THE International Railroad Company
ought to be, and no doubt viii become,
fully satisfied with the compromise offered
by the State Of Texas. It is exceedingly
liberal, and though it win not do for imme-
diate hypOthecation, as in the case Of bonds,
still there are the elements Of immense
wealth in the franchises offered. The CON-
pany and the people Of Texas viii soon re-
gard the compromise as sufficient for the
honor and dignity Of Texas.

THE Kansas City Journal says that ar
rangements have been perfected for build
ing the Red River and Rio Grande Railroad,
westward from Denison, Texas, through
Gainesville to the southeastern frontier of
Texas, ultimately to the Rio Grande river.
This is an important enterprise for Kansas
City, as 1t will open to her the rich country
southwest of Denison.

The Rep0rter-AdCanes says: 1.-THE taxa
ton in Mississippi under negro rule is $14
on the $1,000 worth of property. In Ten
nessee, where the whites control, the tax is
s.. so per $1,000. The milk in the cocoa
nut is thus accounted for. In Mississippi,
those who do the voting and hold the
offices pay no tax, or comparatively little.
In Tennessee, the taxpayers hold the offices
and do most Of the voting, IS they should
do Carpet-baggers and scalaWags pull the
wool over the negroes eyes, and they grow
fat together of the spoils tlched from the
taxpayers; but common justice and com
mon sense dictate that those who do not
pay taxes ought not TO vote or have any
control in government Offices.

standing the Democratic party has control

on the Capitalization of GFantlsm; and that
unless Texas is put under the true, genuine
and economical principles of Democracy,
her ultimate fate viii be-bankTuptcy."

WE advise families, the decent and re-

The civil rights act, Thurlow Weed says,
twill bring nothing but disappointment
and vexation to the coIored man. After a
few abOrtive attempts to enforce it, things
will settle down in the old way, leaving
questions of social equality to regulate
themselves. The best that can be hoped is,
that the law will become a dead letter. y
We have no doubt that time will establish
the correctness Of this view.

IF newspapers would insist on the pro
duction of the most cotton possible, that
the price may be the least possible, there
would be less produced. Now, the press
promotes production by making each farmer
hope that little will be planted and he will
make it all. Stop it.

people to cultivate small farms thoroughly

Go! tear your hateful ensign down,
It m0cks, it shams the Right;
IT'S but a Haunting lie that slrouds
Our Crescent homes tonight.
'Tis not the flag of Washington,
The banner Key hath sung:
Tris not the flag whose tattercd folds
Der Chalmette's ramparts hung.
IT'S not the flag Mcclellan bore
From Hampden to the Pines;
'ris not the flag whose aegis fell
Der Lees surrendering lines.
'Tis not the flag of conquering host
That waved DER conquered braves
In solemn witness to the truce
Mid North and Southland graves.
IT'S not the flag our fathers loved
No! nor the Stripes and Stars
That wake the sclioolboy's martial fire
In bursts of wild huzzahs.
'Tis not tile flag that erstwhile draped
Our affairs, hearths and walls
MementO Of the peace that rcigned
LnbrOken IN our halls.
Go! tear it down, tits Tyrant's ffag,
Its folds are stained and wet
With blood of citizens who fell
By ball and bayonet. @
IT'S Desrot's flag, it's ghostly folds
Hang suilen to the breeze;
The very wind themselves refuse
To watt such folds as these.
The vultures brooding DER tho scene
Their circuits wider make,
And sicken'd, quit the foetid rag
And leave it IN their wake, ..
The sun behind the clouds is hid
As if it would deny
Its faintest ray with which to light
That mockery in the sky.
Yes, tear it down. and lay its folds ''.
Forever meath the sod, - L
Nor curse us more with mockeries
And Tyrant's rule and rod.
Let this be done, and we will raise
Our standard where it hung;
And notes of joy will rend the air
BY patriot voices sung.
No North, no South, no East, no West,
One fate, one flag for all,
And we will Weld the nalm to mona
At common country's call.
