of 1874 under which an immediate attempt was
made to procure the Indictment OF an obnoxious

even greater peril TO our liberties, depriring us in
many cases Of the benefit of trial by jury, and tran

tyraunical acts of the King of Great Britain. n
ell Enumerated in the Declaration OF ihdopt ndence,
and that its enactment can only be effectively m
by expelling from power OotA the men aud The
party guilty Of the treason
We cam.aend these two resolutions t.
the consideration of men of all parties, and
more especially to the Republicans
The freedom of the press is the indis
pensable prerequisite and condition preced-
ent of every other kind of public liberty
Without it republican government cannot
long exist.
The Republican party are responsible
for the passage by the Republican MAORI
ty in congress OF the notorious Poland
Frelinghuysen law. That law now stands
upon the statute book, aud nothing but
the near approach of the annual elections
has prevented the most determined and
even desperate attempts to enforce 1t
against obnoxious editors and writer's.
And, we repeat. 1t is the work of the Re
publican party, and they are responsible
tor il.
While every convention of every party
should express the public detestation for
this law and demand its repeal, the Re
publicans should especially be earnest and
uncompromisng in their declaration,
Otherwise the people everywhere will not
only hold them guilty OF its passage, but
of desire for its maintenance and pcrpet-
uatlon.
The platform of the Republican state
convention of Minnesota has not one sin
gle word about the repeal of Poland and
Frelinghuysen' gag law The Republi-
cans of that state are apparently willing to
bear their full share of the responsibility
for the enactment and continuance of that
infamous attempt to destroy the freedom
of the press. But are Republicans else
where, and especially in the State of New
York, willing to carry such load upon
their shoulders? Or will they prefer tc
shake it off? In the early days the Re
publican party was the champion of free
soil, free labor, and free speech. Have
they entirely lost the memory and the spi
rit of that better time ?-N T. Sun.

GALVESTON, July ", 1874.
To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
AS residing in Galveston, propose
to contribute to your journal from
time to time something that may be of
interest to your readers, who know
will attach some importance to my
contributions from the mere fact that
they will contain expressions of opin-
ions and statements of facts from our
city, In which your readers, rs citizens
of the state, must feel an interest.
know that such confidence will be
treated as indicative of that feeling of
self-importance that is regarded rs a
part of the individuality of Galveston,
nevertheless / know that Galveston
contributions will be read with inter-
est.
We, here, like the balance of the
state, are occupied to some extent In
thinking of the approaching congress
sional elections, and your district-the
third-comes in for its share of consid-
Grafton, and while we can exert no
influence, doubtless, on the results of
the approaching convention for nomi-
mating democratic candidates, yet we
have our desires as to who shall re-
ceive that nomination, my impress
sion being that Galveston is fully in
accord with the third district so far as
heard from, in thinking that Governor
Throckmorton should receive the NOM
nation. We feel that while the gov

the Representatives Of the people since
the ascendancy Of democracy after the
war, that this has resulted not from
the want of public confidence, but on
account of the combinations of minori-
ties on the outside of the governors
own district, and which has operated
to the selection Of persons by compro-
misses and concessions that did not re-
fleet the choice of the country. And
We are prepared now to see ourselves
honored by the nomination of Gov
ernor Throckmorton, man whose
usefulness and distinguished services
ia private life, as well as public, have
made evident the fact that the coun.
try will be the loser IL the selection be
not made. 4akk ksa

:. property THAT PAYS.

We commend to the thoughtful con-
sideration of the wideawake capital
lists of Dallas the following extract
from the Charleston News and Courier,
showing the almost fabulous profits
made by cotton mill in Georgia. II
Dallas wishes to realize in the future
the promises Of greatness now made in
her behalf, she must turn her attention
to manufaeturing.s Isthere any posi-
BILE reason why the same profits that
have been made at Augusta could not
be made here In Dallase II there is
we would be glad to know what that
reason Is.
The profits of the Augusta Cotton
mill have been absolutely marvellous.
It was bought by its present owners for
one hundred and forty thousand dollars
on ten years credit, at seven per cent
Interest," The stock holders paid In but
sixty thousand dollars, which was ex-
pended In machinery and improve
ments. The property has paid for H.
self additional land has been purchas-
ed, new buildings have been erected
one hundred thousand dollars invested
In new machinery; the, capital stock
has been increased (watered) to six
hundred thousand dollars, and the
company has paid out dividends to its
stockholders since., the war 10 the
amount of one million and sixty-eight
thousand dollars; has to-day property
worth one million two hundred thous-
and dollars at the smallest calculation,
and o surplus 81 over two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. When will
oherlestdp build her first cotton mill?

Congressional.
denton Monitor, lOth.l


with the exception Of the Courier
the newspapers Of the third congress
sonal district ARE smoothly aud har-
mOnl0usly supporting Ex-Governor j.
w. Throckm0rt0n for congress and
we believe II II generally conceded TINT
he will receive four-iifths OF the votes
of the Fort Worth convention.
But, says the Courier, II won't do for
us democrats 10 40 for Throckmorton
this time, for the reason that he IL u
railroad man.
This position Of the Courier Is M
strange ~ II II lnexplicable and lncon-
slstent. Did not the Courier and the
whole Grayson county delegation sup
port Throckm0rton for congress In the
last congressional canvass and In the
C0rslcana convention and IL Throck-
morton any more OF u railroad man
now than then? Certainly not. But
the Courier wants IN anti-railroad
man, but IL In favor Of railroads and
likes Throckmorton. Nevertheless, II
prefers Captain Silas Hare M the en-
bodiment Of all that IL perfect and de-
sirable.
Now the fact is the records Of both
gentlemen are well known 10 the peo-
Dle of Texas, and especially Of this dis
trict. The Courier can tell us nothing
new of either. II Is true that Captain
Hare IL man Of genius, We have
given him, through the columns of the
Monitor, what he pronounced the best
eulogy he had ever received. But we
could never have said Hare was not II
railroad man. We remember too well
how he sought to persuade the people
Of Grayson to vote hid to the Central
and TO the Trans-C Continental. We re-
member, too, that II Hare's advice had
been taken the Missouri Kansas and
Texas railroad would have been built
to Sherman. Captain Hare Is emphat-
ically ~ thoroughly n railroad man as
there IL In the state, and II the Courier
desires 10 stir up an opposition to
Throckmorton, It had better "pull on
some other string.'
ThrocRmorton makes no secret of the
fact that he il deeply anxious to see
completed the Trans-Continental rail
road. This Is well known, for he has
labored for this thing over twenty
years, supported by Hare and backed
by the Courier from its incipiency.
Let not his friends betray him.
