THE military character" as General
GRANT phrases it, of the Southern people is
really the great drawback which has pre-
vented thorough reconstruction. The in-
stant lot of Southerners band together for
the service of any partisan end they are in
danger of drifting into military organiza-
tion. In this way the Democratic clubs of
that section became Rifle Clubs, and the
election contests partOok Of the character of
military struggles. The result is that the
South of to-day is one grand military en-
campment, the companies, battalions, brig
AIDES, divisions, and even corps of which
could, with very little difficulty and upon
very short notice, be "mobilized for active
field service. This is no exaggerated state
ment of the facts in the premises; ON the
contrary they will warrant much stronger
assertion to the effect that the South to-day
is governed, and willingly and naturally so
so far rs the Democrats are concerned-by
military heroes, through military methods
and by the promptings Of military princi-
pies. And this is the Solid South against
which the commercial North is expected to
do battlc-the North wherein military
as well as political discipline is irksOme and
unpopular; wherein sentimentality is shorn
of all COhesiveness and wanders about the
amless and easy victim Of plausible dupli-
city; wherein truce is accepted as a lasting
peace; but wherein sturdy patriotism eX-
lists so deep-seated that it requires the rude
shock Of threatened rebellion to arouse it to
earnest, effective, and concerted action.
When, however, the sectional collision
comes be it upon the field Or the forum, or
the baIlot-box, the North will always pre-

THE casualties among the commissioned
officers of our regular army for the last ten
years has been 103 annually, At this rate,
under the provisions of the appropriation
bill now pending in the Senate, there will
be something like 500 vacancies existing in
1881. With this fact before them is it to
be wondered that the Democrats in caucus
should have dictated that there shall be no
amendments in the Senate? This one Sec
tion provides not only patronage for their
Chopped for Democratic administration, but
at the same time Furnishes every old veteran
in the army. Will the people stand such
unjust treatment of our army?

ONE years suspension from rank of an
officer of the regular army has always been
regarded as a very severe sentence by q gem
eral court-martial, and yet we have had the
officers of our entire army under suspension
for year, pending the report of the joint
commission to prepare plan Of reOrganiza-
tion, the report having been made and re-
jected by both Houses of Congress. The
army is to be put under another sentence.

The wilds of South Africa will soon be
awakened by the echoes of the braying of
American mules, cargo of those intelligent
quadrupeds having recently been shipped
from New York by the English government
for service in the Zulu war. The only mis-
take we think the British government has
made in this adventure is that, as we have
before intimated, it has failed to employ for
this service a cargo or two of our idle expert
"nigger" killers. We could spare thou
sand or so of that kind of American beasts
much better than we can the mules.

THE demand of Mr.. BRAGG for the abo-
litiOn of the Southern Claims Commission
may be in the interest of the public good.
We are not disposed to pass judgment at
present on that point If the Southern
claims have all been properly and honora-
bly, adjusted, then the Commission has moth
ing further to do and should be abolished
as matter of useless expense; but if there
are claims in the South yet to be adjusted
and paid, it will be far safer and better for
the public interest to have this Commission
pass upon them than TO submit them for
adjudication TO Congress that is controlled
exclusively by ex-Confederates and their
political coadjutors who defer TO them in all
matters of Southern legislation. There
may be millions for the South in the aboli-
tion of the Southern Claims Commission,
which examines all these claims critically
before authorizing their payment. 1t is, in
our judgment, more to be trusted than a
Congress whose sympathies are altogether
with the South and its demands.

lr is very, very strange that thousands
after thousands of the freedmen of the South
persist in severing the sweet ties of allec-
tion, not to say blood and close kinship,
which bind them TO their former masters,
who are their natural friends you know.
But they arc desperately intent upon this
ungrateful proceeding; and, what is more,
in their reckless disregard of the teachings
of their white friends and kinsmen afore-
said, they insist upon rushing pell-mell iuto
the unwilling and cruel embrace of the cold
hearted, mercenary, money-making North

Incomes of Professional Men.
Boston Journal,l

A large number of the New York pastors
are very wealthy men. This is almost
always true of the Catholics, and has been
true of nearly ali the older pastors. DR..
Spring was very rich man, and in old age
married a very wealthy woman for a wife.
The elder Tying is millionaire. William
Adams has always been rich since he has
been in New York. DR.. Beveair, of Trinity
church, has an estate in litigation to-day.
large portion of the clergy are poor. Two
or three of the denomination are rich.
Nearly every successful doctor has o
fortune. 1t is the same with eminent
legal practitioners When tbs minister gets
poor, as be does at the last of his life, the
lawyer and the doctor become rich. When
he ouilvss his usefulness, as he does when
he becomes old, the lawyer becomes judge,
and the doctor professor. l asked an emf
nent physician, the other day, Why is this?
He replied: 1t results from the way we be-
gin. Nearly every practicing physician and
lawyer al the start Is poor. He has his fame
to get and his fortune to win. He spends
years in laying the foundation of his fame.
He studies economy and rigidiy looks out
for the coppers He isn't required to en-
terrain anybody, and nobody expects he
will maintain the style of a successful mer-
chant or rich lawyer. He travels little,
and earns his money before he spends it. A
minister takes his posi- ton at bound. The
younger he is the more popular he is. He
takes rank with lawyer and merchant
and doctor at the start He is flush in funds,
and imagines his bright day will always last.
The money that he should lay up for his
waning hours he spends in trips to Europe,
and visits the places of fashion and culture.
When the pastor has got to the summit and
looks down the western slope, he has spent
his money, just as the doctor and lawyer
have the foundations of their wealth laid
and fame and usefulness well secured.
There Is not profession In New York
in which it is 90 easy to lay up competence
for the future as the ministerial one. The
average pay is larger than any other pro
fession.

Use Plenty of Paint.

The farmer who keeps his house, barn,
and other outhouses, his house yard fences,
his wagons, the wood work and
unused iron work of his machines and
implements constantly covered with a coating
of good paint, saves great deal of money in
the long run. In fact. we know of no small
expenditure that pays as we'll. The work
of painting these things needs no very skill
full hand. Fancy colors on mowers and
reapers. plow beams, harrows, cultivators,
etc., are of no account. Good, durable
paints. ready mixed. can now be bought at
reasonable prices, and of every color. all
over the country. But any farmer can mix
his own paint, if he desires. Ground paint,
paint brushes, OIL and little turpentine as
a dryer. compose the whole outfit. Oil and
lampblack make black paint. A simple red
paint is made of red lead and oil.

An Extraordinary Scene in a Texas Court
Especial Dispatch to the Globe Democrat
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 20.-The grand jury of
Dent n county has indicted for murder in
Copp and John Ailor, for the murder of Mrs.
Horizons husband In June last.
An exciting scene occurred in the district
court at Bonham, yesterday. Judge Gaines
sentenced a number of prisoners, among
whom was j. M. Steele, convicted of assault
When his honor asked Steele If he had ary-
thing to say why sentence should not be
pronounced against him, Steele answered:
Yes; you forced me into trial unjustly,
when had no witnesses here. / am inno-
cent of the crime. | am a gentlemen; my
but what any other gentlemen would have
done under the circumstances" and, raising
his voice in high and insulting manner, he
continued, pointing at one of the conv1cts,
There is man who would have sworn that
he saw Fox (the man he attempted to muir
not let him testify; my nephew saw the
pistol, but you forced me into trial before l
could get him here"
Judge Gaines-I gave you a continuance
without any grounds before. You have had
plenty of time to prepare for trial, and what
you state is no reason why sentence should
not be pronounced against you.
Steele-Yes, sir. This is about like the
justice you have shown me all the way
through.
The Judge-Shut up.
Steele-You asked me if 1 had anything to
say, sir. and have right to talk, and I'm
going to do it.
The JUDGE didn't give you permission
to talk In that manner.
The Judge pronounced sentence against
him, and said: In all my experience as a
judge, nothing has ever given me so much
pleasure as sentencing you to the peniten.
tiary.
Steele-Yes. and I hope and pray the
curses of Heaven may descend upon you,
and that you will be sunk into the hottest
pits of hell, and I only hope that l will have
the pleasure of meeting you at some future
time.
The Judge ordered the sheriff to take him
out of the Court House, but he continued
his insulting language toward the court
until he was out OF hearing. Steele is a bad
man, one of the most dangerous and hard
ened criminals, perhaps, in the State.
