Legislature BY the last election law, op-
proved by Governor Davis, March -, 1875,
did otherwise provide by Law, by solemnly
onacting that precinct elections should be
restored, and thereforc ell The people could
vote in ono day. That they were right IN
fact is proved by the pregnant truth that in
one day now in Dallas COUNTY 2lQ0 people
voted, while in four days last year only 1915
voted-inerease 55f. In Collin, Tarrant and
Ellis the increase Is still greater.
We now repeat, as tho then repfosonta-
tive Of Dallas county, that the ahiett law-
ycrs IN both Houses conferred with Cover
nor Davis on this subject-that he and they
fullyagrecd that the new law was constitu-
tional-tlat Governor Davis ordered the late
election under the law-that be was himself
a candidate FOR rc-elcction-that his party
had State convention (hc being present
and participaling) and nominated . full
ticket under it-that his Seero.afy Of State
sent CUB blanks TO hold tho clcciion--that
by all the s0lemnities OF sworn officers his
party have recognized and acted under it,
that several Of his party voted for the law
that the Attorney General endorsed itscon-
stitutionality, and that in all the dohbeTa-
tions on the whole subject not one man,
Dcmocrat or Radical, ever expressed a
doubt as to the legal right Of the Legssia-
ture and Governor to enact the precise Inv
under which the late election was held.

party-not even in Texas. We do. And We
further believe most conscientiOusly that
the best If not the only chance Of putting
down Radiealism is to keep up the Demo
cratic party and organization everywhere.
The prejudice which he alludes to as
against the name, is not equal to the
strength which the name gives it with the
masses. If the new party is to retain the
same principles, why change the namea
The name and the principles are 50
interviewer together that they must stand
or fall together. The true principles
Of Democracy cover everything there is Of
good in the Grange associations. towards
which our friend Of the North Tepaa is cyl
dently leaning, while these new associa-
tions are altogether too narrow and re-
stricted in their formation and operations
for a great and successful national party.
The Democratic party has been tried and
we insist that it has not been found want
ing. Let US all cling to it as the ark Of
safety, and not embark on any new and un-
tried craft, which may go down, freighted
with all our dearest hopes, before it ever
reaches the harbor, which we are all SO
anxious to attain. The great fault Of the
present age is a disposition to run after
new and strange gods, ignoring the wisdom
and examples of the past. The editor of
the North TeUaa likes, we believe, the name
of Conservative-let him aid in conserving
the great Democratic party, founded by
Jefferson, Madison, and the other noble
fathers of the Republic.

RATHER SALTY.

Not'the style but the subject Of this arti-
Gle. We have been in Texas since the year
1862, and we have noted specially the fact,
that majority of its people, particularly
the older Texans, are 90 sparing in the use
Of salt. For the want of sufficient guam
tity of salt large portion of the butter
made and the meat laid up spoils and be-
comes unfit for use. There is no good rea-
son why butter and meat Of all kinds should
not keep sweet and eatable in Texas as well
as other States The only secret about
making good butter and keeping it good is
to get out all the buttermilk and put in
sufficient amount Of salt. Every one has
noticed how much salter the Northern but
ter is than the butter made here, and how
much more solid and compact it is. Whyg
Simply because they press out all the but
termilk and put in salt enough to preserve
it and prevent its becoming rancid and unfit
to put on the table. The old Texans idea
Of fresh butter is butter with no salt
in il Butter is frequently brought to this
market unsaltod, which win spoil in two
or three warm days. 1t is also full Of but
tcrmilk, showing that it has not been prop
erly kneaded over and pressed and made
suitable for food. This helps on the npid
process Of rancidity and spoilage. So Of
the meat. Half the bacon and corned beef
becomes unfit for eating Tor lack Of q little
more salt. And Why is salt used so
sparinglyl On account Of the difficulty
Of getting It, and its costl Not
50. In early times in some portions Of
Texas il might have been rather difficult
and expensive to obtain q sufficient guam
tity, but not now. In the southwestern
portions OF Texas, salt may Be gathered up
by tho wagon load, By anybody who chooses
and there is only the cost Of gathering and
transportation. And the railroads, now
penetrating other portions Of the Ssatc, fur
nish facilities for obtaining It at very rea-
sonable saies. At Austin, its cost per pound
is two cents less than pork, 50 that moth
ing would Be lost but something gained.
by using it pioutifully in the curing Of ha-
con. And in butter, stin more would be

for the palates Of somo people, they can

PoLITIoAL c0URTs.


All people of English descent have been
remarkable in past times for their reverence
of the judiciary and their obedience to the
mandates Of the law. AS a body, with few
exceptions, the English judges have been
distinguished for their learning and up
rightness, and they have ever leaned to-
wards the aInplest security to the rights and
liberties of the English people. It may be
truly slid that the Judiciary Of Great Brit
ain has been the.great bulwark against the
encroachments of arbitrary power, and it
is no wonder that the people have re-
gsrded it with reverence and sub
mitted to its decisions with scarce
murmur. 1t is true that in the long
list of iIlustrious judges who have adorned
the English bench, few may be found
who have dishonorcd and disgraced it by
pandering to power and yielding to bribery
and corruption, but these arc universally
held up to scorn and execration. The same
obedience to law and reverence for its cx-
Founders, which have ever characterized
the body Of the English people, also dis
tinguished their early colonists in this
country, and were preserved with increased
care and watchfulncss through a long Sc.
rics Of years up to their Independence Of
the mother land and the establishment Of
the great model Republic. Nor did this
cease with the Independence of the English
colonies. When the union was formed BY
the adoption of the Constitution, the Su-
preme Court Of the United States was hlled
with men of the most undoubted talents
and Of the very highest character; men
noted Tor their legal knowledge and incor-
ruptible morals; men in every way fitted for
their exalted positions-andt the consequence
was the most complete confidence in their
decisions and submission to their mandates.
SOFAS general thing, 4hc same may be
said Of the several State courts, which were
adorned BY such men IS Kent Parsons,
Tucker ShaElzey and host of Others who
might be enumerated. No branch Of our
general or State governments was ever 50
much looked up to and honored as the judi
ciary. L was held as the very apple Of
our eyc. and nothing was tolerated,
which was calculated to dim It's
brightness or impair its usefulness
Gradually q crest and SD change came
over tho people, 8 general falling Of and

OBTTUARY.

The funeral of Mr.. J. Davis. whose un-
timely death has been heretofore recorded
in our local columns, took place on Thurs
day and was attended by many Of his
mourning friends. We cannot let the Oeca-
sion pass without a few words Of merited
eulogy. Mr.. Davis was a gentleman Of fine
education and manners and of singular
honor and honesty in these latter days Of
downward progress. We have never known
one Of none sensitive nature anda higher
idea Of what was due from ono gentleman
to another. HIS department was faultless
and no one can say that he was everwroaged
BY him in any respect. Previous to the war
he was possessed. as We understand, Of a
liberal fortune in Louisiana. but since its
conclusion. eForything. seemed, As be re-
marked himself, to work against him. He
leaves two children, a son and daughter, the
latter but an interesting child, to whom he
was greatly devoted. May God take them
under his special protection and guidance,
now that he has called their dear father 50
suddenly to himself.

THE State Journal says that case has
been brought before the Supreme Court
which will test the constitutionality Of the
election law. We viii say to the journal
that the question is purely political one,
and tho Supreme Court has got nothing to
do with it. A judge in Louisiana made a
Legislature, but it is by no means certain
yet that it viii stick. This little game can
not be played in Texas. Legislatures can
impeach Governors and judges when they
attempt to reyolutionize the government
and take all power into their own hands.
The game designed cannot be played ex-
clusively by one party with all the shutting
and cutting by itself. The Radicals may
find out this in the end.

THE Journal asserts that we are ''snarling
over the grave of the Hon. John c. Con-
nor. This is about as near the truth as the
Journal can get about anything. We have
not said one word disrespectful Of the dead.
We did not indulge in fulsonc culogy for
we did not feel at all inclined that way.
What we said was moderate and truthful
We might have added more, but it would
not have been in cxaltation Of the departed
To be candid, we did not much admire the
character Of the man, but we would let the
dead rest in peace. Why the journal should
be so much interested in the matterwe can
not conceive. unlessfr from the fact that Com
nor was reported TO have turned Republic
can before he died. Perhaps this may ac-
count for the Journal aozirc.

WE have been locking over our election
table and making some corrections and adj
ditions, and we believe it is now inthe main
correct as far as We have seen returns. OF
course, many Of tho returns arc not official
and have been taken down from tclegraphic
and newspaper reports. Some We know to
be little too large and Others too
small from later intelligence, but take
them all together and we think the Of

WE know not what others may think
about it, or what may be done under the cir
cumstances, but our own programme would
be for the Legislature to meet at the ap-
pointed time, organize, pass the Constitu-
tional amendments, and inaugurate the Gov
ernor elect. If there should be any impede
mcnts' to the discharge of their legal du-
ties, they can be removed by the Sergeant
alarms by order of the Legislature. Dis
turbers of the public peace, and pretenders
to offices they have no right to, can be dealt
with by legal process. There is some
danger in assuming to act in an official
character without any authority. Should
judges attempt to revolutionize the State
and overthrow its government, established
by the people, they can be promptly i'm
peached, tried, convicted, and put out Of
the way of further mischief. The whole
thing seems plain to u.s.. ~

my ammunition failed, run for dear life,
and the Indians after me. At length, when
nearly exhausted, 1came to an abrupt prec-
ipice in front of me, at least five hundred
feet to the bottom. looked back, and
the Indians, with their tomahawaks up
lifted and their eyes full of fury, were close
upon me. Before me was the precipice, all
around the murderous and merciless sava-
ages What could / doly "What did you

THE jackson (Tenn.) Courier, in allusion
to the late election in Memphis, at which it
seems the Radicals triumphed by detection
of the old Wings, gives it as his opinion,
that the Democracy cannot succeed under
that name, but that the term Conservative
should be kept up. Well, that may suit the
editor of the Courier, who was osce a very
grabbed Wing himself, and who does not
like the sound of the word Democracy, but
what we hayeto say about 1t is this--that the
old Wings, who had rather vote for Radi-
cal than an old fashioned Democrat, not
worth conciliating; they are unworthy Of
belonging to the good old Democratic par
ty, and will do more harm in it than ont Of
it. They had better stick. soul, body and
breeches, with the Radicals. A victory not
won on principle, Is not worth fighting for.

By telegraph the report comes ol the
death Of Judge Nelson Of tie Supreme
Court Of the United States. 50 another Of
the great and good men, who once adorned
the Supreme Bench, has departed, and that
once dignifea and revered body has dwin-
died down to Williams and others Of the
same sort. It win now take years and years
to get another ultimate court, which can

guard to the property and liberties Of the

torm It and make It do their win. And the
threat has been literally carried out, and the
courts of the country from the highest to
to the lowest with few honorable
exceptions, have become the mere tools Of
a political party, regardless Of constitutions,
laws, or the plainest principles of human
justice. Should judge now decide in ac-
eordance with law and equity, but against
the party which appointed him, he * immc-
diately denounced, and got rid Of by some
foul means or other. Hence the most Of
our judges have become completely sub
servient to party and dare not give honest,
legal opinions, even If their inclination
prompts them to do right, which IS now
seldom the case. Who docs not know that
two new judges were put in the United
States Supreme Court expressly 70 oversule
the decision Of Chief Justice Chase on the
legal tender act. Their opinions wero de-
manded in advance, and they were in effect
pledged to carry out the wish of the Presi-
dent appointing them and the Senate
confirming them. S., too, whenever the
Radicals had the power to do it, they
have reformed the inferior United States
courts and the State courts into mere tools
to do party service and carry ont the wicked
designs and commands of Radicalism.
Look at the conduct of Judge Durell in
louisiana Could any thing be more bare
faced and infamousg Other instances might
be given, If it were not for making this arti-
Gle too long. And now it is being at
tempted in our own State, by decision of
its Radical court, to overthrow the State
government, established by the will of its
people, and to continue in power a set of
shameless usurpers without the shadow of
authority for an indefinite and unconstitu-
tional period of time. What the result
may be we cannot tell IN these days Of
monstrous absurdities and unparalleled cor
ruption We hope for the best, but we
must confess that we have our fears.
