A CONSTITUTIONAL Convention is
in session in Texas; the democrats
have control of it; and thus far the
body has defeated every effort made
toward establishing system of free
schools! Ignorance by the masses
is bliss to a democratic leader.

"H. V. R." of the Cincinnati
Commercial is writing up Mississippi
affairs, and in late letter says:
"The sacrifice of life in this cam
paign is appalling. In the past six
ty days not less than one hundred
men have been killed in political
quarrels or quarrels growing out of
politics and the relation of the ra-
ces."
The colored vote of Mississippi
exceeds the white vote by some 25,-
600. This colored vote is mostly Re
publican, and this sacrifice of life"
is the democratic method of election
eering. By this process of "killing"
the colored vote is to be so intimida-
ted that it will not dare to attend the
election, and thus the democrats ex-
pect to carry the State. 1t would be
much more to the credit of the demo-
cratic party, and to humanity, for the
leaders to come squarely ont against
colored men voting at all, than to at
tempt to keep them from the per-
formance of that privilege by the
killing process.

The Prohibitionists Of Ohio, not
having polled in 1875 the number OF
votes they did in the two previous
years, the Cincinnati Enquirer saw
agely remarks:
"Those Prohibitionists haven't the
amount Of principle which they have
advertised"
That comes with bad grace from
a sheet which two years ago supper
ted 3 specie-payment, hard-money
platform, and this year its antipode,
greenback imitation. That "amount
of principle" is one of the sins of the
Enquirer editorial corps, and this
sort of talk would bring blush of
shame to any ones cheek not hard
ened by demagoguery.

bow ONE NAN DEFIED A MOB.

Some newspaper has lately unearthed
a story of mob law in Henry county,
Kentucky, in 1859, story which will
bear condensation and which should go
down to posterity, describing an ex.
ample to be initiated and a scene to be
immortalized. In 1859 there resided
in the county named, several brothers
bearing the name of Henry, one of
whom was charged with murder. He
was acquitted upon trial but the mob
was dissatisfied with the verdict and
demanded that not only the man
charged with the crime but all his
brothers should leave the country. One
Of the brothers thus unjustly banned
was slow to leave and in consequence
was assailed, being shot at and narrow
ly escaping with his life. His wife and
children were afterwards taken to him
by young man named Hunly. Then
the mob demanded that Hunly should
leave the region. Huniy went to his
house and told his aged parents Of the
situation. They decided not to obey
the mob and barricaded the house.
On the next day the mob came, twenty
masked men and numbers of respectable
citizens who dared not resist. The
mob rode up to the house and de-
manded the body of young Hunly.
The old mother appeared at the
window and replied that her son had
committed no offence; he had simply
aided an innocent woman and her
children; he would not be driven out
of the country like criminal she and
her husband were prepared to die with
him. Then she bowed and retired.
The mob crowded forward, but there
was man among the spectators to be
heard. AS the old mother ceased talk
ing he camo forward with tears on his
face, and said: "Of all fortunes in life
there is nothing like its fortunate end
ing. A man should be esteemed for
tlnate who finds an answer to the old
Methodist prayer, Iord give US a good
time to get out Of the world [ may
live hundred years without finding
another opportunity to SO happily end
my life. l am blessed! My prayer is
answered! I will die with these peo-
ple!' Then drawing his pistol, the
man This name was Pollard) placed his
back to the door and his face to the
mob. The effect was grand. Hesita~
ting citizens, lacking but the nerve to
oppose rufianisu, rushed to Pollard s
support. The mob fled for their lives
before the desperate resolve of the men
before them and Hunly and his family
were saved.
Pollard's name is still synonym for
brave manhood in Henry county, and
his glorious example has done not a
little good. Could a grander speech
be conceived than this brief one of six
clean sentences e? And is not the story
one to become immortal

Cellars need thorough renovation
No half>work will do, if you would
avoid disease. Drains and priyies, and
the entire premises, in fact, must res
ceive attention. 1t is now well known
that typhoid fever never occurs in clean
places, where perfect drainage and
pure water are afforded. It can always
be traced to sewer gas, tainted wells,
foul cellars and yards, or some unclean
mess.
