Matrimonial.

The fall season opens early. The mar
riage referred to in our last as just about
coming of, was that of Rev. j. b. French
and Miss Annie Dial, one of the fairest and
best of iSan Marcos rosebud garden OF
girls" The weddingwas handsomely solemn
lied on Wednesday night at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. b. Harris, Methodist, ofiici-
ating. The newly married pair are spend
ing their honeymoon at San Antonio.
On the night following Mr.. Frank john
Jon and Miss Cassie Ivey, daughter of our
old friend Mr.. L. p. Ivey, were married at
the home of the brides parents, by Rev.
Mr.. Harris This appears to us very fit
ting union of hearts and hands. The hap
by pair went to housekeeping the next day
at the snug residence of the groom.

my 10 the South, who sought after the war

come down here and cut the threats Of the
men, women and children Of this country.
The Commissioners well knew the falsiiy Of
this charge But did they signify Just
dlspleasure by Withdrawing their patronage
from this vile slandererl Did they rebuke
him either by word or doedS Did they
breathe whisper OF protest, or give ont any
intimation Of their dlSapprovalS Nay, verify
So far as appeared, they were pleased with
the exhibition. They seemed to think, IL
not hope, that their stopping the feed" OF
tho FREE PREss, aided by these attacks of
their organ, would DO the death Of It. Vain
hopel as they have found,
We shall have more 10 say on this partic-
tial point hereafter. Meantime, We win
merely ask tho good people Of tho county,
generally, How do you like to have 1t 90
forth to the world, by the allotment OF a
portion of your oiii,id representatives, that
a man, after residence in your midst Of
over dozen years as peaceful citizen,
having some little stake in the country,
paying his taxes and meeting all the respon-
sibilities of good citizen, should thus be
causlessly traduced and bounded down?
What impression, think you, must such
have abroad rs TO the character
of our community What inducemont to good
people. elsewhere to come and make their
homes with US,
Tho charge is Ia most serious one, and
being utterly false, the consequences should
be serious to those making or tacitly sane
tioning it.
In conclusion We will ask, why should the
patronage of any of our county officials con-
tinue to go to Kylep The so-oalled contract
with McLemore is essentially farce, intend
ed merely for his benefit, and not for the in
terest of the county. There are now two
printing offices in San Marcos. II the
FREE Press is deemed unworthy of official

we have referred to-we say, let the work
be given to the Cresset. 1t is more worthy
of it than the Kyle News.

day, when he became suddenly i'll, and in q
short time went into most violent parox-

write, just before going to press, it is
thought there is but little chance for his re.

SECRETARY BAYARD, in q happy inn
promptu speech made on presentation day
at tho National Deaf Mute College, in
response to an invitation of President
Gallaudet, who spoke in tho warm0st
terms Of Mr. Bayard's efforts as senator
and trustee Of tho institution to further
its Objects said that he would continue to
take an active interest in behalf Of tho
college, for, independent of tho great good
it had achieved in unlocking the impris-
oned or hidden Intelligence Of many
minds, he was himself a debtor in largo
degree for tho benefits and the iuforms.
tion that he had personally derived from
his association with it. The Secretary
stated that this college was supported by
direct appropriations from tho national
treasury, and that in observing its bone.
fits to the unfortunate children, as they
developed under its instruction, the pro-
cess seemed almost like tho creation of
new minds. 1t also prepared the pupils
for self-maintonance. In closing, the
Secretary spoke with heartfelt earnest
ness in favor OF giving the benefits of the
college to all who needed them, irrespect-
i've of race, color, or condition. This
sentiment was heartily applauded, rs II
should have been, for it was an indication
of progress, very great progress indeed
coming, as it did, from the chief of Della.
ware Cavaliers.

The Army Of the Potomnc.

The veterans Of tho Union army that
fought back and forth in tho narrow
space that separates this city from Rich
mond, and finally, after four years of
desperate warfare, dealt the confoderaoy
its death blow, are now holding their
sixteenth annual reunion in our neigh
boring city of Baltimore.
Though twenty years have passed since
the war ended hosts of the men of the
north and south, whose deeds constitute
record of imperishable testimony to the
sturdy qualities Of American valor, arc
happily still living. As they come to-
gother on occasions like that under con.
sdoration the touch Of Times hand is
visible in grizzled hair, wrinklod brows,
and brawn and muscle no longer equal to
the trials that were heroicallY endured
in tho flush and strength Of their younger
manhood. Let another twenty years pass
and sadly few will bo the mon who will
respond 80 the roll call of tho Society oi
the Army Of tho Potomac, aud renew to,
gether tho glorious recollections of the
mighty events in which they were actors
Ii is we'll that the meu OF the great
army should thus come together. A gen.
Grafton has now grown up to whom the
deeds so fresh in their memories arc al
ready history. These reunions arc in
oentlve to this rising array Of younl
men and women to ponder over this
lesson taught by tho great civil war, and
as they gaze upon the men who we're It's
heroes they arc led to read anew tn,
story of Bull Run, of Gettysburg, o
Charlottesville, Of Appomattox, and a
they read their love for the country tina
could produce such men as those VIII,
fought in those giant conflicts mus
needs be renewed and strengthened.
Tho mon of tho Army Of the Potoma
will pass away, but the impress of theii
deeds will remain forever upon the Rrea
republic. 1t is theirs now to frsternallS
renew recollections Of the days that con
stitute their pride aud glory. A grateful
country looks on and admires as they
recount their acts aud their trials, an,
will SEQ to it that their memory sha
never perish from the land.
