IT is most gratifying to The HERALD
to note its rapid increase in circulation
since it has secured the Associated
Press dispatches. 1t is the only paper
in Dallas that furnishes the general
telegraphic news of the day, as well as
the latest and most accurate tele-
graphic reports of the markets of the
world. In its domestic and foreign
correspondence and general summary
of religious, scientific and humorous
miscellany, it stands without COM
petitor in the great wheat region OF
Texas.

the Governor honestly acquiesced in
Mr.. Merrick's construction of the con-

event upon which il was to become

MERRICK & DURANT say that Gid
dings, in the recovery of the Texas
bonds, performed no other or more I'M
oortant duty than that performed By a
Sheriff, aejten he collects from a judg-
ment debtor the amount due on the
Judgment. The italics are those of
Messrs. Merrick & Durant. Their
memorial to the Legislature may be
characterized as 'istunner," and 1t
certainly merits a full reply from both
Governor Coke and Mr.. Giddings.
They conclude their well drawn petit
lion with these words:
Having, therefore, as is made appar-
emit by the aforegoing statement of
their relation to the claim of the State,
and the proceedings in regard thereto,
July executed and performed, in every
particular, all the duties that devolved
lpon them as counsel, and having by
means of their professional exertions
occurred for the State the realization of
he claim they were engaged to prose-
cute, and having, Notwithstanding
ibis, been unfairly and unjustly treated,
and made to feel that the efficiency
Ind success of their professional efforts
pave been deprecated and unright-
,ously DENIED, BY the Governor, in Or
Ter that he might seem justified in en-
.iching his personal friends with the
smoluments and decorating them with
the distinctions earned by your memo
fialists, they appeal to the Representa-
lives Of the people for redress of their
grievances, and ask the adoption of
)uch legislative declaration as shall
pronounce justice in the premises, and
give the people and the profession to
understand that, as counsel of the
State, they have performed all their
luties faithfully and with success, and

The Sioux Seek OGe nsive Alliance with
the Blackfeet Indians.

the BIackfeet lno1ans.
CHICAGO, Sept. ia letter from S. E.
Denny of the Canadian mounted police was
received here to-day at military headquarters,
and is the first official information sent this
government of the proposed alliance between
the Sioux and Blackfeet for warfare on the
American whites and on the Crow Indians.
Denny was sent to investigate and diploma
tive among the savages which he appears to
have done successfully. He visited the
Blackfeet nation, was cordially received and
learned from them that the Sioux had made
advances to them for the purpose of getting
them to join them in fighting the Crows and
other Indians, and also the Americans. The
Sioux promised portion Of the spoils,
and also q number of white women whom
they captured. They promised after the
Americans whites were exterminated, to 60
across and massacre the Canadian whites.
The Blackfeet having refused these PROPOSE
tions, the Sioux threatened to come across
and punish them. Denny promised to aid
the Blackfeet in case they were attacked, un-
der these circumstances, which pleased them
so we'll that they made profuse demOnstra-
tons and assertions of eternal friendship fSr
the whites, and threw themselves on the
kindness and protection Of the Canadians, say.
ing they realized that in time they would be
deprived of forage and provisions by the en-
croachments of the whites. The letter is
dated July 18th, and is directed to Lieut.. Col.
A, G. Irwin, Northwestern Mounted Police.
