FAILURE OF JAY Cooke T. Cot will be
seen from the Geographic dispatches, in to.
days Gazette, that the Banking firm of Jay
Cooke & Co., whose principal Office was in
Philadelphia, with branches in New York,
Washington and London, and who, during and
since the war, have been iutimatey connected
with the financial operations of the government,
being part Of the Syndicate for the negotia-
ton of the new per Ct loan, have suspended,
causing great excitement and CONSERVATION in
money circles. 1t is thought that the effort on
the part of the firm to sustain No them Pacific
Railroad bonds-they being the principal pro-
jectors of that work-has been the cause of the
suspension, which, it is hoped, is only TEN
porary.

ed Gustayus B. Wallace for the House OF Del
egates, thirteen delegates constituting the Con-
vention. Eleven delegates refused to 60 into
the Convention, and Duff Green announced
himself an Independent candidate. There was
a discussion between Messrs Herndon and
Gordon, candidates for the State Senate, and Il.
T. Daniel and John r. Popham. The speeches
of Messrs Herndon and Daniel aroused great
enthusiasm We regret that there should
have been any want Of harmony on the part OF
the Conservatives in reference to the nominee
for the House of Delegates, and hope that all
differences may yet be settled, so that Stafford
may continue to be the banner county
Because AIr. Beard, who supported Gen.
Grant at the last Presidential election, is now
advocating the electi' \ of the Conservative
ticket in this State, and making telling speech
es, he is denounced, aud his motives impugned
by the Washington Republican. OF course, but
as Mr. Toots would say, ''its of no conse-
quence,' not the slightest, and will do MIR. B.
no harm.
A Culpeper correspondent RadicaD of the
Washington Chronicle, in very biased account
of the discussion at Culpeper G. H., on Mon
day, speaking of Mr.. Daniels speech, however,
says: MIR. Daniel, Of course, made creditable
speech, or rather pretty one, for besides be-
ing very handsome man, he is very hand

struotlon, II Is absolutely necessary
that there should DO some one TO
direct. Every ono knows how
much confusion there is at eve
ry fro, even whore there aro
we'll organized FIRE companies, and
how difficult IL Is TO command a
concert of action. How much
greater then must be tho confusion,
and how much more feeble must be
the effort to battle against tho con-
suming flames, when there is moth.
ling to work but an excited crowd
with no head whatever to direct or
control it. In the single item of
insurance, a great advantage may
be gained by organizing good and
efficient fro company. Many grum-
bic at the apparent high rates of
insurance that companies are charg-
ing on buildings and stocks in our
city, but never seem to think Of the
inevitable loss that fire insurance
companies must sustain, should q
fire occur, and all on account of our
utter inability to arrest it.
Some may object to organizing a
steam fire company on account OF
tho expense. This wo hardly think
q reasonable objection, for Dallas
ought certainly to be able to sus
tain ten fold this expense in cause
so necessary to her interests. But
if we can not have steamer, LEI
us have hook and ladder compa
ny. Surely the expense of organ
izing and equipping such compa
ny cannot be an objection. Besides
with our present number of franz
buildings, such an organization, il
many cases, may be Of more service
than any other. Will some on
take the lead in q cause so necessa
ry to the interests and safety o
) our city? .a

Society in Texas.

| 1t is a lamentable fact that in
this day of rapid transit and COM
munication both by steam and
electricity, that there SHOULD exist
in the minds of so many really
fgood people in the older States
such q vague underlined and erro-
neous ideas of Texas society in gen.
cral. Many people leaving their
old homes for Texas, came with
tho expo citation of meeting with an
uncouth, illiteratc and not unfro-
quently dangerous class. A PEG.
pie TO whom churches and schools
are almost entirely unknown. And
we know no law or protection save
that guaranteed by the free use of
the six.shooter and bowie knife.
They are forgetful that Texas
society, as it exits to-day, is made
up and furnished by many of their
old friends and neighbors, and not
unfrequently relatives from the
older States, and consequently
from the very nature of things
must assimilate the society from
which they came. 1t is a fact that
education is more generally diffus
ed among the masses Of Texas than
among those of any other Southern
State. And as natural conse-
quence there is a cultivated and |
highly polished turn pervading our
society. Texas has her full share
of worthless characters, despera-
docs, &C., but these are the excep-
tons and not the general rule, and
it is is a fact worthy ofnote that these
characters are almost Invariably
recent importations from the older
States, men who came here expect

attain to easy wealth and
distinction through the general
