seen from the following extracts. Mr..

Mr.. KeHey-It is a verv good peg to

The subject of this joculsr interlude was

What has been said of the first project
of this kind now comes to be true, that

Rev. E. 4. Hale at SAN Antonio.

Tne San Antonio Herald notices the ap-
pearance in the sncient city of Texas of
Rev. Mr.. Hale. 1t was announced that he
would give a reading there of his story,
called "In His Nsme," for the benefit of
the Alamo Literary Society. No admission
fee was charged. The benefit was to be
derived from collection to be taken at the
close of the entertainment. Mr.. Hale was
promptly on hand at eight O'Clock, but
there was then present no member of the
literary society to introduce him to the
public. Presently DR.. Fisher appeared and
introduced the reader, and MI. hale read
to an audience of about seventy persons.

One Resule Of the Fre,abt War.


The rupture on the eighteenth of April
last by the New York Central railroad of
the compact of the second of March, by
which the principal railroad lines fixed the
rates of eastward-bOund freight ON q mile
age basis, has resulted most advantaReously
to this city. Before the rupture the num-
ber of bushels of corn received in New
York during the week ending April Is was
1884, while Philadelphia got lss, loo
bushels, and Baltimore 1877 600 bushels.
After the rupture, during the week ending
April %, New York received 220,691
bushels, Philadelphia 4l4.O00 bushels, and
Baltimore 1856, 200 bushels: and during
the week ending April 90 there were
407 400 bushels for New York, 487, 900
bushels for Philadelphia, and AL, 500
bushels for Baltimore. That is 20 say, since
the rupture of the railroad compact the
proportion of corn brought to New York
from the West to the East has steadily in
creased; while before that rupture that pro-
portion was steadily decreasing. The rup-
ture originated in q quarrel between the
New York Central and the Grand Trunk
railroads. The compact, however, was only
temporary one, And although the Erie,
the Pennsy lvania and the Canada Grand
Trunk companies are reported to have held
q meeting whose object was to reconcile the
New York Central and the Grand Trunk
companies, with view to the re-establish-
ment of the compact, it is believed that the
attempt will be unsuccessful.-New York

The Children's Martha Washington Re-
cepti0n.

The Children's Martha WashingtOn Re.
ception.
One of the most successful entertain
ments of the season was that given last
night at Exposition Hail. and to be re-
peated again tonight. 1t was called .
children's Martha Washington tableau and
calico dress ball, and was given for the
benefit of the Protestant Episcopal Home
on jackson street. The tableau was an
illustration of one of Lady Washington's
receptions, showing forty or more ladies
and gentlemen Of the Olden time, person
ated by young masters and misses in
costumes of the revolutionary period.
Following the tableau the stately
minuet was danced by sixteen chill
dren, named as follows: Misses Eva Rare
shide. Mamie Ceyle, Cassie Foley, Lily
Mehle, Mamie Fern, Matte Thorn, Lille
Goodloe, Belle Fairchild; Masters Devezac
Winship, r. E. l.. Rice, Willie Stauffer,
Robert Noble, Joseph Wilson, Fred. Zerega,
Russell Gushing and Sehmes Folwell.
Later in the evening an opportunity was
given for children of a larger growth to
dance. Both halls OF the large Exposition
Building were crowded to overAowing. In
various places were located tables and
flower arbors for the sale of re-
freshanents and cooling drinks. These
tables represented the different Episcopal
societies in the city, and were attended by
beautiful young ladies in ancient dress.
The entertainment was agreeable in all re.
spects. There was no begging, after the
manner Of church fairs, no gambling, grab
bags Or immoral lotteries, where gold
headed canes wore raffled for INDECENT par
sons, or buggies for the benefit of doubtful
aldermen. Only inviting eyss induced
young nen to part with small change, and
al feffeehmente were sold at less than res
taurant prices.

Position OF the Ohio Democracy.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:


One of the best points made by the Hon.
George E. Pugh, in his able and eloquent
reply to the Hon. William L. Yancey, of
Alabama, at the Democratic National Con
vention Of 1860, was that the Democracy
of the North and West had been banished
from local power in order to benefit the
Democracy OF the South. They had borne
the cross of the Southern Democracy.
They supported measures most s1tagOnis.
tic to their home interest in order to gain
the States which were beyond. They took
upon themselves the odium of what. was
unpopular. or the peculiar Southern ideas
in regard to African slavery. 1t was the
stumbling block. in the way of our success.
governing eectiOn of the Union. The
patience of the North was worn out, and
the sequal proved how, unfortuna te it was
for the South. That was q lesson which
ought to last slifetime. 1t is never wise to
jeopardize home popularity in order to Sc
cure some imagined strength in other States.
Expediency demands, in the first instance,
to be strong at homo before You look else.
where. Upon this talk there is going to bo
split by 9 portion Of the Democracy of the
West. They admit that specie resumption.
national banks end gold and silver are not
popular with their constituents, but in the
East it is to be . taking idea. They, as
Western Democrats, are to immediate them
selves beneath the Eastern car Of Jugger-
naut. They are to bid adieu to any idea
Of local popularity. They are to build up
general strength which is in, the East and
not in the West. Their idea is, let Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois 60 if We can contri-
butte to. the success OF the party in New
York, New Jersey and Connections. We
will champion the odious here if it is pop
ular there. To all this we enter our pro-
test. We desire in the first instance to be
strong at home. We were local State
Democracy before we were q national one.
Under no circumstances would We weake n
the former for the benefit for the latter. To
say nothing of principle, We would not
sacrifice the masses of the Democratic local
office aspirants in Ohio to win q national
success by means of New York. We have
. State pride. Ohio is first in. our affeo-
tions. Its interests and the interests Of the
West are paramount. We do not like
those who, in order to promote their own
selfish purposes, would cell out this great
State, with its three millions of people, to
the politicians of New York. There is in us
no burning admiration for the man who,
turning his back upon home support, looks
for it from abroad-wLO virtually saws, re-
pudiated BY those who know me, l will
make it up BY the support of others who
have not had that opportunity. We appeal
to the Democracy Of Ohio to stand by the
candidate of Ohio~by the candidate Who,
if selected, would obtain the largest vote
withtn our borders. Do not be diverted by
any idea Of extranoous strength.

senator Twltchoil's Assassin.

The more there is learned of the out
rageous shooting at Coushatta of Senator
Twitchell and George A King, the more
cowardly it appears. In the same proper
ton does blame attach to the residents of
the locality. In like ratio is suspicion di-
rected to those who, not excusipg the enor-
nifty of the crime, excuse it as being COM
mittsd by Republican upon Republican,
and therefore not to be laid to the charge
of the people of Coushatta or to any shot
gun. bearing Democrat.
The difficulty is to make the unknown
stranger" who was "disguised" show up as
an undisguised we'll known Republican.
One has already been selected. Mr.. E. n.
Bean, who was supposed to have some ami
mostly against Senator Twitchell, is alleged
to have followed him to Coushatta and
tried to kill him. His card in yesterday
morning's REPUBLICAN contains simple
denial, but it is very emphatic. In addition
it would be difficult to reconcile his sup
posed connection with the tragedy with the
facts that he parted with the Senator, on
the most friendly terms, three hours before
the latter left town, that he showed the
dispatches in the papers to several mutual
friends who had not seen them, and that he
was with Colonel Lowell about the hour of
the act.
That disposed of, some other things call
attention. A most minute account is heard
of the assassin's act, the number of times
he shot, the woman who begged him net to
shoot, his holding up his finger to George
King to warn him not to shoot, and then
killing him because che would not be shot
at" Of his firing along the bank to make q
"sure thing" of the number of times he
"pegged at" Twitchell as he hung on the
hoat in the water, of his riding leisurely
ost of town and deliberating whether or

George Stokes, formerly business
manager of the Denver Tribune, who
has been in the Hills since October.
1875, arrived here yesterday from Dead
wood. He brings with him a ton Of
ore from the Florence silver lode, To-
Gated in the Bare Butte district, eight
miles from Deadwood, and owned by
Robert Floormann, formerly Of this
city. The ore from this 10 de, some of
which has been sent out be fore, assays
nearly n dollar per pc .und, or two
thousand dollars per ton. The vein is
four feet wide and the p Az streak two
and one-half feet in widf h.
Mr.. Stokes-who, by the way, is an
old and warm friend Of the writer
leaves for Denver to- morrow morning
with the ore, and will have it reduced
at once. Big results are expected and
if the smelter shows that the ore con.
tains one-half as n ,uch silver as /.
shown by the assays already made, the
lode is a veritable b onanza There art
ten tons of ore now on the dump which
will be shipped i'm, nediately to Denver
We don't know Of any man who II

ticipations may be realized.
