Der. In the evening there was by far the
finest as well as the largest torchlight pro-
cession ever witnessed in Texas. The mem
bers of the various Grant clubs i'll the city
assembled at their respective rooms at an
early hour, where procuring torches, illumin-
ated lanterns, &C., they marched down to
the courthouse, where they were joined by
tho State Guards, citizens, and others. All
along their line Of march they were greeted
with repeated and prolonged cheering. Col.
Tracy's building was grandly Illuminated, as
was also many other houses. At $50 L. NJ.
by far the largest and most intelligent audi
ence ever assembled IN the State were mass
ing opposite the courthouse, where they

cred an eloquent and most effective speech,
which was highly appreciated by the audi
ence, who were continually interrupting with
the most tremendous and prolonged applause.
1t was first intended to have joint discus
sion between the two rival candidates, but
Messrs. Giddings and Gustave Cook, feeling
considerable nausea from the effects of the
dirty dose they had swallowed, (GreeleyD
declined the discussion.
The Hon. Richard Allen, OK. Rlember, and
present candidate for the Legislature, in re-
spouse 10 loud and vociltrous calls, appeared
upon the stage, where he was greeted by
the most tremendous applause. He delivered
a powerful appeal to the people to stand by

lie drew q striking contrast between the
condition Of things under the present Adj
mffhstration and the time when the Dcmoc-
racy were in power, remarking, that then
he did not dare look white man in the eye,
but now he could back down the proud
champion OF many old masters, meaning Gus
tave Cook.
The noble, disniiied appearance of Mr..
Allen, united with stentorian voice, and a
brilliant facility of expression, combine to
make him very impressive speaker. Colonel
]. G. Tracy followed Mr.. Allen, but de-
clined to say much, as he was much fatigued
from the effects of his arduous duties of the
day. He proposed three cheers for General
u. S. Grant and Henry Wilson, which were
loudly rendered by the excited crowd. At
1880 p. M. the meeting dispersed.
We are very sanguine Of getting three out
of the six Congressman allowed us, and also
expect to reduce their majority to a very low

therefore, Is Of opinion, three to two, that
there j. no ground for awarding any sum by

whereas, The prospective injuries cannot
properly be made subject to compensation

unanimously Of opinion that there is no

Letter from Texas.
HARRISBURG


HARRIS Co., TEXAS, Sept. 10, 1872.
To tie Editor of the New National Era:
Thinking that few items from this far-ofl
locality would not prove unintercsting to
some of your numerous readers, venture TO
send you the following:
The Republicans of this State have en-
tered into the present campaign with a spirit
OF jealous determination which knows 10
failure. The celebrity with which Grant and
Wilson organizations have sprung into exist
ence throughout the State is as appalling to
the heretofore unterrifed az it is encouraging
to the Republicans.
The assiduity and energetic efforts Of oul
leaders have effected more toward the de-
moralization of that incongruous, immiscible
conglomeration known as the Democratic.
Greeley coalition than we imagined were
possible. Confidence is rapidly being estab-
lished Throughout the State) in the present
Administration. The yeomanry Of the State
are becoming convinced of the business and
invincibility of our cause by those most incon.
trovertible of proofs--the wisdom and bcnefi-
cence of cur laws, and the rigid, though
just, manner of their prosecution. For every
sorehead who quits our ranks, twenty Of the
opposite party, tired of the political lash, de.
sire adnittance into our ranks and you may
rest assured we receive them joyfully.
The former Democratic adherents are look
ing on with kind of apathetic indifference
at the stupendous exertions We arc making
to oveFcome heavy majority. They don'1
give continental who succeeds, having con
ciuded to take Blanton Duncan's advice

IT. w. IIigginson says in the Roman's
Journal: "A young American girl who had
been at school in France and Germany told
me that because of her nationality she was
considered sell-protecting. She was allowed
to so about more freely than the European
girls, and sometimes where it became neces-
sary, had fellow-stadents older than herself
put under her protection as if she were a
man. As a consequence of this, she said,
she was really safer than the others, because
any one of them, if she had accidentally
found herself in the streets alone, would
have been terrified and bewildered. There
is nothing that so debilitates as the habit of

The Eaglishaean's Eeriew for July con-
tains an article on the subject of 'sMixed
Education, }" in which arguments for the Joint
education of the sexes are enforced by refer
ence to American colleges. An earnest plea
is made by the writer for extending to English
girls and women the advantages for educa-
ton now enjoyed by the other sex, but prac-
tically denied to them. In the University at
Zurich, Switzerland, ont of four hundred stu
dents eighty are women. About fifty Of this
number, who are mostly Russians, are stu
dents OF medicine. At the late examination
the women stood the tests as creditably as
the men.
- Tweed suitsv are to be fashionable for
ladies this fall. That kind of suits are very
popular in New York, but the trouble is
about getting the Tweed suit on. They have
been trying it for a year, and if the fashion
able ladies take az long as that to get their
suits on it will be more than husbands will
sYapt to wait for. It is bad enough now.

for rs soon as silly little fish comes i'll contact
with those rosy tins, he is struck with poison ia

the beautiful arms wrap themselves about him
and drag him into the greedy mouth. Then those
