The spread of the Republican organization
into every Southern State is most hopeful
sign for the Nations welfare. No more en-
thusastic or respectable Convention has been
held anywhere than was that of Texas,
which convened at Houston, on the Fourth.
an appropriate day. A very large audience
was gathered, many of whom had ridden
over 100 miles, on horseback. Ex-Governor
Pease, always a loyal man, was Chairman.
Twenty-six counties, forming the most pop
ulous and wealthy portion of the State. were
represented by delegations.
The resolutions are sound to the core -
The first indorses the National Republican
party as the means of national salvation. and
calls all true men to rally to its support. In
the second, the party declares itself compos-
ed OF unconditional Union men. The third
indorses the reconstruction acts of Congress.
The fourth denounces the Rebel States Of
ficials as an insuperable impeachment to re-
construction, and demands their removal
Inc NTH advocates system of free common
schools; the sixth an equitable division OF
the public States lands; the seventh ex.

FOR PRESIDENT,
ULYSSES S. GRANT,
flf fiarf OF ILLINOIS. rE

TIE WASHINGTON CHRONICLE agrees with
the ideas advanced in a late article in this
paper, as to the duty Congress to, exercise
a supervisory power over the formation Of
State Constitutions. 1t sensibly argues that
tine power to examine the character of its
Government when State is admitted, does
not cease with the act of admission. II 1t
did, such authority would be mockery, and
an absurdity. To-day the State is admitted
with Republican Constitution and to-
morrow the game State calls Convention
and makes Its Anti-Republican. sraf
But the Chronicle errs in supposing Con-
gress has any power to pass a general law
regulating State Constitutions, restraining
their frequency, or interfering with their
work, in any respect save one. Congress
not only has the right, but possesses the duty
of guarding the Republican character of the
States. That essential characteristic 1t
is bound to guarantee. Its assent is not
necessary, as the Chronicle supposes, to the
taking Of the word "White" out of the
Maryland Constitution, because that is part
Of the werk of making Republican Form,
but its interference must be made when any
State attempts to put such feature into her
Government.

HISTORICAL REPETY7YoNS.

History repeats itself in many instances,
If not in all. Macaulay, in describing Sir
Edward Seymour's violent and INSCRIPTIONS
opposition to the policy of William III, has
well pictured small but noisy class of men,
existing in our country at the present day.
The services rendered to the English nation
by William, and the dangers through which
1t had passed, before as well as after the
flight of james, were perfectly well known
to Seymour. Yet after they were all over,
after the nation was at peace, and unthreat-
ened from any hostile quarter, Seymour and
few violent malcontents, persisted in pre-
tending that the nation was never in so
great peril. The historian says:-
"Seymour, exasperated by finding that
"no party were inclined to support his pre-
tentions spoke with extravagant violence.
He, who could well remember the militia
Try despotism of Cromwell, who had been
ian active politician in the days of the
Cabal, and who had seen his own beauti-
full country turned into Golgotha by the
Bloody Circuit, declared that the liberties
OF the nation had never been in greater
" danger than at that moment, and that
their doom would be fixed if a courtier
should be called to the chair"
There is similar class now. There are
men who remember when Sumter was fred
on; when the whole of Lees army was in
Pennsylvania, and armed mobs held New
York in terror. They can well recollect,
when in time of peace, Buchanans Admin
istration was selling United States bonds in
the market, at ninety cents on the dollar.
They can remember when every department
of the Government was filed with traitors
using every effort to hand the Republic over
to dismemberment.
And yet they declare now, as they did not
when these conditions existed, that the ma
ton is in danger, that liberty is threatened
by the men whose valor saved it, and that
in quenching the fire of the rebellion among
the ruins it caused, we are in greater danger
than when the flames were in full blaze.
Such hypocrisy needs no exposure. If
these indictments were honest they would
be fools; as they are not, every one knows
them to be the disappointed men who failed
in their expectations that the Rshall;on
would succeed.

LI7ERA TURE AND 10 URNALISAf

THE LADIES REPOSITORY (Poe & Hitchcock,
CincinnatD for July should have had an earlier
notice. Like It's predecessors, 1t Is rich In en-
cravings and typographical execution. It's liter
AIRY matter should insure Its cntrce into every
Christian family.
THE SIXTH VOLUME of The Round Table begins
with the first issue for July. The paper has al
tanned unequivocal success, and is now q firmly
established institution of the metropolis. Its
editors, however, not satisfied with past achieve
ments are determined by every possible excr-
ton to elevate and improve The Round Table to
the highest attainable standards. The principle
of securing the very ablest writers for each and
every department, which has been found so sue
cessful during the past year, is to be rigidlv nd
hered to for the future, but ahpl!hed In scope so
to embrace all possible force spirit and vrricty
Politically, THE ROUND TABLE will continue
absolutely independent, and, as heretofore, the
steadfast advocate of Free Trade. Various ar
rangements have been effected for securing nov
ell valuable, and interesting features, not only in
the usual articles, but In serials and correspond
ence; and the Conductors promise that no efforts
shall be lacking on their part to make The ROUND
TABLE, in all respects an influential advocate Of
enlightened Progress and an honor to American
Literature.
The Washington Star commenced Its thirtieth
volume on the LIST inst, and is enlarged by the
addition of a column to each page. It is good
evening paper and has been exceedingly success
full.
The Baltimore Republicans, through very
large and influential committee, had an interview
with numerous members of Congress Tuesday,
relative to the national regulation of suffrage
The subject will not, for various reasons, be
taken up at this session, but there is no reason
able doubt that 1t will be promptly and sati.fac-
torily done, at the regular session.
We give elsewhere various crop reports from
different sections. A letter from Pennsylvania,
penned by capable observer, makes most en-
couragug exhibit of the yields in the regions
near Philadelphia. The wheat crop of &c and
60, in those counties, was almost total failure,
frym the depredations of the weevil. This year
the crop will be heavy one The Harvest Home
celebrations of 1867 must be season of unusual
thankfulness for the blessings of Providence.
We publish elsewhere the House reconstruc-
ton Bill, as it was passed Tuesday. The bill in
the Senate is different In lis provisions but Is still
under discussion.

WHAT MALL BE DONE WITH
1TEYTCOS

Maximilian has been shot. There was.
doubtless, strong excuse for the shooting
for he was nothing more nor less than n land
pirate and he had shot several Mexican cep-
erals whom he took prisoners. But II was n
miserable stroke of policy, and must weaken
rather than increase the moral strerp 9Th of
the government which Juarez pretends IN
represent. The truth is that there is no
government in Mexico, and there is no pros
pcct OF any. Juarez is opposed by other
factions; indeed by the terms ofthe Constitu-
ton which he pretends to support he is not
lawful President. Life is unsafe prop-
erty is without protection; selfish, unprinci-

years there seems no prospect of improve.
ment.
1t is to be remembered, in this connection
that the government of Macmillan at one
period of its existence, gave promise of
strength and possible permanency. 1t would
no doubt have served the first two essentials
