A TESTIMONIAL, ETc.--I have much
pleasure in introducing Professor Tovell
to the young men of Memphis, and to
the business community generally, as a
gentleman worthy of their confidence
and patronage. Professor lowell has
been known to me for many years, and
it comes within my personal knowledge
to say that, as one Of the professors Of
the Oldest Commercial Colleges in Mis-
souri,, located at ST. Louis, he enjoyed
the reputation of an accomplished and
most iudefatigable teacher. / say thus
much, not less in the interest of the
cause of education in this city, than as
matter of justice to Professor lowell
himself; for l am fully persuaded that
in Professor Towel will be found not
only a thorough and pains taking teacher
in the special departments of study pur-
sued at the Desoto Commercial College,
but also an important reinforcement Of
the professional esrps Of Memphis. l
know of no way in which young men
can get so ample & return for their
investment Of lab'r and money as by
patronizing the Desoto Commercial
College. S. II. Fem. 7

Can the lands of citizens of the
late Confederate States be confsca-
ted by Congress-? Has Congress
the power under the constitution Of
the United States TO confiscate the
property of persons engaged in the
late rebellion without q trial and
conviction for the crime of treason?
Congress has adopted certain pol
icy TO reconstruct tho rebellious
States embraced in the military
bills-that policy proposes to restore
the States upon certain terms there
in set forth-now the question pre-
sents itself, il the States come up
sauarely to the conditions and re-
auircments of the military bills, can
any power in the government dis
turb the rights and security guar
anteed by those bills?
Congress can pass laws defining
crime and its punishment, but Con-
Cress cannot exercise judicial pow
crs and declare persons guilty OF
treason and confscate their proper
ty. Persons charged with treason
must be tried and found guilty by
the courts of the country having ju-
risdiction Of such cases. All trials
for treason in the late rebellion
must be under the laws existing at
the time the crime was committed
and not by any law Of Congress
passed since the rebellion. This be-
ing true, a party convicted Of trea-
son, would have his property con
fiscated during mis- life, after bis
death it would belong 70 his heirs
or legal representative

thousand Ut our people took no

the rebellion, they, of course were

not have committed treason under
our laws their property of course
cannot be coniiscatod. Their con-
fiscation can only be very limited

at confscation will involve the coun,
try in vcXatious law suits, immense
and ruinous costs and expense with
out bcneflting the government and
having no good results. The dispo-
sition of the party in power is to
secure political strength rather than
the ruin of personal fortunes to

The Postal System,

there exists in the Post office De
partmcnt n desire to improve the
postal affairs in Texas to u great
and most satisfactory degree. All
that is needed to this end is the co.
operation Of the people Of this state,
All attempts Of the Government
to give our people postal facilities
will be vain until tho roads are made
such as shall admit o? the passage
of mail stages, on fast timo, at all
seasons, over the designated routes.
The first then to be done is, to make
good roads.
The plan is this. a daily mail
is now established from New Or
leans to Houston by ny Of Sabine
Pass, Beaumont and Liberty, run
ming through to Sabine in 16 hours.
This mail will most certainly be put
through on schedule time. Those
who have undertaken it, have capt.
tai and influence. We violate no
confidence when we point to the
star line of steamers and to Moses
Taylor, of New York, as being be-
lieved to be at the bottom of the en-
tcrprise.
From Beaumont, it is dcsi gned to
establish a weekly limo Of coaches
carrying the mail via Woodvillc,
Homer and Tyler to GAINESVILLE in
Red River county, at the rate of six
miles per hour. When the fact is
established that the mail by this
route can be carried more speedily
and certainly than by any other, it
will be increased to daily service.
To effect this the main thing wanted
is GOOD ROADS.
From Liberty daily line Of four
horse coaches carrying the nail at
the rate of six miles per hour, via
Lexington, Sumner and Crockett to
Dallas. TO effect this the main
thing wanting is also good roads,
From Navasota daily line to
Crockett.
From Bryan a daily limo to Waco
and Weatherford. Good roads a.
gain.
From Brennan u daily line to
Austin.
From Columbus q daily line to
San Antonio.
1t is proposed to have post Of
fee room on the steamers from
Brashear to Sabine Pass, and also
on the cars thence to Houston. and
Bryan and Columbus, and to have
the distributing office of Texas in
these rooms.
By this plan the mail can be ex,
pcdited to all parts of Texas from
forty eight hours to ten days, and
made at the same time certain as
we'll as sncc'ly.
Everything whatever h Il t is
wanted, is for the people to take
such interest in theii own affairs us
to invite the facility ofspccd. And
this can, in the main, be done by
making the roads passablo in all
weathcrs. -
1t some person interested, say the
editor of some newspaper, or the
owner Of some largo tract of land,
to be benefited by making it aces
siblo, would tako some five or six
weeks, AT once, and spend it, urging
upon the county courts and the PEG.
pie, tho Importance of early and
efficient action in the matter, it
could be accomplished. The roads
must be graded, and the creeks
must be bridged, and there is not a
section of anysofthe roads indicated,
but this can be made into turn
pike, without calling upon the peo-
pie for any material sacrifice,
ample time to secure all the advan-
tages before the winter sets in.
We speak by the card, and we
call upon our cotemporaries who arc
interested, to arouse public attcn-
ton at once, and secure for the
whole state the great advantages
now oficred.-HouSton Telegraph.

1t is known, though not general
", that the work on the Railroad
here, has been somewhat retarded
for the past few weeks, on account
of the unsettled state of public af-
fairs, and the uncertainty of the
Company being able, lowing TO this
cause,) to raise the large amount of
funds necessary t o complete the
work in the short time specified.
We are much pleased to learn
through letters from Col. Epperson,
now in New York, to Capt. J. M.
Daniels, that all difficulties will like
ly be removed in very short time,
and the affairs ard finances of the
company placed in q condition that
cannot be effected by political agita-
tons or any other cause.
General Fremont has sailed for
Europe on important business, and
to close arrangements for European
capital.
We are fully satisfied on one point,
and are authorized to say that there
is one thing which gives moro con-
fdcnce in this road, both in the
North and Europe, than all else
combined, and that is the lands be-
ing decided to the company for stock.
Our citizens have it in their pow
or to see the road built in spite of
all opposition and misfortune by
selling a part Of their lands, now
WORTHLESS to them, and we are GER
tain, from the large amounts already
subscribed, that all who have not
done so will at once come forward
and swell tho amount to such a
quantity as will insure the full COM
pletion of the work at the earliest
possible moment.
Tho great benefits to be derived
from the roads is so well understood
and appreciated by all our people
that we will not roiterato it at pres
cnt.
We have but to do our united du-
ty in tho premises, by the use of
our landed capital, and all will be
well. We say to all, be of good
cheer, for the road ,oiU be built
