Texas and Nkw York. —A Wash
ington dispatch in the Courier-Journal
reads as follows : Leading politicians
of the State of Texas send emphatic as
surances of the certainty of the State
for Greeley and Brown. The Liberals
will elect all of the Congressmen, and
carry everything their own way. And
what is more surprising is that this state
of thing has been brought about with
out the* help of mass meetings, orators,
etc. The whole people arc aroused,
and will give the Cincinnati-Baltimore
ticket an overwhelming majority.
Confederate Dead from Gettys
burg Field.— The bodies of between
seven and eight hundred Confederate
soldiers, disinterred from the Gettys
burg battle-field and recently conveyed
to Richmond, Va., by the Ladies’ Me
morial Association, have been properly
reinterred on Gettysburg Hill, in Holly
wood Cemetery, without any public
parade or announcement. In all there
have been about fifteen hundred bodies
reinterred, mostly of men who belonged
to Pickett’s Division,the other Southern
States having removed nearly all of
their dead a good while ago.
Why the Iskaelitzs will Vote for
Greeley. —We, for our part, would not
vote any man into high position who
manifested a spirit of persecution at any
time. Wc did not vote for President
Grant on account of his notorious Order
No. 11. We could not possibly vote
for Mr. Wilson, because as a Know-
Nothing, ho hated and persecuted for
eigners and Catholics, and at the first
occasion offering in the Senate of the
United States, he proved a vulgar Jew
hater. We would never cast our vote
for any person identified with intoler
ance and injustice, because he i9 unfit
to be the banner-bearer of liberty, and
unsound, either in his judgment or moral
character. We vote neither for the
demagogue nor the idiot, and the intol
erant politician proves to be either. It
is with particular pleasure that we shall
vote for Horace Greeley, not merely on
account of his superior intelligence,
statesmanship, and stern honesty, but
also because he has proved himself in
variably just, tolerant and liberal to all
sorts of people and all classes of ideas.
That is the truly Democratic type of
manhood. These are particular graces
of an American statesman to command
our respect and confidence.— Cincinnati
Israelite.
-
A prominent Republican,writing from
West Lockport, Niagara county, N. Y.,
says that many of those prominent as
office-holders under Grant here come
out for Greeley, ar.d that, if the same
state of things exist in all parts of the
State as they do there, Greeley will
get 60,000 majority.
Mr. Voorhees said in his Greenfield
(Ind.) speech of the Louisville Conven
tion : Every intelligent man in tho
United States knows that it is a move
ment solely in the interests of Grant
and directly tending to bis rc-election.
That convention is the hope of the Grant
party. Mr. Greeley is now the only
choice we can make to bring peace
and reconciliation to the couutry.
II $2 :i year, in advance.
Resolved, That we regard the senti
ment now prevalent, iu tho arena* of
discussion, “The North and South shak
ing hands over the bloody chasm,” com
ing from whatever qunrtcr it may, as
premature. Let the rebel parties first
bring forth fruits meet for
and none shall be before us in extend
ing forgiveness for past ages of persecu
tion and oppression heaped Olympus
high upon us, and those identified with
us by complexion and condition; but
the virtue of magnanimity does not
consist iu making love pats upon the
tiger who but crouches to spring at our
throats for a death embrace.
So, it is “premature” for the North
and South to shake hands over the
bloody chasm ? And “the rebel parties
must first bring forth fruits meet for
repentance?” And the colored people
aro to be the judges of whether those
fruits are worthy of being received, are
they ? Certainly, “Time, in his whirli
gigs,” has never brought forth a revenge
more amaziug than that conveyed in
the above resolution, the third of a set
adopted unanimously at the second mass
convention of the colored citizens of
New Englaud, held at Boston on the
sth instant.
It is a direct challenge thrown out
to the Conservative sentiment of the
country. It was received with cheers;
and there was Frederick Douglass there
to smile approval, and to make the
speech. It is a point in the present can
vass which should not 1 c lost sight of.
Mr. BoutweU will doubtless be gratified
at this stroke of the brutal rancor. lie
struck tbe key-note iu North Carolina;
and the colored men of New England
are shouting the refrain. Wc find it
hard to determine, on the whole, who
are the more tit to shine in a Dehoiney
council —the white Mcphistopheles or
the black man whom lie has tempted
into the assertion of an insolent hostili
ty to his own race. — Washington Pa
triot.

Mrs. Clark (an enterprising widow
of the Pacific slope) edits the Sacra
mento Winning Way. Train is her
idol. She excitedly exclaims: “On

Never mind platforms. Wc want a
man.” So does Miss Anthony, and so
does Anna Dickinson; and if widow
Clark will only carefully observe what
road they’re traveling, and then take
some other, she’ll get what she wants.

Your mother has watched over you
in sickness and in belth. You cannot
fathom her love. It never dies. The
world may buffet and frown upon you,
but in all your life-course, as long as
your mother lives, she will love you
though all the world may condemn you,
and should she be called away before
you to the spirit world, she will, if pos
sible, come back and be your guardian
angel. Therefore, always bo kind, and
rue, and obedient to your mother, for.
every unkind word, every unfaithfulness
to her commands is like a dagger to her
heart. O, give your whole life to make
your mother happy.
An Arkansas local soliloquizes thus :
“Some of our exchanges are publishing
as a curious item a statement to the
effect that a horse in lowa pulled the
plug out of the bunghole of a barrel for
the purpose of slaking bis thirst. We
do not sco anything extraordinary in
this occurrence. Now, if the horse had
pulled the barrel out cf the bunghole
and slaked its thirst with tho plug, or
if the barrel bad pulled tho bunghole
out of the plug and slaked its thirst
with the horse, or if tho plug had pull-,

The lbuuKST Mosquito Yarn.— Mos
quitocs arc unknown in Atlanta, so my
tho Atlantesc. Harris, of the Savannah
News, tells a different tale from that.
He says when he was in Atlanta, a few
weeks ago, the native mosquito crop
was just ripe. lie fought them gallant
ly for three nights, and then succumb
ed, yielding his luxom corpus to tlwir
penetrating influences. On the fourth
night they had their own way with him.
He ceased to fight, and, in about seven
minutes they had sucked all available
blood from his body, and still were baW
starved. Angry at luving obtained *0
poor a feast, two old patriarchs of the
swarm gathered him, each by a hand
and a foot—after the fashion of school
boys—and bumped him against the
foot of the bed until lie was sore.—
Macon Telegraph Messenger.
A Dexter (Michigan) dry goods store
had anew and verdaut clerk. To this
clerk one afleruecn came a lady with
the inquiry, “Have you yellow cham
bray ?” The clerk iooked over the
stock, answered in the affirmative, and
asked “How many?” The lady, think
ing be meant yards, answered, “Two,"
and asked that the purchase be sent to
her residence. The clerk started soon
! after with a suspiciously large bundle,,
took it to the lady’s house, and was
there overwhelmed with the information
that was not what the lady deairrd—
ye'low earthenware. He fled and has
not bceu seen since.
_
At a recent Chicago fair the pafiofis
were allowed to vote for their favorite
candidate at twenty-five cents a ballot.
The Greeley men were ahead so long as
it depended on their private fortune*,
but the Grantites carried the day by
sending to Washington for SIOO,OOO.
*■ m
One of tho straight out Blanton Dun
cau delegates observed, during tbe sit
ting of the late Louisville Convention,
that he “would go to hell to defeat Gree
ley;” whereupon the Courier-Journal
consolingly remarks that the destination
of the delegate is likely to be in that
direction, even though Greeley be tri
umphant..
Radical circles in Washington aro
seriously disturbed by the appearance
of the political sky in Massachusetts.
Tho lights of the circles aforcside appre
hend the success of Butler iu packing
the party convention with his delegates,
thus insuring his nomination for Gov
ernor. In .the opinion of prominent
Radicals,such a catastrophe would make
it imperative upon the “respectable”
portion of the party to run a second
man as tbe “regular” nominee ; which
procedure would take shape as aw official
repudiation of Butler, but the division
of the party might throw the election
into Democratic hands— a lesser evil,
to be preferred to butler.
John G. Saxe writes to the Albany
Argus: “I do not find any Democrat
who thinks the Louisville gathering is
lildy to pay what it will cost the Gov
ernment at Washington (or rather at
Long Rranch) to get it up ; nor aay
Republican who supposes that General
Dix, for all his years and yearning for
place, can do more than run a little be*
hind a ticket that is doomed to be de
feated by not less than 75,000 totes.
(N. B.—Make a note of this prediction,
which is not so much mine as that of at
least twenty cool heads, long accustom
ed to. observe the chances and changes
of politics in New York). As to the
result of the Grant and Greeley eanUMts,
the most hopeful thing I have heard
from any champion of the Administra
tion's the declaration thus: ‘lt j*
going to be a hard fight and a close
vote.’ ”
