SOUTHERN BRUTALITY.

One of these days there is going
to be terrible awakening down
South, andri will not -be.without
cause either. What the effect
will be is question which the
future must answer. The Negroes
of the South are human beings and
they are not lnsensible Cf the fact
that they have rights In common
with other citizens which are
neither respected or conceded by
the dominant race at the South.
All this in the face of the numer-
Gus constitutional. guarantees OF
protection and the equality of op-
portunity for all men, is in itself
sufficient cause for apprehension
and alarm. There have been too
many murders and lynchings
of colored men down South for
the future peaee.and prosperity of
that section.
They who fight with the sword
shall perish by the sword"
Ihe sword Of truth and Justice
must cut its way through the
mountains of ignorance and error
which separates the, Southern
white men who believe in oppres-
ing the Negro fromthose of their
brethren at the North who believe
in fair play and justice for all men
under the law.
The last Democratit administra-
ton this country will see tor a

lnocuous disuetude with it's boots

OHIO MUST BE CARRIED.

FIVE are to Judge from reports
from variety of sources, Ohio
does not stand so emphatically. q
Republican State as when Gov.
Foraker last presented his claims
TO the people of the Sta'e. Mr..
Campbell is known as IA very pops
ular and literal man with views
not 80 ultra upon the tariff ques-
tion as perhaps the majority of
his party would like and yet suffi>
GENTLY positive to quiet any ,op-
POSITION to Dim on that scpre.
while Republicans of moderate
tariff ideas do not find him revo-
lutionary, but conservative, and
hence fad no objection to him.
Mr.. Foraker has probably gained
but.kttIe ground since his Alast
canvass. ! be Republican party
OF the State was divided upon the
expediency of renomipatlng Gov.
Foraker, claiming that four conse-
cutive nominations of one man
work bad policy. Butterworth
seemed SO inclined. Whether
The party has wholly consolidated
It's forces has not yet fully appear
ed, while there is no doubt as to
the unity of the Democracy. But
Ohio must be carried. The iegis-
lature will elect a Senator to suc.-
ceed Payne and the closeness of
the Senate makes = it imperative
that the Legislature shall be Re
publican. In order to secure sues
cess the colored people of Ohio
must be propeHy y treated. They
are not in such harmony as would
secure full vote aud nothing
short Of some proper recognition
10y the State and the Executive
will briug it.a!put. Senator Sher-
man will do much to mollify the
spirit of dissatisfaction among
colored voters and will do his best
TO secure recognition for them. If
the Senator is given proper power
by the Executive, by the aid OF
colored voters, Ohio will be kept
in the phalaux of Republican
States We hope ltsat htf. HarriS
son aud the leaders Of the party
will look toward securing perfect
harmony among -eolored voters.
We predict good majority for
Foraker and the Republican ticket.

THE ONLY. MANLY COURSE

We congratulate Prof. Langs-
-toa -uponL his wisdom in reconsider
ing his reply to friends and ardent
republicans who aipeSled to him
to set aside his personal feelings
and enter into the Virginia cam
paign in all the energy and power
of true and valiant republican
partisan. La this he has stregth-
eued the order of bis old friends
and by wise diplomacy and
manly course fortified himself
with the friendship Of the leaders
of the party. We applaud the
wisdom of his course for several
reasons. In the first place the
spirit of sulkiness at this time is
unmanIy. In the second place to
have held personal differences
paramount to the great intere SITS
which are involved in the Virgins
la campaign would have beeu to
set at defiance the wishes of the
majority of republicans of Virgin
la and prostituted their best inter
ests to the spirit of profitless spite.
Moreover, to assume that the
merits involved IN his case before
a republican Congress would be
vitiated or ignored through the
efforts OF one rnai claiming tube
a republican is to cast reflection
upon the Republican party which
has gone on record against dis.
elimination on account of color
aud to insult the intelligence and
loyalty of the Committee on Priv.
ileges and Elections which is moi
yet formed and which may reason.
ably be expected to contain ouI
best republican representatives
Prof. Langston has now put him
self in an attitude where he Car
claim the earnest support OF al
good republicans in his efforts tx
secure seat in Congress TO which
the facts indicate he was fairly
elected. To have remained silent
longer would have been suicida
and prejudicial to the hopes and
best wishes of his friends.

to suit the most malignant critic of
journalism.
To perpetuate system which combines
a civil and criminal proceeding in one and
makes of it a matter Of speculation to
impecunious lawyers and characterIess
clients is simply to put premium on
barratry and to surrender to the citi-
zen function of the state. The
granting of punitory damages on pre-
sumption of malice rests upon legal
fiction invented more than three centu-
ries ago, and which stands out almost
alone as a relic of the crude justice of
that day. In most cases under this rule,
the law assumes to be true what is known
Of all to be, in fact, a lie A system

THEY'LL DO TT. -

In response to every question as to the
Spring Palace prospect, each man in Fort
Worth answers oh, they II do it :" Yes,
but who are "they'' that are to do this
thing? The very successes of the city are
thus made an impediment to its progress
IN this matter of Spring
Palace. "They'n do ito and thus
men hold back waiting for the announce
ment that they have done this, as
''they" have done everything else.
But who are "they''? THE GAZETTE
answers: Every man in Fort Worth who
is to receive aught of benefit from the
presence of thousands of people in this
city during the month of June, or from
the increase of population that will
result from personal investiga-
ton of this city s advantages as home
and as n field for investment. This
Spring Palace would be very cheap to the
city at $40 600, and this sum should be
raised if the people would reap all there
is in such investment. But little more
than one-half this sum has been sub
seribed to the stock of the company, and
each man says, ''Oh, they'll
raise the balance needed. - But
will ''they'' do it if every
man relies on some one else to do it? Two
or three gentlemen have left their bust
ness for days now to solicit stock, and
"they" are tired; a few men have
doubled their subscript ions and ''they"
no doubt feel "they'' cannot subscribe
all that is needed; two or three score men
attend the meetings and speak and sub
scribe, and "they'' are growing
weary; time flies, and the first
step towards the Inauguration
of this enterprise is not yet taken; if
"they' are going to do 1t, it is OF the
utmost Importance that ''they'' set
about it at once.
There is not man in Fort Worth who
doubts the benefits to follow from Texas
Spring Palace exhibit in June. All that
can be said in favor of it has been said.
The one thing now to do is to raise the
balance of the money needed, or to con-
cede and announce the failure of the
scheme that any other town so disposed
may take up the project and attempt its
success.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. 30.-Dayid
Fahey VS.. the State; from Galveston
county. This case involved the validity
of the act of 1881, prescribing the occn-
patton tax of retail liquor dealers, and
regulating that business. The particular
grounds of objection to the law were:
That it sought to accomplish more than
one object in single act. and embraced
subjects not named in the title; that it
compelled the payment in advance of
the tax for one year while other occupa-
tions were permitted upon payment of a
quarterly tax, and the taxation of this
act was IOt therefore equal and uniform;
that its provisions were in conflict with
sections Is and 10 of the bill of
right which prohibited excessive fines,
and unusual punishment, and provided
that no citizen should be deprived of his
liberty, property or privileges, except by
due course of the law of the land; that
it was also repngnant to sections 2 and 3
of article s, of the constitution, which
provide that occupation taxes shall be
equal and uniform upon the same class of
subjects within the limits of the authority
levying the tax, and that all taxes should
be collected by general laws and for pub
lie purposes only. That it was also viola
tive of the fourteenth amendment to the
Federal constitution in requiring license
of person persuing this occupation and
not of others pursuing different occupa-
tons None of these objections were
sustained. Affirmed. Opinion by Hurt,
Judge.
Albert Johnson vs.. the State: from
Washington county. Appellant was con-
victed of rape and sentenced to death.
A former appeal will be found in 81 court
of appeals, 35S. The principal issue was
the identity of the defendant with the
perpetrator. While the prosecutrix swore
that the accused was the one who did the
act, she also swore that if he wore mus
tache on that day he was not the man.
Several witnesses testified that the de-
PENDANT had a mustache on the day
named. So there was also conflict as
to the clothing the offender had on. In
this state of the case the prosecution was
allowed, over objection, TO ask defend
ant : witness, on discrimination
whether he did not. after the act. re-

TEXAS is great state, but Wisconsin,
with little more than one-fonrth of the
area Of Texas and admitted into the
Union three years later, has an assessed
value equal to that of this state, only
two congressman less, and two-thirds OF
our railroad mileage. As Texas is more
than four times as large as Wisconsin it
would seem that Texas ought to have
four times as many people and four times
as much wealth as Wisconsin, especially
as we have a soil and climate so much
suDerjor
