THR following, from tho Courier
Journal, is the most rational explana-
ton OF the purchase of Confederate
bonds, and Is probably authentic: at
Is announced that tho secret service
assets OF the Southern Confederacy
have been finally distributed, and that
there will no longer DO any of those
mysterious orders wired among the
brokers' officers of the southern cities
commissioning them to buy Confeder-
ate bonds. The amount due the Con-
federacy by European bankers at its
downfall is stated ut s5,OsO,OOO; and IL is
explained that the occasional demand
for the bonds in late years arose in
cidentally from plan devised by the
late Ju DAB p. BENJAMIN TO secure the
trans fer Of such funds TO the bona fide
creditors who had advanced their
money TO tho Confederacy's aocro dlted
agents. Tho funds arc said to have
been fully distributed by paying for
the forthcoming bonds the value Of the
coupons matured In 1865 and unpaid,r

DALLAS. THE HERALD AND EN-
TERPRlSE.

When Dallas needed new opera |
mousse nobody seemed willing to take the |
ead and insist that this much-desired
enterprise should be put on its feet,
The Dallas HERALD stepped to the front
and persIstently explained and urged
the Importance Of such a step until
capital took hold of it, and the hand
somes. little opera house in the state
was built at cost of some $4,000. Then
Dallas needed a merchants exchange,
and the HERALD first championed the
idea; indeed, originated 1t, and fought
fer it IN every issue for months until
the graceful and magnificent proper
lions of our present exchange building
arose. The streets of Dallas were in a
miserable condition, retarding trade and
locomotion, and the Dallas HERALD
daily and unstintedly used It's columns
to arouse public sentiment in the
promises until at last it he'd the salts
faction to SOS Elm and Main and con-
Meeting streets handsomely paved with
|
nection with the northwest, and
| the HERALD threw Itself vigorously
(, into the fight, until its advice
was acted on and strong company or
ganized by Dallas capital to build the
road. In the matter Of the Federal
building and in every single enterprise
calculated to build up the city, the Del
las HERALD, in word, has gone at once
TO the front and stayed there until sac
cess crowned its efforts.
What has been the result2 Dallas

this city have had quarter o. mil

in the past two years directly through
the HERALD's persistent advocacy o
enterprises that have fruited to tho ben
eft of all. These are plain facts, not ut

Sign
WASHINGTON, May @-Postmaster
General Villas to-day requested the res
ignation OF j.. l.. Meade, who was re.
Gently appointed postmaster at Halle
hurst, Copinh county, Miss. The expla-
nation of the action of the postmaster
general is that since tho appointment of
Mr.. Meade 1t has come TO the knowledge
of the department that Meade presided
over q meeting which was held Just at-
ter the November election, in 1854, and
subsequently to the killing of Matthews,
Republican postmaster, by man
named Wheeler, on election day, at
which time the persons participating
took sides, by resolution, with Wheeler,
and served notice on the friends OF
Matthews thot they intended to stand
by Wheeler in case they sought revenge
for the killing Of Matthew'S. II is un-
derstood this is in conformation with
the determination OF the administration
not to allow itself TO become involved ia
any OF the political quarrels which have
occurred In the south.
