TKxAs.-Col. @. X. Hall, Of Gdlesston.-
This gentleman, we'll known 70 the people Of
Texas for many years past As q mall con-
tractor on the principal routes In that State,
and latteriy rs Collector Of the Port Of Gal
weston, seems to be the universal choice OF
the people OF his State for the position of
Governor, and Is supported with an enthusI-
asm that can only be the offspring OF an ear
neat desire TO reconstruct that State In the
Interest Of loyalty and free government
Col. Hall has ever been devoted and I'M
hlnching friend TO the Goyernment-for the
Union ever a gentleman Of large and
comprehensive Views, and successful ma
In every enterprise Il man eminently fitted
TO restore confidence and heal The wounds
occasioned by the late unhappy struggle.
This call upon Col. Hall was unsolicited and
unexpected, and responded to only at the
earnest desire OF the great loyal heart.
Texas desires to free Itself Of the political
"hacks" who did not respond to the hopeful
saying Of "Let US have peace"
| The representative men of Texas now here
express q confidence that II this gentleman
should be elected rs chief magistrate Of
Texas II will DO a practical solution of the
vexed problem of reconstruction.
Col. Hall has resided In Texas for thirty
years, aud Is we'll acquainted with tho wants
Of the people. He has but ono desire, aud
that la 10 restore his State to her former re-
lations In the Federal Union. II elected, he
will give a quietus TO all her troubles, and be
In perfect unison with the Conversational

DRAINING THE LAREs.-A Lcayenworth
paper breaches grand project, by which
Chicago proposes to distance all Its rivals
A ship canal, one thousand feet broad and
sixty feet deep, Is to be constructed across
the State Of Illinois, to some point on the
Mississippi river, enough below the level of
Lake Michigan TO admit of steady flow Of
water into the Mississippi. The following
are the results 10 ensuei The river st. Law
renee will become but a brook. Niagara
Falls will stand damp wall of rock, If in
deed the water does not flow back over them,
forced by the tremendous suction of Chicago.
Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, and
Milwaukee will be sixty feet above the pres.
ent high water mark, and millions of &C ,es
OF new land will appear.in the shadows of
the lakes. New York would be nowhere.
The largest vessels In the world would navl-
gate the Mississippi, sand steam tugs of K
traordlnary power''-we quote the Leaven-
worth paper-''would bring sailing vessels
from New Orleans TO Chicago in four days"
This work will cost $8i 100000. The
money Is not yet raised, nor Is the survey
complete, but as Chicago and Leavenworth
have pronounced in favor Of 1t, II will be
accomplished.

The PRESIDENT AND GEORGIA AFFAIRs.-
Hon. Nelson TIT, Representatlve-elcct to
Congress to the Third Georgia district, upon
his return home q few days ago was serc-
naded by his fellow-citisens, and In response
he made a speech, in the course OF which he
saidi
"The President is not our enemy, and to
his views, warmly and energetically ex-
pressed, we are much indebted for six
months respite from Congressional Interior
cnce. Mr.. Grant Is an honest, earnest man,
and the best friend the South has In posi-
tion to do her any good. He believed he
would 60 as far as he dared 60 and escape
being Johnsonized, 10 restore peace, tran
quilllty and good government to the South
Our people owe him debt of gratitude, and
II they continue to pursue their peaceful vo-
cations, and to maintain and uphold the
laws as they have done since the Presiden-
tlal election, they will have no cause to COM
plain Of his administration"

THE WATER LINE.

Our readers will find on our first
page to>day very interesting letter
from the White Sulphur Springs, to the
New York Times concerning the long
discussed water-line between the Ohio
river and the Chesapeake bay. 1t is to
the completion of the grand lines of in
ternal improvement like this and her
railroad lines that Virginia has to look,
and not to the perpetuation in power of
her old Democratic politicians, for her
future salvation and material prosperity.
The fatal blunder of those politicians
rejected the opportunities of national
aid to build her up along with other
sections of this great country, and there
by paralyzed her energies in the race;
and the sharp and we'll defined point in

ReT We remember, when an urchin
having to take quarter of q dollar tc
the postofhce every time we went Their
for letter. Thanks to the improve
ments of the age, three cents will pay
the expense now. Well, why not ar
range matters now in regard to telegra.
phing by which messages can b. trans.
mitted equally as cheap? Government
can do this, easily, and it seems should
do it, or in justice to private enterprise
stop the transportation of letters, an6
let 1T go into the hands of private par.
ties. The time of transmitting words
or messages over the wires is about the
same as require two or three fast COM
positors to put the same in type, and il
is evident the monopoly must be very
profitable at the present telegraph rates
But aside from all other considerations
the transmission of messages from one
place to another ought to be govern
ment duty entirely, and should be per-
formed on the same principle that let
ter transport is, that is at bare cost tc
the citizen.

riches the great city of New York.

tleman who passed Monday through the
region watered by Buffalo, states that
much of the corn tasseled at height Of
eighteen inches. A fourth crop is a

rains will revive the pastures, bring on
the late corn, and greatly facilitate the
work of ploushing. Maj,r Southeriin
thinks the drought in Virginia has re-

Bismark.
BERLIN, April 17.-Bismark has accepted the inter-
probation of the responsibility of ministers bill which
has just been passed by the North German Parlia-
ment The design of the measure is to check oppo-
siton to the actual management of business.
Discussion ON the Irish Church Bill,
LONDON April 17.-The debate in the House of
Commons on the Irish Church bill was resumed
last evening. Mr.. Disraeli moved to omit the fol.
lowing clause from the bill:-"On and after
the lst day or January, 1871 said union created by
act or Parliament, between the Churches of Eng
land and Ireland shall be dissolved and said Church
OF Ireland hereinafter referred to said Church. shall
cease to be established by law.
Mr.. Disrae supported the proposition in a speech
OF considerable length, contendng that the above
clause destroyed the supremacy of the Crown and
placed the Church at disadvantage.
hessrs. Collier and Rounded Palmer spoke in op-
position to the amendment
Mr.. Gladstone spoke against the amendment
traVerslng the statements made by Disraeli. He
tnought, Notwithstanding this clause, that the SUI
premacy OF the crown would continue to exist, but
IN an altered form. If the amendment were success
1u II would absolutely destroy the bill The union
OF the Churches would continue but that union must
not be enforced by Parliamentary bonds
Dsraell admitted that his intention was to aim
mortal blow at the bill, but if his motion was ac-
cepted, the Government could still continue their
At length the House divded-For, 221 against
544 the result was received with tremendous cheers
by the Liberals
