them beautifully, 1 visited this city ON
the fifth at half-past six o'clock in the
evening, but, after the adjournment Of
the legislature, much to my regret. l
called on the governor Hon. Richard
Coke) this morning, handed him Gov
ernOr Browns letter, and was received
very cordially by him. He Is pleasant
gentleman, an apt scholar, and true
Democrat. He gave me much encOur-
agement, and had reached him before
adjournment would Ieve accomplished
my mission. The secretary of the gov
ernOr is young man-De Shields Of
Shelby county-who wears the honors
well. This Is the most beautiful city in
the interior of Texas, and has bright
future before 1t. The settlement of the
bond question of the international rail-
way, in favor OF the road, will cause
them to begin work at once, and they
will build to this place during the
present year. It Is the place
to start the publication Of true,
incorporating Democratic papeT-the
finest opening in the State, The place for
yOu. / have aeUer passed through q
country where the land Is capable Of
producing so much by proper cultivation,
as Is this part of Texas, nor where re-
liable labor is wanted more. There are
plenty of lawyers, doctors, sports and
lOafers; the State wants titlers of the SOL
men to follow the plow and use the hoe
producers, not consumers. This is the
country for the industrious farmers Of
Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas to
come to and make an Independence, the
country for the industrious poor young
men to make competence for them
selves. have met and am travelling
with Mr.. w. @. Galloway formerly
from Georgia and Alabama), who re-
sides in this State. He has been OF much
service to me, showing me many
courtesies, and introducing me to many
of his numerous acquaintances and
friends. / omitted to state that twenty
of the lower house are Tennesseans.
Pretty good, don't you think 80? No
greater field fer advancement (by merit) !,
than the State of Texas. The Memphis

friends in the State, and when it is pro-
perly represented by tickets with con-
Meeting roads to the east and southeast,
will do a large share of the passenger
business to and from Texas.

Resolutions Introduced In the General
Conference or the Southern Church
Yesterday.
COncillatOty Speeches by Leading Min
lsters and LaImen-A Thoroughly
Christian Spirit Developed.

LOUISVILLE, May lS.-After the
transaction of some unimportsnt busi-
ness today in the general conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, the fol-
lowing resolutions, offered by Judge
Jackson, of Georgia, and Gov. Trusten
Polk, of Missouri, were then read:
ResotUed, That the message of love
and hrotherly kindness from the Metho-
dist Episcopal church has been cordially
received. and has been referred to COM
mittee of nine who in due time will for
mally and fraternally reply thereto.
ResOlUed, That we regret that the dis
tinguished messengers sent by that
church cannot remain to await the pre-
sentation and reception of that report;
but understanding that they leave us
to-day, we are unwilling that they
should return home without carrying
with them knowledge of our apprecia-
ton of their courteous and frRternal
bearing among US, and our wishes and
prayers for their future happiness and
prosperity.
F. W. Earnest suggested the word
'ichristian" instead of "courteOus."
Judge Jackson accepted the word
" christian" but retained courteous"
also.
DIR. Cranberry said that he highly ap-
proved of the spirit of the resolution,
but objected to the form. 1t should
read, "WhereAs, etc. :" awe therefore
give, etc."
Judge Jackson-I am utterly indiffer-
ent as to language. l desire simply to
show to the world that we let nobody be
above Us in courtesy and fraternal love,
and wish to express to the whole chris
tian brotherhood, from whom these
brethren are sent, and to all who love
our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, that
we respect their greetings as children Of
him whom we are told is love. / care
not in what language it is couched;
wish only that these brethren, who have
created IN one a love for all whom
Jesus loves, to bear home with them my
appreciation of them and of all men
who love our LOra Jesus Christ; that
we are one in heart, one in sympathy,
and one in brotherhood, if not in organ
ism and union.

Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Representa-
tive David B. Mellish, of New York,
has not been removed to the insane asy-
lum as reported, but is at home with his
family, who think they can take good
care OF him under good medical advice.
The Chronicle of this morning emits
its sensational and incoherent adver-
tisement of his speeches on the currency.
The committee on banking and cur
rency to-day examined w. Hudson, of
Connecticut, who testified that in 1869,
or previously, he had been furnishing
fibre-paper to the government. When
Boutwell, was appointed secretary,
knowing that the secretary would have
many office-seekers about him, he did
not call on the secretary until about two
months after the secretary entered on
duty. He told him he was sorry he did
not call sooner as he had made arrange
ments with Wilcox, who is now fur
nishing paper. Hudson further testified
that he offered to supply paper for forty
five cents per pound. this rate about
one-half the amount of what was paid
to other parties would have been saved
the first fiscal year of Boutwell's ad-
ministration. The secretary told him
Wilcox had gone to great expense in
starting his mills, and he therefore
thought he ought to have the work long
enough to compensate him for the out
lay, but as soon as Wilcox should thus
be compensated the secretary would in
vite competition. Witness said he
would now furnish fibre-paper at that
rate. The treasury department now
pays seventy-ive cents per pound.

. The fourth annual convention of the
American labor reforEc league opened
its session in New York last Monday.
Among the resolutions passed are the
following: That since labor is a source
of wealth and creates all values equita-
bly,, veritable property holders, who
have notify creative service earned what
they possess, or have received il as free
gift from the rightful owners are thieves,
and the profit in the form of interest,
rent or dividend is only another name
for plunder; that the financial issue is not
contraction or expansion but strug.
gle between usury and its victims. The
old union savings cry of slave-traders in
Charleston and New Orleans reappear-
ing in public faith, and tbs anxiety Of
New York and Boston Doney-lenders
seeking perpetual power to fleece the
west and south through currency mo-
nopoly; that while any amount of green
backs on delusive basis Of national
wealth would only increase the existing
insolvency, and furnish no relief, it is
natural and right of industrial and vol
untary associations, by stating market
able values against the issues OF cur
rency, to provide their own money at
cost.

The Chicago (nL) Inter Ocean,
on commenting upon the influence of
the newspaper press in moulding and
directing public sentimentin connection
with the recent financial disturbance,
says: "a psnic-stricken banker or
broker in the street may communicate
his fright to ten, twenty, or a hundred
men; but panicky newspaper OF wide
circulation carries dismay TO thousands.
Editors generally bestow immense care
upon their editorial columns, which are
perhaps never read, TO the neglect Of the
news, which is always read. The opin.
ions Of an editor are sometimes Of great
value, no doubt, but the news is ALWAYS
Of consequences. If the argument OF the
editorial is specious and true, the reader
may detect its falsity; but II the dis
patches are false, the evil is accom-
plished before the truth is made known.
After all, the mosI important function of
Journalism is to convey TO the reader
authentic news. The humdrum char.
acter Of this fact may be humiIiating TO
the pride and vani of few 'independ-
ent' journalists who propose to move all
mankind, as Napoleon moved kings
and kingdoms; still it is a fact, never
theless."
