Texas ITEMS. s.-The IoGronoa
Era, in speaking of manufacturers
throughout Texas, has the following:
Machinery, for factory purposes, is
beng scattered over the State, but
none of 1t stops in LaGrangc. Bas-
trop has her factory in operation.
LaGrango certainly possesses as many
advantages as either of these places.
and yet, strange to say, lets herself
be outstripped i'll the race. A good
time may be coming-until then. VIC
must exercise patience.
The editor of the Bastrop d,irer-
hse'' is loud neutrality-suspicious. bla
tant-in his call for help to cult
vate the rich land in his vicinity. He
says:
White laborcrs and freedmen are
very much needed in Bastrop County.
Many of the best farms in the County
are without adequate force to cult
vate thcm, and some, we learn, are
without single freedman. Labor
ers and freedmen, come to Bastrop
County Immediately, if you want
employment. One-fourth, one third,
and IN some cases onc-half, of the
crop is given. Spread tue news,
everybody, that Bastrop County, the
banner cotton County of the State
last year, wants more laborers.
In relation to an extra session OF
the Texas Legislature, the Austin
'Sfnfc Gazette comes out hat-footed
enough:
We now say, emphutically, that the
Governor hasreceivcd no information
from the President which would in
duce him to call an extra session of
tho Legislature, or make it advisable
for him to do so, and that he has no
such intention in the present state of
affairs. We trust this will settle tho
question.

paragraph:
At present, Alabama is like the

NEw MODE OF MAKING TUnpES-
TINE. We were shown, yesterday, by
DR. J. NJ. Hines, specimen Of the
spirits turpentine and acetic acid.
manufactured by the company of
which he is a member, through the
process patented in April, 1866.
Their machinery is in operation at
Monks Corner. S. G.
The whole operation consists in
abstractinS from the pine wood the
turpcntine and acetic acid contained
Ill 1t, and the estimate is that one
cord of this wood will yield fifty gal
Ions Of spirits turpentine, twelve
pounds acetic acid and two barrels of
pitch: The ingredients are simply
distilled from the forest wood. The
specimens we saw were crude arti-
cles, but were capable Of being re-
fined so as to be equal to the best in
commerce. We should think the
business, according to all calcula-
tons, would be very lucrative, and

TEST OArus The adverse .lcci.
sion Of the Supreme Court of the
United States to the constitutionality
Of tho ''test oaths" imposed by Con-
gross, will lead, we hope, to q marked
improvement in the Federal officials
in the Southern States. The "tcst
oaths' prevented ninety mine out of
every hundred Of our people from
holding the Federal offices in our
midst. They went, therefore, by de
fault, In many instances, into the
hands Of unworthy and incompetent
citizens OF the Southern States; and
still more frequently, the officials
were unsympathizing. aliens, whose
prcsence iii our midst is perpetual
and bateful reminder Of the failure Ct
our noble struggle.
In some Of the Southern cities. the
officials are strangers, VIII, caro in
with the conquerors, md have
nothing in common with the people.
Many Of these men have behaved
themselves we'll, and have won the
esteem Of our people, while others
have made themselves as odious as
l/O'D''A'AN'
why the Offices at the South should
not be filed by Southern men. The
interests Of the Government would,
for instance, be greatly promoted bv
the appointment Of popular, capa-
BILE and honest Southern men to all
the places connected with the collcc
ton OF the internal revenue, where q
most intimate KNOWLEDGE of the moo
pie is indispensable to the officials.
The policy of reconciliation is popu-
lar with the President, and he cannot
carry it ol.t more elfectually than by
interesting the Southern people in
the numerous Offices in our midst.
Among the first fruits Of the action
of the Supreme Court in dem olishing
the "tcst OATH will, we hope. be Il
change in that numerous class of
officials who, in the collection of re
venue, &c, represent the T.casurY

He expresses a becoming pride in

have endured from the mailed hands
OF Federal officers and soldiers, it
cannot be expected will be redresscd
through the power Of so small a
State as Delaware. But it is hoped
that the sternness with which those
innovations Of the Constitution have
been opposed. will be beneficial to
future generations, and as IN ex-

TEST OATH REscINDED AND Urea
son CASES STETrED. Judge Giles, of
the United States District Court, on
Thursday, passed an order resembling
the test oath required to be taken by
attorneys practicing in that court.
This action is presumed to be in con

is thought the State courts will follow
the example. On the same day, Stels
were entered on the docket in all Of
what are known as the ''treason

A HERALD LIBEL. In the general
term of the Supreme ConYt Of New
York, on Friday, tho case of John
IL. More against James Gordon Ben
nett camc on. The complaint in this
case was founded on u letter sup
posed to be written by the widow of
Colonel himball, charging that a
prostitute was under the patronage
or protection Of the plaintiff. The
lower court, after evidence to show
that the defendant was the publisher
of the lieralu and the publication OF
the alleged libel, dismissed The com
plant on the ground that it did not
state cause OF action. Mr.. Justice
Foster granted a new trial, and the
defcndantappcaled.
The argument Of the defendant is
substantially that the avcrmcnt of
the complaint is not & libel. as it
would equally apply TO the Magdalen
Association, to Isaac L. Hopper and
other charitable persons and institu-
tions, to whom it would be q glory,
and not . shame And that, in de
fanlt Of proper allegations and in
ucndos, the complaint must fail.
On the other side it is argued that
the complaint is sufficient, it ayerrins
that the language is malicious and
false, and the simple and ordinary
meaning of the word was enough to
sustain the action. Case not con
clutlCd.
