THE GREAT BARBECUE.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR DkL.
LAS.

The 3Oth, so long and so eagerly
looked for, has come and gone, and IN
It's fleeing hours has recorded another
great triumph of the enterprise, LIBERAL
ity and magniiicence of Dallas general
". The day was everything that the
most enthusiastic democrat could have
asked for, clear, crisp and bracing, ana
by the time the sun was clearly up
crowds could be seen pouring rom
every direction, so as 10 he on hand
early and see it all. As the trains
from the east, south and north came
in great interest was manifested
among the gathered thousands to
know what ones of the distinguished
speakers had arrived. And when 1t
was known that Hancock, Reagan and
Schleicher had been kept away by the
eXigencies of the campaign in their
respective districts, and that Culoer-
son had been pro strated suddenly on a
bed of sickness, and thereby prevent
ed from being present, there was a
universal feeling of disappointment
that the opportunity would not be pre-
sented to hear these distinguished Tex
ans.
In pursuance of the previously pub
lished programme, the various COM
mittees of the occasion and the invlt-
ed guests met at the Board of Trade
rooms promptly at ten o'clock, for the
purpose of forming the procession to
move to the grounds, where the speech
es were to be made and the barbecueo
meats to be spread. After some delay
caused by detention of the train on
the Central road, the procession got of
in good style under the marshalship o.
Colonel w. G. Holland, aided by his
efficient assistants.
On reaching Puts garden, Colone
Holland, the marshal of the day
called the vast concourse of people Il

truth, aud whenever there was the
slightcst indication nf close, there
went up shouts uf "G0 on; go on"
We dare not attempt asynopsis Of the
speech. II must answer to say that he
traced the genius of liberty from its
birth among the anCicnts, through the
thousand years Of struggles, down To
the hour when raiiculism laid its inn
pious hands upon the emphlcm OF
our freedom as people. CHANGING
RAPIDLY nj the condition OF modern
Greece, goadrd to dcsp0tism hy the
Mussulmen-at poor Poland, dissected
and parttiomed among the crowned
heads of despotism - at Hungary, ruled
by the tyrant house of llapsbrug-at
Ireland, the land Of Curran, Gratten,
Phillips, Emmett and O'Connell-.for
three centuries ruled by the iron heel
of English oppression, he passed
with the power ola master to the birth
and growth of liberty in this country.
He passed thrilling eulogy on the
fathers of Connecticut for hiding the
grant of their liberties in the Charter
Oak at Hartford, and said that now,
although that venerable old monarch
of the forest had been torn to atoms 10y
the thunder bolts of the, storm, the
people of that gallant and noble state
wefe, arising in their majesty to rein
vigorate its roots and make it once
mare the emblem of freedom and
safety.
p Contrasting the, past glories with the
Y ppresent humiliations and corruptions
he bade the people be of good
cheer. The day Of redemption from
oppression and official corruption is at
hand, and soon the north, the south, the
east and the west will join hands and
voices in universal shout of joy at
the redemption of their land and tho
return of grand political jubilee!
These thoughts were carried forward
to the most benificent conclusions, and

amid thunders of applause and was al

THE Tyler Reporter is publishing a
series of interesting and able editorials
on the matters that will come before
the constitutional convention. In its
issue of the 3lst instant it shows clearly
the propriety, if not necessity, of va
eating all state and county officers, and
letting the people fill them again.
This seems to be the idea with all
the papers that have so far expressed
themselves. A new deal all round is
what the people will demand.

"SUNsET' Cox, member of csDgress
from the city of New York, addressed
a rousing ratification meeting of the
democracy of New Jersey, about ten
days ago. He is one of the boldest and
best of northern democrats, and never
speaks without making at least one
point that his hearers Will always re-
member On the subject of the treat
ment of the south by the radical party,
he said:
CAT the close of the war; we were
given to understand that the south was
on the road to prosperity and wealth.
In 1866 pack of men came in with
their reconstruction laws sneerlnglyI j,
reconstructing their reconstruction /;
and what good do they derive from 1t ?
The republicans say that in Texas and
Tennessee, and some other southern
states, every one is contented. Yes
but my dear sirs, those places are un-
der democratic rule. In Louisiana the
republican party is rotten--rot-
ten to the core. See what they
are doing there to intimidate
democratic voters. And in TINS
state such respectable mens as Marcus
l.. Ward are backing up this adminis-
tration. In congress / have voted
money time and again to clear out the
snags in the delta of the Mississippi
river in order that all that inland coun-
try might have an outlet to the sea-;
but all the mud and all the snags we're
not one-half as bad, not one-half as
damaging, as radical rule in the south.
don't care who is in the way, Gener-
al Grant or the republican party, but
somebody is in the way Of honest gov
ernment. VINO keeps the wheels in
motion in Louisiana now? Why, Ca
sew. Calling guns and brOther-in-law!
That's what's the matter with LOUIS
lana. Now where is the relief of all
this corruption? Grant has tried it
and failed, The republican party has
tried it and failed; the people of Louis
lana have tried it by means ofa reVolu-
ton and failed. Now, where is the
relief? 1t is just here. 1t is only in
the public opinion to be expressed by
YOU at the next election. Great ap-
plausel And yet they say the repub-
iican party has delivered this country.
What have they delivered us from, |
should like to know? The position of
the republican party reminds me OF
the position of o doctor who went out
west to practice his profession. An
old friend met him on the street one
day and asked him how he was sue
ceeding. First ratew he replied.
"rve had one case" well, what
was that?r alt was a BIRTH" said
the doctor. "How did you succeed
with that ." "Wcll, the old woman
died, and the child died, but, by the
grace of God, I'll save the old man

Mr., WILLIAM CLEVELAND, of lnOfh-

our table several small branches from

missing and has been destroyed for
some time, as we are informed. sur
rounding these cups is n small triangu-
lar growth, which are ~ clusters, ana
about the size of n barley corn, OF
redish brown color, and about the con-
sistency OF a grain of unripe wheat.
The taste is similar 10 that of the post

hood say the stock fatten on 1t much
auicker than on the mast itself. What

ere It's maturity by the worm.

FROM tllf fbNkbN INNthllENt'I'l
We bon,t of our system OF education
We have female high schools, female
colleges, female mrdicpl schools and
female heavens. our girls are refined,
learned unt wise: thvyCuu sing, dance,
play pianos, paint, talk French and
Italian, and all the soft languages,
write poetry and love like Nenuse..
They are ready to be cOurted AZ ten
years, and can he taken from achoOl
and married uJ fifteen, aud divorced al
twenty. They make splendid show
on bridal tours, can cOqucttc and ilirt
at the watering places, and shine Liz,
angels at winter parties. But heaven
be kind to the poor fellow who marrics
IN the fashionable circles! What are
they at washing floors? Oh. we for
gOt-nobody has bare floors now; how
vulgar that would be! What are they
at making bread and boiling beef!
Why, how thOughtleSS we are, ia be
surc-they will board or have servants.
Wsat are they ut mcnding old clothes
But there We arC again--tlc fashions
change so often TINT nobody has old
clothes but the rag men and paper
makers now. But what are they at
washing their babies faces and pinning
up their trowsers? And here is your
inlolerahle stupidity once more--haV-
ing children il left To foreigners
What lady thinks of having children
about her now? or, If she is so unfor-
tunatc, don't she put them to wet
nurses to begin with, and boarding
schools afterward? We repeat, we
have come to point where young men
hesitate and grow old before they can
decide whether they can marry and
afterwards keep clear Of hankrutcy and
crime. What is the consequence?
There are more persons living Il
single life. Are there more living Il vir-
tuous life? 1t is time for mothers to
know that the extravaganza they en-
courage is destructive Of the virtues OF
their children; that MI the foolish eE-
penditures are, instead Of answering
that end, tending to destroy the insti-
tuition of marriage altogether.
