TRIBUTE oF RESPECT.

To the Worshiptul Master, Wardens, ana
Brethern Of Phenir Lodge, No. 275, F. 3
4. NGsons.
We, your committee appointed at last
stated communication, to draft resolutions
expressive of this Lodge to the memory Of
our late brother, Thos, U, TOler, would re.
specially report the following:
ResolUed 1st That by the death of broth
err Toler, this Lodge has lost vigorous and
exemplary member, the church an active
and jealous christian, and the community
a useful and good citizen. As Mason, he
was patient to endure and intelligent to
direct In an eminent degree, he under.
stood and acted upon the tenets Of his
profession, brotherly love- relief and truth
always guided by the cardinal virtues, tenn
perance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice
His appearance and place in the Lodge
will never be forgotten.
The memory of his benign and cheerful
influence will ever be talisman TO infuse
new courage and. higher resolves when as
sembled around our Mystic altar.
In the church, he was a standard bearer
ever pointing his bretheren to the whitened
fields, reminding them that "the harvest is
ripe TO the reaper"
His christianity was exemplifed by hi:
daily walk and conversation.
He loved the church and his bre.heren
and was ever active in his efforts for the
conversion of those without,
In the community he was pillar OF
strength, sounding the alarm against In
temperance and Immordlity, fostering the
cause of education and general intelligence
and always ready to assist in every public
involvement. Well may we exclaim in the
language Of the lamented Webster, ale
still lives"
Such a man can never die, though bis
body should see eorroption, his good deed
and brilliant example will be continual
legacy of shining gold to those who knew
him.
May we unite in Initiating his example
and emulating his virtues. So when th'
Grand Warden Of Heaven shall call N
from earth, we may look upon a well spen
life, and with our departed brother, joyfullI
parinke Of the everlasting refreshments
prepared for the true and faithful in tn
Grand Lodge above.
Re,slred. %. That this Lodge wear th'
usual badge Of mourning for thirty days
Ps,olrsd 3D.. That the Secretary Of Thu
Lodge. furnish the children Of said deeeas-
ed brother with copy Of these resolutions
and that he also furnish 4 copy TO the Dial
las Herald for publication
All Of which is fratsrnally submitted.

Growing WEATHER - TnE Cnors.- The

quantity of rain fell, enough to perfectly
saturate the ground and cause the river to

a beautifully clear, warm, and spring-like

of the previous few days, as to start every
thing TO growing. Those who have plant
ed gardens rcjoiced in such weather; and
the farmers faces wore n satisfied air.
The Wheat is shootingup rapidly present
ing fine appearance. The rain has set
back operations some on corn ground, but
with the present sunshine, the ground will
soon be in blowing order,

had scarcely dried before VIC were visited,
on Wednesday night, by quite stiff North

first, but getting colder during the night;
until, on Thursday morning, there was

BJ- Judge Duval of the U. S. Court, now
in session at Austin, has decilcd "that the
payments made by debtors of the South, Of
iof interest to the c. S. Receiver, was not
"a valid payment and that the interest was
"still collectable," and further, "that du-
.'ring the civil war, interest was not stop
"ped by such war"
He also, on the sane principle, held that
the plan Of judgment by the principal TO the
ReceiSer, during the war, was not good

plea.

If. then, all the negroes should vote one
way and all the whites the other, the white
majority. would be 1000, 000-equal to the
present total vote of the South.-Thus,
saws Mr.. Blackwell, the South would con-
troll her own legislation, and at the same
time increase her representative influence,
because the emancipated slaves would be
counted rs whole in the basis Of repre-
sentation.
The example of New Jersey is cited In
that State, from 1915 70 1907, (then slave
State women and negroes voted on pre-
cisely the same footing, as is evidenced by
the following extract from the election laws
Of that State of 1907.
DSec. 9. Every voter shall openly and in
full yie~ deliver his or her ballot which
shall be h single written ticket containing
the names Of the person or persons, FOL
whom he or enc votes. etc.
Mr.. Blackwell adds: "Your Southern
legislatures can extend suffrage on equal
terms TO "all inhabitants" as the New Jer-
sew State Convention did in l776. Then,
SAYS be. 'let the Republicans In congress
refuse TO admit your Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes, il they dare. Ii so, they viii
20 under. Upon that issue fairly made
up, the men Of positive convictions would
rally round the new and consistent Demo
cratic party. The very element which has
destroyed slavery would side with the vic
torious South, and ''Out Of the nettle dan
ger you would pluck the flower safety
We are by no means so sanguine OF snc-
cess under this plan, says the GalvestCn
News, as its author seems to be- but It Is
due to his interest in the welfare Of the
South that we should present his sheme to
our readers. II will answer the purpose
Of a curiosity, even if it should effect nc
practical benefit.

ISpIASs.--From official information, re-
ceived by the Governor, from the Hon. H..
S. Coleman, County Judge of Erath county
we learn that Mr.. Nathan Dow and son, Of
that county, were murdered by the Indians
on the 23d ult. Whilst engaged in hauling
rails, they were attacked by the Indians and
killed. Another son of Mr.. Dow heard the
firing and ran TO the assistance of his faith
err and brother, but arrived only in time to
see the Indians leaving. The father and
son were scalped by the savages. II appears
that there we're different squads Of Indians
in that session at the same time. few
days before, party Of settlers surprised
an Indian camp and captured thirty or
forty head of horses. Mr., J. P. Boyd was
killed in this county by Indians last sum
mer-several other persons in the country
have been wounded 1.-The several fights and
skirmishes that have occurred.
We have learned that the Governor is
urging upon the military authorities, the
early establishment of post at Camp Col
orado. This has been promised by Gen.
Sheridan, but it is all important that it
should be done at an early moment. The
settlers are mueh discouraged, and fear to
undertake improvements, or even to at
tempt to make another crop. IL troops
could be sent at once TO that region, it would
give great relief
We also learn from reliable authority,
that the Indians are regular in their raids
upon the frontier statements Of Montague,
Clay and Cook counties, the post at Jacks
boro. being too far distant TO watch the
line North and East Of it. The Indians
came down from the Canadian river and
wichita mountains, north Of Red River, aud
arc enabled 10 cross over and do their mis-
chief without any kind Of hindranee. This
is really the most exposed locality upon the
whole frontier. II is to be hoped that the
Governor will succeed in getting q POST es-
tablisbed on Red River, 70 guard against
he inronds Of the savagss from that direc-
ton. We see from our San Antonio e.
changes. that about The LIST Of the month, q
body Of forty Of the red devils chased NJ.
Oatman. in Hano county. and succeeded
in getting Of with 9 large number Of
horses. We sincerely hope that the gal
liant Capt. Wilcox, Or some other one, vii
get 4 chance ut these nsrsuding scoundrels
and give them 9 taste Of Uncle Sans salt
pslFs.- Gazsffs.

sayn The committee appointed by the
Common Council of the City of Houston
have made preparations for the survey and
estimates of the proposed Ship Channel be-
tween that city and the bar at the enh ance
of Galveston Bay. The Telegraph says Of
the work:
"That the proposed channel is practica.
blu we have not doubt. Its expense will
not nearly equal the popular estimates
But its cost is not worth considering, com
pared with its immense benefits. The mo-
ment its practicability is determined, the
value of everything connected with llous
ton will be doubled, to begin; real estate,
lands, city credit. And this will be but
the beginning of n triumphant career OF
prosperity and growth. She would reach
hundred thousand inhabitrnts in five
years. The race between her and her sister
city of Galveston would then be neck and
neck, and would rebound TO the welfare Of
both"

vote in the House of r two-thirds vote the
veto of the President may yet kill it.
1t will be seen further that the conserva.

prominent Southerners in Washington, have
had meeting, and n free exchange Of
opinions seemed to dispel the gloom caused
by the vote Of the House.
