quest publication:
WHEREAS, In the death of Hon. G. W.
Smith, of Marion county, Republican
member of the Constitutional Convention,
who was brutally murdered on the night
of the fourth instant, together with three
colored citizens, in the town of Jefferson,
by an armed rebel mob known as the Ku
Klux, we have aLother bloody evidence of
the fiendish spirit of political intolerance,
of lawlessness and crime that actuates the
populace of large portion of Texas; and
Whereas, In these outrages, now alarm
ingly frequent, perpetrated on and toward
Union citizens and Republicans, we are
more forcibly reminded of the need of an
efficient military cOmmandant, whose mar
tial arm shall suppress wrong and enforce
right therefore, be it
l. RESOLVED, By the Republicans of Gal
weston county in meeting assembled, That,
aware of the great responsibilities of our
position as the only untrammeled body of
Republicans in Texas who can advocate
freedom and justice and counsel the en-
forcement of law without danger or mo-
lestation, we do declare our heartfelt sor-
row and sympathy for the Republicans Ct
Northern Texas and the relatives and
friends of the Hon. G. W. Smith and his
fellow-martyrs, in their great loss and be-
reavement.
9. RESOLVED, That in the death of the
Hon. G. W. Smith, the Republican party
of Texas have lost an earnest, faithful
co-laboIer, and worthy citizen.
3. Resolved, We do now express an
earnest wish for and cordial appreciation of
any and every measure that shall tend to
the restoration of order and the main
tenance of law in all the desperado-ridden
counties of this State.
RESOLVED, That we do now in meeting
assembled request the attention of the en-
tire country to the condition of Texas, the
sutferings and wrongs of Unionists and
especially of Congress do we petition for
immediate action in our behalf on their re-
assembling and to this end.
5. RESOLVED, That in view of the utter
reeklessness of the desperate element in
this State, its contempt for all feeble au-
thority, civil and military, we do earnestly
petition Congress and that power of the
Government intrusted with the administra-
tion of the military affairs in the unrecon-
structed States to re-establish in our midst
such a military government as shall pos
sess at least a measure of the capacity
frmness and vigor of the lamented Major
General Charles Griffin, in the appreciation
of the deplorable condition of affairs in
Texas.
6. RESOLVED, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to the following papers
with request that they publish the same

The tenor of Rousseau's dispatches have
not transpired beyond the assertion that
they authenticate dispatches published by
the Associated Press.

Especial dispatch to the ohiOaso Tribune. ]

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 20, ls6s.-
The InteltigeRcer to day reiterates it's pre-
diction of defeat in still more positive terms
than yesterday, and, it is fully understood,
with the appreciation of the President and
the Democrats iu New York, Philadelphia
and this city. 1t denounces the Radicals
bitterly, but says it can not and will not de.
ceive its readers by saying all is well when
they know the contrary is true. With the
present candidatesl the party can not win,
and since the National Committee has re-
fused to change candidates but one course
remains in which there is any hope of sue
cess, and that is for the National Committee
to announce that the Electors shall be free
in the Electoral College to vote for whoever
may, be considered best representatives of
the Conservative voters of the coun-
try. If the National Committee will not do
this all the State committees should act at
once and publish their action. The feeling
of the minority of the National Committee
is represented by those here known to be in
full sympathy with it. as more intense
against those who united in the late address,
and who overruled the change in candidates,
than it has been at any time, and they
charge openly that the whole move now IS
simply to secure the election of Hoffman
and carry New York State for the sake of
the State patronage.
The IlteuigeRcer of tomorrow will de-
mand action on the part of the State COM
mittees in still more pointed terms than in
the article this morning. and affirm that as
the matter is now going, there is not the
shadow of chance for Democratic sue
cess.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC OUTRAGE
A CITIZEN DRAGGED FROM HIS HOUSE.

Last night about half-past eleven o'clock
a body of armed men, some twenty-five in
number, belonging to one of the up-tow
Democratic clubs, went to the residence of
W. B. Gray, in the Fourth District, an ex-
officer of the United States army, and
dragged him into the streets.
After insulting and abusing him in the
most outrageous manner, these model
Democrats forced their way into Captain
Grays house, carried off his pistol, after
having destroyed several articles of furni-
ture, among which was bust of ex-Presi-
dent Lincoln. These men were acting alone
from political motives, as they confessed at
the time.
After leaving Captain Grays these rioters
and thieves went across the street, and
broke into house occupied by colored
people. They stole what money they could
find-about six doliars-and carried away
two old shotguns.

groes under the pretense that the latter are
inciting riot, while every protection will
be shown to the rebel element, who are the
real aggressors.
good authority for believing that this regi-
ment will at once be ordered to the frontier
and another one, not recruited South, sent
to take its place.
Secretary Schofield had the New Orleans
troubles under consideration to-day, and
there is reason TO believe that he brought
matter before the Cabinet at the meeting
this afternoon. Additional troops have
been ordered in readiness to go to New Or
leans if further trouble occurs.

An AnecdOie of General Grant.
i;ta-a Alton Tala1r.nb.

DEAR SIRs-At this time, when the oppo-
nents of General Grant are charging him
with being ambitious, and only striving to
gain the Presidential chair to assume mill
tary dictatorship wish to relate an Incl
dent in the early military career of General
Grant, which fully illustrates all his subse-
quent course:
When the Twenty first Illinois Infantry,
which had become unmanageable by their
first appointed Colonel, was placed under
the command of Colonel Ulysses s. Grant,
and ordered te Quincy to take part in the
campaign in Northwest Missouri, it was my
fortune to make the greater part of the
march with Colonel Grant and his command.
On going into camp about six miles from
Springfield, at the close of the first day
march, the men, after stacking arms, and
while awaiting the arrival of the wagons,
scattered and invaded the gardens OF the
citizens living in that vicinity. 1t was but
few moments before a lady presented her.
self to the group Of officers gathered around
Grant and inquired for the Colonel. Colo.
mel Grant, who was reclining on the ground,
at once arose to his feet and asked her
errand.
"Colonel, your men are taking all of my
onions, radishes peas, beets, etc, and wish
you would have them stopped"
81 will. Adiutant, call the officer of the
day." When that officer came forward
Colonel Grant said: sCaptain, take squad
Of men and arrest all men found in the
neighboring gardens, and bring them to
camp" The order was promptly executed,
and soon the officer returned, having under
guard some six or eight men.
"What were you doing In those gardens?
"Why, Colonel" said the Spokesman o.
the party, i didn't know it was agin order
to go in there

any right to go into one Of those garden
and have taken what you wanted ~

We have received letter from a native Of
North Carolina, who entered Lees army on
his fifteenth birthday, aud served to the end
of the rebellion, rising from the ranks to q
captaincy, but who now regards it as the
duty of every man, whether rebel or Union
ist, who does not wish to see the country
deluged with the blood of another civil war,
to vote for Grant and Colfax. His record as
Democrat and a rebel was untarnished
down to the date of the nomination of Sey-
mour and Blair. But no sooner did he an
nounce that duty to his country compelled
him to vote for Grant, Colfax and Peace,
than old friends and schoolmates, and many

A nit of History.

In one of the chapters of new book,
written by an ex-member of the Louisiana
Tigers, a noted New Orleans regiment in, the
Confederate army, in which the battle of
Gettysburg is treated Of, the following ap-
pears regarding the Democratic movements
then anticipated:
"It was currently reported and fully be-
lieyed through ali the army of General Lee
that Mr.. Yallandigham and other leading
Democrats of Ohio, New York and Pennsyl-
vania had arranged plan by which risings
and riotous meetings should be inaugurated
on the Fourth Of July in all the great North

no avail in our behalf at the Gettysburg
