THE IRISH VOTE NOT FOR SALE.

AA1E lhA,1 VIE MI I'm ''4AAsA-s
To the Union and American:
In looking over the columns Of your
paper, noticed an article, which read, and
not without a good deal of surprise, con-
corning the man who carries the Irish vote
in the pockets of his unmentionables. Now
there has been too much Of thar sort of
thing lately. | suppose the party alluded
to has political ak to grind. BY pulling
the wool over the eyes of the darkeys he
might secure his own election in the 18th
district, but you may rest assured that he
cannot control a cOrpOraTs guard OF
the Irish vote for himself or any
other man. Candidates should always
shun such fellows, as they do them more
harm than good. There have been at times
enc or two other chaps going the rounds,
/ and pretending to barter away the Irish
vote. In my opinion, and the opinion of
the Irish of this community in general q
speak from personal knOwledge), the only
way they could control the Irish vote solid
would be in voting them an intOlerable
nuisance and a sham to the Irish nation
ality.
conclude by hoping that there is no in
telligent American who believes that the
| Irish Of Nashville can be bargained for and
sold by such political hucksters- IL IS
Islander on Onr race which do not like to

CUBA.

NEW YORK, July S.-A letter giving an

Day in Puerto Principe, Cuba, says the
Instruction is fast finishing what once ex-
listed of virtue. Ii has worn down
10 the threads the flimsy tex
ture of social virtue, and except
among a few of the best educated and most
refined people, there is little attempt at
even a show Of feminine delicacy and mod
esty. Bands Of Young, rOllicking fellows
will stop under the long grated windows
and balconies and sing the rudest songs
with the most INDIGENOUS illusions, and
women and girls will flock to the windows
laugh and enjoy it.

The Golden Age tomorrow publishes
the following editorial:
Plymouth Church has adopted policy
of silence. 1t has seen the cunning tissue
of Misrepresentation and insinuation,
woven for the injury Of one man and the
protection of another, swept away, leaving
its artifice exposed to the public eye, and
vet. in the face of a universal demand for
explanation. il holds its peace. L. sees the
character of one whose good name they are
bound TO preserve, brought under terrible
suspicion. While millions in an agony Of
sympathy for him. entreat ii to open its
Inns and speak one assuring word it per-
sistently holds its tongue. The facts speak in
trumpet tones. The American people
asked for one word in behalf of man they
revered and loved more than any other.
One single syllable from lips that have
moved millions, and have a witchery
of responsiveness possessed by no
other one on earth, would have satisfied
them. There was splendid occasion and
there stood the man 10 fill IL, with
voice which would have gone like
Encland's drum-beat around the wOrld.
They listened in death-stillneSS and
were treated by a silence almost
audible. The fact admits of but one con-
structiOn, and whoever thinks, draws the
inevitable conclusion. There is a silence
more oppressive and ominous han that
Of death. The American people now know
hat that silence is.

TENAS PENSIONS.

To the Union and Americans:
AUSTIN, TEXAS, July THE card l
published in your paper IN tie early part OF
the month led many soldiers, who we're in
the war between the United States and
Mexico, to believe that they were entitled
to a pension under the existing laws of
Texas.
The act Of 1870 embraces only soldiers
who served IN the revolution which separa-
ted Texas from the Government of Mexico.
This act gives to each soldier $50 per an
mum up to the passage of the act of 1874.
The latter act reduced the pay to $50 per
annum, and made provision for the widow
or heirs of any soldier who died after the
passage of tine act of 1870.
The act embraces all who were in the
army or navy Of Texas.
Under the late ruling Of the Comptroller,
applications for pensions can be made any
time after the 1st Of July.
