Cincinnati convention on the 22nd of
June, on account of hissupposed anti
Tilden sentiments, we would like to
know whether these gentlemen or this
gentleman, as the case may be, ex-
pect any further party service at his
hands in future. The idea seems to
be that he is to be punished for some
editorials that he or Colonel Galloway,
the senior editor, wrote for the Appeal.
In other words, that he is ineligible
to a position Of honor in the party
but quite eligible to do the drudgery
Of the party. This seems to be the
logic Of those who have taken up the
cudgel and planted themselves be-
tween the Appeal Office and Cincin-
natl. But we remind them now that
Keating has a good-sized foot, and if
he should happen to step on any of
their toes as he goes out of town they
will need corn doctor, and need him

I wish for the people of Texas, as
[ do for the entire south, that they
may go on developing their resources,
and become great and powerful in
their prosperity. Forget that there is
boundary between the north and the
south. Prolonged cheers. l am
sure we will all be happier and much
more prosperous when the day comes
that there will be no sectional feeling.
Let any American who can trayel
abroad as | have done, and with the
same opportunities of seeing what
there is to be seen that | have had,
and he will return to America a better
citizen than he was when he went
away. Loud cheers. He will re-
turn more in love with his own
country.
These are worthy sentiments tC
come from any man, and we of the

great soldier who uttered them OF

are few persons north or south wh'

test upon a national idea which no
longer exists. The temptation to
shoot again through the same hole
they made, and won the prize in
making, at the last election, is too
strong. There is nothing more com
mon in politics than the desire to do
the same thing over again. which was
successfully done at former period
II is very hard for the analogy poll
tieians TO learn that the same thing is
rarely ever done over again. They
never take into account that the cir
cumstances Of the two canvasses are
rarely so nearly the same that the
same plan will produce the same
result. The desire among a class Of
shallow reasoners to repeat the past
and to find an analogy between the
affairs Of to-day and those Of yes
ter day, is exceedingly strong. Wehave
seen several times the desire expressed
to accomplish with Mr.. Tilden the
result Andrew Jackson achieved in
his first successful race, when there
was an impression that he ought to
have been elected in his first race.
They forget that there is no analogy
between the times and less between
the men. The sole point of analogy
is an appearance only. The man who
was elected was not seated, was de-
frauded out of his seat, and here the
analogy ends. Reasoning from anal
ory is the most defective of all kinds
Of reasoning, in politics, as everywhere
else. 1t is conclusive, if all the cir
cumstances and facts are Identical
but that is so seldom the case that it
is almost never the case. 1t is for
this reason that the leadership of old
politicians is so defective and so often
misleads. Fortunately, political con
troll is usually exercised by those who
deal in principles, and apply the prin-
ciples to facts for the present, with
very little regard for the analogies
whice may appear on the surface.

have done more than anything else to
frustrate the designs of capital
movers. The matter of planked shad
is something historical. Daniel Web
ster was an artist in this line, and
prided himself greatly on his talents.
His only rival was an aged slave, a
character on the river, called Sam.
There were those who declared that
Sam was the only one who knew how
to cook planked shad, and others pro.
tested that the great statesman was
supreme. On sunny spring days.
when parties Of gentlemen went down
the river to recreate and rustieate. to
spin yarns and watch the fish, nailed
to their board, sizzling and browning
before the blaze of an outdoor fire, it
was arranged TO have a contest, a
trial for the championship, between
old Sam and Mr.. Webster.
Either contestant was well backed;
the lights of those early political days
we're all there. First Sam split the
shad, seasoned them as he knew would
most nearly suit Mr.. Websters taste,
and laid them before the orator done
to turn. Really, Sam, this is the
best planked shad | have ever eaten,
quoth Daniel, and applause rang from
SANS adherents. Next Webster laid
aside his toga and hovered around the
fire, knife and salt box in hand, watch
ing the shad that he had prepared in
| the way he knew would best suit
Sans taste. Sam ate three mouths
full rapturously and exclaimed, Fore

The colored cadet Whitaker, at
West Point, has been treated badly by
somebody, and it is suspected that he
committed the outrage himself to ex-
cite pity and to provide an excuse for
an anticipated failure at the coming
examination. General Schofeld, the
commandant, states positively that
none Of the other cadets committed
the assault. Whitaker was found in
his room somewhat used up and tied
up. One ear was trimmed off at the
bottom and the other had small slit
in it. The most plausible conjecture
is that he wanted to get to the hospi-
tai, escape examination and obtain
another years grace. Lieutenant
Flipper, who graduated at West Point
year or two ago with fair credit, was
rather bright, intelligent negro, but
this fellow is represented to be very
slow and stupid.
