MR. SlINSET COX.

The Associated Press, for day or two
past, has been full Of the action of the
constituents Of MIR, SAMUEL SULLIVAN
Cox, who are desiroua that his nominR-
ton as minister TO Turkey should be
withdrawn, and he should continue to
serve them in the capacity Of con-
gresham from New York. There Is a
considerable degree of ridiculous gush
about these proceedings, but they afford
food for reflection to other districts
throughout tho United States.
AS far back az the Thirty-ffth con
gress Mr.. Cox wont to Washington
from Ohio, and was continued for four
terms. He then removed to Now York,
and has served almost continuously
since the Forty-frst congreSs "a repre-
sentative from the metropolis. Ho has
become famous, not only through his
literary work, but as an eI-
perionced and active member
OF congress-. and is to-day ono
of the best known men, not only In the
national house, but in,the country. Long
service has made him famous and influ-
ential and the men who have stood 80
long by his side have learned the value
of experience and naturally do not want
him to leave them. They know what
experience and long service mean and
hope forno such returns from new
man as from SAMUEL SULLIVAN Cox.
This metropolitan constituency Of
Mr.. Cox have evidently the correct
view of tho services of MIR, Cox and
want to keep man in service whose
presence in congress Is worth some
thing to his constituency, Influence
there is only obtained by long service
aud congressman OF term or
two are never heard OF. Let
Texas and other states loarn
lesson from this action of Mr..
CoX's supporters. Texas has boon for
the past few years strongly endorsing
its congressional delegation and keeping
them there in spite of all opposition,
Many of our Texas congressman are
fully up to MIR. Cox In influence In the
house and continued service will only
serve to enlarge their power and spread
the prestige of themselves and state
throughout the country. So let the state
and respective districts keep them
there until all states must take a back
seat and acknowledge that Texas has
the best known and most influential del
egation In congress.

DALLAS, Mayll6.-[Editors HERARD.l T.
In the cause OF philanthropy please al
low one to recommend to the good citi-
zens OF Dallas Mrs. Myra r. Hunter,
with whom many OF your readers are ac-
quainted through her heroic efforts to
secure ssuppOrt. She is an intelligent
ally gifted with the pen and artists
brush, OF wealthy and influential fam
lily, but prefers rather TO be indepen-
dent than to be compelled to appeal TO
them for support.
For these reasons our citizens should
encourage her in her laudable efforts to
procure a livelihood.
This is no appeal for charity on hor
behalf, but only for that respectful and
generous treatment which a high-mind-
ed aud intelligent lady should receive
at the hands Of the people OF Dsllas.

A onuRr SENSATION.

Our telegraphic dispatches, this morn |
ing, contain the elements of first class
sensation. Say what we may, tho world
at large enjoys scandal, particularly
when it refers, in specific 'serms, to high
people. In this instance Che subjects of
the scandal are suffice atty exalted in
the eyes of the world 10 meet all the re-
quirements of tipruop scandal, and
English and American society, if not
that of the world. will be profoundly
agitated. Nobody over supposed that
the Prince OF Wales was seriously
troubled by moral scruples and the cid
queens ridiculous conduct since the
death of her giilie, JOHN Brown, has
ever thrown a cloud of suspicion over
her court, but Che "grand old man." as
his admirers love to call GLADSTONE,
has heretofore been Ike CEsAR's wife
should have been, "above suspl cion."
This letter of COUNT VAssALr, attack
ing the private life OF GLADSTONE, and
indeed the morality OF the entire Eng
lish court, is likely to prove a greater
bomb than has been exploded in Great
Britain for many day. Ii the premier
and court as rotten as this titled letter
writer would lead US to suppoaes Is
there a kitchen or courtesan cabinet In
Englandf These are weighty matters
that the reading public Of the world
will likely linger over.
Genius has ever been Maynard, and
to its accounts may be charged more
evils and errors than can be charged tc
the commonplace masses of mon. Toe
often bright talents have been Joined
with fatal weaknesses, the animal has
proven too strong for the intellectual
, and 1t may bo possible that this "grand'
English premier and the British
court, heretofore regarded as the
best and purest Of Europe
are whited sepulchres, yielding
. easily to the leeherous pas
= sions that attack the palace and the re-
| sorts of genius and station as common
= ly as they do the ignoble haunts of pov
} erty or crime.
, 1t Is sad story, but so TAR must b.
taken with great allowance. The pre-
mier and The court have bitter and re
, lentless enemies, and nothing could 81
J quickly or eiiectually stab them to thu
, vitals as a well founded attack upoI
, their social purity and relations. VIVA
, political vigor would fail to accomplish
sensation with semblance of trutl
might, and although count lends hi
name to the attack, it may be, after all
but deep laid scheme to sian der GLAD
STONE and the government and inhu
ence pending votes on vital topics I
these lecherous conditions, referred II
by COUNT VAssALI, exist, the people o
Britain cannot Too soon change thei
administration; but if net, cannot TOT
soon strikingly rebuke the slanderer.

In so large an assemblage of cattle
men as that just adjourned in Dallas
there must necessarily have arisen an.
tagonisms OF interest and sentiment.
Different policies suggested themselves
TO different minds, and, as matter of
course, discussion could not entirely
obliterale or 10 much extent modify
previously conceived opinions. Yet,
compromise Ii essential to general CO.
operation, without which the cattle in-
terest must suffer. ltis sincerely hoped
that the spirit Of mutual concession and
accommodation will prevail, and that
the action of the late meeting may be
thoroughly endorsed as the accepted

IN the great scramble for Office no

than the fact that vas. number Of petit

submit the principle, in obedience to

and political consistency, must obtain

assistant acknowledgement be turned
out to make place for democratic
successor any sooner than u twelve
hundred dollar republican postmaster?
The Post is unable to appreciate tho
difference in this high and low degree,
as a matter of principle aud right, and
yet when al humble member OF the

is at once contemptuously labelled a

beg 10 inform the writer that there are
10 saloons in the county, and only one

could DO no just reason for any ono
TO say that Prohibition would carry this

turned out OF IT," The writer of this
knows of good men not Germans who
are almost total abstainers, vet
they dc not believe in Prohibit
tioR, and also good men who
are moderate drinkers, who will
vote for the measure. This is only a
question Of what is best for the country
and does not apply to any class or ma.
tionality. The remarks complained of
would naturally lead tho public to be-
li0ve that the German population
were all whisky men, and as such
held the balance of power, and would
cast their votes against Prohibition, uR.
less their "toeh were turned out of the
county'-a fine expression TO emanate

THE HERALD acknowledges the re-
ceipt, with the compliments OF the su-
thor, of GEN. CARL SoHURz pamphlet
entitled the "New South" The proper
attention and study has not yet been
given the treatise which any emanaLion
from so gifted writer and statesman
should receive, but from hasty review
of its contents we should unhesitatingly
say it was conceived in the proper spirit
and the subject handled not only with
ability but fairness. One error
he has undoubtedly fallen into,
however, and whilst IL Is not
unnatural, tits none tho less an error. On
the seventh page he says, speaking Of
the isouthern people under ANDREW
JoHNsoN's administration, "they were
madeto delude themselves with the false
hope OF reversing in some way the
emancipation of the slaves, at least par
TALLY, by Legislative contrivances." GEN.
SCHURz is utterly and radically wrong
in this. From the close of the war no
sane southern man ever dreamed in
his widest isncies of the restoration of
slavery and the very lowest number de-
sired IL.

The objection OF the st. Louis Globe
Democrat to the employment Of dogs
with which to catch escaped convicts is
that 1t is a relic OF barbarism. But
wouldn't It more truly argue the pres
ence Of barbarism Itself if they were al
lowed to escape? This cry of "relic,"
ETC., is pure and unadulterated nom
sonce. Eating is tho same sort of "relic"
so is marrying and giving in marriage,
with vast number of other little ways,
that mortals OF the present day have in
common with those Of past ages. There
is no more cruelty in freeing or dem
