Samuel D. Irwin. Chairman.
Tionesta, Pa., Feb'y 11, 1884.
Josef McDonald is in Washing
ton, for tho purpose, it is suspected, of
telling the horizontal reductionists that
they have made a mess of it.
The Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Dem
ocratic Congressman for this State,
gets a little boost for the Presidjncy
over in Jefferson county, the boys
having recently instructed their dele
gates to the State convention for him.
. Tiie Augusta, Georgia, Chronicle
is of the present opinion that stranger
things have happened than would bo
the nomination of the Hon. Samuel J,
Ranball for the Presidency. That is
true. The Democrotic party nomina
ted ureely. There would be a little
propriety in nominating Randall,
there was none in making Greely
their standard bearer. Randall only
differs from his party in his pretended
protection principles. But from his
.first political action putting Fernan
do Wood at the head of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, for instance
his protection principles are not
even skin deep.
Little Eaton, ofConnecticnt, who
objected to the Philips resolution, did
so, not because it conflicted with any
rule of the House or violated any well
established parliamentary precedent,
but because Philips iu his day and
generation did so much to destroy
American slavery, the corner stone of
the confbderecy Eaton was so anxious
his friends should succeed in erecting.
Any ODe who was conspicuous during
the war for loyalty to the Government
incurred thereby the undying hatred
of all the copperheads of the North
little and big and they leave no
opportunity pass without manifesting
it.
Daniel W. Voorheeh, who is press
ing bis bill to make it penal for office'
holders to contribute to political pur
poses, is in favor of Payne, and oc
' what does the Payne boom rest?
. Money nothing but money. Payne
t has a fortune, his sons have another
' the Standard Oil Company a score at
their disposal. Tilden furnishes moo
ey at the New York end. Willia
m
L. Scott, another Payne man, is not
unfamiliar with the use of money in
politics , Mr. William H. Barnu
will be found not far from the front
whea it comes to carrying Connecti
cut for Payne by the free use of nion
ey. II. B. Payne, by the testimony
of his own party, has already bought
one office, fhe Dtmocratio party ex
pects to ask him to buy another,
through an expenditure whose like h
not been seen in American politics.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Ed. Republican : As I sit in my
shirt sleeves with the window and
door open I cannot help thinking how
much pleasanter this climate is in
winter than that in the Keystone
State. Men are to-day wearinjr straw
bati and linen dusters, women are
carrying fans and parasols while the
delicate dude may be heard to ex
claim Ibat it is "deuced hawtye knaw."
The farmer is plowing and sowing, the
cow-boy is feeding his kine upon the
verdant grass and the spring poet is
abroad in the land.
San Autonia is one of the old
est cities in the United Staeti, it
being formally laid out in the year
1682, or at the same time that Will
iam Penn and bis followers founded
the- city of Philabelphia. It was
chartered as a city by the King of
Spain ov6r 150 years ago, and it now
presents many interesting relics of
antiquity to the lover of tho old and
curious. The streets of the city are
extremely narrow and as crooked as
the tracks as a Star Route politician.
Like all cities of castilliau origin,
San Antonia is not without its plazas,
or public squares, of which there are
three, respectively designated as the
Main, the Military, and the Alamo
plaza. Tho city abounds in many
ancient buildings of Spanish con
struction, but within the past few
years a large number of fine business
bloeks and private residenpee have
been erected in the latest style of ar
chitecture. San Antonia has a popu
lation of about 32,000 but during the
winter season this is augmented by
at least 5,000 persons who come here
from the north and' east. The ener
getic Spanish Catholics who first set.
tied this country have left many en
during monuments in tho shape of
missions which were erected by their
Indian converts and used both as
places of worship and as fortresses of
defence against their enemies. There
are several of these ancient structures
in and about this city, but the one
around which clusters the greatest
historical interest is the celebrated
Alamo, in the defence of which the
gallant Davy Crocket and his noblo
compatriots lost their lives. The
history of this remarkable defence is
familiar to all, and as an exhibition
of human bravery and patriotic devo
tion it should certainly be ranked
with Thermopylae. Of the 182 fear
less men who assisted in this heroic
defence not one was spared to tell the
tale, but it cost tho lives of at
least 2000 Mexicans to accomplish
the capture of the Alamo. The rec
ords in this famous mission show that
it was founded in the year 1703 by
the order of St. Francis, and although
now over 180 years old, it is at pres
ent in a fair state of preservation, and
its massive walls of stone are as firm
as when first erected. The several
churches of the city frequently hold
festivals within the sacred walls o
this old building, and on the occasion
of my visit the place was strewn with
wilted wreathes, semi-petrified sand
wiches, and other evidences of an
ecclestical frolic. The Alamo has
given a name to so many organizations
and business firms of San Antonia
. I. A -i 1 i -t ..r.. ..
that it has been nicknamed "The Ala
mo City." Next to the Alamo, in
point of interest, is the Cathedral of
San Fernando, which is situated be
tween Main and Military plazas. The
front part of this enifice has bsen
recently rebuilt, but the rear has stood
for over a century. A few miles be
low the city are to be seen the mis
sions of Espanda, San Juan and sev
eral others that are somewhat more
ancient than the "Sage of Greystone."
A mile north of the city are situated
the militery post and supply depot
of the United States army for the
department of Texas. San Antonia
was selected by the Spaniaids as a
military post in the year 1716. Af
terwards it was used for tbe same pur
pose by the Mexicans, then by the
United states, next by the Confederacy
and again by the United States.
This city has become a great health
resort, and many persons come here
from the north to spend the winter.
The San Pedro Springs, which are
within the city limits, afford a most
excelleut place for recreation and the
water is said to possess eplecdid me
dicinal qualities. It appears to a
casual observer, however, that more
go theie to imbibe "Budweisser" from
the haud of a williug caterer than to
drink of the healing water of San
Pedro Springe. Allow me to state
parenthetically, that "Budweisser" is
to the Southwest what "Ph. Best" is
to tho East.
San Antonia is situated in a lati
tude about fifty or one hundred miles
farther south than TSt. Augustine, Fla.,
and although oranges are not cultiva
ted here to any great extent, it is said
that tliey can be grown as successful
ly as in Florida. The great trouble
with the poople of Texas is that they
are too much like Adam and Eve be
fore the apple episodo took place
extremely shiftless. It is so easy
for a Texas farmer to exist without
much labor that he seems to have
grown careless about providing any
thing but the bare necessities of life
for himself and family. A northern
man is surprised to see how the farm
ers of this State live. The farm
houses are low, dirty, unpainted,
frame buildings, often without glass
in the wiudows and rarely provided
with any of the modern conveniences.
"Hog and hominy," with an occasion
al feast of bread and raolassess, corn-
price the menu of the Texas farmer's
daily billof-.are. The floors of his
house aro uncarpeted and his victuals
are cooked over an old-fashioned fire
place, the chimney of which is built
on the outside of tbe house. The walls
of his house are unadorned with pic
tures or ornaments of any kind and
his furniture is of the most primative
design. His wife and daughter in
dulge in the filthy habit of chewing
snuff, while he and bis sons devote
what spare change they can mus
ter to tbe support of tbe neihbor
ing ealoonist. The Texas farmer does
not waste auy money on the education
of bis children, tho planting of fruit
trees on his farm, the beautifying of
his home, the purchase of useful books,
or in any other extravagant way, but
he regularly deposits it with the bank
er who stauds behind the bar or sits
beside the gaming table. Alas, that
this is true of 6o many men every
where ! There are exceptions to all
rules, aod of course there are many
exceptions to this one, but a careful
consideration for the truth compels
me.to state that for dowuright lazi
ness, abject poverty and general tie
pravity the avetage Texas firmer has
no equal among the tillers of the soU
in the other States. I would like very
much to pay a gallant compliment to
theludiesof the "Lone Star States,"
but unless it be an accomplishment to
dip snuff, to whitewash the faco or to
be extremely ignoraut, I cannot pay
much of a compliment to the women
oi lexas. nere again mere are man-
ny exceptions to tbe rule, but in the
estimation of one who modestly
claims to have investigated the sub
ject to some extent, the average girl
of the North is worth a dozen times
as much, both mentally and physic
ally, as her siBter of tlfc "Sunny South."
f do not doubt that ultimately Texas
will be us tar advanced in civilization
as any state in the Union, but until
the laudlords cease to light me to
bed by the dim glare 'of a flickering
caudle, I shall think it their etate
is either behind the times or. else that
the Standard mouopuly discrimiuatea
unjustly against it.
Texas is making great progress,
and those who have lived here a few
years are satisfied with the present
. . -
when they compare it with the past,
but there is surely much room for
improvement. The school fund of so
maoy million acres of laud must be
brought into practical use.so there may
be free schools everywhere instead of
there being almost none as at present.
Immigration of the best classes of
society must be attracted by friendly
invitation and substantial induce
ments. The pistol and the shotgun
must give way to the spelling book
and the grammar. The Texas farm-
er must become more industrious,
more intelligent and more temperate
raisii-j more crops and less devil
tryand then will Texas take the
exalted staod atoong the galaxy of
slates to which its productive soil, its
salubrious climate and its vast extent
i . ...
oi territory entile it.

San Antonia, Texas, Feb. 5th '84.
Some of the Washington correspond
euts are again in distress. They tbink
there ought to bo Cabinet changes and
yet they do not come. They know so
much better thau President Arthur
how he ought to run his admiuisjra
tion to make it popular, that the sur
prise is he does not remove the pres
entincumbeuts and fill the Cabinet
with correspondents.
