TEXAS CATTLE TRADE-The extension
Of railroad facilities in the South west is
destined to have potent effect on the beef
and cattle trade. The Buffalo Commercial
Adcc1iser informs that an intelligent and
perfectly reliable gentleman from Northern
Missouri has recently given that paper
some almost astounding facts with regard
to the number Of Texas cattle that arc about
to be brought into market. The Illinois
drovers are after this trade. One promi-
ncnt man in that business has recently
contracted to deliver between 10000 and
10000 cattle at one Of the new frontier
stations Of the Union Pacific Railroad Eas-
tern Division, for shipment over the Han
nibol and st. Joseph railroad, on the way
to market the coming season 1t will take
from 1900 to 5000 cars to transport this
enormous number.
The local and prohiJitory laws Of Kansas
and Missouri have hitherto prevented the
driving Of such vast droyos of cattle through
those States. The extension of railroads
beyond these boundaries, reaching out to-
ward the farthcst Far West, is rapidly OBJ
Waiting this difficulty, and now the Texas
"broad horns are coming An experienced
droycr, residing in Texas, estimates that
over 100000 head will be shipped from
that State to the North aud East within ono
year if the promised railroad facilities arc
furnished; and Of this there seems but it,
tic doubt, as several Of our frontier railroad
lines are stretching out that way with great
ropidity. The trade is worth seeking.
This dcyolopmen.wiIlbring untold wealth
to Texas, and will soon more than qualru-
pie the value Of her countless herds. Two
dollars and half per hcad-Gnc, large, ma
turcd cat,lo--has hitherto been about the
average price in Texas

CoLoRED Men AS Orr1cEuoLDEEs.-T
following letter is addressed to the Rev. II.
II. Garnet, pastor Shiloh Presbyterian
church, New York, by Major Delany, a
colored soldier:
Nv Dear Sir,-In such times as these it
requires men of the greatest practical cx-
perience, acquired ability, mature intelli-
gence, and discrctiOnal wisdom, to speak
and act for the race now an integral part
and essential element in the body-politic of
the nation. Therefore do most sincerely
hope that you and the other leading minds
among our people may take your stand,
speak out, and define your true sentiments
in relation to the great points now agita-
ting the public mind, especially the black
mans claims to office.
The great principle always advocated
by our leading men has been to claim for
us, as race, all the rights and privileges
belonging to an American citizen Of the
most favored race. But do not think
that those who have so long, so steadily
and determinedly stood up as you and
others of us have done, even to national
concession Of these claims, ever contem-
plated taking any position among our fel-
low-citizens till zee at least should be ready
and qualified. 1t follows, as matter of
course, that more than We should be
ready before it is possible to attain to such
positions. am sure that upon this point
there will be but one sentiment among the
old-line leading men Of our race, cotem-
poraneous with us, when the subject is
placed before them.
/ have been induced to pen this letter
to YOU by seeing in the telegraph pro-
ceeding of the Columbia, S. c., Conven-
ton claim put forth by Mr.. j. Wright,
in behalf of our race, for the Fice-Presi-
dency of the United States. I hope no
such nonsense as this will for moment
be entertained. Our enemies would de-
sire no heavier nor stronger club with
which to break the heads Of our friends
and knock GU. our brains than this. We
are not children, but men, compromising
the entire situation, and should at once
discountenance anything that would seem
ingly make us cats paws and ridiculous
in the eyes and estimation Of the political
intelligence Of the world. Let colorcd
men be satisfied to take things like other
men, in their natural course and time.
Prepare themselves in every particular
for local municipal positions, and they may
expect to attain to some others IN Tune.
Mr.. Wright is young man OF some
twenty seven or twenty-eight years OF age,
and consequently without any political
experience, except such as acquired since
the war commenced, and therefore may
be excused for so palpable political
blunder. / am personal friend of his !;
therefore take the liberty of speaking
frankly about him. am, sir, for our race
and country at large, your friend,
NJ. r. DELANY.

issued the following circular:
"The United States Congress having
provided by special law for the organize.

suffrage without regard to color, and
having also provided for the removal Of all
officers who in any manner thwart or OBJ.

signed TO promote the better government
of the States lately engaged in the rebel
lion, by speeches or demonstrations at
public meetings in opposition thereto, will
be deemed good and sufficient cause for
their summary removal from office. The
same prohibition in regard to speeches and
demonstrations at public meetings will be
strictly applied to all officers holding ap
pointments from these headquarters, and
existing orders prohibiting the interference
of officers Of the army in elections will be
rigidly enforced in this district.n

GENERAL GRANT AND IMPARTIAL SUE
rKAGE.-Tho Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican writes as fol-
lows under date Of July 81:
"Just before the adjournment of Con-
grcss three or four Of the Oldest Republi-
cans in it called upon General Grant, and
had long conversation upon current po-
litical events. He knew we'll enough what
their object was-that they desired to
know if he was sound enough to run for
President. They found out two very i'm
portant facts-frst, that he is with Con-
grcss in its scheme Of reconstruction, and
consequently against the President; and
secondly, that he is. for manhood suffrage.
On this head he has made rapid progress.
Last winter he used to talk after this
fashion: Impartial suffrage is coming,
but the prcjudices Of the people arc strong,
and l would humor them, and l confess it
does seem little hard that We should en-
force equal suffrage upon the South while
we lack the moral courage to enforce it at
home" He used almost exactly this Ian
guagc last winter; but he talks in q differ
cnt strain now. He says now that man
hood suffrage has been established at
the South, the North must follow, and
make it universal. He believes it impos-
sible to stop now in the manhood-sull'rage
movement, and the part Of wisdom is to
make it universal as quickly as can be.
But he does not believe Congress has the
constitutional power to do 1.-THE States
must take the necessary action upon the
suhcct-that is, tho loyal States. General
Grant does not question the power of Con-
gress to establish impartial suffrage at the
South.

The number Of colored people in New
York city, which seventeen years ago was
10000, is now only 10000.
The same story will be told throughout
the South before many ycars.-R!chm0nd
Dispatch.
If it be true that the colored population
will decline so rapidly in consequence Of
being made free, the fact will doubtless be
gratifying to those who imagine that all
sorts Of social horrors are to result from
their emancipation and enfranchiscmcnt.
We apprehend no such disastrous consc-
quences from the great act Of national
Justice which has been done, nor do we
believe that the negroes will decline in
numbers. In the nature of things, how
ever, their relative numbers compared
with the whites must become gradually
less throughout the South. They will re-
ccivc no increase by immigration from
abroad for all time, while the white popu-
lation will be recruited both from the
North and from Europe for an indefinite
period, and the result will be in quarter
Of century that though the colored pco-
pie may advance in civilization and aug
mcnt considerably in numbers, they will
constitute less than fourth Of the aggre-
gate population of the South. They stand
now in the proportion Of four millions to
eight millions. These are facts which
should not be lost sight Of by the mere
politician, who regards the black element
as so much political stock in trade. The
true basis for parties is justice to all
and equal laws.-Raleigh Register (Rali-
caD.
The Register man writes scnsibly-lor a
Radical.
