IN reply to our correspondent from But
Ter, we would inform him that the Attorney
General has given his opinion that the mag
istrates of the different precincts must be
elected by the voters of all the county as
heretofore. We think the present consti-
tuition clearly contemplated this mode of

WE notice, with pleasure, the Democracy
moving all over the State since the call of
the State Convention. Calls for county
conventions are in nearly every paper re-
ceived of late. The party is rousing itself
for the coming fight, and, when fully
reused, everything must go down before it.
We must make clean sweep of Radicalism,
from Governor down.

WE know that the honest Intelligent peo-
pie of Texas pay no attention to the re-

promised to do, or to shut its foul mouth
and behave with decency.

IT is rather laughable to see the State
Journal and the State Gazette attempting to
run the Democratic party. But they were

of the regular Democracy, and why should
they not be nowl They have one and the
same master. Governor Davis.

A REpunLIcAN paper cells Connor. the
late member of Congress from Texas "a
moral monster and another says, it is
encouraging to find a moral monster in the
Texas Democratic menagcrie." Now our
understanding is, that the "moral monster, y
so called, left the Democracy last winter and
went over to the Radicals, and is at present
associated with such virtuous men as Davis,
Newcomb & Co. The Radicals ought not
to be abusing their new convert and ally.

The question of whether little Clark used
to pay the bills of Governor Davis and Sec
retary Newcomb, when they travelled very
lovingly together in the days that are passed

that is. the question.

A private letter from Gonzales reports
the killing of the notorious Jack Helms, on
last Friday, about eight miles west of Lees

violence, die by violence, and in time soci-
ETY. will enjoy peace.

THE State Journal and the State Gazette
are still working lovingly together. They
are both much hurt at our article on the
''Credit of Texas" They would have much
preferred We should have written against it.
They seem even to be mad that we should
undertake to defend It. It is impossible to
please these noble brethren, and, indeed,
we are not at ali disposed to try. But they
are pleasing one another channingly. They
quote from each other, and compliment
each other and are united in their efforts to
niisrepresent the STATESMAN aud Its course,
as they were united in their endeavors to
secure the public printing. Both are the
trusted organs Of Governor Davis, though
one faunts the Democratic flag, that Il
may more efectually serve him.

The Pittsburg DispAtoh, speaking of the enor-
nous growth Of the pickle consumption of late
YEAR,, says that one Of the largest pickle
works in the country lie that OF a firm in that
city. It says: To procure material for their i'm
mense business the firm have, ~ before re-
marked, secured land and er ected buildings at
Shsrpsburg, where they cultivate forty five acres,
principally in horeerAdish and cabbage. the latter
being converted into sauer krant, for which puE-
pose they use steam and the most improved ma
chinery which has been devised for the purpose.
The kraui enter is novelty in it's way. and .ie
capable Of cutting 1D0 barrels per day. The
firm expect to handle several thousand barrels
of krant this season. The horseradish is grated
by machinery, which does the work m rysl-
lousy well. They make 3 speciality Of this latter
article of which they put up as much as any other
three houses in the Uuitsd States. IL IL regard
ed IS the best in the market, aud there is .
large and gro wing demand for it in every sec :
ton OF the country. We may add here that the
ShATpsburg mandatory embraces several build
ings and gives employment to . large number
OF persons during the season. Near Chicago
their barrel pickles are grown and put up. aud
are shipped from that point by the car load to
different parts Of the country. The firm will
handle this season an immense quantity OF pick
les, which sell at prices ranging from to 90 per
barrel.

WILMINGTON. DEL.
THE PRESENT CANAL AND BALTIE0RE's
ASHIP CAHAL.1

The pressure Of the suspended traffic through
the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal is too great
to give any one connected with it opportunity to
mature an expanded and comprehensive plan
for making it, at the same time with the present
extensive repairs, deep and wide enough for a
''Ship Canal" Such an enlargement, however,
may readily be made. hereafter, and it is worth
while perhaps to consider the objections made
by the Baltimore Gazette Gin the article reprint
ed yesterday, in this paper,) to the proposition.
The Gazette says that the demand OF that city
Is for waterway which will float the largest
ships and steamers bound to that port. Sup
pose it is. Is it any more practicable to
construct an entirely new canal, to contain
= depth Of twenty feet of water, than to add ten
feet to the depth OF one already constructed !;
II size is needed, why not enlarge, rather than
build sntire' Certainly ten feet OF excavation
Will cost less than twenty.
That the Ship Canal must end near the mouth
of the Delaware may be true, and may not, Its
advantage to Baltimore would be, of course,
direct way to the ocean. But this is not vital
need Of the commerce of that city, nor even
highly important one, except to its lines of
want to reach the Atlantic and bear away north
ward, as quickly as possible, and the trip down
the Chesapeake is long detour. But it is true
that, as compared with the voyage around Care
Charles, the present canal, contrary to the
statement Of the Gazette, would be a great ia
wing Of distance. Any one who will take the
map will see this. Upon rough estimate Of
distance from the chart, we may say that the
distance from the vharves at Baltimore to the
o,ean of Cape May, on the route now follow ed
BY the European commerce Of that city is from
1926 to $50 miles say IT'S, or over, from BAlti-
more down the Chesapeake to Cape Charles. and
l5O, or over, up the coast to Cape May while
the route to the head of Elk, across to DelAwaas
City, and down to Cape May, would be but about
l25 miles, and any canal which may be built,
however direct, will make the trip 20 Cape NAV
in the neighborhood OF rs miles The economy
of distance would therefore be very decided
As to freezing in Winter, the present Canal
certainly does, and 30 will any other, cut through
the Peninsula no farther south than the mouth
OF the Delaware. The difference in climate be-
tween Delaware City and Lswes may be percep-
tible to well made Thermometer, but to the wa
ter of an artificial canal ditch, the difference is
slight II any body in Baltimore thinks that a
way can be cut across to Cape Henlopen, which
will never freeze shut, We are Astonlshed at his
faith in the the Tropical character of Queen
Anne's, Caroline, and Sussex counties.
We adhere to our belief thStthe present Canal
should be greatly enlarged 1t should be able
accommodate much greater trade, in much
deeper ships, than it now does. 1t would then
serve the needs OF all our immense internal
commerce, and it would carry the ships of Balti-
more out to the Ocean with great saving o,
time and distance.

story: "a young man. resident in this city, who

cars bound for New York. In time he was met
by the conductor, but was unable to pay hlul,
and was put OF st the ueIt station. b Iardius

shoes and when the conductor questioned him
his shoes were not to be found. Being kind
hearted, the conductor let him ride until he
found them. which was not at once II this wav

HOW SHALL WE DErHRoNE KING GRAB

higher and more rigid standard Of honesty

US. The example of the Fisks and Tweeds, fiat
tered because they were rich and not despised as
their Characters deserved, has been sadly iur-

thousands Of young men, has grown into pur-
pose to be rich, by whatever means. Without

change and demonstrate that Content is better
than Wealth, and that if Wealth be sought. it
