We propose to offer some Inducements to
Clubs-hoping thereby to increase our cir
culation largely, with profit to the publish
er, the advertiser and the reader.
We have commenced our paper under IN
favorable circumstances mail facilities,
no printers, and no patronage worth men
lioning. We print 500 copies of the paper
weekly, but only about 40 copies are paid
for. We circulate the other 46O grstuit-
ously for the benefit of those who have been
generous enough tc favor us with adverti-
sing patronage But we can't bear up I'M
der this very long, aud we have therefore
determined to offer these inducements to
clubs. We are ashamed for it to go abroad

pie of Giles county, can only afford their

son Of this indispositon on the part of the

cause they are afraid of the political senti-

The intimation. that an understanding
had been effected bstween the United States
and France in regsd to Mexican matters, IS
wholly unfounded. The last phase of the
affairs was the proposition of the French
Emperor to our Government to recognize

the President indOrsed, fatty refused such
a recognition, and gave the reasons therefor
at length, bringing a rejoinder from the

minister to the Republic.

we see, the svenging Nemesis pursues also this
other monsrchical conspirhtor against republi-
can liberty. The United States is not only
great republic in itself, but is the representative
OF republican ideas and of freedom for the reo-
pie OF all nations, and any assault upon our
Government, openly or insid1ously, must recoil
upon the assailants; for the people everywhere

legged classes are not.

long as they are deserving oil it.
The inlereDces suggested by these orders are
very plain. Evidently, the obstacle to improve

country. They show how difficulties on the

rebuke to those in Congress who, under the
pretense of protecting the freedmen, are encour-
aging them IN idleness, and laying the founda-
ton of difficulties from which they will be the
greatest sufferers.

The New Orleans Pfcayune evidently f.

ludes TO SOME Of the points of Judge Shark
cyl recent letter opposing the amendment,
as follows:
''The second and third section. comprise
those features that would come under imme-
date consideration, and call for practical
conclusions. A State could elect no local
officers nor send Senators and Representa-
tives to Congress who had taken an official
oath TO support the Constitution Of the Uni,
ted States, and subsequently aided, directly
or Indirectly. the rebellion 1t has been as
serted that this disqualification would exclude
IRON Office the most intelligent and compe-
tent persons in the South: and Judge Sharkey
OF Mississippi seems 10 think that it would be
extremely difficult to find, in that State, a
sufficient number of qualified white persons
for its various official positions, either local
or national. We much incline to doubt the
correctness Of this opinion. In every South
ern State there we're always numbers OF in
teiligent, educated, thrifty &d enterprising
meI. who never had or sought occasion 10
take an official OATH AID who were none the
less respectable and Trustworthy in public es-
TEEN on that account. The disqualification
in quest On would have the effect of bringing
into public service persons from this class,
and also from another class, which consists
mainly of Young men whose tender wears
precluded them from Office before the war,
though not, perhaps, from the Confederate
armies as volunteers or as conscripts. 1t is
scarcely to be doubted that these two classes
would afford abundant material for all imme-
date needs in respect to official competency
and incumbency.'

TEXAS LOYALTY.

1t would be difficult to tell from its leeisla.
ton whether Texas were not still member
of the Southern Confederacy, or at least out
of the Union. Her legislature met on the
9th of August last. One Of the FIRST bills in
trodueed was proposition TO appropriate
$4,000 to buy wooden legs for Confederate
soldiers manned during the war. From tho
provision Of this bill, Texan Union soldiers
were carefully excluded; albeit UDionis,s
from at least fourth of the population OF
the State. These are taxed to prov,as
wooden legs for rebel soldiers, while their
own crippled men are not provided for.
Again, 800 acres of land were donated TO
the rebel soldiers of the State, iucapaci,ated
by wounds or disability contracted in the ser>
wee, IRON labor, and from this provision
Union soldiers were carefully excluded. The
Texas Cnionists have thus to provide for
rebel soldiers, while rebel hate refuses to rive
such care TO the man who was loyal 10 his
country and his flag.
In the Senate of this loyal State, the fol.
lowing proceedings were had:

THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.

The public are amused with correspon.
dence between President JOHNSON and At
torney General SrANBERRY in regard to the
trial of JEFF. DAVIS by the Civil Courts.
The President asks the Attorney General if
he, the President, has authority TO bring on
the trial of JEFF DAVIS, and the Attorney
General, as per programme, replies that he
has not And moreover, the Attorney Gem
eral is inclined to think that it will require
an act of Congress re-assigning the District
before Circuit Judge can try JEFF. DAVIS in
Virginia. This may all be very true, but the
people have not learned, as they would like
to learn, from Mr.. STASBERRY, why JEFF
DAVIS should not be tried by military com
mission, as WIRz and other humber traitors
have been.
The people know as well as President
JOHNSON and Attorney General SrAsBERRy
themselves, that the trial Of JEFF DAVIS by
Virginia jury Of his accomplices in treason
is the merest mockery Of justice, and scan
dalous outrage and humbug No such jur,
would find JEFF. DAVIS guilty, and subjec
him to the punishment Of death on the gal
lows. In the first place, as accomplices il

In the second place, they all alike with JEFF
