The dispatches from the Texas from
tier, published in this issue, indicate that
the state Of affairs there prevailing, is
such as to cause apprehension of a seri-
GUS difficulty with Mexico. If tho au-
thorities ofthat government, either from
a lack Of disposition or from inability,
fail to check the ravages of the maraud
ing parties who are now engaged in com
hitting depredations along the border,
it will become necessary for the United
States to adopt summary measures and
perhaps send an invading force into the
Mexican territory.

Reputation was sort of yelled isr
sue at the last election in Virginia.
The party platforms let it alone, but it
was subject quietly discussed among
the people in their choice Of members
of the Legislature. In q very large
majority Of the election districts the
candidates chosen are known to- be
anti-repudiators, and it may be SUPP
posed that they represent in thia re
gard the wishes Of the people. In a
few districts only are the men elected
opensand undisguised advocates Of re-
pudiation. The position Of some Of
the new, membsrs may be set down
doubtful )" but there is no doubt that
bypr esent count the Legislature will
contain an overwhelming majority who
will not consent to disgrace the good
narae of Virginia by repudiation.--

During the last session ofthe Legis,

During the last session ofthe Legis.
la ure much time was spent in en-
deavoring to locate another Lunatic
Asylum for the benefit of that most un-
fortunate class Of our people. The
Legislature not being able to agree
upon any point, nothing was done and
hundreds Of lunatics are forced 10 re-
main in jails or in apartments pro-
vided by friends where they cannot re-
ceive the benefits of the curative
treatment which theylwould receive at
the asylums. Would it not be we'll
where so much is evolved to throw
aside all local considerations and legiss
late with a view to the interest of those
for whom these ,asylums were in
tcndeds They need relief and that at
the earliest practical time. There
should be no delay. Let appropriations
be made, for charging the asylu,ns
now used, and as soon as the buildin gs
shall have been completed lunatics can
be transferred from i'll adapted jails to
the asylums. Independent of the
great benefit to be derived from this
action by the sufferers, economy in the
expenditure Of State funds would seem
to demand the same policy. 1t would
certainly cost less to enlarge the asy-
lums now used, where every department
is well organized and supplied
with all of the necessary apparatus for
cooking &c. than to erect new buildings,
organize new departments and purchase
all the necessary furniture, apparatus &c.
There is no question Of more real i'm.
portanoe than this to engage the atten-
ton Of the next General Assembly and
We hope that it will receive the prompt
attention Of our representatives.

In this estimate we have placed Flor

their last elections. But even the Re-
publicans themselves, will concede q
part of these to the Democrats, while
there is not reasonably doubtful State
IN the Democratic column. Not count
ing Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina, the Democrats will have one
hundred and sixteen electoral votes in
twelve Southern States. Add to this
the vote Of New York, and there re-
mains but thirty three votes to come
from the remaining Democratic States.
The result ofthe elections OF 1878
does not affect she prospects of the two
parties now struggling for National su-
prenacy in the least. The Republicans
have only reclaimed a portion OF their
own States. Every day the situation is
viewed, the Democl attic party is strong.

inevitably win Id 1876, is only a matter
of doubt in go far as it may be apprehsn'
ded that the party in the coming Com

GUS act of folly which will turn it. own
members against it as in Ohio and PEN
sylvania. A clean record in Congress
and a sound Democratic platform in the
National Convention will make victory
certain. ..

The Cincinnati Commercial des.
cribes the improved process of hog
slaughtering in Porkopolis, by which
in the space of two and half minutes
a hog loses his place in the world as
portion of the vitalized creation and
becomes so much bacon, SO many spare
ribs, and such quantity of lard. The
porcine grunters are driven up to the
gangway to the slaughtersper, where
an ablesbodied colored gentleman claps
a chain around his hind legs, and the
pressure of steam lever jerks the
struggling and loudly-squealing pig
into the air, and before he fairly com
prehends the situation another man,
CORY to his very armpits, plunges a
knife into his throat and taps the life.
current. There is constant line of
stuck hogs passing down an elevated
bar, and when they get to tho end of
it they are dead, and are pumped into
an enormous tank of boiling water.
The great personal pride of pig
sticker is to have. very. little If any
squealing on the part of a, hog. The
hogs take their postSmortem warm
bath, into which they are plunged from
the iron rod eight and ten at q time,
and by means Of a revolving iron skid
operated by steam, at one end Of the
tank, are thrown out singly upon a
long wooden table, on which they are
scraped by twelve or fifteen men. TLey
start in rough, shaggy, and dirty at
one end of the table, and reach the
other end as clean and white as may
be. Then they are cut up into all the
various forms of pork-hams, shout
ders, middles, &c.-and the men who
do the cutting use their knives and
saws with the skill and precision of
anatomists, cleaning bone when it is
to be thrown away SO perfectly that a
hungry dog would pass it by in dis
gust, To cut up a thousand hogs is
now considered only fair days work
for one man.

ssOUR SET" AS rule, those most
solicitous about social status have a
reason for being so, and those who
think least about it have the most solid
footing. 1t does not occur to him
whose social position is unquestioned
to discuss it, but to him who is climb

self in the place he covets, it is an I'M
portant and interesting question; hence
his lnterminable talk about family"
This idea Of making out that ones res
latives and friends comprise q body Of
the elect superior to ordinary people
has taken astonishing root in the soil
of the Republic: A stranger can
scarcely enter any village or town of
the Union without being confidentially
informed as soon as he gets into the
place that society is very good there. "
The young men and women of the
large towns are constantly talking
about sour set" There is diligent
search after the genealogical tree and
the coat of arms. The ancestral hall
is propped up with documentary evil

seal rings, cards, and letter paper, and
found even on few carriage panels.
One of these pieces Of blaxonry, be-
longing to man Of Irish descent, irre-
proachable in himself and his family,
furnishes clever satire. 1t is compos-
ed of shield reposing on crossed
