The Comanche Chief, in re
ferring to the Tcx.is Congress
man, makes use of the following
slanderous, ill-timed and uncalled-for
assertions concerning
these honorable geutlemen:
' Cnlberson has not sufficient
calibre of irtelli'c-t to represent a
State like this; Giddings is not a
man of sufficient integrity to be
relied upon; TTancoek well we
may pass him by without com
ment; Rcnjrau is"a thorough dem
agogue, ot which ehia the people
aie anxious to become lid; and
Throckmorton is ditto, and also
-i tool of railroad monopolies."
The editor of the Chief is the
frst and only man we have ever
known to question the honesty
and integrity of the Hon. D. C.
Giddisgs. He certainly has not
the pleasure of ids acquaintance
or he could not bs induced to
mAe such unwarranted state
ments concerning-Col. Giddiitgs,
vlioo honesty, integrity and pa
triotism is unquestionable. Wo
arc fearful that in tills instincc
,bro. Fields has allowed prejudice
to usurp the power of reason,
hence his severe criticism, which
are unsustainable is this case by
FACT3.

Something Xcw.
Every day produces some
thing new, something to con
tribute to man's comfort and
happiness. A new aud impor
tant discovery has recently been
made by Dr. J. W. Davenport
of Dallas, and by him patented,
for preserving meats, vegetables
and fruits.
The papers of Dallas, where
the patentee resides, are loud in
th"ir praises of this new process
for preserving tho articles nam
ed. The beauty of the inven
tion is th.it it requires lio extra
cost to utilize it. The procoss
ib simple, and the cost may be
set down at nothiug, as one
dimewill cover the cost of clar
ifying a barrel of water for
the preservation of fruits and
vegetables.

We, the young ladies of Bay
lor Female College, wish to de
fend ourselves agaiut the state
uieuts made in the Ban tlb of
the 6th inst., by Dio Rivers,
with reference to occurrences x
Indopenceou the 1st of April.
In the fiitp'ace,as to the young
ladLs "charging down npou the
poor timid creatures" of Bay
lor University, ''with vengence
glaring from their eyes, swollen
with rage" terras of course en
tirely inapplicable to young la
dies there is evidently some
mistake on the part ot Dio
Rivers. While quietly enj'yr
ing our pleasant and approciat
ed holiday, wo were suddenly
awakened to the alarming fact
thatj the 'timid" boys were
hastily preparing for an attack.
Of courae retreat wis inevita
ble. History a-crihes to the
bra vestgeueials a similar course,
when thus attacked, unawares.
As to their glaring so insolently
ot bearing away the ''color-,"
San Jacinto's brave hero might
have been thus robbed of 'hi-,
fctnudard, h;id the oppntunity
ever been given the Mixie war
riors, to surprise his slnn.beriii!r
guard. Tho reply might here
be made, ''you should have been
watching," .e admit thi-; but
bec.ui-e by tho death of Lincoln
we were delivered from a ;nil
tyrant, do we sound tha nauu
of Booihe from pole to pole ?

It is becoming more and more
apparent, 'says the Williams
port Sun, that tho Southern
policy of Hayes is a blanket
not big enough to cover the
whole country. If he pulls the
blanket oft' from the South, the
North gets cold, and it he pulls
it off from the North, the South
gets cold. This is the defect of
a limited policy.
