Hayes is 55 and Wheeler 81.

Hayes is 90 and Wheeler 81.
The vote in the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives last Friday on the resolu-
tion declaring Hayes elected by fraud,
ETC., was passed by vote OF 9to z.
That is to say, there was no quorum
hardly tenth of the members, we sup
pose. Nevertheless, the resolution was
spread upon the journal, but will, no
doubt, soon be expunged. .r
1t seems the reason Hayes took the
oath Saturday evening was because the
Republicans heard Tilden wac going
to take the oath also In New York, and
so get some legal advantage in fight
for the presidency in the courts if he
should conclude to make one. The
Republicans have been very nervoI
the past month, and Hayes has been
shadowed by two detectives ever since
he left Columbus-aIprecaution which,
it has just leaked out, was taken in
the cases of Hoar and Garfield while
they were on the Electoral Commits
sion. r. ..
The Washington Star says: The alb
sence of Judges Clifford and Field dur
ing the ceremonies in the Senate Cham
Der yesterday excited good deal of
comment. They were both members
of the electoral commission, and voted
throughout its sittings with the Demo-
cratic members Of that body. The
natural inference is that they purpose
ly absented themselves yesterday in
order that the world might be given to
understand that they did not counte
nance the Inauguration of person
whom they do not regard as the legal
ly elected President Of the United
States" - itr
Henry Watterson in his recent speech
said the Democratic party has but to
pick itself out of the slough OF de-
spond, look calmly at the situation as
it is, and move forward bravely up the
rocky ridge. There may be deserter
here and there. If there is, let him go.
There may be, there will be, many a
comrade who shall never mount the
hill. Bury him with the honors OF war
and march forward. For US the word
should be, as it was given by the
greatest of philosophers and statesmen
a hundred years ago, "Cheer US if we
run; console us il we fall; but. for
Gods sake, let us pass on; let us pass
on"
There are stories from Washington
that Robeson leaves the naval depart

THE Cleburne Chronicle exclaIms in
piteous accents, "Hsyes President and
four moro years of Radical misrule. I"
The Chronicles editor should be put IN
a straight jacket and gagged. Hayes
has uttered no word and done no act
thus far Indicative of a purpose to con-
duct "Radical" administration, and
the press that makes such assertions
does Hayes and the South measureless
injustice, rendering practices of conser-
vatism by the President impossible
1t would be q terrible reflection for
newspaper men if it could be justly as
serted of us in future years that Hayes's
policy of justice to the South and OF
hostility to sectiODalism was defeated
by a crazed or unjust, illiberal and un'
thinking newspaper press.

A CHANCE FOR THE FARMER.
Texas Is the field for enterprise to
the hardworking farmer. Nowhere in
the world can he get SO much for his
labor as in her virgin soil. The intel
ligent farmer will not require further
information. Let him consider, that
with the richest soils and with seasons
from three to four months longer than
here in the North, he has there the
whole wide field of productions to
choose from and experiment in. There
the stockraiser has an ample COM
petence from little labor. There the
cattle thrive upon the prairies, without
other care than the annual herding and
branding, while here in the North the
stockraiser must feed his cattle from
four TO six months in the year. Sheep
raising in Texas is direct road to COM
petence. All portions of the State are
adapted to sheep raising. With a
climate and pasturage every way equal
to the countries producing the cheap
woods, against which the Northern
wool-grower requires protection, the
Texas woolgrower has this Northern
protection TO augment his gains.
Meuno wool can be proftably produced
IN Texas at seven cents per pound.
Such is the Lone Star State, the land
of beauty; the land of plenty; the land
of provisions; the land of bread stuffs;
the land of fruits; the land Of flowers;
sho land of forest, and the land of
prairies; land that Offers home that
will be in name and in fact sanctuary

that extends cordial invitation and
an earnest greeting to all who wish to
link their fate with hers. For the farm
er, let him choose his favorite crop, and
she will yield him an abundant return
if he will but do half his duty to her
fertile soil. To those who wish to en-
gage in manufactures, she offers an en-
pire eager to bug the products Of their
skill and enterprise. To t ose who
wish to engage in commerce, thore Is
no country that offers more inviting
field. Indeed, to all grades and asIss
of men, Texas extends hearty well

great destiny.

love to work, and regards loafng as
one of the prerogatives of his status.
1t was supposed at one time that white
men could not stand to labor in the cot
ton and sugar fields, ana that the South
ern climate was not adapted to farm
culture of any kind by the white race,
which belief deferred white emigration
to the Southern States. This, however,
was an erroneous impression, for since
the freedom and enfranchisement of
the colored man necessity has forced
the white man into the field, and it is
now an established fact that the climate
is adapted to white field labor, and
that the white man can endure as much
and perform as much or more labor
than the colored man, and the consc-
quence is that many poor white labor
ing men and farmers with small means
are securing handsome competency
by cultivating but few acrts Of Texas
soil.

THE desperate condition of the cot
ton market at this special season,
when farmers are "pitching their
crops" " determining the relative
number of acres to be assigned to each
product that they cultivate-will cause
tic leaes possible quantity of cotton to
be produced and the greatest of grain,
pigs, cattle, sheep and goats, War in
Europe seems almost inevitable, and
whether the nations come to blows or
not they cannot make their bread
when Russia maintains a million men
under arms, Germany almost as great
a force, and while Austria, Italy,
France, Spain and England perpetrate
like Ifollies and crimes. We alone
can hope to be profted. Texas can
supply the world with beef and bread,
and if the Old World neglects its
farms and industries still another year,
because Turkey and Russia threaten
the vorld's repose, 1t were wiser for
Texas to produce cereals and cattle
than cotton and sugar. r-".

IF HAYES execute the plan and tri-
umph in it of dissolving sectional and
giving the country, instead of these,
parties, such as are constituted of both
Northern and Southern elements of
force and philosophy, he will be the
greatest benefactor the South has ever
known, and, of truth, bigger man
than Old Grant"

PACKARD, somehow, seems really to
believe honestly that he is Governor of
Louisiana. We don't know anything
about Packard, but suppose that, like
Kellogg, he is an adventurer who came
into the South to use the negroes in
acquiring Office and money. Such q
man can have neither tastes nor sympa-
thies nor interests in common with the
people of Louisiana, and even if Pack
ard received more votes than Nichols,
they were votes of those who, confes-
sedly, knew not what they did.

lent the company'5 money to their
friends securing these loans by fancy
real estate at fanciful valuations. Life
insurance corporations fail because
corruptly administered, and since these
corporations have grown r.ch while en-
richIng countless agents and drummers
and ropersin, it is plain enough that
the country is the loser and the cor
porations profted, and the business
should be vigorously restricted by law.
THE New York World approves
Hayes's inaugural and subsequent acts
and is pleased to say that prosecution
of this policy by the President will be
the sure ruin of the Republican party.
1t is little strange, meanwhile, that
the World does not tell US how the Re-
publican party can be discovered with
out, at the same time, rending Democ-
racy in twain. To the extent that
sectionalism is eviscerated fIom party
platforms this result Is eminently de-
sirable. Any citizen, not place
seeker, loving the South more than he
loves party, would gladly promote
this consummation. But whether the
President can succeed in dIssolvlng
and expurgating his own party re-
mains to be seen. If this may be ac-
complished all desirable ends aimed at
will lie attained and the H'orld will
then see that the disintegratiQn of one
party is the dissolution of the other,
and production of third. There will
arise the Hayes party of conservatism
devoted to the restoration of Southern
prosperity and declaring for the free
dom of the states North and South.
There will be the party led by Mr.. Mills
in Texas. His adherents must be the
extreme and violeat men of the Demo
cratic organization - the secessionists
of 1860 1. Hancock, Culherson, and
those approving the policy of Hayes
and the ends contemplated by the
World will lead in the scheme designed
to destroy geographical, partisan Or
CARNATIONS. Three Northern States,
by large majorities, alone voted for
Tilden. The South did the rest. The
President proposes to change, in this
behalf, the geographical character of
parties and thus to liherate the South.
His success depends upon the Southern
press and cooperation of Southern and
Western people. Whether this may
be secured remains to be seen. Party
leaders and partisan editors are timid.
They prefer apparent consistency to
genuine honesty and truthfulness, aud
the President must lead the way and
absolutely compel this class of political
thinkers to approve his acts and sepa-
rate themselves from their file-leaders.
They must be first bull-dozed and
have the fangs extracted with which
they are accustomed to lacerate de-
praved Radlcalism.

UNOFFICIAL SOCIETY.
This is, of course, only official life
to which | refer. There is in Wash
ington more substantial and eXclu-
slve clement into which the vulgar
herd does not penetrate, and yet some
times person who is outside of this
charmed circle strays by the force of
some curious circumstance into the
giided ball room of one of the haugh-
tiest of this proud cotere. The wife
of a very prominent official, mau
whose position is not subject to any
changes of government, said that she
would not entertain mixed society
that she would invite only those whom
she desired to her receptions and her
beautiful balls. l attended a ball that
she gave that scason-a ball that was
unsurpassed in point of guests and
splendor. In glancing about the rooms
spied pair of faces that seemed out
of place in that select assembly.
"What are those people doing here2"
| asked q lady friend. "The host was
compelled to invite them out of policy.
The man just now occupies position
that brings him officially into contact
with our host, and for reasons it would
have been impolitic had he not been
invited here" Later on saw a lady's
dress spoiled by stupid you.g man.
l was told that he had probably been
brought to the house by some young
lady, and then invited to the ball.
There were still other similar incidents,
but these will show that all the proud,
boasted exclusiveness of the hostess
had to give way to policy, that motive
that rules supreme at the capital.
