The Houston Age expresses the opin-
ion that the LIGHTis an Indifferent Judge
Of what constitutes Democracy, and that
its saying the Democracy Of the Houston
Post seemed to it to be orthodox was
worthless as an endorsement, but the
public understands that the Age has no
capital stock except assertion. IfDemo-
crazy has fixed principles and catholicity
of creed, the LIGHT, or any other news
paper, irrespective of its political COM
plexion, is as competent to judge of the
Democracy of the Post, as is the wise
acre of the Age, and the position of the
Age would imply that Democracy is q
mystery, or is like juggler's box, sup
piled with false bottom, and so not to
be comprehended by the uninitiated. The
Age is clearly not well posted, as 1t for
gets the fact that Governor Ireland and
the Legislature took the Democracy Of
the Post to be pure and genuine. The
Ages attacks on the Post remind one Of
seed tick setting out to fay an ele-
plant.

The proposition to empty the oontem-
plated sewers into the San Antonio river,
even below the city, meets with deter
mined opposition, which it may not be
wise and prudent to disregard. San

howl would go up, perhaps war would
be declared. Well, our own people, in
the neighborhood of the San Juan school
house, the people Of Greytown and the
people OF Floresville decidedly object to
the defilement of the river, whose waters
they use. Perhaps an injunction might
be sued out and the sewers be suspended
for several years, If not perpetually en-
Joined, so that it might be best to exca-
waite reservoir and empty the sewers

Getting at the Facts.

New YORK, August l3.-Yesterday
the officers and men Of the Alert, Thetis
and Bear refused to say anything for pub
LEGATION about the sufferings of the Greedy
party. 1t was evident, however, that can
nibalism at Cape Sabine has some founda-
ton on fact, A gentleman connected
with the relief expedition who did not
wish his name used said the opinion
among the officers was that if cannibalism
was resorted to it was only when it was
either that or death. Any u can easily
understand, said this gentleman, that
men who had been living for months on a
few shrimps would not be exactly in their
right minds. When Greedy was found
the party were more or less u Of their
heads, and they had suffered SO much
from hunger and exposure, that collapse
was very near. 1t is easy to see that for
months the dominant and only idea in the
minds ofthese minds was how to get food.
They probably dreamed and thought of
nothing else. They cannot be blamed for
eating whatever they could find.
The Bear was open to visitors to-day.

six victims had been preserved was on

Henry Was Shot.

BosToN, August ia special from
Portsmouth, N. H., says; Early this
morning Colonel Kent obtained an inter
view with Lieutenant Greedy, who admit
ted that he had Henry shot by military
execution on the 9th of June. AS early
as March it was suspected that Henry had
been stealing the limited food which was
apportioned out to the survivors and this
fact being finally and positively ascertain
cd, Lieutenant Greedy had thereafter
hard work to protect the mans lite. 1t be-
came necessary in order to keep up thedis-
cipline to inform Henry he would be shot
if the practice continued and that a SINH
lar fate woul | be melted out to any other
member of the party detected in a like
crime. If Henry had been permitted to
continue his ~stealings unmolested, the ro-
mainder of the party would surely have
starved to death and Henry alone sur
vived. After, and in spite of these warn
ings, Henry was again detected stealing
provisions, among the food taken being
two pounds of bacon, the eating OF so
much of which made him sick. A search
was then instituted when it was found
that Henry had, among other articles,
stolen and secreted a pair of seal skin
boots which had belonged to the hunter
of the party. Lieutenant Greedy was
therefore forced, in ordert to maintain mill
tary discipline and protect the lives of his
other comrades, to issue a written order
that Henry be shot, which order was car
ried into effect June 6. As to the alleged
%eannibalism, Greedy says if there was any
thing of the kind it must be an individual
act and not general. Nothing of the
kind, however, came under Greely's per-
sonal observation.
Sergeant Brainard, who is in the hos
pitsl at the navy yard confirms Greely's
statements. More than u week ago Lieu
tenant Greedy forwarded to the Secretary
of War a detailed report of the Henry
execution. Upon proper representations
to Secretary Chandler a Court OF Inquiry
will undoubtedly be ordered.
