GOV. Taylor of Wisconsin, issued a proc
lamation on the LIST warning the railroads not
to violate the new law, and declaring that he
will employ the whole power of the State to
enforce it. The following is the concluding
portion of the procamation
Now, therefore, l. William r. Taylor, Gov
Crnor OF the State of Wisconsin, do proclaim and
make known that the law of the land must be
respected and obeyed. While none are so weak

as to be above its restraints. If the provisions

The Chicago papers of the 9Th publish the
opinions of Messrs 4. Il. Curtis, of Massa-
chusetts, and VIM NJ. Evarts, of New York,
as to the constitutionality of the Wisconsin
Railroad law. These opinions were given in
response to an application by the railroad
companies interested, and are to the effect
that the new law is unconstitutional-Mr
Curtis arguing that the Legislature has no
power to prescribe the remuneration

REUNION.

Two moves have just been made in
the direction of restoration of frater-
nal relations between the different
branches of the Presbyterian church,
north and south, heretofore estranged
by the war and the agitations which
follow ed it. The move has not been
for organic reunion, but the establish
ment of relations of chr tian comfy
between them. This 81. cessfully done
might, after n time, break down all
barriers, and lead to actual reunion.
The northern assembly, in session
st. Louis, took such action as 10 give
great satisfaction to the Independent
southern synod of Missouri to which
we shall refer again. The southern as
sembly at Columbus, Mississippi, con-
sidered the question, and made con-
cagsions declined ut former sessions.
The evident tendency is toward II bet
ter feeling. Outside of church rela-
tions, and speaking only in the Inter
est of peaceful relations between the
sections, we hope how soon all ami
mosities may be overcome.

THE reported execution of eleven
other robbers and horse thieves by the
uprising of the people in the frontier
counties of Brown and Comanche, is
tut another evidence of the extent to
which those people have SO long sui
fered by the depredations Of organized
bands. Since the war IT seems that
large numbers of such men have
sought the stock raising portions OF
Texas as q field of operations. The
people, until the last year or so, being
20 tninly scattered oyer that portion OF
the country, have been compelled to
submit in patience to many ouIrages'
by having emigration theY arc now
much stronger, and seem determined
to act in concert for mutual protection,
The alternative is dire one; but men,
however law-abiding, will MAKE an
apology for those frontier people
which would not apply TO old and
denise communities, where the majesty
of the law can be maintained by the
civil authorities,

NOTWITHSTANDING the dull season
of summer is upon us, and the general
scarcity of money through the country,
the business of Dallas is decidedly bet
ter than in any former year at this
period. People from the country come
in much more freely than was antici-
pated. The season is fine for farmers
and others, at distance, to come in
for lumber, and the large number Of
improvements under way give employ
ment to several hundred workmen.
Hence, instead of feeling gloomy, We
have abundant reason to feel satisfied
with our condition.

There is n young lady i'm this city
who has the misfortune to talk In her
sleep, and it is said she will answer,
uncOnsciously, the questions which are
secrets in her waking hours. She is
waited on by timid young man who
has never been able to screw his cour-
age up to the Sticking place" and
asked her to marry him. He went up
one night last week, and entering the
front door, as was his habit, without
ringing the bell, he saw his dulcina
asleep OH the parlor sofa.
He hesitated moment over the
propriety of advancing without an
nouncing himself, when he heard his
own name softly expressed from be-
tween those coral lips. Immediately
the pent-up burden of his heart broke
out in words:
dearest, do you love me"!"
Mes," was the soft response from
the sleeper.
"Will you marry me-"
"Nes."
"Shall it be in a year?"
"Any time"
W.et il be in six MONTHS
There was II moments silence
and suspense, when the lips again
moved, and the young man heard dis
tinctly the little word, "Jme." lie
stepped cautiously back, and glided
quietly from the house. He has been
up every night since, but has not re-
ferred to the conversation with the
sleeper. Ju"e is Il very pleasant
month, but the time is rather too soon

BEFORE the people willlhave an in
telligible idea of the laws pass
ed by the late legislature, the
same body will be again in session
amending, altering, adding to and re-
pealing, So it has been ever since the
radical state constitution fastened upon
the country annual sessions of the law
making body, and so it will remain
TIL we get u new constitution. In u
state so large as ours, annual sessions
will ever prove acurse. Biennial meet
ings are the shortest admissible terms,
and we are sure that, in many respects,
a session once in three or four years
would be great Improvement. The
people should know the laws Of their
state; but with annual sessions, neith-
er the lawyers nor judges can keep
pace with the ever changing statutes.

Civil Rights Bill,

Like many other public acts, is bill
with a false title. 1t proposes civil
rights, but practically denies them.
1t proposes to equaiiae education, but
really does nothing of the kind. 1t Is
q blow alike at white and colOred peo-
pie. 1t asks an impossibility. 1t asks
not only that the prejudices of CEN
tury shall be broken down at once, but
insists upon pains and penalties if they
are not. Besides making this unjust
and unnecessary war upon our aah9ol
system, it goes further, and inflicts
penalties upon religious corporations
for noS conforming 10 The letter of the
law in the management of their baptis-
NAL fonts. and in the regulation of
their cemeteries.
1t dictates to owners of taverns, and
theaters, and restaurants, as to the
manner in which they shall conduct
their business, or rather who may or
may not bo Admitted TO- their tables
and seQts Of entertainment. 1t fines
ana imprisons men who conduct their
business in their own way. 1t is bill
in no sense republican in its character,
far it makes war upon the states which
alone can rightfully control educa-
tional institutions, but upon the life
long customs and action of the states
and people. 1t is in every respect an
unnecessary measure. Its as despotic
in its character as it will he otteI,Sive
in its execution. We cgitsCise other
governments and forIas of government
as desp0t.e, and suffer our rulers to-
raahe d despotisn of their own for US.
Congress may destroy our schools
and build up new despotism In the
country, but it cannot change the
minds Of men, nor compel the people
| in social life and conduct, to act either
against their will or their mature judg-
ment. 1t can punish now, but it can
not long act against personal right,
state right and the lifelong customs of
the country. The enemies of the col
ored race, more than their friends, re-
joice when they see an act like this,
and so may the enemies of the coun-
try, when they see congress, step by
step, making innovation upon innoyG-
ton upon established rights,
What, indeed, G,ay congress not do
in the way OF state, social and local in
reference, If it can pass an act like
this? 2,
The more important objection 10 the
bill, which Is federal Interference with
such state Institutions as education,
and the almost literal position ol
placing all the children of the country
under the political control or superin-
tendence of the federal government, Is
a topic which the defenders of the bill
in their discussions avoid as much as
possible.

WE are glad to see that our young
townsman, Master Jack J. Scott, passed
handsome examination at the Texas
military institute, and took the second
premium in his class. Master Jack is
a worthy son of Dallas, of whom we
are proud. If he perseveres in his
studious and upright course, avoid
ing ways that are evil, the day Will
speedily roll round when the country
will also be proud of him. In this day
of dissipation and latitudinous morals,
our heart warns to the youth who re-
spects the ways of his fathers. BE
steadfast, avoid vain show, eschew
e., and cling to that which is good,
and your reward will come as surely as
life lasts.

At fire in large city, while the
upper stories of lofty dwelling were
wrapped in smoke, and the lower
stories all aglow with flame, piercing
Shrek told the startled tiremen that
there was some one still in the building
in peril. A ladder was quickly reared,
until it touched the heated walls, and
diving through the flames and smoke
d brave young fireman rushed up the
Pounds on his errand of mercy. Stified
by the smoke, he stopped, and seemed
about to descend. The crowd was in
agony, as q lie seemed lost, Ior every
moment of hesitation seemed an age.
While this shivering fear seized every
3beholder, voice from the crowd
cried out "cheer him cheer him !"
and wild "hurrah' burst rom
lhe excited spectators. AS the cheer
reached the fireman he started
upward through the curling
smoke, and in few moments was
seen coming down the ladder with a
child i'm his arms. That cheer did the
work. How much can we do to help
the brave ones vino are struggling with
temptation, or almost fainting in their
efforts to do good to Others. Don't find
fault with your brother in his trial, but
cheer him. Give him a word that shall
urge him on the way, and If you can't

SWORD PRESENTATION.

The idea that when democrat gets
into office he may do wrong, which we
denounced as base in the radicals, is at
war with the first elements of democ-
racy. A democrat from crown to toe,
from our first vote in the long ago till
now, we shall denounce any and every
act of wrong doing by officials of our
own party. We detest secret loyal
leagues, and we detest no less those
secret mental reservations by which q
professed democrat, when elected to
Office, assumes to depart from these
high and ineorruptible principles en-
grated into our party by its great
founder, the immortal Jefferson. Oil
and water won't mix.
