BE nERcrruL TO THEN.


These Southern men, who were
employed by the Republican party
to go North and abuse the people,
among whom they have lived and
reared families. after paying their
respects to President-elect Garfield,
are at their Southern homes, attend
ing to their usual vOcations. Some
of these men have lived with us for
near half a century: others were
born and reared in our midst. They
have been honored by Southern peo-
pie, and have held high places of
public trust, given by white people
of the South. They have been re-
spected in the states and commune
ties in which they have lived; have
been favored and nourished, and
some of them have grown rich out
of the good offices and considera-
ton of these people. The names of
some of these men belong to the
political history of these states,
whose people have recognized
them as worthy of confidence, and
who have made them the most
favored of citizens. Every living
association of some of these men be-
longs to the South, and they have
been and their families are honorcd
members of our society. Yet such
men were lately employed TO go
from amidst us to Willy these peo-
pie, to tell that they are semi-bar-
barians, that they are thieves and
murderers. and that their acts are
the embodiment of falsehood; that
Southern men and women are I'M
worthy, because of their immOrali-
ties, to be accorded the rights of
American citizens: that they are
branch of the AnglO-SaXon race de-
void of honor and of sincerity;
that they have descended to level
far beneath the representative
of the African race, that were
not long ago their slaves;
among whom a Republican lives
in fear and trembling. antici-
pating each day assassination
because of political belief. Such
tales have been told over the North
by Southern men to suit morbid
public taste, to carry out the pro-
gramme of men who shape public
sentiment there, and who are able TO
expend tens of millions that they
may be profited hundreds of mil
lions. They joined in cru
SADIE against the South, in which the
degradation of its people and their
impoverishment may be accom-
plished, that the favored classes of
the North may be made rich; have
given endorsement as Southern men
to base falsehood, that thrift may
follow fawning; have degraded in
the public mind these people, from
whom they have accepted so much,
that they may enjoy vile official pre-
ferment. The character of Judas is
not more despicable than that of
these men, who serve the Devil and |
betray their kindred and lifetime
that they may wear the liv-
cry of Garfield and be known as his
subservient minions. Had they
shame they would hide themselves
from us. Had they honesty they |
would not again be in our midst.
but would remain where they might |
feel assured not every ones glances
were being directed towards them
as the embodiment of that which is |
the basest of all human passions.

New YORK, as every state should
do, gives its Supreme Court judges
life time tenure during good be-
havior. AT the late election a con-
stitutional amendment was voted on
allowing them TO retire at seventy
on full pay. The question of PEN
sioning civil officers has been fire.
quently discussed in this country,
and therefore the expression of the
people of the state of New York on
the subject Will be of great interest,
as it will indicate, to some extent,
how the proposal is regarded by
voters and taxpayers. One of the
arguments against the proposition
I is that. if adopted,with regard to one
class of civil officers, it will induce
those of all other classes to set to
work to accomplish equally as lib
eral provision for themselves. The
principle should apply alone to life
time tenures, as in the case of the
judiciary.

The Pod says: lin recent talk
with Gen. g. b. Robertson, OF Waco,
we detected a tone OF regret that he
had not entered for the governors

pointed that he did not give our

BRAINLESS LEADERS.

Evidently we owe to Democratic
leaders, these fellows at the North
who use the South and reap the
benefit of all its political power, the
defeat with which we have just been
overtaken. Blindly we have follow
ed Randall and Wallace and Hew-
EFT and Tilden and Barnum and
these other fellows until but the
shadow of a great political organi-
cation exists. The Southern people,
with the exception of some ofthe
leaders, have been allied to princi-
pie, but when these men have die
tated policy these Southern people
have allowed themselves TO be led
like sheep into the shambles until
the political power Of the Southern
states is nothing. An indignant
Southern Democrat is credited with
saying:
If L had my way would cast the
1873 electoral votes of the South for
Garfield and make the thing unani-
nous. Our alliance with the North
ern Democrats gives them all the
ha'-pence and we get all the kicks.
We have done all we promised polit-
ically, but our Northern party asso-
ciates have sold us out or betrayed
us. The Northern Democrats al
ways consult their interests, and
am in favor now of the South con-
sulting hers.
We would by no means go so far
as the gentleman advises. but we
would certainly place the South
hereafter in an independent attitude
towards these Northern Democrats.
who use and then repudiate us, in
all of which they have beer aided
by set of men assuming to be lead
ers, who, like that delegate to the
Dallas convention, can pull his
shirt off without unbuttoning the
collar.

UNDER the law, the returns for
presidential electors must be made
TO the county judge within three
days, and the judge must within
four days certify the same to the
secretary of state. The returns for
county ,districtand state officers must
not be opened until after the lapse
of ten days. In BeXar county, for
several of the precincts, returns were
made all together, and this will
cause the rejection of the electoral
vote in such precincts.

granted the use of a military escort

but it was not complied with by
Gen. Grierson, whose military con-
duct on the frontier was severely
criticised by Gen. Byrne just before
his death. Mrs. B. has complained,
and Gen. Ord issues a peremptory
order.

A CURIOUS genius at Dallas was
looking for the leader of the T.

said il could be demonstrated that
at least one mans shirt could be
pulled over his head without unbut-

JUDGE TURNER is a candidate for
the place made vacant by the death,
of Judge Duval. This is said to ac-
count for his contemplated resigna-
ton of the district judgcship, it be-
ing his desire to present his claims
a. Washington before the meeting of
Congress in December. Since a Re-
publican must have this place, we
would be pleased if Judge Turner
secure it. He is a jurist of undoubt-
ed ability, and has long had the
confidence of the people, which has
been shown by his repeated election
to the district judgeship. Demo-
Gratis as well Is Republicans have
voted for him.

JUDGE TURNER is about to hand
in his resignation as district judd ge
and his place will have to be filed
by appointment for the remainder
of the term. AS it is reasonable 20
suppose that Judge a. S. Walker
has work upon which he is engaged
as one of the commissioners of APP
peal, which cannot be iTnmedi-
ately suspended without detriment
to litigants, it is probable he may
wish to remain at Tyler until this
work is disposed of. This is the
reasonable view of the case, and
hence the place vacated by Judge
Turner will have to be temporarily
filled by some other man than
Judge Walker, to whom the special
appointment for an unexpired term
would belong by courtesy.

The census in tEae South.

So far as the census returns have been
hurriedly reviewed, the showing for the
south is more favorable than had been
anticipated. North Carolina figures
out a total of ] 1882 600, against l,07l 1861
ten years ago. south Carolina has not
increased any, nor has she lost, while
Florida has gained ut least 90 per cent.
Georgia shows & steady gain during the
past ten years, especially in her cities.
Missouri has gained, since 1870, 2l5,525
in forty-three counties, and counts upon
a total population of 1876 geo, an in
crease for the state OF 1850 over the
last census. In Tennessee the increase
ranges from per cent. in some locali-
ties to l02 in others. Kentucky eSti-
mates her population from the returns
from "a counties at a total of l,734, 1881
against l,32l OH in 1870, gain of over
100000. West Virginia reports an aV-
erage increase of 60 per cent. Arkansas
has a total OF 700, 900, a growth of over
so per cent. Louisiana is shown by re-
turns from eleyen parishes scattered
over the state TO have increased ~ per

Won RelieveIt2

WoMAN's BEST FRIEND.-To relieve
the aching heart of woman and bring
joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is a
mission before which the smiles of
kings dwindle into utter insigniiicance.
To do this is the peculiar province of
DR.. j. Bradfield's Female Regulator !;
which from the numberless cures it has
accomplished, is appropriately styled
Woman's Best Friend. The distressing
complaint known as the ''whites," and
the various Irregularities OF the womb,
to which woman is subject, disappear
like magic before a single bottle of 5his
wonderful compound. 1t is prepared
by Dr. =. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga, and
sold at $3.50 per bottle by respectable
drug men everywhere. Physicians
prescribe it. Its action is prompt, sure
and decisive.
