THERE is one feature of Dallas that
we observe with great pleasure, and
hope il may ever be SO. We refer
to the uniform good feeling and alb
sence of jealousy between the older cit
liens and and the new. 1t sometimes
unfortunately, and certainly unwisely,
happens, where the increase of popula-
ton is so rapid, that a sort of discord
arises between such classes of citizens.
1t is, however, foolish and altogether
improbable. But we never saw a
community, so rapidly changing, SO
free from this weakness, as our own at
this time. 1t is well, and is but the har-
binger of concord and mutual good
will socially as well as in enterprises
demanding concert OF action. III has
always been characteristic of the peo-
pie of this state to welcome new citi-
zens, and the feeling should be cher
ished. Every man added to our popula-
ton in any legitimate ayocation
whether labore;, ,nechanic, merchant,
artisan, farmeror What not, is all acles-
sion to be desired. come from whence

WE see in an exchange paper, copiet
from anorthern journal, an apparently
candid criticism on General Joseph e
Johnson's history of his operations in
the late war between the states, a book
lately published. The differences be
tween General Johnson and EXPIRES
ident Davis appear to have been treated
ut length in the work. The writer coil
cludes that the general will suffer in
reputation as a military man by his
own statements, while President Davis
will he raised rather than lowered in
public estimation. He accords General
johnson full credit for candor in his
statements, but draws conclusions I'M
favorable to his military genius, and
thinks his fame would haverested on a
firmer foundation had the booknot been
written. We have not seen the work,
and this is the only review of it we
have met with.
As to questions affecting President
Davis, we have always felt it TO be just
10 withhold decided opinions until he
shall have been heard, either directly
or through an authorized chronicler.
From prudential motives, affecting the
interests of the south, he has main
taiued dignified silence ever since the
war, and thereby proved the high char
acter of his patriotism and self-depial.

The experiments being made in this
part of Texas to thoroughly test the
utility Of growing clover, timothy, blue
grass and, perhaps, other grasses, are
of great moInentto the future develop
ment of the country. SO far as tested
each one has succeeded well. In Fan
hin county one gentleman has had
blue glass in successful growth for
about three years. 1t is now growing
finely in several places in ana near
Dallas. That it will succeed well in
woodland pastures, we havcno doubt,
and after acclimatvd seed can be Oh
tanned, it will probably do equally well
on prairie lands. We hear of several
gratifying trials of clover and timothy,
J and have hope Of their adaptation to
our soil and climate. With such
grasses and hay crops, the farmers will
derive great advantages, and with
much less labor win largely augment
their incomes through breeding finer
stock, and, near towns, ny the value oi
hay. ''
Then, too, butter and caeese VIII
come to the front rs articles of COM
merce. AS natural pastures are re-
duced to cultivation, it becomes daily
more important to increase the grazing
facilities of the remainder, including
hay crops for winter feed. The grasses
named, not requiring annual planting
and yielding so beautifully, will be
vast relief to farm labor, and bring IL
returns which will rapidly add to the
: comfort and independence of the agri
cultural classes.
We earnestly invite general attcn
ton to the subject, and trust that mex
fall and winter large quantities of seet
may be planted throughout the coun
try. Our grange brethren, especially
we hope to see aroused on this as wei
as other great questions affecting 81
largely the great interest which under
lies and upholds all other pursuits.

WE are not sufficiently advised to
criticise the fourteenth Legislature, and
shall not do so till we can know the
general result OF its labors; but we fear
its achievements will, in several as
poets, bring disappointment to the peo-
pie. That it has fallen far short of
public expectation, in some particu-
lars, is beyond question. When the
time comes. we shall review fairly, but
with no blind Partially, BECAUSE the
great majority of each house is demo-
cratic. Devoted as we are to democ-
racy, there is o higher devotion to
which we profess allegiance-public
integrity and public liberty. Office
seeking is one of the great banes of the
day and has made its impress, in some
instances, OH this Legislature. IT re-
quires Roman virtue towithstand such
appeals, but that is the precise virtue
forwhich the people should strive in
their public functionarles. Pledges to
the people while candidates must be

ARKANSAS.

The condition of affairs in Arkansas
is another shame upon the principle of
American liberty--anotller ulcer fast
ened upon the country by the late
war. The public mind should be eau
tious in taking sides. Both contestants
for the gllbernatorial chair belong to
the party that has oppressed and plum
dered the south in the hour of her
helplessness, Baxter being n recreant
son of the south and Brooks sort OF
repentant carpethagger. 1T is said
Brooks was fairly elected, but Baxter
fraudulent!y counted in. Each is now
irving to seek reconciliation with the
great body of the white people, who
are, of course, democrats.
The democrats, long trodden down
and almost hopeless, are apathetic and
divided as to choice of evils, not
knowing whether to prefer tie
cookie burr or the jimson weed,
both being offensive. But we are glad
the democrats are not responsible for
either the present disgraceful condition
Of affairs or the results to flow from it.
1t is best that the people of the north,
whose returning sense of justice has
been greatly quickened in the last two
years by the emboldened outrages ON
the south, should have this opportunity
of further light untainted with their
preformedprejudices againstthedem
racy OF the south. AS to choice, we
have hone between the two Arkan-
sas contestants. We simply desire
the north to have the full benefit of
this additional illustration ofthe cl'ss
of men whom they 1.-THE north have
enabled torun riot over the prostrate
south for nine years. Let them put
themselves in our steads and take to
their own bosoms the simple ques-
ton, chow would zoe like it?'

THE bill granting twelve months
more time to all live railroads in the
state has become law. This allows
the Pacific road till July, 1879, in which
to reach Fort Worth, and to the same
company till January, 1876, in which
to build its branch line from sherman
to Fort Worth. No one need complain,
for the simple reason that if the ex-
tension had not been granted, it had
become physical imppssibility for the
company to comply with previous re-
quirements, and forfeiture, for which
they could not be blamed, would have
been the result. We hope how soon
they may be in q condition to press
forward the work, regardless of time.
The extension of the road into and
through our western frontier would be
inestimable in its blessings to the
country, and cause waste lands now
roamed over by wild Indians to bios
som as the rose.
