4 purchase has Just been completed by the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company Of
the half square 26T, fronting on Maryland ave
nue.. between Thirteen and half and Four
teenth streets, and ii is proposed to establish
there a coal depot, where all the coal brought
over the road TO this city will be unloaded.-
The annoyance of unloading the cars on the
side tracks on Maryland and Virginia avenues
will thus be avoided. 1t will be recollected
that a few wears since the grade of Maryland
avenue in the neighborhood of the Long
Bridge, was raised, and, as a consequence the
buildings on this square were rendered, at
least rs far as appearances are concerned, I'M
desirable residences, and "A number OF suits
were entered for damages, several being now
pending 1t is contemplated to remove the
buildings and erect around the property wall
Surmounted by a handsome railing. ana SIX
tracks will be run into the premises on treStle
work, beneath which will be pockets for the
reception of coal - Washington Star, Jan. %.
A statue of Stonewall jackson, executed by

his right hand The hand rests on the sword
hilt, and the point of the weapon is placed on

A Bill has been introduced into the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature making education compul-
sorry. 1t will be remembered that compulsory
law went into effect in New York on the 1st of
last January Can such statutes be enforced in
this country? That is question yet to be an
swered With all our boosted common school
system the proportion of uneducated children
in most of the States is appalling-slxty-three
thousand in New Nork city, eighty thousand
in Massachusetts,, and at least ninety thousand
in Pennsylvania.
The General Committee of Tammany Hall, at
their meeting on Saturday night, after electlng

also attempts to terrorize the press. They e3-

Arthur OrtOn and His Dunes.

Arthur orion, alias Sir Roger Itch
borne, has two doughty champions in
DIR. Kenealy and Mr.. Guilford Onslow,
and it is distressing to hear that, on q
recent occasion, spirit of rivalry led
to something like enmity between
these admirers of the injured "baro-
net" The London Examiner, in re-
ferring to this disheartening fact, says:
'Phe usual course ut Tichborne dem
onstrations is for the doctor and Mr..
Onslowy to ride aEcut together in u
barouche drawn by gray horses, for the
hire of which the doctor subsequently
refuses to pay. On the present occa-
sion this touching show of unauimity
was wanting. Two entirely distinct
parties started in the morning from
Plymouth for Dartmoor. One was a
body Of members of the Plymouth
branch of the Tichborne Release Fund,
and was escorted by Mr. Guilford Ons-
low. The other was band of adher-
ents to the cause of Magma Charta, and
was conducted by DR.. Kenealy.
Nor is this all; for IN the even
ing each faction held its own
meeting, Mr.. Onslow presiding over
the one and DIR. Kenealy over the 9TH
er, and counter, not to say condemna-
tory resolutions were freely passed up
on each side. DIR. Kenealy's friends
are of the opinion that the man at
present in Dartmoor is Roger Itch
borne, and the nation must look to
Magma Charta and to DR.. Kenealy for
his release Mr. 0nslow's followers,
onithe other hand, appear to regard
Magma Charta as having very little to
do with. the matter, and rather pin
their faith upon the evidence of q
couple of Australian detectives who
knew Arthur Orion in the flesh, and
who are supposed-on condition, of
course, of having their expenses paid
to be ready to swear that Mr.. Castro Is
nothe.f This evidence, Mr.. Onslow
thinks, will raise such a storm through
out the country that the walls of Dart
moor will be unable 10 hold Sir Roger
any longer. Sir Roger himself is, how
ever of u different opinion. His own
view ofthe matter is that hewill never
get out until his full term of imprison.

The MAN for the place.
10 the Editor of the Dallas Herald:


The adoption of the new Constitu-
ton is regarded as perfectly certain.
AS the people vote for its ratification
they will, at the same time and on the
same ticket, vote for their choice for
all State, District, county aud precinct
officers. 1t will be q glorious day for
Texas, Tuesday, January 5th, 1876,
when the people by their own free
will, without the necessity of pass,
or having the clerks look over the
books to see whether or not they have
been "duly registered" shall say who
they want under the new Constitution
to fill the Various offices within their
gift, To all gray-haired men it will
back the remembrance of the
days of their youth and
early manhood, thirty, forty, nifty and
sixty years ago. The spirit of patriot
ism will be revived i'm full many a
heartrendered almost hopeless by our
history since the war.
But, beyond nominating candidates
for State officers, the Democratic State
Convention, to meet in Galveston on
the 9TH day of January, will select from
each Congressional district one, and
from the State at large, two candidates
for Presidential electors-the men who,
In December next, will cast the eight
votes OF Texas for the Democratic cam
didate for President of these reunited
States. tft J,a.I e-f
This District, embracing all of North

one of these electors. Some of the old

II IL not surprising that the Judges
Just elected by the South Carolina car
pet-bag Legislature ar0uses the people
Of the Palmetto state to the verge Of
revolution. Justice Wright, an litter
ate negro from Pennsylvania, is re-
elected to the Supreme bench, where
Chief Justice Moses presides. Moses
was the secession commissioner from
South Carolina to Virginia to force the
Old Dominion into suicide, and when
the fortune Of war was against his re-
bellious friends he crawled into the
camp of the carpet-baggers, and re-
ceived the Chief Jusliccship at his
price. Whipper 3 full-blooded Mich
igan negro, scarcely able to write his
name, is chosen rs Judge for the
Charleston district lie was publicly
denounced by Governor Chamberlain
as reeking with corruption, and now he
is charged with the administration
Of justice in the first city of the State.
Ex-Governor Moses, son of the Chief
Justice, was the enthusiastic rebel who
hoisted the Palmetto llag over Fort
SUMTER and yelled for armed rebellion
until 1t ceased to pay, when he tum-
bled into the arms of the adventures
who had come to spread desolation
and lawlessness among his people. He
was first Speaker Of the House, then
Governor, and then-well, next door
to prison for shameless villainy, and
now he is appointed to mock the very
temple OF justice with his infamy.
Will not somebody renew the sugges-
ton to the Republican leaders that it
is about time to 'nnload ?'
We spoke of this shameful saddling
of negroes and carpetbaggers on the
noble old State, in an issue or two
back. We fear that the suggestion of
the Times about unloading these vaga-
bonds is hopeless one.

Where Shall the Liberals Col

From the New York Commercial ADVERTISER
The Democrats strenuously assert that they
want no allies in the coming struggle for the
Presidency. They lay their defeat in 1872 to
the fact that they were encountered with q
Liberal candidate and train of his disorgan-
lied followers. Therefore they propose to go
into the next fight with a Bourbon banner
flying, keeping step to Bourbon music, led by
Bourbon chieftains, and with the understand
ing that they shall distribute the spoils among
the men of the true faith. Says the Pittsburg
To@: ave, as Democrats, are ready to receive
honest men from all parties into the Demo-
cratic party. Fair men, calling themselves
Liberal Republicans, or by any other name,
are gladly welcome" This is the universal
echo by the Democratic press of the Worlds
language after the Connecticut election. The
party want no allies, of any name, and only
desire recruits who can fully indorse ''Bill'
Eaton, General Gordon and Tammany Hall.
1t would be interesting to hear from the Trib-
'ne, Springfield Republican, Cincinnati Com
meTciGl and other Liberal organs on this cut
direct by their former friends. Can they in
form the public just how much they have
made by their backslidings, and where they
stand now? Of course they are utterly in the
dark as to what they propose to do.

The Louisiana Democrats.


1t might well have been suspected that men
without humanity would be men without honor.
The Inter Ocean believed this, and it therefore
cautioned the Republicans of Louisiana, and
the Republicans of the nation as well, against
entering into any arrangement whereby the
word of White Leaguers would be the only
assurance Of honorable dealing and fair play.
The anxiety of the former, however, and the
credulity of the latter prevailed, and acompro-
mise was patched up in Louisiana which has now
been broken by the Democrats in the most
fragrant and dishOnoTable manner. 1t was
sacredly agreed that the award of the Con
gressional committee should be accepted and
maintained by both parties. That award I'M
seated number Of Republicans and put DEM
ocrats in their places, giving the latter the con-
troll of the lower House. The Republicans
accepted the award and promptly gave way.
The first appearance of q lack of good faith on
the part of the Democrats was the bringing of
suit against Generals Sheridan and de Trobri-
and for damages in expelling certain Demo-
cratic members during the troubles last Janu-
airy. This, though not violation of the letter
OF the agreement, was a violation of good
faith, for the understanding was that all prior
difficulties were TO be overlooked. But now q
grosser act is perpctrated. The Democratic
majority have used the power given them by
Republican committee to unseIt other mem
beers of the House whom the committee de-
cidod were entitled to seats.
The real object of this, no doubt, is to gain
control ofthe Legislature on joint ballot, which
is thus virtually accomplished. We know of
no more utterly dishonOrable proceeding in the
history of politics. Heretofore the word of
public men,, sacredly pledged, has been con-
sidered of some account. But here, with the
Toasted Chivalry of Louisiana, it is looked upon
as only a device to catch unsuspecting be-
levers in their integrity. We have expressed
the opinion heretofore that the only argument
that these people can appreciate is the one of
force. If this action does not prove it, moth
ing is susceptible Of demonstration.

EUROPEAN TRAVEL

Every indication exists that there will
DC no abatement this year in the tide of
European travel from the United States
We are noted as a nation the world over
for our disposition to travel, and it is a Pc
culiar fact that many Americans of ad-
vanced age, whose ample means would en-
able them to settle down to the complete
enjoyment of home comforts, are appa-
rOntly more restless than younger people.
IL Is puzzle, though, to account for the
disposition to wander in foreign lands.
while our own country presents to the
tourist attractions quite unequaled in En-
rope, especially in the matter of scenery.
Some account for it on the ground that If is
really cheaper TO travel abroad than at
home, and that as general thing the fare
is better; while others assign as reason
that the charm is greater-that it is more
fashionable, and on account of older history
more instructive in every respect. The
truth is, that we are asa nation possessed
Of boudless activity and are disposed to
seize upon the present for all the opportu.
mites either for pleasure or business. We
never stop to gather moss, but 60 rolling
ahead everywhere. This very day there
arc more than one thousand American
