HARDLY had the returns for the
elections OF 1875 been received,when
the bali for 1876 was opened. All the
year round the political panorama is
on the move. New Hampshire will
hold her State election in March.
and the Temperance party of that
State has thus early put ticket in
the field. In the classic language
of fastidious Boston, "Give US a
rest" The "muckers," as the late
Mr.. Hessing would say, must be
content to 'play lone hand' for
some time to come. The regular
party nominations in the Granite
State will be made this year.

MARRIED IN TIE SNOW.

house in the dead of the night, when
the snow lay on the ground and the
winter wind howled an anthem for
the wedding march. TREY succeed

been snugly tucked in his warm bed
for several hours. The good man
reluctantly raised the window and
asked ''who was there z" With chat

the piety Of the parson prevented his
altering a few impatient growls at
this unreasonable interruption Of his
dreams. He did not tarry to put OF
the wedding or any other garment,
but in laundering tones ordered the
shiyering couple TO stand well off in
the light and clasp hands. Then he
demanded their names. "John VIII.

they soon disappeared, wondering at
the strangeness of the situation, and
doubtful if they were as much mar

Aa::her Sea Ec..ar.

The bark Toronto was wrecked
near Nevassa. with fourteen men on
board. The following is the story OF
The only survivor:
Soon after leaving Nevassa, a
furious storm arose, and they buoyed
to anchor. At about II o'clock at
ljght the foremost broke off quite
close to the deck. The Captain wa.
then called and ordered a boat to be
lowered The sea was running high
at the time, and the storm ragged
turiously. One Of the boats was put
out, and the Captain and crew all
cot into it. 1t was, however. inme-
diately filed with water, and seven
OF the men were washed into the sea.
and the violence OF the waves soon
carried the boat out OF the sight OF
them. There were then seven men
on the boat, but no provisions.
MaXimo could give no intelligent
account Of how they Jared in the
boat; but, as far as could be ascer-
tanned, they drtted for days without
TODD and without water The boat,
which is on the Centaur, shows where
1t has been scratched by the men, as
one Of the s&ilors on board suggested.
Tor the purposes Of eating the dirt
jhat clung to the sides. The suffer
lngs of the men must have been in
tense. Maxine describes the men as
walking about, looking out at the sea
and sky. Some driven to desperation
blythe sutterings they endured jumped
lAlo the sea. Some lay ont heir
backs, with their longing faces turned
% heaven, and 50 died. One bv one
they threw themselves into the sea,

From this mans account, 1t is clear
NAT the men lost their reason. He
ate seaweed to sustain life. He
caught a seabird occasionally. and
'omc.imes a fish, bat here his reason

COTTON MILLS.


The Scientific American says one ought
to be worked up at the South for the fol-
lowing reasons:
1. Labor is cheaper at the South than at
the North.
Q. In consequence of milder climate the
necessary expense of living is less there than
in New England, and is also that of heat
ing factory buildings, etc.
3. Coal is abundant in the South, and
cheap water privileges can be obtained in
every direction. s
4. The purchase of the raw material di-
rect from the producer saves the profits of
numerous middlemen, the cost of several
buildings, and long transportation.
To these advantages the writer says still
another of great Importance can be added.
The Southern factory should buy cotton in
the seed, gin, and then spin it without
packing bales. 7
Some OF the advantages OF such system
would be: ~, e,.f fgsdtta saiaol ol
1. The yarn would be strongerAo Baled
cotton cannot be prepared for earding with
out beating, and thus weakening the fibre,
to a greater or less extent. ,.,-. ~.
2. There would be less waste. Frequently
much cotton is 'diseolored and otherwise
| injured by eignsubstaReesthath have been
packed with it. At the North and in Eu-
rope it takes from 10S to lis pounds OF
cotton to make 100 pounds Of yarn; and
although the waste is not so great at the
South, it is nevertheless considerable.
3. The cotton seed would be pressed at
the same establishment, and the oil and oil
cake sold. ''@'' 49,
4. The interest on gins and. gin-houses,
which now are idle the greater part of the
year would be saved to planters. 4. OF
5> The raising of cotton on small farms
would be encouraged. The plantation sys-
TEN is not adapted to free labor, and it is
steadily breakingu up; but until cotton can
be readily sold in the seed, few small farms
will be opened in the cotton section, for
the reason that a man cannot afford to buy
and operate gin if he only plants a few
acres of cotton. Better cotton, and more
per acre, will be obtained on small farms
than on large Ones r-.3 .a

TENNEssEEANs in Texas would most
gladly see Isham G. Harris in the Federal
Senate. He is universally well known, and
as universally honored. He did not love
Andrew johnson, and johnson didn't love
Isham G. Harris; but neither was the worse
for this fact, and there are those as good
and true rs either johnson or Harris who
admired and were devoted personally 10
both men. Let Governor Harris occupy
the seat now vacated, and the statehood VI
Tennessee will be honored in the genius
and force, and again IN the incorruptible
integrity, and even in the hard-headedness
Of the earnest and intellectual ex-governor.
The editor OF the Sherman Daily Register Is
an eLeUe of the law school at Lebanon, Ten
nessee, and would have the learned and
venerable Robert L. Caruthsrs, who has
shaped the destinies Of that institution, ap-
pointed Senator until the Legislature select
Gen. Bate to succeed Andrew Johnson.
We propose the name Of IshAm @. Harris
for this place, as that Of representative
man of Tennessee and Of the South and Of
our time. Confessing Caruthers's great
ness, We must also confess that he lives in a
bygone age.

JUDGE REAGAN AND PUBLIC
SCHOOLS,

If there were only ten farmers in each
county, living ten miles apart, we would
see at once the impossibiIity of maintaining
any system of public schools in Texas To
succeed, under such circumstances, we must
needs have harrow gauge road passing
each cabin, and all converging at the school
houses. But we have no such roads. and
cannot build them, and Judge Reagan is
right when he pronounces the maintenance
of public school system, in sparsely pop
ulated districts, wholly impossible. More
over there is IA deal of justice in the asser-
tion that no man should be forced to toll to
educate anotter's children. He is not only
wrongfully robbed, but the strongest incen-
tive to honest industry is removed from the
path of him whose children become the
benefciaries of this public charity The
products of such institutions are wanting In
personal independence and are fit subjects of
a dispotism and not of a republic. Bismarck
understands this scheme of benefcence
thoroughly, and expounds 1t justly, when
the government first and the country's reh-
gion second, and the house hold, if it may
continue to exist, last in the affection of q
citizen of the empire. We would place the
family first, the country second, and, above
all, and first in the hearts and thoughts of
the people, the supreme majesty of the
Ruler of the Universe. Professional peda-
gogues naturally go mad about this mat
ter of forced education at the cost of
somebody else. They. gather statistics
with wonderful facility, showing that
in order to make people proper citizens the
youths of the country must be converted
in shysters and pill pedlers.
There are certainly two sides to the ques-
ton and our government was purest and
best, there was less knavery and more
plain, simple honesty when the public
school system had not given us q system in
the, conduct of which there is said tc be
more money stolen by placemen than ever
reaches the Federal treasury and that it
costs two to collect and pay into the treas
ury single dollar. In any event there are
two sides to this question as applied to
Texas in its present condition, and we need
only move slowly and if patriots would
have the future of Texas perfectly blest
they need only guard, for future use,
the. enormous wealth in lands of the
public schools and university of Texas.
Let this be honestly preserved and leased,
but never sold, and then each citizen will
be educated, not by taxation, but by re-
source which wise craftsmanship pro-
vided, and which criminal impatience and
folly would squander. When we have suf-
icient density of population to make the
existence of schools possible the school
lands will furnish revenues enough for their
maintenance, and there will be no necessity
for the taxation of one citizen to pay for
the education of another's children.

CONDITION OF RURoPE.

The influence Of Austria and Russia In
the disaffected provinces Of Turkey is
watched with jealousy by other European
powers. When Russia may intervene ac-
lively cannot be foreseen and what course
Western Europe would adopt and what
might be the relations between Prussia and
Russia in case an European struggle were
inaugurated cannot be foreseen. There
fore these remote eastern troubles involve
all Europe, and, of course, must affect
the fortunes of this country. 1t is not long
since the massacre of certain Montenegrin
Christians was the topic of exciting dis
patches from Court to Court; and now the
Hefzegovinian insurrection, which is in so
far similar as it is a revolt Of semi-inde-
pendent Christians against Mohammedan
power, is exciting an amount Of attention
which, apart from the hazardous and deli
cate position of Turkey before Europe,
would be quite disproportionate to the
event. Servia, and no doubt the other
Danubian principalities, are in that state Of
agitation which troubles like this arc sure
to excite. Just now, fears Of the interven-
tion of Austria in the difficulty are rife;
European statesmen would regard such an
Intervention with grave distrust. The con-
dition OF the eastern question" Is such
that very small spark applied to it might
kindle a great war; and tins is why small
insurrection in q remote corner of the Sui
tan's dominion arouIes at once the universal
interest and apprehension of the European
Courts

nE DOESN'T LIKE cox, WHICH rs
QUEER.

The Jersey City Herald says that Ben
Butler doesn't like Congressman 5. s, Cox.
OF course not. He has suffered too mach
at his hands on the floor of the House In
AL Buffers speeches shall We cIil them
speeches or tiradesO Mr.. Cox ended tue de-
bate 10y catching Butler under the left nib
with sharp poniard of Wit and ridicule,
making Ben the butt of his own miserable
fulminations and invectives. This VAS gall
to Butler, and when lie would reply m a
black guard way, Cox took no notice of him,
which incensed him more aud more.
Now, what do We seea There rs a Bohe-
milan print, called the Aycddian., publish, d
In New York by gentleman named George
II. Butler, a nephew of the Falstaffi IN Ben.
George writes in the style of a mad French
man, and S ems to cover the universe with
his personality. Ben's name stasds out con
spicuously as one of the numerous literary
persons who are regular contributors To the

Shades of BlueskinD at the head of its
leading column for the next Speakership of
the House of Representatives,. Right under
this is leading article of incoherent ver-
biage and the most villainous hodge -podge.
The editor, perhaps ashamed of the article,
says it was written by an Ex-Governor of a
Southern State-a rascally, illiterate carpet
bagger maybe. But il reads tous as an etfu-
sion of Ben's-one of his distinguished
contributions, We surmise. The article be-
rates Cox for possessing too much wit, and
decries Randall and Kerr as poor men, and
consequently unfit for the Speakership, as
they could not afford TO give good dinners
The entire article is an amusing tumble.
What it apparently makes its strongest
point against Mr.. Cox is that he is too

AUSTIN COLLkGE-WH TO BE
LOCATED.

I On the twenty fifth of this month the
Trustees of Austin College meet here in
Austin to fix finally the location of the in
stitution. Their action concerns deeply
the future fortunes of this city. The exist
ence here of one college must necessarily
lead to the creation of others in the same
vicinity and the cooperation and concur
renee of these will result in the establish
ment of great university by which teach
ers and scientists may be trained and mag
nificent libraries collected and laboratories
and astronomical observatories established
aud maintained. These are tasks which
cannot be achieved by any single Christian
denomination, and no college can supply
the want of an institution which may at
tract and maintain the foremost scholars
and lecturers Of Europe and America. From
these colleges and from this university, for
which there Is no other proper location in
Texas, there will go out the educators of the
youths of Texas and from this institution
will arise the leading thinkers and scholars
and statesmen of the country. But we
only proposed to inquire whether intelli-
gent citizens be incapable of appearing be
fore the excellent body Of Christian gentle
men who meet here on the twenty fifth in
slant, and of pointing out the propriety of
selecting Austin as the site Of Austin Col
legei Will not the city's chief magis-
traie entertain these literary magnates for a
day and, taking them to the summit of
Mount BonneIl, even as il is wntten in the
fourth chapter OF Matthew, viii he not
point out the matchiess beauties of the
country, of the brilliant river glittering in
| glowing sunlighL of the boundIess plains
aud clear, lpure air that toys ike maidens
among the messy locks of grand old live
oaks. VIII he not propose to surrender the
use of all these to the good men who would
found here their denominationaI college !
And win he not declare, with splendid eIO-
quence, the plain truth that there is hot
elsewhere in the world a city as beautiful
or locality so attractive. and that we only
need men worthy of il and. capable Of com
pEehending and thus Of deselcpingits posi-
bilities Would ii not be wen for citizens
OF Austin interested in facts and results
here contemplated to have some consalta-
ton In behalf Of this matter
