A New York correspondent says of
the Texas Legislature: The clerk
seemed to me to run the machine, as
he has a good deal to say at differ
ent times. One thing in particular
amused me he was calling the roll,
and not liking the way the members
answered, or failed to answer, as they
lay back sprawling, with their feet
on the desk, he cried out: "You fell

REy. James M. Pullman, of New
York, said in 8 recent sermon on
"Matrimony," that the theory that a
reformed sinner would make a better
husband than a man who had not
needed reformation was one that had
been upheld by preachers, lecturers
and writer's but he was not afraid
to brand the theory as lie--a lie
from top to bottom, from circumfer-
ence to centre.

The Gainesville Eagle is the last
to let fly few sharp pointed and
well-timed arrows at bores aud dead
beats who are always to be found
wherever a newspaper is published.
The following is to the point, and
we move it's unanimous adoption by
the press of the country:
There is not perhaps in the whole
range Of business professions or calls
ings, one that is 80 little understood,
and about which there are as many
erroneous ideas as that of the con-
duct, privileges, purposes and rights
of q newspaper. From it people ex-
pect more, and propose to pay less
than they would dare to ask from
any other business in the world.
A great many very good people
seem to forget that newspapers are
busineess enterprises. They ignore
the fact that newspaper man is.
flesh and blood, and that lie must eat,
drink, wear, live, move and have
being as any other human biped.
They seem TO forget that he has like.
passions, like necessities, like cares,
troubles and anxieties with other
men. Hence, when he differs with,
them, when he expresses an opinion,
in opposition to their own, with
warmth and vigor, they are ready to
denounce him, and seem as much as
tonished 90 If an angel had flown
down from the outposts of heaven.

browse in the vernal pastures of pure
wisdom, ond see everything as eve
rybody else sees it, and reconcile the.
vast differences of opinion Of imperi-
GUS thousands.
But it is not in this alone that the.
world mistakes Us. Very many, very
good people, good honest souls, who.
would never, think OF asking their.
grocer TO give them Dimes worth OF
cheese, will ask newspaper man to.
sacrifice hia space pay his printers
to set ap the type, and wear ont his

expect him to acquiesce as matter
of course. It is astonishing hew
many people have axes to grind

There are two or three things

is that editors are human. They are

Think, that newspaper does not be-

owners and conductors, and that it
cannot be made sluicebox through

The Orangeburg democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1879-1881, 1879-05-23

The Democrats organized the pre-
sent popular branch of Congress by
four majority. Recently, on q dis
tinct partizan issue made by the
President with Congress on the ques-
ton of military interfarenps with
elections, the House gave thirty ma
jority in favo: of the bill over the
veto. 1t is worthy of note that all
shades of political opinion not under
the whip Of the stalwart sectionalists
are against the disturbing Issue the
President has wantonly forced upon
the country.

vanced with the shackles, and seeing
that the prisoner had one foot upon
the chair near his bedside, his righ,
hand resting on the back of it, the
brawny mechanic made an attempt tc
slip one of the sbackles over the an.
kle SO raised; but, as if with the We
hemence and strength which frenzy
can impart, even to the weakest inya-
lid, Mr.. Davis suddenly seized his
assailant and hurled him half way
across the room.
On this, Capt. Titlqw turned and,
seeing that Davis had backed against
the wall for further resistance, began
to demonstrate, pointing out in brief,
clear language, that this course was
madness, and that orders must be
enforced at any cost. "Why compel
me-" he added, "to add the further
indignity of personal violence to the
necessity Of your being ironcd?"
81 am a prisoner of war;" fiercely
retorted Davis; I have been n soldier
in. the armies Of America and know
how to die. Only kill me, and my
last breath shall be blessing on
your head. But while have life and
strength to resist, for myself and my
people, this thing shall not be DONE"
Hereupon Capt. Titlow called in q
sergeant qnd file Of soldiers from the
next room, and the sergeant advanced
to seize the prisoner. Immediately
Mr.. Davis flew on him, seized his
musket and attempted to wrench it
from his grasp.
OF course such scene could have
but one issue. There was a short,
passionate scuflie. In moment Mr..
Davis was flung upon his bed, and
before his four powerful assailants re-
moved their hands from him, the
blacksmith and his assistant had doEe
their work-one securing the rivet on
the right ankle, while the other turn
ed the key in the paddock on the left.
This done, Mr.. Davis lay for a mo-
ment as if in stupor. Then slowly
raising himself and turning round, he
dropped his shacklcd feet to the floor.
The harsh clank of the striking chains
seems first to have-recalled him to
his situation, and dropping his face
into his hands, lie burst into o pas
sionate flood Of sobbing, rocking to
and fro, and muttering at brief in ter
walls: ooh, the shame, the shame !''
1t may here be stated, though out
of its due order-that we may get
rid of an unpleasant subject that
Mr.. Davis, some months later, when
frequent visits had made him more
free TO converse, gave ne y c::rioas
explanation of the last feature in this
incident.
He had been speaking of suicide,
and denounced it as the worst form
of ccwadicc and folly. "Life is not

TheaTrue Way To Invisorate.

The tg4e way to invigorate d feeble sys-
tenn is to infuse activity into the operations
of the stomach, that wOndrOus alembic in
which the food is transmitted into the con-
st%ituents of blood, the chief element Of our
vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bit ers, be.
cause it a%ccQmplishes this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many so called tonics.
useful indeed as appetizers, but inopera
tive AS aids to digestion and assimilatian.
This sterling cordial. while it invigorates
the stomach, beautifully stimulates the
liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the es-
cape through the regular channels of eff
tete and useless matter thrown of by the
svstrm, which is thus purified as well as
invigorated by it. Its tonic influence IS
soon made manifest b., an increase of vital
energy and a more active and regular dis
charge OF every physical junction, and it
has the further effect of rendering the sys-
sem unassailable by malarial epidemics.

the laws of Texas grant Il contin
