Hon. THOMAS ALLEN, whose speech
fills a page of each leading st. Louis
newspaper, is straight Democrat and
known in Texas as the president and
manager, with Col. Ford, of the st.
Louis and Texsrksns Railway. II

tion concern US more than the personal
ambitions of men who would eject

BISHOP HAVEN, that exceeding good
and godly man, who is given to much
speech about the vices of Southern
conduct and character, will preside at
the Methodist conference to sit in this
city November IS. That the man is
honest and earnest we do not doubt
but if he had kept his mouth shut
when it often flew open to give vent
to opinions of a people and of their
conduct and character, based upon in
formation derived from others, rather
than from personal observation, the
Bishop would be the more esteemed
for truthfulness, and thus capable of
greater usefulness. He can do no good
here.

Gen. Won Moltke is now 7S, or, to
be exact, will be 7S on the twenty
sixth Of next month, and yet does not
look much older than he did twenty
years ago. In more respects than ona
he is an iron man, having an iron will,
an iron constitution, and an iron char
acter. He deserves TO be called the
Iron Count quite as much as Weiiing-
ton ever deserved to be called the Iron
Duke, for he is. IL anything, more un-
yielding and of sterner disposition than
the great Irish -Englishman. He is a

years there, has been thought by many
to be native. At eighteen he was
sent, with his brothers, to the military
academy Of Copenhagen, where disci-
pline almost Spartan in severity laid
the foundation of his infiexible charac-
ter. Four years later he entered the
Prussian army as cornet, and his faith

We do not join the Shermsn Register
in the opinion that the Austin STATES
MAN has succeeded in making Col.
George Flournoy feel bad. When
Texas was ''In the worst possible
straits" George Flournoy stood be-
tween her and the enemy. With sword
in hand, at the head of a gallant regi-
ment of Texas volunteers, he encoun-
tered the foes of Texas and continued
until the last shot of the war was fired.
Ii the STATESMAN does not wish to
waste its ammunition it had better find
other game than George Flournoy to
shoot at.-R0uStOR Age.
The STATESMAN has ALWAYS heard
that although Col. F. was colonel Of
one of the best fighting regiments in
Walkers Division, he was never under
fire except in a skirmlsh at Millican's
Bend. II we are mistaken, the Age
will please correct US and tell US where
the Colonel and ''his sword" were at
Mansfield, Pleasant Hill and JInkins's
Ferry, or name any fight he was in
during the war.

show that Greenbackism is defunct and

will lose his seat in the House.

provo the condition IF cur people. so far as
legislation by Congress can do so, and as a
means to that end to enlarge and expand the
