Every exchange from the frontier
regions of Texas, gives detailed ac-
counts of Indian raids, murders and
depredations. How long, in the
name Of suffering humanity and
murdered women and children, is
this to continue? Our frontier citi-
zens have called often and earnestly
for aid and defence from the Indi-
ans. This has been refused by
Reynolds and the powers that be.
They attempted to organize for
self defence. Tho men chosen to
lead them in these noble efforts for
the preservation of the lives of
their wives, children and property
have been arrested and tried for OBJ
serving the law of selfpreservation.
By order and sanction of Reynolds
troops have been sent to this and
other adjacent points, where they
are not needed, instead of being
sent to tho frontier.
Satrap Reynolds and the military
leaders under him are either afraid
of the Indians or else they are in
collusion with them and have the
spoils of their depredations. If al
lowed, it would not take the Text
ans long TO drive these marauders
and murdcrers from the country
and secure quiet to their families
and safety to their property.

A gentleman, on a visit to Wash
ington, one day very coolly opened
the Senate Chamber door, and was
about to pass in, when the door
keeper asked:
"Are you privileged member"
"What do you mean by that2'
asked the stranger.
"a Governor, an ex- Member of
Congress, or a Foreign Minister" F"
was the reply.
The stranger replied that he was
Minister.
"From what court or country"
asked the official.
Very gravely pointing up: "From
Heaven, sir"
To this the door-keeper very
waggishly remarked:
This Government at present
holds no intercourse with that For
eign Poweri"

We overheard some gentlemen a
a few days since discussing on the
street the difference between a Re
publican and a Radical.
We think we can give them an
idea of the distinction by citing
them to an old anecdote of the
FreDchman who was asked the die
ference between the rheumatism
aad the gout.
by GAR you sail take ze fngare.
and sail put him in re wise, and zen,
by Carl you sail screw him up till
you can bear re pain no longare.-
By Carl zat is ze rheumatism. Zen
you sail turn him round one more
time, and by Carl zat is ze gout."
One more turn makes the radical.

EsS- The Galveston Dispatch in
speaking ofthe result of the election
and its effect on Texas, says:
What course Congress will pur-
sue, on reassembling, concerning
Texas, is purely a matter of coniec-
ture. They will be disappointed at
the failure of their pet scheme of
reconstruction, as the result in Lou
isiana and other Southern States
fully shows.
Ifa constitution be presented to
the people of Texas, by the Recon.
struction Convention, at all like the
one now framed, it will be rejected.
We shall avoid the shoals and quick
sands upon which the other States
have wrecked their political welfare.
There is but one thing to do.
Let General Candy, as soon as he
takes charge of this District, inves-
tigate thoroughly and carefully the
wishes Of the people. Let him ask
of Congress the power to dismiss
this Convention. Let new regis
tration be bad, fairly and honestly,
and thon let there be a new election
of delegates who are interested in
the welfare of the State, who will
assemble Immediately and speedily
adopt a constitution, to be submitted
to the people; let it be a liberal con-
stitution that is based upon the hy-
pothesis that Congress will insist
on such method OF reconstruction.
This we say in all candor. The
present Convention must be dismiss
ed. No constitution they would
submit will be adopted by the pco-
pie. II is now an insult to their
good sense to ask them to ratify n
single act done, so far, at tho city
of Austin. u1i sL M
We feel that, ifsuch course as
we advocate be pursued, it will meet
the concurrence of the good people
of our State. Reynolds has been
dismissed let the Convention also
be.

The Dallas Herald publishes a
letter from Iowa, in which il is sta
ted that Il requires a great deal OF
work 90 farm successfully there, and
that one half the substantial farm
srs would move 10 a more S0nthern
climate, il they could be convinced
that they would not be killed and
robbed tho first week ailer crossing
the line, bat, says the letter, this
cannot DO done $50 long as they
have so much official aud other
reliable testimony OF tho wholesale
and retail murder Of Union men,
hut for the ab0ye,named cause,
hundreds Of the best families would
now be on tho way 20 Texas, with
money 20 buy lands, stock aud ey,
erything else that farmers want,
Lands here with moderate improve
ment are Ia demand at s26 10 $50
per acre" The letter further says;
"Thcse people chequered Iowa
with railroads, 80 that now few men
are more than fifteen miles from n
railroad, and they will doTeXas the
same way II they get a chance ut
il, They are mostly Western men,
with n smart sprinkling OF real
live Yankees, just such as Texas
wants TO develop her immense re'
sources"
Our radical convention and tho
leaders generally of that party, in
this State and elsewhere, have been
tho cause of preventing the remov.
al Of thousands OF Northern fami.
lies to the South. Many OF these
people are republicans, aud the only
reason we can suggest for the course
of the radical leaders in attempting
10 keep them out Of Texas, is this:
il is well known that IL they should |
come, they would soon find out
how largely Texas has boon Sian.
dcrcd, and that the same radical
leaders who circulated these SIAN
ders are in other respects the enc
mics of the progress of tho State;
and would therefore not be likely |
10 act with the radical party here.
Otherwise, wo have no doubt our
radical party would be glad to get
hem for the purpose of increasing
lis strength. But lies can be sent
hem at distance, to strengthen
heir radicalism, whereas the dis
,overy of the truth, if they should
come South, would be almost certain
" cause them to sympathize politi-
:ally and socially with the existing
md oppressed majority of our pco.
ole. That, We are certain, is one
'eason why the radicals of the
South are opposed to immigration.

DEATH OF BARON RoTnsCHILD.-
Hard upon the announcement of
the death Of Rossini, the composer,
comes that of Baron James Roths-
child, the head of the greatest bank
ing house and tho richest man in
the world, which occurred ycster-
day in Paris. He was born in that
city in the year 1892, and was tho
youngest of five sons, who succeed
ell the original founder Of the house
Mayer AnsIcm Rothschid who died
in 1872 The latter was educated
for Il teacher, but disiiliing the pro
fcssion, entered in an inferior Ca
pacity small banking house in
Hanover, where in few years,
through industry and frugalily, he
amasscd a small capital His rise
in credit and resources was perfect
ly marvellous. His house, in which
all his sons were associated, soon
became not only the wealthicst in
Europe, but after the year 8l3 took
itS place at the head of the financial
world. Nearly all the loans of the
great powers have since been trans
acted through its agency, until now
it's wealth is supposed to he some
thing fabulous. By tho dying in
functions of their father the broth
ers always conducted their opera
tons entirely in common, and, to
this is mainly attributable their
wonderful success. One by ono the
brothers have dropped away, until
at last James, the younger of tho
five, full of years and honors, has
alsr paid the debt of nature. A
ms / of spotless integrity and un-
bounded charity, the intimate friend
{ dmircr of the Emperor Napo-
loon, whom he greatly assisted,
10th by advice and material aid, in
his enterprise of bcautifying Paris,
his death will be regarded in France
as a national calamity. All the
brothers have left large families of
children. who still conduct the bus
mess of the giant house in accor-
dance with the rules laid down by

From Cooley s Lady's Book.
Withercd Flowers.
DY vIRGINIUs HUTcHEy.

Tho flowers you sent, enchanting one,
That blooIned in summers parting day,
Like mists beneath fervent sun,
Are withering, alas! away!
Their crumblng stamens die md fall,
And mingle with their nati7o dust,
Like flowers of love that held in thrall
My young hearts truest love and trust
In youth-time's far more trustful hour,
Along my life's storm-shadowed way,
found that cheered me many a flower,
Then sighed to see it waste away.
All! frosts will come in every year,
And cast their blight on summers bloom;
And Autumn's rain-drop seems the tear
That Nature sheds on Summers tomb.
Fair human flowers have faded fast
From bowers | love to linger near;
And when ponder on the past,
My lorn hearts language is tear.
Yes, oft dream Of perished ones,
With soul that feels keen regret,
For memory deems them brilliant suns
Meath lifes horizon darkly set.
There's sorrow, fair one, in my soul
That seems to weigh my spirit down.
And have tried within "the bowl
The demon grief to soothe or drown;
Then blame me not that thus grieve,
And breathe plaintive tone to thee,
That in the wreath of song weave,
bin / the sad anemone.s
Oft, oft when in the festal crowd,
When pleasure lowered round the bowl,
Have sad thoughts like tempest cloud
Bedimmed the sunlight of my soul.
But now have q wish or dream
That hope and joy may yet be mine,
And that upon lifes rapid stream
My spirits barque may glide with thine.

Victor Hugo writes to the Span
ish authorities, beseeching them to
adopt republican form o. govern
ment. He says it would be belit-
Ting spectacle for Spain to abolish
one monarchy TO institute another;
that there are monarchies enough
in Europe at present, and that it
would be taking much trouble for a
short space of time, as the scene is
about to change generally in Europe
in favor of the republican form.

MARRIED OR NOT MARRIED.-The
Louisville Courier of tho 9th ult
says:
AT tho Hardin County Fair, held
last week, grave question arose
regarding the proper status of wild
ows. The society offered a prize
for the best unmarried lady rider,
and also one for the best married
lady rider. a young widow was
excluded from the first ring because
the girls all declared she was a mar
ried woman. She then made ap-
plicalion to become contestant for
the prize in tho second ring, but
was ruled out because she q was
single woman.
She writes to Yuba Dam, asking
him to decide the question. After
detailing her perplexities she con-
cludes her letter as follows
"Now Yuba, as | understand that
you are paying the subject ovid
ows) great deal of attention, l
have concluded to leave the whole
matter to you. BE good enough,
therefore, to resolve me this Am |
married, or am ] single" ?"
Yuba Dam solemnly says that he
really thinks she is, but to save all
further questions he advises her to
marry gentle widower without
delay.

just sold a large drove of cattle,
partly his own, realizing $1,000
therefore. when he was set upon by
thieves. two of whom seized him
hy the throat while third rifed
his pockets. The Post very coolly
says: "All of them escaped toward

without money to return and is
waiting for a remittances from the
South. The wallet contained 81, GOO,

The VEera Who Govern.
Treason VS., Loyalty.

Some of our papers have at
tackled the Mayor of this city,
and advised him to resign.
If we were to advise any one
to resign it would be the present
Governor the State; E. M.
Pease.
He is the man Oh whom the
odium should fall, of having the
State governed in the manner it
is.
Let Us begin at home, and
observe the handiwork Of this
Honorable Governor in this, the
County of Galveston.
We premise a few items by
presenting before his EXcellency.
Section Sd. of the 14th. article
of the Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States,
which we advise him to read,
and get the learned Judge
Paschal to explain, if he is in
doubt.
SECTION. ;. No person shall be Il sena-
tor or representative in Congress, or cleo
tor of President and Vice-President, or
hold any office, civil or military, under the
United States, or under any State, who,
having previously taken an oath, as a
member of Congress, or as an officer Of the
United States, or as q member of any
State Legislature, or as an executive or
judicial officer Of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurectiOn or re-
bellion against the same, or given aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof. But
Congess may, by a vote OF two. thirds OF
each house, remove such disability.
Having read this section over
let us now present before his
Excellency, our county Judge.
EDWARD T. AUSTIN.
Mark the fact, Your Excellency,
we present you a Judge of laws.
The Judge of the county, sworn
to execute Justice, and we pre-
sent him to your Excellency as
a DIsFRANCHISED REBEL. One
of the crew who brought on the
late war. An alder and abettor
of treason! A smooth gentle
man, who has been and we believe
would be again, traitor to
the country.
It is currently reported OF
him, that when he opened bis
new house, he gave particular
orders that "no niger dray-
men should be employed"
How came Edward L. Aus
tin, bitter rebel, a foe to liber-
ty a traitor to the Government OF
this country how comes II
that this rebel is a JUDGE fo1
the County of Galveston?
We ask this question to be
answered by the bright light O
the 14th article section Sd.
Would any one like to have
Mr.. disfranchised rebel Judge
Edward T. Austin's life print
ed, and his services to the Cen
