LErr.-Our fright bower has left us for

so long been our forman, and whose pres
ence in the Herald office has so long been
almost necessity, took his departure for
our neighborirg iowa Of Mckinney where
no becomes the proprietor and publisher Of
the Enquirer" of that fiourishing town.
To those who have known him SO long in
this community, it is not necessary for us
to say that we part with him with regret
We have known him long and intimately +;
for twelve years he has, with the exception
of occasional brief intervals, been in some
manner COD pected with the Herald estab-
lishmeRt, and in all ibis time, We have never
had accession to be dissatisfied with lhm.-.
.Skinfull and prompt in his business affairs,
the very soul of honor apd generous in all
his dealings, we have always felt free to
relieve ourself Of the burdens of business
when we knew that John was on hand to
take our place. To the citizens Of Collin
County, among whom he has now cast his
lot, we say that they will always find him,
correct in oil his deaiings, Energetic, indus
lrious and every way worthy, and we trust
they will render him generous and hearty
support.
We miss you, John, and we rather iacline
to the opinion that you didn't much want
to leave us, or you would have come in and
said "Good-bys."

to vote at all. If events should occur that
render q contrary course advisable, we

fact. The Circular above referred to GER
tainly does not change our opinion and
until some more definite course is indicated
by Congress, we shall adhere to our views.

gSA complimentary supper was given

p4-The Jimplecute says that Judge Col
bert Caldwell one of the militry appointees
to the Supreme Court of Texas, made a
speech to the freedmen in that place on the
28th ult, in which "he took full grounds for
reconstruction under the Congressional
.,s.in I'D denounced in strong terms the
press and those VINO nave seen cause to ex'
pose as unfair and incendiary the course
pursued by himself and party"
A. b. Norton, of the Bulletin, also ad-
dressed the freedmen, in which, says the
Jimplecute, he 'come out in the strongest
language in favor of negro suffrage" The
Jimplecute adds: "There was one point in
which he told them the whole truth, and
that was that the secessionists freed them,
and that when Yankee came along and
told them that he give them tn cir freedom,
he lied. We were surprised to hear Mr..
Norton alude to the former slave and the
sian, il -maGG::..or calculated to arouse
their feelings. If the object of himself and
his party is peace and good feelings, this is
a singular way of showing it.
"There were Others we learn, who made
speeches, but we could not remain to hear
them. When we left, a negro, assisted by
the white radicals, was singing n song
which seemed to sickle" them all highly"
We very much regret to see Gen. Norton
taking such position. l.
