WE publish in another column an
article from the Galveston Ne,Os on
the subject of Texas -four. The article
embodies letter from New Orleans to
the st. Louis Trade Journal, asking
the aid of the merchants and capitalists
of the latter city in building Touring
mills In New Orleans to manufacture
the Texas wheat into flour, and to ship
1t to the South American markets, n
trade which has heretofore been en-
joyed almost exclusively by the Rich
mond (Va.) mills. There is much val
liable Information In the letter of Mr..
Mugridge, particularly useful to this,
the wheat growing region, and we
publish 1t for this information. But at
the same time we agree with the Gal
weston NeQs, that it is absurd to send
Texas flour to New Orleans or st. Louis,
either, at all, when it can be turned into
flour at our own Texas mills, and ship
ped direct through our own ports to all
parts Of the world. We have the mills
in Northern Texas to make as good
flour as can be found anywhere; we
have the country that will produce the
wheat. and the population coming
among us now that can raise it in any
quantity required, and as new mills are
needed they will be built. Right here
where the wheat is grown itshould be
made into flour and be prepared for
shipment, and from Dallas we have
choice of routes to the twoports of Gal
weston and New Orleans. We shall
allude to this matter again at another
time.

THE CoWier-Jomndi commenting
on Fridays elections, attributes the
disasters to "the crime Of the ONO
Democrats" which IL says had not
spent its force; itshows "what II wide

BILE blunders or the worst treachery Of
a few marplots." That paper ciries the
French custom of disgraclng defeated

Stand by Your Principles.

A remarkable body of farmers
met at St. Louis, in February, 1874
and, as other bodies often do, issued
a declaration of principles" This
was the first National meeting Of the
Patrons of Husbandry, since they
had become a power in the land
and great anxie;y was manifested by
all parties, in and out of the Order,
to know what Kind Of declaration
the farmers could make. Nobly did
they come up to their work Of plat>
form building, and they proclaimed
to the world declaration Of princi-
Piles that will stand through all time
to come. We must stand by these
principles, and the power oi.the farms

farmers were consigned to ever,ast-
ing vassalagc but they were not
slow 10 learn their onpi essed condi-
tion. The work of organization
commenced, , and has been carried on
with magic rapidity, until it now
numbers nearly two millions of MEM
bers in the United States.
1t was the representatives Of this
membership by State Grauges, that
put forth this admirable declaration
of principles. Every effort was
made to inveigle the National Grange
into support of political parties, but
the leaders remained true to the fun
damental doctrines OF the Order, and
and preserved it from partisaDsbip.
This declaration Of the National
Grange, marked an era in the history
of agriculture in The United States
1t places their Order above the at
mosphere of political tricksters, ans
declares tlrat the object Of the Grange
are the education and elevation o
the farmers as class.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT In his
great speech before the Beecher-Til-
ton jury, Judge Porter, for the des
fence gave utterance to the following
noble and beautiful sentiment
!. Husband and wife, you know,
gentlemen, never grow old to each
other. We see upon one whom we
all honor (pointing to Judge Neilson)
the marks OF maturing years and ad'
vanciug age. / have not the pleas
ure of knowing jhe lady who has
been chosen as the light OF his dwell
ling, but | know that she does moi
SCI him as / see him. She sees hin
in the health and flush Of young man
hood with the glory of youth upor
him, and to tins hour his age is thai
on which he pressed ucpn her finger
the marriage ring, and he, while be
may oe looking upon me whom time
has touched with some OF those
changes which it leaves upon the
faces of us all, lie sees her as sh'
came before the clergyman who sol
emnized their marriage rites, fresl
and beaming, glowing with you'll
and bright as the morning STAR"

"ToTE." The Mobile (Alabama)
Register resents an imputation cast
upon q legitimate Southern word,
saying
The other day Georgia paper said
that Mr.. A. Fl. Stephens could not
have made certain remark, because
he understood the English language
too well to make use of such slang
word as tote We cling to tote as
the Anglo>Saxon nations cling to
Magma Charta. 1t reminds us of our
descent from a liberty-loying people,
and preserves the memory OF justice.
The writ by which peasant aggriev-
ed in o Baron's Court was enabled to
carry (tolzere) his case up to the county
court was known as the writ Of toh,
pronounced commonly tote. This priv.
ilege which the humble farmer had Of
toting his case up from his own land-
lord to less prejudiced court was
dear TO every Englishman. The
people Of the South will not surrender
that word. 1t is as dear to our yco-
men as the common law itself.

prove that tho LIeatsnaht Governor
bas bcen guilty Of ~ act Which
should Cause BIZ impoachme1t ana
expulsion from The high Office which

tbs effect that during last moth be
was paid one thousand two hundred
aud fifty dollars for pard1ning Thos.
Barenline, tho murderer Of Mr2.
Thomas. That the people abrOad
may understand how yiIlainUus was
the act ofspardoning Barrenline, we
will briefly state the facts Of the mur-
der: Some time last year, Barren
tine and bis accomplice went at night
to the residence of Mrs. Thomas, o
widow woman living near Caledonia
in this county. There, in the pres
ence Of her little children who were
piteously begging for her life, they
dragged the shrieking woman from
her house, and as she prayed for
mercy, one of the men held her and
the other, Barrentine, deliberately
fred several shots from his revolver
into her breast. Was there ever a
more sickening murder
On the 2lst day of May, while
Governor Ames was on the Gulf
coast, Lieutenant Governor Davis,
who for a week or more had been
waiting in Jackson for the Govern
oris departure, issued a pardon to
Barrentine. This is a fact not a ru-
NOR, which in itself is sufficient to
damn the Lieutenant Governor.
This was not definitely known until
Sheriff Lewis, of this county, having
in his possession information as to
Barrentines whereabouts 10 another
State, went to Jackson TO obtain q
reqni-ition for Barrentine's arrest.
In regard TO the bribery of the
LieutenanteGovernor, it is almost
to obtain the facts ex-
cept by judicial process but we
have heard CT d mysterious check for
one thousand two hundred and fifty
dollars, which rumor states was the
price paid for the pardon. The
names of some prominent gentlemen
of this city are connected with the
matter, and from them legislative
committee might gain some imports
ant evidence.
Yesterday, June 7, an Index re-
porter looked for Lieut.. Gov.
Davis to hear his statement of the
affair, but was informed that be had
gone to jackson. When he returns,
we hope to give our readers what he
has to say.
