THE DRMoCRArIo ORGAN AT WASH

Washington City is the graveyard of
newspapers. In thirty years perhaps as
many have been born and died there.
The Iatelligsaeer was entombed with its
founders. 1t was for more than half CEN
fury household god in each old Wings
home in all these States. Learning and
practiced skill have sought in vain to repro
duce it; but the simple elegance and direct
ness of the tasteful old newspaper have
never been accurately copied, and those ad-
dicted TO the pages of the faultless publica-
ton could never endure pItiable imita-
ton. The Gasette is the Democratic organ
at the Federal capital. It has been pub
lished many years, and since it has received
no crumbs from the tabDs of Dives, its IL
tegrity has never been questioned, and the
paper has been approved by the great body
Of the decent people of the Federal capital

Of the GssStte. Its editor, Hon. T. B.

man very like him in intellectual and mo-al
traits, and especially in capacity for earnest,
vigorous thinking, now occupies the chair

: HE COUNTY coURr SITS TO-DAY.

The court house must be built within five

the State. Such is the contract. 3he
court house will be a monument to the
Taste and intelligence of men constitute
the county court of Travis, and worthy of
q city which, before the current century
close may contain a quarter of million
inhabitants. 1t must serve, too, as model
for public buildings, and not unworthy of
the most beautiful and costly to be reared
by the State. This court house will endure
through a century, and be used by three or
four generations, and therefore they should
share the burden with ourselves, and it is
only obligatory on US to build such an edi-
fee that posterity will pay for it willingly.
Do not, therefore, disgrace the city of to-
day, or dishonor it in future, by uplifting
an unworthy monument to the taste, intel
ligence and progressiveness of the capital
of the future greatest Of American States.

xHE PaILosopHx or MONEY.


The Richmond Enquirer thinks that very
many people have no clear idea Of what
money is or should be. Very certainly they
have a confused notion that il is in some
manner connected with the precious metals,
and that with metallic currency there
must always be solvency and prosperity.
Paper money they regard as a delusion and
a snare. because the paper on which it is
printed has no material intrinsic value.
Now gold and silver they know has COM
monty accepted value. as well uncoined as
coined, and though this value has changed
very materially within the last three cen
turies, they stsll regard il as the most fixed
and satisfactory Of all values.
The fact Is, money Is the currency Of a
country, "the instrument Of association, ~
and, no matter in what form It is expressed,
il win command confidence in proportion
to the popular faith which which the asso-
eiation o. government which issues ii CON-
mands. As far as actual uses are con-
cerned, gold and silver are less valuable
than iron they have, nevertheless, con-
ceded value, which makes them tie mos,
wassefnl mediam Of exchange that can pos
sibiy be devised. The work Of coinage i.
adead loss 70 the country that coins them.
and their waste BY friction, and the rough
sweating process TO which they are sub
iected, adds to the measure Of that loss.

DEATH OF WILLARD RICHARDSON.

The story of Willard Richardson's life
has been recited, during his protracted
sickness, beside every hearthstone In Texas.
He was as widely and thoroughly well
known by name and character as his news
paper is ubiquitous in Texas. and the news
paper itself was the man in print. He was
kindly and generous and wise, or the Nesos
would never have won its way everywhere,
despite the denunciations of the jealous
and alike of those who honestly believed
its policy was shaped that thrift might fol-
low fawning. II life's worth be deter
mined by its ultimate triumphs, Willard
Richardson's was we'll spent, and wherever
the Galveston Necs has become part and
parcel of household, tributes of respect or
affection will be rendered the memory of
the venerable editor, whose successful and
honorable career terminated yesterday.

SOLITARY confinement is said to be per-
When we have, as soon will be the case,
five thousand inmates of the State prison,
these costing the people, or those employing
them, million or two dollars per annum,
solitary confinement is a slow and costly
remedy for idleness or violence. 1t may be
very agreeable to the sympathies and ten
der sensibilities of the hirer of convicts or
to the managers of county work-houses, but
will also restrict the dimes in their pockets
to SOLITARY" confinement, and these will
hardly approve that philanthropy which
spares the rod and spoils the profits and,
alike, the convicts. Such is the experience
of men dealing with desperadoes, and where
the lash is unknown we have many devices
of philanthropy more terrible than the lash
to which humane % prison keepers are ac-
customed to resort. The sweat box and
dropping of cold water drop by drop on
the shorn skull for hours, the thumb-screw
and tying up of the thumbs-these are the
blessed improvements on the whipping post
which cupidity invented when sentimental
humanity interdicted the use of the lash.
When thieves and house-breakers and
drunken loafers and Migrants have multi
piled in cities on the Mississippi, the local
authorities have hired the desperate mob
that drifts with changeful seasons up and
down the great river to planters on the
islands. The lash Is freely used and vaga-
bonds are made to pay the cost of their own
reformation and maintenance. The scheme
of justice and beneicence works well. Es-
cape from boat-guarded islands is quite i'm
possible, and it is only unfortunate, unless
great changes supervene, that each county
of Texas will be compelled, when the GRIM
inal code is reformed, to have house of
industry or penitentiary of Its own-but
that the lash will be profitably dispensed
with we must be permitted to doubt.

THE Bolton Journal doesn't see how a
paper can be Democratic which persistently
attacks the leading Democrats of the State.
We vainly imagined that there was no king
in this country, that of public men in pub
lie position each of us could speak freely,
and if we happen to differ from the rest as
to the fitness of men for places they occupy,
would it not be base cowardice not to say
so9 Such Democrats as the Journal would
have us become would disgrace the age and
country and party.

IF the fathers Of Texas, when endowing
schools with broad domains, had supposed
that their sons would be such stupendous
asses that they would exchange these lands
for greenbacks, or even for gold, in order
to meet temporary exigency, the old fell
lows would even now turn over in their
graves. The worst enemy of Texas, and
most short-sighted, is he who would cause
an ever-enduring calamity in order to Sc
cure present financial blessing. One gen.

order that this one may be blest.

The Georgetown Democrat thinks there
is merit in the proposition that makes the
payment Of poll tax condition precedent
to the right to vote. There Is not only
merit, but absolute necessity, for this re-
striction. Too much voting by the un-
