WASHES NEW FURNISHING GooDS.-The
amount of taste displayed by Mr.. B. I.
Walshe, No. 10 Canal street, in the selec-
ton of his spring stock this season, has been
a matter of considerable comment among
the habitues of Canal street during the past
week. Such beautiful cravats and ties,
splendid undergarments, gloves, handker-
chiefs, ETC., rarely has been seen on this
side of the Atlantic, while his prices are so
reasonable that those splendid goods are
placed within the reach of every one. Be-
sides the above named goods, Mr.. Walshe
has also general assortment of seasonable
goods for children, which parents would do
we'll to go and inspect. Mr.. Washe be-
lieves in quick sales and small profits. His
goods are always as stylish as any to be
found N the country, aud having been
manufactured expressly for his sales, are re-
liable IL every respect. Go and look at
them.

CON DOMINATION OF SHOOTIE 9
The Courage to ID Right.

The Galveston Bulletin has an editorial
expressing correct ideas in reference to the
"cowardly spirit of compliance with the
bulIy.like notions of part of society,"" Al
luding to the recent Carondslet shooting,
the Bulletin declares that Barrett has done
wrong, aud adds:
The provocation was, doubtless, great.
The circular, which We have not seen, no
doubt was scurrllous and insulting. but
nothing could justify him in reso ting to his
pistol. Almost every paper IN the lana
condemns this pracuce OF carrying hre-
arms, vet perhaps there is no Class that do
50 much OF it IS journalists, AND none that
so habitually have recourse TO their use.
This is without reason or excuse, ana Is
ONLY done in that cowardIy spirit of compii-
auce With the buly-llke notions OF part
of society. A man is not worth the name
of man who dares not face the good or Dad
opinion of the world when 1t lnterferes with
his own conscience, and care nothing for
the consequences. There is no courage
in violating the law and defying the peace
of society," but there may be some in gong
about ones daily vocation calm, peaceful
ard unarmed, with the full knowledge that
there is peram bulating pistol ready to
take your life on the first opportunity.
| There is courage in facing danger-there is
no courage in murder. The right minded
man would prefer death by assassination to
being himself murderer. There are SUCH
men, who will risk their own lives rather
than violate their principles. The good will
respect the Iaw-Oulles and dastards will
| not; but it is happy for them that they con-
tenn and despise the opinion OF all such.
We wish that Barrett had possessed such
DiuCk.
