THE New Orleans Democrat gays

THE New Orleans Democrat gays
of the story that General Hancock
was the Presidents messenger to
Governor Nichols to secure the
pardon of Anderson ''For cold
blooded, unblnshing impudence,
this Just beats the devil himself"
The Democrat further remarks that
there is not a word Of truth in the
story, whereupon the New Orleans
Times declares that it is well known
that Nichols had decided to pardon
Anderson, and that he communi-
Gated this fact to General Hancock.

From present indications the pas
sage of the silver bill will not prove
such n bonanza to the silver kings
as was anticipated. Their hopes
of getting a corner on bullion and
bulling the market are seriously in
terfcred with by the fact that silver
can be purchased considerably
cheaper in London than in this
country. A shipment of S5Oo,ooo
reached New York Friday, and
$1,000, 900 more has been purchas-
ed in the English markets.

Nor satisfied with their success
in turning white Republican Rep
resentativcs out of the seats in Con-
gress to which they were elected, in
order to obtain more certain party
legislation, it is now announced
that the Democracy are making an
attempt to oust Rainey, Smalls, and
Cain, the only colored Representa-.
tives in Congress. Smalls' case is
already in the hands of the Com.
mittee on Elections. At the COM
mencement Of the present season,
the Democratic majority in the
House was 10; now, by unseating
Republican members, ETC., it is 81,
and likely to be increased by the

In addition to the generous appro
priation for the purpose of an Amer
lean exhibition at the Paris Expo
sition, several mcn-of-war have been
fitted ont for the special service OF
carrying the goods intended for the
exhibition to France--thc Constitu
ton at cost of $4,000, and the
Constellation and Wyoming at a
less expense. These three vessels,
with officers and crew of several
hundred men, carry abought what
would load one of the regular line
steamers. Common principles OF
economy would have suggested that
the goods be sent by the latter,
which would have saved many
thousand dollars, besides being
much more speedy--though it would
have lacked the element of fuss and
feathers, for which the former plan
makes occasion.

The Texas Border.

Gov. Hubbard has written three-col-
umn letter to President Hayes on border
affairs. He goes into the "details of the
causes Of the Mexican raids, and gives
the history of the same for the last
twenty years, including Cortinas' cap
lure of Brownsville in 1859. The Gov
ernor's specific charges are: 4aH
/. It has been depredatory war.
2. Custom-House officials have been muir
Jdered, Custom Houses taken and robbed, Post
offices robbed and burned, hundreds of citizens
killed and some tortured. William Mcmahon.
for instance, had his legs cut off and was forced
to walk on the stumps. Murdoch was chained,
a harrow placed on him, and he was burned
while in his own house, within five miles of
Corpus Christi. Women have been made pris-
oners and subjected to treatment too horrible to
mention. ,,f
8. A million dollars worth Of property has
been taken from Texas owners, carried into
Mexico, and sold in the public markets.
4. Mexico has furnished an asylum for the
robbers and place Of deposit for their stolen
goods.
5. The Mexican Government has been mott
fed many times by ours of the existence of
these evils, but it has not restrained it's citi-
ze1s, and it refuses to permit the United States
to break up the hostile bands which commit
Iu0 atfOcltl0S, dQQ mas declared all HtCeupt 10
do SO O. cause for war.
6. Mexico has refused to execute the extra
dition treaty by not surrendering raiders who
were themselves enemies of mankind, by break
ing the Jail Of Storr county, releasing prison
ers therefrom, and wantonly wounding our
peace officers, and by turning loose fugitives
under Indictment for murder in Texas and
regularly demanded by our Commissioner of
Extradition.
7. She has afforded an asylum to Indians,
and permitted them to use her territory to set
on foot expeditions to invade the territory of
the United States, and to wage savage war
fare upon the people of Texas, including within
it's scope every age and sex. Children have
been captured i'll Texas carried into Mexico
and held as slaves.
Gov. Hubbard asserts that Texas does
not want war, but simply protection from
Mexican violence. He charges that the
San Elizario mob who shot Howard,
Mcbride and Atkinson to death, was
composed largely of Mexican citizens.
The Governor recites the horrible mas
sacre. and says, ''Mexico should make
amends for the crimes committed by her
citizens"

This is almost equal to the new mile
age reported at corresponding time for
the year 1875. tits a notable fact, how
ever, that the cost of construction and
equipment never ruled SO low as during
the past year, and also that railways
were never before built so nearly for the
cash cost and with so little fictitious cap
ital !; so that the aggregate of capital
invested in the 1890 or SO miles of new
road is far less than that represented in
a corresponding increase Of mileage in
former years. To show the remarkable
growth of the narrow gauge system in
augurated only hall, dozen years ago
in this country, the Age has given in it's
summary the figures for "wide-gauge"
(ncluding, in two or three instances,
roads of five .feet) and narrow
gauge separately. No less than
65 per cent. Of the roads in num-
Der, and IS per cent. in mileage, were
of the latter -three-feet gauge-ex-
cept in one or two cases, where three
feet six inches was used, and in another,
where the novel width of two feet was
chosen. These narrow-gauge roads have
all been constructed very cheaply, and in
many cases where it would have been
difficult or impossible to raise the money
for even q :" light standard-gauge road.
In some cases a mistake has been COM
mitted in varying from the usual stand
ard of the country, but in may others
the three-feet gauge is equal to all pos
sible demands that will be made upon it,
and as the roads are intended solely to
supply limited local needs, where the
people have no expectation of Or ambi-
ton for building parts Of q great
{" Through" system, they are well adapted
to their localities. va }3tA '' aI'4

DemetriuS BulgariS.

Demetrius Bulgaris, Chief of the Greek
Revolutionary Society, is dead. He was
born in 1901 in the island of HYDRA. of
which his father was Governor In 1888
he was appointed a Minister, during the
regency of Otho, and subsequently sat
in the National Assembly. When the
Crimean war broke out he was made
President of the Council. From this
position of trust he was compelled to re-
sign in 1859 on account of the stubborn
resistance of the King to the liberal
measures demanded by the people, but
in 1862, when the revolution broke out,
he was recalled to power and became
President Of the Provisional Govern
ment. The triumvirate of BuIgaris
Canaris, and Rouphos ordered an cleo
ton of a King by universal suffrage, and.
Prince Alfred, of England, was chosen
by an immense majority. Neither En-
gland, France, nor Russia, however,
would permit any Of their Princes to &C
cept the throne, and Prince George, of
Denmark, was finally elected Bulgaris
was appointed President of the Council
and Minister of the Interior, but in 1865
again resigned when the King refused to
or prorog11e the Chambers. Dur
ing the present Russo Turkish war he
has, been prominent, as the leader of the

The Woman Who Knew.

Saturday forenoon Il little old woman
who had come to town in a one-horse
wagon, entered store on Woodward
avenue where gents furnishing goods
are sold, and asked if they kept such a
thing as a mans night-shirt..
Certainly we do was the reply as
the clerk reached for box.
"Well, my old man was travelling
down in Rhode Island last fall, and he
heard about 'em and saw one,," she con-
tinued, "and he's been half crazy ever
since to own couple. Things have
come to a pretty pass when men have
got to have one shirt for day and the
other for night, but Thomas is rather
childish, and [ thought I'd get him
one." ne
"Most all men wear 'em now," said
the clerk as he opened the box. "What
price do you want to pay?'
Well, I dunno" she unused, as she
picked up one after another and let them
drop. CT didn't say wanted one for
myself, did II" ''
"Why, no. of course not. These are
gentlemen's night.shirts, madam three
different styles" ''5s
She picked up the plainest one. shook
it out, held it at rm's-length, and cold
ly said: E}'3F@ANaf "f sa 40
Young man, do you pretend to call
this garment q night-shirt for a man q

The Liberated FenianS.

A correspondent III Dublin writes that
the recently liberated Fenian prisoners
arrived in that city from London, via
Holyhead, and were made the subjects
of magnificent ovation. As the train
arrived at the station Of tile Dublin and
Kingston railway, in Westland row, they
found an immense crowd, accompanied
by bands OF music and green and orange
flags, awaiting their arrival. About
10, 600 men were packed in the open
space in frontlof the station, and thous-9
ands of torches were burning. AS the
four ex-prisoners- Chambers, McCarthy,
O'Brien, and Davitt stepped out Of the
train, they were seized by a number of.
stalwart mea and carried on the shout.
ders of the, crowd to carriages which
were in waiting in the street outside. AS
the prisoners emerged from the door of
the railroad station they were greeted
with deafening cheers, again and again
repeated. The bands struck up
"God Save Old Ireland" and, on
theinstant, every head was uncovered,
and the immense crowd sang the,
national air in chorus. An address of
welcome was read, to which one
of the prisoners, on behalf of his fell
ows, replied, and a torchlight process
sion was then formed, which wheeled
out into Brunswick street, and proceed
ed to the hotel where rooms had been
prepared for them. AS the procession
advanced, large numbers of men fell
into line along the route, and there must
have been fully 90, 900 men in the pro-
cession, while the streets along the line
of march were literally packed with
spectators, who cheered Justify as the
ex-prisoners passed. All Dublin was in
the streets, and the demonstration was
considered to have exceeded in numbers,
enthusiasm, and political significance
the funeral of John O'Mahoney, last
year. Twenty bands took part in the
display, and the greatest order and dis
cipline prevailed among the immense
crowd.
Thomas Chambers was corporal in
the Sixty first Foot, and served through
the Indian mutiny. Charles Mccarthy
was color-sergeant in the Fifty ninth
Foot, and served with distinction in the
Crinean war. John O'Brien was med
ical student, born in London, and was
for few months previous to his convic-
ton private soldier in the Eighty fifth
Foot. Michael Davitt was a civilian,
convicted for purchasing arms in Bir-
ningham. Chambers and Mccarthy
were twelve years in prison, O'Brien
eleven, while Davitt was only q, little
over seven. -
