A V irago.

A negro woman named Rachel
Record was arraigned in Justice Ma
keig's court this morning on two
charges, one Of disturbing the peace
and the other of cursing and swear
ing near the house Of Mr.. Domnau.
1t appeared from the evidence that
the woman had attacked Mrs.
Domnau with an out-pouring of
abuse and billingsgate whose recital
would shock the toughest tar that
that ever swore an oath. She refused
to plead guilty to the charge of dis
turbing the peace, and demanded a
jury. The jury found her guilty and
fined her SO and costs. She then
pleaded guilty to the charge of ours
ing and swearing near the house of
Mr.. Domnau, and Justice Makeig
taxed her an additional 81 and
the costs. Rachel Record is we'll
known to many of the housewives of
Waco who are compelled often to
have assistance in their household
work, and Mrs. Domnau Is not
the first unfortunate who has been
forced to listen to her insolent vitu-
peration, abuse and obscenity, Ra-
chel needs reform, and few weeks
spent between the cotton rows on
Darwin's farm may aid materially
in bringing about change in her
disposition. Her Indebtedness to the
county from this mornings proceed.

1t is said that the Republicans will
make an effort to carry Alabama. and
that their State Executive Committee
has mapped out an active campaign
for that entire State. In view of their
overwhelming defeat in all the South
ern States this year, and particularly
in Alabama, this is highly improbable.
If the Republicans open the campaign
in the active and energetic style they
propose, it will be either bluff, with
the idea of causing political excite.
ment and produce difficulties, if posi-
BILE; or they have an idea it will help
them in their congressional fight.
1t is quite evident that it is the Con.
gressmen they are really after. Thele
is no chance with the electoral votes
of the Southern States, but there are
number of congressional districts
that are close and doubtful: and the
Republicans can be counted on, this
year, to try all of them. 1t is now
quite evident that they will have a
candidate in every district in the
South where there is the slightest
chance of success, and that they will
exert themselves to the utmost success.
The lower House of Congress is as
much their aim as the Presidency it.
self, since with the Senate, it will give
them control of the legislature; and 1t
is in the South that they see the best
chance or an active canvass.
1t is the DANCE that the Southern
Democrats have to provive against
Temes Democrat.
