sD~A son Of the late President Tyler
only twenty-one years old, is an Uhlan in
the Twelfth Army Corps of Ssxony, and
served through the Franco-Prussian war


He had been for five years a mining stu.
dent at Freiberg but when the clash OF
arms came he laid aside his books and
sought admission to the service. By an
especial favor ofth Minister of War this
foreigner was permitted to enter the ranks
of the King of Ssxony. Being fine look
ing, gallant young man, he made an excel
lent soldier, and his record as the son Of
an American President was enough to- Cause
every officer and private to seek his COM
panionship. During the latter part of the
war young Tyler is said to have carried
his cavalry lance into several hot engage

1t is fact that is regarded Of much
significance that the only powerful
government Of the Old World that has
manifested any disposition to exert its
influence in behalf Of the Pope, or TO
take measures to assuage the painful.
ness Of his position is the Protestant
government Of Prussia. A we'll in
formed contemporary, remarking upon
this fact, says, that Prince Bismarck
has lately appealed to the Italian cabi.
net to be as kind and easy with the
venerable Pontiff as possible, and has
received from Florence the assurance
that the utmost respect toward the head
of the Catholic Church will constantly
be shown by the government of Italy.
This assurance is also fortified by the
passage in the Italian Parliament of a
bill guaranteeing to the Pope about all
the privileges and immunities which
could be expected from popular legis-
lative body.


On the other hand, Austria, which
for the past half century has been one
of the bulwarks of Catholicity has now
fallen away from her fidelity. Not
only is the concordat, which settles the
relations between the Papal See and
the Imperial Government in manner
satisfactory to the former, TO be abro-
gated, but the Ministry have announced
in the Parliament their intention to
propose some sort of declaration
against the recently proclaimed dogma
Of Papal infallibility Should such a
declaration be adopted, Austria under
Francis Joseph will become as decided
ly schismatic country as England be-
came under Henry VIII.

A LITTLE while ago Senator Sumner
stood up in his place in the Senate and
boldly denounced the President as "a
usurper Of kingly authority and violator
Of the constitution, in his attempt to force
his San Domingo project upon the country.
More recently this same Sumner, from the
same place spoke and voted in favor of
the ku-klux bill which confers on the
President unlimited and unconstitutional
powers, and makes him the NEST absolute
dictator on the face Of the whole earth I
This is strange consistency, surely.

To THE LOVERS OF CLAM BAKEs-We have
only to call their attention to the fact that the
last of the season will come off on Saturday of

Hill, the proprietor of the house at Spurwink,

We regret to learn that DR.. James
A. Forbes was arrested in his sick bed
in Bastrop county, a day or two ago,
by four members of the so-ealled State
police, in an illegal and most outra-
geous manner. The Doctor, it appears,
was wanted as a witness in a habeas
corpus case pending before Judge Og.
den of the Supreme Court. He had,
he says, never been summoned as a
witness, or in any way disobeyed a
summons. He was in the first instance
seized by four armed police, and in the
most cruel and brutal manner dragged
to Austin and put in prison. When he
demanded to know by what authority
he was so treated, he was only cursed
and abused, and told that the badges
worn by these ruffians and the arms in
their hands was the authority for this
treatment. '-


We have known DR.. Forbes and his
family for many years, and that he is a
man of truth, honor and courage. We
know moreover, that he held the i'm.
portant position of medical director in
General Lees army in Virginia, with
credit. The Doctor states that three
of the arresting force were white men,
and were drunk, the fourth was q re-
gro and behaved with propriety, and he
believes prevented him from being
murdered outright by the drunken ruff
fans. The Doctor informs Us that he
has laid before the Governor a full
statement of the facts, and asked fol
such redress as may be in the power Of
the Executive. We sincerely hope the
Governor may learn from these facts
how shockingly the people are suffer,
ing from the outrages of this lawless
band ofcut throats, and blackguards and
quietly discontinue their depredations
If he does not, it will then be plain
that he desires to promote and sanction
the open violation of the laws of the
land, and the most sacred personal
rights of the people.


We also hope that the offenders
may be prosecuted and punished fol
this great outrage, to the full extent o.
the law, and we have no reason tc
doubt that such will be the result. The
people of Texas demand, and have g
right to expect this much. Will it b
denied even by Radical officials? We
hope not.

This body adjourned on Monday
evening last, after having adopted a
report of great length and Importance,
and series of resolutions which will
appear in the DEMOCRATIC STATESMAN as
soon as practicable after they are fur,
nished by the committee.


The deliberations of this numerous
and intelligent body are Of the deepest
interest to the people of Texas. We
sincerely hope that every man, woman
and child in the State may read this
report and the resolutions. No fact
stated can be successfully contradicted,
and We presume will not be. Almost
all the important facts set forth in this
report have been mentioned in this
paper, but they are much more impos-
ing when marshalled in the masterly
manner set forth in the report.


We think it will be agreed on all
hands, that no party or faction ever
before were shown to be so wholly in
the wrong, and so utterly without de-
fense or excuse as the Radical party
in Texas. They have attempted no
defense and cannot. They are self
condemned.


Since putting the above in type, it is
our pleasure to give the resolutions in
this issue of our paper, having been
handed US by the Committee, and
which may be found in another column.

Under this imposing title; the San


Antonio Express has an article of a


half column or more of vituperative


abuse of the lawyers of this State.


This impotent outburst of rage against
the bar of this State, is very foolish,


very false and very venomous, and
purports to have been called forth by


the fact that certain members of the
profession have given the opinion that
some of the tax laws are illegal and
unconstitutional. That IA Radical or
gan should hate the law, and hate those
acquainted with its principles, is not at
all surprising; but it is rather remark
able that it should be so openly con-
fessed BY those who are SO loudly ex'
claiming against lawlessncss aud
crime" History affords more than one
example in which tyrants, who have sus,
pended the law and substituting their
own will for law, have issued sdicts for
the summary execution of all the law
yers in the country, Tyranny -four
ishes best where law is unknown, and
where ignorance predominates. Thank
God, the Radical party have not, as yet,
openly set aside all law, or issued an
edict to hang all persons acquainted
with its principles and engaged in its
practice. The lawyers are still al
lowed TO remain and aid their fellow
citizens in the maintenance of their
lawful rights, and we opine there are
many Radical officials who will be here.

THE KENTUCKY INSTITUTION FOR
TIE BLISD.-From the report of the
Board of Trustees for the Kentucky In
stitute for the Education of the Blind,
situated near. Louisville, we gather the
following interesting facts: The number
of pupils connected with the school du-
ring the last year has been sixty four
thirty two males and thirty two females.
In the same period there was one death,
being only the fifth pupil who has died
in the institution within the twenty nine
years of It's existence. il noteworthy in
cident in the history of the institution is
the introduction of sewing machines into
the school near the commencement of the
last year aud the surprising success OF
the female pupils in their use. A seam
stress is no longer required in the in
stitution, and the board recommend that
part of the money set apart for musical
instruments be invested in the purchase
OF sewing machines. They also recon
mend their introduction into all schools
for the blind in the United States.--
