IN the case of Patti v. Pulitzer,
charging libel against the publisher of
the St. LOUIS Republican it was proven
that PATTI was drunk and the case was
dismissed. The evidence showed that
the sweet warbler, while behind the
scenes, ordered IS if drinks" and
when they were gotten up to the prop
er standard she pronounced them "oet-
ter" She took Scotch brandy and
whisky, and one bartender pro-
nounced those he fixed up for
her "bouncers." He testified that the
amount of fquor she drank during one
performance was enough to make him
or any ordinary man drunk, but since
Patti isn't an ordinary man the fellow
may have been vilifying her. The testi-
mony of two bartenders wss that in two
hours Patti drank two brandy toddies,
'the hottest and strongest that could
be made" and four whisky punches,
also "ss strong as they could be-" The
hackman, VINO took her from the
thester to her hotel, testified
that 1t required three or four
men to put her into the hack and as
many to get her out again. This chiv-
alrous fellow, who enjoys the title of
General, said that if Patti had been
any ordinary woman, he would state
positively that she was intoxicated.
The investigation was no credit to
Patti, and Pulitzer had no business
"pullin'" at her in this sort of q way.

IN regard to the Stalwart programme
to transfer the choice of the presiden-
tial electors from tae people to the
Legislatures, HarperS' Weekly has this
to say:
The legislature, under the consti-
tutional clause that we have quoted,
may with III questio Legality vest
the choicJ OF presidential electors in
the legislature. But such 70 the force
of the feeling which has grown up in
the country that the presidential vote
of the State should be popular and
not legislative one, that the party
which made the change in this
State would throw itself out of power
at the State election, and 30 srouse and
ALLEVIATE feeling in the doubtful States
next year as to insure their votes for
the opposing presidential candidate. Il
Is safe prophecy. that aDy kind of
gerrymandering which is intended to
battle, and not to secure, an honest ex-
preston of the popular will, however
legal, will prove TO be boomerang
which will return to plague the

instead of corruption. Tnat Texas
Democrats are not prepared to assist in
this grand undertaking with Mr.. Bly,

aud when Senator Coke or the Texas

POSTMASTER COCHRAN, of Dallas,
no relation of Hon. John 81. Cochran,
represents that he is at the head of the
hard money wing of the Republican
party in Texas, and that this and the
soft msney wing, headed by ex-GoY-
ernor Davis, have signed q truce, and
that a common labor for the good OF
the party is to be entered upon. He
says the Republicans of Texas are for
Grant, aud that an effort will
be made TO units every opposition
to Democracy; and if so, they may
count on securing the one or two chaps
at Washington, who say the Democra-
cy of Texas are ready also to support
him. The Galveston Neios is booked
as their own.

Hon. JOHN HANCOCK believes that
Mr.. Bayard should be the nominee OF
the Democratic party for the Presi-
dency. He is satisfied he would carry
New York and Ohio, and that he
would come nearer carrying Illinois
and Pennsylvania than any other man
mentioned for the position. As to the
question of q split IN the Democratic
party In Texas, Judge Hancock as
serts there Is no such probability, and
be thinks the nomination of Mr.. Bay
ard would do more towards increasing
its strength than any other prob
able act of the party. He be-
lieves Mr.. Bayard would not only
hold the party thoroughly united, but
that he would secure the support of al
most every German-American citizen
of Texas. He holds that this foreign
element wields balance of power in
the States that may control the presi-
dental election, and he is assured that
Mr.. Bsyard has more influence with
this element than any other Democrat
mentioned for the Presidency. He be-
lieves, as does the STATESMAN. that the
failure to nominats Mr.. Bayard would
be sad bluuder.

hostile to the innovation of q third
