An Important Texas Movement.
HoUsToN, Texas,

HoUsToN, Texas,
October II, 1874
Editors BulIetin,-The planters of
Texas are tired ofnegrO labor, which as
general thing, is totally unreliable.
They have been trying to get along with
it ever since the war aud at last, having
despaIrCd Of success, they are abou;
making a combined effort to bring into
the State class of white labor which is
both skilled and can be relied on. Aid.
ed by the liberality of the international
and great Northern Rail Road the Teo-
pie along the line of the five hundred
miles Of its road have undertaken an en-
terprise which will no doubt result in
bringing ten thousands Of good laborers
and tenants by time to commence puts
ting Ia the crop, in January. The differ
eDt counties along the line have each apN
pointed a delegate to go out into the
southeastern States and make contracts
with the people 10 come here, supplying
them with advance money when neces-
saTy. These delegates will leave togethS
er on an Excursion train which starts
on the 18th of Nov ember and will 20 as
far as Atlanta, Georgia. Remaining there
two weeks it will give the delegates
time to scatter out through the States
of Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia and North aud South Carolina
and send people who are willing to come.
Through the exertiOns of the Interna>
tional and Great Northern Railroad the
fare for these incoming people has been
reduced to ! cents per mile, so that il
will cost the emigrant but little money
20 get into the heart of the richest cot
ton growing section of Texas, besides
having 4 liberal advance of money aud
good and we'll specified terms from the
LAND owner here.
About fifty delegates xill go and they
will visit all the principal places in the
States mentioned. Those wishing TO
come to new gro wing and beautifully
producing country can hare no bet
ter opportunity than this So watch
out for the Texas delegates.
Yours &c, X. Y.

CGmpbsIlsviIls KY. Correspondence Of the Lebanon
(Ky) Standard.

We have just learned that the Hon
W. A Hoskins, now a resident of Chat
tanooga, has been most fortunate in
his Rpeculations in mineral lands in the
vicinity of Chattanooga. For a few
thousand dollars he purchased a tract
containing rich beds of iron ore, which
he has sold to a company for 100000.
The same company desired an adjoin-
ing tract which Mr.. HOskips purchased
for S., 1000, and turned it over for $780,
600 1t was done in day, thus making
in one day $4,000 Since then he pur>
chased for $25, 000a bit of land on the
side of Lookout Mountain, thirty miles
long by one mile wide, containing in
exhautible beds of the finest ore in the
world. For this tract an English CONS
pany has offered him one million of dol
lars, which was refused 1t is held at
a million and a quarter. In addition to
all this, Col. Hoskins is the owner Of
coal mines in Eastern Kentucky that
will yield him a large fortune 1t is
said that Col Hoskins made the dis
covery of these lands and their value
during the war, while at the head of
his regiment, duriAg the operations of
Sherman's army on its march to the sea.
We sincerely congratulate our old friend
on his good fortune.

WILL IT Pass 2-Ths general state.
ment that the Civil Rights bill will not
pass at the coming session of Congress
lacks authoritative or convincing proof
OF all the two-thirds majority in the
House, not one has signifed his inten-
ton to vote against it, and it seems pref.
ty certain that those who voted against
the bill because Grant intended to veto
it will be outnumbered largely by those
who would now vote for it because the
President, more the tool of carpetbag-
gers, would reconsider and favor its pas
sage. The only hope lies in the prom
ised Democratic complexion of the
coming session, backed by a strong pub
lie sentiment. This may smother the
infamy for the pressnt-JdckSoH Dis
patch
With the pressure that is now upon
members of the 43d Congress it is our
opinion that the Bill will be allowed to
go by default. In no other way can
they escape calumny.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1874-11-13
Just So.

The Cincinnati Times, a vigorous ad-
yocate of the civil rights bill last winter
and spring, and most incorporating,
bigoted and vindictive Republican organ,
has this to say of the present, past and
future of the negro as a political ele>
ment
Many colored voters, at the South, un-
doubtedly voted the Democratic ticket at
the late elections. A. solid Republi~
can phalanx, the negro vote can no
longer be relied on, under the persua>
sioBs or threats of Democratic employ
era, and against White League intimids-
tons On the other hand, in comforting
upon the freedmen full rights of citizens
ship, the Republican party of the nation
completed the work of their enfranchises
ment, and must now permit them to
work out their own destiny without fnrth-
er Congressional aid, and without exc
cutive interference, except to enforce
the laws already enated. As an element
of national politics, toe negro will not
hereafter occupy the front rank, much
less the cornerstone of a party organ
ization.
Just so Coming to your senses at
last.

Referring to the Library of the Uni
versity of the South, the Appeal of
last Sunday said
It viii be interesting TO Episcopslians
to know, as we learn on good authors
ty, that q wealthy gentleman of New
York has offered Bishop Quintsrd to
build for the University Of the South a
library in every respect the equivalent
of that of the college at Princeton, New
Jersey. The offer has been accepted,
and is only one of many that we hope
will flow in upon the indefatigable friend
Of the great enterprise, who, we may say
ca PEASANT, is not going to Europe.

United States Senate.

The Democratic gains that have been
made during the past year, 60 take effect
March 4, 1874 are Connecticut, Eaton
in place of Rockingham; Indiana, q
Democrat in place of Pratt; Kansas
Harvey Independently in place If Gro
zier; Texas, Maxey in place of Flanagan
Virginia, Withers in place of Lewis
West Virginia, Democrat in place of
Foreman, an opposition gain of 6 already.
TO these Tennessee, Florida, Pennsylva-
nie and Nevada will add l each, which
will make a total Democratic gain in
the Senate Of 10, and will fix the relative
standing of parties in that one time aus
gust bofy in the forty>fourth Congress,
Republicans, 80 Democrats and opposi>
sion combined So At present it stands
Republicans. 40; vacancy (LOuisianal,
/; Democrats and opposition, "a. A
change from 25 to Republican majori-
y will be a great improvement, and in
many instances, as has been suggested,
there are three independent Republican
lcorn, Of Mississippi; Rob-
ertson, Of South Carolina, and Ferry, of
Conn ectieut-who can be depended upon
to vote with the opposition, in which
cases the administration msjoritylwill be
reduced to nothing.
In the House of Representatives the
Democrats and opposition will have at
least so or go majority.

A sad wall from Holly Springs COMBS
to US through the columns of the RepOr'
ter of last Thursday. 1t is as follows
IF all the Iegions of horrid hell had
been turned loose upon the town they
could not have created greater uproar
than did the colored troops" Tuesday
night, after the result of the election
was announced. They yelled, they roar
ed, they shouted, they fred pistols; all
this did the "colored troops" do over the
election of tkeir ticket. We have a white
majority in Holly Springs of more than
one hundred, yet our people have been
ruled by the rod of Radicalism till they
have lost the spirit of liberty, and now
we behold them bending their necks to
the yoke they have no longer the heart
to resist What q commentary
No wonder We see movers passing
through our town on their way from
unfortunate Mississippi to the favored
grounds Of Kentucky and Tennessee.

Upton County-A Seathelng Re
Buke

The Upton Record of last week lashes
the white voters of that county for the
shabby way in which they acted on the
Sd. Not more than half of them went to
the polls, and the result, as far as Sip
ton is concerned, is pronounced shame
TO the county. Emerson Etheridge is
charged with being the head and front
of all this decentralization and the Record
says that he is political hybrsd and the
convert Of Barbour Lewis.

Looking over our exchanges the other
day we came across the following &C.
count of a touching incident in the life
of the Queen of England; and give it a
place in our columns because it carries
with it sense ofpleasure which no words
can express
A gentleman relates that many years
ago he was on visit to the Isle of Man,
and during his walks be etrayed into the
quiet ehurch>yard, where repOse the
bodies Of many faithful and humble
Christians. Near grave in the corner
Of the churchyard he noticed a lady
with little girl (fhc latter about twelve
years of age, ITO whom she was relating
the stOry of "the Dairyman's Daughter"
whose remains lay bensath To cir feet.
As the lady proceeded with the narra-
tive he observed the little girl lift up heI
eyes filed with tears, and heard her say
that she would try and be as good as
the dairyman's daughter had been. After
planting a beautiful lilly on the grave,
they walked slowly away. The gentle~
man, unpon making inquiry, found that
the lady was the Duchess of Kent, and
the little girl her daughter. The latter
is now Queen of England.
