PRESIDENT GRANT AND JEPRERsON
DAVIS.


The portrait Of Jeferson DAVIS has been
assigned It's proper place in the War Office
in Washington. We like this. There is
stronger practical evidence IN this seem
ingly trihing incident that hates engen-
dered by strife are forgotten than In the
sloppiest orations ever driveIed out in Fed
eral or Confederate graveysrds. When Mr..
DaYis's worth, as q man, is conceded by the
foremost men in the country, it is shown
that the people Of the North have forgotten
how to hate and we are assured that legis-
lation, like that which chucked Sambo INTO
ballot boxes, viii be slowly but surely re-
formed. Mr., Davis, in social life, never
recurs to wrongs he has endured. he
seems to have forgotten absolutely every.
incident Of harshness that should make his
prison life memorable. he has apparently
dismissed utterly, all unpleasant memos
ries and no one Tencountering Z HIM
on the street or at the fieside would
dream that he had been the central figure
in the most fearful Revolutionary drama of
modern times. BE leads a life of quiet
study, and is only earnest, outside his Ii
brary, in promoting ends of the London
society of the valley of the Mississippi, de-
signed to open direct trade between the
valley of the Mississippi and the Old World.
He is eminently social in tastes and habits,
and is the most fascinating colloquist per-
haps that lives. He has travelled and en-
joyed every possible advantage that wealth,
refinement, cultured taste and high social
position could give. In Scotland, among
the old nobility, he was more familiar with
local history, we are told, than were his de-
lighted hosts. He has read everything,
and forgotten nothing. In manner he
is singularly graceful, and his face
has lost that cold, hard, immobile,
expressionless character, worn habitually
when tempests shook and lghtnings flashed
about his capital on the James. Whatever
the fact, no one who now encounters Mr..
Davis would ever dream that he dreams of
any further share in the guidance of the
affairs of nations. He is rejuvenated-ever
smiling, ever ready to talk and amuse and
delight, by exhibiting his wonderful stores
of wit and wisdom to those who would de-
rive solid advantage or amusement from
lessons he inculcates. If Mr. Jefferson.
Davis be not one of the uncrowned kings,
content to rest and abide by the fat of his
tory and truth, he is the most consummate
actor that lives. However generously, then,
Federalism, as embodied in Grants
cabinet, deal with Confederation, as
personated by Jefferson Davis, there is no
danger that it will blunder. Mr.. Davis, in
all the forms and external acts of every day
life, is at this hour, the proper representa-
tive of the true people of the South, and it
is in view of this fact that Grants PROPOSE
ton to suspend ha6eas corpus becomes a
crime against every incident and develop
ment of Southern society, and against
Southern modes of thinking as against
peace, order and good government.

SENATOR RUSSELL.

The San Antonio Herald devotes its edi.
torial columns to the just laudatien of Mr..
Russell, his conduct in the Senate being in
strong contrast with that of Senator Ireland.
The war has now been inaugurated between
parties in Texas and becoming hourly more
and more clearly defined. The issue has
been joined. 1t was lost in the Senate.
There will be no steps backward and party
leaders who hoped to win Office and power
through turbulence to the basest passions
of penurious selfshness to which the honor
of Texas has been subordinated, will now
see whether Senator Russell and many like
him will be sacrificed. The Herald says:
"He represents the most western district
of the State, extending from Paso del Norte
to the Gulf of Mexico-a distance of nearly
thousand miles; territory equal to that
of an average sized State-without any
railroad communication with the interior
of the State, or with any portion of the
Union. he was looked to by his constit-
uents as the one who would advocate their
rights to a portion Of the States liberal aid
to give them railroad communication with
other portions of the State, and with the
great cattle markets of the East. He was
their mouthpiece IN the Senate of Texas
and he could not fail to use every reason
able endeavor to insure the construction of
the international road as far as possible
into his district, without subjecting him-
self to Just censure. Butwhen every effort
to secure bonds in aid of the road west of
San Antonio had failed, and the choice was
reduced to the three millions or nothing,
Ia did not hesitate to put -hins0lf os- -
cord on the side of West Texas, at once
giving assurance that there was no danger
of his abandoning the interest of his sec
ton Of the State to Join the opposition,
however urgent the requests Of the Western
hero CD of opposition to Western interests.
While some Western men in the Senate and
the House oppose the bill-oppose any
measure calculated to benefit and develop
the West-we have reason to be proud Of
one who stands up for his unaided district
and first and lsst and always for the West.

The Rio Grapde Democrat, commencing
Senator Russelps bill, which contemplates
the utilization of TA..~----;-slsI OUITT TISe
--i-l----:---:--:--a -uri~:--r-1--la-oe
that the valley of the Rio Grande could be
made the garden of the world by the adop-
ton of the measures proposed. Nature has
made resacqs in all directions, which only
require to be kept full of water to make
them valuable for both irrigation and navi-
cation. We are told by engineers that an
abundance of water from the Rio Grande
can easily be turned into these resacaS, which,
applied to irrigation, in short time, would
make this valley TEEN with untold wealth.
The increased value of property and the
consequent increased public and private rev.
enues, would soon reimburse the State for
any OUTLAY. Wehope Senator Russell's bill
insures the success of the proposed work.
There is no question of greater moment to
the State, saving the railroad interest, than
that of irrigation. Our dry seasons demand
measures of the kind, and, besides, when
once in operation along the Rio Grande es-
pecially, it would make an agricultural bar
rier through which all the horse and cattle
thieves of Christendom could not pass.
Many States and Territories are entirely
indebted to irrigation for their prosperous
condition. In Mexico, nearly all the
country lying between the Sierra Madre and
the Rio Grande depends upon irrigation for
r
their primeval modes of tilllng the soil, the
yield and return for the labor employed can
not be surpassed. What prosperous coun-
try the Rio Grande valley would become
were measures of irrigation perfected. We
have not time to point out the plan for such
work, but should any be required, can
refer, if need be, to Mexico. There, at
least, we can find an example worthy of i'm
itation.

THE CREATURES 10 CREATE AN
EMPIREll.

A narrow, selfish soul can't comprehend
either the greatness of Texas, the inesti-
mable, actual practical value of stainless
fame or incalculable benefcent results to
flow from railway 600 miles long. 1t is
too big thing for the little fellows. Not
comprehending, they are staggered by the
underlined magnitude of responsibility they
assume, and their very weakness impels
them to negation. A question of ten cents
they might master, but when their acts in
volve centuries and millions of money, and
the fortunes of myriads of people, and the
true greatness and only possible greatness
of Texas, the little fellows dwindle into
teRuitY, and shrivel into nothingness and
piteously shrink, appalled,, in the very
presence of events which must shape the
destiny of an empire or of miserable,
pitiable, degraded province of Grants en-
pire, through all coming time. Why do
people lift up such men as these to make
laws9 They are only enemies of their race,
OF their State, of its future greatness, and
thus Of its future freedom and renown. It
is proposed to expend three millions to
add fifty millions of wealth and a mil
lion people in ten or twenty years
to the resources of Texas, and, at
the very same instant, the Speaker
of the House opposes the proposition and at
the very same instant this same shrunken'
epitome of greatness opposes, even while
trembling in his shoes, lest Grant take his
head off, the subvention to the Interna-
tional road. How in the name of God and
country otherwise than by means of this
great railway can Texas be made so potent
that the pitlable scenes witnessed here,
when Arkansas was smltten with paralysis.

have self-respect or respect for their own
intelligence, for the fame and honor of Tex
as, if they would perfect local freedom and
that greatest possible political independ
ence consistent with the maintenance of the
Union, they will yet do justice to their own
intelligence and to Texas by assuring at
last the perfection of some scheme of legisla-
tion by which the integrity of the Demo
cratic party and unity and freedom of this
majestic commonwealth may be perfected
and perpetuated.

of wealth, such as would never be known
elsewhere in the United States. Lyell was
not political economist, and never con-
templated facts Of American statescraft as
did De Tocqueville. He could not foresee
absurdities procticed by the North in sub
0rdInating Anglo-Saxons to Africans and
to whites worse thansavages that stuffed OF
in moral rottennsss from Federal armies
to defle the air and pollute governments in
the South. Alabama was weighed down
by ignorance beneath this mighty mass Of
unadulterated knayery, and even yet Lyell's
prophecies are unfuIfIled, and the buried
treasures Of Alabama rest undisturbed be-
meath the everlasting hills about Tuscaloosa
and birmingham. Men like Lyell are the
great benefactors of the age and of the
human race, even as little, incapable blus-
tering demagogues are the impersOnations
Of all woes. that befall States and zfeptess
progressive civilization. We should hohor
Lyell's name and deeds, and bow reIer7
emily in the presence of his majestic worth.
In doing this we recite a lesson which
may induce some one Texan youth TO emu
late his deeds and virtues and inquire why
the wisest Of mankind invest names Ike
this of Lyell with undying fame--why Eng
land viii rear a proud nsusoleum above his
grave and his body rest AMONG tIIosv OF
kings, and why the selfish, ignorant pan
derer to local and evanescent prejudices
here in Texas is thrust out of memory as
soon as he rests from his labors, and no
longer plays fantastic tricks before the bois-
ferrous press and bowling rabble. :
