Cary was gentleman of much refine.

by devoted piety and strict attention
to duty. He was worthy son of the
church, brave soldier of the cross,
fighting sin, helping the helpless and
doing everything for the good of his
race.

TEXAS AND PACIFIC RAILH0Aa.

While not sufficiently advised, we
fear there is too much reason to be-
lieye that work will be suspended OH
the Texas and Pacific railway, and de-
lay Its oXtention West to Fort Worth
and El Paso.
We may differ with some of our
neighbors on this subject but our
opinion has been and srll is, tn at the
welfare OF Dallas would be promoted
by the rapid extension of this road
West, AT no time have we had the
slightest dread or jealousy of any
town West of this. We have been
honest in the belief that no very con-
siderable town would grow up between
Dallas and FL paso. The position of
Dallas, by natural laws and legiti-
mate development, iDsures her per-
nanent growth and controlling COM
mercial influence in North Texas. 1t
Is idle to think any town near by can
rival her already assured position,
Thus thinking, aside from general
principles which always control us,
We have been and still are anxious for
ths rapid extension of the road West.
We regret that the signs of the
times are against the early realization
of this hope.

HATE.

The devil is the master Of the mon
stcr, hate. He hates all that Is gentle
pure, angelic or godly. He hates vir
tue, love, purity, honesty, temperance,
confidence, friendship, tenderness,
modcsty, frankness, sincerity, self-de-
nial, hospitality, charity, faith and
hope. He delights in vice, hatred, vul-
garity, dishonesty, inebriety, dstrust,
cnmity, sellishness and detests all the
graces and virtues. He is, par eccei-
tcHce, the evil one.
So, in modified sense, il the politi-
cal corruption Of to-day. The Radicals
of Texas know they are in hopeless
minority Of the people, yet they desire
to circumvent and rule over us by fraud
or by force. They are callous to our
sufierngs and rejoice at our calGmities.
They are the embodiment ora corrupt
ed association of men, controlled by
cruel sel,tshness and cold-henrted am
bition, Freemon of Texas rise as one
m0u and vote against them.

WISCONSIN has done gloriously. She

which insures the defeat Of that hater
of the South, Carpenter, for re-eiec-
ton to the United States Senate. The
Radicals insist that Democracy is dead.
Well, we want to die some more i'll

can carry Ohio, Wisconsin, Oregon,

WE published yesterday morning,
the City Secretary's Report, showing
the financial condition of the city of
Dallas up to the lst Of October, 1S13.
The report embraces the period of time
commencing February 20, 1872, to
November Q, 1872, the expiration ofex-
Mayor Ervay'sterm of Office, and from
the latter date to the lst of October,
1873, covering the whole term of
Mayor Long.
.An examination of the figures and
footings will be found very satisfactory
to our citiacnsand the public a<nerally,
showing an excess of present liabili-
ties over and above available assets of
only some fourteen hundred dellars.
When it is remembered that there is
only one per cent ad Catorem tax
assessed, it can but encourage to come
amongst us, the taX-ridden and debt
ridden people of other cities.

TIE death of a Bearded Woman,
Madame Jacqueline Doublin, has been
talked of i'm Paris. She had a great
beard, and it was her pleasure to wear
the garb of man. Nightly, thus ac-
coutered, she visited the Chatelet The
alter. But, beard or no heard, she
could not escape the feminine destiny
of loving unwisely and too well. 1t
was significant that about two months
ago she shaved and resumed her petit
coats. She did this because she had
fallen desperately in love with lead
ing actor at the Chatelet OF course
the course of her love coursed
roughly-as a general rule men are not
attracted by women who are obliged
to shave every morning. So poor Mrs.
Sacqueline pined and pined and finally
succumbed TO her passion and died Of q
broken heart. Barbariousl

THE Democratic party is dead, say
tho Radicals. Well, let them think so.
We think that as the American people,
North, South, East and West, awake
from thegreat national hallucination--
in plain English, the great national
derangement-the everlasting princi-
pies of human liberty will arise rev
invigorated, as in 1900, in the days of
Jefferson, and the spirit of Democracy
will once more reign, as the dcws of
Heaven, only to protect, invigoratc
and exalt the people. An honest
Republican government, and a great
this is Democracy. \ strong tentralv
lied government, rotten to the core,
and weak, knee-bending people

Big Wigs Of the Supreme Bench.
Washington Letter to the New Iorl
Graphic.

Graphicl
The presidents task is not light
one, and he shows u disposition to Sc
lect with conscience and by all the
lights he can have. Two judges on the
supreme bench want the place, ana
are candidatcs-Miller aud Swayne.
Neither of them is up to the nice
height of law and temperament to be
and took and convey the chief justice.
Miller is too volatile, Swayne too
sleepy; and if either or any of them
is appointed the rest will pout. -
1t is great secret, but l let it out of
the bag, for we must have nothing
boarded nowadays land this reason
extingushes Judge Hoar on the first
syllable)-the Justices on the supreme
bench do pout.
You can make Judge Field take fit
If you shake copy of the New York
Times at him.
saw Judge Davis pout after the
Cincinnati convention like Waddy i'll
''Bob Nettles."
Judge Ward Hunt will pout as well
as any of them when he sees in print
this sarcasm of that rugged old OCon-
nor: "He isa very lady-like judge"
Judge Strong pouts at the constitu-
ton because the word God does not
occur in Roman in the preamble.
Judge Bradley pouts because now he
must make some law for railroad cor
porations, which is like the creature
making a code for the Creator.
Judge Clifford cannot pout on ac-
count of his fatness, but he would
make the best pucEer ever you saw If
they raised anybody oft tnat bench
above him.
The fact is that body Of men nearly
equal in ability, and as to rank,
jammed down, filled up, padded and
ballasted, get childish at personal
precedence. They must have gcwns
lust alike, and If one has candy to
suck all must have candy, or they will
never concur OH any opinion.
You should see the venerable dar-
KEY who puts on their silk gowns. By
faithful practice, over long period Of
wears, he can stretch like India rubber,
reach around Davis belly or up to Mil
ler's neck, or compress himself cores
poudingly. II is said that he learned
| this art in order to effect not to per-
ceiye any difference in such a jealous
brotherhood. And, verify, if even the
chief justice was allowed to have u
chevron oil his sleeve, they WOULD
plant him as was Joseph by his breth-

Sherman courier, November o.l
From gentlemen just in from the
frontier, we hear rGmor which, if9"-
ever, we hardly believe, to the effect
that Immediately after the release of
Santanta and Big Tree all the wild
tribes gathered together for a grand
pow=w9w among themselves. This
talk lasted for several days, Santanta
all the while counseling peace and a
compliance with the treaty recently
made, while Big Tree demanded re.
yenge for his long confinement, aud
declared he never again would make
peace. The warriors nearly all sided
with Big Tree who, becoming eXasper-
ted at the continual opposition of san
tanta, snatched a gun and shot him
dead, mounted his horse and called on
all who wished to go to Texas to fight
to follow him. All the young men
followed. m
If this report Is true, thoiF de"i!isb
work will soon be reported in startling
particulars from along the entire line
of our defenseless frontier. just now
in the full of the moon, is the time
they always select for their raiding ex-
peditions.
We shall hope for the best, butwe
fear that our frontier has not y peace

THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

A week since, after hasty consultation
with citizens from different precincts
of the county, we suggested the names
OF five gentlemen, one from each pre-
cinct, for school directors. 1t was
merely suggestion and nota dictation,
and we expressed at the time perfect
willingness to change the list or sub
stitute new one.
Since then we have received decided
psprossions of satisfaction from all
parts of the county. We therefore, rs
time is precious, now repeat the list
and shall print their names on all tick
cts ordered from this office, unless
otherwise requested by those ordering
the tickets. The names are as follows

bound to have one of the number, the
same as in the election Of Justices OF

WE have received from New York a
fascinating periodical, entitled The
Pen and Plow, published in the inter,
ests of us agriculturalists. The head
is an enticing vignette of a delightful
landscape, with fishing and swimming
conveniences i'm the distance. In the
foreground lovingly recline a male
Granger and female ditto, who SYM
pathize with the movements of a plow-
man In the centre, while they converse
and read and-and-well, aud carry on
the agricultural business ID the most
ATTRACTIVE manner Imaginable. The
offer of that farm and its accompani-
ments as a premium would induce us
to subscribe for The Pen and Plow.
The face of the female is turned from
the spectator, but, if we may judge by
the set of her back hair, she is exactly
the style of Flora to floor us.

BY referring to the proclamation of

be seen that an election will be
eld at the several voting places in the

Of the qualified voters of the city on
the following proposition, towis
"Shall the city Of Dallas issue fifteen
thousand dollars of city bonds, upon

amount already pledged; the remain
der of the one hundred thousand
dollars heretofore voted, to be paid on

atively on this proposition, but owing
to some informality the election was
thought to hp void.
