Such an invention might be used to very
great advantage in raising water from
streams for irigating purposes which
would do away with the heavy labor and
great cost of cutting canals and large
bitches. A reservoir could be constructed
near the stream, in which water would be
pumped whenever there was any wind
blowing sufficient to propel the sails, and
thus there would always be large supply
on hand, which could be tapped and dis
tributed over the land at will. In Western
Texas the farmers ought to have just such
pumps, so that they would not be ruined by
the drought. If they would pay little at
tentioT to machinery they might be placed
IN an independent position and always make
good paying crops.

RApICAL SHOTS.

Just now there is fierce little fight gong
on.between the Radical scouts. The meet
ing which was held here recently has let
out some bad blood or rather set it to boil
ing; and the consequence is that things are
called by their night names. The San An
tonic Express which is an ultra Radical
paper, but now edited with more decency
and ability than formerly, lets fly a shot at
the squad of Radicals who recently con-
vened in this city. Speaking of the Federal
judicial district, that paper makes use of the
following language;
The territory is too large for two, aud
the population and business are rapidly in
creasing. And we know of no more fitting
man than either Judge Walker or Judge
Ogden. But the rumor of desire to pro-
vide, in the subordinate places, for certain
iHe1tbi of the Republican party in this State,
whose folly, and general odlousness with
the people, have done more to break the
party down than anything else,. is simply
disgusting. Boys, adventures, and men
who have never done anything for the Re
publican party but use it for their own
greed have beer given all the State and
Federal rnatronaoe in Texas with "a few.
honorable exceptions, 10 TI1 vxUTuSloll ri
gentlemen of standing, influence, and
talents, who have given the party all its
character IN the State. This has laid the
Republican party flat in this State, and will
continue to keep fiat until the evil is re-
moved.
The same paper then pays its addresses to
Tracy, basing its remarks upon the report
ofthe Galveston Mercury in relation to the
Radical meeting here, in which Tracy de-
nounced the Federal administration for its
corruption. The Express scalps him in this
style:
Tracy is beautiful fellow to denounce
President Grant, postmaster Whittlesey, OF
anybody else. Tracy talks about buying and
selling offices Could the history of his
buying and selling offices, and the various
kinds of ''boot" he took in his various
transactions be made known, he would nc
more make such speeches. And it can be
made known. He is only angry because he
overshot himself in the insolence of his
corruption, and lost everything, and ther
yainly tried to get the postofice back after
1t had been given to Whittlesey.

A srRANGER RETURNINc.


Last week we all witnessed the United
States Senate engaged for about twenty-four
hours at stretch in passing bill for the
benefit of the negro, merely out Of sentl-
mental sort of difference to the wishes of a
deceased Senator. Respect for the dead Is
incumbent on us all-but legislation should
be based on a careful and wise regard for
the welfare of the living, not upon ''man-
dates. . real or fictitious, of the dead. The
negro has had a very fair amount of pro-
lection. 1t is important, efore going any
further, to find out what use he has made of
the freedom given to him; in what way he
has exercised the vast political powers with
which he has been endowed; what sort of
a government he has helped to set up in the
States where he is most powerful; whether,
in short, be at this moment stands in need
of protection from the white man, OF
the white man stands in need Of
protection from him. If Mr.. Eaton, the
newly elected Senator from Connecticut, in
tends to raise these questions, depend upon
it he will obtain an audience, and be can
not be suppressed by howls and groans-and
We for our part shall not join in any such
attempts at suppression. We should like
to see the question taken up by Republi-
cans. Mr.. Carpenter made a great begin
ming in reference to Louisiana. Such a
work would be far more conducive to the
prosperity Of the party and to the cause Of
good government now and hereafter than
the headlong passage of sentimental bills IN
favor lof the negrO.-Aeg York Tines
Aay &c.
The above declarations are cheering in
deed-glorious. They show the dawn Of a
better day-that the long. ing night Of
prejudice, hate, misrule, corruption, oppres-
sion and revenge IS passing away. The
winter Of our discomfort is gradually yield
to more genial rays. Common ssnsss rhieh

pleof the United States is about to return.

The leading, thinking, reliable men OF the
Democratic party along with large ma
jority of the people deem it inexpedient to
have a constitutional convention yet, be-
cause of the financial strait Of the State and
the scarcity of money generally, but when
the Legislature meets again in January next
and money matters become easier, we are
sure the convention will be taken in serious
consideration and prompt action be had
upon the question. Houston Age.
Indeed. When did the Age find this out
Was not the Age in favor Of Constitutional
ConventionG Will the Age give us the
names Of the prominent Democratic papers
which opposed a convention. We mean
papers whose Democracy was of the simon
pure sort; not those which were all things
to all men, that they might float upon the
tide of popular favor. Come neighbor you
know we haveput you down as of the SQUARE
Democracy, and we hope that you will not
be found with the black sheep.
OF course it is not now expected that O
convention will be called before january
but the Age's article might be supposed to
assert that heretofore the leading members
Of the party opposed convention. The
article of the Age looks very much like 60
ing out of the path to make an attack upon
gentleman whose offending, if at all, was
only in accordance with the Democratic
platform and the wishes of large majority
of the Democratic papers of the State, and
we believe of the people.

LII oRDER oF ENoCH.


Brigham Young, the prophet of the Lat
ter Day Saints, is a shrewd business old fell
low, who believes in making hay while
the sun shines. Not satisfied with the
riches and honors which have been heaped
upon him by his faithful, ignorant follow
ers, he now desires to establish the Order of
Enoch, by which he viii have the full con
troll Of the soul, muscle and property of the
members of his church. Whoever joins the
order agrees and does relinquish for the
common cause CD all right and title to his
property forever, and further pledges him
self 70 obey Brigham and his priests in all
things. But 1t seems that the more intelli-
gent refuse TO be thus made the slaves, the
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the benefit and qualification of
the few. There are so many Gen
tiles at Salt Lake, and they have
acquired so much influence over the
Mormons that Brigham cannot manage
them, and they feel more independent
But at st. George, $50 miles south from
Utah, where Brigham spent the winter, the
people are completely under his influence,
and do whatever he commands. The pres
ent aspect. of affairs indicates split in the
happy family; and it would not surprise us
if the old leader of Mormonism was cut
loose from his moorings at Salt Lake and
drifted down south to St. George, and
finally passed off of the stage ''unwept,
unhonored and unsung." This would be a
fit finality to his corruption and venality-a
sort of poetic justice which sometimes does
Overtake bad men.

right to a voice in the government that man
had. To give woman the right Of suffrage
would elevate suffrage in this country"
The Democrats opposed the amendment,
while they would not yield admiration
Of woman. They did not believe that
women themselves thought that their hap
piness or dignity would be advanced by
having all the political rights of man con
ferred upon them; tha. neither in England
or this country had women demanded such
rights. They denied that the Declaration
of Independence meant females as well as
males. Just before the vote was taken on
the amendment, Mr.. Bayard made the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks:
'tHe said 1t seemed hardly possible that
the Senate of the United States proposed
such change in the very fundamental prin-
ciples Of government. That's such change
as this should be blocked out as an expert
ment, in utter disregard of that decree by
which men and women were created, could
hardly be believed. The sexes were differ
ent, physically and mentally, yet here was
this poor, puny attempt, in disregard Of
every experience, enlightened as 1t had
been by Divine inteposition. Such legisla-
ton as this was irreverent, and in defiance
of the law of God himself. It would give
two heads to the family, and there would
no longer be that unity, that subordinatiOn
required by the Christian marriage" !"
The amendment was finally rejected by
vote Of yeas nineteen, nays twenty-seven.
But we have seen enough to know
that Radicalism win not stop until
the laws Of God and man are set aside and
a government of prejudice. passion and
lawlessness is set up, and vice enthroned as
the chief divinity. The Bible teaches us
that the man is the head of the family; that
women should learn in silence at home;
that they should not have voice even in
the church, thus keeping them aloof from
any dangers, morally or physically, by be-
ing rudely assailed for any interest in
meeting of members, and preserving them
with all OF their feminine graces and
charms, the purifiers of our homes and ele-
vators of the good, true and beautiful.
But Radicalism would plunge them into po-
litical gatherings and destroy their influence
forever.

The thirtieth ultimo was observed gener-
ally at the North as Decoration Day, or the
day for strewing flowers upon the graves Of
the soldiers who fen during the late war,
either in camp or hospital or on the field Of
battle. The feelings Of the Northern peo-
pie have changed very much within the last
year or two; they even placed flowers upon
the Confederate dead, who still repose in
the soil north of Mason's and Dixon's line.
For this We are ready to give them credit,
and for every act which shows that they are
actuated by proper spirit. But there was
one little incident which greatly marFed the
the harmony Of the occasion and showed
that within the Northerners' breasts a
feeling Of bitterness rankled and
spirit Of intolerance had dominion.
While the procession was passing down
Broadway, New York, the spectators dis
covered the following inscription outside Of
one of the stores on Broadway, the proprie-
tor of which was a Southerner: Eve have
no flag to hang out to-day. The banner Of
Lee and Jackson, under which we fought,
is furled forever; but, remembering the
Federal troops who decorated the graves Of
the Confederate dead at Mobile and At
lanta, we close our doors out Of respect to
the Federal soldiers who sleep upon every
battle field Of the South This was enough
for the Federals. Crowds gathered around
the store throughout the day, and great in
dignation was manifested. Finally three
men passing along noticed the inscription,
pulled it down and threw IL into the gutter,
which put an end to the excitement, as the
owner of the store made no protest. Com
ment is unnecessary.
