Texan Democrats are exemplifyipg the force
of MaeFingars ancient apothegm concerning
the i'll opinion of the law held by men who
feel the drawing of the halter. The State po-
lice having arrested some thirty-6ve hundred
men for murder, arson, demonstrating, cattle
lifting, and other crimes, the Democratic
stumpers declare this an outrage on the liber-
ties of the people. 1t is unnecessary to guess
at the politics of the men thus put in duress
although all Democrats are not felOns

The Secretary of the Treasury came to the
relief of men in legitimate business, yesterday,
by putting ON the market four millions of gold
in excess of the amount offered by advertise
ment. The market was somewhat helped by
this unexpected blow at the gambling interest,
and the action of the Secretary was received
with real thankfulness. But the removal of
the pressure is only partial, and, meantime,
gold is leaving England for New-York, the
last shinment being $350,OOO
New-York tribune., 1871-09-22

Most Americans will be amused to learn that
the English holders of Confederate bonds pro-
pose to refer their g1icfs to the Washington
Commission for consideration. The confding
British bondholder who expects to get anything
from anybody on those bits of paper which
were issued by the ingenious Rebels must
certainly be a striking example of verdaney.

The Mormons may really be preparing for
war. AT the sale of United States ordnance
at Camp Douglas, the Adjutant- eneral of the
Mormon Legion is reported to have bought a
formidable stock of arms and ammunition.
We do not understand why the arms were sold
in Utah; but, if the Mormons are in earnest
in their warlike preparations, we certainly
have fair warning of their intentions.

SPIRITUALISTS BELIEVE
AT LAST THE SPIRITS DOING
SOMETHING USEFUL.
A MARVELLOUSC CURE IN NAMES
CHIEF CITY-CURIOUS PHEN-
CINEMA IN THE SICK
ROOM.
From the New York SUM-

On the oath of March last Mr.. N. NJ.
Woodman, a prominent merchant Of Port
land, Me-, fell through the scuttles of his
store in Commercial street, a distance
Of twenty-three foet, and was picked
up in a most pitiable condition. His
ribs were wrenched from place, his
spine was twisted although the ver-
tebra were not separated, and one Of
his intestines was displaced SO as to OBJ
struct the passage from the stomach. For
four days he remained in bed unable to
move, and at intervals unconscious, at the
expiration Of which time, as he firmly be-
lievcs,

and through their cure, after long and
tedious illness he has finally been restored
to health. So remarkable an occurrence
could not fail to excite interest in the com
munity where MI Woodman lives, and
forI.he purpose Of gratifying the curiosity
which had been generally expressed, the
Hon. e. w. Woodman, on the evening Of
the 10th inst, in Army and Navy hall in
Portland, gave public description of the
| details of the cure.
From the Hon. G. w. Woodlands &C.
count, it appears that the injured man re-
malneu III Hcipicno Cohuitiol until the
evening of the 9th of March, when at 7
o'clock, in the presence Of DR.. Hookins
a hearing medium, he suddenly raised him
self upright in bed and spoke through his
controlling spirit, saying: II am terri.
bly, injured, and something must be done.
1t must be done within forty eight hours
or you will see the necessity for it,"
On Wednesday following this was re-.
peated and the injuries described. The
spirits, speaking through the controlling
influence, then said;

his wife entered the room, found the bed

the poultce ton feet distant, nicely pinned

1T is the fashion, just now, for news
papers Of the radical persuasion to in
sist that the democratic party is dead
and there are not wanting democratic
papers to feebly rc-iterate the assertion.
But the announcement is premature.
The party lives, and is possessed OF a
large stock Of strength, vitality and
power. 1t is not about to give up the
ghost. On the contrary, it is putting
on its armor for contest with radical
ism-which is only another name for
corruption-and if every individual
democrat does his duty, the result will
show that, as Gov. Hoffman recently
declared, "the democratic party is in
deed power in the land.

NOTWITHSTANDING the extreme care
taken by President Grant 10 not let
INV one whatever get a premature
Glance at his forthcoming message to
congress, it has been shadowed forth in
some mysterious way and its leading
features are already touched upon in
print. From these, it appears that the
president, with the stubbornness pecu.
liar to him, will insist on adhering to
his peace policy" toward the muir
derous Indians of Arizona and the Sec
tons constiguous to it. Every evidence
goes to show that this course, while it
has so far been powerless TO tame the
savages, is one of extreme cruelty to
the white jewellers of the localities
named. But, in spite of the remon-
strances Of Gov Stafford, who has writ
ten letter reviewing the CHASTITY alb
surdities of the so.called "peace poll
cy" and asking that Gen. Crook re-
ceive the support of the government in
his efforts to protect the helpless whites
in the face of the petition presented
to the war department from the whole
people of the infested portions of Ari-
iona and California embodying the
same complaints and request-Grant,
calmly disregarding both, sticks to his
own preconceived notions with an OBJ
stinacy all his own. These portions of
our territory may be depopulated, but
Mr.. Grant will pursue the even tenor Of
his way. Hei the most perfect specimen
Of radicalism now to be found in the
United States, Notwithstanding the fact
that Montgomery Blair asserts that, if
anything at heart, he is democrat.
