.TAKE AWAY THEF.DERAL BAYo-
NETs.-

The most notable speech made dur
ing the close of the debate i'm the
United States senate on the Louisiana
resolutions, was made by Mr.. Wallace,
the new democratic senator from
Pennsylvania, who takes a practical
common-sense view of the results of
keeping up carpetbag governments In
the south with federal bayonets. He
warned the senate that the action Of
congress towards the southern states
was ruinous to the whole country. He
declared that 1t was like building a
wall around the southern portion of
the republic and thus destroying the
markets. The effort of executive in
reference and military usurpation in
the south was plainly visible in Penn
sylvania, where the pine and iron, he
tells us, lie In piles at the mines and
furnaces and at the mills; the busy
industries of the Lehigh and Schuyl-
kill were no longer heard, and now the
people were becoming convinced that
the prostration was largely due to the
federal bayonets in the south, and to
the violation of the rights Of the peo-
pie Iy the federal government Mr..
Wallace tells us that the people of the
north now ask that the people of the
south be allowed to control their own
affairs. Give them the power to grow
rich. Take away the federal bayoaets
from the throsis Of the people Of the
soath apdrestars its prosperity. These

The estimate too often formed of
the character by society is erroneous.
1t is based principally upon deport-
ment outside of the home circ'e. There
are men who are considered so enter
tanning and irresistible, by their circle
of associates, that to question their
powers of amiability or fine taste, is to
bring down every body about your
ears. The delightful man will take
twice the trouble to please another
mans wife or sister or child he will
his own. At home he is gloomy, irri-
table and morose. He meets his
women folks with a scowl and takes
every thing done for his comfort as a
matter of course. His utter seliishness
is shown in wanting every thing of the
best, and anything that interferes with
his comfort must he stopped. AS for
consideration and disinterested unself-
ness, the delightful man In society
never exhibits them. He reserves all
of his delicate attentions and smiles
for society. Home to him is n place to
reek his i'll humor upon patient depend
ents and fond fools. His counterpart
the delightful woman-is familiar to
usall. This fascinating creature, whose
ravishing smiles and bewitching CO.
quetries make her the belle of every
occasion, when,off social parade and at
home, is IA restless, nervous, hysterical
being, all nerves, attacks and aches.
She fancies herself entirely uncompre-
hcnded by her husband and family
and is eternally longing for the soul
sympathy ofsome other unappreciated,
sublimated spirit. She is often SLOW
enly dowdy, who does not think it
worth while to dress to please her hus-
band, having no natural love of neat
ness and order engendered by proper
sense of cleanliness being next to god
illness. She is fond of going about the
house In dishdbiile and curl papers,
that sort of thing being good enough
for that matrimonial coolie, her hus-
band; but lie her hear another mans
step at the door, and all of her delight
ful ways are immediately resumed,
and the loveliest of toilets is made to
receive him.

WRONG NAME.

A District Convention.

To the Editor of The Dallas Herald:
The nth legislature, before adjourn
ing, concluded very wisely to yield to
the demands of the people and give lis
constitutional convention. On the
first Monday in August next the
people of the state are To cast their
votes for delegates to the convention,
and ut the SANG time, vote for ol
against the convention. From the
present state of public opinion. NJ
shown hy the newspapers throughout
the state, and from the often repeated
demand of the democratic party
for this convention, there is but little
doubt that it will he held. Now sucl
being the fact, it beh0Oves us to he
making preparation to secure rs dele
gates To the convention oul ablest,
purest and hest men. The future,
prosperity of Texas for hundred years
perhaps, depends upon the action ol
that body when it assemblies. Wisdom
and moderation should mark all the
delibcration of this the most august
and important body that has o: per-
haps ever will assemble in this state.
We need II constitution that will not
only he adequate to the present wants
of our state, hut one which will serve
us well when our population will be,
instead of one million, ten times that
number; one that will foster and build
up the many diversified interests Incl.
dent to such population. We need
our wisest and hest men for delegates
to this constitutional convention.
How are we to secure the services Ol
such men. We answer. Let the
chairman of this senatorial district call
democratic convention of the dis
trict. Let each county send fair rep.
resentaiion to that convention nd lei
each precinct in the respective cOun'

II il Is not done. THE HERALD has
carefully abstained from advocating

them to lay their views before the peo-
pie. We take it for granted that they
