Crime convicted, reads its own

shields the violator of the law.
Friends, influence and money are

Madame LIE Vert's Parior Entertain
mcnt.

Madame La Vert's entertainment
last evening in the dining hall of the
Sturtevant House drew a brilliant
company. She was assisted by pro.
iessional performers, and amateurs of
professional talent. She wore a COM
position dress of striped black and
white silk, trimmed with steel, and had
crimson roses IN her hair. She gave,
in a very entertaining manner, the
description of State ball in Buck
ingham Palace. Mrs. Mark NJ. Pom.
eroy bloomed, in an elegant blue silk
OF two shades, trimmed with blue vel
vet of still deeper shade, Swiss
rufie, and white shoes peeping out
from under the rich ilounces; the over
skirt iooped with roses. She, with
Mr.. Bird, gave selections from "Much
Ado About Notbing;" and if there
had been no other merit, her lovely
presence would have won the applause
which their performance received.
Amy Jenner, in mauve silk; Pompa
dour neck blonde rufiles, and black
velvet, overlaid with point lace, sang
how "Young Jamie loved her weel."

GALVESTON, juno 27.--A Washington

Mercury, says that Williams, the United
States ex-Appraiser of your city has
reached here, and is promised an i'm

ant changes have taken place on the
Indian frontier. All the agents of the
civilized Indians have been removed ex-
cept j. B. Jones, agent of the Cherokecs,
and central agent has been established
at Fort Gibson. The Cherokees, Chock>
taws, Greeks, Seminoles, Chickasaws
and other civilized Indians will be under
agent Jones.
This is thought to be an experiment on
small scale to familiarizethe Indians
with sell. government under the future ter
ritorial organization. A number of prom
inent Indians will take strong groun1
in their coming annual elections in favor
of sectionalizing their country, terrific
rial government and citizens, in the
United States.
The Oaklahoma Star, published at
Caddo, in the Choctaw Nation, strongly
advocates this doctrine.
ROME, june 81. The Pope to-day re-
celved a deputation from the Roman no>

impious and miserable work of the sons
of darkness. The Pope added that he
had received letter urging him to leave
Rome, because his person was not safe.
He declared he would remain here as

The News copies an article from
the New Orleans Republican on the
recent hangings and other lawlcss
outbreaks In this State. In its com
ments on the Republicans article the
News unfairly seeks TO throw the
blame upon the present Democratic
State Administration, and not when
it belongs of right to the utter failure
of the military, and the Republican
Government that has ruled the State
since the close of the war. With .
depleted treasury, with doubt and
distrust in every department of the
State, with tull-grown villainy every
where, the present administration
has fought at a disadvantage; ater-
rlble fight against lawlessness, and
please God, will whip it in the end,
Notwithstanding the News lends its
aid to the opponents of Gov. Coke.
One Of the hopeful signs of future
agricultural triumphs is the abundance
and variety of fruits in our Texas mar,
kets. The cultivation and Improvement
of our native varieties,a and those which
have been domestlcated here, is one of
the most fascinating employments within
reach of the farmer, aud there is cerN
tainly none other that yields SO large q
profit, either in money or satisfaction.
In view of the Importance to health of u
liberal supply Of ripe, wholesome fruit,
and more especially, in our climate, the
culture Of fruit up to its highest stand
ard should be unremitting. The old
theory that apples cannot be grown here
has been effectually exploded by the ex-
pcrience of fruit growers this season, and
now we hope to see a vigorous effort
made to plant fruit tree upon every
vacant spot Of ground upon our farms,
and after the shrub is started, receive the
attention and care 1t is entitled to, in
view of its real and intrinsic worth
An English Earl has fewer privi-
leges than is generally supposed. The
Earl Of Marlborough became intoxica-
ted the other day, and, being an Earl,
the fact was ,telegraphed over the
world. What inducement does that
offer for an Englishman to become an
Earl? The fact might not bave been
circulated so widely but for the fact
that the Seargeant-at-Arms of the
House of Lords, thinking him drunker
than usual, eoaxed him into private
room and left him there, whence he
disappeared on the I'd inst, and hasen't
since been seen. THE great country
is to be felicitated on the fact that it
has no such-Sergeants-at-Arms.

Shackling the Press.

Secretly and by unexplained pro-
cesses the Carpenter and Conkling
bill for muzzling the press and sitting
free discussion was passed after all,
probably much to the establishment
of the country at large. 1t was a bill
calculated to go through much better
in the dark thar the light, and doubt
less few of those voting for it would
care to have their constituents know
that they gave their support to meas
ure whose object was to restrain and
embarrass the educators of the peo-
pie. This bill confers jurisdiction of
criminal libel upon local courts, giving
them power to arrest parties charged
with libel anywhere and take them to
Washington for trial. This is one of
the grossest and most directly inquis-
itorial and tyramical acts Of centra-
Iization that Il Radical Congress has
yet undertaken, 1t is intended to put
an extinguisher upon criticism OF past
and present corruption and open the
way for, if possible, more fragrant vio-
lations of honesty in the future. In
passing, it is well to consider who it is
that thus aims a murderous blow at
free speach in this Republic of boast,
ed liberty. Prospecting Of this char
acter everywhere hits upon Radical
influences. In Pennsylvania the law
Of libel was constructed for the use of
the Philadelphia Ring, and the editor
who charges man with public rob-
berry Of $4,000 is guilty of technical
libel should the sum prove $1,000 or
$4,000. Of course the wickedly ar
bitrary and unjus. character Of such a
statue is apparent even to child, and
law especially licensing public thiev-
ing could not better protect that too
common practice in Philadelphia. In
New Orleans, by a secret order of the
Radical Government, the forms Of an
opposition paper are seized without
warning or explanation. 1t is all a
part Of the sa ne warfare upon honest
criticism, but the duty of the press is
now to be ten-told more vigilant and
complete in its exposures, and the
peoples thanks and support will be its
reward in the end.
If the people of the country are in
favor Of this sort Of arrangement let
them still continue in power the Re-
publican party. We say let the light
shine, and let the newspaper press Of
the country continue to do its whole
duty in fern citing out and exposing the
corruption and rascalities of our pub
lie officials wherever and whenever
found. This is the doctrine of the
Democratic party. Choose We.

SADLY DISAPPOINTED. The indica-
tons are that the Republican press of
the State is sadly disappointed that
w. II. II. Bingham heads the Demo
cratic State ticket. Not being able
to say aught against Mr.. Bingham's,
capacity, integrity, Or character, their
attempt was to so misrepresent his po-
litical action in the past as to preju-
dice Democrats against him. Hence
the Phoenir said, "NIr. Bingham has
voted and acted too many times here
tofore with the Republicans to head
the Democratic ticket The Freeman
had it that he sis too good man to
receive the Democratic nomination,
aud besides has lost caste by voting
with the Republicans for men and
money to put down the rebellion
Other papers of that faith had stories
of the same sort, only more so, but
without avail. MI Bingham, who
has never fatered in his Democracy,
was unanimously nominated, and now
iflots of Republicans vote for him
their papers can find no fault, for if
they are not liars there is no reason
why the Republicans cannot vote for
him.-Monpelier Argus and Patriot.

DEALINGS IN CODA writer ia the
Daily Bulletin has called attention to
a curious contradiction in President
Grants note to Jones, of Nevada, en-
closing the famous hard.money men,
orandum. In this note Grant tells
Jones that his request for a copy of
the memorandum sis received, but at
too late an hour to comply with to-
night. | will, however, take great
pleasure in furnishing you copy in
the morning as soon as can have it
copied" with this explanation he
concludes, 81 enclose herewith the
memorandum referred to-" The same
writer adds that ''it is fact well
known in the Gold Room that a large
and well-known banking house init
mate with the President, and in bust
ness relations with the Secretary, were
large sellers of gold, the amount being
estimated at four or five millions, at
Ill and over, on the day the memoir
audum was dated; and that on the
day it was made public, two days
after its date, they were the largest
buyers in the market at Ill These
facts the editor of the Bulletin finds
on inquiry to be confirmed by the
general opinion and belief of those
familiar with transactions in the Gold
Exchange" and thus, as he informs
us, ''the matter has peculiar interest ;
and the publication of the memorand-
UNI has a significance other than that
conveyed in the mere contents of the
document. ~. Y. Sun.

The uneasy ghost of the Virgini-
us affair, it seems, refuses to be laid,
and certainly the wrongs which it rep
resents deserve much more full and
speedy redress than they have receiv.
ed. If, as is reported, the United
States has instructed Minister Cush.
ing to demand of Spain full indemnity
for the prisoners slain by order OF
Burriel, Americans can afford to have
better respect for the Government
which, in its recent diplomatic rela.
lions with Spain, has been chiefly con.
spicuous for its weakness and timidity.
If Secretary Fish can carry out his de.
mand and gain the end which he pro.
poses by diplomacy without precipi
tating war, he will thereby atone, In
part at least, for the Indifference with
which he has managed our Spanish re.
lations. He is reported to have made
prompt demand, and one quite as de-
cided and peremptory as that made
by the British Government. Great
Britain insists upon a double indemni-
ty, the families Of the prisoners de-
stroyed being according to its terms.
