TlnxerIng the Bell OF Liberty.

The Philadelphia Record, reviewing
tae past Revolutionary history of the
Bell of Independence at Philadelphia,
says; "Since the bell was cracked il has
several times been tinkercd al, in the eff
fort TO make il sonorous once moro. At
one time tho seam was filled, we think,
with silver,or nm amalgam OF silver but
the sound would not come back. They
then undertook TO ream out the crack.
causing il TO present a ess'sharp and rag
gcd edge, ON the singular theory perhaps
that it could be made TO ring hike the lit
tie giobuar sleigh bells that tinkle,
though they have an opening to let the
sound ont. But the result was very nat.
urally, by no means successful, it being
clear enough beforehand one would say,
that the vibrations in the metal, when
struck, would conflict at the crack and
spoil the hopei-fo arrangement. The
findings of metal that were bored ont In
this process were made over into little
bells as Revolutionary relics, Henry
Clay, we believe, receiving the first of
these much prlsed mementoes. Some
people have also been guilty, as the bell
shows, clipping spliniering fragments
from the rim as relics. We have not
much faith that the bell will be restored
TO ITS old resonance, but we should be
very glad 10 hear that there was pros-
peci OF doing so by new process"

THE GRE1T-aWHAT Is 1Tq,,

The civil rights bill that has gone from
the House to the Senate admits negroes to
all privileges of inns, taverns, hotels, rail-
ways, steamers, theatres and shows.
Schools and churches and graveyards are
not named in the benefcent bill. If ne
gro's. rights, under the law, be infracted,
a fine of $500 goes as plaster on Guffee's
wounded vanity, and is expected to heal
the rent in the ragged edge of pride Of
race, and $500 go to official thieves of one
sort and another, and imprisonmentfor from
thirty to three hundred and sixty-fi days
or, the wronged Ethiopian may elect to sue
only for damages, and for the penalty as
above Federal district attorneys are es-
pecially commanded to institate proceed
ings in behalf Of negroes, and Federal courts
have exclusive Jurisdiction. Negroes are
made proper jurors in Federal courts, and
the Supreme Court is Invested with power
to review these cases without reference to
amounts involved. One effect of this law,
which viii surely be enacted, since it ispart
of the programme of party that over
throws States to set up platform on their
ruins one effect viii be to expel half a
million white people from older Southern
States into Texas We need only open the

A HALF dozen wicked boys at kaufman,
when lively, rollicking lawyer, Of great
ability by the way, was bumming around
the village at night, filled the pillows on
his bed with brickbats and his bedtick with
stove wood and beer bottles. When the
lawyer came in late at night and went up
stairs, he aroused the good, fat landlady,
secured alight and went UP stairs, ''shucked
himself fast''-the boys said-and rolled
over into bed. 1t was exceedingly uncom-
Portable, and the lawyer, hRrd-headed as he
is known to be, cursed somewhat. At last
be began to pull out the bottles and things
from beneath him and sling them around
in very lawless, vehement manner for a
sober, discreet lawyer. The noise made
was fearful Every guest in the house was
aroused, while bottles smashed windows
and their fragments ratified over the floor.
The good hostess came tripping upstairs in
very ghostly apparel. She timidly put her
head through the partially open doorway
and bottle burst in thousand fragments
Just above her head. She shrieked and ran.
The man was surely mad. BE had hydro
phobia, and, therefore, his animOslty to
bottles and glass windows. q Ne town con-
stable and the scullion and cook, and three
weary land hunters, guests of the house,
were soon gathered. The Dallas man was
assured that tho boys who had stuffed his
pillows had fed, and peace was restored.
There is an unusual demand for window
glass. in Kaufman, and that lawyer is
knobby and knottY. The Kaufman land
lord says Dallas lawyers must hereafter
sleep in the court house. ...-'s- -'f

STATRSMANsHIP.


Mr.. Simpsons arguments on the bill to
compromise with the International Railroad
Company are unanswerable. Every position
taken was backed by the most complete
authority. and such authority, too, as no
legal mind can gainsay. His speech was
convincing as to the constitutionality of the
charter granted to the company, and re-
duces the question before the Legislature
to one as to the propriety of paying three
millions as compromise, or six millions
upon an adjudication before the highest
courts of the country. Mr.. Simpson has
met the questions fairly, without appealing
to prejudice. He has treated them as q
bold and fearless statesman, not skimming
upon the surface to catch popular favor,
but going to the very depths of reason to
prove that his positions are correct. This
gentleman lives in the far East, away from
any interested pressure on the part Of q
constituency in favor of the International
Railway. Were he in the West, he could
look forward, in consequence of his mas
terly position, to distinguished preferences;
and though he does not live there, his pure
craftsmanship will be as fully appreciated
by the people of his own section, whom it
will ever delight to do him honor.

GRANTS message onArkansas affairs, and
the violent, revolutionary, simultaneous
processes to which the Congress Tesorted to
enact the civil rights bill show concIu-
sively that definite plot has been ma
tured--the President and Radical Congress
.co-operating-to "precipitate another
y" revolution 1t will require all the wis
dom and patience and courage of the
South to thwart the purposes of men to
whose existence Office aud power are as
essential as air and food. Let the North
aud not the South give origin and become
the scene of the next conflict. The over
throw of statehood here is its overthrow in
New York If New York can endure des-
potism, we, who have tasted its sweets,
should commend it to New York and bear
1T patiently. The yoke that may rest upon
Arkansas and Texas will rest, sooner or
later, with intolerable weight upon the rich
and powerful North. There are two ends
toIt. 1t cannot be divided. Let US be pa
tient. There is no other way to sure and
final and speedy redemption.

TUE RLAcKEsT CRIME.

The defeat of the international Railway
bill assures the sale of the road and its
purchase by the Central. The trackWay
this side Of Hearne win be taken up; the
State win be finally compelled to pay the
six millions and interest; Western Teas
is left without railway; Texas becomes q
miserable province, kicked and cuffed
about by great corporation, more power
iul, because having more money and more
employees than the State; Western Texas
first secedes from the Democratic party and
then begins the endless war for the snbdi-
vision Of the State. The State becomes
the slave Of 3 mighty railway ring now
felt in every financial measure that comes
before the Senate or House, and Texas,
stained with the suspicion Of shameless bad
faith, expels from her borders every foreign
capitalist and corporation. The greatest
crime ever committed By lawgivers is that
contemplated BY those who would defeat
tue pending International subsidy bill.

JoHN You've BRowN is very eloquent,
very excitable, and delights in sensational
ism. Whether very wise is a very different
question. Every attack upon Ben Butler
by Southern men gives Butler Eastern
strength, and it is strange that people don't
see how Butler courts Southern abuse and
contumely. Browns stage thunder was de-
ightful music to Buffers stupendous ears,
since its echoes come back, the sweetest
melody, from the Essex district. Let
Northern statesmen denounce the Beast,
and tits well enough. BE covers before
the sarcasm and infinite wit of Sunset Cox,
but glories in savage assaults likethat made
by Brown. Northern States and people
may save Arkansas and Texas from extinc-
tion as States; but Texan anathemas avail
nothing to prevent, and only promote the
result, silencing those disposed and able
to serve the South. s2a

HOW no SAVE TEXAS RROM THE
q 81 8 FATE OF ARKANSAS. r,stIs,


The road to freedom for Texas is shaped
by. railways, that induce. immigration, i'm
port wealth, iand hasten the advent Of
numbers, expelled by negro domination
from States beyond the Mississippi. If
Texan lawgivers be wise, and perfect our
railway system, the State becomes, what
ever the follies and crimes of Grant, too
potent to be finally subdued and ensIayed.
We need only be patient and honest. Deal
honestly with men from abroad investing
here their wealth, and Texas gains strength,
even IN the East and in Europe. Texan
power springs up with strong fbers of
muscle and steel around every dollar buried
by Barings, Rothschild or Astor, beneath
the international Railway. Texas, too, wins
the sympsthies of every European and
American capitalist having money invested
in railways, in other States, connecting
with the international. If we deal justly
with this corporation, all these Eastern cap
italists become the friends of this subsist-
ing Texan government; strike down the
international road, and Barring Bros, hav-
ing seven millions in Aliens Texsrksna and
st. Louis road, would exert themselves to
have Governor Coke's administration over
thrown By Grant, even as Grant intends to
thrust Garland, or the point of bayonet,
out of Arkansas. Honesty, just now,
happens to be the best policy for Texas, and
dishonesty becomes SO plainly ruinous that
there are none endued with liberal intelli
gence who would dare to practice it.

A BILL before the Senate provides for q
road from Denison to Gainesville, Fort
Worth, Meridian, Bolton and Austin, with
a branch from Gainesville northwest to the
Atlantic and Pacific road, and for another
branch from Meridian to Eagle Pass, on the
Rio Grande. This bill will certainly pass
without modification. 1t is enacted in be-
half of subsisting and powerful corpora
tion having, as VIC are advised, great
wealth. tits this that Texas needs as much
as the railway itself. The Denton Monitor

bury, and neither town nor Christians came
to his assistance. One came, an outcast
from society and church, and, like Ger
tain Samaritan who was also ostracised in
that day by the 'VneO gude," this woman,
pitying the parents grief and poverty,
made, at her own cost, every preparation
for the funeral, supplying the coffin and
carriages. A lady O. present refcsed to
ride if this outcast were permitted to enter
one of the carriages, and meekly the out
cast descended from the vehicle she had
paid for and, on foot and alone, walked to
the little grave for which her money had
paid ! Verify, the Pharisees are stll in
