GRANT CHECKMATED.

The failure of congress to pass the
Infamous force bill IL an unexpected
blow to the president. He has made u
wrong play and is badly euchered.
That he relied greatly upon the author
ity delegated in that bill for the means
of accomplishing much of his revo'l-
tionary third term programme, cannot
he denied. For weeks he and his crea-
lures iu congress have moved heaven
and earth to bring about its passage.
During the closing hours of congress,
he has been like Beecher, changing on
the ragged edge" of expectation. TO
see pet scheme quietly laid on the
shelf or deliberately neglected, was
more than he bargained for. Congress
did not stay the uplifted hand Which
was raised by this wsuld-he dictator to
strike down the liberties of his country
an hour too soon. If he ha'i ever been
clothed with the authority to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus, in order to
manage certain states in his own inter-
est, for "a third term, under color of
there being IA necessity for his guilty
usurpation, the results would have been
most disastrous, and might ultimately
have ended in civilwar. There would be
no telling where this man would stop.
The suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus in time of peace, once estab-
lished as a precedent, we should be u
free people no longer. Our freedom
would be farce and the country
handed over, bound hand and foot, to
the mercful rule of rich, powerful,
INSCRIPTIONS, bondholding aristocracy
of military rank and capital, the
mushroom growth of the war, social,
political, military and commercial
scum, brought to the surface by the
late war, and fastened upon us by 10y
atty and rascality, money ana bayo-
nets. The force bill is dead and buried,
and never to be resurrected while
democratic congress sits. This is the
turning point in the coming rapid Po-
litical annihilation of Grant and his
party. If it was deemed inexpedient
to bring up the force bill before the
new democratic senators took their
seats, it will hardly be attempted to
bring it tetore senate largely REIN
forced by democrats, and that in the
absence of the Other branch of congress,
which was not called together. 1t is
understood that no hope of doing so
was entertained hy the president, and
that his calling of the new senate to-
gether had to be done, in order to have
his appointments confirmed. These
combinations will probably he all the
senate will do, and then it will adjourn.

That a subtle and dangerous poison
permeates our social system is pain
fully apparent to the most casual OBJ
server. 1t is well for us to examine
into and note the source from whence
comes tine stream which is defiling the
purity of heart and corrupting the
standard of intellectual recreation in
this country. The most fruitful and
pernicious cause of the loose notions
of propriety, morality and religion
which are to be seen OH every hand Is,
first, the character of the amusements
of larger class of people. Their APP
petites and imaginations are Influenced
by lascivious and indecent dances on
the stage. The old fashioned ideas OF
what constitutes respectability are held
up to ridicule 10y the naked drama,
which goes hand in hand with the
worst forms of vice. Tie simple

THE VETO OF FTHE INTERNATIONAL.
BILL.

Governor Coke has vetoed the In
ternational nalcompromse bill. This Will,
perhaps, surprise his friends who read
his message wherein he signiiied his
readiness TO cooperate with the legis-
'ature in a fair and equitable ADJUST
ment of this vexatious question.
There was an evident disposition
shown in that document to settle the
matter honorably. The state looked
to the governor and the legislature to
preserve its credit and do justice to the
International company. His veto is,
to say the least of it, unfortunate for
both parties. That it will mill
tate against the credit of the state is
beyond all question. 1T leaves the
states relations with the international
railway company in quite as unsettled
state as they were at the beginning
OF the session, the mostof which has
been consumed in an effort to arrive at
satisfactory solution of the con.ro-
versy. The only thing left to show the
result of the work of the legislature Is
the production of an opinion by the
governor that so much lana

TEXAS AHEAD.

BY the Louisville Courier Journal
we learn that at the annual commence
ment exercises of the Louisville Hos
pital College of Medicine, on the 26th
of February, being the first exhibition
of the kind of that new but giant insti-
tuition, the degree of doctor of medicine
was conferred on fiftysix gentlemen,
hailing from New York, Indiana, Hi
nois, Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky, Ten
nesse ?, Texas, Florida, North Carolina,
Missouri, Maine and Mississippi, with
one from France and two from Hondu-
ras, in Central America.
No medical college in the union has
ever entered upon its career with as
brilliant prospects. 1t is u branch of
the Central University of Kentucky,
located at Richmond, in that state.
Among the graduates were I'll. E.
Baine, VIM. II. Booth and John H.
Leake, of Texas. DIR. Leake, young
Texan, of IndianOla, carried OIL the
palm, as the following awards show:
Professor Bailey's prize on Practice
of Medicine, to DR.. John III. Leake, of
Texas, and DR.. o. r. Schultz, Kentucky.
Professor Williams prize on Anato-
my, to DIR. John III. Leake, Texas.
Professor Bolling's prize on Obstet-
rics, to DR.. John I'll. Leake, Texas.
Curator's gold medal for best general
standing, to DIR. John II. Leake, of
Texas.
Five or six years ago DIR. Henry X.
Leake, of Indianola, All elder brother,
was awarded the three highest medals
by one of the other medical schools
of Louisville.
Bereft of their father since the war
and their mother tsister of DR.. f. E.
Hughes, of Dallas,) only year or SO
ago, we refer to the triumphs of these
worthy and promising young Texans
with unalloyed pleasure. Their hon
orable achievements have been won
by honorable department., sobr!ety and
laborious application to study, the
only sure guarantees To permanent
success in any avocatiOn.

A hand o patriots tried and true,
Whose locks are turning gray,
Among these old historic scenes,
Gather themselves to-day.
My Fancy steals into their midst,
With step SO hushed and low;
seem to hear their speaking hearts,
BE side the Alamo.
The tide of years sweeps by unfelt,
With all Lite's care and pain;
Texas belong, to Mexico,
And they are boys again
The proud desires, the dreams o. youth,
Stirall their veins once more,
As Memory proudly points her hand
To valiant deeds OF yore.
Again they see mighty host,
From out the distance loom;
IT'S Santa Anna and his men,
And nearer still they come.
They watch the sun still lower sink,
The field all dyed i'll blood;
They plant their proud, victorious feet
Where late their foes had stood.
"That was day worth living for, boys! !!
Twas April-let me see
Yes, twas the glorious twenty-first
That made our country nee!
We fought half-fed, we fought half-clad
But ah we fought like men
And, comrades, IL was something grand
To be II soldier then!
The San Jacinto river told
The story to he sea,
And Europe, listening from afar,
Proclaimed young Texas free.
And over sea. and over land,
Her beauty ShOne afar,
And Lords and Princes came to view,
The Young Republics Star.
And now, 1t is so long ago!
Aud after all our scars,
The star we placed upon her brow,
Is one of many ttars.
Our boys themselves are bearded men,
The dream all fades away,
And yet but yesterday IL seems,
We were us young us they.

Her sons are siatesme II, too;
No fields are half SO fair as hers
No skies are half so blue"
Yet still see softened shade
Upon their features spread;
They lower their voices, for t'iey feel
'Tis hallowed ground they tread.
They pause above the sleeping dead,
our heroes lying low;
The men who fought and bled and died
To save the Alamo.

OF all that gallant band;

Fearless in heartand hand.

SCHOOL EXHIBITIoN-The exhibition Of
gratifying success to the teachers, the schol-
are, and the large audience, who filled the
court room TO OVERLOOKING The examina-
ton of the various classes in geography,
arithmetic, grammar, &c, was very eredita-
bic to the efficiency oCthc Principal, Professor
Baird, and his assistants, Miss Gertrude
Richardson, Miss NJ. j. Wise and Mr.. Charles
l.. Dallam.
The exercises were opened with prayer by
the Rev. Mr. Gallaudct. Then followed Il
defamation by Master Eugene Anderson, n
young gentleman of the Tom Thumb pat
tern, which was followed with reading by
Miss Jennie Herman, Il very diminutive

and destinations by Masters VIM. Finney,

The singing by the children was very sweet
as children's voices blending in harmony
always arc-and showed the sllillful train
ing of their teacher, Miss Wise. An accom-
paniment upon the piano forte, by Miss
Mamie Cover, and one or two solos by Miss
Clara Archer and Calvin Gallaudet were
very well rendered. A dialogue was recited
| by Miss Clara Archer, Miss Smithson and
Miss Stoncbraker, and one by Master Harry

feature was a spelling match between two
sets of boys, in which one after another babe
"solum" "adcw,' received passport" and
stepped down and out, until the contest was
narrowed to Noble Mitchell on one side and
Jefferson Dallam and VIM. Barrow on the

down, and a bad spell of "scrivener" tripped
up both the others. The entertainment

THE TMToN-BEECHER CAsE.-This ap-
parently intermnable case drags YEARLY
along, with its mass of defilement and scan
dial. The evidence has been as contradictory
as it is possible for evidence to be- and the
sum of the matter is, in plain language, that
some one has lied. Public opinion continues
to be as sharply divided as ever, those who
believed in the innocence of the Brooklyn
preacher maintaining their faith as at the
first, while those who thought him guilty Of
the terrible charge, can see no reason to
change their opinion. The cross-examina-
ton of Beecher has been in progress for more
than week, and on every point where the
crime was alleged, Beechers testimony has
been an unequivocal contradiction. The
Cincinnati Gazette sums up the matter rs fol-
lows:
The whole scandal has resolved itself into
question Of veracty. The jury has to de-
eide which of the two sides is lying. So
overshadowing has this question become that
the public is getting to be interested in it, as
if were the sole point in dispute. Atten-
ton seems to be directed, for the timc from
the original charge, and people are asking
who is the perjurer, as if the discovery of
this were the fact to be settled Such gigan-
tic, wholesale, continued perjury as there is
in this trial has probably never been known
in the history OF courts.
