BroWnloW's Govern
ment."

Inc Legislature, as We announ-
ced last week, met on Monday,
the It'll. In the Senate, D. ". c..
Senter, Of Granger, was elected
Speaker; d. NJ. Nelson, of Brad
ley, Principal Clerk; VIM. Baker,
Engrossing Clerk; VIM. 7. Cate,
Principal Doorkeeper, and B. T. R.
Foster, Assistant Doorkeeper. In
the House, F. S. Richards, of
Shelby, was elected Speaker;
George e. Grisham, Principal Clerk;
Cunningham, Assistant Clerk.
On Tuesday, Brcwnlow sent in
his message. 1t is characterized
by extreme bitterness and unchar-
itableness against his political OPP
ponents and the disfranchised
whites. After the usual prelimi-
nary congratulations, he proceeds
to castigate what he calls the ene-
mics of the State government, in
dulging in that harsh language so
characteristic of the man.
The Conservative press both in
and out of the State, and news.
paper correspondents who have
not the fear Of Brownlow before
their eyes, come in for full share
of gubernatorial wrath.
On this point Brownlow re-
marks: The Rebels and the So
called Conservative press Of the
country waged war upon the
State government; q large corps
of newspaper correspondents ira
versed the land, and studiously
misrepresented every occurrence
of the canvass, as we'll as the gen.
.eral questions involved in the
struggle.
While the parson does not once
offer the slightest recommends
ton looking to extending suffrage
to the DISTINGUISHED whites, he
speaks of the odious 10th section,
which disqualifes negroes from
holding office and sitting On juries,
and virtually advises its repeal.
He recommends that the re-
ward Of $1,000 offered for the
capture of Ex-Governor Isham G.
Harris, be withdrawn, as he con-
siders some Of the Conservative
speakers in the late canvass as
worse than Harris, and just as
much deserving of punishment.
Brownlow earnestly recon-
mends the payment of loyal men
for losses sustained during the war.
This will involve an expense
Of several millions of dollars, but
he thinks that Congress will reim-
burse the State for this outlay.
The State militia he warmly
defends and promises to disband
them altogether, as soon as the
Rebels in West and Middle Ten
nessee behave themselves properly.
The message recommends Leg
islation looking to the protection
of negroes who may have been
thrown out of employment, and
compliments colored folks general
iy for their nnanimity in voting
the Radical ticket.

pS A wild and heavy snow
storm visited New Hampshire on
Monday, the 30th ult.-one of the
seyerest experienced in many
years. Boreas must have wanted
to "blow" rather prematurely.-
People infer from this, though,
that we are to ''enjoy" an early
and an inclement winter, though
there are weatherwise folks who
predict for us just the opposite.

record among the deaths from yellow fever
during the past season at Galveston, the
name Of our former townsman, STEPHEN
ScHAEFER. He was resident Of our town
for several years before the war, and had
won, by his strict integrity, and business
habits the esteem Of oil who knew him
When the war broke out, he Joined the first
company raised in this place, Capt. Goods
Battery, and remained with it until the
surrender in 1865, never having been alb
sent from his command during the entire
war. Among his comsades Of the camp,
he was particularly popular, and we ven
ture the assertion that every member of
the Battery will drop tear of regret when
his eye meets this announcement. As an
evidence Of his generous heartedpess, we
will mention one circumstance which came
to our police during the last year of the
war. In 1864, we think PARTON of his
company, which was attached TO the Army
ofTennsssee, was furloughed to come home.
Our friend Schaefer was one Of the lucky
ones and drew furlough, Having no rel
alive in Texas, he generously gave his fur
Tough to young man in this county, who
had relatives here, and was not SO fortu-
nate. This fact We record as an index of
the character Of the man. The deceased
had no relation in this country that we are
aware Of, but leaves large circle Of friends
in this community, who esteemed him for
his innate worth a. citizen and his gene
rous oble-heartedness rs friend. Peace
to his ashes.

TELEGRAPHIC.

RICHMOND, Oct. 24.-The second
day of the election in this city, up
on the question of calling a conven-
ton and for delegates for the same,
passed off without any disturbance.
The Radicals and Conservatives
were actively employed all day in
bringing voters to the polls.
After the announcement of the re-
suit of tho frat day the Conserva-
tiyes were much encouraged and
are still confident OF the victory.
There were many negroes who
had forgotten the names given when
they registered, and many more
have left the city since the registra-
ton.
The polls closed last night with a
white majority of 521. 1t is esti-
mated that there are the same num-
ber of Radical whites and Conserv-
alive blacks in the city to vote. The
vote upon the question of calling a
convention cannot yet be ascertain
ed, but nine-tenths of the whites
voted against it.
At the solicitation of Radicals,
Gen. Schofield has ordered the polls
to be opened in three:lwards again
tomorrow. Much dissatistactio n
exists among the Conservatives in
consequence. The military were on
duty all day. but their services were
not called for by the city police.
Returns from counties indicate
that the colored men have voted en-
masse, for the Radicals, and are in
favor of convention. The line be-
tween the blacks and whites is dis
tinctly drawn. Nelson county gives
1l4S for, and 500 againt a conven =
ton. Harris, Radical, 1924; c. f.

nay The presence among u, at this time
of the myriads Of grasshoppers, is giving
the farmers considerable uneasiness They
fear that these pests will deposit their eggs
this fall, and that when Matched in the
spring, they will do great damage to the
wheat and o,her young vegetation. A wri-
ter in the Mckinney Enquirer states, how
ever, that the young invariably migrate as
soon as they are able to fly. This theory is
attested also by a gentleman of this place,
who asserts that il has been fully demon
strated in this county in past years. This
being the fact, there is no fear Of damage
from them. There is little or no wheat
sowp as yet, and our farmers have discon-
tinued sowing until colder weather destroys
or drives the grasshoppers of.

DEATH OF GEORGE WhKENs
KENDALL.-We are in mourning
for our brother; and multitudes
here, and in all parts of our country,
will bow down and mourn with us.
GEORGE WILKENs KENDALL, our
senior associate, and one of the
founders of this paper, Ia no more.
Yesterday, just after our evening
edition had been given TO the public,
came tho following dispatch to
Us:
sSAN ANTONIO, Oct. %, 1857
George w. Kendall died Last even.
ing, at six minutes after nine o'clock,
of congestive chill, at his home,
near Boerne. N. LEWIS.
Yes suddenly comes upon US the
startling announcement that he who
left us a few months ago for his
mountain home, full ofvigor, health,
activity and seeming certainty of
q long continuance of his useful life,
to which his avocations, his habits,
his salubrious surroundings and
his cheerful and hopeful spirit SO
much conduced' has been struck by
the hand of death, and now lies
motionless and inanimats-dcad to
us for all timel
This is hardly the time-the
shock is too sudden, we are too full
of grief-to now speak with any
thing like elaboration to him whom
VIC have lost-whose loss is so
irreparable to us. When we
have a calmer moment, when the
weight which now rests upon us
Is removed, we will try to speak
fully and fifty Of him who was so
near and dear to us, and who bad
such msliitudes of friends and no
enemy.
Mr.. Kendall was a native of YER
mont, and had attained his sixtieth
wear. He had made his home, of
late years, in the mountainous
seGion northwest Of San Antonio,
Texas in a county named after
him, having bis residence at Post
Oak Spring, near the village of
Boern. His wife and four children
were the mourners who gathered
round bis bedside. But we can soy
now no more.-Picayune 23d.

WHATEVER may be said Of the merits OF

and beautiful stitch, and adapted to oil
kinds of family sewing. and noiaeless when
In operation, but is Of superior workman
ship, combining usefulness with elegance.
It is, in fact, o sewing machine that every

months and dc not hesitate to pronounce it
all that is claimed for it.-ED. HERALD.
