THE, Waco Ezamaael, an ably edited Dem.
ocratic paper, has opened its.eyes TO thetrue
status of the Galveston Nelcs We reprint
part of its article: 191io
ssSome twoweeks since; the Democracy of
the State were notified to find in the col
umns Of their leading paper a lengthy cam
paign document, fresh from the fingers of
J. @. De Gress True, il had the customary
advertisement" over it, but the natural
Democratic inquiry was as to what excuse q
Democratic paper could give for circulating
| Radical campaign documents, even under
the guise Of an advertisement
ssFhis, however, seemed but a beginning.
On Thursday, November IS, Judge Coke,
our nominee for Governor, arrived in Gal
weston for the purpose of addressing his
fellow-citizens there on the next day. On
the next morning the Neies appeared upon
the streets with the whole of its first page
and q part of another devoted to q lauda-
tory but fraudulent and garbled review of
Governor Davis's official acts, certified to
underline hand and seal Of Mr.. James p. !
Newcomb, his Secretary Of State This
also was headed advertisement, but the
honest Democrat in Galveston, as he glanced
at its heading, saw through the thin dis
giuise, and turned away with ineffable dis
gust. People naturally thought Of the sim
gular coincidence of the arrival of Judge
Coke and the simultaneous appearance
of this document and can hardly be
persuaded that It was simply acct
dental They thought also Of another
fact, to-wit; that It is custom with
the Democratic merchants of Galveston to
subscribe for large quantities of Fridays
edition Of the Nelcs for the purpose of mail
ing them to their country customers, and
that by this seemingly sinisterarIangcment
the Democratic merchants Of Galveston
were thus forced TO cid largely in the dis
semination of Radical trash, or have their
customers 60 without the usual weekly
review. a
+, ''Now, the Nepssmay console itself that all
this is legitimate advertising, bat the honest
people Of Texas cannot be thus bambOozled.
They see in this same issue Of that paper
the arrival Of Bob Taylor, chronicIed with
q grand flourish Of tTumpets and iHims7iG-
tely be1seqtb a. the arrival Of Judge Coke
very modestly alluded to. So far as the
Judge is concerned, we suppose he win sur
ViFe it, as also the caficature Of his speech
at Galveston, which the Mere Is pleased to
vduchsafe to as in its columns But the
feelings Of the Democratic people Of Texas
are aroused when they see an. organ which
lot long years tney nave sustained ana
strengthened, thus lending its columns 10
the enemy, and furnishing them a stick with
which to break their backs, and that too at
a time when the enemy's troops are in con-
fusion and ready to break before our adj
vancing cohorts.
''The NcHs says il is not party organ,
and therefore has q right to do as il pleases
granted; but when il draws its sustenance
almost exclusively from Democratic pockets,
its actions siuilate TO the sting Of the asp
which has beer, warmed to life IN tho DEM

Such fiirtations never come to any good
in the end. No sooner was Mr.. 6chenck
pretty well settled as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to England, than he began to contract
relations of somewhat equivocal nature
with a very fast American mining enter
prise, which followed him 10 Europe under
the name of Emma He introduced the
bold but rather fascinating adventures 70
English society He lent the prestige Of
his ambassadOrial name to help her make
her way more easily; and she did make It
very rapidly into q number of cFedulous
pockets
It is thought by some that this mining
bubble did not really need the assistance Of
Minister Schenez, inasmuch IS ITS fortunes
were zealOusly pushed by tho financial agent
of the American government cooperating
with Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and other
high public personages Of the United States
in the management and disposition of its
stock. But this is questionable. The story
goes that the Minister, tempted at a mo-
ment when he was badly run down at the
heel by i'll luck at card playing with English
aristocrats, was induced to try his hand at
gambling IN the EmmRmine stock. Accord
ingly lie invested, and backed his invest
ments with theasemi-ofiicial authority of his
name. 7t iss4.e.Erf. dla- e ffsa
4 But the operation, it is said, has turned
out worse failure than the unfortunate one
at cards which led to it. The Minister'S
cohfederates-or were they Emma mine
stool pigeons -surreptitiously sold out
their stock as soon as it went up with his as
sistance, and left him to carry hisuntil the
panic blew upon it and converted it into the
veriest trash.
What is to be done to save from utter
beggary this highest diplomatic representa-
tive of the nation, who, with salary of
about $40, 600 resorts to stock gambling to
enable him to live decently among English
aristocrats, whom he feels obliged to pro-
pitiate by playing at cards for money, and
almost invariably losingg Il is'a sad and
and puzzling case.--Nes Orleans Times.

took bat glance impress with the fact that high
order Of genius had been a work upon the canvas.
The picture Is I've By eight fest and confanes about
hundred distinct figures in the midst Of which the
immortal Lee. upon his war-horse Traveller appears
Ike a god himself, the idoiized commander Of the
bravest Of armies.
Every one reeolecis that noble passage in the history
Of the war when a. the battle Of the Wilderness after
repulscs and when the fate Of the day seemed waveng
the ralying Of Hoods Brigade with General Gregg AZ
its head to Try its proves in deciding the victory Gea
eral Lee was present and when the bold brigade were
ready for the herce onset the noble chiean dashed 10
the front to lead them in the charge The Texans re-
allied the value or Lee 10 his country and just then
noble Texan dashed boldly forward seized the rens Of

passing in every direction from the IRE Of the enemy

II s just s point in the history Of General Lee
career that the artist has obtained the grand inspirA
ton he has placed upon the breathing canvas There
Is unity about the whole picture. One looks not
alone npon Lee IN the magnitude OF his nobleness and
heroism nor upon the hardy Confederate who seizes
the charger In the mpulsive advance, nor upon the
other prominent figures but upon all alike. You pass
from to the othsrwth intense admiration and
doubled interest from the gOdlike Lee to the noble
Gregg the dashing Yenable, the enthusiastic color
bearer the gallant officers marching with their regiment
and again and again upon each and every face and
form in the whole group. The time when the scene Is
laid is early morning, and the mellow tnts and eoorng
OF the picture most excellent. There Is a boldness
Of effect about the whole picture which IL seldom be-
held upon canvas. There isno pOmpous coloring; the
ragged, weatherstained and hungry heroes per
tayed 10 the very life without fancy touches II is
the rigorous scene Of war, with beauty but that
noblest Of all beauties, courage. The grouping and
general arrangements just such attach to the bat
tie field, and seldom II ever has been surpassed In
the whole. too there Is most perfect individuality,
which required genius to portray.
