Dd" A bridge across the Trinity River at
this point is one Of the most pressing wants
Of our town and county, and one that
should be supplied without delay. We are
glad to record the fact that the subject is
now being agitaicd by some Of our most en-
terprising citizens, and we hope soon TO
announce that something substantial Is be-
ing done in the premises. Our citizens,
usually SO wide awake to everything per.
tanning to their pecuniary interests, have
been strangely remiss in this instance. No
argument is needed from us TO prove that
property Of every kind In this community
would be enhanced by the construction OF
the bridge at least fifty per cent, while the
trade and importance Of the town would be
doubled. Who will tbke the lerd . We
suggest the formation of joint stock com
pany for the purpose, and are satisfied that
On amount sufficient to construct the bridge
and causeway over the bottom can be read
lily obtained.

FOREIGN IMaIoRATIoN.-It is Q common
opinion among those at distance, who
are not familiar with our population, tina,
there are but few II any foreigners in thu
northern, or wheat growing portion Of Tex.
as. Particularly is this the case among the
great mass Of Germans, who land in the
Northern cities and ultimately find theil
way TO the Northwestern States.
We are Informed, by a very intelligen,
German friend, resident Of this county
that he has frequently had letters from
friends in Europe and the Northwestern
States, making inquiries as to the climate
SOIL productions, and particularly as to the
reception emigrants will meet in Northern
Texas, whether or not they will find
friends from their own country, with whom
they can converse, associate So. He furth.
er I'M forms US that those who write to him
are DESTROYS Of coming to climate where
the winters are milder, and that many Of
them are men Of means who would add
greatly to the wealth Of the country, and
are principally farmers, who know how to
cultivate the soil, aud make it yield to its
utmost capacity.
For the information of such as are seek.
ing homes, and in reply to tho enquiries
above made, we will state that in this DIAL.
las) county, there has been for long time
been quite numerous population Of Ger.
mans and French. The colony which 10.
Gated at Re-Union, miles west of this
place in 1866, under the auspices of NJ.
Considerant, and which was broken up as
Colony, several years ago, left many Of
its members among us; besides which, there
has been gradual independent emigra-
ton from the old country. These families
are scattered over the county, and are all
doing we'll. We hardly know Of an in.
stance where any of them have failed to
accumulate property. Many of them are
living in this town, and are noted as being
among our most industrious and energetic
citizens. We are informed that in the
county, there are not less than sixty votes
among this population, which according to
the usual per centage, would give something
overa population of 500 in the county. These
figures are given at random, but they will
approximate to the truth, and we further
assure these foreigners who are seeking in.
formation on the subject that they will find
nodifiiculty in finding persons here, French,
Germans, Swiss &C., with whom they can
converse in their mother tongue, and that
they will meet with most hearty welcome
from our people. They will find a climate
much more genial than that Of any Of the
Northern or Northwestern States, and o
virgin soil that will richly repay the labor
of the busbandman. Good farmers are
needed here, and would do exceedingly well,
and we know we speak the sentiment Of
our whole aeople when we cordially invite
the industrious, frugal foreigner to our
prairies.

THE MILITARY REMovALs.-We
greatly hope that the "somi official
suggestion of our telegraphic dis
patches, to the effect that the entire
Cabinet had dissapproved Sheridan S
removal ofcivil officers in Louisiana,
and agreed in the opinion that such
removals were not contemplated by
the reconstruction acts of Congress
may prove to be true. We cannot
see, however, how the Cabinet could
come to any other conclusion, nor
how the President can fail to re-
move Sheridan from his position
Ifhe fail to do so, it will be evi.
dent that it is because he fears Shor-
idah or Racicalism, IN impression
which will do him more harm than
he has received good from all his
previous courage and indepen-
dence. 'ia'.- H" ~eH'
That Sheridan and other military
commanders have construed the
acts of Congress as giving them the
power to remove State officers, only
confirms the universal Judgment of
the entire unfitness Of military men
to exercise authority in civil affairs.

MARRIAGE OF AN INDIAN CHIEF re
AWHITE WoMAN.-Hole-in the Day,
the celebrated Indian chief has
taken a new wife, this time varying
the programme by selecting a white
woman as his mate. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hole-in- e.Day are at present
stopping at the Merchants Hotel.
Mrs. H., we understand, was a
domestic, employed in the laundry
department at the hotel in Wash
ington, where Hole-in-the- Day and
his suite were putting up during
the recent treaty conference. His
Chippewa Highness saw the young
lady in question, who was comely
in person, and bethought himself
she would make o fine accession to
his harem. So he proposed, and
without much ado or formality, was
married after the manner of Chris
tians.
Mrs. Hole-in the. Day is a young
lady of modest and intelligent APP
pearance. Her royal husband, we
understand, does not design to take
her to Crow Wing, to his harem of
half a dozen or more Indian wives.
That would not be very pleasant
for tho last Mrs. III. He designs
living at st. Cloud, in the style and
manner of "white folks"
He is abundantly able 10 do this,
as he is a man of great wealth.
having large income as anuities
from the government, and a large
farm well stocked with horses, cows,
etc, besides his reservation of q mile
square at Crow Wing. Hele-in-the-
Day is an Indian of no ordinary
kind. He is the smartest man in
his tribe, and has long been DESTROYS
of living after the style and manner
of his pale-faced brethren. His
ambition can now be satisfied

May nth, 1867.
Respectfully returned with copy
asked for.
The "diary" purports to be one
for 1864, and the 1eaues cut or torn
from it probably contained entries
Of that year, and were thus de-
stroyed by Booth himself. II is alb
solutely certain that the diary is, in
all respects as when it camo to my
hands, and Col. Congor, who was
prominent in the pursuit and cap
ture of Booth, after having careful
ly examined it in my presence on
yesterday, declared its condition to
be precisely the same as when he
took it from Booths body after he
had been shot, the writing in it be-
ing the same and all which it con.
tanned. Col. Congcr was examined
before the Judiciary Committee of
