Let Is keep such of the Sunday customs as
are salutary because they are salutary; and
Of this sort are rest, recreation, the social
meeting of relatives and friends, and public
ass mblage for religious instruction. In
this way all classes can have benefit from
the common freedom, each obtaining the
particular solace he requires, undisturbed
By the fact that Others are differently en-
ployed. Those who want ceremonies of
worship can assemble for that purpose in
the churches; those who want religious In
struction, can meet for that purpose; those
who want simply rest, or social enjoy
ment, can stay at home; those who went
quiet recreation abroad can seek it. While
If any one chooses to spend that day in CIV
ing help, physical, mental or spiritual, to
the many who are in need, he will have
made the best use of Sunday-the
best use, whether he shall have spent it
in saving wood for the sick widow, or in
taking poor children out into the country
for recreation, or in explaining the love of
God to one who has been left in doubt and
darkness by the preaching of some theology
of the lachrymose, bilious and dismal sort,
such as from time to time gives spells of
spiritual collie to the godly man of the Tele-
0rdph

A TRUSTED correspondent of the New
York Herald has interviewed" the wit
nesses and principals in the negro conspir-
acy case IN Georgia, and the Herald is COM
PEELED to say that the plot to murder the
people, destroy their homes and appropri-
ate the women of the country did exist and
was agreed to be executed, and yet the
Brooklyn Union and Harper's Weekly and
many papers of that ilk would make it ap-
pear that it is the whites alone and not the
blessed blacks who are culpable. But this
isn't the question. Red and white men
cannot be collocated in peace; can blacks

happened in any particular instance, wheth-
er the negro or white man struck the first
blow. The facts are that famine and want
are abroad in the Gulf States and discon-
tent begets crime and outrage and thefts,
and these are annoying and often suddenly
avenged and causes Of quarrel ever multi
ply, and the two races should be separated.
We confess it in the case of the red and
white races, and it is even more necessary
in this Of the blacks and whites.

A private letter from ex-Gov, Stookdale
to Hon. E. ID. Linn states that "if the
Convention does not realize the hopes Of its
friends it will be great misfortune. / am
sure that if the spirit which governs the
delegation from this district prevails, the
Constitution will be all that could be hoped.
So far as we are concerned, we are not only
ready to adjust fairly its provisions in view
of other interests and notions than our own,
but we are willing to work faithfully and
all the time to make the instrument all 1t
should be. There are, no doubt, greater
expectations upon the par, of some than can
be realized. Many seem to regard human
government as omnipotent, capable of cur
ing all evils. OF course, they will be dis
appointed. But as far as conflicting views
and interests can be harmonized into an ex-
preston Of the general wisdom of the peo-
Pile, l think and hope and pray that our
work may prove successful"

THE STATESMAN has never hesitated 70
condemn any public act of any public body
or individual whenever it disapproved such
conduct. Some months ago, when it was
said that grangers at Sherman were about
to nominate two stupid people for the Con-
vention and that these Sherman grangers
were warning on lawyers as class, the
SuETEzHAs .i's-"unvrd such alleged con-
duct as it deserved, and in this alone, and
with reference to these specific facts alone,
has it disapproved the grangers' conduct.
We state this because the Telegraph has re-
ferred to the paragraph, and a secretary Of
a grange has spoken Of it. He is an honest
gentleman, and in our position would have
done just as the STATESMAN did, or sacri-
feed his selfrespect.

The Belton Journal says ''If the good
people of Galveston will have sense enough
OR what would answer, perhaps, just as
well, can get money enough--to push the
Galveston and Santa Fe road, now graded
thirty-fve miles and ironed six, through
rapidly to this place, they will not only
have one of the best paying roads in the
State, but also a road which will rebound
more to the interest and prosperity of Gal
weston than all others in the State put to-
gether."
This is true enough; but it is even more
important that the ownership of this road
remain with the builders and that il be
built as Gen. Bragg designed, at the least
possible cost per mile. Then it would be
enabled to reduce rates of freight charges
to minimum and to the extent that II
competed with existing lines, would render
services of incalculable value to the whole
population of Texas.

IL anybody wants to know why the free
school system is not popular in Bonham,
they will find an exposition of the mystery
in the statement of the Enterprise, to the
effect that the establishment of negro
school within the corporate limits few
years ago, brought several families of dark
les from farms in the country to town to
educate their children, and now to give
Bonham special privileges on the free school
question would bring the rest of that
population to the town. We don't object
to the cost of educating fair share of the
peripatetic darkies who pay no taxes, but to
have the whole colored population of the
country drawn into the town limits is rather
rough on corporation taxpayers. Then,
too, such mass of negroes may be inducted
into the place that they will gain control of
the offices and ravage and destroy till Bon
ham becomes desolate. This evil may be
provided against by the Convention, which
may restrict suffrage in corporation cleo
tions to taX-payers

THE following is an extract from the
"Secret Circular" SAID by the ''Organ" to
have been written by Judge Alexander.
Its statements are wholly true:
''Thus far one of eur editors at Austin
of the Gazette-who, unfortunately, owing
to the facts that he is New Englander by
birth, that he shared the public printing of
the Thirteenth Legislature with j. p. New
comb, and with him held Lunatic Asylum
commission under Governor Davis, does
not have the weight to which he is justly
entitled, was inpetuous as on the circulars
becoming public to threaten prosecution
in the United States Court! Evidently he
took the common law view, that the great
er the truth the greater the libel, and by
his rashness admitted by implication the
truth of the circular, though thereafter he
obeyed its direction and maintained a Dig
nified and persistent silence. ,.-
''Another, the STATESMAN, almost as in
discreet, though IN the opposite direction,
boldly charged that it was mere jeu Ges
pY-it, or pleasantly, and was written by a
Republican, and by SO doing greatly i'm
paired its credit with those it was intended
to guide"

PAY THIN WE'LL.

The Decatur Guard says sits the voice
of Texas and new deal and clean sweep
as demanded from bottom to top" What's
the use when the same men would be re-
electedg The only evil we fear is that tho
rage for ''reform" will be too violent. We
want capable men to hold the offices of
Texas, and think the honest people willing
to pay fair price for honesty and frstrAte
ability. Sam Houston lost money by serv-
ing the State as Governor, and 50 has Gov.
Coke lost heavily, pecuniarily; but fame
and honor make up deficiencies unless
children be robbed when death comes to
greatness. Subordinate office-holders, how
ever, must have fair and adequate compen-
sation for their tolls. 1t costs more to live
here than on a farm, and surely an honest
gentleman would not profTer premium to
roguery and incompetency by proffering a
mean pittance, instead of decent salary,

THE oosr OF THE CONVENTION.

The spirit of economy and reform that
has aheady, and very properly, manif.s I'd
itself in the Convention indicates that the
expense of forming new constitution viii
not be so great by far as has heen contem-
plated. The saving in the cutting down
of the per diem of members and officers OF
the Convention alone will be about $50,
900, allowing sixty days for the session.
Counting all the clerks, doorkeepers, pages,
ETC., at ten members, and the entire BODY.
therefore, as one hundred, the per diem OF
the Convention amounts to $500 a day,
or $50, 600 for sixty days. The printing,
stationery and incidental expenses will
in all probability not exceed SEQ, 900, and
the mileage much less than $40, 900, max
ing, as sum total for SIXTY days session,
less than 500, 900. Still many enemies of a
Constitutional Convention prated about an
expense being entailea s upon the State, In
consequence of one, aggregating hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The people can
rest satisfied about this expenditure of
money, for great deal more, prospectively,
is to be saved.

GEN. G. W.. M0RGAN rHR SOLDIER

own worth makes his assertions more vain

NORTH AND SOUTH---SOCIAL COM
DITIONS.

The New York Herald says that "the
condition of affairs in the mining regions
of Pennsy lvania is deplorabe. Murder
stalks red-handed through the country, and
men are shot down in broad daylight by
the agents of a powerful secret association
that rules over the lives of all the inhabi-
tants. Such a state of things is disgrace
ful to our civilization, and we are glad to
see that the frequency with which these
crimes are committed is arousing general
spirit of indignation among the law-respect-
ing portion of the CON munity. If the peo
pie will only take the matter earnestly In
hand they can cure the evil"
With this little paragraph the Herald dis
poses of facts which, if they affected any
Of the Gulf States, would give employment
to corps of special correspondents. Grants
intervention would be invoked and MAJ tial
law proclaimed. But those fellows knocked
on the head are only white men, and the
only irreparable calamity that can befall an
individual is to be born white. Lamar and
General Gordon fall IN with the passion of
the hour and would pave the way to uni
versal blackness or an universal haziness.
The Herald closes it's brief but suggestive
article on the desperate condition of affairs
in wide districts of Pennsylvania with this
sentence:
g Besides this trouble among the miners
| gives the speculators a chance to run up the
prices G fuel, and so beaI heavily upon the
poor everywhere"
Plainly enough, if the murder of these
white fellows didn't augment the cost OF
coal, the Herald would never have adverted
to the subject. The very next editorial
paragraph of the Herald is significant of the
fact that however terrible and deplorable
the condition of affairs in Mississippi, soci
ETY. is in no bettsr condition in New, York
The Herald says:
Murder in the slums of the city is be-
coming so frequent that killing must soor
be looked on in the light of slight offense.
1t is certain that the rough element of ouI
population no longer look upon murder as
| anything more than venial sin against pub
lie morality. On the slightest provocation
the knife is brought into requisition, with
the most deadly results. Something must
be done 10y the courts to stop this wholesale,
