Gsy" We take pleasure in referring TO the
card Of J. H. Carter, Wholesale Grocer,
New Orleans, represented by Major S. f
Power, who is travelling for the concern
We know the house to be A No. /. OF Maj
Power, we make the following extracts
from papers published where heis known.
The first is from the Nashville Democrat,
which says:
"Major Stephen F. Power, of the house
of J. H. Carter, of New Orleans, has been
spending some time with our family here
mingling pleasure with business. The
house with which he is connected is one of
the most extensive in its operations, in the
South, and judging by the Major, and the
others, who we have heard, are connected
with it and its transactions, it deserves all
the favor it has received. We hear that the
Major is about to leave us on protracted
business tour through our State, Louisiana
and Texas and we bespeak from our con-
freres of the press, if he should be thrown
with them, most favorable feeling to-
wards him. He was raised here, and is
thoroughly known TO our community. He
was an excellant and favorite soldier, and
is thorough business man. We wish him
a pleasant journey and great success
And the following is from the Natchez
Miss Courier:
The MnjOris n most successful clectioneer,
and merits the success. For an old friend
and llow-citizen, we could not say less,
especially of one so well known as "self-
made man as Major Stephen F. Power
Mr.. Carter has had eighteen years expert
ence in his business, and his is second to
no house in the City in his line. His new
card appears in our columns to-day"

sTr A "mixea" political meeting was
held at Tyler on the LIST inst, which we find
recorded in the Index, of that place. The
character of the speakers may be indicated
by the fact that Amos Morrill,, was the
principal among them, and, says the Index,
'avowed himself radical" Other speak
ers were introduced and addressed the meet
ing, among which are named eight freed
men, ''all straight Union men," The meet
ing, although it was called for Smith coun-
ty, was organized by the election of a man
from Hopkins, as Chairman, and the ad-
dresses were all by persons not residents of
Smith. So, il is presumed that Smith coun-
ty does not abound in radicals.

BAY" The Galveston Civilian in copying
our paragraph in regard to that paper and
the visit of Col, Morphis to this place, says;
"W, are under many obligations, which
We remember with pleasure, to the Herald
and the people of tho Central Rloury King
dom" of Dallas county. In the good old
nntc-bcllum days we had long list ofpay-
ing patrons there, which is again swelling
70 its ancient proportions there, as it is
throughout the State. The people are in
telligcnt, entcrprising and well bred and
we trust the day is not FAR distant when
they will bread the W q" State, rs well rs
thousands of outer barbauNns both at the
North and in the islands ofthe sea- includ-
ing Galveston, the West Indies, and the
little island of England and the Emerald
Gin of the Sea. That last sack of -FOUR
sent us at the instance OF the editor of the
Herald satisfied us that there are many
worse things than being sacked and Swim
delled."

Tho Question Of Disfranohiscmcut.

. lN"m 400 N'M W. HNH ANN'H
/ oar special correspondent M Washing
. ton, in n letter dated the lsi inst, writes
~ follows In reference 10 the opinion of The
/ Attorney General on the subject OF dislran'
chisement, under the recent acts Of Con
/ gress
The opinion OF the Attorney General will
| doubtless have been telegraphod to the
! Times by It's ylgilRnt / legrnpho cores
pendent here long before this letter will
reach New Orleans, cannot, however,
refrain from remarking that some Of the
"loyallsts' in your city must be surprised
to learn that the words "giying aid and
com fort 10 the enemies Of the United States,
where they occur in the Constitution, aud
consequently In any law of Congress, have
no meaning whatever where the enemies
are rebels, but apply exclusively to foreign
wars, and to alien public enemies and
that all authority, English and American,
without exception, is TO that effect. I'm
less, therefore, there are persons who, in
1872, to the British, or, later, TO the Next
cans, gave laid or comfort only mon
strOus peryersiOn of these words in the
statutes could occasion any disiranchise-
ment under this head. So also the words
engaging in the rebellion only apply to
acts of participation indiclacle under the
law.
Neither can the term State officers be
legally applied to military officers, police
men, taXgatherers, assistant deputy street
commissioners, constablcs, notarics public,
school directors, commissioners of courts
TO take dispositions, overscers of the poor,
inspectors of commodities, weighers, qua
gers, and the numbcrless petty and incon-
sequent posts Of counties, cities towns and
parishes. In short, the regular officers Of
the State are to be Disseminated from Off
GERS of any chartered municipality within
and under the State. Whether the charter
be general or special. e., by way of n
State law erecting, etc, with vested powers,
or of special franchise vested in the pco.
pie of particular locality or for n particu-
lar public purpose.
As to officers of State who have "taken
an oath TO support the Constitution of the
United States this must be taken to mean
where that oath was qualification for
office by force of the National Constitution.
But the latter requires only the oath from
Legislators, executive and judicial officers
of tho State, and when taken by any official
of the State not Of one Of these three classes,
or by any oincef oil private corporation,
it was no part of his qualification, and,
therefore, could with no propriety be said
to be taken by him 'as an officer"
The Attorney General, in his opinion,
takes the ground that every doubt must
90 in favor of the citizen. His interpreta-
ton, which General Grant will order the
Generals in command of military districts
to be guided by, will put n stop to the un-
precedented prescriptions SO justly COM
planned of.

Gay" We regret to say that the prospect
is very gloomy one to the farmer in this
section for his crop, Already the rust has
attacked the wheat in many instances, and
some farmers think thy will not make
seed, This is not generally the case, how
ever and We hope that our fears may be
exaggerated. As long as the rains contin-
ne as now, there is but poor encouragement
for crops either Of corn or wheat, We hope
for the best however.

p65- In copying an article from the Nav.
asota Ranger, on Gen. Grifhn's order in re.
gard to juries, the Galveston Bulletin says
s1n connection with the above we may
remark, that Major Hunsaker, attorney for
the Freedmen's Bureau, states as TO the
practical operation of the law, that it is
not intended to put Sambo in the jury box
unfortunately, but only to put such as
come up to the requirements demanded Of
white jurors. For instance, he says, that
in the county of Galveston, he can furnish
a list Of one hundred and fifty household
ers, who are within the purview Of the State
law qualified in oil but color. The names
being put into the wheel with those Of white
men similarly qualified, will, as he thinks,
neutrali1e the prejudiees Of some white ju-
rors, and enable him to obtain Justice for
black men in cases where il is now impos-
sible, because Of mate prejudice residing
in the minds Of many against black face.

in all this country at that time to
modest or make afraid the indigcn-
jous inhabitants of North Eastern
Texas.
our Mr. 7, being an carly settler
aud the country Mt that time being
very sparscly settled, the emigrants
and those prospecting for home in
the Western wild, made it conven-
i"nt to stop, at least for the night,
with friend T., that they might
learn something of the country from
him, as he was at least presumed to
be able to give such information as
they desired to know.
Now Mr., f. was a good citizen in
his way-that is, he was upright and
honorable in his dealings with his
fellow men, and attended to his own
business or in other words, he had
but one failing, an th"t was Pc
ruliar idiosyncracy Of mind, that
caused him to imagine the most
strange, unreasonable and ridicu-
lous stories, and believe them to be
Octadi facts, and he would tell them
10 his guests with all the solcmnity
and seriousness that could charac-
teriHc country parson on n funeral
occasion.
One evening some travellers from
che older States stopped with Mr.,
i. for the night and after supper,
the travellers began to ask great
many questions about the country,
its soil. climate, &c, and one of the
travellers having heard something of
a Texas Norther, but not knowing
really what it was, asked F. for n
description of a Norther, which he
readily gave them in the following
style;
"a Norther is a sudden change in
the weather from heat to cold and
it can change in this country quick
cr than any place on earth for in
stance: last Spring / was down at
the lake fishing; it was very warm
pleasant evening, and the frogs had
come up and poked their heads out

We're hollcring and appeared to be
as happy as frogs could be, and the
trout fish were jumping out of the
water in every direction, when all
of sudden, Il Norther came up
and it came up so quick, and was so
darned cold, that the lake troze over
in a second well it froze so quick,
that the frogs did not have time to
pull their heads under the water,
and the ice caught every one Of
them around the neck, and there
they had to stay until the ice thaw-
cd; and ! reckon there was at least
ten thousend trout fish that were
lying on top of the ice. You see
they had jumped up out of the wa
ter, and the lake froze over before
they got back. "--JefersOn Bulletin
