CAPT. ADAMS LETTER.

Elsewhere in our paper to-day,
appears n letter from Capt. $. j. Adams,
in answer to an article published in
our paper on the 9th inst, relative to
his position on the railroad questions,
which are now agitating the public and
political sentiments of our State. The
letter is bold, outspoken and manly in
its tone and sentiment, and like every
thing that emcnates from our choice
for Governor is plain, unequivocal
and clearly within the comprehension
of every one, 70 far as its meaning is
concerned. Capt. Adams believes in
the sanctity ofa contract. He believes
that monied obligations should not be
assumed unless the obligee intends to
comply with his promises. He pays
his own debts, and like every honest
man, thinks that every one else who is
obligated should liquidate their indebt-
edncss. So far as the International
Railroad bonds is concerned, he can not
be misunderstood by any right minded
man.
Their case is before the courts OF the
country, and as that is the highest
tribunal of this State, we, like him,
believe that the decision which it
may promulgate should be complied
with and obeyed in all its features. If
Captain Adams left anything un-
touched or unanswered in his letter
relative to the charges alleged against
him, we would write more; but as he
has taken the wind out of our sails, we
can only indorse him and commend
his opinion and ideas to to our readers
as emenations of the purest and most
orthodox Democracy. -
of one thing, however, we are au-
thorized to speak, and that is, that
Captain Adams belongs to the Demo-
cratic party, is Democrat, and has no
use for any man or measure that is not
fully warranted and guaranteed for by
the leaders of that grand old party, /
upon which the salvation of our whole
country is dependent.

THE DUTIES OF THE HOUR.

Probably there has never been n
time in the history of this State when
the clear understanding of the people
and their earnest action in Our politi-
cal concerns was more important and
essential than just now. We are about
to emerge from Radical administra-
ton of our State government, and to
restore to the people those great con-
stitutional rights bequeathed to US by
the fathers of our common country.
We are on the verge of u new existence,
and should. be making the necessary
preparations to receive with hospitable
hands and joyous hearts the great boon
that is waiting for us, and which will
become our common property when
the results of the December election
are made known The ere-enfranchise-
ment of our best tried and oldest citi-
zens, together with the large increase
in population that has come into our
borders since the last election, guaran-
tees to the true men of the State a most
successful and triumphant victory
when they again go forward to name
the kind and character of men who
are to serve them in administering the
affairs of the commonwealth. We
must look to the Democratic party and
its principles for the deliverance we so
ardently anticipate and desire, and in
order to make itwork thorough and
complete, we should organize its vet
Grams and recruits, SO that their
work may be systematic and COM
plete when 1t is performed. Precinct
clubs should be formed all over.
the State, pure men placed in the
van, and in solid and unbroken
ranks the people should advance all
together, and possess themselves of
those rights of which they have been
deprived by the power that has pre-
sided over them through the partiali-
ties of the President and his more Rad
ical Congress. Let us arouse a proper
enthusiasm upon the subject of our po-
litieal affairs, and on every hill side
and in every valley from the Red river
to the Rio Grande the camp-fircs of
Democracy should be kindlcd and kept
ablaze until the redemption of the
State is fully realized. What say the
young men and the old of Texas, the
newcomers and the gray-haircd pio-
neers, to this proposition? We would
like to see the sires lead of-the grand
old men who have seen the magnifi-
centcommonwealtli rise from the tread
of despot feet to the full fruition Of its
present grandeur, are the mosi
proper persons to set in motion the
Democratic ball which Is destined to
crush beneath its weight every vcstigc
of Radicalism in the State.

Mexico.

From the Two Republics we learn
that the Mexican Congress, at its clos
ing session, refused to grant the pro-
posed notifications for the Inter-Oce-
anic Railway Company.
Gen. Palmer having failed to sign
the bond required by the concession of
December 30th, 1870, the executive de-
clared the act of concession forfeited.
Thus many of the fair hopes which
clustered around the ROsecranz project
are consigned to the tomb of the Capu-
lets. The Two Republics, which is
progressive Journal, regrets this, and
thinks that the Government has made
a serious mistake. Congress has grant
ed three railway concessions" the
Matamoras, IZucan and the Pachuca.
We learn, what is more to the point,
that Congress, before adjournment, re-
ceived q note from Minister FOmento,
accompanied by a contract made with
Mr.. Plumb, the representatives of the
international Company of Texas, for
the establishment of an air line interna-
tional railroad, which was referred 10
the Committee on Industry, Since
the formidable competition of the
Rosecranz scheme is set aside, il
would appear that nothing hinders the
happy consummation of the Interna-
tionars prospects, Gdireston Nc,Us.

vienna, Austria, April 80, 1873,
Continuing cur walk in Italy we enter
the transept at our left, and pass along
between cases filled with brilliant
Italian silks, among lovely marble
statutes, and pause at last before a
small glass case containing portions of
the human figure apparently in stone.
Some of them are discolored, while
Others have the color of real life. And
they were once members of living
human beings which have been petri-
fed by a process discovered by Prof
Marinl. One hand, which looks almost

pared eleven years ago after a method
which preserves not only the white

Anthony Irolloppe. $50 pleasant
among all the periods of love-making

lovers is 50 assured, and the coming
event so near, as To produce and ell
dure conversation about the ordinary
little matters of life; what cen be done
with the limited means at their dr.
posal how that life shall be begun
which they shall lead together; what
idea each has of the others duties
what each can do for the other. There
was n true sense of the delight of inti-
macy in the girl who declared thai she
never loved her lover so well as when
she told him how many pair of stock
ings she had got.
1t is very sweet to gaze at the stars,
and it Is very sweet to sit out among
the haycocks. The reading of poetry
together out of the same book, with
brows all close, and arms all mingled,
is very sweet; the pouring out OF
whole hearts in writing words, which
the writer knows would be held 10 te
ridiculous by anybody bat the dear one
to whom they are sent, is very sweet;
but for the girl who has made shirt
forthe man she loves there has come
II moment in the last stitch Oft sweeter
than any stars, haycocks, poetry or
superlative epithets have produced.

Specimens In all forms, from the
branches as these are flshcd from the
SEQ, to the most elaborate jewelry
where coral cupids recline on beds of
coral roses, "all carved from one piece
of coral" Long strings of coral beads
delight the eyes of mothers of little
daughters, and remind us of the harp
ers of coral in the streets of Naples
who ask at first what seems to us only
u reasonable price for their goods, but
who, on our manifesting no inclination
to buy, descend the scale of prices with
astonishing celebrity, and at last offer
ing to take as many cents ms we should
be obliged to pay shillings at home.
Around the case containing the coral,
are pictures illustrating the different
coral industries, and in the case are
miniature representations of the tools
employed in coral manufacture.
The Italian agricultural department
is in an adjoining building, and dis
plays some fine collections of fruits,
which we look at with fond recollec-
tion and lOngings, that Austrian fruits
will not satisfy, so long as we can so
vividly recall those wondrous Milan
cherries, which surpass anything we
ever ate, even in our own land, which
we think usually produces the best of
every thing. The silk-worm and pro-
ducts are well displayed, from the egg
to the full development of the butter
fly, and from the cocoon to the finest
manufactured goods
Bogiogna sausage, also figures as an
production. To many peo-
ple,the name of Bologna suggests moth

are not the links that connect my
thoughts with that quaint old town.

her father was found unconscious i'm his

She was so proud, and ofwhom she W as
so devoted, yet nothing can ever the

Mrs. Sprague Is thoroughly ambi-

mere personal vanity that she has per-

Registration and its Reasons.

| To the Editor OF Ihe Dallas 1iclnlu:
Several times Of late, / have learned
that some persons, heretofore registered
as voters, feel it great hardship TO
register anew under the new law. A
few words to every honest Democrat
will set this matter right-tor il as right.
The reason for requiringa a new regis
tration throughout the whole State, by
officers appointed from among the pco-
pie, was to do away entirely with the
registrations heretofore made by Off
GERS appointed by the Governor, sitting
only at county seats, and in whom the
people, in most counties, had no conf
dence. II was charged d believed
that in most counties the names Of
dead negroes and negro boys We're on
the lists, to be voted by other parties,
and that i'm such counties base frauds
had been thus practiced at the two last
elections.
The only remedy for such wrongs,
andthc only guarantee for honest elec-
tions hereafter, was to wipe out these
old lists, and have an entirely new reg
istration IN each new election precinct.
The County Court of Dallas, to its cred
it, has divided the county into sixteen
election precincts; the boundaries OF
each, however, should be Immediately
published for the information Of the
people. No man will have to ride
more than one to probably five miles
to register or to vote, and he pays no
fee for registrotion, nor d es he require
any certificate. Onlypersons wishing
to vote out of their own precinct Tor
county, as the case may be-, are re-
quired get a certificate ofregistration
The true policy is for every man wLe
can, to vote in his own election pre-
cinct. ga.
The people must remember that un-
der the Radical State Constitution, reg
istration is an absolute necessity. No
man can vote or hold office who is not
registered. Democrats, as a principle,
do not believe in registration, but they
cannot yet avoid the necessity.
The next stepto he taken Is for Mr..
John Nj. Laws, our District Clerk, who
is Chief Registrar of the county, to
give notice of the time and place OF
registration in each of the sixteen
election precincts, and to appoint from
among the citizens of each cQmpe-
tent deputy, to attcnd.for five 'lays and
register the voters. That is the whole
of the matter, and must be attended TO
between the 18th of July and the 5th
of August. 'a R,.e
trust, Mr. Editor that, as a matter
of vital Importance to the people, you
will at once publish the order of the
County Court dividing the county into
election precincts, giving the bounda-
ries of each, SO that every man may
know in which precinct he lives. 1t
Is only necessary for the people to un-
derstand the matter TO be satisfied of
its simplicity and justice. Z ]. II. B. &

DALLAS, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS SATURDAY, JULY

of the San 'iSaba, in the valley OF the
Colorado, on Christmas day, 1889.
John Bowles, The. Egg, and many war
riors were killed, and twenty-sevcn
women and children captured. This
decided victory fell with crushing force
on the remnant of the powerful bands
who had for so long n time held sway
in East Texas. Their power was de-
stroycI, and those left sought refuge
also among their kindred west of Ar
kansas. .u ~
In thus hastily recalling to mind
these decisive events, designed, as be-
fore stated, for publication on their34th
anniversary, and as an interesting
chapter in our history, especially to our
fcllow-citizens ofa later day, 1t sprop-
or to say they are written wholly from
memory, without access to any paper
or record to refresh the recollection.
We cannot distinctly locate the fields of
action, though they nre well known to
the people of Smith, Rusk, Cherokee,
Anderson and other counties,L which

OH the soil then occupied by the Cher
okees and their Twelve Associate
Bands.
1t is part Of our history, rich in gal
liant deeds, personal prowcss and hard
ship, in which the children of the emil
grant of to-day will possess n common
heritage with those of the earlier in
for il is one of the features
of Texian character, that once domi-
cilcd, the old settler takes to tho new
with an open-hcartcd frankncss never
by any other people; and
this is us it should be. Our checlcred
and thrilling history is common leg
acy to all children yet to be born in
Texas, and is the well grounded base
for that honorable State pride which
bcfits generous and gallant people. Il

Kind word. for our sou,hern Dead,

DIR. Lillienthal, the well-known
Jewish pastor of Cincinnati, on decor
alton day was called on to deliver the
oration of the occasion in view of the
Federal dead While thoroughly
Union, the address Is leavened by a
truly kindly, and, as some would say,
christian" feeling for our dead Con-
federates, and for the people of the
South. Among other good things, the
doctor said: "Not one ofus all enter
tains the least intention of humiliating
our Southern brethren. We love them,
and have loved them even during the
bloody fratricidal war. We honor
their chivalrous spirit, their indoniits-
BILE courage. We admire the NAMES Of
Lee, Stuart, jackson, johnson and
others. Are they not flesh from our
flesh, bone from our bone? We pity
their orphans, too, for they are our
brethren-our American brethren. We
do not wish TO humble them. We say
to them with our Longfeilow: Let
the dead past bury its dead We ray,
with our good and wise Lincoln: With
malice to none, with charity loT All,
let us do right as God understands il;
and over the graves Of orr fallen
brethren let US renew our iiiial allsgi-

erskite in the political line, but is quito
rational in other respects, as may be
seen by the following resolution, which

Association, and by that body adopted:

printers must make living. 9. That
a man has the same right to walk into

sugar or a sack of coffee, or into law
office and demand legal opinion
from its occupant, or into an undcrta-
