THE fact that Con. Gordon, Of Georgia,
was the other day called to preside over
the United States Senate created quite q
sensation. One paper says: 9TH 9 United
States Senate enjoyed novelty, yester-
day, in being presided over for short
time by an ex-gen eral in the Confederate
army, President Wilson having
ca lied John D. Gordon, the new Senator
from Georgia, to the chair during his tenn.

WANT OF CHARACTER IN OF
FICE.

"Politics," said DR.. Johnson, "is
the last resort ola scoundrel," and
tho wretched mal.administration
to which one half Of this country is
subjected lends a potential force to
the philippe of the English sage.
1t is no uncommon spectacle to
witness the constabulary staff of
any city or town upon terms Of tho
most cordial fellowship with every
Claude Duvall and unblushing gam
ster befouling its limits. The
merchant who abandons the treas
ures OF his store-house, and the
banker who surrenders his vanlts
to the warder of the night, may
we'll tremble when his casual gaze
detects tho trustee of their dollars
junketing, daily, with a character
whose only indemnity from the
prison or the gallows, lies in the
paralizing fact that the very mo-
mont a capias is placed in one hand
for his arrest, a "ticket of leave" is
placed in the other for his escape.
The record of both Federal and
State Legislation for the last ten
years, is blazonry Of miserable
craft, indecent cunning and unadul-
terated fraud. Great public
requirements have been over
slaughed by an INSCRIPTIONS zeal
otry and frantic monopoly for
self. The nations demands have
been subordinatcd to that Of the in
dividual, and the hallowed fcrvor
of Clay or the glorious passion of
a Webster is consumed in the de-
structivo and degrading madness
for "stars and garters," ono man
power, petty dominion and n wolf.
ish instinct for tho lions share.
Nor does tho peril and the infamy
end here. Lifting our eyes to
what should be the throne of tenn
poral justice-the august minister
of Right, we find the bench filed
with shameless idiocy, incrusted
with corruption, compromising with
crime, gurbling the letter of the
law, and perverting its spirit; and
the daring profaner of station
that only ono little less than an
angel should occupy, casting back,
with a serpent sting, in the face of
appealing virtue, the damning de-
claration, that he decides not by the
weight of Blackstone or Kent, but
that he decides by the weight of
goldl
Such is the startling picture pre-
sentcd to tho consideration of tho
American people to-day. And if
VIC would perpetuate the freedom
of our institutions, if we would
preserve the costly gem of its hon
or, if we would continue civil and
political liberty, we must awaken
to q loftier sense of the worth and
necessity of moral excellence and
purity, and cease to tolerate vice
and immortality in public life and
public men, or this generation will
not have ended half its days ere
wo arc ovortakon with national dir
honor, national degradation and ma
tional ruin!

4 Capt. J. W. LANE, Secretary OF
the Senate, sends us printed copy
ofthc bill TO establish system of
pubic free schools in ~ State of
Texas, presented by Senator Daho-
ny Of Lamar. The bill is very
lengthy, comprising some thirty
seven sections, and as it will no
doubt undergo good many chan
ges beforeit becomes a law,if it does
at all, we cannot give it space in
our columns. In glancing over it,
however, We are surprised to see
one feature which we thought had
received SO much con domination in
the old law, as to prevent its being
embodied in any new one. We al
ludo TO compulsory attendance at
school, either free or private, at
least four months in each year. The
bill will doubtless cause a great
deal Of, discussion, and we hope
and believe that it will not pass
IA its present form.

THE Houston & Great Northern
Railroad is completed to Tyler,
Smith county, and that place is now
in railroad and Geographic commu-
nication with the outside world.
The Reporter says: "The last nail
was driven in the iron rails at our
city depot by Col. Stephen Reaves,
the oldest inhabitant of Tyler, on
Monday the 31st day of March. "
The Reporter adds "The track
layers made no halt here, but are
now putting down iron at the rate
of one-half to three-quarters of q
mile per day, and the construction
train runs through the city regu-
larly with rails, ties, &c. We are
told that no pause will be made, at
least until tho road is completed to
its junction with the Texas & Pacific
road. The first station above this
city will be near Col. Hubbard's,
some fourteen miles northwest"

THE gauge of the main trunk of
the Texas & Pacific Railway, from

ling bowl attracts and tho wine al

would say:
Thou sparkling bowl, thou sparkling bowl,
Thy contents are venomous TO my soul,
A demon turks within thy gildcd mouth
That bites and stings.
The results Of intempcrance are
apparent every day and hour to
the young men of our towns and
cities, warning them to beware the
serpents trail; yet how few heed
that warning, how few exhibit the
manly courage to stand up and call
themselves MEN, masters OF that
will that should control their lives
into paths of virtue, usefulness and
honor.
1t is surprisingly strange how
heedlessly q great number of our
young men are living. Why it is
that so many are launching out on
the ocean of life so rccklessly, is q
problem we are unable to solve
What are they looking ahead TOT
To a bloated form, glaring eyes
and drunkard's grave? What
else can they expect? AS surely
as the days come and 60 such will
be their reward, saying nothing O.

EVERY young man should possess
that manly pride and dignity that
would enable him TO say: "For the

I will walk erect as man, and mo-
as q slave to tho OWLS of tho wine

reason with himself, bringing tt
mind that he is made in thcimage o
his Creator-He who was tempted
and yielded not-and that he was
placed here for higNer and noblel

young men seem TO entertain th'
idea that if they should abstain from

Where sin stalks about with doves eyes

steady-going life, that they woul'
be called dull, and that the worlt

no man can live an incorporate lif

"whcre the spirits of just men ar

In the constitutional convention, ct
Trenton, yesterday, the report of the
committee on right of suffrage was
taken up. The clause limiting the right
of foreigners to vote in ten days after
becoming citizens was stricken out.
The question was left to the courts.
Thirty days residence in an election dis.
trict was made a requirement. The
Legislature may have power to provide
for receiving the votes of persons who
may be in the military or naval service
in time of war. They finally agreed to
the amendment that every bill shall have
three distinct readings, section by Sec
ton, on three different days, the title of
q bill not to be taken as one of the
readings. Bills are to be printed be-
fore introduced. The pay of members
of the legislature was debated at length,
and postponed, on motion to make it
five hundred dollars q session, includ-
ing stationery and everything else. An
amendment was introduced protecting
the liberty of the press in its comments
on Legislative acts, and referred.

A RIUE nay IN WALL STREET.

There was an afterclap of the great
panic in Wall street. yesterday. In other
times it would have been rated as a
panic OF itself, but it was dwarfed by
comparison with its predecessor. The
melancholia which has affected the
brokers of late was increased by fur
Their and heavy fall in prices. When
the scock exchange opened the feeling
of uneasiness at once showed itself in a
feverish activity of business at steadily
declining prices. The Drew bankruptcy
proceedings, the Grinnen & Co. case,
and especially the seeming inability of
the Vanderbilt coterie to protect their
stocks, combined to bring about this
state of things. Many stocks were
lower than at any time during the
panic, and the brokers, affected by the
rumors of suspensions, grew excited.
Several failures are reported.

THE PRESIDENT APPOINTING A DAY OF
NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler OF the Uni
verse of the unnumbered mercies He
has bestowed upon us. Abundent har-
vests have been among the rewards of
industry. With local exceptions, health
has been among the blessing enjoyed.
Tranquility at home and peace with
other nations have prevailed. Frugal
industry is regaining its merited recog-
milton and its merited reward. Gradual
ly, but under the providence of God,
surely, as we trust, the nation is recov-
ering from the lingering results of a
dreadful civil strife. For these and all
the other mercies vouchsafed it becomes
us as people to return heartfelt and
grateful acknowledgements, and, with
our thanksgiving, we may unite prayers
for the cessation OF local and temporary
suffering.
/ therefore recommend that on Thurs
day, the 9th day of November next,
the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make their acknow-
Judgments to Almighty God for His
bounties and His protection, and to Of
fer to Him prayers for their continu-
ance.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done ut

of October, in the year of our Lord

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The Tribune of this morning, speak
ing of the elections yesterday says Ore
gon, which had special congressional
election on Monday to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of representa-
tive Joseph G. Wilson, Republican, has
chosen the Hon. James w. Nesmith,
Democrat, who was Senator from that
State from 1861 to 1867, War Demo-
crat OF great personal popularity. His
majority is about one thousand.
Returns from Pennsylvania indicate
she election of the Administration ticket
by large majority though reduced
vote. James B. Ludlow, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Judge Of the
Supreme Court, runs ahead of his ticket
in most of the counties, in consequence
of the dissatisfaction with Judge Cor
don, the Republican nominee but the
latter is undoubtedly elected by de.
ided majority.
The circumstances of the refusal to
allow an examination of the Treasurer
accounts, which in almost any other
state would have proved fatal to the
prospects of the candidate, do not seem
to have disturbed Treasurer Mackey at
all. He is reelected by large MAORI
ty, receiving in Philadelphia over TWEEN
ty-five thousand majority, while the
candidate for Supreme Judge on the
same ticket had but 1887. The Re
