@. II. IIibbler, for four years an active,
laborious merchant 10 Dallas, was arrested
some days ago on . requisihon sent hither
By Governor AdeIbert Ames, the negro
chosen chief magistrate OF Mississippi. In
1862, while the war ragged, Hibbler met q
personal enemy on the highway. A sight
ensucd, and Hlbblcr killed the man who
sought 70 take bis life. Hibblcr was then,
as was his enemy, We believe, Confeder-
ate soldier. Soon afterward he went with
his command to Virginia, and rose steadily
from the ranks 60 q cOlonelcy. He served
through the war, returned to Mississippi,
remained there three or four years and
came to Texas. The ''rebep Mississippi
Legislature had passed general act Of am
nesty and pardon for all such offenders, as
was Mr.. Hibblef, conditioned that they
enlist as Confederate soldiers. Under this
statute, Col Hibbler supposed, and was
ever advised, till nov, that this amnesty
act Of the State constituted an end ofthe af-
fair; but Ames believes, no doubt, that an
act Of legislation designed to promote the
strength OF the Confederate armies cannot
be suffered tn obviAte the necessity OF sub
jecting Col. Hibbler to needless annoyances
Of needless and most troublesome trial in
distant State. Col. Hibbler is now 10 this
city, where his rights win DO determined by
full bench of the Supreme Court.

This distinguished Statesman breathea his
last, 1t his home near this CITY. on the
morning Of the tenth Of April. In announc-
ing his death, it does not become necessary
Tor rs to array his career and public ser
vices before the people, for tho fame Of A.
J. Hamilton reaches far beyond the pres
ence Of the STATESMAN. His reputation is
a national one, extending through every
part Of the broad Union, which he was
known to love 50 well. Governor Hamil-
tons public services have been great. He
served Texas in her legislative halls, and af-
forwards with peculiar brilIiancy and
powerin the Congress Of the United States.
There was a time when his powers, as an
orator, were equal to any one Of ancient or
modern days. He was probably the most
powerful stump speaker that ever lived.
lie loved Texas with a most fervent zeal,
and this love, while it led others to the re-
verse, impelled him, at the breaking out
Of the Confederate war, to quit the South.
lie spent the period which encompassed
that eventful struggle at the North, and
when II was ended he came back to Texas
as its provisional Governor, and instead Of
exercising the powers Of the conquereT,
dealt out justice and leniency. to her people.
Governor Hamilton was q member Of the
Reconstruction Convention, and in it en-
gagged actively in preserving rights to the
citizens Of Texas, which otherwise would
have been denied them. He also
held seat upon the Supreme bench
Of this State Ia consequence Of his
generous administration and conserva-
tive efforts, he became the compromise can
didale Of the Democrats for Governor in
1868, and. though rghtfully and fairly
elected, was defeated BY the Returning
Board, with Gen. Reynolds at its head.
Like an other men, Governor Hamilton had
his faults, and at times exercised them 20
his own detriment; bat he possessed the
most generous impulses, and win be remem-
hered as a kind and good man. He was
adored BY the members Of his Immediate
family, aud be had many, many friends,
who loved HIM well. His illness was Of
some duralion-an affection Of the lungs-
from which he seemed to be recovering.
when, after severe coughing spell, he be-
came the victim Of almost immediate suifO-
cation nom severe hemorrhage.
The funeral services took place At 2
O'Clock on tho twelfth instant, within The
ualls Of the Capitol, whore an immense
concourse OF people, whites and blacks,
paid homage 20 the dead chieflain. Elo.
quent eulogies were pronounced By Hon.
John Hancock and Gen. Shelley. The reli-

NEWSPAPERS, in the same village, hardly
have space enough, when they conduct
themselves properly and quietly and de-
Gently, to live comfortably, and yet when
they quarrel and abuse one another, and
lessen the esteem in which they themselves
would otherwise be held, and amuse the
mob by their vulgar denunciations, and now
and then by lighting like a pair of bull
terriers, they degrade the profession they
dishOnOr, and deserve the reprobation OF

dom. When the press association, if there
be one in Texas, sits in Houston, it should
