For the Things.

IL must be gratifying TO every 0sohnian who
has spark Of pride in his breaststo mark the
public sentiment in regard to making . parGIae
over tho ex-President II was q wise stroke Of
policy in his managers to let him see as little
South Carolina as possible. They knew but too,
we'll that time had not healed the wounds he
had inflicted upon the State. If Grant had been
in power Hampton would never have been Gov
ernor-the ''Tallaee House" would have been
marched out between fixed bayonets, as his hire
lings did in Louisiana, and the horde of hungry
carpet baggers which had grown fat and saucy
| upon the spois would have been fastened upon
us for another struggle. II is very mortifying
to know that the Mayor of Columbia, above ali
other places, should have offered him the free
dom of city wherein he kept his hijfmid6ns
garrisoned to protect the robbers and dsurpcrs.
1t is all bosh to talk about the respect due 10
him as ex-Prcsdent or an ex-Geueral. In
either capacity he was no friend Of ours, and
as private citizen he deserved nothing but to
be allowed to pass unuoticeds
He gave us his exact measurement when hG
went to Beaufort and embraced the "wards oe
the Nation" But General Grant had no figlS
to expect courtesy from any Southern people
when he had as part Of his family that misc
| creant, Phil. Sheridan that fellow who burned
| out the Valley Of Virginia, who denounced the
Lousianians as Banditti and asked the Presi-
| dent (Grant) only to give him leave to make
short work of them who murdered the poor
Phoebe Indians.
But Augusta-didnt it go wild over Grant?
They have way Of their own in Georgia.
There is no accounting for the somersaults of q
people who follow such leaders as Toombs and
Stephens. The big men and little men in Geor-
gin always have axes to grind and keep thei r
eyes wide open. 1t is very independent State
in more ways than one. But the Grant boom
seems TO be rather drying up. Blaine and Conk-
ling, Sherman and half n dozen other smaller
fry, arc hoping that q dark horse may yet come
upon the track, WHO KNOWS?

The Ex-Empress Eugenie.

Tragedies seldom crowd on one per-
son so thickly as they have done on Eu-
genie. The World sums it up thus:
The pathos Of the ex, Empress Euge-
MES return recently to the Paris from
which she fled only nine years ago,
must arrest the attention of the most
thoughtless. Into those nine short
years what events have been crowded
A dynasty overthrown, a great people
humiiated, the face of Europe changed.
But the personal tragedy Of this lone
woman's shattered life claims its prece-
dence for the day with an eloquence
not easily resisted. In November, 1869,
Eugenie, Empress Of the French, was
the most conspicu us, the most admired,
and in many ways the most influential
woman alive She ruled France through
her husband and the civilized world
through iis fashions. Still young
woman comparatively, she looked for
ward through the future of her son, a
bright, affectionate and devoted lad Of
thirteen, to long life of splendor and Of
power in the capital Of continental HUI
rope. In November, 1879, dethroned,
exiled, widowed and childless, bowed
and broken with her weight of SORROWS,
Eugenie, ex-Empress of the French,
passes by permission of hostile govern
ment through Paris to reach the bedside
of the last relative left-her on earth, just
too late to close her dying mothers eyes,

The query naturally is, how did those tab
lets come to be buried near Browder Springs.
That they had hin in the earth there for CEN
turtles there can be no question. The
earth above them was the gradual, slow for
nations of long, long years. Dynasties and
empires passed away and generation after
generation was called to their final account
during the years they have lain there.
Ethnoogicaly the Phnnicans were Arabs,
or connected with the Arabian family.
Nemadc in nature they were disposed to
roam over the face of the world, and we can
readily believe that they found their way to
America wandering through the wilds of
Asia the SHOWS of Siberia and across Behring's
Strait, either in boats improvised for the
purpose or perhaps upon the ice, to the
| American continent. Once on this continent
they could, without much difficulty, reach
this portion of it. They were dark in color
as our Indians are, AMI it may be that the
American Indian is descended from this peo-
pie. The Phmnicians, we know, made the
first alphabet and originated mathematics
We know, too, that they were skill
full workers in gold and silver,
iron and brass and that the products of their
looms were priced over the then known
world. They were proficient in letters, arts
and the sciences. Hiram, King of Phgnics,
sent to Solomon when he was building the
temple an artist skilled to work in gold ard
silver, and stone and timber, and who could
grave any manner of craving. They had
religion of their own, and wherever they
wandered they chung to the traditions,
legends and ceremonies of their country. Is
II impossible that these three little triangular
tablets with their Phenician letters to speak
for them, are not relics that speak to us from
the grave of buried centuries, to tell us that
once, whore we now live and boast our intel.
ligenee and civilization, a people lived
equally as intelligent and learned in handi-
craft as we? This is but speculation, it is
true, but the tablets are here, and can be seen
by any one at the office of the Water Supply
company, on Austin street.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1880-04-01

TpE Houston Post does not think that
more than sixteen or eighteen feet OF water
can ever be obtained on any bar on the coast
Of TIE xas, and argues that the State should
make up its mind 10 be content with that.
It also wants the quota of Texas in the mat
ter of harbor appropriations apportioned
out among various coast aspirants,
that many places may be BEN
Gifted some We think the Post is mis-
taken as to the depth of water obtainable.
We have not the slightest doubt but that
twenty feet Of water can be easily had on
Galveston bar under sliillful engineering dl-
rection, if the necessary appropriation will
be given by Congress. We do not think that
it would take an exorbitant amount Of money,
either-no more than the commerce Of Texas,
now daily growing, is entitled to. 1t is a
mistake to let the harbor of Gal
weston suffer by frittering away
large sums Of money on unimportant
harbors on the coast of Texas. The trade
and commerce of Texas demand tina TIVE
have one great seaport city, and Galveston
should be the place, because now the most
available point. The railway system of the
State practically converges at Galveston,
and it is to the interest of every section Of
our State to see to it that our Senators and
Representatives in Congress procure the
governmental aid necessary to make Calves
ton the harbor she should be. We have
no objections to Indianola and Rockport
and Corpus Christi and the mouth of thu
Brazos having that aid commensurate will
their needs in proportion to the needs of Gal
weston, but It Is time enough yet, when tn,
country tributary to them becomes peopled
for large appropriations. Let Texas have
city within her own limits where she can d
her trading that the millions and million
she annually spends may be kept at HON
and not sent abroad to Oil the Golfers o
other people. Texas is an empire in extent
and will be able alone to support a grea
city.
