The stryehnIas Eater Again.

There seems to be no doubt of the
truth of the story. published by the
Gilroy Advocate regarding the strych-
nine eating phenomenon. The Yuba
City Banner corroborates the story,
and says the man lives at that place,
where he is well known. His name is
Jack Neal. The Banner says: "Jack
came after his paper a few days ago
and told us that be had just returned
from Gilroy, and Of the notoriety he
had attained during his absence, when
he brought forth his strychnine bottle
and poured into the palm Of his hand
what we supposed was 20 grains of the
deadly drug, which he Tapped up until
the whole disappeared. He then drew
from another side pocket of his coat
suspicious looking black bottle and
drank from it. This he assured US was
the 'rale stuff and no mistake"

The Reese River Reveille in review

"In reviewing the political action of

GRANT AND DAVIS ~ 81. LOUIS.

-Four days ago President Grant and Ex-
President Davis, the latter certainly the per-
sonal and social equal of the former, both
elepes of West Point and known personally
through all their lives to one another, were
in st. Louis, Mr.. Davis stopping at the
Southern Hotel. There are many reasons
why Grant, il gentleman, would have
called without any parade upon Mr.. Davis.
The latter was at Grants own home, and
the commonest civility was due the stranger
magnate Of an empire. But Grant was not
equal to the occasion; his instincts, tastes
aud lifelong HABITS did not suggest proper
line Of coledct, and we can see now, for the
first time, a patent necessity for civil and
social rights bill. 1t should be operative
upon dirty fellows in representatives offices.
II Grant knew, however, that Davis was
cognizint of SO much Of his early habits and
history that the beaten Confederate chief
tain would surely have snubbed the victo-
rious Federal President, the great dog and
Murphy fancier perhaps acted properly.
The simple truth is that Grant was conscious
that he could not, under the peculiar cir
cumstances Of the case, conduct himself as
became gentleman in the presence of Mr..
Davis, and thus lost an opportunity of hav-
ing it recorded in history that the foremost
successful soldier was also the foremost
gentleman of his time. But Grant shows
that the terms soldier and gentleman
are not always convertible terms, and true
soldiers win never forgive the offense.

AND now comes the pious, godly 7ele-
graph, that never fickers and never falters,
and absolutely has the hardihood to confess
that it differs from the great majority Of
the Constitutional Convention and concurs
with every Radical member of that body in
thinking that right should never have been
supplanted by expectancy; In other words,
that the laws of Texas should never have
been suspended that its Constitution might
be operative. If the STATESMAN had done
this thing, and the Telegraph had been on
the other side, the Telegraph would have
shrieked Radical I'' "Radical p' the
Erdminer would have slowly gathered in
the idea, and Texas would tremble because
of the deafening uproar. Now, we believe
absolutely that the Telegraph has resorted
to this dodge to 4how the world that it does
sometimes and can really think for itself,
though it does now dare to come to the
front and talk out like q little man.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

THE rich cattle owners are buying out the
Southwest is rapidly monopolized by the
few who own vast districts of prairie land
Col Ross, chief Of the Cherokee Nation,
delivered an address at the recent lnterna-
tional Indian Fair, at ocmulgee, IN which
he stated that the Indian Territory has an
area of As, 900, 900 acres, and a population
Of 20, 900. divided into thirty-six nations
and TRIBES The Indians harvested, last
year, more than 9, 600, 600 bushels of wheat !;
property valuation is $40, 900, 600, and one
9th of the interest accruing each yeal is
devoted to public instruction.
THE Shreveport T'imes's correspondent
makes pen picture of the tout ensemble of
the Constitutional Convention, and says
that il is body difficult to describe
Among It's members are some Of the ablest
mon In Texas-men who in any country
would be conspicuous for their patriotism
and intellect There are also in the Com
xention number of gentlemen less bril-
liant, but Of sound practical sense. Upon
the other hand, there are members of the
body whom one wonders to see in an assem-
blage called together by an enlightened
people for the very important purpose of
framing the organic law of a great and
rapidly growing State men of good inien-
tions, bat who have absolutely no compre-
hension of the work entrusted 80 their Wis
dom. They have taken up the cry OF re
trenchment and reform, " and like parrots
scream into the ears of the Convention, in
and out Of season. II motion is made TO
allow the members postage stamps, this
class, IN the interest of s'retrenchment and
reform, are ready TO waste $500 worth of the
Conyention's time in debating a resolution
toreduce the number allowed each member
two or three stamps. Finally we have the
Radical element numbering fifteen, white
and black, under the leadership OF Col.
Web. Flanagan, an adroit politician, and
the people here say the best man in his
party in Texas. This element makes very
fair professions, but doubt il they would
like TO see such &C Constitution adopted as the
people want. When the .Tetrenchmenters'
prnpose 20 do anything ridiculous, very
likely the RAIDS will side with them 10 do
what lies in their power to make eonspieu-
Gus what Of Democratic demsgognery and
ignorance is in the Convention. -heii
most earnest work will probably be ia op
position to the provisions to control rail
roads and 70 reoFganize the free school sys

On the day the Constitutional Convention
met in this city it was proposed to Gen.
Whitfield, at his hotel, that preliminary
meeting OF the Democratic members should
be held; but nothing mere was done in
this direction. A few hours later, when
the great body of the members were in the
hall of the House, Gen. Whitfield was
called to the char, that the body might be
organized. On some question a colored
member addressed the chairman. The
latter was startled, and looking hardly AT
the negro. as If he doul ted his own senses,
the General said, "This is Democratic
meeting, il am not mistaken, and unless
YOU are Democrat, which is hardly posi-
bic, l think You had better retire. Some
gentleman suggested that the chairman had
miseonceived the purpose and charpcter oil
the meeting, and then the chairman, seeing
how he had Numbered, was instantly fault
less in his demeanor, and it was ON his lips,
when addressing the colored individual,
1.-The honorable member fr.m Marshall
has the noor.n Aud now we hear that
when the General was detailed as u member
Of the Committee on Education, on which a
negro was assigned place, he went to the
committee room, and, finding the colored
man there and no chairs, he coolly said,
% Bob Che calls all negroes Bob. bring
some chairs They came. Bob" fetch

.'Bob. be kind enough to bring us paper
and ink, "'and Bob travelled, aud when Bob
came aud deposited the things, he stood,
hat in hand, before the gray-haired General
and SAID, You don't want muffin more "

then" responded Bob. "l'll jess quit. Ef

mittees dis nigga defors de arm cheer and

ored minority of the Committee on-Educ,l-
tion, we believe it was--coolly shuilled,
whistling, down stairs.
For all this, the General, such is his sur.
piter in mode and sdcOir faire, is, personally,
the most popular gentleman IN the Con7eii-
ton, not emily ON the colored, but on the
Democratic side of the body of which lac
is one of the ablest members.

from the west had travelled nearly. all
the entire State to get here. He had come
to this State about twenty years since, an'
had travelled nearly all the way by rail, but
it was such a rail as he did not desire to
travel by again-it was q rail prizing stages
out of the mud at nearly every step. The
proposition of Mr.. Mccormick to give the
public lands to schools was subterfuge.
Mr.. Flournoya spoke against the amend
ment. He said railroads had been bless
ing to the State. They had brought Immi-
grants and settled up places that had been
ut barren waste. Were lands increased
in value by the advent of railroads. Would
the tax assessor and collector assess lands

would before the railroad came Z No sir.

Legislatures to squander the public domain
of Texas He would venture the assertion
thai. not one acre Of land had parted from
f[sfue ownership by being granted to rail-
roads. He was no enemy TO the giving of
public lands to railroads; but he was in IA
vor of keeping them In subsection to the
laws of the land, and under the full control
Of the aw-making body of the State. He
had introduced resolutions to that effect.
he was not one Of those who would turn a
deaf ear to the cries of the west and smi-

but had kindly and imploringly reminded
