It is ch irged by some of the
ultra Republican papers that the
reaction of the last year or two
reminds the Ireeduien of the old
days of slavery. The colored
man no longer sits in the lygis
Lit me to make laws tor bio for
mer niasrer, and fill his pockets
with money paid for bribes. In
short he has to work for a living,
and with some of the colored
people the idea of fieedom and
work is incompatible. Because
of thi feeling Iherc is an active
inurement going on in the States
where the freedmeu predomi
nate, looking to an exoJm to
the l.md of equality and liberty,
Liberia. The St Louis Repub
lican 6ays it the freedmau wants
any more or better "equality"
than what he has here, by all
means let him go to Africa and
find if. Negro supremacy in
this conntry is dead, nerer to
live again; &nch performances S
those in Sonth Carolina and
Louisiana, from 1S67 to 1S77
will never be re-enacted. The
negro has all the 'i:ghts" he
will ever get It conclude:
''It he is not satisfied in Ameri
ca. Liberia will welcome him
with open arui6 to a hospitable

Is It Degrading!
The Dallas Horning Call is
opposed to the establishment of
the whipping -p it in this State,
on the ground that "the object
ot punishment for law-brcakeis
is not so -much to degrade them
as it is to reform them." It
may begranted th it this is true,
but it the present means of
punishment, the county jail
and the penitentiary, prove as
they have, to make the offen
der worse iustead ot Letter, is
it not rLiht and proper that
some other means be resorted
to? Experience his proven be
yond any doubt that a large
majority of the graduates from
the penitentiary come out worc
than when they went in. "With
a certain class ot trifling freed
meu it is esteemed an houor to
have served a term in "the peni
tentiary. It gives the cx-con-vict
caste. He is looked upon
as being particularly smirt, and
is, to a certain extent, "treated
asal.cro. It makes no differ
ence if he has been convicted
of n common theft, or the raon
exalted calling of horse and
cattle stealing. It might, per
haps, be well enough to bury
all mawkish lentimentality upon
this subject, and assume that
when a party is guilty of coin
ting an offense that he has al
ready fallen to the lowest grade
of depredation, and that if the
whipping-pjst will cure him his
reformation will hare been ac
complixhed, and thus it will be
a reformatory institution in
stead of one promotive of dogre
rcdation. The Galveston Jonrnal of
Commerce calls attention
to th: tact that the cinning of
oysters and fish is as profitable
a business as can be engaged in
with a small capital. Oysters-and
fish are both abundant in GalTes
ton vet there is no one there
engaged in .he business. The
quantity of coined goods sold in
Texas is absolutely enormous.
They form a considerable item
in the sale of every dealer in
groceries. Vegetables such as
peas com and snap beans could
and should be canned in Texas
where they are produced iu un
limited quantities.
From the Galveston Civilian
of a recent date wc learn that a
large drore of fine and tat hogs
from the interior were shipped
to New Orleans by a Morgan
steanu r. A few days ago the
Bassek took occasion to say
that by the improved modes ot
packing, hogs are slaughtered at
nil seasons ot the year. New
Orleans affords a larger market
tor fat hogs than will probably
be supplied by Southern Texas
for several years to come. Tntr
fact, howover, exporting hoes
from the southern part ot the
State, instead ot importing
bacon, is certainly encouraging.
