Souer looked up from the arena

smiled complacently from his position

other and darker shadows, which
sesmed to say, "Only wait until we
hear from Pluch, and then look out,

WACO. TUESDAY JAN. 81.
THE TEXAS COTTON, SPINNING AND
b. MANUFACTURING COMPANY,
OF WACO.

This Company was organized under
its charter granted May IL, 1871, on
Wednesday,, the 2lst instant, in the
city OF Galveston. The capital stock
allowed by the charter is two mil
lions dollars, with permission to COM
mence work on fifty thousand dollars
paid up stock. The Board of Direc-
tors chosen at the late organization
are to resign In favor of a board to
be elected by the citizens of Waco
subscribing to the capital stock Of the
Company. The charter referred to,
under which the Company propose
to work, is very broad, comprehen-
sive and liberal, and will fully pro-
tect the interest Of all who take stock
in it. CAN TEE CITY OF WACO RAISE

GEN. GRANT AND THE TEXAS
e. GEST1ON.

The position taken by Gen. Grant,
on the late decision affecting the le-
gality Of the recent election in this
State, has'flled the mind of the ultra
wing Of the Republican party with
intense disgust. 1t was plain and
easy sailing for them as long as their
advice was followed implicitly by
the party in whose hands the desti-
pies.of, not only our own State, but
the nations were placed and as soon
as just and .air councils were enter
tained listened to, and acted upon,
their difficulties commenced. The
late iniquitous decision, it seems, was
the feather wanting to break the
back of public patience, even the
stern soldier who has grimly watched
the downward course of the South
since reconstruction commenced, with
cut even sign Of pity, has had
enough, and calls out in tones not to
be mistaken by either friend or foe,
"hold." In Gods name have we not
had enough? They have gathered
the substance of the people. They
have lorded it over them in regal
style. They have converted many
sections OF the South into mere negro
provices, and have driven the richtiul
owners of the soil into an exile az
complete and perfect as though an
ocean rolled between them and the
loved homes OF their youth. The
feelings OF hate that ranked in
the breast of the soldier, it seems, has
at last given way, and softer and
more christian councils rule the hour,
not so however, with the vultures
and jackals who followed in the foot
steps Of war, to prey upon the car
casses of the slain.
Their thirst for gold and power is
as Keen and unsatiated to-day as it was
the hour the white flag of submission
was raised above the shattered and
decimated legions of the Confederacy.
The habits of oppression and robbery
have become chrome. The heroic
remedy applied by doctor" Grant
will Kill many, but will also cure
many. We are glad for his own
sake, and doubly SO for the sake of the
cause Of human right and liberty
that he has had the nerve to apply
the only remedy that could meet ra.
pine, robbery and tyranny, in the
Southern States, with any hope of a
successful issue.
Now, let it be the study of Texas
to show to General Grant, the Re-
publican party, and the world, that
the Democracy Of the State are eqsal
to the task Of working out splendid
destiny for our glorious young CONS
monwealth.
