Fate Of the Leading Spirits of the Re.
belliOn in Texas.

New YORK, Sept. l9-The Galveston
Bulletin, in an article on the leading
men of Texas, says Gen. Sam. Houston,
opposing secession in every way possible,
was hurled from the GubernatOrial chair
by q convention whose authority he de-
nounced, and died amid tho crushing
storm he foretold. 1t Gov. Clark was
Installed in his place, but was subse
qusntly defeated by Subbock, now a pris,
Oner awaiting trial. Murrat, another
oomI etitor, has died an exile. Cham
bers, also candidate, was assassinated
in the last year of the war. Hemphill
died soon after his defeat for seat in
the rebel Congress; some say of a broken
heart. Wau1, who declared he would
drink all the blood shed in the cause of
secession, lost more blood from shatter-
ed arm in the battle of Saline than he
was willing to drink, and in the same
battle his friends Scurry and Randolph
fell The great leader of the organiza-
ton, John Marshall, was killed at Gaines
Mill. Mcleod, McCulloch, Burchell, Sid
ney Johnston and Thomas Green, all
highly honored when living, passed
away with scarcely word of praise fol.
lowing them.

Observation-Disclosures
From the Rochester Union. !

Mai Gen. Dan. E. Sickles murdered a
man. Edwin NJ Stanton defended Gen.
Sickles, and although the friends of the
latter thought that the blackguard and
bully injured his case he no doubt thinks
differently, as he was acquitted
Mai Gen. Dan. E. Sickles was nomiua-
ted for Brigadier General. The Senate
rejected him. Edwin NJ. Stanton had
meantime become Secretary of War and
aided his old client in procuring recon-
sideration of the vote of rejection and a
final conformation.
Mai Gen. Dan. E. Sickles delivered an
address before the American Institute in
New York the other night, and though
foreign to his topic he introduced Stan
ton and gave him first rate puff which
if procured in the Herald at regular rates
would cost good deal of money. Grat-
itude is one Of Gen. Sickles' chief char
acteristics, and we admire him for it.
SUN, uutuyaJ hne-vs Lattar than ha that
when Edwin NJ. Stanton leaves the War
Office he will go forth condemned and
execrated by nine-tenths of the officers
and soldiers of tie army and nine-tenths
of the people at large. His present tour
through New York, West Point, Newport,
&c, show in what esteem he is held by
the country. With the exception of a
few stipendiaries and sycophants, every
body shuns and detests him.
While Stanton is on his travels
wouldn't it be a good idea for him to Wis
it the graveyard of Andersonville and
there say his prayers among the thirteen
thousand headboards that bear witness
to his inhuman non-exchange policy

NATIONAL TOBACCO CoNvENTIoN.-
The National Tobacco Convention, under
the auspices of the Kentucky Board of
Agriculture, was held at Louisville on
the second Wednesday of September
The object of this Convention is stated
as follows: The prime object of the Con-
vention is to get together, from all Sec
tions of the Union, the practical minds
of trade, with view to such modifica-
tion of the present excise law, so far as
tobacco is concerned, as will lnventuate
in the passage by the next Congress, of a
thorough and well digested plan of taxa
tion that will yield the largest possible
amount. of revenue to the Government
with the least embarrassment to the
culture and manufacture of the article.

Boston Custena.

There is one Boston custom which ]
find rapidly extending, and which is
worthy of passing note as an innovation
upon long established American habits.
mean the new fashion of gentlemen
keeping their seats in all public convey
ances, when occupied previously to the
entrance OF ladies, thus leaving the lat
ter to stand during the entire trip, or
until seats are vacated by passengers
leaving them for their various stopping
places. So general has this departure
from the time honored "perogative of
woman" become, that it is rare to see a
man, olu or. young, Especially the lat
ter, rise TO offer his seat to a lady. You
will see, AT all hours OF the day,
full cars making their way through
Boston and its neighboring cities, 1.-THE
seats mainly filled with gentlemen, who
have secured them by the rule Of first
comers, while dozen or half dozen L.
dies oeeapy the middle of the car, or even
stand uneasily upon the platform. What
this sign of the times in this capital of,
eastern refinement means, whether it be-
tokens growing tendency to take the
advocates of "woman's rights" at their
word and concede TO the fair sex just
their bare rights" and nothing more, or
whether the seeming scant courtesy ac-
corded to woman is really but a strict
carrying out of the principle considered
equitable in England, that, in all travel
ing conveyances, as in shops, public offi-
ces and markets, the rule of first come,
first served" is to be applied, 1 leave TO
others to determine.

Recon.,ruc,ion issssu,h Carolina.

The Baltimore Ssa says: A private
letter from Charleston adds additional
testimony to the assurance that the peo-
pie of South Carolina are in earnest in
their efforts to acquiesce in the new order
of things, and to reconstruct their State
government for peaceful return to their
former civil pursuits. The canvass late
ly resulting in the election of delegates
to the State Convent1on wusquftc fnucr-
esting, although it is declared that the
people of the State had but two ocjects
in view, namely, the election of gentle
men who could be trusted in this critical
period of political existence, and the
exclusion Of selfseeking, political trick
sters. The result Of the election has
been the choice, amsng others,of several
prominent officers of the late Confeder-
ate army, such as Wade Hampton, James
Conner, and Col Sullivan, and our cor
respondent fears this fact may be trum.
peted abroad by thspress Of the country
as an evidence, in addition to the late
Richmond elections that the people of
the South are not sufficiently loyal to be
prepared for reconstruction, "but," he
adds, eve put our faith in the conscious
ness of our integrity. and the hope that
the sensible men f the North will give
US credit for our etrnestness."
