now visiting all quarantine stations
shat deserve the name or effect the pur-
pose OF guarding the cities of Texas.
OF course our little arrangements, al
ways needless, are now wholly absurd.
The doctors say
If the gates" are properly guarded
there will be no necessity for local
quarantine. Each town and county
now maintaining such local quarantine
will contribute their pro rata of the ex.
penses of the new arrangement and
thereby make it lighter on all parties
and just as effective. -
We hope the DocSor will succeed in

JuDeE REAGAN says he hopes we
will have no trouble with Mexico. He
says that be only way for the United
States to stop depredstions of the
Greasers IL to put into operation the
law Of reprisal or the holding of CON-
munities, to which robbers return, re-
sponsible for their doings. notify the
Mexican government Of such intention
and carry it out. This would interest
the peaceably disposed Mexicans in
keeping raiders down and we would
haYe quiet along the RIO Grande. II
not quiet then war, which is better
than Is now, but he inclines to the
opinion that peace would follow such
. course. Judge Reagan urged such .
coursso on Gen. Grant and has done 50
on President Hayes and thinks prob
ably that it win be finally adopted.

EVERYBODY has observed, and the
STATESMAN has often adverted to the
fact, that the spores. il there be such
animalcula, that constitute the disease
called yellow fever, move like grass
hoppers. Why do these pests 60 Norlh
or South9 Why are they not scattered
broadcast by ever varying winds over
the whole countryl Why does the
yellow fever "grasshoppers, infiui
tessimally small though they be. follow
persistently fixed line of march?
They did this in 1867 and again in
1873, and now the story is repeated in
1878, and in each year a new route of
desoistiOn was chosen. Some doctor
in Houston has at length been induced
to speculate upon these facts and
he deduces the conclusion that Tex
as is and has ever been exempt
since the swarms of pestiIen,iaI spor-
ules started up the Mississippi, that
there has never been the slightest dan
ger in Texas. Il may be further ar
gued that quarantine would hardly
arrest the course of the plague if 1t |
consist of clouds of invisible insects |
borne by the winds from south to north |
or from west to east, as in 1867. But
no sooner Is one theory propounded
than another is substituted, and it is
almost impossible to arrive at the facts
Or find any two observers agreeing in
fact or theory. But the truth will be
known. Science and observation can-
not be always baffl d, and each OBJ
server and thinker should contribute
MS fund of information, however mea-
ger, to the general treasury of knowl-
edge affecting this recnndite question.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1878-10-03

the true remedy for the griefs of Mem
phls, like the sure preventive of such
woes IN Austin, consists not in words,
but in deeds; not in prayers, hut in
cleanliness; not in parties, but in the
confinement of government to the
hands of those Interested in the main
tenance of good government.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1878-10-03

there is no reason for arresting these
people, if the Houston Telegram be
well informed and just in its deduction
from the facts that the brutal villains
who burned family to death IN their
own home are guarded by an abun-
dance of money.

THE Sherman Register says Austin
and all Texas mourns over the death OF
the glorious Manning, who fell at

THE Sherman Register contains a de-

soon afterward /faised a company of
noble youtbs(near Lebanon, Tennessee,
whicb>was made at first the escort com
.Pany of the gallant Forrest, and subse-
quently of the chivalrous Wharton.
The latter, quick to discern true ge-
MUS, soon organized in his brigade a
regiment of Tennesseeans, which claim
ed Anderson for its colonel, and nobly
did he sustain their confidence. On
every field from Green river to the last
struggle of the Western army in North
Carolina was he where the battle waged
fiercest. He cared little for army reg
ulations; animated by the purest mo-
times, he believed it needed not tactics
to make brave men. His famous com
mand of ''Double up on Jim Brit"-
his favorite lieutenant-was the signal
for solid phalanx ready to bear their
breasts to shot and steele. A favorite
of Polk, of Cheathsm, of Forrest and
others, his very plainness gave him
their friendship, while his worth com
manded their esteem. His lite seemed
charmed, but-the arrow OF death came
aAd disease has achieved what neither
shot or steele could accomplish.
HIS career was che9uered. In early
youth he had braved the dangers Of
the plains, and was among the first pi-
oneers of California. After the chang
ing scenes of miners life there, he
journeyed to many Of the islands in
the Pacific, returning to his native
South only few years before the be-
ginning of the late war. His wander
ings at one time had brought him to
Texas, where his frsnkness, honesty,
and unselfshness had endeared him TO
many friends. At the close of the

The worst that these cipher dis

can possibly be put upon them is the
truth. am going to make the sup
position that Mr.. Tilden knew all
about these dispatches-those that
were signed and those that were re-
ceived; that he agreed deliberately
to pay S50,00 for the vote of the
State of Florida. / am going to sup
pose, even, that Mr.. Manton Marble,
although he denies it, attempted to
bribe the Hayes Returning Board in
Florida. Yet, suppOslng such to be
the fact, and then hear me when
say all that is proved Is attempted
bribery-attempted bribery. How
innocent, how petty and even limo
cent does attempted bribery seem in
the presence Of consurn!nated bri-
berry! How petty in contrast with
accomplished bribery and triumphant
Fraud. But even this attempted
bribery, it is not contrayencd, was
not to perpetuate a fraud. If these
men were to be brlbed, it was to tell
the truth and to do justice. But, ad-
mittin even that when a man is brib-
ed to tell the truth--how petty, triyi-
al, and comparatively innocent il Is
to bribe man to tell the truth, in
