A Welsh girl once applied to a
clergyman to be married. The
clergyman asked her what proper-
ty her husband possessed. The
answer was, “Nothing." And are
you any better off?" he asked.
The reply was in the negative
“Then why, in the name of com-
mon sense, do you dare to marry?"

We have not the date before us,
butourrecolection is that in 1861
there were about 31,000 votes
polled in favor of secession, and
14,000 against it, making the to-
tal vote cast on this question some-
where about 45,000, in the pre-
ceeding election for Governor
( 1859 ) 73,757 votes were re-
turned as the official vote, and
sometounties were* not returned,
which wduld have the vote about
65,000. On account of the dissat-
isfaction with the nmination of
Gov. Runnels, many persons did
not vote. It is fair to estimate
that in 1861 the vote of the State
must have been 80,000. The cen-
sus of 1860 showed 110,000 white
males, 20 years of age and up-
wards* Discounting, then, the
number of foreigners, and those
who had not been in the State
long enough to be entitled to vote
in 1861, at the time of the vote on
secession, it is .safe to say the num
ber of votes was as above stated
Only 55,000 of these voted on the
question.
We have been thus particular
in order to call attention to an as-

cals in this State; and doubtless in-

ty is composed of the old seces-
sion party of 1861, when nothing
can be further from the truth, as
the above figures, and the result of
the last election for Governor will
s how.
We see by these facts, that in
1861. at least 35,000 of the voters
of Texas did not vote on the ques-
tion of Secession. In our judgment
25,000 of the 35,000 who did not

1861. Then add the other 10,000
to the 31,000 favoring secession,
and it will be seen that there was
very little difference in the rela-
tive strength of the parties at that
date. If there is any error in this
calculation it is in giving the se-

MARSHALL? TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1868.
Among the thousands of gold-
seekers who landed in Sacramento
in the summer of the year 1849, on
their way to the placeres on the
South, Middle and North forks of
the American river, was a prepos
sessing looking gentleman of the
name of Bardie. His only compan-
ion was his Son a lad of some four-
teen years blit who, notwithstand-
ing his youth; was sharp, shrewd
and intelligent. Mr. Hardie was
what might be called, as the fash -
ionable phrase goes, a “reticent
man." Be had onte been wealthy
but his passion for gaming had
ruined him. He was hot a profes-
sional. Indeed, he looked with con-
tempt upon all who kept games of
chance: but his personal dislike
for such characters did no t pre-
vent him from risking his motley
upon the turn of a card, or the cast
of the dice. His son, fully aware
of his fathers only failing, sought by
every possible means to keep him
from the table, in the hope, vain
though it was, that the passion
would lose its hold upon him, and
that eventually he would be thor-
oughly weaned from cards.
Hardie landed in Sacramento
with about one hundred dollars in
money—the last of his once ample
fortune—and without an hour’s de-
lay, rushed for the mines which
had just been discovered to the
eastward of Coloma, (formerly Sut-
tersville,) where it was rumored
very rich veins had been discover-
ed.
By a fortunate chance, Hardie and
his son made the acquaintance on
the road of two honest hearted, ad-
venturous sailors, and together
they determined to prospect the
country.

struggle They were to sustain
the supremacy of our white race,
and prevent the Africanization of
the States of the Union and the
protection of • our own State of
Ohio from hybridation. They were
to raise from the shoulders of a
suffering and over-taxed and op-
pressed dcople the burdens about
to be put on them, and t lead theni
who did not vote. We are
strengthened in this view by the
fact that the question of Union and
disunion entered largely in the
canvass between Gen. Houston and
Gov. Runnels, and the numbers
herein given to the Union party
are only a few thousand more than
actually voted for Gen. Houston
nearly two years before; Besides,
it is well known that the excitew
ment and enthusiasm of the press
had the people in various locali-
ties of the State kept from the
polls many prudent and quiet men,
who were strongly opposed to the
movement ; and all that class who
doubted and hesitated should really
be classed with the Union party.
It is certainly true that the excite-
ment was such that the great bulk
of those in favor of secession cast
their votes for it. These facts and
figures show that, while the great
majority of the old secession party
belong to the present Conservative
party of the State, it is equally
true that the great bulk of the
Union party of Texas also belongs
to it. And while it may be true
also that the 12,000 votes past for
Governor Pease a majority were
perhaps of the old Union party, it
cannot be denied that a large pro-
portion was also cotittibtited b the
secession party of 1861. t will be
remembered that Mr. Cushing, and
Mr. Wiley, and others who had
been prominent in the secession
movement, were among tli vefy
first to express a prefference for
Gov. Pease, and niaty old person-
al, and former political friends sus-
tained him who differed with him
in 1861. Then this charge that the
present conservative party of
Texas is composed of the old se-
cession party falls to the ground
But we are not left to the foregoing
facts alone in order to arrive at
accurate conclusions on this sub-
ject. Take the prominent leaders
of the Union party of 1861, and see
where they now stand. With the
Conservative party are to be found
Judge L. D. Evans, Epperson,
the Hancocks, the Robards, Knox,

A Jerseyman Outwitted.— Acuns
ning trick was performed in New
Ark on Friday last. A stranger
who pretended to be tipsy slipped
on the step in front of a machinery
wareroom near the Market street
depot and broke a large plate glass
window. The proprietors demand-
ed payment, but the man pretended
that he had no money. One of the
partners proposed that the culprit
be searched. This was done, and
the owner of the window was re-
warded by finding a one handred
dollar bill in his pocket. He im-
mediately changes, handing the in-
ebriate $88 To this the stranger
made no objection, but staggered
on, and was soon lost to sight. In
a short time the machinists had oc-
casion to make- a deposit, and the
one hundred dollar bill was sent to
bank. It was returned as a coun-
terfeit, The strangea has not been

then the latter said in calm but not
altogether steady voice.
"The bank will .receive no more
bets to night. It is closed!"
The announcement that the bank
had been broken seemed to release
the tongues of the spectators, who
instantly set up a cheer at the un-
wanted event.
"Father! father!" cried the lad
“The bank is broke! All this is
yours! Come!"
There was no movement.
A stranger took hold of the arm
which Hardie had placed on the ta-
ble and with an oath declared that
he believed that the man was stup-
idly drunk, and didn’t know what
he was about. As he attemp-
ted to remove the hand, lie
suddenly started back; but be-
fore he could open his lips to ex-
press his astonishment, Hardie's
head fell heavily forward and
struck the table.
A slight examination told the
sad tale. The poor gambler was
dead!
Subsequent inquiry proved that
he had died of a disease of the
heart, brought about by undue ex-
citement.
The bankers not forgetting their
interest, set up a claim for the
money they had lost; but this was
overruled. It was given to the
boy, who without unnecessary de-
lay returned to the States. What
became of him afterwards I never
learned.
The body of the dead gambler
lies a little ways out of Sacramento.
No tombstone marks the spot
where the infatuated man sleeps
his last sleep. -
Hardie had won! Fortune had at
last smiled on him. His bet was
added to by the banker. Was he
akout to try his luck the second
time ? Yes! He made no negative
movetoefit.
Again the cards were dealt from
the box; and again Hardie’s fortune
was in the ascendant! But to the
surprise of the bankers and specta-
tor he permitted his winnings to re-
main on the fortunate card?
For nine successive deals the
queen turned up favorable to the
bettor. It was extraordinaty !
Arrange the pack as the dealer
might, an expert at the game, the
card at each distribution, on which
Hardie had placed his last hundred
dollars, would turn in his favor!
The hundreds had rapidly increas-
ed to thousands of dollars. At
length, so exceedingly heavy had
the bets become, that the entire
company in the saloon gathered
around the table, and wondered at
the temerity of the man who dared
so much for as all knew, one ad-
verse card and the bank would
again have in its possession the
enormous pile of gold that now
like a huge pyramid, glittered over
and completely obscured the queen.
The man's either drunk, asleep
or a tool," whispered a bystander,
just as the winning card tured up
for the eighth time, “or wouldn't
risk so much.
“Father, father! whispered the
boy, as he saw with nervous ex-
citement the wealth which was each
minute increasing at his parent's
side, at the same time dreading
with those around its sudden loss.
Again and for the last time the
queen turned up, and to the utter
amazement of the spectators on the
side of the bettor.
speedy restoration of the Union.
We have been an attentive ob-
server of passing events, and have
honestly endeavored to mature a
judgment as to the future of the
State under radical rule, unbiassed
by any prejudice whatever. And
we now say to those of our old.
Union friends, vho have acted or

of this State, if yot are not in fa-
vor of social and political equality

State under the domination of the
negro race, with the few whites
who will aid them, you must ho
longer give them your aid encodra
agement. Eighteen months ago
there was scarcely a man in the
State who believed Gov. Pease or
Judge Bell would ever advocate
negro suffrage. Yet it has hp.
pened ; and the excuse is, that ne-
gro suffrage will place the State
under the control of Southern loy-
alists. It may be so, that the rad-
ical leaders would enjoy the first

We copy as follows from the
special Washington dispatch of the
St. Louis Democrat (Radical) dated
the 14 th inst.:
The principal subject of conver-
sation to-day in political Circles
was the War office business, Gen.
Grant appeared at the office soon
after 9 o’CloCk and spent a few
minutes there. He locked the
doors of tlie private root, put the
key in his pocket; and at onte re-
turned to army headquarter on
the opposite side of the street.
Mr. Stanton arrived at the depart-
ment about 10 o’clock, and walked
in to the ante room and received
the Congratulations of several
who had gathered there, while an
officer on duty went over to head-
quarters to get the key. Ue came
back with the key, which was de-
livered by Gen. Grant’s direction
to Adjutant Gen. Townsend; chief
officer in the building in the ab-
sence of the head of the depart-
ment, who handed it over to Air.
Stanton. Being thus in possession
of the key of office, Mr. Stanton
unlocked the door, and then re-
sumed his duties as Secretary of
War.
The first business he did was to
receive a delegation of gentlemen
from Tennessee who called to urge
the Secretary, whom they supposed
on entering, to be Gen. Grant, to
continue the freedmen’s Bureau in
their State till summer. Mr. Stan-
subsequently became famous as
the “Oregon," and there succeed-
ed in securinga claim that amply re-
paid the adventurers for their time
and labor. At the expiration of
four months the company had real-
ized twenty thousand dollars. This
was equally divided—one half be-
ing handed to Hardie and his son;
while the other moiety wereetains
ed by their colaborers. When the
divtsion had been satisfactorily
made, Hardie became suddenly
restless He intimated a desire to
return to Sacramento, there to en-
gage in some mercantile pursuit for
which his early educated had fitted
him; and he offered to sell his own
and his son’s interest to the sailors
These men were reluctant to part
with him The lad was also averse
to the proposition, but Hardie
persisted in his resolution, and fi-
nally disposed of his claim for
twenty five hundred dollars.
On returning to Sacramento fa-
ther and son, as the reader per-
ceives, had the snug little capital
of upward twelve thousand dollars
to begin on. Had Hardre as he
honestly intended when at Oregon
cannon, at once embarked in trade
he could have in a few months
trebled if not quadrupled his capi-
tal, and perhaps in the course of a
two years could have returned
to the Atlantic States with a for-
tune quite as large as he was mas-
ter of before the mania for gam
biing came upon him.
Unfortunately for him, however,
before he had fully arranged his
mercantile projects, he renewed his
acquaintance with a gentleman
who, like himself, had been addic-
ted to gambling, and was by him
induced to visit the empire Saloon,
at that time the leading "hell" of
the town, where faro, monte, rouge et
noir, and other games of chance
were openly played—a “hell"where
miners, after months of exposure,
perhaps sickness, and always hard
labor, would lose their hundreds
or thousands dollar in a single
night, and then be compelled to re-
turn to the diggings with sadden-
ed hearts to win from the rivers
and hills those smiles which for'
tune had denied them at the tables
of the Gamblers.
Hardie had barely entered the
Saloon wlen his old thirst returned
to him; and even before he was
fully conscious of hi* action he
found himself seated ata faro ta-
ble. Unfortunately again for Har-
die, he rose from it the winner of a
thousand dollars.
The passion for gambling once
aroused in the man, and he could
no more restrain himself from
indulging in it, than a broken-down
thirsty toper keeping his lips from
tasting the fiery potation that
stimulates and poisons.
The next night and the next Har‛
die was at the table; now how~
ever accompanied by his son
who with tears in his eyes, stood
into a new career of prosperity, How Mr. Stanton took Possession
the table, but none had adventured
so heavily as Hardie, and they took
their losses or their Winning with
some degree of equanimity.
And amid the silence might be
heard' the noise of the cards as
they were drawn therefrom and drop1
on their seperate piles.
"Lost" said the dealer in a low
smooth inonotonousgtone, and erethe
sound of his voice had died away
nearly all the bets on the table were
either paid or swept to the side of
the banker.
‘The queen wins/' he added in the
same indifferent tone.
And before the annoucement the
queen wins had been made, the boy
George observed that his father's
body slightly quivered, as if with
suppressed emotion, and then re-
mained passive as before. Yes!

"What are woman’s spear T1
asked a woman’s rights man of a
literal old codger, and then answer
himself—“ it air the domestic
hearth, sir." The old codger
scratched his head a moment, and
then said, ".But if her house is
heated with furnaces, and she aint
got no hearth, what air her speer
then ?"
and. these same issues are to be
settled in the coming contest, not
only in our State but in the whole
country. And if the people of
Ohio will do their duty as they
have in the past, whoever shall be
selected as the standard bearer of
the Democracy will have the pleas-
ure and honor of placing them in
victory and power in the seats of
national power.
[From the Louisville Courier.]
We have already published in
our telegraphic columns a full re-
port of the resolutions and nomi-
nations of the Democratic Conven-
tion at Columbus, Ohio, on the 8th
inst. We take the following inter-
esting extract from the Enquirer’s
report of the same meeting :
The Nomination of Mr. Rendle
ton for President—Extraordinary
Scene—I have just witnessed a
scene which will long be remem-
bered in the political history of
Ohio, and Which is destined to have
a tremendous influence upon the
future politics of the country, go
intense, so universal, was the feel-
ing in lavor of the Hon. George H
Pendleton as the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency of the
United States, that this great rep-
resentation of the Ohio Democracy,
in State Convention, broke through
all usual customs and precedents
in order to give it expression.
Immediately after the appoint-
ment of the ordinary committee re-
lating to the business of the con-
vention, a resolution was moved
that all resolutions be referred to
tho Committee on Resolutions with-
out debate At this juncture Gen-
eral George W. McCook, of Jeff-
erson, arose, and stated that other
conventions were in session, and
that, if the matter was delayed,
Ohio might not have the honor of
first presenting her favorite son for
the Presidency, the Hon. George
H. Pendleton. He therefore moved
an amendment that all forms and
preliminaries be dispensed with,
and that without waiting for any
report from the Committee on Res-
olutions, the Democracy of Ohio do
now nominate Mr. Pendleton, and
send greeting to other State con-
ventions which are now in session.
The amendment was vociferously
seconded from all quarters of the
house with loud and deafning cries
for the question. The amendment
was then offered by Judge Tarbill;
of Brown. It was put by the tem-
whole convention rising and giving
three cheers He was then intro-
duced by Hon; n. J. Jewett in
some beautiful and appropriate im
promptu remarks, to which Mr.
Pendleton made a brief but most
feeling and eloquent response.—
The whole scene was one that will
never be erased from the memory
of those who witnessed it. The
spectators participated warmly in
the whole proceedings, and vied
with the convention in demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm.
This is beyond all doubt, the
greatest compliment that was ever
paid by any convention to an Ohio
Democrat, and it indicates the
wonderful hold which Mr. Pendle-
ton has acquired on the affections
of the Democracy of his native
State. Never since the days of
General Jackson were the Democ-
racy of Ohio so united for a Pres-
idential candidate. It will acquire
the greatest significance abroad,
when it is known that the friends
of both the candidates for United
States Senator—Judge Thurman
and Hon. C. L Vallandigham —
united in it, and it was hard to say
which of them manifested the
greatest satisfaction at the result.
All former divisions in the party
were ignored. Those heretofore
classed as “ War Democrats” and
those stigmatized as “ Peace men,”
vied with each other in doing honor
to Ohio’s noble son.
The Convention is a complete
success. Old veterans admit that
it is by far the best they ever at-
tended. It is characterised by that
remarkable peculiarity which ala
ways indicates success—that un-
doubting confidence which secures
it.
Pease would trt comipetent and
honest white then out of office, am'
fill their place with negroes. Yet
in his gratitude for the honors
which the people have heretofore
bestowed upon him, he has done
this thing. Upon his recommend-
ation nearly all your State and
county and municipal officers havl
been removed, when it is notoriou
that hundreds of them were as
firm and consistent Union men as
the Governor himself. It is an in-
sult to the intelligence of the coun-
try to say that they were ‘imped-
iments' or‘obstructions' toretona
struction. The military are not to
blame for these removals. They
have been assiduously taught to
believe that your best men were
disloyal and rebellious. We be-
lieve not a single removal would
have been made; and that in the
main every thing votld have
worked smoothly between the mil-
itary and State authorities, if it had
not been for the machinations of
Pease and Bell and others of that
class.

The Hancock Message,
The Chicago Times, has the fol-
lowing notice of the message of
President Johnson, in communica-
ting to Congress the celebrated
General Order issued by Maj. Gen.
Hancock, in Louisiana. The Times
says .
The President’s message to Con-
gress concerning Gen. Hancock, is
a very remarkable document. It is
remarkable for the dignity of its
style and the sincerity of its tone.
It is more remarkable for the pro-
priety, and almost studied Courtesy
of every word and expression. But
it is most remarkable for what
the philosopher, A Ward, would
have called its "sarkasum ’’
It is not sarcasum in the correct
meaning of that term, for it is in no
respect personal. It is decorous
and dignified to the last degree, and
in no word or syllable transcends
the limit of the most exacting dip-
lomatic rules. Yet, as a specimen
of concealed satire, its equal proba-
bly cannot be found in the whole
range of English literature

though this was cabinet day.—
Gen. Pope was with him for some
time. He left the office at 4
o’clock. lie gave his customary
directions to clerks and messengers,
and then went over to headquar-
ters, when he rode with Gen.
Grant to.the house of the latter.
There is a great deal of talk as
to what Mr. Stanton will do ton
morrow. The Democrats and Con-
servatives all insist that he cannot
in decency remain in the office, but
must at once resign. It cannot be
learned that he has indicated his
ptrpose to any one.
The following letter, drawn up
by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, was
circulated in the House for signa-
tures, and sent to Mr. Stanton this
afternoon. All to whom it was
presented signed it, except Logan,
Banks and Carey :
WVASHINGTON, January 14.— Hon.
E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War :
We respectfully request you to
continue as Secretary of War.
Since the passage of the Tenure of
Office law you have been the of-
ficer of the people, and not remova-
ble without the consent of the Sen-
ate, and you ought not to resign
unless the people demand it. They
expect you to retain your place.

Gen. Grant, during the forenoon,
sent a note to the President, in-
forming him that he had retired
from the War Office, and between
12 and 1 the President sent Grant
a request to appear at the Cabinet
meeting. The General went to
the White House and remained an
hour, when he left for home. At
the close of business hours he took
Stanton into his carriage. He had
a number of friends at his house
this evening, to one of whom he
said that the action of the Senate,
had not caused him the least em-
barrassment, and that he was en-
tirely clear in the conviction that
his duty was to retire from the
War Office in response to that ac-
tion.

Office—Up stairs, joining the Flag
office, over the store house of W. H. Bris-
tle capital gradually passing into
hands of the "bankers" of the game.
He, the poor boy, had entreated his
parent not to indulge in the wild
intoxication—to save, his money,
and if he could not engage in le-
gitimate business either return to
the mines or his home in the far
East. He might as well have at-
tempted to pursuade the hardened
wretches who were swindling his
father to return to the paths of rec-
titude-of honest dealing.
On the third night Hardie found
himself the owner of about five
hundred dollars. His thousands
had already passed out of his
hands.
"I will win it all back or lose
the remainder before I rise," he
muttered. "Poor George," he ad-
ed as he glanced at his son; "I
ought not for the boy's sake, to
huve given up to my besetting sin.
But I could not help myself."
The next moment his mind was
absorbed in the game. Fortune’seem
ed to be against him. In a few mo-
ments he had but a hundred dollars
left. This he boldly placed on the
queen and awaited the result. Thus
waiting, he leaned the elbow of the
left’arm on the edge of the table
his body resting on the arm chair;
and while a fresh pack of cards
were being shuffled, hid his face
in the open palm of his hand.
