CT Gen. Houston is the Know nothing can- didate for Governor of Texas. They are prov ing upon him now the charge that he was for seeking the protection of England and France, and opposed to annexation to the United States, after the rejection of the first proposal. He actually instructed his agents to make treaty with the European governments, pledging Tex as never to consent to annexation to this coun- try. This has been frequently hinted at before, but the proof seems conclusive, as given by Dr. A. Jones, who was then Secretary of State.- This is just what might have been expected. These bogus Americans are always for any for egn government in preference to the United States. Was it ever known to be otherwise? -NashviAs Union i. American.

FEMALE HERoIsM.-Among the note-worth

FEMALE HERoIsM.-Among the noteworthy incidents of the Montreal disaster was the sav- ing of her two children by Mrs. Bloomfield, whose husband is in the employ of the Grand Trunk Company at Toronto. She held to a rope with one hand, keeping the head of one child above the water with the other, and hold ing the other up by fastening her teeth in its dress. So heavy was the load that two of her teeth gave way and were lost, yet she still re- tained her hold At last boat came towards her, and men were screaming all around her to be taken aboard. She could not scream, but a man seeing her situation brought the boat to her, telling them she needed aid most. Then her strength gave away, at the prospect of relief and safety, and she came near drowning ere she could be lifted into the boat. She is slight delicate woman in appearance and one wonders how she was able to endure so much.-7 7Loy N r., Budget

DEATH OF COMMODORE NEwToN.-The fol- lowing notice of the death of this distinguished man, we clip from the Washington Union.- Commodore Newton was brother of the late Hon. Thos w. Newton of this city:
 Our community will not soon recover from the shock which it received yesterday after noon by the sudden death of Commodore J John T. Newton whose courtesy, accomplishments, bravery and gallant bearing in the most trying situations have added so much lustre to the American Navy. He was member of one of the Naval Courts of Inquiry now sitting in this city, and at the time of its adjournment at noon yesterday, appeared to be in the enjoy ment of his customary vigorous health.
 Commodore Newton entered the navy in 1909, and at the time of his death was about 65 years of age. Within few days we hay e been called upon to announce the deaths of Capt Henry, Lieut.. Decatur, and Lieut. Hare, and now the name of Newton is to be added to that band of departed spirits the recollection of whose heroic deeds will be long and warmly cherished by their grateful and admiring coun- trymen.

A MosT DISTRESSING ACcIDENT-Y ester day afternoon, Knox, the second son of our friend J. Knox Walker, esq, was thrown from his horse, and his foot catching in the stirrup, he was dragged for some distance, his head on the ground, until he was so much bruised and mangled, as to cause his immediate death. He was about ten or twelve years of age, and lad of amabe disposition and great promise.

ETHERIDGE OF TENNEssEE.-This indivi- dual of Know Nothing notoriety and black re- publican proclivities, has signaly failed to se- cure his reelection to Congress from the ninth Congressional district of Tennessee. He will not be suffered again to misrepresent and dis honor southern constituency at Washington city. He must be content, therefore, to live in seclusion, and to confne his traitorous efforts to the small neighborhood around him. He has been signally and deservedy rebuted-- and by very handsome majority, considering the Know Nothing character of the district.
 Etheridge, at least, is black republican, and with his talent and skill as a parliamentarian, he has proven himself dangerous councillor for the south. His course in Congress has en- deared him to his black republican allies, and he was to have been rewarded by their support for the speakership of the house of represen- tatives. Like Collum of the same State, who was elected by the black republicans of the last Congress as clerk of the House, Etheridge too, was to have his reward. Alas. for his hopes. Etheridge now lies too low to be reach- ed by their friendly hand. His constituency have consigned him to the merited disgrace of an eternal retirement So much for traitor and time-server.
 Every southerner must regard the defeat of Etheridge, and the election of Atkins, a nation al democrat, with exceeding joy. He was a dishonest, faithless, southern representative and disgrace to the people that clothed him with authority. He misrepresented them in every speech he delivered and every vote he gave. His association was with their enemies and his action was against their best interests. His shameful defeat is an evidence of their appre- citation of his conduct, and of their determina- ton to be correctly represented in the councils of the nation

He quietly went up u the offender, and tapping him gently on tho shoulder, said to him:
 "Ah. for that cursing and swearing, of whNl you have been guilty, will appear witness against you on that great day of judgment" i,
 "Oh, yes," said the carman to his clerIca. rebuker, the biggest rogue always turns kings evidence"

It will be seen, all newspapers of the 9th circuit are requested to insert the proc lamation until the day of election.

Dr. Cox says there is very little, if any, pure liquor in Cincinnati and Mir. Longworth thinks he Is an ass. On Saturday the case will be tried, whether Longworth's liquors must be submitted to Cox's analysis or not.

 Arrested on Charge of Forgery, or Fraudu.
 lent Procurement of Land Warrants.
 Or Monday last, by the U. s. Marshal James R. Buchanan, for several years resi- dent of this place. The development of facts management and tact of Mir. Minor, a clerk in the department of the interior, who was but short time since at this place "tahing notes"
 It seems that the government officials, have had for some time their eye upon the actions of Mir. B. in the land warrant business. What evidence can or will be adduced against the accused, has not as yet definitely transpired and 1t Is improper to forestall judicial action- II he is guilty, his punishment should be as severe as the law would allow, as his position as a lawyer not only enabled him to see more clearly than the more ignorant the hagraucy and consequences of his guilt, but his superior knowledge in legal affairs enabled him with more facility to swindle, at the same time to cover up the traces of guilt. But murder will out. It is due to the members of an honora- ble and learned profession and especially to the attorneys residing in Jacksonport, where Mr. B. has for several years resided, to say that they have at all times refused to recognize Mr. B. as being worthy, honorable member of the legal profession or of society.
 Since writing the above, we learn Mir. Bu- chanan made his escupe from the officers at Searcy, while on their way with him to Little Rock

or We put it to our worthy confrere of the True Democrat, to say whether his reply to our question, what has the south gained by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise" is ex- actly the fair thing. He knew full we'll that the acting editor of this paper was expressing his own opinions on the subject, and for which he alone was responsible" Tote fair."-G Gu sette.
 To our neighbor's question, what has the south gained by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise" we replied by referring him to the back numbers of the Gazette, when that paper advocated the repeal. We thought this reply legitimate and fair, because we thought Capt. Danley was good authority with the pro tem. editor. It seems, however, that such is not the case-our neighbor has no confidence in Capt Danley's logic-and, therefore, relies upon us. We must then answer. By the re- peal of the Missouri Compromise the south re- gained tor her citizens their right to enaigrate aoih their slaveS to the territory lying north of 1a- ttude 36 deg. 30 m,in.
