DEHoMlHATl0EAL OXEN IN TEXAS,

Texas is great State. Il has not
only large, growing. mixed population
EVERY variety Of climate and soil, game
and stoek-but lis very oxen have be-
come denominational, if not sectarian, in
name, character and spirit In proof OF
this we give the following incident.
A minister, travelling along the road,
met stranger driving his wagon, which
was pulled by four oxen As the minis
ter approached, he heard the driver say,
:. Get up, Presbyterian y Gee, Camp
bellite!' Haw. Baptist p aWhat are
you doing. Methods, !" The minister
struck with tho singularity of such names
being given to oxen, remarkeds
Stranger you have strange names
for your oxen, and wish to know why
they had such names given TO them"
The driver replied, Il call the lead
OK in front Presbyterian, because he Is
.rile blue. and never failsi he beli..p.= in
paifF'ig .LAeneL avery 3ifileuH place.,
persevering to the end, and then he knows
more tha all the rest. The one by his
side call Campbellite; he does very
well when you let him have his own
way, until he sees water, and then all
the world could not keep him out of it,
and there lie stands, as if bis journey was
ended. This of OK, behind, is real
Baptist, for be is all the time after water
and will not eat with the others, but i

then on the other, aud at everything thai
comes near him. TIE other which
call Methodist, makes great noise and .
great do, and you would think that b,
was pulling all creation, but he don't pul
a pound"
The minister having his curiosity graf
flied with the explanation, rode on
wondering what he should next see an,
hear in Texas. This il no dream. but
real fact, as we have heard it nor ar,

From Washington. .

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The Douglas
and Johnson Association, and other citizens,
numbering some 1000, waited on Judge
Douglas at nine o'clock this evening, ac-
companied by the Marine Band of the Asso-
citation, and accompanied him with a
serenade.
Judge Douglas was welcomed back to
Washington in few felcitous remarks by
Mr.. John G. Enos, President of the Asso-
citation; after which Judge Douglas made a
speech, which was received with tumutous
applause. Referring to Hon. A. H. Stephenss 8
late speech, Judge D. said he indorsed every
sentiment it contained, and it inspired him
with the hope that there was party yet
strong enough to save the country. He ac-
cepted the Georgia platform in all its
features. The Personal Liberty Bills should
never have been on the statute books of any
State.
He believed Congress had the power to re-
move all distractions to the Fugitive-slaye
Law, whether resulting from State or any
other legislation. He again exhorted his
friends not to indulge in recrimination, to
let by-gones be sby-gones, and to unite for
the preservation of the UAion. He con-
cluded by saying that ON Monday he should
resume his seat in the Senate, with no pre-
judice or ill-feeling toward any one, except
the foes of his country.
Judge ID. was repeatedly cheered enthu-
siastically. He was followed by Hon. John
Young Brown, of Kentucky, in an eloquent
Union speech. 1t is rumored, and generally
believed, that Mr.. Trescott, Assistant Secre-
tary of State, contemplates resigning, owing
to the political position his State has taken.

STOLEN PAoKAGEs.-We sometimes hear
complaints of persons sending packages to
this city in care of the ferry-bOats, and when
they send for them the packa ges are found
to be non est. We do not wonder at this,
Ifpeople suppose that the Captains of the
ferry-boats have nothing more to do than
watch their bundles and packages, they are
bound to lose them. Ferry-boat owners and
attaches have their business to take care of,
and articles sent in their care will remain on
the boat until the owners send or call for
them-if they are not called for by those
who are not the owners, which is frequently
done. Captains Air. Mead and Brogan are
willing to lay by parcels, bundles and pack
ages sent in their care, but, very justly, do
not wish to be considered responsible fol-
their safe delivery, or that the merchandise
will remain in the Office until called for by
the Iroper owner.

THE MoMIcKEN BEQUrsT.-The account of
the executors of the McMicken estate, for
$4,000, for extra services in administering
upon the estate which was bequeathed to
the city to found two Colleges, has not been
confirmed by the Probate Court. In our
reference to this trifiing affair few days
ago, we stated that it had been confirmed.
So reasonable an account, however, can not
be objected to, especially when it is consid-
cred that the executors have realized more
than enough from the sale Of the property
to pay themselves, and actually propose to
leave for the present balance on hand un-
accounted for. If any censure could be al
lowed, where there is so much to praise, it
would be that they left this balance on
hand, when they could so easily have ap.
propriated it and balanced the account. 1t
is always unpleasant to find fault with those
who are acting in public capacity, espe-
cially those whose services are so nearly of
benevolent character; but it is to be hoped
that the educational executioners will not
leave an open account at their next annual
settlement.

Both Florida and Louisiana were annexed,

Suppose those purchases were made yes

honesty, unless a remuneration of the pur-
ehase-money and interest were rendered TO
the original purchaser If man add
