Ex Governor W.rmoth. of Louisi-

Ex Governor Warmoth, of Louisi-
ana, is foxy politician. All the
while he was pretending to sustain the
Packard government he was in reality
helping the cause of Nichols and buy
ing State bonds. He purchased one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars
worth Of State bonds some time ago,
wheu'they were selling at 81, and sub
sequently disposed of them at "a,
making a clear profit of IS per cent.
Then he sold short of the same secu-
rites, and after the depression in their
price which occurred he fulfilled his
contract at considerable profit. When
the bonds touched 81 or So, as q result
OF his incorporating speech made in
the Legislature last week, he again
loaded up, his purchases, it is reported,
being greater than before. He will
now realize a third profit rs the result
OF the sharp improvement in the price
Of State securities which has taken
place since last FRIDAY.

Just as Europe is plunging into an
other war, France has succeeded in
footing up her bill of damages on ac-
count of the German war. The claims
which have been paid to private parties
for losses sustained during the German
invasion amount to nearly $50, 900, 900,
and another 800, 900, 900 has been alb
sorbed by the acquisitions made by the
German armies on cities Gao, 900, 900
on Paris alone), the expense of provid
ing for the German army of occupa-
ton, and other damages. This is but
a drop, of course, in the total expense
OF the German war to France. 1t
doubled her national debt, raising it
to the frightful sum of 4, 500, 900, 600,
two and a half times as much as that
of the United States. The annual in
terest charge of France is 5000, 900, :
900, or more than twice as much as
that Of the United States.

For the first time in many years a
United States man-of-war is making its
way on a peaceful errand up the MIssis-
sippi. But her progress is not rapid.
The trouble is not that blocked chan
mel, iron-clad gunboats and masked
batteries bar the way as they did in
days not far gone, but that the people
overwhelm the gallant naval officers
with hospitality At every plantation
anchor must be weighed to go ashore
for a banquet or dance. In return,
the gun-deck of the Plyu outh is
cleared nightly for 4 visit from the
Creole bellies. At Baton Rouge, Port
Hudson and Bayou Sara salutes wei
exchanged between shore and ship
everywhere the flag of the Union greets
the eyes and the Star Spangled Banner
the ears of the naval heroes. The
officers write that everywhere they
hsve met with unmistakable kindness,
and cruise that was originated with
out particular significance, has come to
be regarded as q part Of President
Hayes's peace policy, and as such &C.
cepted with heartiness which is ''ss
gratifying as it is amazing" In the days
Of Kellogg's usurpatiou such scenes
would have been impossible. So much
for beginning in the result of policy
Of peace.

Some days ago, in q paragraph
copied from another paper, we did In
justice to Bill Meadow and others. They
are not murderers, but only charged
with the crime. II has not been
proven, and they have not been exc
cuted. This writer from whom We
copied said that the Austin Jail con-
tanned five representative devils of
Cuero, and that there were fifty more
who should be there. ALI this is gross
wrong to the people and town of
Cuero, which is now rs law-abiding 3
place as any in Texas, having as good
and orderly population as any other.
The Tay lor-Sutton ieud, of which so
much has been said, and which has
been the cause of many OF these false
impressions affecting Cuero, is at an
end. The Suttons still remain, while
the other parties to the strife have left
the county. The Suttons are an hot est,
law-abiding people. They were the
first to attack the desperadoes and rob
bers, West. Hardin and the rest, who
once frequenied the county. This is
all ended, and the STATESMAN is well
pleased 20 announce the fact.

1t is contrary to custom to invite
guests to the marriage of widow. II
a wldower marries young girl, the
etiquette is the same as that of first
marriage. A widow must marry in
the morning early, without show, and
has only her witnesses and those of
her intended. Her dress must be
plain, of quiet color; black, however.
is not admissible. On leaving church
the bride invites to breakfast the wit
nesses who have formed the party, but
no other guests are invited to this re-
past. On the fifteenth day after the
marriage cards are sent bearing the
new address of the married pair. A
widow never makes wedding calls
after re-marrying. Those who receive
the cards do the visiting. There is a
month allowed for the return of the
cards and the visits. When q single
lady marries, after having passed the
usual age for marriage, the ceremony
should be simple and unobtrus.ve.

and the best means for the checking

The Pamela Waterman takes the
high ground that partyism should net
affect the interests of society, and
therefore commends Democratic law
yers, who lately selected Priest as spe-
cial judge Of the district court. There
upon the Ma shall Herald, which con-
dennis the STATESMAN for endorsing
the acts of Hayes, rakes those members
of the Legislature, who prosecuted
Priest for partisan purposes, over the
Goals, and wants to know in what they
were "fair-minded. This ebulition
of Lnughery is a mark of that reason
which will out at times in spite of
himself. But then Loughery desires
no longer to hold similar position to
Martin, who gets all his thunder from
Dan McGary, Of the GalrestOnian.

Mary Clemmer writes of Wade Hamp-

of chivalry, six foot knight, king
of lance and spur. His face is q battle
field, with the tracks of the conflict
running all over it. 1t is deeply lined,
while Chamberlain is as smooth as q
boys. Hampton's dark eyes look out
of sockets that seem to tell of years of
sleepless nights. They might burn and
blaze upon occasion, but their habitual
expression is sorrowful almost to
tears"

Martin went out into the country and
made a rousing speech about some
thing. He reached home at 1 o'clock
that night, and his account of himself
appeared in his paper next morning
Martin is modest, you knows fol-
lows: "Our Captain Martin attended
the Howe picnic and delivered an ad-
dress. As we write we imagine that
we hear the deafeHing shouts Of ap-
plause rend the air whenever the speak
er pauses to drop in comma. Wheth-
er the enthused populace encore his
grand eloquence as it dies gently away

along the ravines and blackberry thick
cts of that locality. or make the well
kin ring with their shouts of merri-
ment at the rose he had sticking in
his hair, is question that we can't get
over" Now that's the kind of hair
pin Martin is.

Justice TO woman.
AUSTIN. NAV 8. 1877.

AUSTIN, May ., 1877.
Editors Democratic Statesman That
redoubtable infdel, Bob Ingersoll, who
talks with the violence of q threshing
machine, does not seem to like the
Bible story Of the creation, and thinks
the Hindoo yarn" much the better of
the two. Now I am no champion of
Christianity (simply because l am a
sinneT but | am champion Of woman,
and think "fair play is jewell" and
since Col. Bob's sympathies are en-
listed in the cause of woman, perhaps
it would be we'll to think on the sub
ject, and instead of striking away
blindly, he might read up little. II
we examine history, we will find that
Christianity, and especially Protestant
ism, has elevated women, or rather re-
ipstated her to the position she merits.
Take the right Of property, which is
regarded as nearly of equal Importance
TO that of life or liberty. Under the
Mosaic dispensation, men were pre-
ferred in the law OF descent to women.
Come on down q thousand or more
years to ''refned and cultured" Athens.
What rights did woman havel She
mot inherit. If there were no
r husband took her fathers
4; and still worse, she might
.sed by her husband, along with
Cher goods and chattels. In Rome
me sons were preferred until-when2
Until Christian emperors admitted
woman to an equal share of the 10
heritance.
It is not necessary to allude to the
law Of primogeniture in Europe, be-
cause 1t was q consequence of the feu-
dial tenure; still it excluded women,
and was therefore unjust, and it never
obtained among the Protestants of
France. Even in England, in the ear
ly days Of Christianity, women were
admitted equally with men, but when
the church became corrupt she was de-
prived OF her just rights. 1t remained for
America, free (and l might say Protes-
tanD America, to recognize that life, ILL
erty aud property were not only abso-
Lutte rights Of man, but also of woman.
And in all the stars OF that bright gal
axy none shine with so Respondent a
light as the 'Lonc Star" of Texas.
Here it is that woman is adored, and
on her free soil woman's rights are
recognized.
Let Mr. Ingersoll read what Chris
tianity (Which Is synonym of the 10
erty he so much sdmires) has done for
Texas, and IL he continues his strain.
We can only think he proves the axiom
.'whom the gods would destroy they
