after hurrah passed hurriedly upon the
announcement that Texas is with us, and

ordered to draft a resolution of thanks

THE CONFEDERATE HOME.

press my smitten lips; deliver me from an
asylum where am fed by those as needy
as l.
A resolution Of thanks was offered TO Mr..

THE CHARGES AGAINST LIVINGSTON.
The charges against Col Livingston have
been acted upon finally, perhaps, by this
convention. The governor and his friends
are more determined and more sanguine
than ever. The charges will now be made
public, and the proof will also be submitted
60 the public. The people will be called
upon to decide il after all. Gen. Gordon is
with the governor in this fight. He came
all the way from New York to be present
here to-day.
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN.
An important matter, which will come up
before the convention tomorrow, and one
In which much interest csnters, is the pur-
chase of the Southern Alliance Farmer, the
the official organ Of th , statealliance. Coupled
with this is another important question,
namely, that of fixing its position upon the
railroad question. Serious differences have
existed for some ume upon this very
point. The editors of the paper have not
been together. Quite recently Larry CAN'T
wrote a two column article antagonistic to
the railroads, and before IL was printed
Harry Brown saw It and reported it to Pat
Calhoun. Mr.. Calhoun telegraphed for
CAN'T and at once asked him to come to
his office. CAN'T did 30. Mr.. Calhoun told
him that such an article, Just ia advance of
the meeting Of the alliance and while the
legislature was In session, would hurt him
and his railroad interests, and that he (Mr.
Calhoun did not wish IL published. The
piece was not published, and
Harry and Larry agreed 60 let
the convention decide which was right
and what the course of the paper should be.
This was true story, and the way 1t was
| forced out was this; CAN'T showed the proof
| of the article TO Senator Ellington before
Brown saw il, and told the senator IL would
be printed. When it failed 20 appear
on Aug. IL Senator Ellington
| asked CAN'T why IL did not
| and then CAN'T, in the presence of four or
five of the senator's friends. gave the rea-
| sons why. One of these friends noted what
he had heard, and wrote out statement
and to-day gave it to the delegate TO this
convention from his county. In this shape
the matter is expected to come up before
the convention to-morrow.
