LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HUB
HARD,

A correspondent Of the Galveston
News, who met Lieutenant Governor
Hubbard on the train between Tyler
md Mlneola, gives the following as
the lieutenant governors opinions on
certain points. We are glad 10 see
that he concurs In the idea expressed
by us some time ago, that the most
practical scheme TO relieve the embar-
rassed financial condition Of the state
would be 10 call upon the people Of
Texas to put their own shoulders 10 the
wheel:
From necessarily brief and frag-
mentaIy conversation on the train be-
tween Lieutenant Governor Hubbard
aud your reporter, II appears that this
distinguished gentleman participates
with Captain Herndon aud Judge Rei-
gnn In their views OF the leading ques-
tons OF interest to our people. He
thinks the people demand II constitu-
tiOnal convention, that the governor
will urge IL, and that the legislature
will provide, ut M early day Of the APP
pr0achiLg session, TO carry out the
views of the people. He says the leg.
islnturc should settle the International
railroad bond question, and that II II
fails, the convention may mud means
to settle II satisfactorily liquidation
In semblance or fact Is very distnstefnl
to him. The floating debt will be paid
of In some way ut an early day.
Lieutenant Govcrnor Hubbard thinks
the people Of Texas ARE patriotic and
rich enough TO take the bonds of the
state sought TO be negotiated by Colo
mel Moody, and that n syndicate would
place them within our borders In short
order. Being asked 10y your reporter
II he would allow the floating debt
Estate wnrrnnts) 10 he funded by such
syndicate, he said he thought 1t would
he proper that II would be the means
of facilitating the negotiation, bring
Ing warrants and the state credit at a
jump up to psr, nj least here IN Texas,
aud that now there Is no other mode Of
meeting the difficulty, unless the legls-
luture settles the International railroad
bond question IN such manner rs TO
clear the state of the imputation of II
disposition TO repudlatc It's obligations,
and thus enable Mr.. Moody TO secure
the loan at good figures.

THE HEATED TERN.


The unprecedentedly hot weather
that has been prevailing for four
weeks, together with the accompany
Ing drouth, has bllghied tho hopes OF
many hard working farmer who, ON
the first of July, looked proudly over
his fields aud estimated the return he
would get In autumn for his labor Of
the spring and summer, Such II has
always been and such II will always
be. Man proposes, but God disposes.
Disappointment ", We suppose, u
healthy discipline, and us such Is nd
mlnlstered to us.
But, moralizlng aside, the serious
shortening of the crop that Is bound to
result from the long continued heated
term IL one of the most serious mis-
fortunes that has ever bclallen Texas.
In Illinois the corn crop II almost II
total failure. In u large part of Kan
sas the grasshopper has "been n bur-
den,p aud has swept everything clean
before His ravenous march. In Ken
lucky and portions Of Tennessee the
corn and provision crops are utterly
worthless.
In these days Of casy and rapid
transportation people in Locating,
where provisions are scarce and high
priced, find II to their interest to move
TO other places where the necessities of
life are cheap. So that II we should he
In condition here TO offer cheap corn to
emigrants taey would come In hundreds
and In thousands to avail themselves
Of 1t, and to make Texas their home.
And that Is all we want 10 make Texas
an empire within herself-to see her
boundless prairies dotted all over with
the homes of happy and prosperous
people.
1t may be possible, as we have heard
suggested that the damage to the corn
orop Is not ns great as Is npprehendod
thai inc corn was 50 lar auNhhccu
before the raUs ceased that Invent on
maturing, and that, In fact, the crop
TO be gathered is very near as full as
was ut any time expected. We earn
estly hope that this may be so, and
would be glad TO hear from practical
planters In Dallas county and in other
counties rs to the true state of the
case. If the information can be sent
abroad through the papers of the state
that there will be corn enough and to
spare and that 1t can be bought at
reasonable price, II will be of untold
advantage to the rapid development of
the country.

ical disturbances which ordinarily arise
from change OF climate and lie changes of
diet, water, etc, incident TO Il wandering
life. Upon systems toned, inYigorated and
regulated by this genial vegetable antidote
the external causes OF debility and disease
seem to produce little or no effect. Fore
armed with llosletler', BitterS, the Voyager
may bid defiance 10 sea-sickuess and en-
counter the chilling lOgs of the British Isles,
the coast winds of the Antilles, the ley tenn

The effect OF this admirable indicated slim
ulant Is greatly to increase the vital energy
ofthe system, thereby enabling il To resist

FALSE REPORTS.

We are informed that IL was reported
IN Marshall yesterday, or the day pre-
viously, that there had been four
deaths in this city from yellow fever
The report was false in every particu-
lar. Shreveport never was healthier
at this season Of the year. There has
not been single ease of yellow fever
this season, nor case of anything re-
semhling it, The report must have
originated in II spirit Of mischief, for
there is absolutely no foundation for it,
though il u man were killed on Texas
street 10y streak Of lightning, before
the news got to Milan street some
Id emean dashed fool would haveit
that II was well authenticated ease of
yellow fever.
We see and converse with the presi-
dent Of the board Of health daily, and
IL yellow fever makes its appearance
here we shall promptly state the fact
--LShrevcport Times, 18th.
We clip the above from the Times,
in order that we may verify its asser-
tions, II such Is needed. The writer of
this spent Tuesday last in Shreveport,
and on his return home the same
night, heard, with surprise, the same
rumors atvurious places along the road.
We say with surprise, because ii was
the current remark among the citi-
liens that it was unusually healthy,
there being almost total absence Of
the usual fall sickness. AS further
evidence of the health of our sister
city, we append below, the report of
the health officer for the week ending
last Saturday, taken from the Times:
The city sections report shows seven
deaths, which should contain but six.
A death occurring ON the LIST instant
was not accounted for in last weeks

ing physician to furnish the death GER

Death of Mr.. Sumner.

Hon. Charles Sumner, U. S. Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, died at Wash
ingtOn City, on the 18th inst. He was
sixty-three years old. Mr.. Sumner
never entirely recovered from the
brutal attack made upon him by Bully
Brooks, Of South Carolina, in May,
1856. Whatever may be said of some
Of Mr.. Summers political phases, it
will not, we think, be denied that he
was a man of great talent and honesty
OF purpose. He was an ardent op-
pOnent of the extension of slavery,
and dared to speak his sentiments
boldly in relation to the institution,
and for this right and free exercise of
speech, he was hrutally stricken down,
and that act on the part of Brooks,
and the justification of the act by the
friends of slavery, did more than any
thing that had previously been done
towards the final overthrow of slavery.
Men who had previously been silent
on the subject, seeing the arrogance of
the slave power, and the determination
Of its friends to prevent-by brutal
force-the right of free speech, took
their stand among the friends of free
institutions, and against the spread of
an institution that was shameful and
disgraceful to the flag of our country.

SafFord's War Upon the Temper
anC0 Reform

The late Judge Stafford made one of
his characteristic speeches in opposi-
ton to the great temperance reforma-
ton that has been in progress in Ohio,
and which has spread to other states
within a few weeks past The VIo'
lence and low abuse the late Judge at
tempts to heap upon the women and
all engaged in the grand reformation
is exciting the friends of the cause to
new and vigorous efforts to suppress
the monster evil, and the more Stafford
tries to crush out the women, the more
they won be crushed Out-that is
their nature. They know that they
are fright, and they will go ahead" in
spite of the efforts of Judge Stafford or
anybody else who attempts to heap
ridieule on the cause But in order to
give our readers a slight idea of the
character of this speech, we make the
following extract from the report of
the Chillicothe correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer of Monday morn
ing:
Agreeable to announcement, Judge
Stafford delivered his speech in opposi-
ton to the women's temperance move
ment at the City Hall last evening. The
hall was crowded, and the speech, oi
more than two hours duration, was at
tentively listened to and frequently ap
plauded In some respects the speech
was most remarkable, inasmuch as the
Judge took occasion to characterize
the Protestant clergy as a set of infa
nous scoundrels, who made it theil
business to illuminate lies about hon
est men. The women he spoke of as
being honest but misguided, and th'
dupes of religious fanatics and intrigu
ing politicians. The movement b.
spoke of as being the result of fanati
cism, and counseled resistance to tn
fullest extent of the law.
He urged organization upon the par
of those opposed to the movement
and said that to attempt to fight tn,
women single handed was certail
defeat. He styled their operations a
female Commune, and said it was
disgrace to civilized society. He wa
epscially severe upon the Methods
clergy who be said, when speaking o
the celibacy of the Catholic priesthO od
were not satisfied with wives, but mus
have many harlots beside. He assert
ed that men in this country had legs
right to sell whisky, and the Govern
ment gave them license, and if Hurs
said it was not license he would cal
him liar to his teeth.
The above will give you an idea o
the tenor of his speech. We do nc
think even his friends are satisfie
with it, as in his remarks he frequent
, bordered on blasphemy. He was fol
lowed by B. Forum, who addresse
the croWed in German.

In a political sense, we are
taught to regard the majority vote on
any question at our municipal, State
or national elections, az the will of
the people who compose any one of
these political organizations. This vote
only expresses the will of the majority
who do the voting. But there is
another class of our people who are
equal in numbers, and who are equally
interested in the moral, civil and finan-
cial government of this country, who
are denied the right of expressing their
wishes in relation to great questions of
public interest,-in legal form, and
thus bringing out what is really the
popular will of the great majority of
the people. Until the women of our
country are permitted to cast the bal
lot, the ballot. boxes fail to give true
expression of what is, in truth, the
popular will of people who are equal
ly interested in the good government
of our country. Nobody will deny
that women have rights under ouI
government. Then ought they not
to have a voice in the selection of the
government
