The Next House of Representatives,

The New York Herald, Of the 10th
instant. concludes from the recent
elections in the west that the demo-
cratic chances are at least even for Sc
curing a majority in the next federal
house of representatives, which degree
of success would fOretOken revolu-
ton in the politics of the country. 1t
proceeds thus to show the effect of
such change:
In the next place, clear democratic
majority in the next house would nave
an important effect on fedora! lrSIsla-
ton. It would prevent the passage oi
any bill in which the ropubilcahs
might have u party interest No mat
ter what President Grant might rec
ommcud, or the republican selatc
might pass, the democrats would hold
n complete check by their control OF
the house.
The moral effect Of democratic as
ceudeucy i'm one branch of congress
would be greater than the mere au-
vantage OF blocking republican legis'a-
tiop. IL would cause the country to

TuE first national convention Of
students held in the south since the

SHREVEPORT is the point about
which more interest centers now than
any other place. The reign of terror
inaoguroted there by the infamous Mer-
rill may be the means of bringing the
disturbed condition of affairs to deli
mite conclusion of some sort. The ar
rest of the leading citizens of that city
is in direct violation Of the opinion
delivered by Justice Bradley, at New
Orleans, in the case Of the Grant par
ish prisoners. If his construction OF
the enforcement act is correct, the pro-
ceedings of Merrill are arbitrary, OPP
pressive and illegal. Justice Bradley's
opinion ought, by law, to govern all
federal officers in Louisiana, both mili-
taiy and civil, till it is overruled by the
supreme court of the United States.
But it is folly to talk about laws or
judicial opinions in these corrupt
times on which we have fallen. The
attorney general of the United States,
the same man who was convicted be-
fore the United States senate of steal
ing a pleasure carriage for his wife
has officially announced that on
fair vote Louisiana would give twenty
thousand majority to the republican
ticket. Lest he should also he con
victed of lying il is necessary that th'
white people should be intimidateC
from voting. This Is at the bottom o
the present iniguitous warfare upoi
the people of that state. In order thA
there may be full understanding o
the merits of the case We give place t.

THE New York Herald, ever on the
lookout for news, has found out the
opinions of various public men in re-
ation to third term. The following
extract contains the views of Texan
senators and representatives.:
Flanagan, senator, Texas, republic
can. A third term is a moral impossi-
bility. He would not permit himself
face to face with the emergency.
Hamilton, senator, Texas, republl-
can. Has never heard any reason in
favor of II third term nominee. Thinks
there is Il moral certainty that Grant
will never be heard from in the next
nominating convention, and is sure he
will not have to withhold his support
from the next party nominee.
Mills, Roger O., democrat. A third
term would be revolutionary, and God
knows we have had enough trouble in
the south, without fearing an imagi-
nary Caesar.
Willie, Asa H., democrat, is opposed
to third term under all Circumstan-
ces.
Herndon, William s., democrat.
There is nothing to lead any one to be-
,ieve that third term is either posi-
bic or probable. 1t is against all the
traditions of the past.
Mclean, William p, democrat.
Texas democrats and republicans are
opposed to u third term.
Hancock, John, democrat. The de-
mocracy of Texas is against third
term for any man, and if Washington
were to come among us like another
Lazarus he would not get the cOmpli-
ment of "A nomination.

THE correspondent Of the Galveston

The event of to-day was the display
of horsemanship. The most graceful
equestrienne was adjudged Miss Mary
Turner second. Miss Mollie Sudduth.
Miss Ewing Browning, daughter of the
gallant Major browning, who fell at
Yellow Bayou, was one Of the contest-
ants, but mounted upon such lubber-
~ nag that it must have been equally
trying to her temper and horseman-
ship. Every body thought and said she
had no fair chance, but none could
gainsay the superb display of grace,
skill and beauty on the part of the
Misses Turner and Sudduth.

1t makes a wonderful difference
in the "eye Of the law" with some
people, whether you preach temper
anee in any of the parks or public
places in cities now adays, OF whether
you let hundreds of heads of cattle, in
your most public streets, be sold by
dozen noisy anetioneers. 1t is crimi-
nally offensive to some fastidiOus per
sons to deliver a temperance address
anywhere outside Of church, bnt per
fectly in accordance with their ideas
oS good order and propriety for pOlit-
zeal aspirants to harrangue a crowd
from q rOstrum, by night or day, on
any Of the public streets or places.

by these remarks as opposed TO any
OF these demenstrations-no of them
disturb us-we only refer to this mat
ter to show the inconsistency Of men
in relation to some Thugs.

all stiff and cold, The mother lay on
the hearth of the miserable log hut in
whic h they lived, and one of the girls
lay about the middle of the floor and
the other in the bed, all with their
heads pounded to a jelly, as if done
by an ak OF hoe Or some other heavy
instrument.
A baby was found in the house also
slightly injured. Another little three
year old boy of the same family was
found wandering in the woods just
above the house. A man named VIM.
