The Effect* of the Election of General
Grant in the Sooth.
We commend the following from
(he New York Herald to the phrasal
of onr cotemporaries of the Texas
Press, aud our people generally.
We have observers our Southern
exchanges carefully since tiie election,
and have been unable to discover,
with one or two exceptions, the exhi
bition of any other lenliog than that
of sinceie acquiescence in the sue
cess of General Giant. For the most
parts, the Soafhern leading papers
have eschewed the discussion of poli
tics in any epirir. of bitterness and,
like a prominent Georgia paper, sug-
gest to the Southern people the pro-
priety of settling down calmly and
taking a business view of the situa-
tion. They do not advise a Southern
State to abate oue jot of her claims
to constitutional eqnaiity, or wiih
draw a single protest she may have
made agaiusb the usurpations of a
Radical Congress; but they advise
"Let not the intellect and euergy of
the South be wholly devoted to these
themes." These are wise and timely
suggestions, aud we repeat, instead
of rancorous partisan articles, we are
glad to see that the pens of the most
influential Sou:hern writers are al-
teady devoted to the conetderatLu of
topics calculated to attract the atten-
tion of capitalists to the vast resources
of the eoaatry, and by building new
railroads, new telegraph lines, estab
lishing new lines of steamers,erecting
free school nouses, organizing agri-
cultnial societies and ottering prcini
ums for the best specimens of agri
cultural pioducts, not only to restore
the Soat.li to he'r pristine prosperity,
but open a pathway for her to reach a
still higher degree of wealth and
greatness. It is oqly necessary fur
our Southern friends to continue iu
this course, which out- is signally de
maadi d by the pi ogress of the ?>ge,and
of the American nation particuiaily,to
insure for theru a complete restoration
to their former ii ;hi.s and iifiueuce.
It is folly_ for ihem to contend any
longer against tlio rteoustiuction
laws, bad and tyrannical as they are,
solongasthe political power o/ the
country leots iu the Lands it now
does. We believe that in the pursuit
of peaceful aTocation, in effort for tte
development of 'he hidden wealth of
the country and the establishment ot
law' and.ordei in distiicts where con
hisionigud anarchy may have prevail-
ed and may still prevail, the South
will find a warm, true and steadfast
friend in the President elect.
On the same subject, the New York
-Times says that the election of Grant
has put an end to lawlessness at the
South: that since his election we hear
no more of the atrocities of the Ku-
Klux-Klan ; tfiat Leg roes are no Ion
ger shot down iike, dogi; th.tt North-
ern men are tolerated; and that Union
men c<ui go where they please iu
safety.
Just so. And yet the South was
just as quiet and law-abiding before
theeleoioti as it is now. The difference
is that then every Radicaruewsptyier
had, at the South, a correspondent,
whose duty it was to manufacture
falsehoods for Northern consumption
during the canvass, so that the North-
ern heart might, be fired, and Northern
votes won foj; Giant. The object ot
their employm£fit has been accomi
plished. Their occupation is gone,
and even the Times begins to see the*
South as it is. * • ..

snbji cf, sajA i jfc r": y-f
A better feeling is manifest in the
Soutl*, sif?ce the certainty of Grant's
election overthrow* every hope that
the lost cause vrili ultimately regain
its ascendancy iu the coyneil of the
nation. So soon as life is safe, the
tide of emigration will flow to the
South. Tlie rich lands of rhe.South
invite the emigrant, but the Ku Klux
with his rope and his knife is a draw
back not easily overcome. The
Northern man wants to go Sonf.h to
woik, not to fight. He prefers to set
tltf differences; of opinion at the baliot-
box, and wishes to be let alone in the
lights guarauteed to every cifiz-. n by
the Constitution. As s ion as he can
obtain these immunities from the late
rebels, then will a wave of emigration
roll §outh from New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, winch will astonish ihe
Southern people. Their land's are
cheap, their climate is salubrious,
their lab'.'rirg clnss the best in the
world, and the North knows if, and
when liberty there is regulated by
law, when assassination is tlie excep-
tion and not the rule. Northern men
will carry the same enterprise that
has made the Northern States rich,
down amid the scenes of the late
slave empire of the South. Every
Southern man should aid the move-
ment by all means iu his power.
The New York World learns from
"trubtworthy sources" that General
Grant is not on speaking terms with
President Johnson, and has not been
since the difficulty occurred between
them in regard to the ^installment of
St|nton.
It is rumored that Mrs. Sumner has
become reconciled to Charles, aud
will soon rejoiu him in Washington.
A Washington special sa.-vs know-

to a little Prinee Salm Salm, who has

The Cvnn'entiou is iu a tangle; au

From the same
an ouisidvr. 1 feel
emanated, for by this prudent step
die work and labor of the Convention
may not have been in vain. For ex-
cept Congress approve the Constitu-
tion, they labor in vain that make it.
I have been received kindly by the
members of this body, aud will do
them the justice io say that I can find
no disposition on the part of any
member to vent his spleen or spite
against any portion of our people
who may honestly differ with them
i. q;iird to the true policj of G-.-V-
tti. ent, and I take pleasure in reit
eiuiing that I find but one sentiment
in this Convention on the importance
of legislating at once on the great and
pressing necessity of encouraging
internal improvement.
There seems to be a fixed determi-
nation to permeate this State with
railroads, (so mote i: be )

great manj other railroad projects
which will in due time, I hope, be
acted upon by this Convention, and I
must s y th.it, judging from the in-

Hall, of the Convention, ?
Austin, Dec. 19, 1808. S
Af;er a fvW very pleasant days, the
wea'her again threatening. It is
to be hoped however, that the weather
does not ufl- ct the ffeelings of the
Convention, but I confess there is
much similarity iu the actions of the
tw; > «lements. For two days past,
something like harm any has pie-
vailed in this body, something like a
desire to go to work and bniid up the
country a.-* evinced by the lact that
the. Internal Improvement Commit-
tee, of which that able lawyer and
thorough true mau, Maj. Flannigiu' is
Chr-irman, are almost incessantly at
work iu Committee. This is one of
the most important Committees of
the Convention, one which is fro light
with more real blessing t<> the people
of this State at this time. tha:r any
perhaps which wiit ever meet aga-a.
as upon their decisions and repot t?
hangs the future prosperity or misoiy
of our mighty State, but I have no
hesitation in saying that I believe the
honorable gentlemen, composing that
committee, have the interest of the
whole State at heart, and the result
bf their labors will be such, as not
!y to gratify the most progressive,
-i reflect credit on the State
1 siy now probably what
I ou^; ■> have said some days
Hgo, tha, 'k\d it to be my duty, a
duty not ou.. to the Convention, bu'
to tbe reader* <>f the Teleghaph and
e pvople of the State, Io say that,
u the selection of , a piesiding officer,
their choice iu the persbn of General
Du.vis, seenid to have been a very
happy <>ue. Never have I in ail my
connections and inteicoarse with
gr.tve and deliberate bodies seen a
man m> well fitted to preside. He is
not only a fine looking man, bat he
has an imposing ^appearance, and
rthat dignity of bearing which im-
presses the beholder with the tact
that so far canst those come and no
farther. hie is firm and gentle,
possessing a cultivated iuiu4ii..iUider-
etandiug.his duties perfectly. Well
sailled in parliamentary tactics, he is
never at a lo.-s, never hesitate-, but'
decides with foiee and promptness.
As an evidence of his impartiality, 1
have been unable as set to km>w what-
his personal feelings are on the bitter
question of division, and that alone
speaks volumes. Hav ng no axe to
grind, having no claims ou tlie kind
offices of liis oody, I but speak the in-
ternal emotions of my heaif.
Aud in this place, permit me to say
that Mr W.V.Tuut8ta!!,the4S<-cretarv
of the Convention, is a man of no or
dir.ary cap'.city. I am not dealing
with polities, but with men, and as
such I can and do most unhesitatingly
say that Secretary Tunttall is a gim
tleman, aud occupying the positionjie
dues in this Convention, he certainly
discharges Lis duties without favor <>r
partiality, tiiertby ufl-cting credit
upon himself and the intelligence of
the Conveniion, he possesses the
eret of making ftiends among al]
cla.-8^; iu fact, I am iulbimed that
by his unifoim kindness and attention
to "it belts" so-callt*d, who reprt-
se.nt the press on this fl.-o', he has
been seriously sensured by hisfrieuds
so-called : bo that as i> may, he is a
whole-souled gentleman, a clever
man, and is devoted to the welfare
and prosperity of the whole State ot
Texas. Mr Editor, excuse me, but of
the fullness of the heart the mouth
speaketh, and kindness overebnieth
Skitrntshinil aud desultory firing i-
the programme for today. No gen-
oral engagement anticipated for - lv„
era! days. Yours, B B.

riably more or less derangement of the liver
and digestive organs. The remedies u^u-

foundation of the evil, by actinir on the

being removed, ti. paroxysm will cease,
aud thp chills cannoi return. When tlie
patient is weak and debilitated, rtie BIT-

strengthen and tone the stomacii. alia/ all

without entailing the danger of reaction.
HOsTETlER'S SIOMACII BITlEIiS is
truly a t.reventive medicine, rendering even
the feeblest trame impervious to ail mala-
rious inll'ienees ; and, as a stomachic anft
auti-hi!ious medicine it is incomparable,
and no oue who values his health can allord
to do without it. Fortify the system with

" We started early to ascend Jft. Olivet,
to behold the situ gi'd the minarets aod
towers of the devoted city, from t!:e place
where memory, stirred by a thousand asso-
ci itions, should exalt the. mind aa well as the
eye to the. inspiration of the scene. Vt til is
the voyagor repaid for long travels, horrid
roads, antediluvian cookery, squalid com
panionship aud the importunities of bag-
ging, thieving Arabs. Well would it hare
repaid you, oh 1 mau of commerce aud the
crucible! aud well might you have, been
reminded of your o^u City, for here, painted
upon a board nailed against one of the huge
ancient trees, under which tlie sacrtd
