to Paris for
inspection, specimens of copper ore from Bay-
lor, Archer, Witch it a, Clay, Hardeman. Wil-

Gatesville Sun: Cotton will turn out better
than was expected in most all parts of the
county.... Galveston merchants' will handle
more cotton this fall than ever before during-
one season. The reason is some of our mer-
chants are now buj'ing cotton exclusively for
cash... .There is a great deal of sickness
in the country. Some of the candi-
dates who have been canvassing the
county considerably, inform u3 that
th?y hardly ever had a residence where there
is not one or more sick persons Mr. Henry
Basham, living at Billiards Cove, meeting
some acquaintance at his yard fence, stopped
to talk to liim, and placed the stock of his gun
on the fence. By some means his gun slipped
from his grasp, and the hammer striking the
fence, the piece was discharged, and nearly the
whole load entered his right cheek, terriblv
mutilating the fiesh and Ixjne. The wound,
though very painful, is not considered very
dangerous.

Advocate: Cotton is still coming in quite

the only trouble being a scarcity of hands to

TO THE READERS OF THE NEWS:
It is well known that hot weather brings sickness, and that tfee great-
est tare is necessary to prevent disorders, even on ths part of those most
healthy. What there is in the heat that should cause dlaoaas can not
certainly be known, but cholera, <ly*entery, dsblllty, lassitude, vortiso,
and many othor sudden and dangerous mnlsdles, cosax erery season, and
cause {jrest suffering and thousands of deaths. Few people go through
the Surnxnt-r without unpleewst symptoms. The mouth beoontoe dry and
par< !sc<l, the ton^ucl furred wtLh white, the pulse irregular, Iks head
^vensh, Ukc body orana^ied and the limbs awollon a ad tired. Ladies
especially, with their natural dclicacy and tendency to female troubles,
find the hot weather almost unbearable; whlls little Children aro dying
every day from exhaustion, and because Parents neglect precaution and
care. A prominent aud well-known physician of Sew York assarts as
his positive belief that snore than three-fourths of all so-calis4 Summer
coctiplaiats arise from disordered secretions, and that (heae sooaatlonary

body rales the health.
There is one, and only one known vegetable tho? will alusahitoly regu-
late and control the Kidneys aud Liver ai all times, and thus proveut
the many dangers of the Summer. That vegetable (a Wsat India leaf) is
used as tlis basis of Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure. It Is pure,
pleasant to the tasfe and absolutely certain In Us results. It keeps those
who Intelligently use it in perfect health, and cureo those whose secre-
