sage philosophers, still that will not
deter me from prophesylng that ere We
have reached the years OF manhood,
the valiant sons Of Eria upon this coast
will have an opportunity OF buckling
on their armor and marching forth to
battle In earnest on Irish soil for tho
liberation Of their beloved county.
After the speech OF Captain Field,
tho following poem was delivered by
Master A. Hyde In . very pleasing
manner:
Dear Ireland. We, your sons, to-day
In this nee land, 90 fr away,
We meet In union proud and strong
To coudemn the grievols wrong
Old England visiis on thy head,
Unjustly mar IL well be said;
Dsprving thee Of every right
In which Q nation could delight,
And making slaves and pAupers, too.
or mon they did By chance subdue.
FOR seven hundred year, or mois
This cursed oppression Erin bore;
Her sons have struggled, bat In vain,
To break tho tyrani's cruel chain;
They fought like heroes. long and well,
Till many Of the brAvest ell;
And fraud, the weapon OF the foe.
Has brought upon her bitter WOO.
In every land beneath the sun,
The deeds brave Irishmen have done
Shine with . radiance ~ bright
As shone the nrs on Tara's height,
When good 81. Patrick, wrapped In prayer,
First Taught our blest religion there;
When nrst he III that sacrsd nrc
Which did the Druld's heart intpire,
Making them worship the true Coo
On Bonded knees, on Krin's cod.
To-day No greensr land We know
Moro cursed or trod BY bsser foe,
Than that dear island DER the sea,
Which must aud win one day DO Tree.
The misery OF countless years,
The broken heart. the widows tears,
Call loud to heaven for redress,
And freedom nom such cursed distress.
From this proud land, 90 great and free
Goes TO oar friends far DER the sea
Kind words Of hope, to persevere
For Irelsnd's day, Of freedoms near
Stout hearts, and brave united stand
To battle for their native land.
And when that great day Of triumph comes,
For Irishman TO right their wrongs;
Then will this land Of freedom send
Brave hearts with England to contend,
And then q second Pontenoy
Will give poor ireland hope and Joy.
Break from her limbs the cruel chain
That freedom she may breathe again.

KAUFMAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

We have received the Kaufman Stan
of the lst instant, containing full rev
port of the proceedings of the county
convention held OH the Saturday pre-
vous, which proceedings close with
the adoption of resolution that the
report of the meeting be published in
the Star, the Terrell Press and THE
DALLAS HERALD. The general result
of that meeting was made known to
our readers more than week ago, and
we hardly think they would be inter,
ested in reading the details at this late
day. A series of resolutions was adopt
ed ratifying the platform of the Aus
tin convention, endorsing Hon. j. W.
ThrockmOrton and instructing the del
egates to Fort Worth to cast the vote Of
the county as unit in his favor; ia
voring the call of q constitutional
convention at the earliest prac
ticable day; expressing the sentiments
of the democrats of Kaufman as oppos'
ed to the enforcement of thetwo-thirds
rule in nominating conventions anC
in favor of the adoption Of the MAORI
ty rule, and binding the democracy o.
Kaufman to abide the result of the
Mort Worth convention.
! Captain II. p. league offered the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution
Whereas, The necessity for consti.
tutional convention was enunciated IN
the platform adopted by the democra'
cy of Texas, lately assembled ut Aus
tin; and,
Whereas, All of our public officers
recently elected, were pledged thereto
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the members of the
fourteenth legislature, who voted
against a call for constitutional con-
vention, and the concurrence OF GOV
ernor Coke in their action, injured the
cause of democracy in this state ano
gave to our enemies ground to accuse
us of faithlessness, subterfuge and want
of trust.
A spirited discussion ensued on the
motion to adopt these resolutions as
the sense of the convention, which was
participated in by Messrs. II. p. league
and r.. F. Slaughter, in favor of the
proposition, and by Mr.. George d.
Manion and Hon. w. M. Lindsey, in
opposition thereto. The preamble and
resolutions were carried by more than
two-thirds vote.
Judge w. ID. Irvine was unanimous
ly elected chairman of the democratic
executive committee of the county in
place of Hon. w. NJ. Lindsey, whose
time had expired by limitation.

Do You Suspect Anybody?

"Our townsman, Captain Cardwell,

the elder Breckinridges, now passed

never had any business, hut who re-

old gentleman, 10y the way, was given
to making queer and sometimes start

did NOT open his office, and the old gem

JUDGE CULLEN.

The country around the mouth Of the

About three months ago musician
named Frank Lamadrid died of heart
disease, as the attendant physicians re-
port, after being confined five days to
his bed. A few days before taking
sick he applied for membership in
Boone lodge, Knights Pythias. His Pc
tition was accepted, aud he took the
first degree. The following meeting
night Lamadrid was admitted into full
fellowship, and became knight.
After his Initiation he was called on
to play with his band At frolic on
Jefferson street, and while playing his
instrument some time after midnight,
he became suddenly i'll, and showed
symptoms of fainting and asphyNia.
Before daylight some of his friends
took him home and cared for him.
During his illness he was attended by
Drs. w. C. Cox and c. w. Kelley and
a regular detail of his brethren from
the order. He died five days after he
was taken sick.
His widow, however, has differed
from the opinion of the physicians as
to the cause of his death, and yester-
day filed suit for damages for the sum
of $4,000

Another Market for Dallas.
o the Editor of the Dallas Herald:

Railway lines converging ut Men,
phis from the east find that the trade
of Texas is monopolized 10y the road
from Texarkana to st. Louis. There
fore, these Memphis roads undertake
the construction of an independent
road from jefferson and Shreveport to
Camden, Pine Bluff and DeNall'9 Bnif,
on the Little Rock and Memphis road.
The advantage gained 10y Texas con-
sists in direct access to Memphis-the
best cotton market in the valley Of tnc
Mississippi--in securing II shorter route
by two hundred and fortY-one miles to
the Mississippi, and II shorter route by
one hundred and tifty-two miles to
New York, over roads passing through
Chattanooga, Knoxville, Lynchburg,
Washington City and Baltimore.
Travellers have learned the advan-
tages of this line of travel, but freights
are transferred with difficulty at Little
Rock from the st. Louis to the Mem
phis road, and since the owners Of
roads converging at Memphis from the
east cannot afford to lose the trade of
Texas, they have caused the route from
De Wallis bluff to Camden and Jefferson
to be surveyed. The proposed road,
engineers say, will not cost more than
twenty thousand dollars per mile, and
penetrates the richest cotton growing
districts of Arkansas. Our interests
and fortunes are inseparably linked
with those ef the southern states, and If
cities may be built and great routes of
travel and commerce perfected within
their confines it is infinitely to our adj
vantage, as in consonance with our
feelings and prejudices.
Dallas, if this road be built, gains
another competing market in which
to sell cotton and cattle and buy gro
ceries and supplies, and surely the peo--
pie of Dallas will render at least that
assistance involved in giving deserved
preference to the Memphis route Of
travel and, whenever possible, prefer
ring ii as the route for freights.

nomination, and il merit is taken into

The next representative in congress for
his district. 1t would be superfiuous
TOR us to say anything in his favor.
His history is part of the history of
the Lone Star State. For her honor
he has periled his life and shed his
blood. On his body be bears honora-
ble wounds, received while battling in
her behalf. From San Jacinto to the
close of the late war, he has followed
the fortunes and battled for the honor
of Texas. Whenever she needed men
to do and dare for her, he has been
found i'm the front ranks of her defend
eors. If gallantry and heroism is to be
rewarded, then he should receive the
nomination. While General Lane is
no orator, he is an experienced busi-
ness man, and would make most USE
fnl and able representative. He is the
soul of honor, and no act of his would
ever tarnish the fair fame of our glori-
ous state. In his hands the interests
of the the district would be earnestly
attended to, and in his selection we
would secure an honest, faithful rep
resentative.-[ Iron Age.

ment of troops on the frontier: Gene
raj Mackenzie arrived here last night,
and leaves tonight for Fort Clark. He
is supposed to be here for the purpose
of consulting with General Augur in
reference to the campaign against the
Indians. General Mackenzie will
start from Fort ConchO with fifteen
companies of cavalry, all the available
force on the frontier. En- route he
will be joined by more troops from
Fort Griffin. A second column under
command of Lieutenant Colonel Da-
wilson will march on the Indians from
Fort Sill, while troops from New Mex
leo will cut Off their escape in that di-
rection. 1T will be twenty days yet
before the troops can be started from
Concho, as some of the companies are
scouting on the Pecos. If the Quakers
are not permitted to interfere the In
dian question will be settled in short

FORT WORTH CONVENTION.

The special correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph, who was in at
tendance on the Fort Worth conven-i
Mon, writes to that paper the following
lhccount of how he was impressed by
; 1all he saw and heard at that place:
\ Fort WORTH, July 80, 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,
as it looks politically. Throckmorton
is our grand central figure, and he
stands out boldly in the foreground.
Around him cluster closely the strong
men of the section with flrm-set and
determined faces. They have been
tricked and cheatedlong enough. They
haye got ThrOckmorton at last, and
they mean to keep him. They mean
to right the wrongs of 1857, when Sheri-
dan, with the bayonets of military rule
at his back, wrote: 81. w. Throck-
morton, standing in the way of recon-
struction. is hereby removed from the
office of governor of Texas" They
mean to rebuke 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 a ghost OF show for any other
man, and the action of the convention
an hour from now will send him to
congress by an almost unanimous vote
of the people of this district.
| 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 mcdiocrity-s so
wrapt up in man as theirs is in
rhr0ck 1t is very natural that
they should he devoted to him; but the
prevalent impression that he has been
the victim of political schemers ana
county wire-pullers, has made them
indignant, and they are brought closer
to him in consequence.
Throck kmorton is not here. There is
nothing superficial to feed the flame.
He is kept at home by 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 for the senate last
winter, has been decided and blunt. The
WaXahachie senator was candidate
himself, but his own county turned its
back upon him, and comes up with
delegation instructed for Thr0ckmor-
ton. Tarrant county, whose represen-
tatives 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 disappfobation by
sending delegations here instructed
solidly for him. The rebuke is en-
phatic, and the sentiment of this peo-
ple cannot be misconstrued. From
Decatur in the west, to Sherman in
the east--a magnificent stretch of
country setteled up by as intelligent
and broad-minded people as there is
in TeXas--a voice as of one man has
come up here for Throclkmorton, and
l heard it in the caucus last night, and
the whole state will hear it in the con-
ventlon to-day
