perior political skill, the South will
inevitably become again the control
ling section in the government"
There is no doubt but that. the South
Is entering again upon an era of pros
perity, aud her people having been
educated in the school of adversely,
will know how to take advantage OF
its material strength aud political wis
dom. This much can be said, that
when the South was "the controlling
section in the government, nothing
was heard OF credit mobiliers, whisky
rings. post.tradership thievery, SEcoR-
robson navy swindles, safe robberies,
signal service deralcations, or
star route ssindles. The South
may have had its faults, but none OF
the honored names Of southern states
men can be found among the many
who have robbed the people OF their
substance, and whoee names appear
on the criminal records in the District
OF Columbia, except the Republican
scalawags like KELLOGG and OCHIL-
TREE who came to the surface after the
war; rs the scum rises to the surface
when the waters are ngitated.

hoped that the forms OF law nave a'i
been compiled with and that he can
not escape the punishmenthe SO richly
merits by any technicality of the
law. We presume an appeal viii
he taken to the higher courts for
the purpose of delaying the
execution Of the judgment If for nc
other purpose. The summary DISPOSE
ton of this case is in striking contrast
with the manner in which cases OF a
like nature in the. federal courts are
disposed OF. The Republicans are
fond of alluding to the escape OF Demo
cratic criminals from the hands OF the
law. but there are no Instances in
which any Of the officials in Demo-
cratic states who have been appre-
hended have escaped punishment
TwHHD OF New York and POLK of
Tennessee are the two iliustrious ex-
anples of Democratic knavery aud
both were convicted and punished.
The cases of HowoATE, MCDONALD,
BELKNAP, DORSEY, SHEPPARD and a
host Of others equally guilty, who
have gone UNPUBLISHED by reason of
negligence or connivance
are familiar to the reading public.

Is II Sectinnalism z


1t is well known that within the
past few weeks the Northern Presby-
terrain Church have planted their
stakes in Fort Worth. 1t is a pertinent
inquiry of general interest, lis it sec
tionalism ?n We venture our opinion
that il should not be so regarded. Texas
is comparatively new country. Inn
migration is coming in from all points.
1t is even more than all the Protestant
denominations can do to enter the new
fields so as TO give tone and shape in
the direction of Protestant Christian
ity and Protestant civilization. All
these denominations combined are do
ing untold good in moulding the
future religious character of gen
erations yet unborn. The Pres
byterian church of the North sim
ply proposes 10 take part with her
sister denominations in this benef-
cent work. We believe that the terms
North and South, ms applied to the
two branches Of the Presbyterian
family, mean nothing except Icy way
of Distinguishing the one from the
other. Large bodies move slowly, and
exactly how or when these two bodies
of Christians may come together in
the future, it is not for us to say. The
Southern church is already well estab-
| lished in Fort Worth, the effort of the
! Northern church here cannot injuri-
ously affect the Presbyterian church
already established. We understand
the new enterprise to b. altogether in
/ dependent and extra, and in that
| ian effort both for society
! in general and for the good OF the pub.
/ lie morals in Fort Worth in particular
! Indeed, there Is II certain gcnerou.
rivalry in matters of this sort as wei
as in secular affairs, which may be con
! sidefed helpful rather than otherwise
In the competition, if there be any
the disadvantage will be on the side OF
the new congregations; while the
strength of the congregation already
established will manifestly beincreased
by any appeal TO the esprit du corps
We are glad to note that the spirit Oh
scctionalism does not appear to exist
in our cosmopolitan city. ard when
such a splendid institution as the
Northern Presbyterian church pro,
poses in the spirit of kindness to help
our society by her men and money, we
will not decline to welcome her repre-
sen'atives simply because they are from
the North.
