HOUSTON, May 12.-The delegation
from Dallas, consisting of General w
l.. Cabell, Hon. John Henry Brown
Messrs. Thompson, Bookhout, Gibbs
and others, arrived this morning al
right, and are at the Hutchins house
At an early hour to-day, accompanied
by the representatives Of The HERALI
and Commercial, they called at the
residence ofThomas r. Franklin, anC
met Mr.. Davis. General Cabell, aft
shaking hands with him and introduc.
ing the members of the committee, eX.
tended to him cordial invitation to
visit Dallas. He spoke to the point
and said he would mot take "nop for
answer. Dallas, the Queen City OF
northern Texas, would be proud to
welcome him. He spoke as u repre-
sentative of the people and city gov
ernment of Dallas.
Mr.. Davis gave General Cabell and
the committee hearty welcome, and
has promised them definitely to visit
our city. The day has not yet been
fixed, but will be an early one.
AT nine o'clock to-day Messrs. Lead
er, of the Jefferson Leader, Rivers, of
The DALLAS HERALD, and Crooks, of
the Sherman Courier, the committee
appointed to visit Mr.. Davis, called on
him to extend to him an invitation to
take seat in the editorial convention;
also, to know when it, would be agreea-
BILE for him to receive the editors of
the convention in body. Mr.. Davis
fixed the hour at eleven o'clock this
morning, when the editorial conven-
ton, which was in session in the court
house, took a recess, and, headed by
the president, B. b. Paddock, of the Fort
Worth Standard, visited Mr.. Davis at

was introduced to and shook hands
with each member of the convention.
Mr.. Paddock, of the Democrat, made a
brief and very feeling address of well
come, to which Mr.. Davis, who was
evidently gratified at the honor paid
him, responded in like manner. He
said it was for the press Of Texas to make
known to the world the greatness of
the state, and to demonstrate the truth
that the pen is mightier than the
sword.
Mr.. Davis, after parting with them,
went to the fair grounds, by appoint
ment, to meet the veterans of the Mex
lean war.
