ENTERPRISES he past Two years has
not been a very suspicious time for the
pm hing Of enterprises Of any kind whatso-
ever. Times have been hard East ano
West, North and South, and there is hardly
section or State that has not suffered from
shrlnkage in values and general prostra-
ton in business. Perhaps Texas has suf-
fered as little or less than any state, and
Austin, as compared to other cities, large
or small, has Done amazingly well. She
has built her sfreet.raii way, gas and water
works, ice factories; she has added largely
to her populatr,n and Importance, and has
emerged from q modest little town into q
city only second in importance in this State
to Galveston. But what is Austin to do il
the next two years in the way of growth
The above enumerated enterprises have
all been completed; the Capital State Fair
Association has been established, and there
is no public enterprise now on hand except
the river bridge, and that will be COM
pleted and disposed of in a few short
months. Then, we ask, in what direction
will our public-spirlted citizens 8turn their
attention next Will they do nothing but
build. houses with the hope of renting
them, or will they first turn their atten-
ton TO the establishment of public enter
prises which will first create demand for
more houses We learn from mer-
chants just from New York that
there is there much inquiry about
Texas, and that in . few weeks q number
OF gentlemen with several thousand dollars
each will visit this city to survey the situa-
ton and to ascertain what openings there
are here for business, manufactures and
investments. NV is the time for our cap
italists and thinking men to mature plans
for the future and to map out in their
minds the best policy to be pursued to
build up this city, and to hold out induce
ments to those from abroad to assist in
building it up and for the development of
the country. Iu few weeks we will have
another railroad, winch may somewhat
change the aspect of affairs and throw new
lights upon the situation, and from this
time forward little thought devoted to
the future of Aus in may be time well spent.

TREE RECONCILLATION.

That it is desirable to have substantial
iraternal feeling between the North and
South is proposition which all will en-
dorse. That it is wise in order to attain
such result for the North to kneel in
humble subservience at the feet of Jefler-
son Davis and ask him to accept of amnes
ty is the opinion Of but few northern
men.
The debate on amnesty has created an
immense amount of thinking in the coun-
try. 1t has opened wide the eyes ofthose
who are loyal to the principles that tri-
umphed at Appomattox to dangers again
threatening the government 1t has eX-
posed the animus of the ex-Confederate
leaders. 1t has shown that under the pre-
tence of having accepted the situation in
good faith. Turks a deep design on the
part of JEFF Davis and his southern asso-
ciates to seize and control the government

of secession yet lives in southern breasts.
Republicans who previous to the meeting
of Congress were half inclined to believe
that the sentimentality of the Centennial
would bring all things round right, are
getting rid OF that silly notion and coming
to the opinion that harmony can only be
established between North and South on
the solid plan of Right and Justice.
1t is not alone the amnesty debate which
has set people TO thinking. The old AFRO
gance of the South has been displayed
ever since Congress assembled. The
crack OF the southern whip has resornded
in the House Of Representatives. The
democratic organization is under the con.
troll of southern despot The commit
tees were formed under the control of
southern influence. Union soldiers have
been driven out of Office by the democratic
majority 10 the House and their places
filled with ex-Confederates. When the

was made to gag the republicans so that
they should have no opportunity 10 amend

In calling the convention for the eleciontof

recommended to invite all republican electors and
al other voters, without regard to past pottcai
difference or previous party utilization, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feelings and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and en-
zen. including the fall and free exercise Of the
right Of suffrage without intimidation and with
out fraud, and who are in favor of continued pro-
secution and fuller punishment of all official dig
honesty and an economical administration
of the Government by honest, faithful and capable
of;cers who are in favor Of making such reforms
in the government as experience may from time
to time suggest, who are opposed to impalring the
credit of the nation by depreciating any OF its OBJ

the national faith and financial honor; who hold
that the common school system is the nursery Of
American liberty, and should be maintained ab-

BoLDkEss IN STATEsMANsHIP.
"For if the trumpet giveth an uncertain sound,
who shall prepare himself to the battle" text
from which lay-preacher might proftably adj
dress too many Of our political leaders. Forget
ting that Washington, Jackson and Grant were
not only wise in council but bold in execution too
many of our public men hesitate, compromise and
shirk responsibility. But Mr.. Blaine has shown
during the past few days, that he is pilot who
can weather storm. The issues he has made no
other republican in the House of Representatives
would have dared to make-no other man would
have carried them through. Cndismayed, unawed
listening not to those around him who feared and
who doubted, he has made the democracy show
what it is, and that does not repudate its anteced-
ents Using the parliamentary tactics at his dis
posal in manly, straig htforward way, he has
again unfured the Old Flag, and throughout the
royal North those who "wore the blue" are "fa-
ing in" again in solid columns. Others may en-.
gage in paltry intrigues and petty schemes, en-
couraging the disalected and treacherously aiding
the rebellious, but Mr.. Blaine has displayed pluck
and ability, in coming to the front, to boldly assert
the rights of the victorious, but forgiving and con-
ciliatory, loyal citizens of the Union.-Per(sy in

had by allowing the southern States to de-
part, they resolutely refused to do the ig-
nominious thing. They desired to be at
peace with the South, but they sad ana
said rightly that there could be no solid,
enduring peace. until the South yielded to
the authority of the government and ADAM
doned the doctrine of secession. There
were few timid republicans who thought,
with the democrats, that it was better 10
have peace even at the cost Of the disso-
linton of the Union, but their number was
small. their influence less, and their tate
was to be left behind by their party. At the
present time there are some who are
ready in order to conciiate the South and
produce harmony between North and
South Gas they say), to yield TO every
demand of the South, even to granting
amnesty to JEFF Davis so that he may be
eligible to the United States Senate or the
Presidency. Such leaders the republican
party will as certainly refuse to follow as
it refused to follow the peace men in time
of war No mercenary considerations oil
advantages TO trade or commerce, nor the
venal wishes Of the great centres OF busl-
ness, will be allowed to warp the republic
can party from the straightforward path
of duty. There are principles ut stake IN
this matter that are dearer than lite, yea,
for which hundreds of thousands OF lives
have already been sacrificed, and these
will not be abandoned tor any senilmen-
tality about the Centennial year or be-
cause trade and business may be tempo
rarily disturbed. The only way TO have
true and lasting reconciliation with the
South is to establish it on the foundation
of Right-ther it will stand, and trade and
commerce will prosper as they cannot
prosper on any unsubstantial basis.
