a good man and well qualified for
the office, and that paper would liko
to support him, but unloss tho
Democrats of tho city will got to-
gether an “nominato him," it “has
* no right to support him." That’s

IV We learn that tho Republi-
cans had a sort of private convention
bore last Saturday, and selected
delegates to their state convention
soon to meet at Dallas. Stpbaugh,
Bob. Taylor and a number of
‘ pthors wore in attendance. Wo
accused Moses, that it was a secret
mooting, but ho said it was not—
said tho Democracy up'slairs kept
up sucl). a din that nobody could
hear the Radicals below.
** ^Tamt or Education.—Mr.War-
renburg, an old citisen of Wood
county, on Saturday last, sold a
load of lumber in Groonvillo and
laid out tho proceeds in wheat, ox-
oept two dollars wljich he spont for
morphino and qumiho.and, although
tho bottles wers plainly lablled. fee
took a dose of morphine fofiTquin-
ino on last Sundfcy morning, from
tho effects of which ho died. Ho
could not road.
TuChabtim.mrvW'o have received
Frod. W. Miner's new paper, just
startod at Paris. It is a largo eight-
column paper, noatly printed, and
filled with interesting matter. Capt.
Minor is a bold tliinxor and forciblo
writor, and is not st all afraid of
public opiflum. For this wo hearti-
ly commend him. If tbore is any-
thing more needed by the Texas
press than all else, it is independence.
The “Chartist” ftirther oxpressos it-
self as tfie friend of equal rights,
(civil and political) ar.d of the cause
of education in our stats. In this
we heartily join-lt^ The paper will
perhaps ke too bitter in its oxpros*
sions ioaccomplish as much good as
it Otherwise would, and will ho too
Jladical to suit the -notions of the
|tcnplepf this country.
That Disorderly ponven*
floss.
The Texas News taxes exceptions
to what wo said in last Entcupbise
in regard to tho nominating conven-
tion—that it was noisy and die-
orderly—and very moNirtXDLV
“considers it a slandor upon the
gentlemen composing that body."
[Tho editor was a member.] Now,
if ws slandered the members of tho
convention, we are not aware of it.
We said nothing but wlmt was true,
and what was susceptible of proof
by a hundred witnesses, in and out
of tho convention—and the editor
of tho News is the only individual
we havo hoard pf that bus the ef-
fouptery to deny it. Nearly all tho
members of the convention aro
readorl of our paper, and some of
them have renowed their subscrip-
tion since the convention adjourned,
and wo certainly knew it could bo of
no bonefit to us to print sdmothing
about thorn that wus not true. But
they,know it to ho true. Numbors
of the delegates told us, during tho
sitting of tho convention, that they
“just nover saw such bohavior in n
deliberative body in their lives.”
Somo of thorn said it was “ tho first
time tjiey had aver ongagod in such
business, and if they got out of that
it would bo tho last," Two of tho
delegates were overhoard talking,
that thoy “ would givo a good deal
to Know that ‘Uncle Josh’ was thoro
taxing items of tho row," and one
remarked that bo “ wouldn’t take
•5 for his next Enterprise." Thoy
didn’t consifior it a slandor on thorn
to havo tho truth mado public about
tho disorderly doings of that body,
for, so far as wo havo heard, most
of the members wore decidedly dis-
gusted withes noise and confusion.
They are awaro, too, that wo do not
blame tho members of tho body so
much as wo do the convention sys-
tem, and a few wire-pullers that did
all the talking.
Our Chesterfield inn friend of tho
Nows sums it up rather mildly, to-
wit: “ Somo things wore said that
shoiild have beqji loft unsaid."
Wo should think so.
Tho News furthor says that tlnf
oxcitomont .wo mentioned did not
nriso from tho nomination of Mr.
Doss to the Clerkship, but from a'
motion that was made by Col. Liduy,
and that Col. Liduy, and Mnj. Hays
did not bolt.
Wo have it from Indisputable au-
thority that Col Iii(lay declared non-
fellowship, and the Major refused to
abide tho nomination of Mr.^Doss to
tho Clerkship, hut we learn since
that thoy did not leave the room. If
thoy havo repented and gono bacx
to tho fold, it is none of ourcoiicoru:
our siatement stands correct.
Wo did not say, or did not moan
to say, thut it was Mr. Doss' election
merely that caused the uproar in tho
convention, (for, so far as we Know,
Mr. Doss is a very clover gentleman
and a good officer,) but tho manner
in which ho was chosen. It was
upon this point that Cok Liday of-
fered his motion, andwas put out of
order by tho chair, which caused him
to withdraw from tho convention.
Thoro wore throe candidates in tho
race, (Hcnsloe,Doss and Yarbrough,)
all very noarly balanced, Hcnsloe
standing 6, Dews 6], Yarbrough 7[.
It wai necessary to drop one of tho
candidates, and, by a rulo of the
con vention,,it was tho hindmost man
that had I* b« dropped— to-wit,
angeville delegation did,) Yawrough
would have been chosen. The Or-
angeville delegation cast for- Doss,
who was sooond-bost in that ^fccinct,
and had tho Ladonia delegates cast
for Yarbrough, who was the second-
best in their prepinct, he woi|d have
boon elected. But they, too,ffiast for
Doss, Ibis inconsistency is- what
caused Maj. Hays to get up in the
convention and declare that bj^would
not [abide tho decision, so far as
tho nomination of Clerx was con-
cerned. And the Major was right,
for thoro is not a membov ot that
convention that can say Yarbrough
was not the strongest man in the
raco, so far as could be determined
by tho action of the precinct moot-
ings, and that, had Col. Liday’s rulo
been adopted and the convention vo-
ted consistent with itsolfi^Uroundi
he would have been t4e
Wo bate said more on this subject
than wo intended—jn defence of our
statoniout and in jus*ioo to all “the
partios, simply—for we wore not a
Yarbrough man, and did not vote for
him in tho primary mooting.
Mr Mr. llonry Dulaney, on
Main street, has opened a new mar-
kotrhonse, whore ho proposes to
dispenso fresh m^nts of various
kinds to tho hungry, on tho most
favorable terms. Mamet open both
morning and evening, every day in
tho wook but Sunday.
tGr Wo liavo neglected to call
attention to tho card of tho Central
Hotel, for two or threo wocks. This
hotol has recently boen repaired,
refitted and variously improved,
and is in the hands of parties who
understand tho business thoroughly.
It is in tho center of business, and
is a splendid place to stop at.
Wo have noglocted for a
week or two, to notice a letter re-
ceived from Maj. Cutler, of the
Donison Journal, containing a prop
osition from tho M. K. & T. rail-
road, to extend the “ courtosies ” of
tho road to the editorial convention
soon to meet at Sherman, for an ex-
cursion over jtlio road via Ilannibal ^
to Chicago apd back by ShLouis.
The Enterprise will gladly accept
Mr. Manager Stovcns’ politeness,
and, if possible, furnish a man to
rido on his road in tho oxcursion.
Peaches.—To savo tho credit of
tho county fj-Qm tho chargo we
mado last wook, that thero were no
peaches, our -old army friend, Jus.
F. Gober, brought us a half bushel,
Tuosduy, of tho finost wo over saw-
peaches as largo us a man’s fist.
Wo tnko back what we said, with
thanks. Mr. Gobor is a closer fol-
low, of course. Ife ran for Justico
of tho Peaco in his precinct tho
other day, (for nomination,) and
made a tie vote with Mr. Mayo; but,
in the goodness of his heart, Gobor
gave way to his opponent and told
him to take tho office. And now
wo hear it said that he is about to
bo put into tho field for Shon ff, by
bis friends in tho southern portion
of tho county.
Hensleo.
was now bo-
twoen Doll and Yarbrough, and had
Henalob's delegates boon properly
interacted as to which of thoso two
thoy should vote .for, there would
havo boen no troublo on tho ques-
tion. But thoy woro not. The
Orangeville and Ladonia delegations
camo without any ftirfhor insf ruc-
tions than fbr their ono man, ifon-
sleo. ft was at this opportune
momont that Coi. Liday mado tho
motion in quostion—to havo somo
rulo adopted for tho government of
theso uninstructcd delegations, that
they-might cast thvir .votes in such
a manner as to make tboaction of tho
convention consistent with itself,
thut is, that they should cast for tho
foromdht cwu in the race, or (hr tho
candidate that ^received the seoond
highest vote in lhoir respective pre-
cincts. [Tho motion w« quashed.]
Had they voted for tho foromost
man in tVflcld, Yarbrough would
havo boon «ho*m—had they votod
fbr tho seoonddiighost candidate in
their respective prcdnls. (as the Qr-
