Begins It's leading editorial article, on
Friday last, as follows
Mayor Cabel, OF Dallas, having tost-
cd tho sweets Of II dend head eXcur-
sion TO 81. louis, wisely concluded that
IL was altogether too buncomblsli, and
IL now actively engaged In his ardu.
OILS duties at home.
Now, whatever smartncss there
might be IN the above fling IL lost sight
Of entirely IN the prevailing want Of
truth that characterzes IL.
Mayor Cabell was called home rom
ST. Louis by dispatch informing him
of serious illness in his family. II was
TO him matter of very great regret
that he was unavoidnbly prevented
from continuing with the excursion.

FORT wonru CONVENTION.

The special correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph, who was In ut
tendance on the Fort Worth oonven-
ton, writes To that paper the following
account of how he was impressed by
all he saw and heard at that place;
FoRT WORTH, July -, 1874.
The convention meets this morning
and will send you the proceedings by
telegraph from Dallas Tonight
What lam going to do now is to give
you picture of this portion Of Texas,
ny IL looks politically. Throcllmorton
Is our grand central figure, and he
stands out boldly in the foreground,
Around him cluster closely the strong
men of the section with tirm-set and
determined faces. They have been
tricked and cheated long enough. They
have got Throckmorton al last, and
they mean to keep him. They mean
to right the wrongs of 1867, when Sheri-
dan, with the bayonets Of military rule
at his back, wrote: 81. w. Throck-
morton, standing in the way of recon-
structlon, is hereby removed from tho
office OF governor Of Texas They
mean TO rcbuke the trickery of Corsi-
cana, and to protest against the out
rage of last winter The universal
voice here is Throck norton. There Is
not ghost Of u show for any other
man, and the action of the convention
an hour from now will send him to

have seen public men worshipped,
| have seen popular idols before, but
have never seen the affections ofstrong,
self-thinking men for this conven-
ton is away above mediocrity
wrapt up IN man ~ theirs is in
lhrockmorton. 1t is very natural that
they should be devoted to him; but the
prevalent impression that he has been
the victim of political schemers and
county wire-pNllers, has made them
Indignant, and they are brought closer
to him in consequence.
Throckmort0n is not here. There is
nothing superficial to feed the flame.
lie is kept at home by n sick wife, Rut
the magnetism of the man is in the
hearts of the people, and they will have
him as their representative, though
he were not to show his face until the
election Is over
The rebuke To those members of the
legislature from this district who aided
in defeating him Tor the senate last
winter has been decidedand blunt. The
WaXahachle senator was u candidate
himself but his own county turned its
back upon him, and comes up with II
delegation instructed for rhrockmor-
ton. Tarrant county, whose represent
tatlves voted against him, instructs
for 'Throckmorton. Kaufman county
Is IN the same fix. There were only
three men from this district who vo-
ted against him last winter, and their
constituents have taken especial pains
to express their disappfObaton by
sending delegations here instructed
solldly for him. The rebuke is en-
phatic, and the sentiment of this peo-
pie cannot he mlsconstrued. From
Decatur in the west, to Sherman in
the east--a magnificent stretch of
country setteled up 10y as intelligent
and broad-minded people as there is
in Texas--a voice as OF one man has
come up here for Throckmorton, and

vention to-day

An OLD NAP.

We have before us u map of n
large portion OF the territory now oc-
cupied by the United States, that was
made in lTl0--one hundred and fifty
years ago--and which is ''most humbly
inscribed 10y the author to William
Law, of England, brother of John Law,
who founded the city of New Orleans.
This mapwas sent tofHE DALLAS HER
AID by J. NJ. Wrightson, ofDover, Kent
county, England, as II sample of five
maps of the same date, representing
different parts of the American conti-
nent, as 1t was then known.
The map before us is certainly great
curiosity. 1t represents lakes Ontario
and Erie as extending considerably
further east than the stale of "Mari-
land" and puts down the "Fall of Nj.
agara, 600 Foot high.n "Pennsilva-
mia" Is a small state, north of the
"Chesapencl' bay and east of "Mari-
land" "Carolina' is the name of all
the territory extending from Virginia
to Floridathe name of Georgia not
appearing on the map. Louisiana en-
braces all the country from the Allie
gheny mountains to the Red river, and
from the gulf of Mexico to the river
"Ouabache or of st. Jerome,n now the
Ohio. Along the whole course of the
Mississippi river, then called the
''river st. Louis" we find but one place
that bears the same name to-day that
1t did when this map was made; that
place is Natchez. The river on which
Dallas Is situated was known near its
mouth as the Trinity. After pcne-
tratlng the interior of the state It's
name on the map Is 'Cenis rivcr.n
There are great many other interest
Ing features about the map which
neither our time nor space will permit
lis to set forth fully. We will be glad
10 show 1t to any Of our readers who
may wish to look at IL for themselves.

Curing versus Cobbiing.

There are many medicines that give tram
silent relief In sickness without touching the
source and seat of the complaint. Hostetter's

tonic and restorative does not cobhe the dis.
eased and enleebled system. 1t is not n mere
palliative, that only temporarily controls
II few unpleasant symptoms. No. its lnvigo-
rating, regulating, restorative principle pen
etrates the very source of the difficulty In the
fluids and solids OF the body, and hence It's
