day of deliverance by bonllroH can

sweet rejoicings appreciated only .by a

Yesl we shall bo redeemed by the
election on tho 2d day of December for
which in nil IT""" we would ofler
praises to the Miijcsty oirhlgli.
On Tuesday January 13 1874 a new
Legislature will assemble in the State
capital with a large Democratic major-
ity lu each house. A few days later
all the State ofllcers with one excep-
tion will be sworn in and each one
will be a Democrat freshly chosen by
the people. DeOress tho Superin
tendent of Public Instruction will
hold over a year or more longer for
reasons unnecessary to state now.
Were he possessed of a sixteenth part of
true manhood he would resign and
let tho people's choice be sworn in.
He may have that sense of decency
and propriety. We will not prejudgo
him.
Then wo shall have arrived at a new
stage in our existence as a free sover-
eign and Independent State.
Tho question at ont'O looms up
"What ought the new LegM ature to
do ?" We have clear distiuet views on
tliis subject.
We say that our incoming Legisla-
ture should not attempt as our last
one was compelled to do by patch-
work to amend the Incongruous stat-
utes now on tho books. By no means.
The grand defect Is In the miserable
abortion called our State constitution
an instrument which like a wounded
viper is stinging iUelf to death. We
can have no wise and harmonions sys-
tem of statute laws until wo have a
new State constitution based on com
mon sense and tho experiences of our
American States in tho principles of
self-government We therefore lay
down as the basis of oil future action
that tho incoming Legislature should
as its first and chief act pass a series of
joint resolutions railing a State Con
vention to assemble about the first
Monday in May next to form a new
Slate constitution. That convention
to assemble on tho first Monday in
May next (1874) can form a constitu-
tion and submit it to bo voted on by
tho people say the first Monday in
August JS74 and at the same time let
all officers made elikilive pnder tho new
constitution bo yotei for aifovy fowit:
Supreme and District Judges Senators
ami Representatives and all other oili-
cers. so that In future tliero may bo -no
more confusion about the tenure of of-
fices. The new set of officers thus elected
at the time of ratifying tho new consti-
tution can ue sworn lu and the next
succeeding Legislature meet on the
first Monday in October 1874 and
thenceforward our Slate government
will be in harmonious operations and
the people relieved of present compli-
cations and obscurities will once more
have a clear and distinct yicw of their
State government their rights duties
and responsibilities. The people are
sick of uouipliculiuus' contradictions
and confusions and want a plain sim-
ple and cheap State government. All
these the next Legislature can secureor
provide for If they prove to be as
patriotic as Jast by showing a
willingness to vacate their own o!aca
in order to enable the people to be once
more free and self-governing.
Tlieso are our views and if we
thought that Arnzi Bradshaw as Sena-
tor or John H. Cochran A. K. Mid-
dletou or Joseph W. Kemble as Rep-
resentatives would pursue a different
course in order to serve two sessions
instead of one then we would not vote
for either one of them. But believing
them to be truo men and patriots we
shall vote for fliuiu and advise our
friends to no the name.
REV. J. W. P. Mc.HK.VZIE.
While we aro not' disposed to single
out individual members of tho Metho-
dist conference now in session in Dal-
las but are desirous of mentioning of
all strangers who come from other
conferences or States yet the most
sensitive will not object to our indica-
ting by name the presence of the Bev.
old Texas Father J. W. P. McKemtie
of Clarksville. Father McKcnzie
came to Texas In I860. For thirty
years he has enjoyed a rich fame as
President of McKcnzie institute. He
has educated more worthy Texas boys
now men than any living man.
For thirty-seven years he has been b
forptbe scrutinizing eye of a jealous
but generous Texas publlo and we
have yet to hear tho first man or wo-
man utter an unklud or disrespctful
word iu regard to him. What com-
ment on a life so long tried in a new
and ever changing country. Yet it is
true! Add to this the love Of young
and middle aged men scattered all
over this vast territory who regard
him as a second lather and we feel
Justified in saying Father McKenzie
thou art thrice welcome to Dallas.
In the some spirit a friend reared In
Dallas county from childhood sug-
gests Uiat no one will consider it in-
vidious for us to note the presence of
our venerable fellow-townsman Rev.
Abner Keen who has bem a citizen
here lor twenty-eight years and whose
whitened locks with a long life of pu-
rity commands thy esteem of aj who
know him .

have ever seen In Dallas. Many
fallsd to get iu and had to leave. W.
have rarely listened lo a more able
dlscourso. Tho venerablo Bishop
though seventy-two was In lino ti-
pearance and had the profound atten-
tion of his hearers throughout.
By the announcement from tho
stand we learned that tho Rev. Din.
Baldwin of Louisiana and Sargent of
Baltimore were present. The former
preachctl yesterday at 10 A. M. the
latter at 7 in the evening both to
large congregations and giving great
satisfaction.
Tho announcements for services on

the guest or Dr. A. M. Cochran.
Rev. Dr. Sargent of Baltimore Is
the guest of Colonel Garlington.
Rev. Dr. J. B. McFerriu is the guest
of Capt. S. J. Adams.
Wc have been unable to get a list of
tho ministers present from other States
or conferences. Our desiro is to pub-
lish nil of Interest concerning this
assemblage of one of the most intelli-
gent religious bodies ever yet mot
fne-i.tlmr in Xoith Texas. But our.
editor is absenton account of ill-health
aud our pro tern has multifarious duties
to perform. The resident minister
Rev. Mr. Thompson is necessarily too
much engrossed to be our reporter
and hence we are Just at this moment
greatly dependent on chance to get
facts.
The pretentions of the Radical pa-
pers and speakers that Texans expect
nothing from the Federal gov-
ernment but oppression unless we
elect the Radical ticket Is tho most
transparent piece of impudence we
ever witnessed In times of compara-
tive peaco. Itlnsulls our nihilhood
It outrages all that Is worth living for
in a free government. It Is an open
confession of the venality and con-
temptible meanness of tho Radical
party of Texas.
By their Insidious inuedoes we are
given to understand that unless we
abandon manhood trample upon hon-
or and show a readiness to mortgage
our souls' to the devil for a mere tem-
porary repose we shall bo deprived of
all the attributes of freemen. Shame
on such unholy and foul manifesta-
tions. We contemn anil dlsplsu them
and their authors.
Despite all threats of Federal bayo-
nets by Radicals ex-policemen ex-
school supervisors and all the instru-
ments aud agents of Radical outrages
in Texas we Intend to vote for Rich-

cratic ticket down to precinct ollicers.

That the annual Conference of the
Methodist Church and the Presbytery
of the Old School Presbyterian Church
are in session in Dallas at tho same
time. Both appointments were made
last year each in ignorance of the
other It wns only a few days since
that the clash was dlsuovurud when
Dr. Smith pastor of tho Presbyterian
church telegraphed to have tho Pres-
bytery postponed but too lato to ac-
complish the object. As it is no one
is to blame; but the ministers and
members of these two bodies arc much
to their regret debarred the privilege
of extending the usual Christian cour
tesies to each other. The usual services
wiU be held in all tho churches to-day
but outside of the Methodist church
we havp rjpt been furnished with the
names pf preachers lu other bodos at
the morning afternoon and evening
hours.
Thk dispatches of yesterday In rela-
tion to the affairs of Hoyt Sprague &

The party of Congressmen who left
here last week for tho Southwest
returned yesterday evening and are
stopping at tho Planters'. The excur-
sion penetrated Texas as far as Dallas
and was forced to turn back by the
prevalence of yellow fever in the
interior. These gentlemen had never
before visited tho Indian Nation but
the majority of them havo made up
their iiiiuds'in favor of having the gov-
ernment adopt nicnsiirps for turning
tills most valuable tract of land to
account. Tho return trip was made by
daylight over the Atlantic and i'acilio

afforded the honorable guests for gain-
ing an Idea of tho limitless mlxcra!

A Nashville man had occasion to go
to Memphis over the Northwestern
Road lust week. There were but few
passengers aboard and during the
night the conductor cumo and sat down
by him. "Goin' to Memphis aro you
stranger?" he asked. "Yes. sirj" said
the Nashville man. "Mighty rough
road ain't it?" queried the conductor
with a yawn. "Very" was the reply.
VLast time I went over the road this
car we're now jn was upst and a man
was killed all to smash" said the com
luunidative ticket-puncher with an-
other yawn. Then he added: "I've
got tho most reckless engineer on the
road with me to-night too: but I hope
we won't have any accidents." "I
certainly hope we will not" responded
the passeuger with a feeliug of uneasi-
ness. "Well I don't know as it would
make much diliVrence to you" said
the couductor cheerfully; ''.you'll fie
anyway if you're " n'oiu' to Memphis."
A oenti.kman out West recently pur-
chased a high-spirited horse that had
never tieenshoU. On tho smith attcni-
tiug to shoe him he resisted all efforts
kicked aside every thing and nearly
crippled himself against the anvil
when he was finally returned to his sta-
ble unshod. Iu despair hisowuvr was
about consigning him to the plow when
au ofllcer who had fought iu the Mex:
(oat) war took a cord nliout the size of
a common bed cord put it in the mouth
of the horse like a hit and tied it tight
y on the animal's head passing his
left ear under the Wring not painfully
tight but tight enough to keep the ear
down aud the cord in its place. This
done lie patted the horse gently on the
side of the head and com in uu (led him
to follow and instantly the horseoliiy-
ed perfectly sulslued and as gentle aud
obedient as a well-trained dog su tiering
his feet to be lifted with entire impuni-

by one of our most respectable citi-

years ago died leaving a fortune of
throe millions to bo divided between
one son and three danuhteis During
his life the merchant had been a close-
listed skinflint denying himself the
common necessaries of life that he
might amass a fortune and leave his
son a man ot wealth. The smi soon
found the destiny In store for him and
early began the llfV of a fast young
man. He married young woman who
uitiiuj'lil oniy oi uis wealth and made
her as unhappy as she deserved. His
father died leaving the young man an
