SENATOR Hull, Of GeorRIs, sometimes
goes of 81 half cock, but not unfre-
q1ently impels center shot. For in
srance, the following from his recent
letter to sn Illinois editor:
II the Republican party will let
alone the issues tettled by the War
aud treat them as settled, and will
cease to maltrest, SANDER and mahgn
the Southern people, and will thus al
low parties to form on proper and ecu
nomic and proper political questions,
the people Of the South, like all ether
people, will divide.
This whole matter must be decided
by the intelligence of the Northern
people. II they are unable TO see the
very plain motives of the Republican
leaders and papers In keeping alive
the sectional passions and issues, or If
they are unwilling 10 rebuke those mo-
tives, we shall have solid North
against 8 solid South, and very soon a
solid despotism for all
I repest, we of the South accept the
results of the war ID good faith. We
will soon recover from all the losses of
the war if Republican roeues aud
slanderers will permit US TO do so. We
are strongly 10 favor of preserving aud
perpeiuating to our children our con-
stitutit nal system of Federal 81 State
governments. We do not believe 8
better system can ever be devised for
this country. But sectional despotism,
accomplished by sectional ISLANDERS and
administered by sectional beta, is the
very worst form Of possible despot-
ism. We sre opposed to any more
civil wars for any purpose.

Mans Age.

Few men die of old age. Almost all
die of disappointment, passion. mental
or bodily toll or accident. The pas
sions kill men some times very sud-
denly. The common expression,
choked with passion, has little exag-
geration in 1t, for even though not sud-
denly fatal, strong passions shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die
young-weak men live longer than
strong, for the strong use their strength
and the weak have none TO use. The
latter take care of themselves, the for
mer do not. AS it is with the body, so
it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the
candle, to turn, the weak to burn out.
The interior animals which live, in gen.
eral, regular and temperate lives, live
generally their subscribed term of years.
The horse lives twenty-five years the
OK fifteen or twenty, the lion twenty,
the dog ten or twelve, the rabbit eight,
the guines-pig six OF seven years.
These numbers all bear similar pro-
portion to the time the animal takes to
grow to its full size. But msa of sll
the animals is the one tina. seldom comes
up to the average. He ought to live a
hundred years, according to this physi-
illogical law. for five times twenty are
oae hundred, but instead of that he
scarcely resches an average Of four
times his growing period, the cat SIX
times, and the rabbit even eight times
the standard of measurement. The
reason is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and the most intemper-
ate, but most labonous and hard work.
e. fot all animals; and there is reason
70 believe, though he cannot tell what
secretly feel, that more than
any other animal man chenshes wrath
TO keeRit warm and consumes himself
with the fire of his own secret rthee-
tons.

A GENTLEMAN of Denlsor, who was
allured to Mexico by the wonderful &C.
counts of valuable metals found in the
Sierra Mojada, writes a letter, pub
lished in the Denison Neaos, In which
he shows that the whole thing has
been speculative scheme, entered into
on the part of Messrs. Willett
and Parish, of San Antonio,
with officials in Mexico. The
latter gave Mr.. WilIett control of lands
in the mining districts, which belong
to them. These spectators are spend
ing very little money in mining, only
enough, in fact, to advertise the mat
ter and TO bring in people with money,
which, it is expected will
soon pass into the hands of
the speculst)rs, who expect to
realize handsomely from the enhanced
sue, ana
the sale of its lots. The mines appear
rich, but the ore is mainly in pockets,
and these are directly exhausted. 1t
is no place, he Gays, in any respect, for
Texans to go to, and he advises them
to stay away, as they will soon
return poor in pocket and
broken down in spirits. The best
mines in the world, probably, are to
be found in the soil, and grass of the
limitless prairies of Texas, and we
would advise those who wish to live a
life of much independence and con-
tentment to devote their time and
money to agriculture and stockraising,
in the country east of the homes of the
Greasers.

A CADET" writing from the So
called Agricultural and Mechanical
College to his father at Dallas, is rath-
er facetious in his comments upon
members of the board. He starts of
with Governor Roberts:
he gave US quite lengthy speech,
but 1t was not near as much as l ex-
pected from such an exalted personsge
as the Governor. In delivering his
speech he did not pronounce his words
distinctly; he talked like he had q
chew of tobacco in his mouth. In
personal appearance he looks very
much like day laborer-had on an
awful dirty shirt. He was followed by
the Lieutenant Governor, Savers, who
talked very fiuently, but did not use
any gestures whatever. He does not
look like very brilliant man, but APP
pearances are sometimes deceitful.
After him came the Speaker OF
the House, Hon. John II. Cochran.
our representative from Dallas county.
He hesitates q great deal in his deliv-
cry. He also talks too fast. think
We could find much better represen-
tstive to send from such county as
Dallas is. But it seems that the poor
est>men are generally sent to Austin as
Representatives,. He was also followed
by Hon. II. B. Pickett, who looks very
much like an old broken down Irish
paddy. He gave us q long speech; but
l had as much as ! could do to refrain
from laughing, as in speaking he ges-
ticulates with his head instead of his
hands,
All Of which shows that this college
can at leest produce impertinent critics.

HUGH MCCULLoCH The author of the
plan for settling the debt of VIr-
ginia, claims that seven-eights of the
people of the Old Dominion are OPP
posed 10 any readjustment. McCul-
loch brought about a compromise in
the interest of the funding association
of New York and the council of foreign
bondholders, which provided for the
issue of new bonds at three per cent.
fer ten years, four per cent. for the
following twenty years, and five per
cent for ten years thereafter,
the coupons being made receivable for
all public dues and exempt from taxa
ton. Uoder this arrangement about
$40, 600, 600, or one-third of the entire
debt, has been already funded. The
credit of the State may be seriously
affected by re-adjustment, but the
question has two sides. These debts
were made when VIrginia's taxable
property was much greater than it is
now. Much of the debt, too, was
contracted under circumstances which
would seem to make the scaling a ne
cesslty, and then the ability of the
State to pay its immense debt is ques-
tionable. II 1t be unable to pay the
debt the readjustment becomes ne
cessity.

A Washington special to the Missouri
Republican. says: All the Southern
members of Congress who have arrived
here haye been interviewed on the Grant
boom in the South, and all of them say
there is nothing in it; that it is mere
talk of few in the South who are al
ways specializing on the political out
look. There is no doubt, however,
that there is something in the move
ment to legislats in Grants behalf this
winter. Bills will be introduced to
make Grant Captain-General of the
army and retire bin aa "a. &. 9fISch Yitb &hf
De opposed by Gen. Sherman's friends,
which opposition will likely make itself
known in bill retiring all ex-Presi-
dents on handsome salary. Gen.
Grants friends say that while they be-
lieve such bills could be passed yet
they know Gen. Grant would not con-
sent to be pensioned on the govern
ment. The feeling that such measures
would receive at least large ms Drity
vote grows out of the belief that the
Southern men would, owing to the
record of the war, vote in the affirma-
tive, and to their votes would be added
those of the friends of other candidates
for the presidency in the Republican
party. The measures mentioned will
be so worded as to allow the General to
accept the presidency of the Nicara-
guam Canal company or engage in any
other pursuit.

AN effort will be made by Southern
congressman to have the Superintend-
ent of the Census ascertain what pro-
portion of the Southern cotton crop is
produced by white and what by col
ored labor; the idea being to show
that the great staple is largely culti-
waited independently of the negro, and
that, contrary to the general belief,
the climate and soil of the South are
well suited to white immigration.

IT is claimed by psr!isaus OF the
Panhandle locators that the custom of
locating lands, in the style adopted by
Gunter g. Munson OF the Canadian
river, has been resorted to for all time;
that great deal of land has been pat
ented where single sections covered
both sides of the stream. This may
be true, but when 900 men have disre-
sarded law there is no right in al
: lowing the one Lhoussndth to do the
same thing. But we doubt whether
this practice has been carried to the ex-
tent represented. Under the laws of
Mexico and of the Republic o: Texas,
and even for time under the law of
the State, lands were granted in very
large bodies, and in locating these
lands it became absolutely necessary to
run the lines of tract survey across
streams. But the law now in force
Is too plain to admit of any
such false construction. 1t respects
the common law upon RIPARIAN rights,
and no grants having been made since
the Law aect:onizing lands went into eff
feet, except under similar statutes to
the one now in force, ell surveys made
Contrary to 1t are null and void, and
the courts would certainly so decide.
Under the head of "PubIc Lands" in
the Revised Statutes is the following
very plain provision: "All lands sur
geyed for individuals lying on nayiga-
bic water courses shall front one-half
OF the square on the water course and
the line running at right angles with
the general course of the stream, if cir
eunstances of lines previously survey
cd under the laws will permit; and all
streams, so far as they retain an aver
age width OF thirty feet, shall be con-
si6ered nsvigable streams within the
meaning hereof, and they shall not be
crossed by the lines of any survey"
II IL represented that Gunter &
Hunsnn were ignorant of the law re-
quiring surveys to begin on each
side Of streams, but this does not rec

she Canadian river with the same con-
alteration given the State as them
selves, 1t would have been an offense
q less magnitude, but the water loca-
lions are ell made for themselves
and none for the State. These gentle
men stand in the hight OF law breakers
IN civil sense. They have committed
no breach against the peace of the
State, but its dignity is decidedly at
tAcked by them. They will no doubt
refuse to return their patents for can
celstion, and the matter will probably

courts, but it may be hoped there
