A SOLID SOUTH.
There at'e those amongst the"
politicians ot the JJouth, who
think that solidity in political
sentiment of oilrpeopleis not the
best thing that could happen to
us. These wiseacres reason
tiiu: a solid South will insure a
solid Ifcn-th. This is by no
moans a uecessarj colollary.
Tho northern -people like the
Southern, desire to perpetuate
tho government, and to have
that government more within
the orbit presciibed for it by
the constitution. The North
ern people, like tho Southern,
desire economy in 4 public ap
propriations, .and sometbingapr.
prosiinating honesty inits ex
pendature. The North and the
South are now in full accord,
if the' only understood each
other, on questions on which
before the war, they were divid
ed. The South has accepted in
swod faith, and withonti the
slightest reservation, the results
of "the war, with all that rinay
have been distaseful in those re-,
Tsults, as contemplated from an
ante-bellum, "stand point

Tlie scarecrow of another" re
bellion, so-called, may do to
Irighten people ignorant of'
Sontbertt sentiment and Souths '
ern feeling, but every one who
understands these, "knows that
the people of the South have
no other motive in acting solid
than to use the utmost exertions
to restore tbe government to
something approaching its pris
tine integrity. In this, task,
when tho South is understood,
IfieTNortfilviir cordially co-op-crate
with her.
Hen 'ot the JBlaine-Butler
school, like Wendell Phillips,
may lngliten a tew snperani
oiated. men hy the specious cry
of "sce behold the South is
again a unit I Ve shall iavo the
war' Ibr'tho Union to fight
over!" But the day is past
when snch'twaddle can mislead
Northern people. They are be
ginning to see that the South
realizes 1ier true interest to fie
that peace and quiet which
good government alone can
give.
Unt because it is the object of
the South to try- to build up
her waste places, as it certainly
is her best interest to do, we
see no necessity for her to bo
slobber Mr. Hayes with fulsome
praise becanse he has hadthe
graeia to remove the U. S.
troops from the capilol of a
Stato where they should never
have been stationed, and
which their presence defiled.
Becanse the heel of military
despotism has boon partially
removed from the necks of those
on wnom it never should have
been placed, we fair to see any
occasion for praising the Presi
dent torctliQ act: The truth is
the Northern people are as much
interested as are the Southern,
in having the military subordi
nate to the uivil authority, and
in having a recognition ot this
fact illustrated by an example.
Timid folks' may quiet their
fears. There is no danger that
the Blaine-Butler school of pol
iticians will be able to ''fire the
Northern heart" by the cry of a
united Sonth, simply because
her sons seek, by a unanimity
unparallclled in the history of
politics, to restore tho govern
ment to something like honesty
and integrity.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Several of the " 'Washington
correspondents of Western pa
per3, assert that a combination
has been entered into with ccr
taiu Southern gentlemen, by
which Mr. Garfield, thcpaiticu
lar friend and right hand bower
of President tlayes, is to bo
elected to the Speakership of the
next House. We are 6low to
believe anything so damaging to
Southern honor as this asser
tion, if trne, would indicate. It
is eveu soid that Gov. Hampton
is a party to such a nefarious
birgaiu. Thi3 too, we regard as
a base slander, ills laurels
have Been too clearly won, lliey
are entirely too green and
flourishing, and too highly prized
by himself, for them to be tar
nished and withered, as they
certainly would be, should he
be a party to anything so repre
hensible aud so much to be rep
robated. Tho Southern Democrat who
would dare to engage in an in
trigue sorcpnlshc to Southern
sentiment and feeling, would
have a constituency to face,
'whose indignation he, could
never appease.
The political infamy that
would attach to such a corrupt
banrain, we arounwilling to
believe Mr. Hayes' capable ot
assuming, notwithstanding he
has exhibited a very fair share
of the spirit of Tallygraud in
Pi evidential diplomacy.
Those who think the late
Presidential canvass Lad no
greater significance than who
should be President for the next
four years, Tildeijr Hayes, are
greatly mistaken in the spirit
that actnated the peonle, no
matter what may liave been the
object of a few office seeking
politicians. The- people were
moved to action by motiies
somewhat higher than the de
termination of who slionld dis
pense a few paltry offices. "We
know that the struggle and
paramount motive with many
blatant politicians-is for nothing
short of 'seven "principles "five
loaves and two- fishes," to be
found no wherj but in an office.
"Wo have no fear that any of
the Texas delegation will ever
bully their records by being par
ties to a transaction certain to
consign all the participants in it,
to the tomb of the Capulets.

As it has been a custom in
Brcnham with officers of the
law, especially policemen, to
pound, assault . and maltreat
prisoners in making arrests, 'we
append' the following decision
ot the Court of Appeals io a
case ot this nature. We do not
pretend to acense the present
efficient police force with being
guilty of such acts, but that
such treatment has been wit
nessed upon our streets not
many months since,.no one will
deny. Here is the decisions

they intend to acquit them

The Celebration br the Houston
Fire Department.
A DAY Or PLEWURE, FUN AND
1'KOLIO.
On Friday evening at4 o'clock,
the Senior, in company with a
dozen others of the Brenham
Hook aud Ladder Company,
took the down train, of winch
our trenial young friend, J. D.
Peterson is conductor, for Hous
ton, ostensibly for the pnrpose
of participating in tho grand
parade and celebration of the
Houston Fire Department.
At Hempstead we were re
ceived in grand style by the
Hempstead Hook and Ladder
Boys, conducted to flic" City
Hotel, and pivcin a severe
'punching." Returning to the
depot platform the Representa
tives of tlie Fire Department
of Waco and Bryan, who had
jnst arrived on the dow n train
of the Central, were cordially
received and treated in a like
manner. That veteran fireman
and gallant gentleman, Col. J.
T. Griffin, acting as m.ister of
cerenijnies, proposed a health
to the visiting firemen, which
was drank amidst continued
cheers. J G. Rankin, of tlie
Breuham H. & L. Co., then
proposed the toast; "To Col. J.
T. Gritfin, Chief of tho Hemp
stead Fire Department may he
never grow older," -which was
drank with, three cheers and a
tiger.
At thia jnncture in the pro
ceedings, the stentorian voice of
the conductor was heard to ring
out "all aboard," and we board
ed. Nothing interesting hap
pened between Hempstead .and
Houston, save the general merry-making
ot the boys, includ
ing Thornton of the Galveston
jVeics, all of whom -seemed to
be rather mellow.
At Houston, wc were met by
the Fire Department with two
splendid bands of music, aud
escorted to the Club Rooms on
Fannin street, Vhcre we were
treated to an elegant champagne
punch and genuine Havana ci
gars. A line was again formed
and an announcement made
that Tom Prindle had things
arranged to give the boys an
other good punching, all of
which they didn't seem to mind
at all; in fact some of the fire
men dared Tom to keep the
business np all night. Thi3 is
said to the first dare Tom was
ever known to take quietly.
After leaving the Revolving
Liirht Saloon, we were marched
to the Ilutchins House, where
II ooi bach had a rood square
meal in waiting, to which the
boys did ample justice.
At S o'clock Saturday morn
ing the procession was again
formed and niurchcd to the Ccn
tral depot to receive Gov. R. !B.
Hubeako, the orator of the day.
Here- we were joined by the
Military companies, which by-the-bj-,
are a. splendid looking
body of men. The Governor
w as placed in an open carriage
and driven to the club" room?,
followed by the brigade of fire
men, amidst the fluttering ot
banner-, the cheers of the mcr
ly firemen and strains of excel
lent music. After the goblets
had been filled with spaikling
Champagne. Col. Griffin, ot
Hempstead, proposed a toast, :
"The health of our worthy Gov
emoi the light man iu the
riir,ht place," which was follow
ed by three cheers for the Gov
ernor. Tlie Goieinor in replf said:
"GjfKitlcnicu : Allow me to
present to you a sentiment or
toast in 'response to the cry
flattering sentiments of un
friend. Allow me to say that
when he aid 'tfie i igbt man in
the rigTit place,' I pro-aime he
meant that I tilled tho chair as
well as any man. If, gentle
men, it is my good fortune to
fill it iu other i aspects .is I shall
labor to do, it will afford ma the
highest -.iti-fiction. I propo-e

by thd firemen.
The procession returned to
the Ilutchins Itouse, where a
rest oHialf .in hour was had
when tlie procession was again
formed, the Governor, Hon. De
uias Barnes, Mayor Wilson and
Major Lambert, the Governor's
Aid, ocenpying a cainag'd at
tho head, drawn by four splen
did black horses. The streets
through which the procession
passed were liiicd with with peo
ple, the balconies, galleries and
windows alive with people in
holiday attire. The firemen
had their banners flying In the
pleasant sorith wind, their en
ginns and trucks elaborately clS
namented with flags and flow
ers. Arriving at tho Fair Grounds
the Firemen betook t.ieii'selves
to the pleasing task of pleasure
making, until the hour of
speaking was announced. Mr.
Hutchinson took the stand, and
in a witty, pleasing ni.d happy
manner, delivered the welcome
address to the visiting firemen,
after which he ititrodiit'erl Gov.
Hubbard, who.delivered an able
and excellent speech, applicable
to the day. Hon. Dcnias Barnes
was net introduced and pro
ceeded to aildrcss the guests,
after which dinner was announc
ed, and the visiting firemen
were conducted to Floral Hall,
where tliey were invited to par
take of a splendid dinner, got
ten up expressly for their bene
fit. The balance of the e ening
was consumed in target-slioot-ing,
l oiler skating, trial tests ot
engines etc. At 5:30 o'clock
dancing jgas announced as in
order, which was freely partic
ipated in by the visitingfitemen,
all of whom seemed to be per
fectly happy, and they had a
right to feel happy, for tho
beauty and fascinating smiles of
the Houston ladies are perfectly
irresistablc.
Taken altogether, the occa
sion is one Ions to bo remem
bered. The hospitality and
generosity extended us by the
Honston Fire Department and
citizens generally are worthy ot
all praise and appreciation.
THE' RETURN.
At six o'clock Sunday, even
ing a procession of Houston
fire-fighters was again formed
who performed the pleasing task
of conducting their guests to the
train, where we bid them fare
well amidst deafening yells.
When wo had reached Cypress
station, the announcement was
made that those generous-heart
ed whole-souled Houston boys
had actually provided us with
several baskets of champagne.
Toasts aud wai in wishes were
then in order as the sparkling
beverage rapidly disappeared.
At Hempstead Gov. Hub
bard was called for and made
a few happy, witty and pleasing
rcmaiks. Thus ended the fes
tivities ot the occasion.
