wish to call the attention of the public to
the fact that they have on hand and are
constantly receiving large and well Sc
lected stock of Groceries, Crockery, Glass,
Wooden, Stone and Earthen Ware, which
they offer at the lowest possible living
prices.
Selling exclusively for CASH, they arc
not obliged as others are, in fixing prices
to add certain per cent. for interest on
the money which must lie idle, and for
losses by bad debts, consequently they
are confident that their prices, the stock
through, will average from ten to fifteen
per cent less than can be afforded by
those who pursue the credit system. No
pains will be spared by them to procure
the hest quality Of goods. and to keep on
hand at all times a complete assortment.
Their Teas in quality are unsurpassed,
and are offered as low as it is possible to
sell a good article.
A full line of Sugars at bottom prices
Coffces warranted to suit both in quality
and price.
In Syrups. Tobaccos, Table Cutlery,
Crockery, Glass Ware, and in short,
throughout the entire stock, they are sat

ments to those who pay down for goods,
All are invited to call and examine
their stock and to buy if suited, as they
do not wish to sell unless they can give
perfect satisfaction.

WHISKY VERSUS WINE.

A desire for stimulants, quite irrespec-
tive of any qualification of the palate,
seems an inherent quality in human
nature. The young, whom it would seem
ought to find in the rushing current of
their eager blood stimulant enough, vet
love to have that rushing current still fur
ther increased; the middle-aged would re-
produce by artificial means the riotous
exuberance of youth the old would
quicken the sluggish stream of waning
powers. All ages delight to feel their ia
culties of mind or body increased, to en-
Joy fuller sense of life. Stimulants of
one kind or other crafty this natural
desire, and thus the almost universal love
Of them is accounted for. With regard
to Qualifications of this Sort craved by
nature and only injurious when carried
to excess, there have always existed diversi-
ties of opinion, and fluctuations from one
extreme to another The old ascetic theory,
which undertakes the body, regarding it
simply as clog upon the soul to be
mortified, crossed, kept under, denied
everything but the barest necessaries,
condemned all recourse to stimulants as
ministering to the inferior. part of man.
This theory, as modified by the church in
the primitive and medieval ages, taught
as still further inducement to the NOR
tification of the flesh, that acts of self
remuneration from a religious motive
(even though no one was directly or in
directly benefited by them), were in
trinsically pleasing to God, who accepted
them as sacrifices Indeed this notion
of a notwithstanding Gods by no
means exploded even now, but still pre-
walls actively among the adherents of the
ancient church.
Opposition to the use of stimulants has
also strong supporters upon grounds di-
rectly the reverse of these, namely the
sacredness of the body and their deleteri-
GUS effect upon the animal economy; this
theory making no account of the teach
ings of nature in regard to stimulants,
but dogmatically settling the almost uni
versal craving for them to the account
of depraved taste.
That it is depraving taste, if gratifed
by the use of Intoxicating liquors. and

AN ILLOGICAL TEXAS JOURNAL

Our position does not seem to be we'll
understood in Texas, but this may be at
tributable to the fact that it is difficult
task for us to explain ourselves to a
Democrat, and it is still more difficult
task to make genuine Democrat under
stand our position when it is explained,
or to induce him to admit the truth when
he does understand it. AS for instance,
In recent number of the REPUBLICAN
there was an exposition which we sought
to have explained, wherein Texas paper,
after roundly asserting that the Repub-
icans were running the State, deliberately
proceeded to demonstrate that Texas
never was so prosperous as she has been
under Republican government. We sim
ply put the two pictures together and in
vited the author and the public to
select which was the correct representa-
ton. Without asserting any opinion of our
own, without affirming what we know to
be fact, that Texas now has a good and
provident government, we merely in
quired of the Texas editor whether he
could reconcile his own statements first,
that the State was being ruined, and, Sec
ondly, that she was abundantly pros
porous? If the ruin was being wrought,
as declared, then the. country could not,
consistently, be accounted as prosperous :;
and, Uice UerSd, if the country was pros
pefous, it certainly could not be &C
counted as suffering distress and dilapida-
ton. Our information enables us to de-
clare that Texas is prosperous but the
design of our editorial was to make this
inconsistent editor ride one or the other
of his statements back into the stable.
The Houston Times has attempted to
evade the issue which we made, by an
swering that although Texas is prosper
GUS, she is SO in spite of bad govern
ment. This is Ineligible, if it is not
logical. 1t discards the assertion of OPP
poslte propositions, but substitutes If
reconcilable and unreasonable assertions
therefor. We assume now, in answer to
this last answer, that no community can
be prosperous which is badly governed.
There is that about society, as surely as
there is about the family, which prevents

admitted enemy was always treated with
respect, except by the scullions of~the
kitchen. The Field of the Cloth of Gold
was laid to do honor to the monarch who
had made war on France. Is our polite
ness SO lost that the gentleman who comes
to us upon our own request is to be met
with an insulting reference to his past en-
deavors? Did the South press its hos
pitality upon distinguished stranger in
order to entice him to banquet OF. neg
lect? If Mr.. Greeley had proposed to
visit us upon his own motion, then he
might have been treated as a spy or as an
unwelcome visitor by those who do not
fully appreciate the civilities that belong
to ones own roof; but as he is only COM
ing as the guest of our own friends and
neighbors i'll Texas, respect for them and
for chivalry should prompt us to make
his visit as free from incivility as possible.
We simply discuss this question here
from the standpoint of etiquette

Public sentiment in the United States
has become so. pronounced against the
disgraceful practice of prize fighting, that
in the engagement which was arranged
between Mace and Coburn last Thursday
Canada had to be selected as the battle
ground. This is certainlya contamination
to be credited to our account, and since
the practice came from England, and is
mostly followed by men allegiant to John
Bull, we can only retaliate upon our rela-
tives across the water, that if we do COM
NIT some oddities in the way of bowie
knitting and revolvering fellow mortal,
it is only done in the heat of passion, or
for cause, and not for a miserable price in
money. And we are endeavoring, by
stringent laws against the practice of car
rying concealed weapons, to eradicate
this offense from the list of our infirmi-
ties

Tammany Hall has disastrously failed
to enlist regiment of colored men in its
service. After it became a settled fact
that the civil rights law would be enforced
as well in the North as in the South, and
Ohio, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
and even Delaware, had admitted negroes
to the ballot box, Tammany concluded to
organize voting league of the new citi-
zens. As the first step colored organ
ization was admitted to appear in the
Fenian procession, and in the second an
attempt was made to get up regiment of
State militia under Democratic officers
This killed the project. The negroes re-
membered too well how they had been
shot by these men in the New York riots,
and they wisely refused to trust them
selves into an organization where they
would be liable to a similar taking off in
the first muss that occurred.

Even quack advertisements are not
without their lesson of political wisdom
"Quit Dragging" is the headline to a nos
trum advertised in most of the Demo-
cratic papers, which suggests the remedy
for disease that prevails to an alarming
extent in the editorial columns of these
self-same organs. When they assume that
the country is being ruined, when they
inform their readers that the Republicans
are preparing to establish dictatorship
under Grant, when they assert that the
party which saved the republic is willing
to destroy it, they are dragging the coun-
try with poisonous suggestions. How
can the Republicans ruin the country,
establish a dictatorship, or destroy the
republic, without inficting all the evils of
their action upon themselves as well as
upon the Democrats? Is it not time to
stop this sort of oratorical dragging which
tenders medicines that kill both the doc
tor and the patient?

Mr.. Greeley is not an intruder in the

A short explanation is necessary in
order to make our position clear to the
Caddo Gazette. Winans, who was elected
as Republican, sold his vote to the
Democrats upon certain measures which
he had pledged himself not to support.
These measures were considered as cor
| rupt, but whether they were or not, the
Republican party had bound itself to OPP
pose them, and Winans was party to
this obligation. The success of these
schemes had for its object the consolida-
ton of all political power and patronage
in the city of New York in the hands of
four men; and the ultimate design of their
passage was to affect the next presidency
by allowing these four men to use the
immense revenues at their disposition for
the purpose of corrupting the National
Democratic Convention. In fact, the
vote of Winans, as given in exchange for
money paid by the Democratic party, was
the combination of individual rascality
case, if the act is to be left unpublished
by popular denunciation, is to admit that
the interests of the country are at the
command of money, and that measures
of public policy may be bought from
those who are delegated to defeat them
Our position is that the Democracy shares
with Winans in the sgrace of the trans
action, and that by conserving to accept
of the success which it obtained by cor
rupt means, it is now the greater sinner
of the two The Gazette seems to as
sumo that we cast the greater odium
upon the miserable man who bar
tered his principles for money. This
is a mistake. Our severest CEN
sure is directed at the party that
corrupted the agent of the people, and
that now faunts the proceeds of its ras-
cality in the face of the country. And
we draw in contrast the action of the
party, that, without hesita-
ton, drove this trading representative
from its ranks, and purged itself of any
with his services here
after. The Cdddo Gazette rather init
mates that men are at liberty to sell
themselves, provided they can obtain
their proper value in the market. This
is asserted to be Democratic practice,
but it is not often that it is squarely |
stated as it is in Shreveport. We must
beg leave to say that the REPUBLICAN
does not accord with the Gazette in this
respect.

Thirty thousand females, ranging from
mature age to almost infantile years, come
out of their homes in New York every
day, and go about the city into hundreds
of places as laborers. AS the shades of
night close down upon the great met1opo-
lis, this industrial army troops home
again. If there is one thing that testifes
in woman's favor more than another, it is
the steady tramp of this host of females
to their posts of duty, through rain, and
snow and storm. Poorly paid, cheated,
put upon, tempted, often sorely pressed
for food, they pursue their duty.
What hope has the humble sewing
girl, as she tolls from daylight until dark,
and often far into the night, for that
scanty salary which barely keeps want
from the door, And yet how faithfully
she follows the desolate way, turning
neither to the gilded way of sin nor fall
ing into the abyss of dissipation. Is
there not lesson of patience, fortitude,
perseverance and endurance in the life
of the sewing girl in New York that
ought to teach men how to resist the bowl
and the gaming table Is the lord of
creation not sometimes shamefaced to see
in the delicate creature threading her
way home from work a woman who has
labored faithfully, who has been
tempted sorely, whose home is
comfortless, whose table is poorly
supplied, yet who has been faith
full to her trust in all things, while he has
fallen from work, been reduced into
drunkenness, spent his wages in unprofit-
able ways, and is afraid of himself? Is
she not his superior? How will itaverage
to compare the thirty thousand men who
are to be met at night with these thirty
thousand women? Which is following
the steepest path with the bravest pur-
pose? Which meets temptation and puts
it aside with the frmest hand? Where is
the softest nature and the most redeeming
spirit? And yet these thirty thousand fe-
males are not paid like men. Their SER
vice is harder, and their guerdon harder
too. We are blessed that there is but
little of this inequality in our midst, but
fear that it will come in time.
