Democratic Economy.

Human nature is bad-evep Democratic

something stronger than the mere sense Of

az "rats" and filled some of its offices with
disreputable uegroes and degraded whites
As most glaring instance OF "crooked-

disgrace to civilization, the Louisiana Lot

continue, under cover of law, in tempting

instance in the way of extrayaganee we
may cite the public printing contract given

When Sir James Anderson, of the Great

him promise to cay his prayers on ship

dule he might meet with. One sailor boxed

as q hypocrite, whereon another, one of
pioned the boy, invited the bully on deck
and gave him q tremendous thrashing,
adding = grim warning that he wonld
serve any one else in the same way who
presumed to prevent the boy from saying
hia prayers. Next night the gentle hearted
boy, to avoid strife, undertook to say his
prayers in his hammock, Wbereon his pro-
tector lugged him out by the back of the
neck and gave him plainly to understand
that he was not to shirk his duty that
when his champion did the fighting his
protege would have to do the praying, and
he kept him duly TO his task.

REV, FATRER PHKLAH.-Tbis rev. gentle
man, now on Q visit to our city, has hitherto
been principally known TO this community
through the spirited and interesting editorial
columus of the St. Louis RateARaS, over
which he presides. Last Sunday, however, an
eloquent sermon, which he preached at the
church of st. John the Baptist, introduced him
to our public in q different capacity and one
which he filed as competently as he hAbituslly
does that of the journalist. To-day, Father
Pheian will agsin preaoh-this time ut St.

nifty, nor entirely merge his editorial relations

Governor williams, of Indiana, is in receipt
of q letter from r. B. Hubbard, Governor Of
Texas, which is better explained by pubiica-
tion in foil.
''Ausr1N. TEXAS, Oct. 18th, 1s77.-His ES.
oelleney james ID. Eilliams Governor of Indiana.
Dear Sir: In behalf OF the Surviving mem.
bers of the Eighth Texas Regiment, better
ouested TO write to you and ask-if it can he
done-that you will send by express to Colonel
w. Sayres, Gonzales, Texas. who will pay
charges. tho battle-hsg of said regiment, which
waa lost Oct. 13:h, 1864. in q battle near Goose
willie, Georgia, and is now in the library OF the
State House of your State. Now that the war
is over, and ancient friendshiPs are being TO
this command left on the field OF honor, 70
have their old standard returned to them IL
will be another evidence that We are indeed
friends again, and have clasped our hands in
fraternal union. have the honor to be, very
respectfully, Il. B. HUBBARD,
GoreyRor Of Ierds-"
The request is indorsed by Col. j. G. Vail, Of
Princeton, Indiana, who commanded the Seven
seensh Indians, the regiment -eartasisg the
coiors, and it has been referred to the Adja-
dant General for disposal.
Before Governor Williams, of Indiana, can
reply to this address, which will 60 straight to
the heart of every man who ever wore 9 sword
or carried q musket, the silence is broken by .
magp;e named Conner, who holds the Office of
State Librarian of Indiana, and who says
"Being custodian of the rebel flag which tie
Governor of Texas desires returned, simply
have to say that wbiie have control of it, it
,riH remain in tho State Library. IL 10 Q trophy
of the heroism of my comrades of Indiana,
both living and dead. and if the Governor of
Texas cannot be 'pacified' without its return,
he and his soldiers of the lost cause will have
to go unpaofisd. If Colonel Vail, of Gibson
County, desires its return. as I understand he
does, I propose to stand between his deeires
and the hon or of his soldiers 30 long as 1 oc-
cupy the position / now do. As guide to the
course of the Governor of Texas and General
Terry's rebels, refer them to Hebrews xii 4.
1st. &. A. CONNER, State Librarian"
1t is hard to comment in good temper on this
impertinent harangue; but we have no doubt
what the decision of Governor Williams will
be, regardless of this excessively loyal person.
