The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1878-11-28

Hon. S. ). Cox, at Clinton Garden,
n. Y, delivered speech to great
multitude q few evenings ago. He
closed with these admirable sentences
"Oae of the elements of our written
Constitution is the reservation of pow
ers to the States, with a wider scope
than that which Republicans have
practiced. 1t is founded on our di-
verse communities-mGny in one. Il
would blot out not merely race and
class distinctions, so us to reach the
common veal, but bury forever in the
waters of oblivion all memories which
eXsspeTate and distract. Our war has
been closed more than thirteen years,
and yet no active, geuel al amnesty has
been passed. We avail. the advent Of
Democratic Senate for its consumma-
ton. UAtil it be passed it is just as
we'll to inscIibe the battlefelds upon
our national flags now borne IN our
army. 1t is in fact keeping full ad-
vanced the stars and bars. The at
tempt of the present tenant of the
White House to concIliate the South
by withdrawing forces from Its States,
made under apprehension and trade to
gain and quiet an Infamous tile, has
revived the South from Its prostration,
and-Inade them in fact, as we'll as in
paine, an integral part of q united peo-
pie, with q common prosperity. Seek
in VAIN for some excuse for the infa-
nous conduct for the last thirteen
years. With the same spirit of audac-
ity that seized the presidency in def
of hn <Nf
pie, Republican orators are proclaim
ing again fresh crusade against the
South. Born of sectional chickering's
and injustice, that party seeks to re-
vive its fsllen fortunes by returning to
the sectional spirit which gave it birth.
Il is poor pretext to say that this is
done because the South are seeking
large military claims against the gov
eminent growing out of the war, for
they are settled by an amendment to
the organic law forever. 1t is a poor
pTetext to say the South is still disloy-
al because it will not fight for the par
~ which, through fraudulent Presi-
dent, gave them what was only their
due. The truth rises higher than these
pretexts. The truth is, that the South,
forever ignoring, by form of resolution
in Congress, and by its thousand
tongues In press and on the forum, its
| ole claim OF secession, desires to be one
with us in interest, IN government and
under our starry ensign. 1t must be
one with Us, whether governed wisely
or unwisely, in spite of all eventuali-
ties and possibilities of the future. 1t
is determined to plant the white ban
ner of peace along with the red, white
and blue, and to bring, as l trust it
will, its doctrines of limited power and
domestic government, rigid accounte-
bility and ancient frugality to the aid
of the natior, which never needed
them so much as they do to-day.
As final consequence and honest
conclusion to this too elaborate state
ment Of representative trust, may /
not say as Democrat of the olden
faith, Stand regularly on the ancient
ways! Let all your aims be just; and
il just they will be Dentcra,icr"

There was dramatic scene in the
Vanderbilt trial on the nineteenth IN
slant. Bishop McTyeire, cross-eIam-
ined, was asked whether he knew that
the Commodore's wife had a husband
still living 10y the name of Elliott.
Vanderbilt's counsel objected. Then
Judge Black, rising and speaking slow
ly, aud under evident embarrass ment,
said: "This is not trifling matter.
Here is a man eighty years old marry
ing woman fifty years his junior, who
came here a stranger after separating
from a husband who is sill living.
ness felt toward this woman by
the CommOdOre's daughters, some
of whom were already graDdmoth-
ers, and that this feeling should
have turned the heart of the father
against them, are 2eDsAl results, But
there was one excsStion ia the family.
VIM. II. Vanderbilt encouraged the
marriage, and continued to show as
much regard for the woman rs though
she had not done the injury of marry

the aggravatiOn is immense, il, in sd
dition t. showing the distress and
hatred that this ma Rage caused, we
show that it was unlawful, and that,
therefore, whatever Influence Mrs.
Vanderbilt exerted was undue.

weakness of his nature, is not Q reason
why = will made under such circum-
stances should be allowed to stand"
Judge Black sat down and buried
his flushed face in his hands.
Mr.. Choate said the record Of tie
court, showing Mrs. Vanderbilt was
legally separated from her husband,
could be produced IL necessary. The
surrogate sustained the objection.

BOB INGERSOLL RELIEVES IN
WOMAN.


Col. Robert c. Ingcrsoll lec;ured to
q very large audience at Louisville a
few evenings since. He seemed to
have captured his audience at the start
and held it unclaimed with his elo-
quence through the whole hour and q
half. His subject was "The Freedom
of Man, Woman and Child" of whom
be is reported as saying:
He believed in marriage. lie wculd
rather liYe in world of trouble with
the woman he loved than to dwell in
heaven peopled by men. He extoled
the Counting days" of youth aud eulo-
gized the young fellows who would
follow to the worlds end the banners
Of health and beauty in the chooks of
his sweetheart. He compared the Adam
and Eve of the Bible with the Adam
and Eve of the Brahmin Scriptures,
andmade out his case in favor of the lat
ter colple as nober tradition. He
pictured the Divine Being as holding
Adams rib in his hand ard debating
whether he should make out of 1t bru-
nette or a blonde. The finest passage
of the lecture was his sketch OF Napo-
leon, whose cold and heartiess smbi-
ton caused him to put away the wo-
man who loved him as a contrast to
the humble French peasant, under
whose roof love dwelt, asserting that
he would rather die aud be re'egated,
like the latter, to the tongueless ST.
lence of the past, than to have been,
like the former, a wrecker of hearts
and homes. The applause which greet
ed the passage Was most tremendous.
The life of that man, he said, who
had won the affection of single VIC
mans heart was a success, while the
life of al emperor who acknowledged
no empress of his heart was an abso-
lutte failure. Women had, he believed,
every right that man possessed, and
one in addition, the right to be pro-
tected. The cross husband was satiI-
ICED most happily.

Washington and the reign of demon

Smith was discussing these facts not
many days ago in a Democratic news
paper Office. The editor says that
when Gen. Smith observed that Lin

the motto of Democratic newspaper,
the General said it was a noble senti-
merit and worthy of Lincoln's great
mess.

tary Stanton that at the first Cabinet
meeting after the surrender, the ques-
ton rs to what should be done with
the Confederate leaders was under dis
cussion. Some of the Cabinet were
for banging, some for imprisonment,
and so on. During the discussion the
President sat at the end of the table
with bis legs twisted up, and said not
q word. At last some one appealed to
him for his views. The Presidents
reply wac, Gentlemen, there has been
blood enough spilled; not another
drop shall be shed il l can help it.
Said Mr.. Stanton: This reply was

GOLD AER's,, GOODNESS OF
HEAnT.

OF ali the men the war produced,
not one SO won the hearts of the peo-
pie or was such an absolute copqueror
of the South as "0ld Abe Lincoln"
y zen the conflict was begun, the
South contemplated his character, pur-
poses and peculisrities simply as he
was painted before us by ignorant or
passionate party-lesders. He was the
"gyascutus, the horrible, misshspen
goblin damned Of the stump speakers.
Lamar, when advocating secession in
1860, drew pictures OF Abe Lincoln as
splendid for misconceptions of person
and character as effective in rendering
the hatboatmsn and rail-splitter ludi-
crous aud odious. The selection of
such supposed man for thepresidency
induced many to assent to the secession
movement. But how thorough and
wonderful the changed Enough truth
escaped from the North into the be-
leaguered South, 6sllO JlGg1ante, to
give Southern people somewhat just
estimate of Lincoln's virtues and pecu-
liarities. When men have wronged an
other and would make amends they are
apt to 60 as much too far in ASCENDING
exalted worth and virtues as formerly
in unjostly derogating from claims to
excellence. When the people of the
South discovered how they had been
duped by party-leaders and newspa-
: ers they became, in many instances,
most extravagant admirers of the origi-
nal, unique and big Lincoln.
Every little story and anecdote illustra-
tive of his droll humor and generous
good nature was gathered up and re-
peated again and again, TIL at the close
of interstate hostilitles "Old Abe's"
name was already household word,
and when he fell the people of
the South were as vlsibly shocked
and outraged as were they of
the North, and everywhere intel
Southern people were ac-

A SMALL DIv1DEND.--At q late
meeting Of the creditors of the bank
rupt firm of I. L. Clubhouse & Co.,
of Chester, the compromise proposed
by the firm was accepted. They pro-
posed to pay 20 por cent. of their
indebtedness--10 per cent cash and
the balance on n credit of one year.
The number of creditors was one
hundred and thirty one, Of whom
more than one hundred favored the
proposed arrangement. The mi
nority, I suppose, will be bound by
the decision of the majority. The
firm expect to open their store
and resume business, as soon as the
compromise proceedings have re-
ceived the sanction of tho Court

Il Y1LUIfDLE COW.

We are indebted to Mr.. j. G.
Keys for statement of the yield
from ono cow kept by him for the last
ninety days, and give it as a matter
of information to our readers, with
the hope that it may tend to induce
them to take care of their milk
COWS, and receive similar profit.
The following is tho average per
day:
LIT 80 days, SO lbs or pints por day.
I'd 80 days, 38k lbs. or pints per day.
Sd 80 days. 81 lbs. or pints per day,
or for the first 80 days she gave 43
gallons per day; the next 80 days
she gave fraction over AZ gallons
per day; and the third 80 days she
gave 4 gallons and five pints per
day. During fourteen days of this
time she averaged 5 gallons per
day, and on ono day she gave ST
gallons. The total amount Of milk
given in the 80 days was 418 gallons
and l pint. From this amount of
milk 1877 pounds of butter was made.
The COW is half Durham, of medium
size, md weighs GA pounds live
weight. She has given milk
since the LIST day of June, 1875,
with the exception Of q short inter-
val last year, and still holds up in
the quantity of milk she yields.
This shows the advantage Of keel-
ing one cow properly, intead of half
a dozen or so in the ordinary way

policeman the other day. Detected
in stealing q watch he ran away, and
Mt the moment the policeman came
up with him he appeared to pass
the watch to a bystander, saying,
"Here, take it." The policeman ar
rested both and took them both
before a magistrate, where both
loudly declared their innocence.
They were Immediately searched,
but nothing could be found to
criminate them. The pickpocket
then accused the policeman of CON-
mitting the theft himself, and on
searching his own pockets the
astonishea officer discovered the
waic in his pocket. The pick
pocket, having enjoyed his little
joke, Immediately acknowledged his
guilt, to the intense relief of the
