1850 REPEATS ITSELF IN 1850.

Republican leaders have determined
that the ''Solid South" Is Indispensable
to Republican victory in 1880. and
therefore no leading orator of the Re-
publican party will participate in the
Louisisns campaign. 1t is not deemed
advisable to break the solidity of the
South. If this occurred the North
could net be held solidly compacted
against the South. But isn't it amaZ-
ing that Southern state smen, so-called,
have co-operated vigorously and ear
nestly with Garfield, Conkling and
Blaine in producing this unfortunate
condition of opinion North and South
when sections of the country rejsct
candidates and creeds simply because
these are accepted by another section
But 1t is no new thing in politics.
Northern abolitionists always served us
in the same way, and we fell intp the
trap and co-operated with Them ear
nestly and passionateiy, aud perfected
sectional;sm until it was dissolved in
tears and blood and in this painful
poverty that pcrvades the South, while
the North is enriched oy every force
and agency of an imperial government.
The brigsdiers are eminently proud
and hioh snirifed and natriotic an
chivslric but never practical. TheJ
have been again outwitted and the
South vicum;zsd, aud while these ar
rant &naves, the Radical party lead
ers, pretend to be par excellence de-
tenders and lovers of the Union, they
refuse to send expounders OF theil
creed into the South, fearing that theiI
party will be weakened in the NORTH
! by gaining strength in the South.
They declare that the North should
never suffer the rebeilious South tC
give the country president, and yei
they would not even seduce Louisians
from the rebellious combination o.
Southern States. They would ratheI
perpetuate sectionalism- There il

TEXAS suffers greatly becau of the
continued circulation of Mexican sll-
yer COINS, which arc at discount If
twenty-five and thirty per cent. Why
do not bankers ship these coirs
which the mint buys at high prices to
the mint at NV Ocle9n The director
of that institution says in his report
just published, that the silver bullion
purchased tor the NV o lcsns Mint
consisted principally of Mexican dol
lars and old plate. When The mint
was rcopcned for coinage it was ex
pected that considerable amount of
silver bullion would be- supplied from
Mexico, but 50 far these expectations
have not been realized. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the department has
offered to pay bankers and bullion
dealers in New Orleans the highest
market prices for silver desirable
at the mint in that city, only two or
three offers for the sele of silver have
been made to the department by them,
and in each case at a price above the
market rate. The mint has not been
workedto its full capacity, for the rea,
son that not little difficulty has been
experienced as at San Francisco and
Carson in procuring supplies of silver

THE POT BOILING.

The Panhandle locations, sure
enough, are creating stir in govern
ment quarters. It Is known that Gun
ter s. Muhson, OF Sherman, have had
large amount of territory on the
Canadian river covered in the style re-
ferred to in our editorial of yesterday,
and it Is said the lands will be re-
claimed by the State. The locations
having been made in known violation
of law, lesson should certainly be
given in this case, that will prevent
like occurrences in the future. Locations
having been made contrary to law,
they should be null and void and sub
ject in no degree to compromise.
These lands have been located, 1t is
said, partially at least, in the interest
of rich banking firm in a Northern
State, and it being only repetition of
disgraceful attacks upon the land in
terests of the State and its peo-
pie, the Governor and other State
officers are called upon to apply whole
some remedies, which should affect the
pockets of those who exercise these il
legal practices. The report of Col.
Norton has been made, and it has laid
the scheme bare in sll its deformity. A
consultation has been held between the
Governor, Attorney General and Com
missioner of the Land Office, and it
has been decided to have these enter
prising land grabbers appear at the
bar OF justice and at least deliver.
There has been rattling of old bones,
too, in the Land Office, two clerks
having yesterday received discharges
in consequence of allowing these re-
turns to be placed upon the records.
Let the work 60 on, and if there be
an Augesn stable turn the whole of
the river Euphrstes through it.

THE A,chison, Topeka Il Santa Fe
road, now designed to constitute part
and parcel of Huhting:on's California
aud Tt xas-so called-railwaY, has been
finished to Taos, not far from Santa
Fe. It's builders say they will extend
it to Guaymas or San Diego, but this
signifies nothing. Huntington is a
part owner of the road which extends
his California line to st. Louis, and
the South will be as thoroughly with
out PacIfc railway when this new
route is opened, as We are to-day, and
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will
never be extended beyond its point OF
intersection with Huntington's road.

MEMPHIS must be q dead town.
Thursdsy's cotton receipts aggregated

certainly making up for lost time. II
Its cesspools, the old and abandoned
and the new be drained and no more
be created, the city having underground
drainage, and the bayou be paved and

NEWSPAPERS of the Gulf States urge

NEWSPAPERS of the Gulf States urge
planters to subdivide their broad es-
tates into twenty and fifty acre lots
and sell to farmers on ten years' time
at seven per cent. interest. 1t is al
legged that these email farms will be
more carefully cultivated than the great
plantations, and thst the country will
be greatly enriched by population
that owns the realty. II there were
never a school or church in Texas the
homestead law, with the progress of
years, would produce good AID law
abiding citizens.

NOT A FARMER.

The Teras ColIegian, conducted by
the students of the so-called Agricul-
tuna aud Mechanical College, deYotes
personal column to the alumni of the
institution. Oae is keeping books in
Houston, two others ere looking for
soft PLACES at the NJ j4da MINIS, two
are telegraph operators at WIco and
Bremood, one is grocery clerk in Gal
VISION, one a SELLER in the Safe SER
vice, one is teaching school at Frei's-
burg, another ls serving the Gulf, Col
orsdo and Santa F. Railroad Company
tt K chmand, and all the Iest are max
iHg lawyers of themselves. This is
the r, cord Uf the alumni of the college
It B yaD, which was established on
money gwen by the Federal govern
ment with the txpress condition that
it should be conducted In tie
prom stion OF agriculture and the
mechanical arts. Not one of the
alumni pursues a business at all
in harmony with the purposes
for which this Institution was estab-
iished. Nine of the young gentlemen
who have left this institution are re-
ported as engaging In other business
than the law. aud not one is told OF
that becomes invaluable to commu-
nifty In analyzing soils and instructipg
farmers as to the best crops to be pro
duced from them. Not an educated
farmer, not an educated artisan, and
yet the S ate eccepted and used vast
sum OF money, given that just such
educated men should be turned out
from this institution. The trouble
is that this college has been in
the bands of the politicians, and
the politicians always want the
masses poorly educated. Hence 1t is
that this miserable free school system
has been established, that the masses
may skim along upon it while the pol
iticians and learned may have their
sons prepared at public expense at
Bryan for learned and soft positions.
Unless the matter be taken in hand, by
the next Legislature, and this so called
Agricultural and Mechanical College
be made one in reality, its existence
should not be tolerated. Texas as
magnificent domain, covering a terri
tory where the scientific sgriculturist
may make two blades of grass
grow where now grows one; where
scientific production could make
enough cotton TO supply the
world; where cheap bread for the
starving millions can be grown; and
it was to promote such ends as these
that the government gave, and it ID to
defeat such ends as these that the poll
ticians have made out of this grand
munificence farce. Until the change
ia made we NAV eyn meet nnthino hnt
disgraceful conclusions, such as this
one just developed. The State should
act honestly and the result will be diff
ferent, but to do this board of trus-
tees must be created who will at least
discharge their duty conscientiously.

TIE Galveston NeaOs touching the
removal of faculty of the Agricultural
ami Mechanical College says:
1t is sn old story, but it renews its
youth like the esglp. There were two
professional rocsiers IN enc baru-yards
They had soft thing OF It, to use the
language of popular parlance. They
got their meals regularly, 'ni had
everything that was necessary to make
sensible roosters happy. But, unfoT-
tunateIy, they were very positive roos-
ters, and were evellastingly quarrel
ing, setting bad example to the younf
roosters that were to look to them for
guidance and inspiration. F.pai y they
became so cmbittered in mutual an
mostly that they did nothing but crow
over and pick at each other, even to
the extent of neglecting their barr-3ard
duties. At last one of the hostile roos-
ters hunted up an old fox, that lived
over at Austin, and told him what q
bad rooster his opponet was, always
fighting and neglecting his barn-yard
duties. "Ah," remarked the old fox,
81 must go over in person and hold an
investigation. He did so. The re-
suit of 1t was that very soon the hostile
roosters and their respective hackers
were Topping about the barn-yard with
their heads off, while prominent Au:-
tin rooster was perched on the fence
warbling cock -doodle-dool Moral
No matter how much man may know,
it will never be to his disadvantage 10
renew his acquaintance with E 'oP's
fables.

HAYES will propose 10 check the
coinage of silver. He will descant up
on civil service reform and possibly
suggest the purchase by the govern
ment of the telegraph lines. II thus
seems that the brigadiers aud stalwarts
will have subjects enough to quarrel
about next month, and after all we
may get rid of the solid South and
Eliza Pinkston and Chisholm as the
grand issues In Federal politics. But

THE friends of the Northern PIcific
road intend pushing the bill granting
an extension of time for the compile
ton of the road. They claim that 9
large majority vote was shown for the
bill at the last Congress and that there
will be no trouble in getting it through
