Crine North and SOufh.

The Galveston journal devotes column
and halfto crime north and south, in which
large number of revolving crimes in the
north are shown up. Comparisons are obi
Gus. We believe that in proportion that
there Is more crime in the north than there is
in the south-crimes that are more dNstardly
and revolving. The difficulty heretofore has
been that certain papers of large circulation
in the north have for years made specially
of collecting the minutest particulars of every
crime committed south of Mason and Dixon's
line, and writing them up in the highest
style of the art reportorial; by this means
crimes in the south are not unfrequently
grossly exaggerated and made to appear ten
fold worse than toy really are. In the
northern States when crime is commit ed
it is rarely written up outside Of the locality
where it occurs, unless it be one of special
enormity. If one will take the trouble to
examine the illustrated police gazettcs, which
make specialties of illustrating all tho muir.
ders of which they can hear or learn, he will
find that by far the larger portion Of them
are committed in the northern states, par
ticularly is this tho case in regard to crimes
against women-that of wife murder heading
the list.

STATE PRESS REVIEW,
Uncle pans Great Chance


Uncle Dams experience of Democratic
journalism in Houston has been rather SAD
one, we should think. He has labored with
devotion for years. HG has stuck to his par
ty under all circumstances, whether right or
wrong, and held up every Democratic can
didate, little and BIG, us hero. Not line
of independent thought has ever appeared IN
his journal, He has always been ready and
eager TO wash the dirty linen OF the Demo
cratic cliques and rings. NO metter now

nnched. He put 1t In the wnsh-luo ana
went scrubbing away with all the grace OF q
veteran wash-woman. No matter how inlol'
cradle to others the odor rising from the
dirty linen, Uncle Dan smelled only sweet

was so dear and devoted and loveable mn old
wash-woman as our good old friend, Uncle
Dan. Time and time again, MS we have
gazed upon him in his labors Mt the wash
tub, we have in spite of our naturally lard
heart, dropped sympathetic tear. And
now what has been his reward for all this de-
voton and labor in dirty linenY What have

condition that it is liable Mt any moment to

poor that he could not get new one. lilo Is,
therefore. liable Mt any moment to be set TO-

to enjoy even the poor privilege of washing

He canvassed Alabama, and then told the
people that Alabama would 90 for the
Greenback party by a large majority. In his
canvass through that state he invariably
abused the Democrats and took sides with
the Republicans, and, indeed, to such an ex-
tent as to raise the suspicion that he was not
a candidate in the real interest of tho Green
back party, but that he had been salaried by
the Republicans TO go south and to endeavor
to disintegrate, as far as possible, the Demo.
cratic party, in order to secure southern
state or two to the Republicans. He thought
that no had accomplished this in Alabama,

effort was made by the accused ~ rebut the
evidence of both the witnesses by the intro
duction of Albert Baldwin, John Dearborn,
and Alonzo Bates, all frequenters of Will
liams saloon, who swore that they were pres
ent on the day in question, saw Colby and
Dean there, and heard Williams declare to
them that they could get no liquor of him ex-

impeach the character Of C4i'v fnr truth.
