EX-GovERNoR ENGLISH, Of Connec-
ticut, who Is on tour of observation
through II portion Of our state, was
serenaded by the citizens of Browns
willie last Wednesday evening. The
governor will return home by way OF
Dallas, aud our citizens should make
an effort to induce him to stop over
few days. His manly and
earnest defense of democratic princi-
pies is known and appreciated in
Texas, and THE HERALD is confident
our citizens would be gratilied to mani
fest that appreciation.
In selecting candidates for the city
offices, rs for any Others, the only rule
is to get the best. 1t is not necessary
or desirable that they should all be
merchants, manufacturers or lawyers,
nor that they should all be men who
have proved by success in private
business their possession of remarka-
ble sagacity and skill in affairs. But
il is highly desirable that they should
all be honest and faithful, willing to
give to the business brought before
them such measure of careful, unbiased
and intelligent attention rs it may
reasonably require.
THE fine court house of which Dallas
county is so proud, is surrounded by
grounds which, in their present condi.
ton would appear unfavorably beside
the barn yard of some of our farmers.
Shrewd business men understand this
andSitssinfluences, and are moving as
fast as possible from the neighborhood
to more congenial points for business.
In another year, if the exodus coltin
ues at the same rate as during thepast,
it may not be unreasonable to predict
that in short time the elegant ediiice
which is now the pride of the city and
county, will be surrounded by empty
stores and deserted houses,
THERE is to be q meeting of the
publishers of the Mississippi valley in
the Temple at st. Louis, on Tuesday
next, April 9th, "the deliberations of
which will be of more practical inn
portuncc to the fraternity than that of
any convention ever held in this
country" so says circular issued by
J. $. Williams, for the committee of
arrangements. We should indeed be
gratifed to be present, but fear that
business mt home will prevent. So far
us the action of the convention is of
practical use to the press of the west
and southwest, it certainly has our
cordial wishes and approval.
CONGRESSMAN LAMAR, of Mississippi,
told reporter of the Atlanta Herald
recently, that he did not regard the
New Hampshire election as an indi-
cation of II returning republican as
tendency in national politics. He
thinks that if the opposition to the
administration can be harmonized on
IL platform that shall ignore all minor
considerations, there will be no diff
Guilty in electing Charles Francis Adj
ans or Judge Davis, of the supreme
court, or possibly Senators Thurman
or Bayard, or Gov. Hendricks. On
the third term subject he said: 81
think Grant will try third term. /
think that he is nov candidate for
denomination. Animmense effort will
be made to defeat him in the nominat-
ing convention, but this l have no
idea can he done. We may count
pretty certainly on having Grant to
iun against in the centennial CANVASS"
