KEHDALL'a lUMUTIVB CONTINUED.
At this point of my narrntive for
I cannot find a moro fitting place
I will give the reader an - account of
the agency Lewis had in idueing onr
companions to surrender thoir arms
at Anton Chico. Tp show him in
bis true colors; 1 will make a low - ex-
tracts from the statement of the par
ticulars of the surrender -made by
Lieut Lubbocjj one pf Captain Sut-
ton's officers. Lieut Ln - was taken
to tho City of Mexico with the rest of
the party but whilo confinod . in the
convent of Santiago made a during
escape by leaping from Jho . balcony
of tho second story and afterwords
succoodod in reaching Texas in safety.
It seems that that - the day after
the small party that I accompanied
consisting of Howard .Fitzgerald
Van Ness and Lewis loft the large
sheepfold on the Gallinas the main
party of the Texans took tip the line
of march and travelled as far as An-
ton Chico. They did not enter the
town bat encamped on tho edge of a
a s . a a a 1 1
ravine - witmn some . two minor ea
yards a strong positition I in case of
an attack with an abundance of wa
ter running almost at the -feet of the
men. Throe or fonr of the Texans
who crossed the river and entered
the Bmall town to purchase provisons
were arrested oy JJim&eio uuexar
who was then encamped at the pLoe
with several hundred men. Salezar
immediately sent one of them Leek to
CoL Cook and Dr. Crcnham with the
request that they should coins over
to the Tillage and hold a consul ta
tion with him. Thoeo oficcn very
properly sent buck word that if he
wished to aoe tbem he most come to
their camp. lie came over and the
conference rc-anlted in the. liberation
of the men.
Colonel Cook then ak-
ed Salozax what had bocrtno cf Vsx

maruh when a moaBogo was rocoived
from Cantian Sulozivr etatinrr that
Govornor Armiio would arrivo in
fo w hours and that as an evidunco
of his friendly disposition ho would
croirn tho river that intorvoned be-
twoon our cncampnionta and encamp
noarns.. As ho took up tho liuo of
maroh our men wero fombd to re
coive him enmhtatre in a proper
monnor. He marcliod howovovcr en-
tirely around our lino and took Lis
position within two hundred yards of
us having rocoived furthor roinforco
nionts and now ..numbering about
four hundred men. We wore then
dismissed but with orders to bo ready
to seize our anno at a moments notice.
In about fifteen minutes weporcoivod
a partv of about one Uunurod and
fifty or two hundred mon advancing to
our right and roar. This gave cuuso
for suspicion of danger and Col. Cooke
immediately ordored . Onpt Sutton
to form our men for action. In live
minutos battle to death would have
commenced but some ono explained
that Captain Lowis wqb at the head
of the party. The ordor was givon
to stand at ease the advancing party
uniting in the meanwhile with ' the
party in front. We then " perceived
Gapt. Leiws advancing towards us
with another whom we" afterwards as
certained to bo the nophew of the
governor. Lewis told ns that the
people were exasperated at our com
ing and were in arms that in addition
to the six hundred troops beforo us
ho himself had soon four thousand of
the best equipped mon he had ever
mot with ; that they wore on the
maroh and would bo on the ground
in a few Hours llo furtnor stated
that five thousand men wore march-
ing from Chihuahua and wore ex-
pected daily but tho govornor had
comrmesionod him to offer if wo
would give up our anno pornu'soion
to come in and trade and that at tho
end of eight days thoy should bo re-
turned to us togothor with our re-
cruitod horses. He . further stated
that he knew this to be tho custom of
tho St. Louis traders visiting Santa
Fo that no possible harm would re
suit from such a courso and for tho
truth of thoso statements Lowis plodg
od his Aonor. It was observed dur
ing tho conferenco that Lewis in his
language disconnected himselffrom us
using continually the pronoun you in
stoud of we. This excitod the suspi
cion pf ono of the officers who pro
posed that we should return to our
companions as . we caine ; and if we
could do no bottcr. walk and live
upon tiio horses wo had left. The
nephow of tho govornor replied -that
such a coursa wouki novor doj ; that
his undo know that Americans wire
gentlemen and that such inhumanity
could not bo permitted toward them ;
and again urged us to accept the
propoaition and compfy with tho re-
quiaitiona mndo upon all tradqra viu-

. Tho rovieod codo of rulos empha
sized the prohibition of tho solo of
liquor at tho Capitol rostaurants in
language that gave rise to . a Bharp
discussion between Senators Bayard
and Fryo at the debate upon the rules.
Mr. Bayard thought : a distinction
should bo drawn between spirituous
and malt liquors whilo Mr. Fryo con
tondod against tho solo of all liquors.
Mr. Fryo gavo & livoly picture of tho
scenes frequont at both rostaurants.
According to his . observations it
seems that "hiccups" and tea cups go
togethor at tho Capitol' Finally the
dobate was compromised by . the
adoption of the convenient word "in
toxicating" to covor the point at issue
and tho rulos wero adoptod.
The opponents of tho Mexican
treaty mustered just enough votoo to
dof oat it in tho Senate. Tho grounds
of obioction woro various. . Thexshiof
roaoon lay in tho dangor apprehend
ed by tho sugar and tobacco inter

''In ToxoB I told tho people that
thoir state woa largo onough for throe
and thay hold up thoir hands in hor-
ror and said: No only one state'.
I said: ' Gentlemen thoro aro at least
six oitizous who will want to bo sena
tors of the United States and they
will bo moro powerful than yoar de-
siro to keep the state in its present
form. In Toxas as in every oo - of
the southern states whoro I havo loo-
tured I was reocivod with more than
hospitality with cordiality' and the
managers of tho locture tour had: no
roason to. complain. I do not desire
to go among a pooplo more friendly.
I epoke in evory one of the southern
Btatos through whioh I passod and J
had not the most remote 'conception
that I ' should be bo well received.
Thoro aro a great many foolish peo-
Sle in tho-Southi thera are in tho
forth. But I was surprised and de
lighted to eoo how.the people had
suryivod tho sectional fooling. The
war and ail its issuos are substantially
forgotten;' iftd thoy are busy building
up attain what had boon wasted ana
destroyed and there is now more
wealth in the South than there ever
was. I appealed to audipneo after
audience if they could.would they
bring back alavory and there was not
a single instanco whore they cud not
say thoy wore dolivored of a great
ourso and that they would n6t bring
it back again. I had no trouble in
spoaking and when I told them that
I hoped Goneral Butler .would be the
demooratio nominoo .for president
they received it with good nature a
you do. More than that young men
in mo Doutn wno usoa to nave tnotr
living as pleosuro-eookors ore now
workors. Manufacturing is springing
up bo generally that the attention of
political economists has been directed
to it; and thoy are going to show that
untaxed industry in this land can
tako care of itself. I also found' in
tho South groat interest in schools.
They do not fare as well in this re-
spect as we do in the North hut the
wishes of the pooplo are for the
sohools and they are pushing thorn
out in evory direction. Tho pros;
poctn of the South ore admirable in
that direction and I eon say tho same
as regards religion.- New Orleans is
regaining its old ascendency as a com
mercial center.
as rogaras tno negro. 1 rocoived
testimony most welcome. Tho color-.
ed poople are increasing. " The mix-
tura nas doolinod throtighout the
Sontli; tho white folks aro white and
tho black folks aro block.; We are .
not going to have as much mixture as
we used to. Education is going on
and - thei' southern people of trood '
eonso and feeling are desirous of hav-
ng the black pooplo educated. Where
the oolorod pooplo own land they
prosper.' " The white pooplo object to
selling it to thom and for tho same
reason that peoplo do not like to Boll
land to ue occupied bv an i objection-
able class. I was aakod to give my
views about sooiality. I rophod'that
tho theory of religion is that all men
wero equal but that practice indicat-
ed that social equality should not be-
gin at homo that men Bhould grow
into social relationships that are nec-
essary. - Tho road of tho colored poo- "
plo to equality is by intelh'gonoo vir-
tuo and religion; and they aro on that
road. u.I behove that thoy haveacbiev-
