THE Galveston News thinks JUDGE
NORTON too old to make a vigorous can
vass. 1t is just whore the News is mis-
taken. The Judge thinks himself in the
prime of manhood, and wants to marry.
If ever he gets WASH JoNEs by the nap
of Tie neck, that doughty Greenbacker
will wish he had never been born. The
Judge will shake him and worry him,
and turn him around and upside down
until WASH will be at loss to know
whether he is in a throshing machine
orin a turbine water wheel. The Judge
can take care of himself, and will give
special attention to G.. WASHINGTON

THE Keokuk, Iowa, Republican says
the Irish will support any party that
furnishes them whisky on Saturday
night or to celebrate a wake" 1t says
the "Republican and Prohibition parties
are better off without them, for clean,
sober supporters is what they covet."
After trying in every way to secure the
support of the Irish for BLAINE, and
finding their efforts are unsuccessful,
the Republicans offer such insults to the
Irish citizen. They a be assured Of
one thing: The rue Irish element of the
country, who are actuated from princi-
pie and a sense of right, will never vote
Tor BLAINE.

The Late Col. Thomas H. Murray.

WAXAHACHIE, Sept. 27.-Editor HER
AID. "A hasty note from my friend and
fellow warrior, Col. S. C. Mitchell, an
nounces the death of this noble man
and gallant gentleman, whose name
heads this article. He died at McKin-
ney, September 26, 1884. This sad news
brings sorrow to many hearts, and to
none than tothis writer. Col. Mitch
ell adds, zone by one they are leaving
u.s." Col. Murray was Lieutenant-Col-
onel of the Eleventh Regiment of Mis-
souri, volunteer infantry in the brigade
which / had the honor to command.
During the last months of the war he
was in sole command of the regiment,
Col. Burns being absent from sickness,
IT was a time that tried
mems souls. Many who had
stood CALAMITY in the ~iiercest battles
faltered then, but amongst the very
truest stood Thomas II. Murray. In
Missouri, in the ante-bellum days, he
| was known as a staunch and influential
Jeifersonian Democrat, and edited, with
signal ability, the Missouri Democrat.
Doubtless Col. Pfouts knows more of his
political history about those times than
/. lie, like most of us, joined his for
tunes with Southern effort for indie
pendence in his young manhood. l saw
him in the camp, on the march, in the
heat of battle, in The social circle. He
was n gentleman without reproach
wherever one met him..
! can never forget that fierce day when
in the binding hail of death we as
saulted Graveyard Hill, at Helena. Col.
Tom Murray was q leader in that awful
charge.and when we swept the hill clear
of its defenders he stood there, the i'm
personation of courage.

SOME of the papers in the State, that
never did before, are beginning to dis
cuss the free-grass humbug. 1t seems
that they have not yet learned that the
Democratic convention at Houston
made a final disposition Of it. They re-
mind one of the fellow who having lis
tened to a good joke did not see the
point to it until after he had revolvedin
his mind for two or three days, but
when he did comprehend the wit he
laughed at it all the same.

BLAINE's weak confession that his
slander suit was a grand bluff, and the
last batch Of "DEAR FIsHEH'S" letters
are making prominent Republicans all
over The country him.. The
masses of the Republican party begin
to hang their heads in shame at his
record for dishonesty. Then, decent Re
publicans are beginning to get disguised
at BLAINE's revival of the bloody shirt,
after saying in his history that the
South was all right. Laborers in the
North have been thrown out of employ
ment by the hundreds because of manu-
~facturers' pools, by which they agree
not to compete with each other below

There is good reason for belief, as

Der. will prove conspicuous sue
cess. We trust it will be in every
way worthy of the progressive and
puhlic-spirited citizens in charge of
the undertaking, OF the COED city of
New Orleans, and of The different
sections to be represented. Certainly
no exhibition has ever been pro-
jected that had a stronger claim on
public attention, nor any with a
more intelligent purpose, or the
promise of greater benefit if rightly
carried out. 1t aims to be somee
thing more than a mere aggregate
of produces. 1t promises "a magniii-
cent educational opportunity fo1
those interested in the prod uction of
the South's great staple, cotton, and
IN fact, of all other crops. The re-
cent exhibit of progress IN South
Carolina, alluded to elsewhere, while
il emphasizes the advance made IN
manufacture, shows that the amount
and value Of agricultural products
might be largely increased not only
in that State but throughout the ems
tire South, by the adoption of I'M
proved machinery and the best
methods of culture. These will be
seen; the finest samples of the diff
fercnt products will be shown, and
approved appliances for their cul-
tivatlon, preparation and manufact~
ure. AS in the South particularly,
so large proportion of the popula>
tion is engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, the lesson thus afforded will
be of incalcu.able benefit. This we
consider the great, paramount and
most legitimate object Of such an
Exposition. Being comparatively
easy of access, with special facilities
no doubt furnished by the different
transportation companies, we trust
that the agricultural community
especially, in Louisiana and every
part Of the Sout:', will largely avail
itself of the opportunity offered OF
