Honor Washed i'm Blood,
From the Galveston Bulletin


We wish there could be a new depart
ure' IN that tone of society which demands
that wounded honor should be washed in
human blood
The tongue of SANDER is glib and active.
Ar evil word spoken in haste is indiscreetly
conveyed and, in its repetition, often exag-
gerated. Bad blood is generated and hui
man blood flows, desOlating the household
leaving widows and orphans the victims of
passion, and wounded honor washed in
blood smells no sweeter for the lurid ablu-
ton.
These thoughts come upon reading the
sad tragedy enacted last Thursday in New
Orleans Mr.. Rainey having been in bust
ness with Mr.. Boyd, was dissatisfied with
his management, and spoke of Boyd as a
thief. Boyd called on him and asked him
to retract. Rainey refused. Boyd shot
and killed him instantly, without any warn
ing or threat Both parties moved in re-
spectacle circles. Boyd was cotton press
man. Rainey was the bookkeeper of a ma
tiOnal bank. Has Boyd proven, by being
murderer-for in law he is nothing else
that he is not thief? If he has never
stolen before, has he not stolen precious
life from orphan children which he can not
restorel Why was this killing! Because
society had heard the whisperings of this
foul SANDER; and unless Boyd killed the
man who called him thief. his friends and
acquaintance would cut him as coward
and poltroon.
How little there is of trne courage in all
this. How blamable the whole affair, and
yet the surface of present society is rotten
with this polluted principle. Men should
learn that time wears out SANDER, and that
rectitude of conduct gives the lie to coward
ice. There is true bravery in leaving the
slanderer to perish in his own corruption.
We need .'new departure" to correct
this evil of society, for the sake of widows
and orphans

What Governor Hoffman has Lost and
Gained.
From the st. Louis Dispatch

From the st. Louis Dispatch.l
The riots of yesterday in New York have
weakened, if indeed they have not wholly
destroyed the chances of Governor Hoffman
for the Tammany nomination for the Presi-
dency. Two days since, he had great
strength as a candidate; to-day he is weak
as the weakest, and Boss Tweed will have
to look about him for somebody else to I'll
the place.
The Irish vote is an important element in
the Democracy of New York State and city,
but after the blood-letting by the troops,
and the hate born of the decided stand
taken by the Governor in defense of what
he clearly regarded as the cause Of civil and
religious liberty, it is to be doubted if all
the Sachems of Old and Young Tammany
can succeed in restoring him to the high
favor which he maintained with the Hiber-
MAN associations of Gotham before this I'M
fortunate affair occurred. The conservative,
calm-tbinking men of all creeds will of
course sustain Governor Hoffman in the
course which he took to preserve order bv
proper exercise of the power vested in him
by the law, but the rash and thoughtless
will be induced to look only to the results,
which are against them, and will delight in
feeding fat the grudge against him, when
the opportunity serves.
While this is unjust, it will nevertheless
be found to be true as to the facts; and
while all must earnestly deplore the terri
BILE suffering and misery resulting from the
bloody scenes of yesterday, Governor HOff-
man could not have done other than he did,
and would have been unworthy of our
respect if he had done less. To have con-
ceded the point that the "Hibernians" or
any other societies had the power to intimi-
date the Orangemen from paradlng along
the public thOroughfares of New York.
would have been to surrender the govern
ment of the metropolis of the country into
the hands OF mob, and to declare mob law
the lee Suprema of the State.

Not many months ago some ladies of I'M
certain age met at friends house, out
West, for social afternoon, and there was
a general vowing that they never would
get married, etc. But one, wiser or more
outspoken than the rest, interrupted their
fervent EXPLANATIONS with: "Talk to me
about woman's rights We have all the
rights we desire, if the men would only pro-
pose. You may say what you choose about
it, but | do know if the right man comes
along and makes me an offer, won't be at
your next old maids dinner" She was
married last week.

Mns. SnoDDY REBUKED.-In an age
when snobbery and sholdyiSm have i,
pretty much their own way in society
il is extremely refreshing to come across
an instance like this. A number of
young ladies, school teachers of New
York city, who had been spending their
vacation at a seaside hotel OF Long
Island, were in the habit OF participating
10 the par!or hops, which, of course,
constituted an important feature of the
evenings diversion. A rece1t f.eb;ona-
BILE arrival in the yeTson OF lady who
was wealthy enough . o,4 u It's whole
establishment, no"oFe.. e.@se, oaanee
in the programme. Tao lady objected to
association with school teachers and the
latter were requested to refrain froni Join
ing in the dance and like sensible young
ladies as they are, served their own dig
nifty by refusing to enter into controversy
with the lady of many stamps. But the
circumstance coming to the knowledge of
the landlord. he laid the subject be fore
a lady guest of superior Intelligence and
high position, who speedily reversed the
ORDER of dancing parties, and the name
oe the lady who objects to the society of
school teachers has been dropped from
the roll of the fan jewellers who assembly
at the parlor 'hops in that hotel. Ser
we'd her right will be he remark of every
true woman throughout the count
