We are rejoiced to bear Of the pros
perity of this ancient and original seat
of civilization in Texas. IN the mi
tial5 to the following letter, written to
the Indianola Bulletin, we recognize Il
gentleman long known to us for strict
integrity. He says:
This solid old city, that has with
stood the shock of revolutions and the
rise and fall of empires, has taken
new lease on life. Three roads are APP
proaching us--thc Gulf, the Columbus
and the international. Many of the
heavy railroad men are purchasing
property here, and will make this
place their headquarters, rs the roads
start fIom here into Mexico.
New streets are being opened up, OLD
and crooked ones Widened and straight
eneG, large new bitches for irrigation
are being dug; very many private resi-
dences in every part of the city are be-
inc constructed, many Of them artistic
and magnificent. Large and many
STORED rock commercial houses are
being erected in all portions OF the bus
mess centers. An air of determined
yigor and cheerful hope pervades every
circle. Many flTt-class northern men,
backed by bags of gold are arriving
here. Seven large public squares and
parks now ornament the city, the san
Pedro park being the finest III the
state.
The three newspapers here seem to
he in thrivin% condition. Many new
farms are now being opened up adJa-
cent TO the city, alltue prospects here
for crops are fine. With the addition
of the immense canals for irrigation
purposes, nov being constructed east
and west of the citv--these canals be-
ing the fountains Of hundreds of small
bitches running through the gardens
tie water facilities of the city will be
unequalled by those of any city on the
continent. For many years the city
has been penetrated aud Watered by
several large canals, famousin the his
tory of the place.
The churches here are all prosper
ing, the Presbyterian and Methodist
Episcopal having been established
snany years ago, and been the foun
rains Of Protestant religious influence.
The Episcopal church edifice is just
now approaching completion, and will
be tl,a most beautiful and commodious
Protestant structure in the city posi-
bly, in the state. The Baptists are be
ginning 10 wake up aud are now build
ing. But Roman Catholicism, with its
splendid churches and magnificent col
ieges and cathedrals, overshadows
everything in numbers and architec-
iure. -. ... Co. II. e. II.
We respectfully call the attention of
our fellow-eitizens of Dallas to the
above extracts, especially to the re-
marks about public squares and parks,
seven in number, in city not larger
than Dallas. .i Sd

Special dispatch to the Dallas Herald:
PARIS, June 10.-In the assembly M.
Girard, deputy from Mieucesand men,
Der of the left, read document which
he stated had been circulated during
the election in that department. The
paper urges the Bonapartist officials to
confer all appointments in their gift on
retired officers who are in favor of The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS candidate, and
add that the minister Of finance, NJ.
Monge, has furnished list OF such Off
GERS of the government. M. Girard de-
mands honest inquiry into the affair."
NJ. Rouher disclaimed any knowledge
Of the document, and insinuated that
it was fictitious. He declared himself
in favor of an inquiry, and would dis
cuss the subject when the results ofthe
investigation were presented to the as
sembly.
Gambetta accused Ministers Mogne
and Cieserl Of completely in this dis
creditable business. The Bonapartist
members of the assembly endorsed
Rouher's offer to discuss the matter
when investigated. Rouher then re-
minded the chamber of the charges In
relation to the improper and fraudu-
lent contracts and appointments re-
ported by The conmissiop on the acts
Of the September government against
NJ. Gambetta. A violent scene fol-
lowed. Gambetta replied that he had
always answered the questions of the
commission, but did not admit the
right of the wretches, with which term
he branded the Bonapartists, to ques-
ton him.
The tumult and shouting which this
reply produced, rendered Rouher's re-
joinder inaudible. Bouffet threatened
10 vote a eensure on Gambetta for the
words he had spoken. After the sit
ting, Gambetta and his friends were
followed as they were leaving the
chamber and insulted by the Bona
partists, The occurrence is considered
as of q serioas character and causes
great excitement in Paris. The left
claim three hundred and thirty men,
bers pledged to vote vote for the disso-
luton of the assembly, and they only
require thirty more votes to carry the
motion which they intend to intro
duce at the eariiess day.

THE Rockwell Banner of last SatuF-
dav comes out strongly for ex-Govern-
OF Throclzmorton for congress, and pays
that gentleman a handsome and well
deserved compliment. The Banner
goes on tosay: .'E.

the kindest OF feeling and In due de-
ference to our neighbor, General Good,
OF Dallas, WHO has been announced as
the choice Of the Dallas HERALD anu
Kaufman Star, and for whose talent
and ability we have the utmost regard,
and would not detract one single lau-
rel from his brow, a. We have no fight

make this declaration ia expression of
our sentiments
As far as the Dallas HERALD is con-
.,eri,ed. our ne'ghbor is in error. The
HEnAaas has not announced any one
as its choice ~ the coming canvass. 1t
is well known to al the readers of the

warm friend and advocate Of Governor
Throckmorton, and it has seen no rea-
son so far to change its opinion. We

WE received, yesterday, call from
Mr.. S. II. Clement, one of the owners
of the fine little schooner Lottie Mayo,
engaged in the fruit trade between
Galveston and TuXpan, Mexico. He
visits Dallas to effect direct arrange
ments for the sale of fruits, and we
hope some of our business men may
meet his wishes. During considera-
bic part of the year here liberal sup
ply of tropical fruits would be great
luxury, and, by proper arrangements,
they can be furnished much cheaper
than heretofore. Mr.. Clement repre-
sents the American settlers ut TuXpan
rs in prosperous condition, and the
production of sugar as very profitable
and steadily increasing, He mentions,
also, that on the last trip of the schooner
up, son of ColoHel Crump, of Jeffer-
son, Texas, lassoed large shark, which
came accommodating around the
schooner, whereupon he was duly
hauled aboard by We sailor boys.

Mr.. Dorm had previously written to his
son, citizen Of the state of Nevada, to
come to Texas, that he might make
him chief clerk of the treasury depart
ment of Texas. This is worse nepo-
tism than we ever charged, for we
supposed the young man was at least a
citizen orTeXas, living with his father
in Bonham. But now, by the state
ment of his special friend, it appears
that he was living in distant state,
fifteen hundred miles away, and was
especially imported to fill a fat Office,
which belonged not TO Mr.. Dorm per-
sonally, but 10 the people OF Texas,
very few of whom ever heard OF MI
Dorm till he was nominated, rs Il sec
ti0nal concession to north Texas, torthe
Office of state treasGrer-one of those
accidents that sometimes characterilt
nominating conventions.
We make no attack on Mr.. Dorm per-
sonalIy; on the contrary, supported
him warmly. But on Mr.. Dorn's act:
us state treasurer elected by democratic
votes, we stamp the seal Of condemns
ton, and were it to do over again
would by 40 means lend him our sup
port. Instead OF being convinced o
error In our structures, we are donbiS
strengthened in the conviction ofthcil
justice.
Moreover, our correspondent, Us VIZ
have the best reason to know, is II
fault in regard to facts affecting Tho
understanding of the gentleman turnct
out.
If Mr.. Dorm or his friends wish tt
ventilate the matter more fully, lie
them do SO. We stand on the rock o
political purity, good faith and integ
rity, and shall not shrink from tin
issue. He was an unknown man il
Texas, outside of two or three coun
ties, and was nominated solely becaus
he lived in north Texas and wa
vouehed for by his immediate friends
among whom we were one. The i'll
delicacy Of his casting aside such al
old and pure public servant as c. II
Randolph, to iAakc room for his owl
son, imported for the purpose from
Nevada, across the Rocky Mountains
may suit some people, but it will no
be swallowed by any Jetiersonian Dem

IN WAS cur pleasure Thursday to
meet Major John w. Tabor, of BRYAN,
Texas. Our iirstacquaintance with him
was in n baptism of tears, when, on
the 10th day Of April, 1862, in the rep
resentative hall at Austin, it was our
allotted duty to pronounce the 1unerai
Grafton over the remains of one OF
Texas nobleat, bravest and best be-
loved SONS, the peerless General Zen
McCull0ch, whose remains we hau
alone escorted from the field of his
glory Mt Elkhorn, astraddle of the line
of Missouri and Arkansas, six hum
dred and eighty-nine miles, to the cap
itol of our own state. Among the
audience of five thousand people ON
that occasion, was Colonel X. L. j..
Aliens seventeenth regiment of Texas
infantry, of which cx-Lieutenant Gov
ernor George Wash Jones, was lieuten-
ant colonel, and our friend, john w.
Tabor, was major. Over that scene
we draw the veil of love, faith and
charity.
Next, we met Major Tabor at Camp
Nelson, village of Austin, thirty miles
north of Little Book, Arkansas, in the
month of November, 1862, where on
one day that fine body of Texas troops
arrived twelve hundred strong, and
went into camp, the pride of all those
seventeen thousand men, for health
and vigor, after Il land march OF SIN
hundred miles. OF that body, Henry
T.. McCull0ch, IA Texas ranger, was the
commanding general, and it was oul
lot to be adjutant general.
Within three days after their arriva
in camp, of Aliens twelve hundred
stalwart men, over three hundred were
stricken down with malarious diseases
and many, alas, were soon consigned
to that stranger earth, never more IN
this life) to embrace father, mother
brother or sistsr.
AT that camp repose the remains 0
the gallant Colonel Allison Nelson ant
scores of men brave and true. Ant
there we, too, were stricken down, ant
by friends considered on the SAM
road, but, through the skill of DR.. Jess
Boring, the Kindness of one now living
midway between Hutchings and Ian
caster, then citizen there Ito us o
blessed memory, life was spared, and
to-day, here we are to chronicle tn
pleasure we had yesterday in meeting
our old friend. an eye witness to thos
scenes, the honest and brave old major
John w. Tabor.
