BEFORE THE ELECT1oN.-What glorious thing it is
to be accounted of the sovereign people just on
the eve Of an clcction The very thought that one is
again to be allowed the privilege of going through
the motion is truly e1hilaratng, to say nothing of the
prospective stimulating applications. 1t was evidently
under this belief assisted by sundry spiritual nspira
tons, that our Baton Rouge contemporary got of the
following:
Never had we SO many friends, never were we asked
to drink so often, never "betterhalf" and
mutual Increase so often inquired AFTER was
there so much sympathy expressed for our losses
during the war; and finally, could be brought
to believe how important in this small commu-
nifty until the mighty lever Of general election dis
played our manifold virtues to admiring public.
Therefore on election day, expect to vote early,
to vote often, to see that friends vote at least
eral times to that every body else votes, and see
that they all vote right. Voters, however, must not
exercise the glorious right of suffrage at more than
seven precincts during the day.

The PEOPLE OF TExAs.-The New York Tribune
sent to Austin, Texas of its dirty tools for the
purpose of yilifyng the convention and manufaotu-
ring, con the ground" sensational letters for its
columns At the tail end Of long letter full Of lies,
the aforesaid tool gets off the following;
This State is peculiar for its three breeds of horses
the first is the real mustang" or native stock,
breed of little thin sided slopng rumpped, fatoe.ed
vicious little brutes that must do everything in thei
own way, and are never broken but they are ready
to pitch and cut up whenever they have had weel
without the bits in their mouths and the spurs in the
tanks. Then come the halfbreeds, kind of mon
greI affair, neither really trustworthy nor wholly vi
cious, bat on the whole decidedly unsafe to handle
because you are never certain whether they goine
to work or balk The third is good, honest, Ameri
can horse; goodsized, integent-headed, and honest
hearted He has way of his own, but it is usually
on the right side.
These are apt types Of this Texas convention, aut
