Of Mew York
For Vice-President,
Francis P. Blair.
Of
From lack of space and the press-
ure on our columns, the commnnica
tion from Mr. Woodward is respect-
fully declined.
Democratic Clubs are organized
in every ward in Howton. 'Tis a
pity that we cannot organize one,
even, in Hempstead.
Evans &, Co., wholesale grocers,
Galveston, are among the most relia-
ble merchants in the State. Their
stock is always fresh and good, and-
their prices very low.
The grand barbecue at Brenham
on the 28tli, was a great sacccss,
five thousand people being in attend-
ace, acd speeches made by many
distinguished gentlemen.
What will the Radicals say about
that outrage committed by men oi
their own politics upon Democrats,
which lately occurred at Breuham ?
We are of opinion they won't say
much.
As Grant is not capable of making a
speech, he ought to steal the best one he
finds and hire somebody to deliver it for
him. Its effect upon his disgdsted and
disheartened party would doubtless prove
salutary.
The Galveston Republican, one of
the most vile radical newspapers in
the State has "burst." We thought
it would. None but members of the
Convention would read such a sheet,
and so it went up.
Some negro* up at Bellevue took
it in their heads to frighten a brother
darkey by counterfeiting a Ku Klux,
when he fired at them with a double
barreled shot gun with fatal effect,
killing one and wounding several
others.
We see that our friend Jo. W.
Nooner has returned from Galveston.
He requests us to say to the people
of Hempstead that he has replenish-
ed his stock of groceries, and has
now as fine a stock as can be found
in the interior. Look out for his ad-
vertisement next week.
Mea who Support Grant.
The Harrisburg (Pa.,) Patriot
counts off and particularizes the men
who support Grant as follows:
"U. S. Giant is the man who, in
cold blood, demanded of the War
Department that no -exchange of
prisoners shonld be made, when
thousands of the bravest and best of
our brothers and friends were suffer-
ing and dying in Southern prisons.
It is eminently fit that he Bbould be
supported by Horace Greely, the bail
of Jefferson Davis; by Joe. Brown,
of Georgia, the founder of the Ander-
sonville prison; by Ben. Butler, the
man who assisted in preventing an
exchange ; by Stanton, who declared
that he wonld not exchange healthy
rebels for the skeletons of Union sol-
diers ; by W. W. Holden, who offered
a reward to any man who would as'
sassinate Abraham Lincoln; by John
A. Logan, who tried to raise a regi-
ment in Southern Illinois for service
in the rebellion, but failing, sold him-
self for a pair of epaulettes ; by
Bingham, denominated by Butler the
murderer of an innocent woman;
and by all the carpet-baggers and ne-
groes who are now reaping the fruits
of the sufferings and sacrifices of the
soldiers of the Union. Grant and
his supporters are a precious lot,
truly. How their record appeals to
the support of soldiers and citizens
It is positively irresistible."
Riot in Brenham.—We learn
from Wiley Haines, a Democratic
freedman, that while at Brenham a
day or two ago he attended the ne-
gro church with his wife. While
there, in company with a friend of
his who was also a Democrat, he saw
a number of negros belonging to the
Loyal League come in, armed with
pistols and shot guns. Shortly af
terwards he heard the remark,
"We'll allow no damned Democratic
nigger in this church," and immedi-
ately afterwards an attack was made
upon him and his friend by the
whole crowd -of infuriated blacks.
Five or six well disposed freedmen
gathered around him and helped pro-
tect him, while the wife of Henry
Love, colored, hastened to her hus-
band, who gave the alarm to the
white citizens. They came running
up and instantly put a stop to the
riot. We did not learn whether any
were killed, but Wiley says a number
were wounded. He exhibit? the
marks of the fray in the shape of a
knife-cut on his coat where a negro
attempted to take his life, but was
prevented by the interposition of a
friendly arm, which prevented the
blow from taking effect. He says
that no provocation had been given
at all, but that the negroes were in-
censed because one who differed from
them in politics dared to attend
church among them. The fruits of
midnight teachings in the Loyal
League is beginning to tell, as the
Radicals see that their power, so rap-
idly waning, must be kept up, by vio-
lence. if necessary, but kept up at all
hazards. Keep a good lookout,
Southern men; the time has come for
action: for now that the Conven-
tion has adjourned their emissaries
will be among yon, inciting to deeds
of violence the colored population.
Keep an eye on them, and let no
move go unobserved. Strive to con-
vince the negro of the ruin he is
bringing on himself by these mid-
night meetings, and the danger of
living in hostility to the whites. .
Pass Him Around.
The Masonic Fraternity, and all
good citizens generally are hereby
warned to look out -for one J. B.
WALDSTEIN, who takes every op-
portunity to ohfain credit, borrow
money, &c., upon the plea of being
a Mason. He is an imposter of the
basest order, and the craft are cau-
tioned to beware of him.

H. W. DONALD, Sec'y.
Columbus, Texas, Aug. 15, 1868.
We notice that Mr. C. T. Kavan-
augh, of Brenham, has invented a
method whereby corn may be pro-
tected trom that destructive insect,
the weevil. His mode is as follows
Common irame or log cribs are filled
till the corn is two or three feet deep
from the floor; then a long box,
made of inch plank—say twelve or
fourteen inches wide, perforated like
a pepper box, with auger holes on all
sides, is placed on top of the com;
this box must reach through the crib.
At the end of this main box, which
projects through the wall of the crib,
is another box fitting closely into
this, and pointing towards the ground
at about an angle of 45 degrees, and
reaching nearly to the grouud, below
the lower end of which a plate or
can containing sulphur is ignited, and
the smoke is introduced into the
larger box, throwing the gas all
through the corn and without doing
any damage to it, but killing all the
weevils, rats, mice, &c. in the crib,
without the least damage to the
corn.
We advise our planters to try this
method, as the preFervation of the
corn crop after it is harvested is of
much importance, and any and every
means should be tried to accomplish
this end.
We notice that Major-Genpral O.
O. Howard, the big " knob " of the
Burean, has arrived in Texas, and is
now making a tour of the State. It
is expected that he will enlighten the
negroes .* n the " land and mule"
question. Much good is anticipated
from his visit.
J. S. Batchelder, lately one of the
principal men in the Houston Loyal
League, and who, it will be remem-
bered, was lately appointed Mayor
but could not take his seat, has writ-
ten a card to the citizens of Houston
and Harris county. It reads as fol-
lows :
" Having for a long time been a
member of the Loyal League, I am
well posted a3 to its workings, and
must say that ihe organization is not
what I presumed it to be ; and now,
to the membeis of that organization,
I say, my connection with it closes
with this. J. S. Batchelder.
Houston, Aug. 30, 186S.
So it goes ! Every man who has
any self respect or patriotism will do
as Mr. Batchelder has done—leave
the party which is rapidly destroy-
ing the country, and join the one
that is making such mighty efforts to
save it.
The crusade instituted against
Texas cattle by Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and other Westera States is one
of the grandest pieces of presump-
tion and ignorance ever indulged in
by an intelligent people. They
claim that onr cattle, perfectly beal-
thy themselves, communicate a dis-
ease to th¿ cattle of those States,
causing them to die in great num-
bers. But, at tha same time, those
who take the disease cannot commu-
nicate it to their fellows. Our es-
teemed cotemporary, the Prairie
Farmer, of Chicago, Ills., lends its
voice to this crusade, and counsels
that no more Texas cattle be allow-
ed to pas* through Illinois. Will the
Farmer please iaform ns how it is
possible for a healthy animal to com-
municate a disease which it has not
got ? ^
Singular Case.—A Vermont
paper says there is a man in that
State who cannot speak to his father.
Previous to his birth some difficulty
arose between bis mother and father,
and for a considerable time she re-
fused to speak with him. The dif-
ficulty was subsequently healed, the
child was born, and in due time began
to talk ; bnt when sitting with his
father was invariably sileut. It con-,
tinued so until the child was five
years old, when the father, having
exhausted his powers of persuasion
threatened it with punishment for its
stubbornness. When the punishment
was inflicted it elicited nothing but
sighs and groans, which told but too
plainly that the little sufferer could
not speak, though he vainly endea-
vored to do so. All who were pres-
ent united in the opinion that it was
impossible for the child to sneak to
its father. Time proved this opin-
ion to be correct. At a mature age
its efforts to conveise with its parent
conld only produce the most bitter
sighs and groans.
The refusal by Gen. Reynolds to
allow the appropriation of an addi-
tional 825,000 to pay the expenses
of the conclave at Austin, has caused
that body t* adjourn, as their patri-
otism does not extend so far as to
work for nothing. This refusal by
Reynolds was the most sensible
thing he lia done in many a day,
and ™ive3 great satisfaction to all.
Congress has forbidden Texas to
cast any vote in the Presidential
campaign, and we notice that sever-
al papers in the State, and among
them the Han Antonio Herald, advo-
cates that the people of the State
cast her vote anyhow. Does the
Herald know that it would be
; '-penal ofleuce" to cast such
! vote ?
We learn that Gen. Reynolds has
appointed a military commission,
wbieü will move about the State and
try offenders. This is just what is
needed.—S. A. Express.
The N. O. Picayune says :—
If this be true, then we fear for
the peace of the State of Texas. In
fact we are almost prepared to antici-
pate the worst possible results 'from
such a movement, A roving milita-
ry commission is an exercise of un-
mitigated military'despotism, haz-
ardous at all times and everywhere,
but when attempted to be exercised
in Texas, at this critical junctuie, it
is fraught with the direst of civil
discords. Texas needs just now,
the wisest and coolest heads ra the
helm of public affairs The people
are a peculiar people. Their worst
faults are but the excesses of their
many and conspicuous virtues.
They may be led, not driven. They
are as open as children to the counsel
of those they think fit to lead, but
their vocabulary has no such word
as intimidation. Gen. Reynolds has
set ved long enough among them,
both before and since the war, to
know this people thoroughly. As a
soldier he must respect their high
personal courage, even if at times it
has about it the ensanguined dash of
the desperado, and he must know, or
ought to know, that letting loose a
roving commission with its abhorred
paraphernalia of despotism, among
such quick spirited asserters of per-
sonal liberty, is tampering wit h civil
war. We hope earnestly that he
will dismiss the evil, corrupt and
The Convention has decided to
levy a tax of twenty cents on the
hundred dollars to piy the expenses
of the Convention. It is very hard
to be thus taxed by a body that has
failed to accomplish a single desira-
ble object. But so it is, the tax is
levied and will have to be paid.
There is no escaping -its penalty.
We kuow that all will feel it an out-
rage and some may refuse to pay, but
refusal will ouly bring trouble and
expense upon tliem, for by the recon-
struction law the Commanding Gen-
eral is compelled to enforce its col-
lection. This was sufficiently de-
monstrated in Louisiana, where Gen.
Buchanan was reluctantly compelled
to support the tax collectors with his
military. This tax is inevitable. So
we must grin and bear it with the
best graco we can.—[Bulletin.
A very unusual result in politics is
the fact that the election of the two
United States Senators from Georgia
appears to have given satisfaction to
both parties in that State. Republi-
cans claim them as belonging to their
side, and the Democrats insist that
they are their property. Whatever
they may be the defeat of that old
sinner and reprobate, ex-Governor
Brown, seems to be regarded as glory
enough for one day. The jubilation
of the Georgia press over the defeat
of this man is something remarkable.
If Benedict Ariold had been taken
prisoner in the revolutionary war
there could not have been more joy
in the American army than there is
in Georgia over the failure of Brown
to capture a place in the United
States Senate.

N. H. Randlett, carpet-bagger and
Bureau agent at vBryan, published
a report of the riot at Millican, in
which, as usual wkh that gentry,
the trae state of affaire is never men-
tioned, but-a garbled, lying repent is
substituted in its 8tead. The sher-
iff of the county hat. since made a
report, in which he gives the carpet-
bagger some pretty hard Cnocks, con-
victs him of falsehood, etc., «d
winds up by saying that he (Rand-
lett) was drank the whole time.
The only true case of outrage
committed on account of politics was
that which happened at Brenham the
other eveniug, where two negroeB
were mobbed because they were
Democrats, and came near being
killed, by men of their own color,
who were prevented by the whites
from carrying into effect their mur-
derous intentions. "Out of their
own mouths will they be convicted.

Heaven it was never. All they have
done is to spend $125,000 of the
peoples money, and show nothiug for
it. We should think the delegates
would be ashamed to show their
faces among their constituents after
such a lamentable aud disgraceful
failure to do anything at all.
The Ku Klux Vedette, of Hous-
ton, says that the Loyal League of
that city has adopted a resolution in
viting the female negroes to come
forward and enroll their name as
members in full fellowship. Poor
creatures ! After draining the men
of every spare quarter, they have be-
gun on the women. What a nice
time the white scalawags at the head
of this League will have.
