WHAT GIN TLIEY Dol

When man gets angry with q newspaper
and undertakes to "hurl back y something
that it has stated, he begins with the lofty re-
mark my attention has been called to an
article in your paper" etc. etc. Having thus
CALLED the editor 10y intimating that he does
not condescend to notice the offending journal
unless his eyes are directed to it as it were by
violence Though in reality he reads it every
day. he proceeds to vent his wrath. The
gentleman who calls himself the Fusion
ist Governor of Maine has been initiating
the exasperated letter-writeIs. After ensting
troops and making other preparations for an
instruction, he sits down to compose an
eplstle to his fellow citizens. and he begins
with the usual formula My attention has
"been called to the repeated assembling of
EARNED bodies of men and military companies
cat the capital of the State, causing un-
" necessary excitement and disturbing the
"public peace" We are asked to understand
that Mr.. Smith was entirely unDTepared for
Governor Daviss disturbance of the public
peace. He had so little expectation Of any
forcible resistance to bis claims that he was
shocked and astOunded when his atten-
ton was called TO the fact that there were
men with guns standing around in the streets
and at the State House. The surprising cir
cumstance having been brought to his notice.
he hurls back with great energy the implied
charge that he has meditated disorder or done
anything to require the presence of Gatling
gun and he asks the people if they are going
to stand the expense of this sort of military
show.
Probably they will not have to stand it

Yesterdays vote in the House upon Mr..
Kelley's resolution is believed to be fatal to
the plans of NJ Leon Chotteau and other adj
vocates of proposed commercial treaties. The
resolution declared that the negotiation by
the President of commercial treaty fixing
rates of duties would be an invasion of the
highest prerogatve of the House of Repre-
yentatives, and was adopted by more than a
two-thrrds vote.

q that the opposition to the bill came from SEN
ators representing States in which money was
made out of Indian wars there was some re-
sentiment shown, and the bill was voted back
into the hands of the Judiciary Committee.

The Houston Telegram of
last Sunday contains the fol-
lowing account OF the accident
by which Mr.. James Parks,
formerly of this city, lost his
life:
The down train on the Texas
Western railroad, when just this
side of Pattison, on Friday, met
with quite a serious accident.
The passenger coach jumped
the track on a down grade; a
passenger named Parks, in jump
ing from the coach, was killed
by jumping out on the wrong
side. Had he remained in the
car orjnmped the other way he
would have escaped unhurt, as
did the other. He was warned
by the conductor not to Jump,
but disregarded the warning. A
coroner's inquest, composed of
Justice Dickson, coroner; H.
kenneke, c. Aeson, Postmaster
Bemis, w. Jones Brother, rem
dered a verdict in accordance
with the facts above stated, and
exonerated the railroad officials
from all blame. The unfortu-
nate man is supposed, by letters
found on his person, to have
relatives living near Or at Hemp
stead.

The italian murderer Pietro
Balbo, who was hung in New
York few days ago for the
murder of his wife, was at once
exalted into a hero. After the
hanging the body was turned
over to his friends. The funer-
al was attend by a number Of
Italian societies; there was nine
teen carriages in the procession
and the hearse and coffin were
decorated with flowers. The
Wilmington Every Evening
thinks such exhibitions are dis
graceful and calculated to rob
the gallows Of their terror. 1t
suggests that the bodies of muir
derers be turned over to the
doctors for dissection. 1t also
thinks that a little less religious
parade at hangings would be
better; there is no objection to
bringing the condemned to re-
pentence and salvation, but the
results should be kept quiet.
The effect would be better on
criminally-inclined if they be-
lieved.. the murderer was not
only dead but damned.

American Newspaper Directory
for 1880 is received. The hood
is all that is claimed for it being
a complete list of all the news

ada. Messrs. Rowell & Co.,
seem to have spared neither
trouble nor expense in getting
out their directory. 1t is a
handsomely printed book Of
nearly 1000 pages, but the
advertisements of some of the
country papers show that the
editors and proprietors of the
same arc nearly as accomplish
cd in the art of lying as was
baron Munchausen himself.

they are charged: Eugene
GIasscock, theft Of cattle; Jessie
Ballard, theft Of horse and Fleteh

held for a Frio county murder.
Sheriff Brown offers SIS reward
for the arrest of each of them.
The Houston Telegram has
information that a horrible muir
der was committed at Thomas
Shows store ten miles north Of
Cold Springs, San Jacinto coun-
ty. Mr.. Murrow, a young man
clerking in the store was shot
with a pistol IN the face and in
the breast with shot gun. It
seems that parties had entered
the store and demanded that
the safe be opened, and upon
his refusal to do SO they murder
ed him. Up to Thursday no
arrests had been made, though
certain parties are suspected.
"A special to the Calves

The Dallas Times, one of
governor Roberts organs-hc
has two more says that no
person should labor under the
delusion that the independent
movement amounts to nothing.
1t says the independent element
is to be thoroughly organized;
that executive committees are
to be formed and the canvass
proceeded with all the ability
which can be thrown into it by
money, greenbackers and rail-
readers. 1t seems to US that
much will depend upon the ac-
ton of the republican state ex-
ecutive committee. If the re-
publicans, greenbackers and
sore-heads all unite formula
BILE opposition would be the re-
suit.

Cooks Point, BurIeson county,
last week, Hon. w. K. Homan
made a rejoinder from a green
back standpoint. Homan ar
CUES that the hands ofthe DEM
ocratic congressman are tied by
the bondholders, and that the
only relief the county can ex-
pect is from the greenback par
ty, but it may be remarked that
from present appearances the
county is doomed to suffer on
as the democratic and republi-
can parties are now in the ma
| jority. Mr.. Homan will have to
make a better argument before
he makes any Roadway against
Shepard.
The burden of the green
hackers song is the "bondhold-
ers, in making a speech or in
writing a political article he
starts off with the bondholders
and closes with the bondhold-
ers. In a greenback speech of
the day, the bondholder plays
the same part that the devil
| does in some OF the othodox
sermons of the early part of the
country. There is probably
not a greenbacker in all the I'm
ted States who would not be
hondholder had he any surplus
means to invest; their chief OBJ
lection to bonds is their inabili-
ty to own any ofthem. Under
our laws every man has the
right to acquire property and
having acquired it he has the
right to do with it as he may
deem best-money is property
and those having surplus money
can invest it in bonds or in any
thing else if they so please and
violate no law OF the land.
According to the theory of
some OF the greenbackers the
owing of a bond is crime, yet
without bonds railroads can not
be built, orgovernments be car
ried on. The government Of
the United States has issued |
bonds in good faith; the govern
ment is bound to pay the bonds
according to contract-to do
otherwise would be reputation. |
The greenbackers complain
that the taxation exacted by |
the government to pay the in
terest on the bonds is both bur-
densome and Oppressive to the
people. The government col
lects no direct taxes, its revenue
is derived from import duties
internal revenue tax, the tax on
spirits, beer and tobacco, in its
different forms, yielding the
largest part of the revenue.
Those who use neither spirits,
beer or tobacco pay no tax to
the government on such ar
ticles. The tax and duty is
paid by consumers IN proper
ton to the quality of the ar
ticles consumed, consequently
the poorer the men the less his
proportion ofthe tax. Its state
county and municipal taxation
that the average tax payer feels,
as the money to pay these taxes
comes directly out of the peck
ct. If the greenbackers would
do something towards electing
better local officers they might
accomplish something towards
a reduction of the taxation
about which they have so much
to say. They are long way
from the bondholder.
