REGIsTERi REcIsTER,

We again call attention to the absolute
necessity of registration, in view of the
coming election, and the complete redemp-
ton of the State from Radical rule. No
man can vote unless registered, under the
new law. The present Constitution requires
observation-disclosures, in our judgment, use
less with universal suffrage-and it has to be
done. The last Legislature did what it
could to make this duty one of easy per-
Torrance. 1t costs nothing but a little
time. Let no man neglect it. No man,
who loves his State and country, will ne
elect It, The Democrat who fails in this
is unworthy of the noble party he processes
to belong to, and deserves to be ruled and
taxed by the Radicals to the day of his
death. Last year, we heard Democrats
say they would not register, because they
would then have to serve on juries. This
was no proper excuse then, and now, we
are glad to say, that this will avail them
nothing. They will be compelled to serve
on juries, whether registered or not. Ereyy
negro and achitc Radical toiH register, and if
the Democrats do not, they may expect to
be beaten in many localities, and they will
deserve to be- Come forward then, Demo
cratic voters of Texas, and show that you
are true men, ready and willing to perform
your whole duty, first to register, and then
TO vote.

'--no tlliie niin1ch having issued HrIt for
the arrest and bringing before him Of the
judge Of the Supreme Court. He was then
brought up from seguin under arrest, to
answer the charge Of contempt, and has
remained since that time IN charge Of
the sheriff Yesterday his counsel asked a
continuance until September, which was
promptly refused, the court holding that
this case, or continuation Of cases grow
ing out Of the same thing, had occupied the
attention Of the court already for too great
a while, and that the matter must now be
disposed Of All attempts to introduce dill
atory pleas failed, and the case was set for
Tuesday at 10 O'Clock.
Tuesday morning the Supreme Court
failed to meet at the time appointed-teD
o'clock. The room was crowded long De
fore this hour, and great interest vas dis
played in the taking up of the Nancy case,
which had been continued hom the day be-
fore Sheriff ZimpclDan had his prisoner
present at the appointed time, but from
some cause, wbioh is not well understood,
the court I'D not put IN its appearance
until pier twelve o'clock. At this time,
Justices Ogden and Walker only assembled
the bench. A good deal of mystery was
attached to the absence of Judge Evans.
BY another issue we hope to be able to I'M
ravel it.
The case Of Judge Nancy was taken up,
upon the meeting of the court, but his an
swers being unsatisfactory and not peril
nent, the court, at the solicitation of the
counsel, permitted amendment, and the
case was again postponed until ten o'clock
Wednesday.
Before adjournment of the court General
Shelley, for George B. Zimpelman, pre-
sented a petition stating that, whereas,
process had on Monday issued from Judge
Evans to said Zimpelman, commanding him
to appear at ten o'clock on Tuesday, to show
cause why he was in contempt of him; and
whereas, the ruling of Judge Walker on
Monday, was in favor of the action of Zim-
pelham, that he be protected in the
discharge of his duties as an officer of the
court. The court. Judge Ogden presiding,
promised the desired protection, and said
that Sheriff Zimpelman must obey the man
dates of the court, clearly showing that the
two judges on the bench did not fully re-
cognize Judge Evans as authorized to
issue the mandates of said court In
view of the position taken by Judge
Walker the day before, there certainly
exists curious anomaly. Zimpelman was
notified by Judge Walker, Judge Ogden
not on the bench, that he should obey the
mandates of Judge Evans. Judge Evans
issues one directly after to zimpelman,
which he obeys, and puts in his appearance
at the hour named to answer. Judge Evans
does not make his appearance to try the
case, and at the same timo there is great
confusion among the justices outside of the
court room. Judge Ogden then tells Zim
pelham that lac will be protected, and that
he will only be responsible to the court.
Who is the court? Who is the chief JUS
tioe! and where will the matter end? In
the troubles arising about the chief justice
ship, we fear the immortal, the invinciblc
Nancy will be forgotten.

that matters shall take this direction.
Both extremes have toned down, perhaps
misunderstanding each other from the be-
ginning, and all are now willing to act
together, ike sensible patriotic DcmocSets,
for the good Of their party and the country.
The prospect Is now cheering net the bit

forgotten. Let misunderstanding be thrown
aside, as now Of p practical importance.
Let no honest pemocrats, for any supposed
little differences Of opinion or shadow Of in

arc all coming nearer and nearer together in
the Democratic fold, and as we said before,
the prospect is now most cheering We
have only to watch sharply the Radical
wolves that arc prowling around US, and
all viii be well. We shall get, in the end,
all the railroads we need and we shall keep
them from owning or ruling the State.

A MATTER OF JUSTICE.

As Judge Ireland has been repeatedly
charged with repudiation-or inconsistency
with regard to tive deem it matter of
simple justice to republish what the STATES
NAN said about him in its issue of the sixth
of March, during the session of the last Leg
islature, of which he was prominent mem
ber In that number of the STATESMAN,
Gen. Walker, then connected with it, after
an interview with Judge Ireland, said;
she holds that the question of constitu-
tionality is one purely for the courts to de-
termine, and that the Legislature has moth
ing to do with it. Thatin case the Supreme
Court should decide that the company is en-
titled to receive the entire amount of bonds,
that it will be the bounden duty of the Leg
islature to make such appropriation as may
be necessary for the regular and punctual
payment of the interest"
If there is any reputation in this or any
inconsistency in that and the position taken
in his lately published speech, we are not
able TO see it. 'Let justice be done though
the heavens fall" There is no repudiating
party in Texas, and we trust there never
will be. If there is any prominent man in
the Democratic party of Texas, who holds
to the doctrine of reputation, he is unknown
to u.s. Let this cry of reputation cease.

FRoN the Vow York Esrala Of the

to the Liberal Republican Convention or its
nominations. Senator Thurman made
short but telling speech, predicting success
to the ticket, which is said to be very
strong throughout. The Cincinnati Com

that called out the Democracy in such
great numbers. SIT has served as the resur-
rection trump The Ohio Democracy do
not intend that the Liberal Republicans
shall run the Democratic party for their own
benefit. Texas win respond to Ohio.

THz Journal of last Saturday, in an arti-
Gle on the new school law, says that under
its provisions "a Democratic superintend-
ent, in visiting remote portions of the uni
verse, in consulting with Democratic wise
acres, may sell all the public lands and
spend the money before another election. :"
None but pedagogical A. s. S. would
write such stuff as this, There is no au-
thority given for the sale Of any other than
school lands, and these cannot be sold
without an act of the Legislature. Ignor-
ance and mendacity mark everything the
Radicals have written about the new school
law. Read the article from the Houston
Telegraph in relation to this matter.

a Case I'm point.

We are not Of that class who make asser-
tions with no testimony to prove them. We
affirm that in the second precinct registra-
ton, just concluded by District Clerk Tay-
lor, there was one fraudulent registration.
A oOal-black, c0ck-eyed negro buck, named
Gaines Jackson, presented himself before
the registrar, and, at the instance Of the
Democratic Committee present, was sworn,
and, under oath, was registered as voter
Of second election precinct. jackson
claimed to reside with Shad Williams IN
second ward, and was vouched for by the
well-known negro ex-policeman, Cy Gam
bic, as having lived with Williams for the
past year. After the negro's name had been
inserted, Shad Williams stated that Jack
son had come in from the Brazos only the
day before. One Of the Democratic Com
mittee inquired at Williams's house, and
found that no such person as jackson lived
there,
The consequence is that the fraudulent
entry on the list Of voters win have 70 re-
main till legally expunged before election.
In the msantime honest citizens viii see 70
il that Jackson IS brought before the courts
on charge Of perjury. II the facts as SET
forth can. be proven, and we have no doubt
they can, negro testimony to the contrary
notwithstanding, he viii be admitted 70 the

II we turn from the public to tho private
life Of sherman, we find that the spirit So
restless and daring in the field, was indul.
gent and affeetionate at home. Between
himself and the members Of his family *.
listed devotion singularly close and tender.
and in the long years Of repose that fol-
lowed an active and cyentful life, he found
all the domestic endearments that fiial M.
lection and gratitude could best0w.
In 1880 he married Miss Cox, Of Ken
lucky, who was distinguished for great
moral worth, intellectual accomplishments
and personal beauty. His wife and a son
and daughter have preceded him, but he
had the qualification of seeing bis four re.
manning daughters grow into womanhood
and become honorable members OF society.
Assiduous and devoted, they watched day
and night by his bedside, alleviated his sui
ferings, cheered him by their presence, and
received his last blessing and farewell.
