NEW STPREME CNERE.

.t Iuder the one-sided constitution the
Legislature is charged with the duty OF
selecting two places, beside Austin, at
which the Supreme court shall hold its
annual sessions.
We undertake to SOY there can he no
question about one of thcplaceS. Com
mon sense dictates that Dallas Is the
place. Centrally situated in the north
half of the State, with railroad connec-
tions North, East and '-outh-with the
largest law libraries in the Slate out
side of Austin and Galveston, with the
largest, finest and most costly court
house in the State just being finished,
and more accessible to twenty-five
counties west of all or railroads than
any other town, it certainly cannot be
yainsayed that Dallas is the place for
one term of the court.
We1ave not alluded to the subject
before simply because we thought the
facts were TOO plain to require refer
ence. Most assuredly the entire dele
CATION from North Texas will agree on
plan so plain and just.

All Mo0nshine..

One dark night, the darkness OF
which was lighted 10y the moon, the
inmates of quiet farmhouse in Ayr
shire were startled by piteous cries
from q little stream running past the
foot of the brea on which the home
stead stood. Ont ran the gudewife in
haste, thinking that the voice was not
unfamiliar, and when she got to the
burn there she saw her ain gudeman,
who had in just little too much of
John Barleycurn, on all tours in a foot
of water, in which the moon was
brightly reflected,
"Gude sake, John, We g0uk, what are
We doing there, standing like an auld
In that manner"
"Oh, woman, Jenny, is that you !?
I'm glad to see We, for | hae gotten
aboon the moon, and hae been in this
awful predicament fortwo hours, hang
ing on like grim death for fear should
IA and be killed beyond recognition.
ken it's all right moo when yes here;
sac we'll just bath gang down the
either"
Jenny lost no time in getting John
out, and over a tumbler of toddy he
vowed that nothing should ever make
him soar so high again even on mar
ket nights.

We have heard that there was some
doubt us TO how our senator Mr.. Brad
shaw, of Ellis, and one of our Repre-
senlatives, Mr.. Kemble, of Ellis, would
vote for United States senator We
warmly advocated and gladly voted
for both Of those gentlemen. Among
other reasons, We felt sure they would
both vote for Governor Throckmorton
10: the United States senate
We believe that nine Democrats out
of every ten in Dallas county and in
this district prefer Throclmorton to
any other man in Texas, and il Messrs.
Bradshaw and Kemhle vote otherwise,
they will misrepresent their constitu-
ents, and those Of Dallas and Tarrant
to an objectionable degree. We have
no more to say but shall await the
result with deep interest,

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Galveston
News, from Austin, says II is quite
certain that Governor Coke will NOM
mate to the senate for the new Su-
preme court the following gentlemen,
viz: George II. Moore, of Austin, Tor
chief justice: Thomas j. Derine, OF
San Antonio, Richard $. Walker, Of
Galveston, Peter w. Gross, of Hous-
ton. and O. NJ. Roberts, of Tyler az
associate judges.
Ex-Governor Coke does so, hard rs we
labored for his election, we shall feel
that he has committed Il gross act OF
Injustice. Not one of the gentlemen
named liyes IN the north half OF
Texas. North Texas is prominently
the Democratic or white man'sportl0n
of the State, and is at least entitled 10
one of the five judges. We have no
objection to either of tic gentlemen
named. Onthe contrary, four of them
are our old personal ana pollllcai
friends. But to take one from Calves
ton and another from Houston, in
sight OF each other, and not one from
the north half of the State, is an act
which 10 democratic governor should
commit.
Wetell Governor Coke and our Demo
cratic senate that no man who idehu-
fies himself with such q wrong can
hereafter get our votes. We have
given about %, 900 majority against the
Radicals. We have but one Radical
county (AIarion) in North Texas, anu
we will not quietly submit to be over
slaughed in any such manner. We
have i'm North Texas Reuben a. Reeves
and John ]. Good, of Dallas, Thomas
Brown and Silas Howe, of Sherman,
Chenoworth, of BOnham, ;. b. MaXey,
of Paris, and others in various parts
we'll qualified for the supreme bench.

BOTH houses of the Texas Legislature
have unanimously passed resolution
thanking President Graut for refusing
to aid the late governor +. j. Davis,
in his attempt oupset the government
of Texas. The whole people Of the
State, excepting those concerned in or
expecting to profit by the conspiracy,
honor the president of the United
States for refusing to aid the wicked
plot inaugurated by Davis and other
reckless men, to place them again
at the mercy of the bayonet in the
hands, not Of soldiers, but of the
.dregs of political society, directed by
,unprincipled men.
Each house has also passed II resou-
ton requiring the United States flag to
float from the dome Of the capital dur
ing the session.
The Northern people will see from
this time on low the people of Texas
have been misrepresented and SLAM
dered by the Radical press and pol.
iticians.

Nnah.s PrnYer in tho Ark.

In the Arabic and Syriac there is a
floating tradition of the form of prayer
believed to have he used by Noah in
the ark. The fOllowingis atranslation
of the prayer: 80 Lord, excellent art
thou in the earth, and there is nothing
great in comparison of Thee. Look
upon us with the eye of mercy and
compassion, deliver us from the deluge
of waters, and set our feet in large
room. By the sorrows of Adam, thy
tirst-made man, by the blood of Abel,
thy holy one, by the righteousness of
Seth, in whom thou art well pleased,
number us not among those who have
transgressed thy statutes, but take us
into Thy merciful care; for Thou art
our deliverer, and Thine is the praise
for all the works of thy hands for ever
more" And the sons of Noah said ;
amen, Lord"

A WORD TO WALL STREET-In summing
up the result of Tuesdays elections, the Gin
cnati Enquirer, the leading Democratic organ
in Ohio, has word to say to Wall street, which
ought to be distinctly heard by every merchant
and banker. 1t is not probable that any Demo.
cratic journal in this city will dare to put it in
print, and it is altogether too weighty and sig
nicfant to be lost Says the Enquirer: "What
does the result of this election mean? 1t means
opposition to the national bank monopoly. 1t
means that the volume of the currency should
be enlarged in accordance with the business in
terests of the country. 1t means that the green
back should gradually be substituted for the
national bank currency" This is doing pretty
well as it stands But the Enquirer goes on to
eulogize George H, Pendleton. the boss repu-
diatiOnist. and adds: "In marked and painful
contrast was the conduct of Allen G. Thurman,
who, failing in efforts to force the gospel of
Wall street upon the honest Democracy of
refuge in the midst of eastern capitalists, while
those who elected him were in death struggle
with the money power" Then it closes by
writing his obituary as follows: "Had we
adopted the Wall street platform, and made
him the fgure-head of the canvass, we should
have been most disgracefully beaten instead of
being able to record this magnificent victory"
There is no need to add our comments to these
most significant statements. Wall street is al
ways quick to see its peril The Democracy of
the West have thrown the gauge of battle to
the administration on our entire financial sys-
tenn. And the Democracy of the East claim
the victories in Ohio and Indiana as the tri-
umph of their own principles.-N. Y. Com.

Current Notes.

1t is the proper thing now to speak of John
Nixon as that sterling, old-fashioned,
straight-out Observation-Disclosures he opposes
Tilden.
Since the election the Terre Haute (Ind.)
Express has said that it was evident when
the Republican party took position in its
platform in that state in favor of temperance
its defeat was sure to follow.
The Republican State Committee Of Penn
sylvania has issued stirring address to the
voters, arraignins the Democratic party for
its reactionary tendencies and presenting
forcibly the issues involved in the coming
contest.
We now wish to warn the sworkers' who
are trying TO make the "third-term'' DOGGY a
reason for voting the Democratic ticket, that
if they are in any degree successful they will
bring about exactly the same result they
brought about in 1872; that is, they will flop
into wet ditch of their own digging. If
they set the Democratic beggar on horseback
he will, as before, ride to the devil.-The
Nation.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is, of course,very
happy over the result in Ohio. Here are
couple Of the points it makes: "The Democ-
racy of Ohio didn't repudiate Pendletonism
worth picayune on Tuesday. The atten-
ton of the New York World and of several
other newspapers is invited to the vote of
Ohio on the 18TH" And again: CAUCUS
tus Schell proposes to have New York cele-
brate the Democratic victory in Ohio. Sail
in Augustus. Yon are entitled TO toss up
your cap; but don't let those hard money
fellows appropriate any of the glory"

tenn, the protection of the sea otter trade and
the extension by Congress of the nominal laws
of Oregon or Washington to this district.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE report of DR..
Scars, general agent of the trustees of the Pea
body educational fund, is made public. 1t says
success has been signal in some of the more
nOrtherly of the Southern states, while in those
further south ground has been lost. The great
obstacle to be overcome is a deep seated aver
sion to taxation among the people. There have
been distributed SIS. 425 in Virginia, $4,000 in
North Caroliua, and 5000 in South Carolina,
where scarcely any schools are kept throughout
the year; Georgia, $40, 1850; Florida, 5000; Al.
ALBANIA, $4,000; Mississippi, unexpected sue
cess) $44OO; Louisiana, $3250; Arkansas, $8400;
Tennessee, $36,sOO; West Virginia, $500.
Messrs. Evarts, Clifford and Wetmore in
their report announce their decided opinion
that compulsory legislation by Congress in fa-
vor of mixed schools as system of public ed
ucaton will be most pernlcious to the interests
of education in he communities to be affected
by It, and that the colored population will suf-
fer the greater share of this disastrous influ-
ence The report was accepted, and approved
as expressing unanimous opinion Of the trus.

LEWISTON, Oct. 1S.-A desperate and we'll
organized attempt was made by number of
prisoners to escape from the Auburn Jail at 6
p. M, to-day. Lewis Robinson, alias Smith of
Portland, a prisoner, struck the jailor, Little.
field, with glass bottle as the latter followed
by Turnkey Wash0urn, was opening the Jail
door to serve supper to the prisoners. The
jailor was knocked down, but clutched Robin
son and brought him to the floor with him.
Another prisoner, Allen, struck the turnkey
and knocked him down. Allen then escaped.
The turnkey had conflict with Robinson at
the outside door and discharged revolver at
him. The shot took effect on the scalp and
Smith alias Robinson followed by the turnkey
then left the Jail through the door, but was
overhauled and brought back by the turnkey.
A colored prisoner named Lee also escaped.
dozen or more prisoners were about making
off when two or three of the loyal prisoners in
terfered, while girl prisoner named Sloppy
pushed back the crowd, locked the Jail door
and stopped further stampede. Lee was
caught within five minutes after his escape.
Allen is still at large. Neither officers nor
prisoners were seriously injured. The prison.
ers intended to have made an attempt yester-
day to escape, but were defeated.

Mr.. GLADSTONE has a deyouring ambi-
lion to discourse wisely on all subjects. All
is fish that comes to his net-Greek gods,
ritualism or the nature of the Third Per-
son of the Trinity. Of late he has turned his
attention to women's dress, and strikes in
this ponderous manner at the follies of fash
ion: "Take, sad as it is 10 strike for once at
the softer portion of the species, the dress of
English women, which, apart from rank and
special gift or training, is reputed 10 be the
worst in the European world, and the most
wanting alike in character and adaptation.
The so-called beauty is administered in po-
tentous doses of ornanentation sometimes
running to actual deformity. Who shall
compete with the awakened English woman
for the house of hair built upon her head or
the measureless extension of her dragging
train" Very likely the great statesman has
just been presented with bill for dry goods
run up by some Of his womenfolk, and it has
soured him.

LOUISIANA.
of ,he RETURNING Borad.

NEW YoYK, Oct. 1.-THE Times New Or
leans special says that four of the Radical
members of the returning board of elections
have agreed to resign to enable Kellogg to re-
construct the board with two Conservatives and
three Radicals. This is the basis of the COM
promise between the whites and Kellogg party,
and one of the conditions of peace in the flu
ture. Elk Governor Wells, the fifth member,
will probably resign too. If so we expect
quiet election, and if not there is danger ahead.
The Tribune's New Orleans special saws that
NJ. f. Bonzano, the umpire on the advisory
board created under compromise agreement
between the McEnery and Kellogg parties, has
rendered his resignation. He was the only Re-
dence of both parties. Packard, who nominal
ly resigned week ago, still acts as member
of the board, although Major Burke, the Com
sentative member who resigned at the same
time, has retired. Neither party has much
faith in the ability of this board to effect anv
have not been of nature to inspire such faith.
Trouble in the New Orleans Police De
partment.
The Tribune's special also states that COM
mittee of one policeman from each precinct
waited on Colonel Bray, treasurer of the po-
lice board, yesterday, for two months back
pay. They were told there was no money in
the treasury. The fiscal agent was then waited
upon. He stated that money ought to be in
the treasury, as he had placed $50 600 in the
hands of the treasurer and had received no re-
port of its disbursement. They then went to
Gov. Kellogg, but owing to his engagements,
failed to obtain an interview with him. Col.
Bray insists that he has received no money for
the police, and does not know where he is to get
any. Meanwhile, the police are dissatisfied,
and unless they are appeased, may resort to a
general strike, if not to hostile demonstrations
against the state or municipal authorities. -
There are plausible intimations from persons in
the confidence of the Republican managers
that the missing money was used in bounty
morey for recruits for service on the 14th Of
September. ~fytt n
