Those people whose dread Of hav-
ing the Democratic count cot aside IN
favor Of the Republicans lately drove
them to o good deal Of silly and pre-
mature talk, fail to recognize the
enormous difference between the
Republican party Of to-day and the
party Of 1876.
One thing that was an important
element in the scheme to reverse The
Democratic majority in 176, and with
out which it could hardly have been
done at oil, was the presence Of Grant
in the White House. He was ready
to do anything that the most daring
and revolutionary spirit among the
Republican usurpers would suggest.
He would probably have undertaken
to arrest the House Of Representa-
tives il that had been necessary to
count in Hayes. It even appears
that such q scheme was arranged,
and it has been said that only the
threat on the part Of . few Republic
cans, Garfield among the number,
prevented its being carried to the
verge of contamination. At the first
cry for help from the Republican,,
the President would have suddenly
been merged in the Commander-in-
Chief; and, if it had come to the
worst, the United States troops that
had been collected in Washington,
would have been used against United
States Representatives, as though the
latter had boen the rebel Congress
in Richmond. It was conviction OF
their physical helplessness, should
they attempt to assert their rights,
that drove the frightened Democrats
into the surrender Of the Electoral
Commission. IN. Y. Sun.

Maidens Against Widows.
Rohoboth Sunday Herald.

In the records Of the Office Of the
secretary Of state at Columbia, s. O.,
is the following petition bearing date
1888, addressed to the governor OF
South Carolina, and signed by sixteen
maidens: "The humble petition Of
all the maids whose names are under
written:
Whereas, we, the humble petition
ers, are at present in o very melan-
choly condition of mind, considering
how oil the bachelors are blindly cap
tured by widows, and we are thereby
neglected; in consequence of this our
request is that your excellency will,
for the future order that no widow
presume to marry any young man
until the maids are provided for, or
else to pay each Of them q fine for
satisfaction Of invading our liberties,
and likewise q fine to be levied on ell
bachelors as shall be married to wid-
ows. The great disadvantage it 10 to
US maids is that the widows, by their
forward carriage, do snap up the
young men, and have the vanity to
think their merits beyond ours, which
is a great imposition to us, who ought
to have the preference. This is hum,
bly, recommended to your excellency's
consideration, and we hope you viii
permit no further insults And We
poor maids,as in duty bound, viii ever
pray, etc.

To be lowered In despair
And there's not voice 70 cheer II,
Not friend TO hnger near It,
Nor deluded soul 70 fear Il

Furl that garment though it's CORY

Finds It's leaders running, scattered;

And its staff and stitches tattsred,
Standing dropping, all alone!
Furl that garment! Furl it quickly!
For its cause has proven sickly,
And disgrace is gathering thickly
Round its execrable birthl
Quickly end its horrid missionl
Let no thieving politician
Use its aid to get position,
Use its aid to gain admission
'Mong the honored sons of earth.
Take that garment down-'tis ended!

Let no fratricide unfold it!
Let no traitor hand withhold It

Synopsis Of the Proceedings Of the State
Convention Of the WOman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, OF Texas.
The third annual convention OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion, OF Texas, commenced at Corsi.
cana Nov. 21st, and continued in
session three days.
Mrs. Jenny Bland Beauchamp,
President of the State Union, to
which Office she was unanimously
re- elected, and which she has filed
most ably, presided with her usual
grace and dignity. The use OF the
Baptist church, which our thoughtful
sisters of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, of Corsicana, de-
corated most beautifully, with flowers,
was kindly rendered, and the pastors
| OF the various denominations, of the
city, favored us with their presence,
conducting, by request, the devotional
exercises, and also making valuable
suggestions, which were frequently
interspersed with compliments to the
ladies of their thorough knowledge
OF parliamentary usages, fuency in
discussion, and able addresses. The
exercises were all conducted with
true womanly modesty and dignity,
in the following order:
On the night of the 21st an appro-
pirate address, Of welcome. from the
ladies of Corsicana, was read by Mrs.
@. NJ. Winkler, who was invited to
act as their representative. This was
followed by a welcome from the
churches, delivered by DIR. Chrisman,
pastor of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church, which was original,
touching and poeticaL Mrs. Lizzie
johnson, of Paris, then read o very
interesting and instructive article on
Prison Work. On the evening ofthe
22d, Miss Lizzie March, of Whites
boro, read very able production, on
the Scientific instruction of children
in the schools, showing the necessity
of teaching them the injurious effects
of alcoholic drinks upon the system.
Original poems were also delivered
by Mrs. S. E. Buchanan, and Mrs. E.
o. Dannelly, Of Waxahachie. The
former was pathetic and beautiful,
evincing true poetic genius; the
latter was repeated, by request, at
the children's mass meeting.
The most impressive and interest
ing feature Of the occasion was the
presentation Of an elegant silver water
pitcher, to Mrs. Lizzie johnson, by
her sisters OF the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, as a testimonial
Of their appreciation Of her valuable
and untiring services, without COM
pensation, during the past year.
Mrs. Nellie Hobbs, O daughter Of our
worthy President was selected to
perform this pleasing task, which was
done most gracefully in a few beauti-
full and touching remarks. Mrs.
johnson, who was overwhelmed with
surprise at this unexpected manifes-
tation Of regard. arose and expressed
her thanks in . few appropriate
words, the sincerity Of which was
sttested by the tear Of gratitude
which came unbidden TO the eye
showing that her generous heart vas
touched by this loving token oI
esteem
On Sunday afternoon there was :
mass meeting Of the children, which
vas largely attended by young and

connection with temperance, which
contained many good suggestions
and arguments. The Methodist
church, being the largest in the city
was selected for this last and most
important meeting, and was filed to
its utmost capacity. It was announ-
ced the day previous by the Rev. Mr..
Scott, that the celebrated divine Rev.
DR.. Burleson, Of Waco, would I'LL the
pulpit OF the Baptist church. He
said that he did not advocate opposi-
ton, but simply wished to announce
that there would be an overflow meet
ing. As Mr.. Scott made his appear
ance at the Methodist courch, soon
after the exercises began, it was taken
taken for granted that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union had
attracted the crowd, leaving the
distinguished visitor without hearers.
This little incident is related to show
the great change in public sentiment
concerning the Woman's Temperance
movement in Corsicana. During the
convention many who went to criti-
cize, left commencing the band OF
women, who, actuated by the spirit
Christ, and sympathy for suffering
humanity, have ignored public opin-
ion, and in their noble moral heroism
have determined to use their COM
bined influence to conquer the
monster evil of the day. To sue
cessfully accomplished this, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion is thoroughly systematized and
divided into separate departments,
the following State officers having
been elected at the recent conven-
tion:
President, Mrs Jenny Bland Beau
champ, Denton.
Corresponding Secretary, Miss
Anna Horner, Denton.
Recording Secretary, Mrs. Hether
ington, Dallas.
Treasurer, Mrs. Lucy Kno wles,
Dallas.
Superintendent, Scientific Instruc-
ton, Miss Lizzie March, Whitesboro.

Miss Myra White, Whitesboro.
Superintendent, Legislative Work,
Mrs. Mary Carter, Watauga.
Superintendent, Sunday School
Work, Mrs. S. e. Buchanan, Waxaha-
chic.
Superintendent, Flower Mission,
Mrs. M. E. Berlin, Denton.
Superintendent, Young Woman's
Work Mrs. Nellie Hobbs, Blossom
Prarie.
Superintendent, Band Of Hope, Miss
NelIie Holland, Cleburne.
Superintendent, Prison Work, Mrs
Lizzie johnson, Paris.
Superintendent, Influencing Press
Mrs. Elizabeth O. Dannelly, Waxaha-
chic.
Mr.. Chas. Culmore, Of Houston,
was reelected to the work among
Foreigners, until q suitable woman
can be found to take his place.
We regret exceedingly that nc
delegate came from San Marcos
Will soon send Mrs. NJ. M. Clardy tc
you.
It is q fact no longer to be denied
that the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union is fast gaining ground,
and becoming a power in our country
1t is not denominational, or political
and is no woman's rights movement
or secret society, as some have
erroneously supposed. The true
position and object of this philan
thropic organization is being more
fully understood, and we hope thai
our timid sisters, who have hitherto
stood aloof, will come TO the rescue
of our favored land from the thralldom
Of intemperance.
