The Property Holders Union still holds
on to the hope ofpreventing the city fiom
voting aid to the Texas Pacific Railroad.
DR.. Tebault has addressed the City Coun-
Gil, objecting that it might cause the
levying of a 0ne per cent tax, half for 1876
and half for 1877, and in connection with
this burden sought to be imposed on
one single interest, and imposed, mores
over, by uninterested votes, and upon
principle distinctly communistic in char
aeter," places before it the message of ex-
Mayor Leeds, of March %, 1876. He
also calls attention to the premium bond
contract, and maintains that if it means
anything it limits the city's power to tax
to one and one-haf per centfor fifty years
Incidentally he denies that this would re-
suit disastrously to employees of the city,
such as school teachers, lRborers, police
and other necessary creditors.
On the question of the new election
law requiring new registration previous
to any election, the Mayor is of the opin-
ion it is not necessary. Therein he differs
from the mouthpiece of the Property
Holders Union, and is, no doubt, correct,
for the law providing for the submission
of the question to the people was intended
to apply to the law of elections as it then
existed, and can not be construed as modi-
fed by the subsequent election law reIat-
ing to general elections, its specific object
not being mentioned in it. The election
will probably ,be fixed for about the end
of the month.

MORALITY vs.. ETIQUETTE.

There has been much SAID lately in the
papers throughout the country on the
subject Of the stand taken by President
and Mrs. Hayes in the matter Of temper
ance, and, although attempts have been
made by some Of them to belittle the sub
ject as unworthy the dignity of the press,
it is far from unimpOrtant. As individuals,
it is, indeed, a matter Of small conss-
quence what Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes have on
table for dinner or what they offer to their
guests; but the high position which they
now occupy invests their action with ex-
trinsic importance; as youth, in all
countries. even in our irreverent
republic. viii be Influenced by the exam
pie Of those high in station. Now, the
President and bis wife are openly opposed
70 tho use Of Intoxicating drinks in all
forms. This is mis.named temperance:
but that does not matter-it is good
thing to be intemperate in opposition to
intempeEanoe. The point is. that being
publicly committed to the cause Of total
abstinence, they were required BY eti-
quette to furnish vine to their guests at
q certain recent State dinner This they
did after having been reluctantly con-
yinced Of its necessity but abstained from
partaking themselves Of iha forbidden
luxury; nor did they feel called upon 10
commit the social hypocrisy Of having
vine poured into fheir glasses ia doiar-
susa q - hlla e lheiE guests In

There were merry doings at Grunewald
Hall on Thursday night. The sympa-
thigers with those who fell on the Demo-
cratic side on the fourteenth of September
were assembled to pay the usual quarterly
tribute TO their memory. This took the
form of eating and drinking, music and
dancing, amateur Thespian performances
and other manifestations of regret. The
affair, as is customary, netted a large
amount to the treasury of the enterprise.

Governor Hendricks is reported to have
said in recent speech at San Francisco
that the Northern Democracy have not yet
given up the presidential contest, but
that, on the contrary, determined effort
will soon be made to secure the title to
ar. Tilden by writ of quo aoarTdnto or
some other suitable legal proceedings In
consequence of the hopes excited in the
minds Of Southern Democrats they do not
at present sympathize with their North
ern brethren in this movement, but that
will have little influence on the main
question, since the wing Of the party
north Of the Ohio river will pursue such
course as they think proper without ask
ing the cooperation of those who are
ready to sell out all tho "encient ira
ditions" for the privilege Of enjoying the
local patronage Of their respective States.
If it is finally decided to strike a blow
for Sam Tilden, however, the Southern
Democrats will not be very likely to in
terpOse any objections. Messrs. Hampton
and Nichols especially will have every
reason to wish the movement success, no
matter how they may be restrained by
what they consider gratitude to President
Hayes.
For both these political heads of petty
soyereignties have long since found ont
two very unpleasant facts: J. That they
were elected to put their friends in place.
2. That their friends ousnumber the
places at their disposal ten or twenty to
one. II would, therefore, be quite re-
lief to the Governors both Of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana for Mr.. Tilden to rein
FORE them with ali and singular the nu-
merous Federal Offices in the gift Of the
President The Northern Democrats may
rest assured thai whsn they are ready 70
60 ahead on that line fhsy win ind Che

"Gossipers."

Language is the golden key of tho't,
and a word spoken is a link from the
chain dropped for others to pick up.
To converse we'll is the desire of FALL,
and u languarge should be 80 sacred
to us that our study and aim through
life should be to render it pure and re-
fined. But it is not generally so, and it
makes us heart-sick to hear the abuses
of it every day. If refined and elegant
language is delightful in public speak
ers, how much more so in private con
versation. 1t is sad to know that in al
most every community there is a class
of people who use their conversational
powers to inform the world of the say
ings and doings of their neighbors.
These 'gossips" are on the outlook for
every innocent word spoken, and have
no peace until it is started, clothed with
their W ideas, so it rolls from mouth
TO mouth, gathering as it goes, finally
it becomes a big ball of YARN. 1t is dan
-gerous to be seen in earnest CONVERSE
ton with any one. These idle-mongers
Immediately begin to wonder what you
are talking about, forming their own
suggestions. Watch the sparkle of their
eyes and animated express! ON, mark
the smooth glib of tongue, the peculiar
tone of voice as they begin their COM
m~unications. "Did you know that
Miss a. heard Miss 3. tell Mrs. c. that
Mrs. D. had done so and So" while
poor innocent Mrs. D. had never did
any thing of the kind. All, how many
innocent hearts are crushed, how many
pure characters are tainted, how many
worthy intentions and noble deeds are
misunderstood and condemned, how
many go through life, their hopes and
ambitions withered or destroyed bythis
canker of society? 1t should be abo-
lished, mothers and wives have much
to do with this. The home circle should
be held too sacred to be polluted by
gossip" that could originate only in
low and groveling minds. Home should
be dedicate to love and truth, its Ian
guage should be of wisdom that would
not stain the life of an angel. Ifpure
thoughts originated at home, how diff
ferent would be the aspect of the world.
There is no honor, no glory in speak ng
i'll of others. 1 fyou can not speak well
of them refuse to speak of them at all.
There is nothing more disgraceful than
having the name of "tattler." The very
school boys blush to hear it, or scorn to
own it. Have nothing to do with those
who deal in it. There is truth in that
old Spanish prover5, ''Tell me who you
live with and 1 will tell you who you
are" Life is too short to spend in
working i'll for others. Strive to do
some thing useful to yourself and those
around you; scatter blessings, relieve
drive away despair, and dis
pei mists. You can not be too lavish
with kind words, generous actions or
sympathetic feelings. Let your life be
as much as possible in imitation of Him
who said, "Do good to those who de-
spitefully use you. \
