The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-10-14

THE scholastic population of Texls is
$50, 900. A poll tax of two dollars as a
condition precedent to the right of suffrage
would have gathered for these little follows
more than half million dollars next year,
when everybody will vote. But the Holy
Alliance recks nothing either for the chill
dren of Texas or for the wise and honest
government of counties or towns. 1t is a
fearful body in some of its aspects.

Mitchell. eighty years old, was hanged at
Granbury. He died game, and could well
afford 1t his time of life. Gov. Coke re-
fused to commute the old fellows sentence,
and properly. There is no use hanging
men 10 rid society of evils if such as Mitch

incurabie. lie was leader in a CHASTITY
vendetta in which two devils named Truett
and jeff Mitchell, a prisoner, were killed
and two bloody knaves named Show and a
worse, Owens, are penitentiaried for life,
and Bill Mitchell and one Groves are still
fugitives from Justice. OF these brutes this
old fellow was the bright exemplar. The

he hated--the jailor of Napoleon on st.
Helena, the registration law, and the infa-
nous police bill under Gov. Davis. And
now, when we had got rid of the registra
ton act, should we pass = law similar IN
effect forcing every man to carry his pass
in his hand The people would curse them
from one end of the land to the other. Let
she question of suffrage be free to all alike,
and let them march in solid phalanx, under
the broad aegis of American liberty, and
deposit his vote. He showed that the
workings of the system would produce
fraud.
MIR. johnson of Collin said the whole
gist of the matter was 10 Cypress the
poor. Their long winded speeches neither
bluffed or intimidated anyone; they might
speak all day, and the vote would be the
same.
Mr.. Crawford was in favor of the tax; he
loved the poor industrious men OF his sec
ton, among whom lie had been reared. As
u poor man himself, his every sympathy was
with til m; aud he knew there were none
more ready to pay the just taxes OF gov
eminent than they. The poor people 81
Texas always paid their taxes with u gen.
erous hand, and asked that no more he
levied than was necessary to carry on good
gov, lment. Ought n man to make his
impress upon his country's destiny, and
not pay u cent of taxes 1t will be a proud
day ia Texas when there will be no hered-
itary pauperism. The man who owned
the least bit of land, the poor vii
ow with her little property = were
all forced to pay taxes; and should
not all Others pay at lost poll tax
Who is there that would wiring taxes from
poor widow to support government, who
had no voice in the making of. the laws of
on meDy The poor do not object TO paying
this tax, but ask that it be levied SO that
they may be protected from the floating and
irresponsible, who are here to-day and there
tomorrow; who have no home, wife OF
children to love, and are a burden and dis
grace to the body polite.

Dufaure, Minister of Justice for the
French republic, has published his nice
new law for the extinction of journalism
in that country. This press law might
crafty Zach Chandler, but it is evidently
not exactly the thing for free republic.
A newspaper editor who attacks the form
or princible of q republican government,
or the authority and acts of the president,
will be imprisoned three years and fined
5000 francs. Anybody who petitions for
q modification Of the constitutional laws
will be imprisoned. Another clause gives
the ministry power to prohibit the sale of
o periodical in the streets. Other equal
" oppressive clauses are Incorporated in
the law, rendering the press entirely USE
less as an expression Of views, political
or otherwise. Such law is enough to
make Chandler and some other Ameri-
can philosophers deliberately naturalize
as French citizens.

The Two VILLAGES,

The Two Villages.
Over the river, on the hill,
Lieth village white and still,
And all around the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze.
Over it sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses low and sweet,
Grow in the middle Of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still.
There see in cloudy night
Twinkling stars Of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door.
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro. E7
In that village, on the hill,
Never sound of smithy or mill;
The houses are thatohed with grass and
Never o clock to toll the hours.
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter hall or hut,
All the villagers lie asleep,
Never again to SOW or reap,
Never in dreams to moan or sigh,
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village, under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many weary soul in prayer,
Looks to that other village there,
And weeping and signing longs to 60,
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep by the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth, praying, this answer fall,
Patience, that village shall hold ye oil. "

At one arare of Franklin.

A pair Of patriotic Frenchmen on a
tour Of observation and pleasure, we're
present in Philadelphia recently. They
desired to render homage TO the memory
Of Monsieur le Docteur Frankelin, and
this is the way they did it:
They applied to the clerk of a we'll
known hotel for directions to the grave
and he being full of decorative fun, un-
dertook TO guide them. 1t was early in
the morning when the three might have
been ,een vending their way up Willow
street. In a few moments they arrived
at the designated spot and entered the
enclosure. Here, said the clerk, IL
will leave you" and at it the worship.
pers went. Uncovering their heads, they
approached small square brick enclo.
sure, rooted In slate, and about seven by
nine in size. With hat in hand, they
slowly and reverently (such as French
men alone are capable oD walked around
the structure, emphathizing the merits
Of the departed worth they supposed to
be inferred within its walls. Just then
the proprietor Of the premises appeared
with arms in his hands, wanting to know
why the visitors were prowling around
his smoke-house at that time Of the day,
and calling policeman put the worship
pers in charge.
