WHILE we are generally not dispos-

fellowman, we can not refrain from
confessing that the announcement OF
the suspension of Henry Clews & Co.,
of New York, is not the cause of any
sadness with us. This concern was
intimately associated with Bullock,
the bayonet governor of Georgia, In
manipulating the fraudulent bonds of
that state, and have resorted to every
device, since their associate became q
fugitive, to get the legislature Of that
state to recognize the bonds in their
possession as part of the just indcbt-
ness of the state. All their efforts
thus far have proved futile. We trust
that they, and all other parties who
backed up the bayonet governments of
the south with their money, may whis.
tie till doomsday, and whistle in vain,
for the money they SO iniquitously in

HOUSTON, Texas, october5 6, 1874.
u Houston is overspread with gloom
to-day, owing to the death of Judge
Peter w. Gray on Saturday last. He
was one of the oldest citizens of the
place, having settled here in 1888,
when he was but eighteen years Of
age. He was an honored citizen, hon.
ored alike for his public worth and his
private virtues. He was always fore
most in good works, and tools the lead
in all things that tended to the inn
provement and benefit of Houston, and
the material advantage of the state.
He was u great man in intellect, in
purposes and in achievements. He
was an untiring student, and as law
yer was learned and profound. lie
graced both the district and supreme
benches as a judge, just, upright, and
possessed of superior attainments.
Prior to the war he represented his
county in the Legislature, making a
wise and efficient law maker. During
the war he was representative in the
confederate states congress for one
session, and afterwards confederate
states sub-treasurer for the trans Mis-
sissippi department with his office at
Marshall, which honorable aud re-
sponsiblc position he filled to the close
of the war, with honor and credit to
himself and to his country. He had
been suffering long while with ca
tarrh, which finally developed into
tubucular consumption last august,
resulting in. his death on Saturday
evening, the Sd instant. While Judge
Gray was known to be in critical
condition, and was not expected to re-
cover from his disease, yet his death
was quite sudden, he being as well as
he usually was up TO within five min
