around and see what sort of Lumber the

The Carriage Maker may Lie, Boast or

secret of carriage making lies in the LUM-

To buy cheap Negro, Horse or Car.

Fredericksburg Herald denounces, with just severity,
the Saturday Evening Post which has most ex-
tensive circulation in the Southern States ac-
count of its literary pretensons and which has ro.
Gently betrayed the confidence reposed in it by bitter
and unrelentng attacks upon the rights and prac-
tces of the South. We concur with the Herald in
the opinion that the abolitioniss have Unidentified
the Post for any injury it might sustain at the South
from the appearance of such articles in its columns.
If Southern patronage can be continued to that pa.
per after this demonstration it will be Offering pre-
MUM by the South for the destruction of its own in

Why should Southern men patronize these NAM

in abolition and morals is often detestabe to the ex.
clusion of their own excellent periodicals?

By the way of New Orleans we have partial re-
turns of the election held in Texas the 9th inst
From the subjoined despatch, which appears in the
New Orleans Delta, it would seem that " Sam " has
had no showing in Texas:
GALVESTON, Aug 10-3, p. IMPARTIAL returns
from ten or twelve counties, embracing some know
nothing strongholds, indicate the election of the
entire democratic State ticket by large majority.
Galveston has elected John Henry Brown and
L. Sherwood, democrats, to the legislature by 1872
majority.
Brownsville Ro Grande) elects Latham and Nick
ellis, democrats, by large vote.
Harris county (Houston city, elects democratic
senator and two representatives by a large vote.
Fort Bend does the same.
Brazoria does the same.
Washington (where Sam Houston resides) elects
Warner Democra) and Gayles, Qknow-nothing)
Walker county elects know-nothing representa-
tive by 46 majority-Sam Houstons old home, and
where he made speech a few days before the cleo
ton.
In Walker Grimes, and Montgomery, Jesse
Grimes DemocraD is senator.
Liberty gives the Democratic ticket three to one
We copy the following from the Galveston Gazette
of the 7th instant-the day after the election:
The great struggle of yesterday, however hotly
through loyal appeal to the ballot-box. The Dem
ocracy and conservative wings of Galveston have
won the glorious victory; but while We rejoice we
would do SO in soberness and with becoming respect
for our opponents No indecorous exutatons were
heard; but deep and heartfelt joy pervaded our
party. Pease rolls up majority Of l95 in this city
Sherwood is 127 votes ahead of Col. Manly, and
Brown 1876; Howard falling but votes behind
Manly, and Brown but / behind Sherwood. The
vote at Clear Creek will probably increase the Dem
ocratc majority in the county.
The Democrats, after night, some 600 or ZOO
strong in men and boys, had grand torch-light
procession, calling upon the successful candidates
and many of our gallant leaders"
