fc ; ' V v ' ' I'" ' ^ Cijc Messenger. t-:. ' Entered at the poatoffice as 2nd-clasa matter i TUESDAY. October 19, 188(5. I (TPflCMFTlOlt $5 00 J REFUTATION. I Charges of corruption and extravagance Jiave been wade against the State government within the last twelve months. No one has believed the charge of corruption, and jt has fallen flat and ptill-barn. Some have been misled by general charges of extravagance. Hut ( the speechos of Col. Richardson, candidate for Governor, and the writings of those familiar with the facts, prove that there is no foundation for such charge.-. In {rb?t do they allege tfrat the extravagance exists? Says someone, in "the .creation of new;,.offices." Let us s-c what new offices have been created. First, t&e Commissioner of Agriculture. Through the efforts of that office the phosphate royalty has-been y.asjly inffmMpd and th? tax on ?uano more than pays the expenses of the office, whilst it protects the farmer from fraud anil .imposition: 2d. The Railroad Commission. - No body has been th? object of ...jnope misstatement and misrepresentation than anyother department we know of. As matter of fact and truth, the , State does not pay a dollar for this office. The ezpensos thereof are paid by the railroads. 3d. The office of Mas- , ter has beon created for some of the .counties. The fees of the office are |>aid by litigants, and do not come out of the county. The fees of references are rpduced by the- establishment of this office, and the business of the courts "... fa greatly facilitated. 4th. The office of Supervisor of Registration has been created. The first year this cost $17,000, Now it costs about $3,600 a year. That's vjrtrat&gance with a vengeance. Is there jui-honest disingenuous man who would do away with the eight-box law and '' registration, and go baok to the old nraivft of r.arrvinc elections. Well, there ? have been no other officers croated that , ^ - we remember, so there is no exjtraya V ' .gance there ! But it is said appropriations are. made for the University and the"Citadel.' That's true, but how much? Jn rbfancf humbert, forty thousand dollars: And we say on behalf of the poor 1 boys of this State, that that is not extravagance, but a grand and noble econPipy. And so it goes. The comparison bad been made between }878 and subsequent years baaed upon the tax levy for JLnose years. In 1878 the public debt of jtbe State was under investigation in the ' courts and no interest thereon was levied. . Since then the interest has been collected ?nd levied, and still tf>e rate ot taya. lion is not higher. , It is wrong to fill our poople with the jdca that the government is unworthy of . .their support, When every fact and figure proves that since 1876 the government ?ias been honestly, faithfully, and eco .nomicallvgadmimstcrcd.

J)o not clamor against the system because of its defects, for it will do no good, but let us try to popularize tho system. Iy?t us try hy showing more interest in .our public schools, to encourage the jQfifccrp at the head of the system, to .gMqqr.?$u>est efforts to remedy its de .fee*#.. ft $ias its good points. Let us ahoF them up. -School officers, from Superintendent to trustees, too often shoyr sq little interest in matters pertaining .to public schools, that it naturally discourages those who are inclined to favor it. No map should accept the position of truster. he is willing to attempt something for the improvement of the schools of his townships. True it is, they get no pay for it, but it ought to ;be a nutter of patriotism with them. ' Would it not he a good idea, for township*, to elect their trustees? It could . be done at a mass meeting of the citizens of each township with very little trouble and it certainly would arouse an inter*?Kt in the nutter. Man is naturally am* bitioun, and when placed ia a position of *fust by the .votes of the people, to whom he feels responsible, would in nine cases out of ten, make a more efficient and painstaking officer, thpn if merely appointed, possibly on account of a personal preference for him, by the BDDointinz power. We would like to seo the system more popular with tho masses and wo etrnest1 f deprecate tho throwing of cold water upon it. YVc understand that the Superintendent of Education elect, Col. Rice, has views very simiuilar to the above, and with his enthusiasm, we predict a general revival in public school matters. SOCIAIj KQUAL.1TY. Master Workman l'owderly is coming South to organize the negroes. 'j'he Labor Congress at Richmond practically endorsed social equality. Preaching that doctrine, Mr. l'owderly will come here. The next step will bo ,4 political organization." Cannot a blind man see the consequences ? Is this, then, a time lor division, suspicion, and bicker* ing in our ranks? Mr. AKram S. Hewitt, son-in-law o Now York's great philanthropist, Peter Cooper, 1ms been endorsed by the united Democracy of Now York for Mayor of that city. It will be a pretty fight between Hewitt nnd George, and no man can foretell the result. Mr. Allen Thomdyke Kice has been making an ass of himself because Mr. Phelps, the Minister at the Court of St. James, refused to present hitn to the Prince of Wales. Mr. Rice is the editor of the North American Review, and he allowed an anonymous correspondent to write an abusive and scurrilous articte against Mr. Bayard, who is Mr. Phelp's superior officer. Mr. 1 h dps did right not to present him. Mr. W. Pinckney Starke was well known to many.of us, and when his death was announced a few days since there was a sigh of regret from many a heart. Mr. Starke was gifted with no ordinary intellect and possessed of fino literary taste and attainments. At tho time of his death ho was engaged in gathenng data for a life of John C. .Calhoun. He died at Fort Hill, Mr. Calhoun's old home. A Tftxas Towu Washed Awajr. Gai.veston, Oct. 14.?The town of Sabine Pass, at the mouth of Sabine River, the dividing line ^between Louisiana and Texas, is reported to be entirely washed away by the terrific storm of Tuesday night. Over fifty lives are reported to be lost out of a totnl population of 100. All telegraphic communication with town is cut off. Sabine Pass is sixty miles up the coast from Galveston and twenty-eight miles South-west of Beaumont, the County seat of Jefferson County, U is thought that the bar in front of the town Will prevent any tugs from landing, and the owners of tugs here regard it as useless to attempt to enter the treacherous channel since the storm. Another report says that during the overflow a hotel containing fifteen or twenty persons was swept out into the bay and all the occupant* were drowned. particulars of the disaster. Blaumont Trxar, Oct. 14.?1.30 A. M,?Our town was in a statt of intense excitement to-night at news just received from Sabine Pass. It !b news of terrible lost* of life and destruction of property at that place from hicrh wntor. We hare no telegraphic communication with Sabine Pass, as the wires are all down; but an engine arrived here tonight orer the Host Texas Railroad that loft there about G o'clock. Two citizens, who rowed in a small boat across the expanse of angry, a distance of several miles, from the town of Sabine to the railroad track, camo in on the engine and gave heart-rending account of the affair. They say the waters began to invade the town from the Gulf and the lake together about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and rose with unprecedented rapidity. The citzens of the doomed place did not realize the imminent danger until it was too late to escape. When scfcty by flight was recognizud as being out of the question, the people w ho were situated so they could do so botook themselves to houses and other rosorts which they, judged to be safe. The water kept rising, and between 3 and 4 o'clock the smaller houses began to yield to the resistlero forco of the wavos, which not only mcved them from their foundations, but turned them orcr on thttir fttflna tnd tl\r\a A lL .... .?|fb. n niiiic later lilt' larger houses began to give way, and death by drowning seemed in Rtoro for every person in the place. With the yielding of the smaller houses* several persons who had remained in them were drowned* and jrhen the residences and business places began to crumble the fatality began to double. The following list of the drowned was obtained from three gentlemen who came in on the engine: Miss Mshala Chambers, Jim Vondy and family of six the wife of Otto Brown and two children; Homer King, wife and child; Mrs. Junker and son; Mrs. Pom?roy and family of Ave; Mrs. Stewart, daughter and son ; a man by the name of Wilson; Mrs. Arthur McKeynolis, Mrs. McDonald, daughter and grsndson. Frank Milligan arid family; Columbus Martin ana laraiiy; about twonty.five colored parsons whose nanio could Jiot be learned The abore list eauspriscs over flftjr human .tiecims of the storm?among them some of the leading families of th place. There are others, and many c them doubtless drowned without an; one living knowing anything about ii It is feared that whole families in differ ent places havo been swept away with out leaving a vestige of their fate. In is said that the situation during th latter part of tho afternoon beggared dc scription. The manifestation of terro and agony by people looking face t face at death, and realizing that ther was no escape; the dying cries of womei audihlu but rendered almost noiseless b; the roar of the mad sea; the hoars voices of pallid men, trying to sav those dear to them?atl combined mnd a scene too horrible to be descrabed. On recept of this news the citizens <] Beaumont immediately begun preparn tion for the relief of the sulTerers. Th East Texns Railway bus placed an engiti at thuir disposal, mid a party of iui.' have gone to procure a boat and star to the scene of the disaster. The dam age to propel ty is very great. Th wharf property of the town was ownc by New* York cnpitalstx, who also owi the adjoining lands, and were aiming t make Sabine 1'ass an important point o the Gulf coast. "Why Children Leave the Farm We commend to the consideration c our reader* some thoughts of Adeline i in the liural JVeio Yorker, as to wh so many of our youths are eager t leave the farm instead of following th calling of their fathers and mothers, li the tirst place, they are not brought u to love the country ; they are early ac customed to hear both father and inolhii grumble about the hardships of farr life. Then there is too much work an t ?o little play lur them. The boy work in the Iteid all day, and his little ot poriuuity for amusement in the evenin is cut short by a long range of "chores till bed time; meanwhile Lite sister ha much the same exprience in the houa And no agricultural college in the lan will restore what their parents hav blindlyallowed th?:in to lose.
