SOCIAL ADJUSTMENTS IN THE SOUTH
wEsT-This is the caption of an ar
ticle in the Cleveland Leader, which
recounts fearful state of society as
existing in Texas. 1t contains a bill
ofitems comprising all the murders
and outrages, recounted by Senator
Wilson and others who have treated
on our social condition. The writer
sums uD our situation in the follow
ing terms:
"From recent accounts, Texas
has not improved in such a degree.
morally and socially, as to rob the
expression of his intensity of mean
ing. Ifthere ever was "hell upon
earth especially for the black man.
il is in the Lone Star State"
We have been residents ofthis por-
ton Of hell for some time, without
even smelling sulphur. True it is
that a great many bad things have
been done in Texas, but they are
neither so numerous nor so frequent
as is generally supposed. We have
some bad people here, and not a few
of them came from the North I'D
venturcrs arc among rs, who dis
a-raee MS bv their bad doings- Bnt
with all this. onr soeicial enormities
are vastly overrated. We have
churches. and VIC attend them we
have schools and facilities Of eivili-
zation and are not altogether the

10y The Galveston News Civ

gcy~ The Galveston News gives
the following description of i. H.,
McMahan & Cos. building, corner
of Strand and 22d St., just complct-
ed:
"Thc front is of iron, Of the Co.
rinthian pattern, three stories in
height; then there are three hand
some corniccs, supported by tluted
columns, the topmost cornice being
most elaborate and elegant; from
the height of each story, the whole
structure is rendered quite impos
ing. The side Of the building on
22d street is built Of Philadelphia
brick and the iron caps over the
windows are painted the same col
or us the front of the building, ere
ating n beautiful eff ct. Tho first
floor is intended for the banking cs-
tablishment Of the firm above men
toned, and not for the National
Bank of Galveston, as is generally
believed. The upper stories will be
rented for offices. The first floor is
S5 feet long and 25 feet wide, and Il
partition divides the commission
part of the business from the bank
ing, making room for the former
branch 35 feet long by 20 feet wide,
in which are two ub-divisions form
ing two privrte rooms, which leaves
a space 20 feet by 8 for the main Of
flee. The furniture of this eetab-
lishment is decidedly the most ele-
CANT in the South, if not in the
country. The style is Gothic, SINH
lar to the American Exchange Bank
New York, with this difference, that
the New York banks is made of
oak, whilst that of Messrs. McMa
han & Co.'S is ofoiled walnut, inlaid
with rosewood, and ornamcnted
with ebony mouldings. The coun-
ters are seven feet in hight, but the
desks are conveniently arranged for
those transacting business. One
new feature is the plate glass over
laying the counters. The vault in
the banking department is s by 10
feet-is made of heavy wrought
iron, bricked over, cemented, and
then plastered, thus making it not

The late cold weather has caused
great destruction Of stock. This
should admonish our farmers and
stock raisers to sell off n portion of
thoir stock aud use the proceeds Of
the same in the improvement of
their farms and in procuring the
necessary comforts of life and in
making preparations to feed their
stock when such cold spells como.
We have long since been Of the
opinion that it would be better for

A proposition has been introduced
into the Louisiana Convention di-
recting the Legislature to establish a
system of free schools throughout the
State, to be supported by taxation of
property, and open alike to children
white or black. The census of 1860
shows in the State of Louisiana popu-
lation of 30l, 765 whites, o63, l67 slaves,
and %, s43 free colored pesons. OF this
number l7O,655 were more than five and
less than twenty years of age. At the
last State census reported there were
664 schools, with SD teachers and 25,Oi6
scholars, besides 6,200 scholars in col
leges and academies, making total of
81 ,2i6, understanding that all teachers
and scholars We're less than twenty
years of age-leaving 1873 400 between
the ages of five and twenty who were
enjoying no educational advantages
whatever. The number of free persons
over twenty years of age who could
neither read nor write was 2i,6l0. To
this must be added very considerable
proportion of the slave population. The
convention does well in taking hold OF
the subject Of education.

FAMINE IN SwEDEN.-The famine
in that part Of Sweden called Norland
has been fearful, The suf1erings of the
population, who are unable to help
themselves, make up terrible revela-
ton of human woe. The number of
sufferers in that unhappy district is
about three hundred thousand, all
threatened by death from starvation
unlsss their wants are relieved. The
unusual SHOWS of that region have sur
rounded the dwellings with banks from
ten to twenty feet in depth. 1t is stated
that notwithstanding the comparative
failure of crops In Norland for the last
five years have borne their misfortunes
without complaint or petitions for aid.
But this years crop having been entire
~ destroyed by frost in a single night,
they are left without any means what
ever TO provide even in the scantiest
manner livelihood for themselves and
their families.

Editors advertiser: Yesterday about
noon the dwelling house of Thomas
James, esq, was discovered. to be on fire.
and SO rapid was the progress of the
flames that it was soon entirely con-
sumed. A portion of the furniture in
the lower part of the house was saved
but all in the upper, consisting of beds
and bedding, wearing apparel, &c, was
lost, with few exceptions. The fire
was supposed to have been caused by a
defective hue. The wind at the time
was blowing perfect gale, and it was
only by the most strenuous exertions of
the citizens that the house and barn of
Peter Themes, adjoining, were saved
The house of Mi. james was insured for
81 900, and the contents for $500.

PEACE TO THE DEAD.-It is reported
from Washington that the act Of incor-
poration of the cemetery at Antietam,
recently made public requires that the
remains of the rebel dead shall be placed
in the cemetery with those of Union
soldiers and on this account some of the
representatives are indignant. We are
not competent at this distance to decide
upon any illegality or injustice in the
act of incorporation, but we know that
a great nation cannot afford to dishonor
the dead, it matters little whether the
Wondering coat that covers their WIFI
tened bones be blue or gray. The inva-
der and the defender are equal in the
grave. In life they were both Ameri-
cans and children Of patriotic ancestors.
1t would be a noble act for the nation
tenderly to gather what little may be
left of the youth ofthis land, wherever
born, and to give them the poor covering
of earth. The good cause of liberty will
not be aided by wounding the hearts of
thousands of American mothers, or by
treating with ignoble spite the unfortu-
nate dead, even though they~died doing
battle against the constitution of their
country.
