DALLAS. Nov. 10. 1865.

Editor Dallas Herald:
II is not common to see people reform
their government, their manners, their
morals or their learning, when tn have
once been dissipaied. Indeed such q
thug is unknown in history and would be
an anomaly. But this Government itself is
an anomaly, and the recent war and its
singular termination has no parallel in the
annsls Of any people or country.
That great changes are contemplated in
our organic laws, have no doubt. Wheth-
er for better or for worse, cannot say /
know that without reform in every thing
have mentioned, and in religion besides,
nothing but time is wanting, and not very
much Of that to hurl us into barbarism
That has been the fate of all great, learned
and polite nations, and to which we are
Fastening with rapid strides.
True patriotism is rare commodity these
times-real wisdom is rare, and such thing
as thoughts hardly known. People 60 very
much hap-hazard at every thing, and especi-
ally things that do not concern their imm-
ediaie personal interests. They have not
time to bestow, 10 thought upon the great
public good. Aid hence, tn great public
good goes uncaced for and unprctecied-a
great item in bringing about the disastrous
results Of the recent war.
But enough. The whole bent % the pub
lie mind now seems to be repose, falling
back into old and once tried channels. The
FIRST view CT this is, that IL savors Of an at
tempt 10 wrest from the people power that
they have acquired II is q hard thing to

'IF THE VIcToRs ARE MAGNANIMoUs THE

ed this sentiment. He also stated that it

conflict by proscrptive measures against
the vanquished, and instanced the bad re-
suits of snch proscriptive measures as APP
piled to France in the case of the Hugue-

MEETING OF PuYsIcIANs.-Pursuant to q
call made in the "IIerald" some weeks ago,
few physicians of this county metin DIAL
las, on Thursday, the. 9th inst, to take into
consideration the proprieiy of organizing n
Medical Society. So small a number were
in attendance that it was considered advi-
sable to postpone an organization for the
present. 1t was, upon enquiry, discovered
that very few Of those interested were in
formed either as to the desire, or time spe-
Gifted, for discussing the question of med
ical organization, and it was therefore deem
ed best, by those present, TO appoint some
time in the future for another meeting and
to select some one to act as Corresponding
Secretary, who would confer with all the
regular physicians ofthc surrounding coun
ties, and urge their attendance heroafter--
The meeting then adjourned, to meet again
on the first Monday in March next.

JUDGE PASCHAL AND MR.. DAvIs.-We OBJ
tain the following correction Of telegraphic
rumors from the Galveston Bulletin:
''The statement which went the rounds,
that Judge Paschal has advocated the par
don of Jefferson Davis at Washington,
never met the eye Of tie Judge, and hence
never contradieted, until his attention was
called to il by his son, who is connected
with this paper. He authorizes us TO say
ihatthe statement is without any foundation
in truth. He had no occasion to mention
the name of Mr.. Davis at Washington, to
any member of the Administration; nor
did he discuss the question of his pardon
with any individual. The visit Of Judge
p. to Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Reagan, we
have published. He favored their release
to the extent Of his power, believing, as the
New York Tribune remarked upon Judge
P's letter, that these men would be far
more useful in their States than within the
four walls Of n prison. Judge P. has no
knowledge Of the disposition Of the Gov
eminent towards Mr.. Davis.
