An Appropriate Reprimand.

Judge Reagan in giving his views
upon tho subject OF who would be
the proper person for tho Democrats
TO nominate for the President, to win
in 1884. says some hard and ugly
things about Tilden, the great
est statesman to-day in the Democrat
ic ranks. The Meridian Blade, n
dyed in the wool democratic paper,
reprimands the Anderson county
statesman, for his unfair and unjust
attack on Mr.. Tilden, in this wise'
Judge Reagan has very sound
views upon most questions, but like
all men who talk great deal, he is
sometimes guilty OF very ridiculous
expressions. For instance he took
occasion IN q recent interview to
brand Mr.. Tilden as coward and a
liar. At this time it seems altogeth-
or unnecessary for him to assail the
record of Mr.. Tilden in any manner,
ms there are no signs indicating the
slightest design on the part OF that
gentleman to be placed in the way OF
the Butler and Reagan combination,
but even if there were such, Mr.. hea
gan ought to bewell enough acquaint-
ed with public-sentiment to know that
a resort TO abusive epithets is not the
best way to kill off Objectionable as
pirants to office, especially when, rs
in this case, it is impossible to slls-
tain either the truth or justice OF the
terms applied. 1t appears that ne
regards Mr. Tilden coward for his
refusal to assert his title to the pres
idency in 1876. Mr.. Reagan ought to
know that Tilden's course in that
matter was only such asany patriotic
citizen would have pursued under the
The towards in that
affair were the democratic leaders,
who traded the Office without even
Mr.. Tilden with the courte
sy to consult him in the matter. The
ground upon which the Palestine
statesman bases his accusation OF
falsohood against Mr.. Tilden is as
absurd and unsound as that upon
which no charges him with cowardice.
MIR. Reagan should be prepared with
the documents when he uses such
against the only man who
has been able to lead tho democratic
party to victory since the war.

Some one (says the indianapolis
SentineD has kindly sent us a Texas
paper with the following marked:

and of which Democratic House

blame the House for not sticking.

the Democratic members OF the

Tilden and Hendricks we can sue

Governor Hendricks. His staunch,
unfinching Democracy, his public

The Llano Rural gives an account
of the Sawyer-Dixon shooting affair
as follows:
On Friday evening last, VIM. Saw
yer-not Bud-shot and killed Judd
Dixon, about three miles east or
northeast from Babyhead. They had
a row during the day, concerning a
letter written by Sawyer, and in
which Dixon alleged he had been in
iured. Later in the evening, Dixon
went into the woods some distance
beyond Sawyer's place, where VIM
SAWYER and his brother, and Dixon,
came together. No one knows how
the killing WAS done, but the two
brothers went 10 the house OF DObe

Mccoy went to the place and found
Dixon dead. having fallen from his

THE merchants of Dallas, Texas,
must be q peculiar set. The other
day eight or ten Of them requested
an audience with the county prosecu-
ting attorney. That official granted
the request, appointed the time and
place, and, thinking perhaps they
might desire to impart some useful
information, he took the grand jury,
which happened to be in session,
along with him. When the merchants
saw the jurors they were somewhat
taken aback. They blushed, and the
report says there was Quaker-like
stiffness for several minutes. Then
one of the merchants summoned SUI
ficient courage to state their business.
It was to the effect that they desired
the prosecutor to let up in his prose-
cutions of the gamblers of that city
They did not actually approve OF
gambling, but they thought the gam
blers were of great financial benefit
to the city, and were they driven away
it would hurt the business men very
much. After they had unburdened
their minds the prosecutor remarked
that he was not greatly concerned
about the financial affairs of the bus
mess men; his duty was to track the
law and prosecute the offenders, re-
CARELESS of other considerations. The
merchants then solemnly withdrew.
Their action is hardly calculated to
cause a wild stampede of honest men
from other places to Dallas.

casion of some merriment in republi-

governor applied to the department

of that merriment. It transpires that
such an application was made, andre
