morning, prices for low middling have
ranged from 271 to 30c. One of the re-

The Conservatives in other parts
of the State of Texas, have held
county meetings for the purpose
of organization and the selection
of representatives to a State con-
vention which is recommended to
be held about the first of June . The
object of that State Convention is to
nominate an electoral ticket for the
State in the coming Presidential
immortal cause. They are gone—it is liv-
ing. Nor steel, nor lead, could touch its
life and take'it away. It is living in the
loves of Southern hearts—it is living in
the memories of the Southern dead—it is
living in the stories which Southern mo-
thers are telling their little children—it is
living in the sorrows and tears of widows
and orphans. And we shall keep it alive.
The right of our cause did not fall with
Richmond It exists to-day as clearly as
it did when the first boom of our guns
sounded across the Carolina waters, and
when the Palmetto flag—’mid the ringing
of bells, anu the rapture of gladdened
hearts and the sounding of cheers which
the shore sent over the sea—waved in tri-
umph over Sumpter. And on that April
day when Lee gave up his sword bright and
unblemished as when he first girded it on,
he yielded merely, and only, the policy of
further resistance—not the principle which
had lifted that resistance into a right and
sanctified it as a duty. Right began our
struggle, right justified it and ennobled it,
right animated our soldiers, right made
them strong to suffer, -strong to endure ;
right made them brave to dare, and, bra-
vest of all, to die; right marched with
them, step by step, into every gory field :
right flashed in the sheen of their swords,
and thundered in the boom of their can-
nons in every fray ; right wreathed a glo-
ry around their banners wherever their
banners were borne; right consecrated
their victories and consoled them in their
defeat, right lit in their hearts the flames
of that heroism which blazed out into
deathless deeds ; right nerved them to ev-
ery sacrifice they made, to every hardship
they endured ; right lit in beacon-fires of
glory on the plains of Manassas, on the
heights of Fredericksburg, in the swamps
of the Chickahominy. in the trenches of
Richmond, on the mountains of Tenenssee
in the battle-fields of Kentucky, on the
soil of Georgia, on the seaboare of the
seaboard of the Carolinas, in the wilds be-
yond the Mississippi ; and now, right
stands amid our ruins and graves, and

managers saw that this would be
the case, and hence they were for
rushing the trial through, as Butler
said, at Railroad speed, without al-
lowing the Presidents counsel any
time for their replication, but in
this they were overruled by the
Senate. Their idea was to proceed
with rapidity, in order to inspire
the Senate with the conviction that
the interests of the Republican
party, which in their minds were
paramount to every other consider-
ation, imperatively demanded the
deposition of the President, and

gle pass into oblivion. We must keep them
alive and aglow—we must pass them down
—we must make our children proud of
them. There is not a deed of the struggle
of which we may feel ashamed. We owe
it to the past to preserve the story of our
late struggle, and the future will not for-
give us if we fail to record it. And in re-
cording it we must not use words of apolo-
gy, as though we doubted of the righteous-
ness of our cause; but, plainly and fear-
lessly, true to ourselves, to our cause,
to our country—true to the dust of the
dead at our feet—true to the spirits of
those who were so true to us—true to th
living in their terrible loss—true to the
future which is coming down to ask of us
vindication of our course and the story of
our past—we must declare, and still de-
clare, and never cease declaring, in words
as brave as our warriors were that in the
dread struggle in which our flag went
down with not a stain of dishonor on the
virgin purity of its folds. Justice stood on
the side of the men that wore the Gray.
And Justice has not changed sides because
we have been defeated—unconquered and
unconquerable Justice is still with the
conquered. The success of our cause has
been lost—not its right; for failure can
never make right wrong; nor can success
transform the iniquity of wrong into the
sacredness of right. Brute force goes down
into battlefields not to test the rightful-
ness of causes but to try the strength of
combatants. The success of the sword is
no argument in favor of the cause for which
it has been unsheathed. The surrender of
the sword is no argument against the
cause which drew it frow the scabbard.
Shot and shelldo not reason—they slaugh-
ter—and slaughter be it more or less is
only slaughter— it is no argument for or
against the rights of those who kill or are
killed. Bullets may mangle flesh—spill
blood— slay men — but they can never
reach the vital principles for which men
contend. These principles are beyond the
range of musket or cannon. Battlefields
may be the burial places of men— never
of rights. Above the smoke and storm
and shock of battles unaffected by victory
or defeat, calm, and immovable, Justice
sits on her eternal throne, and in
her eyes right is righ forever
—wrong is eternally wrong—
and trampled right is grander than trium-
phant wrong. From the decisions against
us in the court of battle, we therefore ap-
peal; and these decisions we carry up to
the high tribunal of Justice, for reversal.
This, and this alone, was settled by battle
—that we were the weaker party. Wo
had less brute force on our side and we
were obliged to yield to the superior
strength of our northern assailants. The
armies and government of the^Confederacy
were but the mortal flesh and blood of an

annexed came to pass. Some of
Baldwin's predictions were fulfilled,
why not, then, this? At all events
let ’er come :
Two yGars ago Rev. Mr. Baldwin,
in a sermon preached at Mount Nan
bo Church, in Marion county, Tenn.,
predicted that there would break
out in the year 1868 a war in the
north between the political parties
of that section. That it would be
very fierce and comparatively short,
that the constitutional party would
triumph, and the original constitu,
tion would be re-established, and
permanent peace restored to the
country. In this war the south was
to take no part. And it will not be
forgotten with what solemn ear-
nestness the preacher continued :
“ Brethren, there are many of
you here who will be living to see
these things I have foretold. When
you see these things come to pass,
you may recall to mind what I have

Paraguayans claim that in the recent na-
val fight their Zinco boats obtained a de-
cided siccess over Barzilean iron clads,
the fighting being short and casualties on
both sides heavy, but no definite accout of

journal, De St. Petersburg, says the Em-
peror of Russia has consented to grant de
lay of payment by the U. S. of the sum
stipulated in treaty for the transfer of the
Territory of Alaska, and time of payment
is now assigned for first of May. The
Journal feels that the American Congress
will vote the necessary’ appropriations.
Washington, April 15.—The dedication
of the Lincoln monument took place this
p. m. in front of the City Hall. The Mon-
ument, consisting of twin pillars thirty
five feet high, surmounted by colossal
statue of Lincoln of white marble, all of
which was procured by voluntary contri-
butions of citizens of Washington, cost
$7,000. Thousands of spectators were
present, including Masonic orders, Sons of
Temperance, and other civil organizations.
On the stand, among others, were the
President of the United States, Gen. Hana
cock, and other military and naval offi-
cers, connected with executive depart-
ments, members of Congress, and a large
representation of foreign countries. Gens.
Grant and Howard were near but not on
the stand After prayer and playing of a
dirge by the bauds, Maj. French delivered
an address on the lite and services of
Abraham Lincoln, at the conclusion of
which the band played “ Rous Des Vo
Ches,” and Col. Almstead recited a poem,
when the President of the United States
was conducted to the front of the plat-
form, and the pulling of the halyards un
veiled the statue. Shout after shout was
given by the dense assembly, the band in
the meantime playing an air, while the
star spangled banner was waved on the
platform. After introduction and bene-
diction, ceremonies ended.

principle; .
“By birth and sentiment we are of the
South. Dearer than all other interests, of
this world, to us, are those of our own
laud. Over these interests we shall watch.
Firmly and faithfully we shall defend them
and more so now than ever when these in-

Doctor during the night heard some

made a search, but failed to dis-

last time, and yet the bold thief
subsequently entered his sleeping
apartment, and bore off the Doctor’s
wearing apparel which he had just
pulled off, boots and all, and plun-
dered the smoke-house of some three
hundred pounds of meat, accom-

We have not received a copy of
Norton’s Intelligencer since it re-
sumed its publication, and hence
we have just had this paragraph
brought to our notice. We are
very loth to believe that there is
any truth in the statement in re-
ference to Judge Evans, and we
should be very much surprised to
know that he ever authorized the
editor of Norton’s Intelligencer to
speak for him. If he is unqual-
ifiedly in favor of negro suffrage,
we must confess that we have been
grossly in error, as to what his
opinions are. However, should
this statement be correct, which
we shall not believe until we have
better authority for so doing, there
is one thing certain, he never
could become as dishonest, as dem-
agogical, or as violently and irre-
trievable niggerized in politics as
the leaders of the radical party in
Eastern Texas.
Judge Evans has left this place
for Washington city, and when he
returns, we have no doubt, will be
pleased to give his views upon the
ing witness as an officer of the army in the
matter. President replied that it couldn’t
be done, but if it could be brought before
the court, Stan ton’s ease wouldn’t stand
an hour. Stanberry asked a question.
Butler objected. Chase ruled Stanberry
could ask questions relative to facts elici-
ted by Senator Johnson in his question.
Appealed. Debate ensued, pending which
Butler asked whether question was put by
Senator from Maryland as counsel for Pres-
ident ? Mr. Johnson from his seat admin-
istered Butler a sharp rebuke. Butler was
abashed. Finally Sherman proceeded :
At first interview nothing very definite,
said by either ; during second, President
expressed desire to have the constitution-
ality of tenure of office bill tested by Sher-
man Stanton would offer no resistance.
Sherman did not know Stanton as well as
the President who knew Stanton as a cow-
ard.
Sherman gave no positive answer in
writing. Senator Henderson asked:
“Did President on either occasion express
firm determination to remove Stanton
from office? ”
Sherman answered : “The President
never expressed his intention to use force,
but seemed determined that their rela-
tions should cease.”
Senator Howe asked, “What did the
President say about force ?”
Sherman repeated, “The President’s be-
lief was that Stanton would not resist.”
Henderson asked whether Sherman gave
the President advice. Senate refused to
hear answer. Managers summoned Sher-
man for to-morrow and he left the stand.

sumed, and adjourned.

speaks thus of the appearance of Mr.
Evarts on Monday : His tail, attenuated
form looked, when he stood up to speak
as if the very draught through the door-
ways might make it bend and quiver
An expression of physical suffering seem-
ed to rack his delicate features, although
his lipshad not a tremor about them
One conceived at the first glance that
there was a .man whose persistent and
ambitious will had been and would ever
be exercised to its utmost to surmount
the Weaknees of a feeble constitution.
When he opened his lips, magnetic tones
surprised and charmed the many who had
not guessed what music may proceed
from a highly strung and nervous organ-
ization, and as his eyes blazed out occa-
sionally from their pale caverns and his
cheeks took on the hectic color, the Sen-
ate became hushed to listen. Mr. Evarts
was the star of the day’s brief and inde-
cisive debate.” Of Judge Curtis he
says “ His attire, like that of every
one of the counsel beside him, was scru-
pulously neat, and lent.au additional
charm to his faultless demeanor on the

one U. S. mule. The Indians saw
them coming while more than a

they had the advantage; but Capt
Chaffee ordered them to go at
a full speed and overtake them or
kill the horses in the attempt. Ev-
ery Indian was killed that he saw

for on coming down into a ravine
before over taking them, he came
right into their camp which seemed
to be a permanent one. Therefore
there must have been more Indians

, A Cool Proceeding.—Sunday evening
last an amusing little scene was witnessed
■ by a portion of the audience at one of
our fashionable churches. While the ser-
mon was being delivered a lady delibe-
rately removed her hat, took down ber
back hair by the usual operation of re-:
moving the comb, and taking out, one by
one. seventy or eighty hair ping. The
raven locks fell upon her shoulders, and
the people, instead of attending to the
sermon, looked for the next movemens
It came in several quiet, satisfactory, en- ’
joying movements of the comb down the.
back of the head and through the haig.
Instead of attending to the sermon peo-
ple still continued to watch the lady.
The hair was then gathered in both hands,
dexterously retwisted, the comb inserted,
those seventy-five hair pins ( and it seemed
as if they never would be all put in) re-
placed one by one, the short hairs on the
neck tucked under, and finally the hat
was resumed, and the lady turned her at
tention to the minister with greater ease
and more zeal than did the amused au-
dience.—[Utica Herald

The report, by telegraph, that the

a number of counties, including
those which have gave the largest
negro vote and the majority against
the constitution as far as beard from

There were two boxes at each
precinct, known as the civil and
the military. The officers of both
State and county were voted for by
the radicalsalone at the “civil boxes
while all the Democrats voted at
the military boxes against the con~

The Houston correspondent of 1

give publicity to the facts stated:
"Capt. Chaffee has returned crown-
ed with victory. He overtook the
Indians at Paint Creek, and after a
bull, Van Winkle. Gen' Sherman left
stand. Recess.
Clerk of district supreme court, called.
After contest, proceedings attending Thom-

instance of Senator Johnson who asked
“when the Presidszt tendered you the
office of secretary of war, betwe6? the 20th
and 30th of January, did he state what his
purpose was in so doing?’’ Objection.
Senate heard answer by 26 to 22. An-
swer “yes.” Senator Johnson asked
“ will you state what he sail his purpose
was?” Objection. Chase decided that
the question was admissible as it tended
to show in part the Presidents action
Chase sustained by 26 to 25. Sherman
commenced when Butler interfered. Sher
man thought best to proceed in his
own way. President told Sherman that
under the relations of Stanton towards
other members of the cabinet and the
President, that the President could not
have the war department administered
properly for the interests of army and
whole country, while Stanton remained
secretary, A desire to promote and care
for those interests the President tendered
Sherman the position of secretary of war.
Sherman asked President why President
did not have case made up by lawyers so
as to bring about change without involv-
Horrible Murder.
We learn through a gentleman
from Upshur, that a horrid murder
has been committed in that county
some 7 or 8 miles South of Gilmer
near the Hagan’s Ferry road, upon
the person of a negro boy some 15
or 16 years of age.
The circumstances as related to us
were about these : The negro had
been at work for a gentleman by
the name of Jeter, with whom
some of the family had some diffi,
culty. At night the negro was
seen by Mr. Jeter’s son in the horse
lot with a rope in his hand, and on
being asked by the young man
what he was doing there, replied
that the horse was fighting the colt
and he intended to tie him up.
Ine next morning young Jeter and
Mi. Barlow arrested the negro on
a charge of horse stealing, took
him before a Justice of the Peace
who upon hearing the evidence,
said he would have to discharge’
the negro as there was not evidence'
sufficient to convict him of the
crime. The gentlemen who had
him in charge started with him to
Gilmer, but after being gone sev-
eral hours, returned, remarking that
the prisoner had escaped from them
up about Gum branch, some six
miles on their route to Gilmer.
This occurred some time between
the first and tenth of March. Some
few morning’s since, a lad in the
neighborhood of Gum branch was:
out turkey hunting and found the-
negro hung to a Dogwood limb, his
knees upon the ground, with evi-
dent marks of having been killed
and then hung up to the tree in the
position he was found. Circum-
stances lead to the suspicion of
young Mr. Jeter and Mr Barlow,
his brother-in law. who, getting
item of the facts, have fled from
the county.
The perpetrators, of so foul a
deed should be hunted up and puns
ished to the extent of the law, and
it is the duty of every good citizen
to aid in bringing such violators of
all law, both human and divine, to
justice. The case should be report-
ed to the Grand Jury, and by them
to the Governor ; and a reward
should be offered for their appre.
