A ScanSalous Trick.

From the Corpus Christi (TeXas) Times
Some one who has within lhe last six
months visited Galveston brought home
with him a quantity of notes printed
something similar to United States bank
notes. May be there was fraud in his
intentions; may be the design was per-
lectly innocent. OF that we have 10
knowledge. But to the point. On his
recent tax collecting tour Sheriff Bey-
non called upon a Mexican property
owner in the vicinity Of Conception for
the payment OF his taxes. The Mexican
inquired the amount, and, alter eonsid-
erab g lumoling in the depths of an old
box, brought to light ii bundle Uf SEEM
ing rags, which he proceeded 10 unr0il
in the most deliberate and placid man.
ner, and with an assurance that made
Toms heart glad, for the amount OF the
mans taxes was considerable. Finally
the long roll OF rags Was undone and, as
events proved, 30 was the MeXican). }.
With the utmost c0mplaoency the untor-
tunate innocent handed TO Beynon $500
bill of the aforesaid Galveston restau-
rant, at the same time requesting the
change. There was no guile in his inten-
tons, lie honestly believing the bill was
worth $500, having sold horses to the in
dividual who played the trick, and re-
celved that in exc lange.
Or course he WAS uudeceived as to the
value of the note, and his grief aud rage
knew no bounds. He has now an abld-
ing and permanent faith in the dispu.

Southern War Claims.

Some people may make light of the Democratic
Democracy get into power. Being so absolutely
indebted to "solid South" for success and main
tenance in Office, they will be obliged to make any
concession, or grant any favor asked for by those
who so unitedly sustained them. centempora-
~, speaking of the matter, justly asserts that the
SOutherH claims not altogether bug boo.
The matter has been treated lightly by Democratic
speakers during the campaign, but nothing can be
more certain than the intention of the party to
press those claims if they should come into power.
Advance sheets of the Congressional Record of last
session give these impressive results of Democratic
action The total sum proposed to be appropria-
ted is 100000 more than our entire national debt
and amounts to S2,503, 622, 1886. The classification
Of these claims is as follows: Rebuilding levees
on the Mississippi river, $5,250,Oo0; rebuilding
bridges in West Virginia, 100000; refund of cot
ton tax, $6S, O72,O0O supplies used or destroyed,
Sl,205, 10000; use and occupation of property,
S1,2O5, 10000; return of proceeds of captured
property, S9,OOO,OO0 refund and remission of di-
S35O,000; disloyal claimants, under the repeal of
section 3,4S0 of the Revised Statutes, 100000
private relief bills $4,770, 500; total $2503 612
1856. The country can afford to laugh at all this
while the claimants are at comfortable distance
from the goal of their desires, but with an admin
istration Democratic and Southern throughout the
laugh would be very apt to be on the other side

TILDEN CANT CARRY New YoRK.-The largest
vote ever polled in the State by Republican was
given Gen. Grant in 1S72-445,000. The lar3 est
vote ever given Democrat was given to Tilden
in 1S74-416,0O0. Here is smsrgin of nearly 90,
600 between the largest Republican and the largest
Democratic vote. But it must be remembered that
in both 1872 and 1874 the Democrats got the Lib
eral Republican vote. In 1873 Mr.. 1'ilden's ad-
ministration succeeded in reducing the Democratic
majority $4,000 votes TheState has always gone

except in 1858 when Tweed, By the aid of Tilden s
circulars, stuffed and counted $4,000 fraudulent
votes. Then it was carried BY less than 10000
majority for Seymour. On full vote The State is
good for from 10000 to $4,000 majority for Hayes.
1t will take Twecd's genius for counting to annul
this majority. Success for the Republicans does
not depend on carrying New York, but it is i'm
possible to elect Tilden without he carries that

MEssRs. LONGSEcKER BRoS.-GeatleReR Il was
very much surprised to see q communication in

Democrat" to the letter of Mr.. Jas C. Clarke pub
lished in the Journal and the Herald of the 18th
inst. resd Mr.. Clarke's letter and could not per-
ceive, by its tone, that he appealed to any class Of
persons to vote for Mr.. Roberts because he is a
Catholic, nor do l believe Mr.. Merryman had such
an object in view when he gave it for publication
on the contrary, believe that Mr.. Clarke and Mr.
Merryman advocate the election of Mr. Roberts
solely on account of his honesty fitness aud Dem
ocrstic principles
Of the various political papers that have read
none have questioned the honesty or capability Of
Mr.. Roberts; therefore it is deplOrable if he will
be opposed on account of his religion in this Gland

Catholic proprietary, whose object was to found 9
colony in which all prosecuted Christians might

Though corruption may have crept into the
Government, have always regarded this Repub-
lie as great and glorious country on account Of
its free institutions, the freedom granted to the
people, ETC., but in order that the Union may be

should be made covertly or otherwise.

may be mistaken about this but 1 do know that

If renting large and commodious building to
the School Board, for a comparatively small sum
of money, makes q Catholic school of it, l would
like to know what is public school. One of the
trustees OF this school is Protestant and it is at

the same as those of other public schools, and no
