The resolutions affirm and announce
that the national democratic platform
OF 1876 as the authoritative exposition
OF the principles OF our party, and we
congratulate our political brethren Of
of the whole country that these prin.
ciples were endorsed in the national
canvass by the sutlrages of II decided
majority of the American people. We
believe the people fairly elected ma
jority Of the electoral college in favor
of the democratic candidates and
while in the high interest of the public
tranquility we submit to the author
ity OF the federal administration, we
denounce upon the guilty republican
party stern retribution for the great
public crime by which the people
were defrauded of their rights 10 be
governed by officers Of their choice,
and by which the elective principle
was wounded in Its most vital part.
We challenge for 1t the opprobrium of
history, and the indignant Judgment
of all honest men. We congratulate
the country, and the supporters OF free
government on the happy results
Of restored public order, and the
recovery of industrial prosperity;
the Inauguration of a new reign
OF domestic peace and liberty, regula.
ted by law in the southern section Of
the union, that have ensued upon the
doctrines OF democratic principles and
by measures of the executive diplO-
matte government In reference to the
southern states. We recognize in these
suspicious results the signal viDdica
ton and practical triumph Of the con.
stitutiOnal doctrine so faithfully con-
tended for by the democrats In the late
political contests and the statesmans
ship OF the wise fathers which seek
the welfare Of the republic by the sup
port Of the equal rights and dignity Of
all in the federal union. We trust
that hereafter, there will be no SOUTH
ern policy, no northern policy,
but one common policy for the whole
union and equality Of the rights and
duties before law. We are in favor Of
the honest payment Of the public
debt, and OF currency on gold BARS.

During a conversation with THE
HERALD reporter yesterday, the city
marshal said 1t was the intention OF
the police force to wage war on the
Migrants this fall. In fact the move
has already commenced, as the morn
ing sessions Of the recorders court
would show. The marshal looked for
large influx Of bummers and idlers
~ soon "a cold weather set In, and he
was going TO take time by the fore
lock and pay attention TO them as
soon after their arrival as possible.
He wanted to give Dallas such repu-
tation with this class as would make
them steer clear Of the city. The pc.
lice force, he said, was considerably
weakened by the resignation OF Officers
Dunn and Duncan, their places being
left vacant, but he intended to make
the best possible use Of the present
force,

The Night providers.

The visits Of the burglars continues
In some portions of the city. The pc.
lice, owing to their diminished force,
seem powerless to prevent the raids,
and the rogues take good care to carry
on their operations in neighborhoods
far removed from the main thorough
fares.
Yesterday morning early, thieves
entered the residence of Mr.. ID. G. No
Cord, corner OF Leonard and San Ja-
cinto streets, and stole money and ar
ticles TO the amount Of twenty dollars.
They took new suit OF clothes belong
ing to Mr.. McCord In the pockets Of
which was ten dollars. Entrance was
made through an open window.
The residence OF DIR. Jeffries, on
Ross avenue, also received visit from
the providers, who tried the windows,
but did not succeed In gaining admit
lance. A piece Of wire, ten or twelve
inches In length, was found next
morning under one of the windows. 1t
was crooked at the end, and had prob
ably been used by the robbers, who
tried to open the blinds. Mr.. David
Adams was awakened, by the dog
barking furiously, went outside and
looked around, but saw no one, the
thieves having left. Extra fastenings
had been placed on all the lower
blinds Of the house the day previous,
which doubtless bafiled the robbers.

WASHINGTON, September l3.--Rev.
John McElroy, the Oldest priest In
America, died to-day at Frederick,
Maryland, aged ninety.six years. He
WAS born In Ireland and came to
America In 1880. He made Washing
ton his home and shortly afterwards
joined the Jesuits at Georgetown col
lege, and was ordained priest In 1877.
AT the time the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad was in course OF construction,
many riots took place between the two
classes of Irishmen employed. The
military were almost useless, and the
only person who had any power over
the rioters was Father McElroy, who
restored peace on every occasion. Re-
coming infirm, he retired to the Novi-
ate at Frederick. Two years ago he
became blind and for several months
death has been expected. He built
churches and colleges In different Sec
tons OF the country, and was one of
the two chaplains who accompanied
the American army In the war with
Mexico, and had charge Of the sick
and wounded at MatamOras.
