FROM TEXAS.

The Missouri Democrat publishes the
following extract from private letter to a
gentleman in st. Louis, by a citizen Of
Texas, former stakeholder, who was in
Texas during the war. He says: "While
l am writing, news has come in that Rev.
F. and his son Conrad have been hung,
professedly by Indians, in reality by fire
eaters, however. AS matters stand here,
the fact is not such one as would as
tonish me. At the last meeting of the
Court where | served as member of the
jury, the whole Court had more the ap-
pearance of a Confederate Court Martial
than anything else. Confederate uniforms
(privates and officers) were the rule; law
yers, witnesses and hangers-on all armed
to the teeth, and of the attorneys, every
one who had by his services gained the
right of wearing a rebel uniform, was
sure of parading the same. Really, Pre-
sident johnson is great in his tender mer-
cies to these Southern fire-eaters, and the
country must not be surprised when it
brings forth its legitimate results"

FREMONT. OHIO
THE ISSUE.

There is without doubt an important differ
ence of opinion between the President and
those who elected him. The issue is a plain
one. 1t is simply this: The great mass OF
Union men are desirOus that before the rebel
lious States are admitted to full restoration,
some guarantees shall be established against
future rebellion and disloyslty. The Presi-
dent, on the contrary, insists that We have no
right to enact such guarantees until the rebels
are fully restored. He says that legislation on
the subject hould not be undertaken until the
rebels are permitted to have voice in it. The
people and Congress insist that this course
would defeat the object. 1t is simply allowing
the rebels to make their own terms Of return 70
the Union. Common sense, common law, ap-
solute Justice and universal precedent, all al
firm that defeated rebels forfeit their right to
demand terms of pardon and restoration. But
the President would not only allow shem to de-
eide their own status in the Union, but would
actually place the whole Republic at once IN IN
their hands. and entrust to their patriotism the
gigantic interests of the twenty millions in the
loyal North. For who does not know that,
when the Southern States are admitted to seats
in Congress with their increased representation
on account of the abolition of slavery, they,
with their copperhead allies from the North.
will control the entire Legislation of the coun-
try1. This is one way to "puiish traitors and
make treason odious.'
Whether the Presidents remarkable change
ofpolicy is the result of honest conviction or an
ambition to secure Southern votes at the next
Presidential election, is matter of no special
moment. Thegreat question to-day is, whether
this Union shall be reconstructed by loyal men
through their representatives, or by rebels whote
hands are yet red with the dearest blood of the
Republic? On the one hand it is said that the
moment traitors were defeated-exhausted &c
they could fight no longer, and therefore forced
g abandon secession that moment they are
entitled to perfect immunity for their crimff
aud TO be entrusted with the common veal o
the nation On the other hand, it is urged, f
the sake of future peace and prosperity, to guard
against repetition of the dreadful carnage o
those four years of bloody war, against the poi
son of states rights which had so thoroughly fast
sned itself upon the South, the Republic ough
to provide certain just and righteous guarantees
for the future, before Rebels are restored to full
participation in the administration of the Gov
ernment. We have no fear but that the people
viii adhere to this policy. The nation whiel
had the fortitude to carry on the war for the Un'
ion to complete and glorious victory, will no
allow the fruits of that victory to be lost fol
want of intelligence or vigilance.

The Hon. Glenni W. Schofeld, of Penn
sylvania, in speech on the extension of
the right of suffrage in the District made
in January, used the following language:
l know it is said that the party may be-
come powerless by the detection of the
President. 1t is alleged by the opposition,
and feared even by some of our freinds,
that when the grim leaders of the rebel
lion shall re-embrace their old party allies,
President placed in power by Republican
trust and Republican votes, forgetful of an
example that consigned two Presidents to
private life and public infamy, will be
present to celebrate the reunion of these
pardoned principals in crime with suspect
ed accessories before the fact. do not
speculate as to what the President may do.
You never know what single man sud-
denly elevated to power may do. "Put
not your trust in princes" is warning that
will apply to all men in power. | never
could guess the secret motive that induced
Tyler and Fillmore to betray the Wings. l
have often heard that aperson who stands
on the brink of Niagara, or climbs to the
top of lofty tower, feels an almost irresis-
tible impulse to jump of. 1t may be some
such unnatural sensation that prompted
these two gentlemen to leap from their
high eminence into the terrible obseurity
below. | cannot believe that Mr.. john
son will follow these unseductive exam
Piles. But if he should, he alone will be
broken. The tower will stand, but his
crippled limbs can never again ascend it
The ranks of the Republican army would
not even waver. Its contractors and suit
lers would fly, to be sure; but without the
loss of a man or a gun, it would still stand,
the friend of the oppressed and the terror
of the oppressor. Whatever individuals
may do, be assured the republican party
will adhere to its principles, and in its
principles will certainly triumph. The
Wing party could hardly be said ever to
have been in settled majority of the peo-
pie, and yet it stood the betrayal of two of
its Presidents, and only broke down when
it surrendered to the slave power in the
Baltimore Convention of 1865.

COMING RACK.

The London Democrat announces that
Sunset Cox, who, like the Rev. Petroleum
V. Nasby, tore himself away from the cit
liens of Ohio after his defeat for Congress
in 1864, and emigrated to New York city
hoping to find there more appreciative
constituency, is going to return again to
the Buckeye State. Our readers will re-
member that Sammy was one of the shin
ing lights of the Johnson meeting at Gro
ver's Theatre, and has suddenly taken a
high rank in the ''new party" which Pre-
sident johnson is forming. He undoubt
edly returns with the intention of running
for Congress in the Columbus District
next fall as an unqualified Johnson man.

THE TIME FOR. RESTORATION.

The following is paragraph from the speech
of Mr.. Lawrence on reconstruction, lately de-
livered in the House of Representatives:
But when shall the States be restored to pol
itical power? s........'
answer that will depend upon the people of
the States themselves. When loyalty returns,
when permanent civil government shall be
practicable in the sense that it shall bring obe-
dieuce to national authority and protect the
Union population and the freedmen in the en-
ioyment of their rights, with security for the
future assured, then can the work of restoration
be made complete. When there shall be 10y
al majority in any State able to contIol State
Government and prevent it from falling into the
hands of traitors who will destroy it. then can
State Government be restored. No one can
more devoutly desire the speedy coming of that
day than L. will greet and welcome to these
Halls, with guarantees of peace and security,
and Justice, loyal Representatives from every
State. But it will not come while, as now in
the South loyalty is regarded as crime and
treason alone is the passport to Office. Ifcannot
come while people and Legislatures deride, de-
spise and set at defiance, our Constitution and
laws. 1t cannot come while Senators and Rep
resentatives are elected because they were con-
spiciuous for treason and will continue to be
traitors. We are asked to admit Herschel V.
johnson aud Alexander d. Stephens as Senators
from Georgia-Vice-P President of the rebel Con-
federacy. If this be Southern loyalty, Breck-
ipridge, and even Davis himself, will speedily
re.enter this capital. r.l

A Washington special in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, describing some Incl
dents of the Senate proceedings of Fri
day, says.
Senator Sherman, rising to personal expla-
nation relative to Reverdy Johnson's speech of
Yesterday, said that Chief Justice Chase never
saw the resolutions affirming the right of
State to decide on the constitutionslity of a
United States law, which were passed at Cleve-
land in 1859, during the Oberlin rescue excite
ment.
Mr.. Sherman added that Justice Chase did
speak at the meeting referred to, but was not
aware that any such resolutions were passed,
and that his speech as Executive Of Ohio, in
favor of law and order, was such as to cause
dissent from those who proposed the Cleveland
meeting. -. .-
Senator Sherman was correct in his
statement, for Mr.. Chase was sent for by
the conservative portion of the meeting,
but declined to attend, until his presence
was insisted on as necessary to keep the
more inconsiderate and impulsiye within
bounds. He reached the city after the
meeting had got under full headway and
the resolutions had been adopted, and his
speech was temperate and judicious.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.

The GAINESVILLE Courier publishes the
following statement furnished by Mr..
Moore, of Muskingum county, in regard
to the fruit prospect. Peach crop entirely
destroyed. Some of the finer varieties
ofPlums injured, but perhaps buds enough
left for crop. Cherries, Morello, Red
Pie Cherry, Early Richmond, Belle Mag
nifique and Rheine Hortense are all right,
while the early May Dukes are nearly
killed. Grapes, too early to determine
with certainty the extent of the damage,
but Isabella's are doubtless seriously in
jured, and perhaps Catawba's also. Black
berries are safe, and also the more hardy
varieties of Raspberries, but some of the
finer kinds are killed. Apples and Pears
are generally safe.

Gov. Browplow, of Tennessee, in an ar
ticle defining his position towards the
President says that if Mr.. Johnson stands
to his former declaration, that only the
loyal shall rule, "We are with him. If his
reconstruction party policy purposes to re-
verse this policy and to abandon this plat
form, we are not with him, nor are the 10y
al and true men of Tennessee"

General Grant is no longer caressed by the
Democratic newspapers. Since the issue of his
order relative to dislOyal presses, they are al
most unanimous in denouncing him-chargiug
him with seeking to convert himself into Ma
pOleOn, and exercise despOtic power. The cop
perheads have discovered that they cannot use
the iron-willed soldier and patriot. u ~
