Before the present session commenced we
offered some good advice 70 Speaker Colfax
in relation 10 the course Il became him 10 pur-
sue as Speaker Of the House Of Represents
tives, We arc sorry to see that be has mot
proHted thereby, but that he continues to suffer
that branch OF Congress over which he pre-
sides to be disgraced by the unpariiamentary
violence, bunoonery and ungentlcmanly be-
havior Of some of its members The scenes
enacted in the House this session become the
more reprehensible In view Of the momentous
questions which are claiming the attention Of
Congress and upon the wise solution Of which
the future OF the nation depends. The important
issues Of the present day claim earnest action
and calm, statesmanlike consideration. The
work Of the hour IL the work Of clear-headed,
resolute men, and not Of frothy, scheming
politicians Conduct which in ordinary times
would be only contemplate, becomes now
revolving. When the President Of the United
States IL in danger Of impeachment; when the
Supreme Court Of the United States is 10 be
remodelled when the old system Of appoint
ments and removals IL to be swept away and
. new one substituted; when the States are TO
be reconstructed on loyal basis and read
misted TO their position in the Union, II Ia no
time for violent, abusive harangues, stale,
vulgar stories and worn out jokes on the floors
Of Congress.
II is mainly the fault Of the presiding efnccr

of Lawrence, is a bachelor. Noticing, ear
ly in the season, that one of his members,
q married lady, was not at meeting for sew
eral Sabbaths, he called to ask the reason.
As her reply was somewhat evasive, he
surmised that she "had nothing to wear"
and said, "you are waiting for your spring
bonnet. l suppose" Weeks passed, and
still she did not make her appearance. He
therefore thought he would call again. APP
preaching the house, he saw her sitting at
the open window, and blandly remarked,

miles north of this place, presented us on
Saturday last, with dozen fine apples,
raised on his place, which for size and rich
ness of favor will vie with any Of those
grown in the North or anywhere else. There
were several different varieties, both of ear
ly and late fruit, among them one or two
of mammoth proportions, called we believe,
the Queen" One of them measured four
teen inches in circumference. Such fruit
in such season rs the present, when il
was believed that the fruit Of all kinds
would be an entire failure, is abundant ev
idcnce of the adaptiveness Of this part o.
Texas TO the raising of fine fruit. The on
ly requisite is attention, and this is required
in all fruit countries.

The political canvass here has become

State. The entire independent press and q
considerable percentage Of the Republican

Republican nominee f0T Governor, on the
ground that be has long been notorious as

which are obnoxious 10 the people and cal

ination and defeated the popular preference
for another ard better man.
Gorham, in response, does not deny his
agency in the LOBBY, bat protests that be

THAT TEXAS TALE.-Some timo since we
republished from the New York Evening
Post an account Of planter in the interi-
or of Texas, who refused to go home from
q visit to his county town until he had kill.
cd q freedman, all Of which was vouched
for by Texian who, as it appeared, was
ready to swear to the truth Of the state
ment. Since then we have met with the
following paragraph from the Springfield
Mass.) Republican, decided and able or
gan o f the dominant party. II says
We printed lately story that seemed to
be authentic, about two Texian planters
who would not 60 home after conviva
meeting till they had "shot q negro" and
meeting an unlucky son Of Africa, did in
dulge their cxhuberant humor by shooting
him dead. The story turns out to be from
nm anti-slavery almanac twenty years old
Whether it was originally true we canno
soy but it has since figured in the history
of border rufian outrages in Kansas, ant
has done sufficient service without beint
pressed into the argument for militar!
ru 10 in the South. 1t must not be inferred
however, that we do not fully and hearth!
believe that freedmen are killed in Texa
at the rate of hundred per week in mer'
sport of rebel malice. Texas is so fa
off we can readily believe anything from
that quarter.

aar Major Gen. Geo. II. Thomas, appoin-
ted to succeed Gen. Sheridan in command
o { the Fifth Military District is native Of
Southampton County, Va, the place where
the sahgunary slave instruction took place,
in 1880. The Houston Telegraph says Of
him:
The belief in Gen. Thomas earnest devo-
ton TO Southern ideas and politics was so
strong that when the Virginia Convention
was in session in 1861 his name was con-
spicuous as one of the future chiefs. II not
the principal commander, Of the Virginia
forces which the Convention proposed to
put in the field. He wes warmly support
ed for the office, afterwards held by Gen.
Garnett, who was killed in the campaigns
in West Virginia, Of Adjutant General Of
the Virginia forces. At that time whilst
the more conse rvative ideas and characters
of Lee, johnson and others Of the old army
Of Virginia birth-were regarded by the
political leaders Of secession with some
doubt and distrust, Garrett and Thomas
were believed 10 come up TO the mark in
their idens Of State sovereignty, and Of the
policy of Southern independence. There is
a mystery in regard TO the sudden change
of Gen. Thomas views, which the future
historian and his own biographer can alone
solve.
