COLONEL r.. ID. ALLISON, Democrat
ic nominee for the Senate in the Collin
district. is u man of noble record. He
was an officer in the Florida war, in
the Mexican war and gallant Colonel
in the Confederate army. He was also
several times Senator in Tennessee.
Though advanced in life, his large eH-
pcrience, fine practical mind and I'M
questioned purity, eminently fit him
for the Senate of Texas next winter.
We think Collin county ought to
have reelected Colonel Ed. Chambers
10 tie House. He, too, is an old Ten
nessee legislator. He was in our Leg
islature in 1866 and again last winter.
lie voted himself out OF Office as Il
means OF one year earlier relieving
Texas of Rudcalism and, in gratitude,
ought to have been reelected. While
this is our view, we recognize in Dr..

tloman, who will reflect credit on his

SCHOOL BOOKS.

Under the new school law ofTeXas,
enacted as the best that could be done
by the last Legislature, with Radi-
cal Governor in office, the County
Boards of school Directors are clothed
with authority to select the school
books TO be used from time to time by
the public schools of their respective
counties. This was deemed just to the
parents of the State, who, under the
Radical law, had been compelled to
use such books rs the carpetbagger,
DeGress and his satellites might die
tate. Under their rule our children
were to be taught to believe their IA
Tiers in the late war for Southern indie
Deudence were traitors and m.alefac-
tors.
As an augury of the future, we are
glad to see that the School Board of
Marion county, including the hereto
fore prosecuted city of Jefferson, has
adopted the University series of school
books-that splendid series prepared
by Southern men of great eminence
and purity, whose books are based Oh
truth, and are entirely free of all sec
tional and scctarian feeling. The fol-
lowing order explains itself. We hope
Dallas and every county in the State
will follow suit:

This is n momcntous question, 1t is
an overshadowing question. 1t Is one
of tremendous meaning. 1t involves
your social liberty, your political lib
erty. your mental liberty and your
moral liberty. You have but mere
span of time to bridge over your neg
lect. The days are short. The hours
are ficcting. There can be no hesita-
ton upon the grounds of "no use."
That pictures you to the world as a
marty dead beat. There can be no
indifference upon the grounds of want
oftime.v That will strike you in the
category Of spurious patriots, tragical
in promises, farcical in execution.
There can be no failure upon the
of "we'll conquer anyhow"
That will stamp you as crafty precip-
tate. a masked coward or an ass Re
lioious considerations demand that
con should register. Social cOnsid-
prations demand that you should
raoister. Business considerations
demand that you should reg
.er. You can't find an opening to get
mt of the responsibility and receive
he approval of your conscience. It's
. holy duty. Your first and your last

pillar Of fire by night, and you can

lack as damnation and a peIhoy as

that the Democrats of Dallas were
going to throw off Captain Bradshaw

Radical candidate. We have suspect

some in Fort Worth toward Dallas,

A PLANTATION DESTROYED BY FIRE
A Babe Consumed in the Flames.

We have the most distressing intel
ligence from gentleman residing some
three miles from the scene of one of
the saddest and most destructive fires
that we have been called upon to
chronicle for long while. The local
ity of the devastation is some six miles
from this city, Oh White Rock, on a
plantation belonging to n gentleman
whose name our Informant was unable
to give, and the facts of the burning are
about as follows: In one corner of 4
large field of cotton tent had been
erected by family, who had engaged
to pick cotton for the owners of the
plantation. On the outside of the
tent door the occupants had built log
fire on the morning of the melancholy
incident "Wednesday last, and an
infant eight months old was left asleep
in the tent, while the family went off
to their days labor. During the day II
high wind sprang up, and it Is sup
posed kindled the embers into a flame
which communicated with the canvass,
which it at once consumed, the infant
being found few hours afterwards
by the parents, WIZ were attracted by
the burning field of cotton, burned to a
charcoal. The amount Of unpicked
cotton destroyed would have yielded
upwards of twenty bales, aud the loss
is estimated at several thousand dol
lars.

with nearly everybody else. are very much
in want OF ready money at this particular
crisis in affairs. But. having settled with
the State and city, their money has passed
beyond their reach. and no one thinks Ct

plea of sickness. poverty. ruin nor any,
thing else has been fled in favor Q. these
prompt payers.
But the de.irquen.s fare differently.
Their cause is championed by all the po-

which they owe the State. As the world |

Now this IS no: fair. 1t is no: legal. Mr..

to let taxpayer off from the payment Of
