who has gone through the test and
struggle of the^ate so-called rebel-
lion, bas been tried in tbe fire and
not found wanting. He is emphati-
cally a man on whom all Southern
men oan unite:
"As Texas will be entitled to .two
additional members in the next Cdn*
gress, who will have to be elected by
general ticket, and as the time is at
lymd when a State Convention must
be'called to make nominations of
suitable candidates, we should be
resting about for the right men to
fill these important petitions. We
take it for granted, considering the
fact that the largest addition to oqr
population has boen made íb North-
ern Texas, that one of the «candi-
datos will be selected from this sec-
tion. Who shall he be t There can
be, we think, but one answer to this
question. AU eyes will be tamed
at once upon Governor J. W. Throck-
morton as the very man for the plaoe
and the times. His acknowledged
ability, bis long experience, his de-
voted patriotism, at once point him

to be told that anything good in this
wayjis exceedingly scarce this season.
Unfortunately it was the same last
year. Then tho destroying de-
nton of war took away the fishermen
from tbe villages, and added to this, .
the fish were scarce, so that more
were contracted for than cf uld bo

Tbe fishery, says the London Gro-
cery is Carried on generally from July
to November, all along the West coast
of France. Two of the largest stations
ace at Douamcz and Coitcarneau.
Fleets of boats go out some few miles
and spread out the nets,by the side of
which some cod-roe is thrown to at-
tract the fish. . The nets are thrown
on one end and have corks attached
to the other so that they assume a
vertical position—two nets being
placed close to each other, that tho
tish trying may be caught in tke
meshes, ilrought to land, they are
immediately offered for sale, as, .if
