The Texas rangers at El Paso are tUhrat Ialed with another Alamo. They are sur t.ýounded, as the heroes of the Texas war of t deP enednce were at Kan Antonio nearly half * gatury ago, by a howling mob of Mexican . aouting for the head of Judge It is hardly probable that the ran Swill give up Howard to the tender mor mof. the Mexicans, or that they can hold dut until reinforcements arrive. A rehearsal of the horrors of the Alamo is UIf than possible. The Texas rangers are a not likely to yield until the last load of unl|tion isgone; the howling mob around are Mexicans, the same bloodthirsty ser who massacred the garrison of San SA mio in 1836. .I..- s who remember that massacre will "inber the spirit of revenge it aroused E.L ho well the Texans answetred it with aiArm i . Any outrage by the Mexicans i on the borders to-day will create an even i'm-m teainse feeling, utterly quench that 'Jakl tentimental.am that some of the North papll pape retend to feel, and convince the whole country of the absolute necessity of UintLaolling more effectuly "our sister re ipubio," so-called. She Cincinnati (t mmer c'l, chief champion a the dollar of our fathers, fluds a very good "ag ment against the New York Bulletin, in :the BuWin's own finance article. The Bull k'a article is as follows: "The following +i e to-day's quotations in geld for coin and Stlion: Amerioan trade dollars 97,; Ameri . a.n aver (half and quarter dollars) 96'4; SAmer.Ia Silver (dimes and half dimes) 96X; exia ad dollars 94." "iThe priee of silver fell in London to 534d ounce, which would reduce the gold value e 411% grain silver dollar here to 90 cents; paper dollar at the close of the day hav a gold value of 97 cents." fIre t Indeed a singular showing. Two ha.t dollars are worth 96% cents, and saiver dollar is worth only 90 cents.

With this Issue begins the third ulutnme of the DIMoonAtr, iuring the last two years the paper, linked in its fortunes with those of the people, has undergone all the vilelstudes of fortune. The aidle and chivalrous gentle man, Ool. Tyler, who first conducted its ~el umne, and one of its business managers, Mr. Win. Woelper, have passed away forever from the snene of their earthly labors. Of all the public spirited gentlemen who contributed to Its establlshment, but one Is now in any way connected with It. Much money was sunk in its establishment, and so desperate were Its fortunes at one time that for a week it sue pended publication. It owes Its existence and prosperity to-day, not to capitalists, but to .the people of New Orleans and Louisiana. Never was any public journal so clearly the birth of the popular heart. It owes its ex istence, its growth and present prosperity to the Democratic sentiment of Louisiana; and from the day of its first Issue to the present, it has never been recreant to that sentiment. It has been the pride of the conductors of the D1tMOe'RAT, under all circumstances, through all vicissitudes, and In every emer gency, to support the cause of the people and of the D)emocratl party. The lDEM)oRAT Is now read In nearly every household in this State, and It Is gradually finding its way into DemooratIc circles in Texas, Arkansas and Missiselppli Everywhere it is regarded as the representative of the interests of the people of Louisiana and of the Demncracy of the South, and we are proud to say that it has never dishonored itself by the advocacy of any ring, monopoly or faction. The polecy which the ItDEMOCRAT has so far pursued, It will follow In the future, There are great and radical reforms in our political and governmental systemn demanded by the publli interest and to the accomplishment of those reformns it will devote all its energies during the coming session of the Legislature and in the canvass of the fall of 1571. The DliMocnAT from a feeble and uncertain busIness enterprise, unknown and without capital, has developed into a great and pros perous newspaper. It numbers its readers by thousands and its power and Influence is felt and recognized everywhere. A few months ago it could scarcely hire a press on which to be printed or a reporter to gather the news for its columns. Now it owns and runs four steam presses; its reporters are In every part of the city, and Its correspondents are In half a dozen States. Thanking the public for the generous patronage which has made It what It is, the DEMOU!RAT recogninzee that it owes its success to the simple fact that it has been the honest and fearless friendl of the people of LouisIana. THE STATE NATIONAL BANK. The Flscln Agent. the State National Bank has ssueed notice to the holders of Louisiana consols that the payment of the January in terest on the consols will be anticipated on the 24th December, and that all holders of coupons may, on that and the following days, call at the bank in this city, or at the Bank of New York. N. B. A., in New York city, and cash their coupons on demand. This will be a convenience to the holders of coupons, who may desire tobe in fnndsbefore the first of January, It demonstrates, also, the resourres and confidence of the 8tate National Bank In the receipt of the taxes es pocially set aside to meet this interest and re I mnburse the bank for its advances. This con fldence has been inspired by the assurances of the Auditor and tax collectors in regard to the large receipts from collections. Consid ering the large strain upon the banks at present to afford the necessary facilities to our merchants in handling the large cotton receilpts in this city, and in the other opera tions of our commerce, this promptitude of the State National evinces its great re sources, enterprise and liberal spirit in main taining and furthering the credit of the State. The Boston Conmnercial Bulletin thinks that many of the diseases of to-day are owing, in large part, to the adulterated and poison ous candies eaten by us in our infancy. The manufacturers of confections have raised adulteration to the dignity of a science. The cheaper candles, sold at the small stores, where hundreds of tons are purchased by children each year, contain some of the most deadly poisons known; among them red lead, gambogeo, vermilion, chromate of lead, Prus sian blue, verdite or carbonate of copper, ar senate of copper, Brunswick green, the va rious oxides of iron, white lead, etc. Terra alba, a kind of clay, or white earth, is also very largely used in some qualities of candy, forming from 50 to 60 per cent of it. The manufacturers of these candlse seldom know the great injury they are doing in sell ing them. They know that the amount of poison in the candy eaten by one person is utterly insignificant, and that it would take a hundred times as much to kill any one, yet few of them are aware that almost all of those poisons are cumulative, and accumulate in the system, so that no matterhowsmall the quantity taken at one time, each addition re mains, the constantly growing mass working slowly and silently, producing even more deadly effects than large doses accidentally taken, whose results may be neutralized or affected by antidotes. Terra alba is one of the articles most used by dishonest confectioners. It was brought into use about twenty years ago, and used ex tensively during the war to adulterate articles for army consumption. It is used mostly in the composition of mixed candies and those cheaper chocolate creams of which children are so fond. The worst effects of the use of terra alba are the terrible diseases of stone and gravel, caused by the introduction of the earth in the system. The large increase in the number of people suffering from these dis eases of late is attributed by high medical au thorities to the introduction of this terrible ingredient into confectionery and simila r articles consumed in this country. "Glucose," or grape sugar, made not from grapes but from potatoes, is the name of another dangerous article used extensively in the adulteration of candies. It is used prin cipally as a substitute for gum arabic, being less than one-tenth that article in cost, and chiefly in making cheap gum-drops. It is most injurious in its effects, producing paralysis of various portions of the system, particularly the kidneys, where the effect is not only to paralyse them, but to turn them into a sugary substance; in other words, to produce Bright's disease, for which there is no known remedy. The coloring of candies is also often a dan gerous fraud, anline, a powerful poison, be ing used to produce red colors, chromium for A sw years ngo, the IEmiachusette Board oa eati.ai reld alsa ua ve isatn of the 1; rIel o tltorad mI npluS amlned, thbirtyIr contained lead, one meroury and one amenie and eopper, Thoee colored green and yellow were the most pnlmonoue, while the red col ored candles were almost entirely free fromt any poisonous compounds. The eucess of the new constitltition ,f (Ieor gla, which won praise on overy hand, was highly collplimentedl by the most ultra liHi leal papers and adopted by the people of (Georgia by a majority of nearly 70,(Omw, has ereatedi a strong desire among thon HMouth ern Htatoe still living under Itedical contiltu tlons to throw these (PIT and adopt new iones bettor suited to their people. In addition to the movement In thits ate, in favor of a new cons.ltittion, similar move' ments are now being discus\ed in both Mis ellsippi and Virginia. In Mississippi the press is almost unaniomoIuly against a con stitutional convention. The constitution be queathed by the liadicals of that Mtate Is one of the least objectionable of any of the crea tions of Itadleallem In the Mouth; and as the people of Misselisppi have had control of their own alTairs for somel years, they have amended tlit law so that It. is generally ao oeptable. The Jackson C(flrion, the ,llicial paper of the Btate, opposes a const,itultional con vention for many years to come, atnd at least nind-tentIhs of the papers that have ex p ressed views on titles subject have pro nounced against any change for the prl'o.t. In Virginia the convention movemenlt seems to have a larger following. (lov. ientper and quite a number of memnbers of the (leneral Assembly and newspapers have coment tlt in favor of a change in the State tolstitutlon. The opponents of this measure ill Virginia are fighting it most energetically. It may be stated that there is really no serioust objee tion to the present constitut.lon of Virginia, and that the convention, If called at all, will be called principally to arrange financial matters, settle tile question of the Mate debt, etc. As there is a serious division in IDenmo eratic ranks lit Virginla on these points, llch a convention woultld prove exceerlingly in jurious to the Demooratle ptarty and produetm a serious split in its ranks. 'Iht certainty of this will probablly defeat thme sggestliot n of (ov. K.eiper in favor of a new ronstitutionl for the ()ld IDominion. The failure of our Northern and WesRtrn mails has Ibecome chronic. In the past few months such a thing as a mall on time' hlW become so unusual as to be regarded as an absolute curiosity. This nuisance has len endured long enough and some renedlly must be found, Any large commercial city where the malls are uncertain and, six days in the week delayed, must suffer dllrect pecuniary loss and damage therefrom. It is imlpossible to carry on business transactions through the malla when they are as unr liableasours are. Chicago owes much of its commercial stand ing to ito fast mall lines with New York, which virtually reduce the distance betwmen these cities one half. We cannot. of course, expect such postal favors here. but we can at least have regular malls. We have published. from time to time. extracts from the various State papers, complaininig of mail irregulari ties. These have been explained in a hundredr different ways; low water. high water, failure of the poet nlde. ete,. The New Orleans malnls, however, are just as bad, anid wei don,'t even get explanations of these failures. In the past three months, the mals hiave failed at least a half a hundred times, We have looked in vain to find any chrontcle of an accident on the railroads; any freshet, storm or tornado to account for this. Theren have leHn none, no excuse in the world for these repleated failures. It is wholly Impossible for a city tA coll pete successfully for the control of the ctrm moerce of the country, which is, thanks to ir regular mails, farther from Ht. Louis than Man Francisco. Let us have )some improve ment in our Southern mail system. O)1hl Weller would have had eventll gratlr cause to warn Ham to " beware of wilders." had he lived in France. 'rThe returnts of the Frentch census, taken on the iIrst (lay of this year, makes a most remarkable, astolnishing atnd unexpected showing in the matter of widows. There are in France, so this census shows, ttsO.l19 widowers and 2,020,018. widows; that is, there are over two womon who have lost their husbands to every man who has lost his wife. How came all this about ? Statistics tell us that the two sexq are always even in any country; that the death rate of husbands and wives remains equal. How is It, then, that so many more husbands die In France than wives ? Here is a question of the greatest moment and Interest for some philosopher to solve. It is to be hoped that no other country is as sadly aflllcted in Ihe matter of widows as France; In that country there are only three wives to each widow. The marriageable single women amount to one million; so that there are two widows to each spinster. Is there any wonder that the girls of France have no show for husbands ? Another singular showing is the fact that there are 20,179 more married women than married men in that country. Who are the superfluous married women and where are their husbands? Are there really as many double married men as these in France; as many base wretches with wives who for swear them and declare themselves single men and bachelors ? On the other hand, there are 9,581,153 wo men, and only 8,(07,878 men in France who. have been married. That is, the women of France have 11 per cent better chance of getting married than the men. Ten women marry there to every nine men. This is by no means fair. DIED. TULLY-On Tuesday December 1s, 1577, at i1:40 a. m. Katie A. Clarke beloved wife of Thomas F.
