to instruct Democrats for whom to vote.
But the young men were not rewarded

IThe Rome correspondent Of tn

The Rome correspondent OF the
London Times says thafthe Pope is ap.
preaching the close Of his earthly ca
reer. So patent is this fact that foreign
Ministers have long since begun to send
daily bulletins concerning his health to
their respective Governments. His
brothers recent death has made great
impression on his mind, and the spirit
that once held up and strengthened the
decaying frame is no longer there. His
physical weakness, says the eorrespon.
dent, is shown in the bent shoulders,
the dropping head, the feeble gait, and,
above all, in the failing memory Of the
good old man.

posed to negro suffrage but they acknowl-
edge their present status, and do not seek
to change their political condition. 10
this extent they are more entitled to the
friendship and confidence of the colored
people than the Democrats. They do not
seek to injure them, while the Democrats
practically assume that the colored people
have no rights which they are bound to
respect,
This is undeniable in view of the. fact
that in case the Democratic party should
reach power their first step would be the
annulment of all State laws comforting
actual rights on the colored race. They
do not hesitate to avow as much. To what
degree then, is the Democratic party en-
titled to the confidence of these people !?
What are the relative merits of the Reform

right to the confidence OF tie colored
population? Is there any reason in these
declarations which should justify the col

CATTLE TH1EVING ON THE FRONTIER.

While the United States is demanding
from Mexico that she shall protect her
people from Mexican cattle thieves. let her
not forget that it is her duty to protect the
Mexicans from Texas cattle thieves first,
and then proceed to correct her lleighbors.
Stealing cattle on the Rio Grande is ? mu-
tual thing, and has been for years. The
thieves are not confined to one side of the
frontier, but are a sort Of lshmaelitlsh
crowd, stealing cattle in Texas and selling
them IN Mexico and stealing horses in
Mexico and selling them in Texas. They
are very well known to the authorities, and
their way OF living is as well ascer,..ined as
that of any other set of men Oh the from

TIE DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL

Mr.. Patton's brand of Democrats is what
might be called very strictly first-class Re
formers After rather brilliant and en-
thusiastic description of the Democracy
as it existed years ago, he says, III behalf
of the Parish Central Committee, that for
a considerable space of time last past the
Democracy was in bad hands-yery bad
hands-in fact in such bad hands that the
owners thereof have been banished. Os-
tracised, departed, driven out from among
the faithful, and handed over to eternal
infamy, By this expulsion Of these bad
men the party has been purified, refined,
regilded newly embossed. retilled, cleaned
out and otherwise renovated and made
clean and reliable for the use aud protec-
ton OF the people. This is MIR. Patrons
ode to the the Democracy, accepted, in
dorsed and ratified by the Parish Central
Committee OF the Democratic party and
paraphed ne rarietur in the Tines and
Citizens Guard, for the information Of al
concerted, and for better ideutifics ton
hereafter. Copies can not be had at the
Bee office.
This document, thus fled as testimony
in the case, was admitted, as the lawyers
say, tor what it is worth, which We take
to mean that it can safely be used against
the Democracy, and is OF doubtful value
in their favor. If the party confesses its
weakness. admits its sins. and pleads lis
own past unworthiness, the public. which
had known these things before, can not
90 behind the contrite acknowledgment of
guilt. Judgment pro confeSso must be en-
tered up according to the admission o. the
party pleading its own.test. This We all
understand.
Mr.. Patton and his associates vi, not
be allowed to Use this confession, however.
to obtain new lease where they admit
that they have proved unfaithful hereto
fore. This would be contrary to al the
rules Of ordinary action aud precaution.
Having testified TO their liability 10 err by
admitting that they have gone desperately
eatray, they must now consent 70 take
back seats, and wait until their time OF
publication has gone by, and until they
have demonstrated by their fidelity that
they are liable to be trusted a second time
