TIE Bellville Times of Ii

THE Bellville Times of the
sd inst. goes out ofits way TO
cast reflections on the BANNER
in reference to remarks made in
this paper concerning Bellville
as cotton market, the said re-
marks being predicated upon
an editorial in the Times of two
weeks ago. 1t has ever been
the purpose of the BANNER to
be just. If we misunderstood
the tenor of the article in the
Times we stane ready to be
corrected. We have uniform
ly treated the Times courteous
ly, yet it sees fit to lose its tenn
per and makes remarks which to
we deem it wholly unnecessary
to reply. We desire to main
tain the most friendly relations
with our contemporaries and so
far as we know have given the
Times no cause to complain.

The Exodus Again.

The question Of the colored
exodus from the south is again
being discussed in the newspa-
pers. The Little Rock, Ark,
Democrat says the sooner all
the negroes dissatisfied with
their lot in the south leave it the
better it will be for all concern
cd. They will find exactly the
same kind OF people in the north
that they find in the south they
will have to work just as hard
and a little harder to make
living; they will save no more
money. The negro has yet to
learn that he does not depend
upon any particular section of
the country nor upon any pollt-
ical party; he is now freeman
as well as a freedman, and upon
his own exertions will depend
his future success or failure as a
citizen. The negro is, before
the law, on an equality with the
white citizen, he enjoys the same
advantages and has the same
protection in his rights. That
the south needs the labor of the
colored man no one doubts, but
that it could get along without
it is also true, and with a more
intelligent class of laborers,
would, in few years be much
better off. For some years
northern philanthropists, or
more properly fanatics, have
been engaged in trying TO make
the negroes in the south believe
that they were ill-treated as
well as. oppressed, and that if
they could only get to a north
ern state that their condition
would be vastly improved and
they would also be on full
social equality with the whites.
1t is useless to tell a southern
negro that this is NOT SO, he will
only believe it after he has had
ocular demonstration. In this
immediate locality we have
heard nothing of the exodus for
some time and the matter seems
to be dropped, though as a mat
ter ofcoursei thereeis no telling
how soon it may break out
again. A'number Of those who
went from here to Kansas have
returned thoroughly satisfied
with their experience. Ifhow-
ever, any of them want to go
there is nothing andfnobody to
prevent them; all thatthey need
is money to go on.

ScHEMING New York capital
lists have sent George NJ. Will
liams, colored member of the
Ohio legislature, to New Next
co for the purpose of looking up
a location for the establishment
of a colored paradise. These
New York capitalists have an
object in view and it is not to
benefit the negro race, but to
put money in their own pockets
by selling the land at a large
profit.

As al newspapers publishers
know, there is a larg. amount OF
foreign advertising done in Tex
as papers; by far the larger por-
ton of this advertising is patent
medicines and proprietary ar
ticles, the sale of which brings
the proprietors a very large
profit. Publishers OF homs&pa-
pcrs, that is, papers print
the Office of publication 4
most daily in receipt Of q
advertise articles and
payment the article adv
and pay the advertiser
same in cash, a price G
to the valle of
thus doing the
ing for nothing. n
tabllshed newspapers
propositions in the waste bas-
ket. Again advertising agents
are continually sending out
propositions for advertising
making offers that are calcula-
ted to bankrupt a paper, the ad-
vertising space in which is
worth anything. Another cause
of4educed rates for advertising
of the character mentioned is
the patent papers, the publish
ers of which receive nothing for
the space occupied in them by
advertisements. We are in
formed that a two inch adver-
tisement can be put in sixty-six
of these sheets one month for
about S., or less than the rate
of one respectable paper for the
same length of time. We now
have a press association in this
state and if the publishers of
home printed papers and those
who use patent papers without
advertisements, would agree
upon a fair price for foreign adj
vertisements and stick to it
the price being grading accord
ing TO the circulation of the pa
per--something might be done
by which the papers would be
protected; in unity there is
strength, if the manufacturers of
proprietary goods want to adj
vance their articles in Texas
they should be made to pay a
fair and reasonable price for
the same. Many of the pub
fishers in the state exc our a
bare existence and such take
advertisements at any price of
fered, just to fill up. Papers in
this condition should reduce
their size to such limits as
would accommodate only their
legitimate advertising and sup
ply reasonable amount Of
reading matter to their patrons,
by pursuing the contrary course
they not only do themselves an
injury ,but they injure the bus
mess of other publishers. This
subject should be thoroughly
discussed by the next meeting
of the press association, and if
possible definite rates should
be agreed upon and maintain
ed.

The Presidents Message.

The president in his message
congratulates the country upon
the peaceable and quiet prcsi-
dental election. Complains that
in certain quarters in the south
negroes have been defrauded
of the votes, though there was
no bulldozing or outrages. Con-
dennis sectionaiism in all its
forms, saying no portion of the
country should be united in
solid opposition to any other
section. Recommends that the
constitutional amendments, par
tlcularly the fifteenth amend
ment be strictly enforced. Says
that education is the best and
surest guarantee of the primary
rights of citizenship. Thinks
that congress should aid those
states that are unable to edu-
cate their citizens. Civil-ser-
vice reform should be fully car
ried out. Competitive eXamina-
tons in appointments and pro-
motions have been conducted
for some years and have proved
beneficial. Political assessments
are severely deprecated. Does
not approve of the spoils sys-
tem,. or in other words reward
ing men for services rendered
. in securing the election of MEM
bers of congress, etc. Says it
is the recognized duty and pur-
pose of the people of the Uni
ted States to suppress polygamy
in the territories and to prevent
its extension. Relations with
all foreign countries have been
undisturbed and peaceful con-
siderable space is devoted to
this subject. The inter-oceanic
canal is mentioned-the United
States should maintain and ex-
ercise authority over any inter-
oceanic canal across the 18TH
mus. An International sanitary
conference is recommended.
Considerable space is devoted
to trade. and commerce and sew
eral recommendations are made.
No public duty has been more
constantly cherished than the
policy. of paying the national
debt as readily as possible.
The continuance of specie
payments. has not been in
,terrupted or endangered
since the date or resumption.
The present ideal or standard
dollar is only worth IS cents
its issue should cease and silver
dollars of equivalent value as
bullion should be substituted.
Our financial history shows
how surely money becomes
abundant, whenever confidence
in the exact permanace OF mon
ey obligations is established.
The remainder of the message
is taken up with department re-
ports and minor matters.

1t is not confined to the tene-

about the Sunday law. In
