rGy Mr.. John W. Swindells, the Editor
and publisher of this paper, left Dallas on
last Monday for Houston and Galveston;
he visits those cities for the purpose OF
purchasing stock of materials for the
Herald Office. We be-speak for him a kind
reception from the good people Of Houston
and Galveston, and although he is proven
bal for his extreme modesty, we feel conf
dent that he will succeed in convincing the
Merchants and business men Of Houston
and Galveston, that their interests would
be greatly advanced by advertising in the
Herald.

We had the pleasure Of visit on Tues.
day from Col 2. IL. Epperson, for many
years prominent citizen Of this State
lie was on his way to Washington city
We are glad to see such men going to the
national capital. Their presence is essen
TALLY necessary TO countcract the mRlign
influence of corrupt, bad men, and 10 pre-
sent a true statement Of the condition Of
affairs, political and social, in our State,
and rs Just reflex Of the condition Of 9TH
CIR Southern States. His antecedouts and
standing will entitle him to respectful
hearing. We are gratifed TO learn, that
he is infinitely posted in cotton transactions,
as they have transpired in Texas, with the
names of parties; that he has been placed
in possession Of facts in regard to the IN
UNSUITABLE and corrupt conduct of officials,
the unwnrranted assumptions Of power, by
Provost Marshals, and the representatives,
of the Freedmcn's Bureau. That he is pre-
pared to exhibit the profigacy, immortali-
iy, and vice, everywhere existing in the
towns and cities, oceasioned by the unli-
censed and unlimited power exercised by
officials, in many instances in total disre-
gard of civil law, and evidently under the
grossest corruption. He requests us to
state, that citizenswho have been aggrievcd
and outraged, who will take the pains to
produce the documentary evidence of bad
treatment, and forward it to him at Wash
ington, may rely upon his giving each and
every case his special attention. Such a
man and ouch course has been much need
ed, and we hope the subject will be fully
exposed and the corrective applied.--Har-
shall RePuJlieaH.

16EQuiio a number Of strangers have
visited Dallas during the past week, they
are from the Northern and Eastern States,
and intend to make their future home in
Texas; all with whom We have conversed
are delighted with Dallas County. This is
but natural, for we're tkey TO travel all over
the State Of Texas, they would fail to find
any County that can offer such advantages
to the industrious and intelligent emil
grant, lands cheap, society good, no fede-
raj soldiers, an abundance Of goodies with
which to feed the hungry, and nary Bureau
The truth is We never had but small ne
gropopulation in Dallas Comfy; the whites,
always out numbering fhcEn, more than ten
to one; AID Al This time, Gen. Howard we're
he in this County, would failto End enough
darkies to hll the smallest drawer in bis

ia We call the attention of our read
ers to the Speech recently delivered in
Boston by the free negro Fred Douglas,
published elsewhere in the Herald. This
distinguished darkey has no fancy for
President Johnson, says he wont do at all.
Lincoln, who left Gov. buckingham 10
s.stand out in the cold,n whilst he conversed
with rhis friend Douglas" was the kind Of
a President that his darkeyship likes; well,
We rather prefer that kind Of man for
President who gives preference to white
men, instead of negroes, but this is mere
matter Of taste, and who has the right to
dictate to President Of the United States,
what kind of guest he shall give precedence
to at the White House.

GGyHThc farmers are taking advantage
of the fair weather, toprepnro their ground
for the next crop and the 'oldest inhabi-

more cheerful, or in better spirits, they

BGy,we hear the most cheering accounts
of the prospect of an abundant harvest
next year in Kaufman, Ellis, Tarrant and
Collin Counties, unless the wheat crop is
seriously damaged between this time and
harvest; these Counties will have large
amount Of surplus bread stuifs to send to
market, or sell 20 emigranis, who may seek
home in Texas; all of these Counties have
large amount Of good farming lands that
can be purchased at very low figures, and
the people viii not only sell their produce
cheap to new corners, but give them kind
" welcome; webelieve there is a better day
coming for the people Of Northern Texas :
they live in region Of Country that offers
more inducements to the Industrious emf
grant than any other section of the South
West.

THE SAME THING WITH A DIFF
FERENCE.

JEFF. Davis is evidently man Of vera
city. 1t will be remembered that he stated
in speech, made shortly after his election
as President, C. S. A." that he would
ere long be an occupant of the White
House. in Washington. The story was
current at that time that he had retained
and paid IN advance for his former church
pew, feeling confident that he would soon
resume his devotions there, with WASH
ington as the capital Of the Confederacy.
JEFF promise has been long delayed. BY
certain unforeseen contingencies, but it is
now announced that he is en- route for the
capital, and the promise, 80 far as his
going to Washington is concerned, will
therefore be fulfilled. Four years have
made great changes in the "clty ofmagniH-
cent distances" and it may be that the
gentleman from Mississippi" as he used
to be called by his brother Senators. will
not find the accommodations quite up To
his arisocratic notions Of elegance. He
may think, on being introduced TO the
apartments provided for him, that there is
too little of luxury and too much Of dura-
bility about them, to please his fancy.
But he will probably have no cause to
complain of the attention paid him. He
will find that there is quite as much solicit
tude manifested towards him rs he could
desire, and, perhaps, more than gentle
man of his modesty will appreciate. A
man Of his position, however, must expect
to submit to some annoyance Of this kind.
He must make up his mind to be eo'"ted'
as great men often are, and to take high
position at the National Capital-not so
high, perhaps, as tina: which Haman once
occupied, but quite high enough for his
aspiration.

JEFF. IN IRONS.

The latest printed accounts from the
East state that JEFF. Davis is in irons, in
his cell. The work of putting manacles
on the arbitrator was done on the 26th
of May; and seems to have been quite
job, as he became irritated," and, As
Mrs. Davis predicted, he "hurt" some
body-but the hurt didn't amount to
much. Whilst our soldiers were attempt.
ing to manacle him he struck one of the
men, and endeavored to get bayonet
from the guard, as is supposed with suici-
dial purpose. He was finally thrown down
on the bed in his cell, and the irons closely
riveted to buth ankles. ALAS, poor
Yorick!" The poorest and blacklist
slave in the whole South is to-day better
of, is held in better estimate among hon.
est and loyal people, than is "the GENTLE
man from Mississippi" But his next
reward, q HEMPEN ONE, for his foul trea-
son and ingratitude to the country of his
birth, is yet to come. After which, the
very gates of hell will be swung back,
and creaking upon their black hinges,
will, after JEFF. DAVIS has entered upon
his eternal doom, make such rumbliLg
and fearful noises throughout the whole
of the eternal creation, that man will
stand appalled, at the vengeance which
God inAicts upon traitors to their
country. The hideous skeletons of the
tens of thousands of our murdered and
starved countrymen will haunt JEFF. Davis
in his cell before his awful doom is meted
out to him and however supplicating
and tearfully he may appeal to Almighty
God, his sins are so many and damnable,
that even the Great Eternal will refuse to
hearken unto him, and his sun will turn
into darkness and his moon into blood.
" VENGEANCE Is NINE" saith the Lord
