These utterances bo long anticipa-
ted, are now before our readers.
They stamp Gen. Grant as determin-
ed* to preserve his independence and
' not to be the tool of any party. We
rejoice that this is so, and while re-
cognizing him as a Republican, we
are glad to hail him as one, who by
his own declaration, commences the
discharge of his duties "untrammel-
ed."
The extreme Badicals find no con-
solation in his inaugural, and we may
now expect that they will become his
bitter persecutors, as it is evident
that he looks to the good men of the
nation to sustain him.
It will be remembered that we an-
nounced last summer that Gen. Grant
was in favor of national aid to a rail-
road through Mexico to the Pacific.
We had good authority for the asser-
tion, and the intimations of the inau-
gural sustains it, aB well as the posi-
tion that he expects Mexico some flay
to be a part of our Government.
True, the "strong box" is not located,
but when the "key which we are now
forging" shall be completed, we shall
not be surprised if the "strong box"
be the mines of Mexico, and that "it
-• may be necessary to increase the fa-
cilities to reach these riches," by Gov-
ernment aid to a railroad through
Texas and Mexico to the Pacific.
There is much more to be said upon
this inaugural, but we forbear fo.
want of space, to resume at another
time. ^ ■
We refer our readers to the column
advertisement of Dr. John Bull's
Great Bemedies. Dr. Bull claims to
do the largest business in the line of
Patent Medicines of any similar estab*
lishmentin the world. Hie writer
was shown through his .extensive es-
tablishment, and took a peep at his
sale book for 1868, which footed up
the snug, little sum of $397,000. It
would be superfluous to dwell at any
length on the remedies set forth in
his advertisement. They are known
all over the world, and their efficacy
has long ago been established. We
would be glad to see them exten-
sively introduced into Texas*
Distressing Accident.—Mr. Wm.
McAshan, a well known and deserv«
edly esteemed young man of this
«tty, was thrown from his seat beside
the driver yesterday on the stage,
when descending the hill at Bocky
Creek crossing, about four miles from
Lagrange, and it is feared fatally in-
jured. The wheels of the coach
passed over him, dreadfully shatter-
ing his arm, and otherwise so seriously
injuring him that at the last accounts
his life was dispaired of
We see statements that a line of
steamers is to be put into the Texas
and New Orleans trade in opposition
to the Morgan Line.
And in the same connection the
Galveston News announces that
freights on the Morgan Line have
been reduced 50 per cent.
Hamilton Fish.—The fact that
Gen. Grant was the guest of this
gentleman during his late visit to
New York, coupled with another that
Mr. Fish is fitting up a house for a
residence in Washington city, has led
/ to the conjecture that Grant has been
Fishing.
We yesterday published the dis-
patch that Gen. Reynolds would be
sent back to Texas. 4*he New York
Herald asserts that' Sheridan will be
reappointedto Louisiana, Sickels to
Sbuth Carolina, and Terry to Virginia.
At a meeting of the Washington
County Agricultural, Mechanical and
Stock Association Maj.Ifc F. Bassett
offered some valuable suggestions on
the use of'economic aids.
, From the Brenham Banner we learn
, that the deputy postmaster there
charged with robbing the mail, is
named Boss. The letter was not a
deeoy, though it contained only a
small amount of money.
Five hundred female clerks are em
ployed in the Treasury Department
in Washington. About fifty each, are
employed in the Postoffice Depart -
sent, War Office and Patent Office,
and three hundred in the Government
Printing Office.
A Fair is to be gi'ven in the Meth-
odist Church in Brenham for the
Bay land Orphan Asylum'.

The State Gazette states authorita-
tively that three additional regiments

TO m WUBLICim OF
At the risk of being taken to task
by some papers claiming the right to
speak for you, we again address you.
We have nothing to ask of your party
or any other of purely personal bene-
fit, but we do demand a hearing in
favor of the public weal of Texas.
We have no address to the reason of
extremists who .are determined to
hear no reason, but to you, who sin-
cerely desire peace, happiness and
restoration, we do appeal, and tell
you,that
The responsibility of the suc-
cess or defeat of a harmonious
reconstruction defends upon you.
One month ago the Democratic
party in Texas was overwhelmingly
in favor of acting in concert with you
in reconstructing the State, and are
still, but the illiberal, inconsiderate
course of a few of you, who have
heretofore been regarded as desiring
harmony, has had a most deleterious
influence, and has given fuel to the
extreme Democrats, and even alarmed
some of them who sincerely desire
concert of action. Let a Democratic
paper suggest a candidate for Gov-
ernor, and it is twitted with the
charge of having no right to speak;
let it name some one for Lieut. Gov-
ernor, and it is charged with aiming
to slip a rebel into that office; let it
urge convert of action, and it is told
that it has no right to suggest or ad-
vise.
If it were possible that you, as a
party, hold such sentiments towards
the majority of the voters of Texas,
and the conviction should become cur-
rent that this is your spirit, not all the
influence of the moderate Democrats
could prevent their party from exer-
cising the power which they are con*'
scions of possessing, and it is because
we do not believe that you approve
such intolerance, that we appeal to
you to show every disposition to fra-
ternize with the Democrats in deter-
mining upon thd candidates for the
various offices. Indeed, our charity
would eyen concede that the utter-
ances to which we have referred, were
n\ore the result of indiscreet party
pride than intolerant design.
This is-no time to be caviling about
the right of this man or that, to point
out the proper course of action in our
present danger. There is danger,
great danger, ahead of us, and it will
require all the thinking moderate
men of the State, of both parties, to
avert it, and we would best forget
for the time that we are opposed to
each other upon party questions, and
consult together and determine' upon
what is necessary to be done to save
the State from impending danger.
(7ome, let us reason together, is the
only proper guide for us all through
the present campaign, and exclusive-
ness now in you will be attended with
the most dire consequences.
Let it not be written that the in«<
tolerance of party rancor destroyed
Texas.
first fruits of the skip
channel — reduction in
freights,
If the bare agitation of the Ship
Channel scheme has already brought
down freight on cotton to fifty cents
per bale between Houston and Gal-
veston, as was announced by the ad-
vertisement of one line of shippers in
yesterday's Telegraph, what will be
the blessings conferred upon Texas
producers and Consumer^' when the
Channel is finished, and the expense
of reshipment between the two cities
is then reduced three-fourths, instead
of one-half ?
The same results in reference to
reduction in freights one half, between
Texas and New Orleans, is also an-
nounced. The competition of an
opposition line and the certainty of
the early completion and competition
of the New Orleans road to Houston
will have a magical effect upon the
proprietors of that line; and when
Morgan's steamers can reach Houston
by the Ship Channel, the New Orleans
road, when also finished to this city,
will have a competitor in those
steamers, that will ensure to Texas
commerce a reduction of three-fourths
of recent freight charges. .
The people can now fully realize
the benefits of competition which the
Bhannel has, by its very agitation,
already brought aboujfc.
The News argued that the channel
was "unnecessary," because freight
on cotton between the two cities
would be ultimately reduced. The
Telegraph, however, responded that
if the bare agitation of the Channel
question would have that desirable
result, by all means let the people of
the interior have the competing ben
efits. of. the actual construction of the
Ship Channel itself. To-day, we see
Texas, blessed in the actual redaction
in freights, which enters into the con-
sumption ef every barrel of flour,
pot of coffee and tea-spoonful of sugar
that is consumed by the people of
Texas. v
The people and press of the inte-
rior can plainly see their personal in*
terest in the Ship Channel, in the
reduction of rates of freight upon
their cotton, and all articles of actual
consumption from {abroad. In this,
we have the proof that it is a State
enterprise, because the State will
share in its benefits.
Cotton already reduced fifty cents
per bale. Hurrah for the Ship Chan-'
nel!
a democratic contention.
The State Gazette announces that
it is authorized by the Chairman of
the Democratic Committee to an-
nounce
"That he will deem it his duty, as
soon ,as the Constitution shall be
printed and circulated among the
people, so that they may be properly
advised of its contents, to call a State
Convention at Bryan to determine
what course should be taken and to
insure wise and harmonious action."
We lament that the Chairman so
widely misunderstands the sentiments
of the great mass of the Democratic
party. We do not doubt at all that
he has been besieged with letters and
appeals from interested parties,
and some too, from mistaken Demo-
crats, to take the resolution announce
ed for him, but we do assert, our be-
lief and without the fear of successful
refutation, that nine-tenths of the
Democratic party of Texas are op-
posed to a Convention of the party,
and our. convictions of its impolicy
and the • evil consequences, which
must follow party nominations and a
party canvass, are not in the least
weakened, but on the contrary are
largely increased, by the action of the
Chairman of the Committee.
The Chairman could have taken
no step that would give the extreme
Democrats more satisfaction than the
one he contemplates, and now they
will work most earnestly and indus-
triously to drum i(p their forces and
to elect delegates of their own stripe
to the Convention.
We have had high hopes that the
Democratic party in the future would
lead a bright destiny before it in Tex-
as, by pursuing a wise course in the
present crisis; but we now see that
the activity of the extremists of that
party, if allowed its way, will destroy
its success for many $ears to come.
The mass of the party will take no
part in the Convention. Meetings
may be called at the county seats ,to
elect delegates, but they will be com-
posed of a mere handful of the party
compared with its fall force in each
county, and this handful will be main-
ly composed of extreme men. It
.would be a sad contemplation to wit-
ness the disintegration of this time-
honored party, by a want of wisdom
in action at this time.
Should this Conventiop be held, all
patriots might well pray that it would
adjourn without making any nomina-
tions of partizan candidates.
We are sorry that a sense of duty
compels us to oppose this movement
as not only unwise, but ruinous in its
consequences. We are sorry that this
sense of duty will not allow us to
commit ourselves in advance, as we
understand the State Gazette to have
done, to sustaining whatever pro-
gramme this Convention, if held, may
adopt. If we could believe that the
voice of the mass of the party could
be expressed by its action, as we
know that to be for peace and har-
mony, we might commit ourselves to
its support, but of this we can at
present see ho hope.
All our sympathies, all our convi-
JJions, are in 'favor of Democratic
principles, but we shall not sustain
the action of any Convention, unless,
in our judgm^fat, it will help to save
Texas frpm the ruin which threatens
us.
Therefore, should thik Convention
be held, our action will depend upon
what in our judgment the peace, hap-,
piness and prosperity of the State de-
mand.
We are fully aware of the vitupe-
ration this position will bring upon
us, and that ag&in as was the case
last summer and fall, some will at-
tempt to read us out of the Demo-
cratic party, but they neither made
us a Democrat nor have power to
unmake us, and we expect to battle
for- the success of the party,4 long
after our detractors have been forced
by events to acknowledge the wisdom
of our utterances upon this matter.
And at the risk of a change of ego-
tism, we will refer to the fact that
the wisdom of the policy we pro-
claimed last summer, has been tri-
umphantly vindicated by events, and
we are willing that our present posi-
tions shall be judged by the stern
logic of what must come to pass.
O that we had reaching, searching,
burning words of omnipotent power
to convince our feUow Democrats that
this plan of holding a party Conven-
tion to act as a party, run party can-
didates for the sake of a party tri-
umph, is full of danger and destruction
to the best and dearest interests of our
State! Is there no he}p against it?
Will not our old men, our tried men,
the men whose voices will be heard
and advice taken, take this matter in
hand and save the State from the dire
calamities which such action must
entail, by using their influence to pre-
vent this Cnnvention ?
Wbo is for Texas now ?
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
of
PRESIDENT GRANT.
w
gen, grant's administra-
tion.
The indications are favorable that
Gen. Grant will be eminently conserv-
ative. While it is true that he main-
tains some positions upon which
many citizens differ with him, all
must concede to him honesty of pur-
pose, and a most praiseworthy desire
to heal up the wounds of the nation.
He gives no hope of yielding coun-
tenance to extreme men of any party,
and we may expect very soon to see
the beginning of a war upon him by
the extreme Badicals in Congress.
His inaugural as a whole in its spirit,
is an appeal to the moderate men of
all parties to sustain him in the dis-
charge of his duties.
We expect at least by the time of
the meeting of Congress next winter,
if not before, that he will recommend
that body to remove all disabilities
from the Southern people. We should
not complain that he will sternly en-
force the laws, whether he approves
them or 'not, as this is but his sworn
duty, and he deserves praise, rather
than censure, for this position.
It was contended during the can-
vass last summer that he was com-
mitted to the Chicago platform, in the
face of his very guarded letter of ac-
ceptance, and those who desired it so,
have been surprised that he declares
himself "untrammeled."
Upon the whole, the Southern peo-
ple should make no factious opposi-
tion to his administration. His Cab-
inet, so far as we have information,
are all moderate men, and are a unit
in the sentiments expressed by their
chief.
Let us give every support to his
administration, which we can do with-
out a sacrifice of principle, and avoid
violence of language even towards
acts and principles which we may not
approve.
Arkansas.—The Fort Smith Herald
says ten miles of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad has been put
under contract.
Col. Ficklin was in Fort Smith last
week, ready to,put in operation his
stage line for the Rio Grande. This
line is to run from Fort Smith, via
Fort Arbuckle, Jacksboro, Forts Rich-
ardson, Belknap, Griffin, Chadburn
and Concho, where it connects with
the tri-weekly line from San Antonio
to El Paso, running through Forts
Stockton, Davis and Quitman to El
Paso, and there connecting with a
line to Lower California. At Fort
Davis, Texas, it connects with the
line to Presidio Del Norte, and thence
to Chihuahua. This line connects all
the frontier posts, from Fort Smith
to Mexico, through the Indian Nation
and Texas, and will afford a safe line
of trade and communication. Mails
can go from St. Louis to El Paso or
San Antonio, with more regularity
and quickness than by New Orleans.
Is there not a movement on foot to
heal up the divisions in the Republi-
can party, tq throw off Gen. Hamil-
ton, and to elect extreme men of that
party to all the offices ?
Let the moderate Republicans look
out for snakes. ^
We hope our fears are unnecessa-
rily excited, but we do not at all like
the signs of the times.
The present opportunity for con-
cert of, action between the moderate
men of all parties, is most auspicious,
and both parties will rue the day in
which they fail to avail themselves of
it.
To the moderate men of the Repub-
licans we would sound the tocsin of
alarm, that they may beware of in-
sidious appeals made to them by
those who have fought to destroy
both them and Texas.
A delegation of the civilized Indi-
ans recently visited Washington. In
an interview with Mr. Johnson, a pro-
ject was suggested for collecting all
the Indians on their reservations and
making arrangements for having a
State Government organized. Gov.
Allen Wright of the Choctaw Nation
stated to the President, that if the
Government would give the civilized
tribes one-sixth of the amount expend-
ed in trying to exterminate the prai-
rie Indians, they conld bring them
into the Indian country, feed them
all, edncate the children aDd make
them good citizens.
The dusty and weary traveler will
find excellent bath rooms at the
American House, Boston. Airy rooms,
billiard halls, vertical railway, cafe,
reading room and a superior cuisine;
render this a favorite house with
travelers.
During the past week fifteen hund-
red corn fed Texas beeves and five
hundred fat bogs were shipped from
Shreveport to New Orleans.
Owing to the bad weather, and the
telegraph lines being crowded, the
account of the ceremonies of the in*
auguration have been omitted :
Washington, March 4, 1869.
Gen. Grant said: "Your suffrage
having elevated me to the office of
President of the United States, I have
in conformity with the Constitution
of our country, taken the oath of of-
fice prescribed therein. I have taken
this oath without mental reservation,
and withthe determination to to do the
best of my ability all that it requires
of me ; the responsibilities of the po-
sition I feel, but accept them without
fear. The office has come to me un-
sought ; I commence its duties un-
trammeled; I bring to it a consci-
entious desire and determination to
fill it to the best of my ability to the
satisfabtion of ■ the people. On all
leading questions agitating the pnblic
mind, I will always express my views
to Congress, and urge them according
to my judgment, and when I think it
advisable, will exercise the constitu
tional privilege of interposing a veto
to defeat measures which are, in
my opinion unconstitutional, but
all laws will be faithfully execu-
ted, whether they meet my approval
or not. I shall on all subjects have a
policy to recommend, but none to en-
force, against the will of the people.
Laws are to govern all alike, those
opposed to, as well as those who favor
them. I know no method to secure
the repeal of bad and obnoxious laws
so effective as their stringent execuc
tion.
The country having just emerged
from a great rebellion, many ques-
tions will come before it for settle-
ment in the next four years, which
preceding administrations have never
had to deal with. In meeting these,
it is desirable that they should be ap-
proached calmly, without prejudice,
hate, or sectional pride, remembering
that the greatest good to the greatest
number, is the object to be attained ;
this requires security of person, prop-
erty, and* for religious and political
opinions in every part of our common
country without regard to local pre-
judices. All laws to secure these
ends will receive my best efforts for
their enforcement. A great debt has
been contracted in securing to us and
our posterity the Union. The pays
ment of the principal and interest, as
well as the return to a specie basis as
soon as it can be accomplished with-
out material detriment to the debtor
class, or to the country at large, must
be provided for to protect the na-
tional honor. Every dollar of the
Government's indebtedness must be
paid ingoid, unless otherwise stipulas
ted in the contract.
Let it be understood that no repu-
diatbr of one farthing of our national
debt will be trusted in public place,
and it will go far towards strengthen-
ing a credit which ought to be the
best in the world; and will ultimately
enable us to replace the debt with
bonds bearing less interest than we
now pay. To this should be added a
faithful collection of the revenue, a
strict accountability to the Treasury
for every dollar collected, and the
greatest practicable retrenchment in
expenditure in every department of
Government. When we compare the
paying capacity of the country now
with ten States still in poverty from
the effects of war, but soon to emerge,
I trust, into greater prosperity than
ever before, with its paying capa-
city twenty-five years ago, we can
estimate what it probably will be
twenty-five years hence.' Who can
doubt the feasibility of paying every
dollar then with more ease than we
now pay for useless luxuries. Why
it looks as though Provtdence had
bestowed upon us a strong box of the
precious metals locked up in the
sterile mountains of the far West,
which we are now forging the key to
unlock, to meet the very Contingency
thatis now upon Jus. Ultimately it
may be necessary to increase the
facilities to reach these riches, and it
may be necessary also that the Gen
era! Government should give its aid
Jo secure this access, but that snould
only be when a dollar of obliga-
tion to pay secures precisely
the same sort of dollar in use now
and not before. Whilst the question of
specie payment is in abeyance, the
prudent business man is careful about*
contracting debts payable in the dis-
tant future. The nation should fol-
low the same rule. A prostrate com-
merce is to be re-built and all indus-
tries encouraged. The young men
of the country, those who from their
age must be its rulers twenty-five
years hence.Jhave a peculiar interest
in maintaining the national honor. A
moment's reflection as to what will be
our commanding influence among the
nations of the earth in their day if
they are only true to themselves
should inspire them with national
pride. All divisions, geographical,
political and religious can jpin in the
common sentiment. How the public
debt is to be paid or specie payment
resumed is not so important as that a
plan should be adopted and acqui-
esced in; a united determination to do
is worth more than divided councils
upon the method of doing. Legislation
upon the subject, may not be neces-
sary now nor advisable, but it will be
when the civil law is more fully re-
stored in all parts of the country, and
trade resumes its wonted channels.
It will be my endeavor to execute
all laws in good faith; to collect all
revenues assessed, and to have them
properly accounted for, and economi
cally disbursed. I will to the best of
my ability appoint to office those only
who will carry out this design. In
regard to foreign policy, I would deal,
with nations as equitable law requires
individuals to deal with each other,
and I would protectjthe law abiding
citizen, whether of native] or of foreign
birth, wherever his rights are jeopar-
dized, or the flag of our country floats.
I would respect the rightB of all na-
tions, demanding equal respect for
our own; if others depart from this
rule in their dealings with us, we may
be compelled to Ifollow their prece-
dent.
The proper treatment of the origi-
nal occupants of this land,the In-
dians, is one deserving of careful stu-
dy, and I will favor any course towards
them which tends to their civilization,
christianization and ultimate citizen-
ship. The question of suffrage is one
which is likely to agitate the public
so long as a portion of the citizens of
the nation are excluded from its privi-
leges in any State. It seems to
me very desirable that this question
should be finally settled now, and
I entertain the hope and express the
desire that it may be by the ratifica-
tion of the 15th article of amendment
to the constitution. In conclusion, I
ask patient forbearance, one towards
another, throughout the land, and a
determined effort on the part of every
citizen to do his share towards a hap-
py union; and I ask the prayers of
the nation to Almighty God in behalf
of this consummation.
Letter fro:a Hood County.
To he Editor of the Telegraph.
After an unusually wet winter, we
have intimations that spring is about
openiDg, and farmers are busily pre-
paring for corn-planting.
But little wheat has been sown in
our section, owing to the grasshop-i
pers, and the scarcity of seed, and
that little is fated to certain destruc-
tion, should the new crop of "hop-
pers" now hatching, prove as numer-
ous as that of last season. Of this,
however, there is some doubt, as
though t^he eggs deposited in the au-
tumn were in larger quantities than
usual, from some causes—perhaps
thercold and wet—they seem to have
been injured, and are slow in hatch-
ing.
Cotton seed are in great demand,
and the probabilities are that a large
amount of this staple will be raised
here next season. Could you only
hasten up the railroad to some «onve>
nient distance, you would be entitled
to our lasting gratitude.
The Indians occasionally—I might
say regularly—make their forays in
our neighboring counties on the out-
sidev They are looked for every full
moon, andunless checked by the Gov-
ernment, they bid fair soon to extend
their raids to the interior Of the State,
and reclaim the frontier counties for
their hunting grounds. Have you no
word of remonstrance to "the powers
that be," on the subject ?
We are waiting to see what kind of
a constitution the Convention will
offer us. If honorable and just, of
course we shall vote to accept it; but
if the work is too badly done, and
partizan rancor proves too oppressive
and proscriptive,.it will be better to
submit with patience and dignity to
the form of despotism now imposed
on us, than to stultify ourselves by
voluntarily choosing a worse.
Ranchebo.
Hood Co., Texas, Feb. 17, '69.
The San Antonio Herald corrects
the statement that two men by the
name of Waters, and a young man
by the name of Mndd, had been
killed by the Indians. No man by
the name of Waters were in the party,
and young Mudd has come out of the
bog all right. As a compensation for
this disappointment, the paper states
that at Dougherty's ranch six Mexi-
cans (probably cayotes) were killed.
The same paper has the following :
A rumor is prevailing in the city
that Jim Musgrave, two men by the
name of Franks, Henry Chitman, and
a Mr. Petty, were all killed on Fri-
day, the 26th ult., in. the town of
Pleasanton, by a crowd of twenty
men headed by Peavy and Payne.
We know nothing about the cause of
the disturbance which we could give
to our readers as reliable news.
The McKinney Enquirer, comment-
ing upon the adoption of the proposed
Constitution, says :
- The moderation evinced by Gov.
Hamilton and others in the late Con-
vention, should be met by a like
moderation on the part of our Demo-
cratic leaders; and if it is possible
for the prudent counsels of the
moderate men of, all parties to bring
peace and restoration to our State, we
hope it will be done.
Surely we have suffered long enough
to arouse the patriotism of all parties
No more laudable ambition can stir
the hearts of men than that of res-
toring prosperity and permanent quiet
to our State.
We regard the indication from
different quarters of the State as
most favorable for concerted action
among leading and influential gentle-
men of the Democratic and moderate
men of the Republican party.
We trust that this spirit may pre*
vail among the masses.
About twenty of the citizens of
Jefferson, Texas, are held in custody
by the military authorities. In refer-
ence to this case, Mr. Stuart of the
Civilian, says:
Perhaps the people of Jefferson do
not know that General Reynolds
sent old professional detectives among
them to hunt up evidence: some of
them may yet be called upon to an
swer for their own incautious admis-
sions. Entirely too much has been
publicly admitted by the press to
warrant the presumption that no law
was violated in the mobbing of Smith,
however obnoxious and bad a man he
may have been.
/
As a general thing, our exchanges
favor the adoption of the constitution.
It is regarded as about the best we
can get under the circumstances.
There are soine objectionable features
in it, it is true, but they are not of bo
serious a character as to prevent the
people from accepting the whole in*
strument for the sake of the good
therein contained,—Qonsales Inquirer.
