GOVERNOR Ireland has raised his reward
for the arrest and conviction of fence cutters
from $50 to 500, and SIso where the high
est punishment permitted fine of $Ioo and
one years imprisonment is imposed upon the

The dieiul results of lynch law is most
plainly shown BY the proceedings at McDade,
Texas, on Christmas day, and five dead
bodies are left to show the contempt of the
law Of the land and its power to redress
wrongs or punish criminals. This state of
society is all wrong, and until men are put
into ofsce who dare to make the laws supreme.
such chapters as relate to McDade on Christ
mas day will be of frequent occurrence The
judicial hanging OF the leaders Of mobs would
effect reformation in a great respect.

SoME week or more ago the LIGHT, IN q
spirit Of banter and POPULARITY, remarked that
the STOOL killer was badly needed in the of6r.
Of the Dallas Times" which remark has mt
the parson editor in towering passion, ami
forced from him some foul eutationt
preacher should not pour out such trad. ol
billingsgste as Parson Stewit INDUCED ID a
few days ago. The Times accuses the LIGHT
Of hsrboring grudge agsnst that paper on
account Of something the Times said in 1873
respecting Governor Davis, but we feel sur.
the Times was joking. The LIGHT harbors
no grudges on account Of old scores; /, Ia.
ssthing to do with grave yard questions, or
dead issues, and is dealing only with present
and future issues. The Times is assured that
when the LIGHT realizes its need Of an in.
structor in refined and polite diction It will not
apply to paper that has never given any
specimens Of refinement Of style and editorial
courtesy. 1.-THE Times will take an aperient
and a shower bath, we fancy it will really feel
ashamed Of its squirt Of i'll temper and III
manners, and behave better in the future.
The Legislature will soon be in session and
We hope the members, when they convene,
will discard poker playing aud CURLING whisky
and energetically devote themselves to their
public duties, which, without any exageera-
ton, are Of the gravest description. No
former Legislature has been called upon to
deal with so difficult and complicated ques-
ton as is that OF fence cutting, and the ext
gency OF the times and the gravity of the
occasion should produce sobriety Of judgment
on the part of the members. The LIGHT
most sincerely wishes and hopes that the Leg
islsture may hit upon and devise an adequate
and effective remedy, and that fence cutting
will soon be thing of the past. While not
