IN the days of purity In Texas, II
those days when men lived scattered
fur apart over the country, aud tray
clers were always welcomed ant
never charged for lodging inthose day
Of pristine simplicity, In no part Of The
earth did the sun shine upon u NOR,
generous, big.hearted or freer people
than those early men Of Texas, tn,
children inhaled the air Of liberty
they galloped over the prairles almost
as free as the birds OF the air, and ouI
girls were models Of grace, purity and
all that ~ lovely In their sex,
The war came These characters
ties of our girls were made manifest
In ten thousand ways In minister
Ing 10 the wants Of brothers In the field.
The war closed Tho conquoror's bayo-
nets came, supplemented by an army oil
the most mcrclless, cowardly, thioving
rascals that ever dlsgraced the earth
They came not as soldiers come, but NJ
preying mercenarcs--as wolves ana
vulturcs. The Freodman's Bureau
flooded our land with the most unmltl'
gated array Of organized Williams that
ever dlsgraced the earth since the he'll
llsh council often In Venice. Yet, In the
midst Of all this sore trial, our daugh'
ters maintained their ancestral char
acter for gentleness ahd purity, and
often thawcd these agents OF dew
iltry into an abandonment Of precon'
oeiyed plots Of infamy.
The bayonet interviewed. In lSOo-7C
u government was forcel upon III by
fraud and force; Davis was falsely pro-
claimed Governor; the Legislature
was crammed with scalawags, carpet
baggers and negroes, and laws enacted
and put In force which made II danger
GUS for brave men or pure women IL
ride alone through the country, where
once all was freedom, purity ano
liberty.
The struggle in Texas, to be decided
December I'd, now is, shall thes'
chains he stricken from our people
and our former liberty restored? This
is the issue to-day.
The Democratic party, with n full
array OF candidates, stands pledged
before God and before man, to do al
In its power to restore our long sus
pended liberties and revive the bette
days of our long suffering State.
Men who think m we do, and who
at the same time, love liberty, will be

MRS. MILDRED LEE.

A brief telegram, yesterday, an
nounced the death of the widow of
General Robert E. Lee. Another link
broken, connecting our day with the
days Of Washington.
Mrs. Lee was Miss Mildred Curtis,
daughter Of G. w. p. Curtis, who was
the son. Of Martha Washington, and
step-son Of the "Father of his Coun-
try" Mrs. Lee, therefore, was the
granddaughter Of Mrs. George WASH
ington, as General Lee was the son Of
the immortal General Light Horse
Harry Lee" the chosen and bosom
friend of Washington.
Mrs. Lee had been a cripple for
many years, but was one of those rare
women, upheld by the brightest Chris
tian hope, who sheds peace, joy and
radiance wherever known. AS Lord
Broughah, an Englishman, wrote the
finest eulogy ever pronounced upon
Westinghouse q Northern man re.
Gently pronounced the finest enco
MUM we have ever seen upon Mrs
Lee. The tongue of detraction, no
even in the North during tho war, wa
never let loose upon this model Indy.
As such pass away, all who cherisl
the trusglory of-our country, howeve
distinct In this vast Territory, will dro
tear Of sorrow, and realize that tim
is rapidly gathering the friends Of on

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

The New Brunswick FREEDMAN re-
marks there is always two sides to a
question, and the advocates of each are
always well fortified with good points
substantiating their beliefs. The Sun
day and temperance questions, which
are now engrossing the attention of peo-
pie in various sections of the country
each have their adherents, and both
argue their cause with so much per-
sistency and evident good faith, that
the indifferent mind is nonplussed to de-
eide which of the two are in the right
and which in the wrong, or whether
both are not right and wrong together
Judging solely by the arguments en-
ployed. There can, however, be but
one right view to take o.. the Sunday and
liquor question. On that day our fac
tories, shops and stores are closed the
employees are all idle; and though
needing the rest of one day out OF seven,
the better to fit them for the labor OF
the coming week, many are tempted to
spend their time and money for drink
the excessive indulgence in which ex-
hausts the system to o greater extent
than the intervening time between Sun
day night and Monday morning will
enable it to recuperate. During the
week workingmen generally partake o.

The sewing machine interests are
greatly exercised over an alleged disco
very among the English patents. 1t is
said that patent has been found dated
July II, 1870, granted by the British
government to Thomas Paint, number
ed l, 764, for sewing machine having
~ the essential features of the Ameri-
can invention-a horizontal table sup
port, perpendicular oscillating needle
bar, an eye-pointed straight needle, a
perfect horizontal automatic feed, an
upper tension for spacing the stitches
take up to tighten them, and a
spool on the top of the arm. This can
be easily verified, as there are copies of
the English patents at our public libra
ries. 1t is supposed to invalidate all the
early American patents by priority Of
invention. If correctly stated, it passes
belief that such record should have SO
long remained undisturbed.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN COLORADO.

DENVER, Sept. 2S.-Two-thirds of
the fiourishing mining town of Fair
play, Col, was destroyed by fire on Fri
day night, the Goth instant. The fire
originated in Fairplay house, and spread
rapidly in every direction. Ali the
stores, printing Office, United States

hotolo, and other business places, with
two or three exceptions, were entirely
destroyed. Many lost their stores,
stocks, dwellings, and everything ex-
eepting the clothes upon their persons.
Much suffering will result, as the season
is too far advanced for rebuilding, and
the weather is already extremely cold.
The news was received here at one
o'clock last night. Some of the churches
took up collections to-day for the suffer-
ers. Other measures of relief will soon
be taken by the people of Denver on

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING.

CAIRO, Sept. 28.-Considerable un-
easiness is manifested at the prevalence
in this city of what has hitherto been de-
nominated congestive form of bilious
fever, but which some physicians now
pronounce to be yellow fever modified
by a northern climate. Only six OF
eight fatal cases have occurred, and
these are confined to those whose bust
ness kept them on or near the river.
There is more sickness here than this
city has experienced for years, and in
the majority of cases the symptoms are
similar to and resemble those of yellow
fever in mild form.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 28.-There were
twenty-five yellow fever interments yes
terday. The total number OF inter-
ments for the week was ninety-eight
against one hundred and twenty eight
for the week previous.
SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. 2S.-For the
past twenty-four houS, fifteen deaths
are recorded in this city.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 28.-There
were sixteen yellow fever interments
here to-day. The weather is quite I'M
favorable for an abatement OF the dis
ease.

Hon. Augustus o. Evans died yester-
day at his residence 81 Washington
street, Hoboken, after a short illness.
He was born in Binghamton, New York,
in 1881, and was the son of Edward Au-
gustus Evans, we'll known lawyer of
that place. He came to New York when
sixteen years old, and for several years
worked as printer. Afterward he was
a reporter on the Tribune, until 1857
then he removed to Hoboken and be-
came connected with the Hudson Coun-
ty Democrat, where he remained until
appointed City Clerk of Hoboken. This
position he occupied for one year.
Then he purchased the Hudson County
Democrat and filed the position of edi-
tor and proprietor until March, 1878.
Mr.. Evans early in life became identi-
fed with political interests, and in 1865
was elected to the Assembly of New Jer.
sew by the Hoboken Democrats. In
1866, he was returned by the same par
ty and was chosen Speaker of the house.
Mr.. Evans was widely known, and on
account of his social abilities was very
popular among his acquaintance. The
funeral will take place at his late resi-
dence, 81 Washington street, Hobokeni
tomorrow at four p. m.

THE TRIBUNE AND DR.. CARLTON.


Ever since the troubles in the Metho-
dist book concern, the New York Tri-
buno has been making war upon DIR.
Carlton, one of the late managers of the
institution. For the past few months,
all has been quiet along the lines, but
when, few days since, financial trou-
bles disturbed the country, and the
DIR. s son became involved, the Tribune
took occasion to heap fresh ISLANDERS
upon the DR.. s head, at the expense of
his son.
In Saturdays issue certain statements
were made for which this morning the

character of the DR.. Of course, the
"night editor" was to blame
"In enumeratiag several instances OF
late defalcations, The Tribune of Satur-
day alluded to DIR. Thomas Carlton as
guilty of such an offense, and referred
to reports to be found in other columns.
The editorial of which the brief state
ment alluded to was part was based
on information received by letter on
Friday morning. Careful inquiry into
the charges revealed their absolute I'M
truth, and they were suppressed. The
editorial reference should have been
suppressed also but by one of those
peryerse accidents which are the terrier

nothing could be done at present to re-
sumo business. A receiver will be APP

loses thirty-seven thousand dollars,
which they had on deposit. According
to the books the bank is debtor to the

be five hundred thousand dollars. 1t is
improbable that the bank will resume.

ing letter was written to-day
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. as.
Messrs. III. B. ClaAin and Chas. L..
Anthony.
GENTLEMEN In response to the
views you have communicated to me
touching the present stringency in the
money market of the country, and the
necessary steps to restore confidence
and legitimate trade and commerce, 1
have the honor to communicate the
following
The Government is DESTROYS of doing
all in its power to relieve the present
unsettled condition of business affairs,
which is holding back the immense re-
sources of the country now awaiting
transportation to the seaboard and
market. Confidence on the part of the
people is the first thing needed to re-
lieve this condition, and to avert the
threatened destruction of business, with
its accompanying disasters to all class
of the people. 10 re establish this feel
ing the Government is willing to take
all legal measures at its command, but
IL is eFlueub CHub no OOVerumenU eHOfts
will avail without the active co-opera-
ton of the banks and moneyed corpo-
rations of the country.
With the fourteen millions already
paid out in the purchase of the govern
ment Indebtedness and the withdrawal
of the large deposits from the treasury,
the banks are now strong enough to
adopt liberal policy on their part, and
by generous system of discounts to
sustain the business interests of tie
country. Should such course be pur-
sued the forty-four millions OF reserve
will be considered as money in the trea-
sury to meet the demands of the public
necessity as the circumstances of the
country may require. Close attention
will be given to the course pursued by
those who have the means at their COM
mand of rendering all the aid necessary
to restore trade to its proper channels
and condition.
With view of Strengthening the
hands of those who carry out the mea-
sures above indicated, orders have al
ready been issued for the prepayment
of the interest accruing in Novem Der.

REORGANIZATION OF THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.

PARTMENT.
The continued disorders in the fire
department speak more loudly than
words in favor of changing the system
by which which our fire department is
managed. On Friday night, while on
their way to the fire on Cherry street,
members of engine company, No. l,
had an alteration with members Of the
truck company. On Saturday two
members of the engine company were
arrested and held to answer for afro
cious assault and battery. We do not
know what course the chief engi-
neer will take in the matter, but it
strikes us that the guilty parties, (who-
ever they may beg shonld be reported to
Council for expulsion from the depart
ment which they have disgraced.
But affairs in the department will ney-
er be any better until radical change
is effected, and as the members Of the
city council decline to take the initia-
tive, we trust an appeal will be made to
the legislature at its next session for
proper relief. The volunteer system
has had its day of usefulness in Eliza
beth, and our people must wake up to the
necessities of the situation. We want a
board of fire commissioners-fre
of large practical experience-to super
intend the fire department. At present,
authority and responsibility between
the engineer and the committee and the
city council, is so distributed that it
takes weeks and months to decide a
matter which three Tor five) commits
sicners should and would decide in q
week and further delay is caused by
questions like the purchasing of an en-
to be submitted to the consideration of
the city council, and again delayed for
ali the members to discuss it, without
apparently realizing the necessity of
few words and prompt action, especially
when life and property are at stake.
Such is but one illustration of the fault
in the present management of the fire
department. 1t is in the hands of too
many and again, it is in the hands of
those who cannot from necessity give
that attention to it that its superior i'm
portance demands. The same men
must be on several committees, all of
which demand attention, and it is i'm
possible for any committee to have 9TH
er than superficial knowledge of de-
partment comprising so much of vitality
important detail.
We have no idea of paying the COM
missioners-their services, for the pre-
sent, ought to be gratuitous the office
to be considered an honorary one, like
that of councilmen and then again,
while they should have the manage
ment OF purchases for the fire depart
ment, they should also be limited in
their expenditures to the appropriations
made by council for specific purposes.

of night editors, the article slipped in,
without the removal of the half-dozen
lines relating to these stories against
DR.. Carlton, which we had found to be
false.
"Their publication (unintentional as it
was) was a serious wrong to DR.. Carl
ton, for which we endeavor to make
amends by giving this morning the re-
suits of the inquiries we had made.
They fully disprove the charges. In
one sense the mishap by which we were
led into doing great injustice to DR..
Carlton is fortunate, for it gives him and
his friends occasion and opportunity to
make defense against whispered ca
lumnies which have never before taken
such shape that they could be answered.
eve need not say how sincerely we
regret this accident, and we hope that
all those papers which have copied our
reference to the case will promptly
make the requisite correction"

Reno Destroyed by Fire.

A fire occurred at Reno night before
last, by which the entire business por-
ton of the town was destroyed. From
the account furnished us by telegraph,
published herewith, we infer that
that portion Of the town lying be-
tween the railroad track and the
Truckee river was almost wholly con-
sumed. A few fire-proof buildings
withstood the flames. but the great
majority of buildings were construct
cd Of wood. and, as a matter Of course,
were licked up by the devouring ele-
ment. This aggregate loss is estimat-
cd at about $1,000 though claimed
by some persons to have been much
greater. No mention is made of des-
titusion among the people, and we
therefore presume that all have been
provided for.
Eureka should draw a wholesome
lesson from the experience of Reno.
Like Reno. Eureka is essentially a
wooden town, and a tire once under
full Roadway would in the very nature
Of things make almost a clean sweep.
To avoid such a dire calamity should
be the constant aim of every property
holder and well-wisher of the COM
munity. Let every one strive to be
more cautious in the future.
