the leading men of Texas, says:
Gen Sam. Houston, opposing secession
in every way possible, was hurled from the
gubernatorial chair by convention whose
authority he denied, and died amid the
crushing storm he foretold. Lit. Gov. Clark
was installed in his place, but was subse-
quently defeated by Bullock, now prisoner
awaiting trial. Murrah, another competitor,
has died an exile. Chambers, also candi-
date, was assassinated in the last year Of the
war. Hemphll died soon after his defeat
for seat in the rebel Congress--some say
of broken heart. Ward, who declared he
would drink all the blood shed in the cause
of secession, lost more blood from shattered
arm in the battle of Saline than he was will
ing to drink !; and in the same battle his
friends Scurry and Randolph fell. The

Soldiers Votes.

The Copperheads are making pathetic
appeals to the soldiers to secure their votes
1t is very modest application, Soldiers
used to be reminded that the Democratic
members of the legislatures OF the Northern
States generally, bitterly opposed the laws
by which the right Of franchise vas extend
ed to the soldiers in the fela. In Pennsyl
vania every Democratic member voted solid
ly against the soldiers voting law, aud the
Copperheads Of Ohio were bitterly hostile
to the act. All such laws were passed by
the Union party.-[Dayton Journal.

In n Nutshell.

We know not when we have seen so much
in so little as in The speech Of Gen. Butler
to the massachusetts Republican, Convention,
wherein he gives the definition Of the two
issues before the country:
There are two theories: one is that the
rebellious States lost none of their rights
by rebellion, so that when armed rebellion
was crushed the States sprang into all their
former rights. The other theory is, that
these rebellious States, banded in new
Confederacy, defying us as enemies, lost
none Of their rights under the Constitution.
They were no less subjects. because they
we're traitors. They must take the position
into which they have Voluntarily placed
themselves, until by acts meet for repent
ance, they shall show themselves fit for o
government founded on republican demo-
cracy, which shall give laures to our de.
tenders, stripes to our enemies at home and
abroad. Applause On these two issues
the two great political parties will meet on
different lines.
The Democratic party adopts the first
theory, to wit: That the rebelious States,
by the cessation Of armed hostilities, are
restored to their exact fermer position. -
The Uninn party represents the second =
That wherein they have overthrown the
Constitution, therein they have forfeited
their former rights, and cannot have any
such rights restored save so far as can be
done with safety to the Union. In other
words, the South must give guarantee for
the future against any rebellion growing out
of the cause which produced the present
one.

bridge Over the Mississippi at
st. Louis.

We take the following from the ST. Louis
Democrat of July 7th:
One of the grand ideas now entertained is
the erection of suspension bridge across the
Father of Waters at this point. The railroad
Presidents are embodying this idea in their
reports, and the public generally begin to
look at the project practicable one, and
9 necessity which the travel and commerce OF
the city can hardly do without. We learn
With no little pleasure, that the earliest APP
plication viii be made for National charter.
and pach airieAt obtained with the concur
renee of the legislatures of Missouri and Illi-
noisy will immediately secure sufficient sum
to commence and complete the work at an
early day thereafter.
Capitalists here and elsewhere have signi-
ned their willingness to invest in the enter
prise. Indeed, it is ascertained that a great
desire is entertained to take large amounts OF
stock, the success of the undertaking being
evident to any comprehension The business
of structure Of the kind sufficiently large to
accommodate the travel and transportation as
now existing, may be easily computed from
the receipts of the half dozen or more ferry
boats which ply between the two shores.
These boats run every fifteen minutes each.
from early morn till night. and are generally
filed with vehicles. stock, horsemen and pc
destrians. The easier and cheaper facilities
of bridge would double this travel, and in a
very short period the increase would be ma
terially enlarged by an enhanced population
on the other side, drawn thither by the rich
soil Of the Mississippi Bottom, which would
be rendered doubly valuable by certain con-
nection with this market at all seasons of the
year
Connected with this idea of bridge is an.
o.her-a general railroad depot at some cen
trail accessible point in the city President
Butler, of one of the roads, seems to think
that property is too valuable to Justify such
al improvement; but other cities have ac-
complished the task-compassed the object
and there can be no reason urged against it
here, which has not been met and vanquish-
ed in other places. A general depot is ne
cessity. 1t facilitate business, and acts as a
heart to the entire system of our communica-
tons. Instead of having two or three such
places over the river, and those III the city
widely separated, requiring three or four diff
ferent mercantile messengers to attend to
freight where one should be sufficient, and a
guide to travellers to find out the various 10.
calities, central arrangement for all should
be adopted, and the public of this city and
section permitted to enjoy the comfort and
accommodation which such an advantage con-
fers.
Let US by all means have bridge over the
Mississippi, and central railroad depot in
the city. Under the expansive influences of
the new Constitution these progressive move
ments are already imperatively demanded

In the village of Georgetown, Ohio,
where General Grant and the writer OF
this article spent part Of their boy
hood, the arrival of a show Of any kind
was great event, and the one with
which my story is connected was cir
Gus. People came from every part Of
the country, in all kinds Of conveyan-
ces, to see the wonderful feats. Tothe
boys the pony and the monkey were
the great objects Of attraction The
boys and the monkey, as if enjoying
peculiar favor, were permitted 70 ride
the pony. '
This pony was well trained to per
form his part On the occasion of
which 1 speak, after the pony and
monkey had performed to the great de-
light of the spectators, the manager
asked if there was not boy who would
like to ride the pony. The word had
no sooner been spoken than out step
ped a good sized boy from the country,
and took his seat upon the pony. The
pony understood well the part to be
performed nov, and as soon ss be vas
turned into the ring began running at
the top of his speed, and to rear and
kick as high as he could, then sudden
ly turning around, the boy went sud-
denly into the dust, TO the great amuse
ment of lockers on. The pony seemed
to enjoy the trick as much as the au-
dience
The managers then said, Perhaps
there is another boy who win like to
take ride" Finally, ont stepped Ulys-
ses S Grant He was much smaller in
size than the boy who had just been
thrown by the pony. The manager
placed young Grant upon the back of
the pony, Ulysses took the reins into
his hands and tucked his heels close in
behind the shoulder blades of the pony.
He seemed to comprehend the situs-
tion. The manager seeing his compos-
ure and self-reliance, thOughthe would
give the pony hint of what he must
do So he gave him asmart crack with
the whip, and away ne went at the top
of his speed, now rearing 50 high as to
be nearly erect on his hind feet, then
kicking up so IS to be perpendicular
upon his fore feet, but Ulysses never
lost for a moment his equilibrium.
The pony, finding he could not un-
horse him this way, ran around the
ring atthe top of his speed, and then
suddenly wheeled about. But the III
der was not taken by surprise; he threw
both arms. tightly about the neck Of
the pony and stuck 10 him, amidst the
great cheering of the crowd. The po-
ny could no more throw him from his
back than be could the monkey He
fought it out on that line, as much as
in taking Richmond and Nicksbdrg

to do he did. : % A'.'-t gn
