The SoUTH.-Wc have received the
first number Of this large eight page
weekly, just started in New York City,
published by Tardrew & Co., 81 Park
Row at IS per year. The number be-
fore us is extremely interesting. In IFS
columns is condensed intelligence from
all parts of the South, while subjects
of general interest to the Southern peo
pie are freely discussed. In the salu.
tary, the editor says:
Our object will be to devote it to the ex-
elusive use and benefit of the Southern
States of the Union, and to the development
of their best interests, in material
pOiRt of view, having nothing what'
ever to do with party politics. We
shall labor to set forth clearly and fully all
the advantages which all these States pos
sess, and which render them pre-eminently
the most valuable and desirable portions oi
this wonderful country. There is No equal
erea of the earth's surface upon which hes
been bestowed more bountiful gifts of soil
climate, minerals, forests, animals and veg
etables. Its soil is the most prolific, its clim-
ate the most sslubriOus, its minerals the most
valuable, its forests the grandest, its animal
and vegetable productions the most varied
and luxuriant, its rivers the largest, its
flowers the sweetest, its skies the brightest. II
has an unlimited acreage of the richest
landsi lneXhaustible beds of the finest ores oil
iron, of marble, and of coal; and innumera-
ble SStes for the erection Of factories. Il
needs that these facts should be brought
prominently and continuously before the
people of this country and of Europe, il
order that they may know something def
nitely ALPHABETICALLY of this almost terra IN.
eogRita. If we can aid in doing this,we shall
accomplish our work. The papers of the
South, busted as they are with political is
sues and local affairs, have not the time, ever
if they could devote the space necessary to
full consideration of these subjects.

The Journal accuses US of "dirty
personalities" We know its character
for strict varacity will establish this
fact, so we shall have to succumb.
1t compliments the Gazette, and abuses
us-no wonder, when he knows how
we turned out and voted from this
office. In a former issu. we stated,
that all the men connected with this
Office voted for the democratic candi
date. 1t is right, however, that we
correct u mistake made in that article.
Instead Of eight, we sent nine voters
to the polls-every man Of US. The
boys wanted to vote too.

Mr.. Honnogen, one of the largest
land owners Of Limestone county, is
in Austin. lie is one of the best friends
the freedmen have i'll the county, and
has sold many Of them land on very ac-
comodating terms. He says that the
negroes refused TO vote, under the in
struction of the Radical leaders, III
order that the vote cf the county
might be thrown out. He also charges
Judge Oliver with the cause of all the
disturbance; that his harrangues to the
negroes was made for the purpose of
melting them to create disturbances;
and that all these charges can, and
will, if permission can be obtained, be
proven to the satisfaction Of any one.

suppose, has been personating us.

CoRRECTIoN-In our last issue
we stated that both the des-
patches sent to Mr.. Bowers from
Groesbeck, were presented to the Gov
ernor. We learn this morning, that a
mistake was made in our statement
only so far as one of these dispatches
is concerned. The one from the citi-
zens was the only ore presented, but
this does not alter the position in which
the Governor has placed himself.
Read our article in this issue on Gov
ernor Davis and martial law.
The Governor has nominated ,and the
Senate confirmed L. B. Turner, Judge
of the Thirty Second Judicial District.
Mr.. Turner is a lawyer of ability, and
is capable of making a worthy success
sor of the distinguished VIM. E. Jones.
He is an old citizen of this county; has
many warm friends in the district to
which he is appointed; and will, we
doubt not, give general satisfaction to
the people and members of the bar.
He has not mingled in politics much
of late, and though Republican, he
has carefully avoided the meshes of the
Davis administration. Altogether, We
congratulate that district on the ap-
peintment. 1t is far better one than
we had reason to expect they would
get.

1t is rumored that Webb Flanagan

IL is GumOreu ClaJ w eDD rlanagan
is trying to get back into the Demo-
cratic party, We say to him, come
by all means. The "latch string" will
always be found out side. But Webb,
don't come expecting an Office. Ifyou
are really penitent, you can't complain
at hewing wood and drawing water for
the party for few years. Remember
you were very wicked during the latter
days of your Radicalism. You wanted
to stihe the free voice of the people, by
grouping together a large number of
counties supposed to be strongly Radi
cal, and giving them eight Senators
and twenty-four Representatives. Y u
publicly advised the negroes in
this county to fraudulently vote two or
three times. What other Infamous adj
vice you gave them in private, of
urse we don't know. But let by-gones
be by.gones. When it gets too cold
for you out side, come back and warm
at our Democratic fires. But remem-
ber-no office, until you are several
years older, and many, many degrees
better.

Tnere have been isolated cases OF gross mis-
conduct on the part Of passengers toward
drivers and conductors but these; we must
repeat are only isolated cases. We do not
expect to find In conductors men of cul-
.ture; but we have a right to expect
that they should have common sense
common decency and common politeness
1T Is the modest and the gentle who stand in
need of protection. Now, if conductors and
drivers would bear in mind that they are not
only servants of their employers, but in a
greater degree servants of the public, there
would be no necessity at all for these re-
marks. The recent car murder shows to
what innate brutality may degenerate when
encouraged by kindred spirit.
We hope that it will be beacon of warning
to car drivers and conductors and their
employers-the railroad companies. This
brings us back to the beginning Of this article.
Riding in Fourth avenue car we noticed the
above announcement, with this addition
conductors must enforce this rule" This is
step in the right direction, and we hope it
will be followed by other lines. Ruflians have
long enough tyrannized over respectable men,
bers of the community, and if this notice is
carried out faithfully our records will not be
darkened again by a car tragedy.

The Traffic In Opium SERIOUS Facts for
the Temperance Societies.

Xo0 TITANIC Op1um -SoriOu9 EaCt0 IOr
the Temperance Societies.
His Excellency the Governor General Of
British India has presented to the local
Imperial Legislature the financial budget of
that portion Of Queen Victoria's dominion. The
exhibit is of satisfactory character in the
matters of income, expenditure and the reduc-
ton Of local taxation. The items of receipt
chow one source of vast revenue. the means of
attainment Of which is not in any way con-
soling to humanity or encouraging to the
civilizations of the age. Lord Mayo, the
Governor General, estimates the government
income which will arise from the opium trade in
India during the next twelve months at eight
millions of pounds sterling. Eight millions
of pounds sterling-forty millions of gold
dollars land this from legalized sale of
opium in the Queens name! What becomes
ofso much poisonp 1t is certainly not all
used incidentally OF by order of the physicians.
We fear that our illustrious friend the
Emperor of China could, young as he is, reply
even now to this query by pointing to
the physical emaciation of his people
and the gradual reduction which has
taken place in the population of his
empire since the moment when Great
Britain undertook, in the interests of the
East India Company, to force opium down the
throats of the subjects of his predecessor on
Che throne at the point of English bayonets
1t was cruel war waged for an immoral pur-
pose. Like other undertakings of similar
character, that war is bearing very bitter fruits
to England proper. The daily use of opium
is obtaining in an alarming degree of increase
among the English people, What is still worse,
1t Is increasing among the English speaking
peoples all over the globe. The practice of
opium eating and laudanum drinking begets a
ruinous debauchery, wasting of the body,
an obliteration of the mind. Still 1t obtains
more and more. A main cause Of this is to
be found in the fact that the empire Of the
Star of India requires forty millions of dollars
every year to keepit agoing, and to put money
In the pockets of the members of two or three
vast commercial corporations In Europe. If
Lord Mayo Is resolved to continue to aid in
The work OF public Generalization we would
advise him--and, as he is jolly Irshman, he
will, no doubt, consider our advice favorably-
to recommend the victims to use whiskey
instead of opium; let him, If 1t must be so,
proclaim in Asia the old ballad motto of his
tenantry In Ireland, "Where punch flows like
the Solway,' and thus become again, as he
has been In days past "thc man for Galway
ny, even in India, away out ameng the uncon-
verted Asiatics.
