From rugs to fino hotels is too
sudden and diNeonneeicd a transi-
tion. Let us pass around b- way
of tho cotton Holds without which
hotels woultl not be worth much in
this country. Cotton got a black
eye hist week and people ' who
brought their cotton bags from a
distaneo for immodiuto salo we to
obliged to content themselves with
generally ten dollars less a bale than
they hud calculated on. It has sineo
recovered a trifle but tho future is
as uncertain as over and men who
spceulatu nro as apt to break as to
mako this or nny other year.
I started to say something about
hotels and especially those under
tho superintendence of tioo. Moore

looker-on it lias the appearance ot
being about lliu best house tins side
of New York. It ia certainly largo
enough and airy enough and con
venient enough and well patronized
enough to be culled a fir.-jt class
house. The Exchange at Galveston
is somewhat inferior in.si.ennd
appearance but I am assured is the
peer of any house in tho tablo faro
and attention afforded to its gucsjts.
If 1 was a JJalluMiniau and travel-
ling lo t he coast' I should hail I ho

rest my we.iry bones in its embraces

then business should call mo to
Galveston I should take another
bito from tho by going to tho Ex
change in that city lor the threo
days everybody desires to stop on
the Island. Three days will about

. I notice among other inducements
to tho incrt-iuiuls in tho interior to
do business at home the Insurance
Companies of Texna hive reduced
tlodr rates of insurance to and from
New York very considerably. They
are now charging only 1 cr cent
on the best classes ot vessel which
is certainly a heavy bid for tho in-
surance now done in 'New York
whero the rat is 2J(a3cet. It is
no less singular than true that il
requires this underbidding to secure
tho insurance custom to home com
panics 'if these Texas merchants
who cannot abide that any of their
customers should send to New York
for a caddy of tea or a sack of cof
fee Insurance can now be effected
from New York to .Bryan by deaig
naled vessels at 2 per rent If any
one doubts it refer bim to me.

Tho unities of Governor Flanders of
Louisiana and General Longstroet
nro given in this connection. What
ever truth there iniiy no in theso
suggestions it is quite certain that
there is a general interest felt in tho
great J'ucino Jiailrottd through
Houston nnd Sun Antonio and es-
pecially tho link front Now Orleans
to Houston nnd I am greatly mis-
taken; if it nil cuds in gas. With
thin road tho Central Ilond and tho
road to Eastern Texas nnd lot us
ndd boldly tho Ship Channel. Texas
will show what "como out" thero is
in her. Tho Ship Channel is for tho
btnto oneot tlio greatest enterprises
of tlio day. hcl it no opened and
not a pound of freight will thoro
after pay n cent of tribulo to nny
middle man from Lliu time it leaves
Now York or Now Orleans till it
strikes within easy reach of its
oviner. It will all bo turned over
from one carrier to tho other at this
point with neither costs or com
missions and will save largely over
ti million ot dollars to tho people
As much as it will cost to luuko a
thirteen-foot channel to tie deep
water of tho trull. Uy rights such
a work should bo built by tho Stuto
nnd not by a corporation. It is tor
tho benefit of tho whole pcoylc. It
is a feasible undertaking and needs
but tho requisite amount of money
to pay tho cost to mako Houston
acc-03siblo to the best vessels that

Central Hail way Company bavo
advertised for bids for a contract to
build their Western branch' from
jion nam to Austin mo road is
surveyed aiid iho lino laid off. It
is presumed Unit contractors will bo
on bond with their propositions. It
is understood that tho Coin puny is
ready to receive proposals for fifty
miles more road from tho end of tho
present Scoggin & Salter contract
on t lie main lino. Tho great trouble
is scarcity of bands and contractors
hesitate to mnke engagements which
from this cuuso they may not bo
able to carry tint. If thero are any
enterprising men in Dallas who are
waling to uudorlako a large job tor
good pay there is cortainly a chance
now on tho Central Kailroad. Iho
season of tho year is upj reaching
when the labor ot the country will
bo idle nnd seoking new engage-
ments and it would seem a favor-
ablo time for undertaking such a
contract if only tho so called col
ored citizens can bo induced to
hundlo tho spudo which ns citizens
is doubtful though as chnttcls they
did so to some purpose- beforo and
during tho late war.
Ihe prospect of Seymour s elec
tion docs not improve as tho voting
day draws near. It is sad to reflect
that ns things now look the oppres-
sions of the last four years are to
be continued and intensified bv
nnion of all tho depnrtmonti of tho
govern nient on that idea.' To what
will il icad? Certainlyto no con-
dition in which .while this lasts
citizenship can bo inviting to a
Confodornto. Vat victis has- been
the experienco of all ages and na-
tions. It is no less the experienco
of all ages and nations. It is no
less tho experience of the Southern
people of to-dny than it is of tho
dwellers in' Ireland and Poland. It
is for the conquered to submit to bo
governed. And so iong as they
resist it; wi'l the Northern majority
mnmlest itself in tho voice of the
conqueror. Order no doubt be mado
to reign in Warsaw. But citizen
ship participation in government
the content of freedom is a lon
way off while present policies pre-
vail. Harmony cannot be moro
than skin-deep when it is enforced
by power on the one side npon a
channg spirit on tho other. And
outrage more or les extensive
may always be looked for when the
prinoiples of republicanism are to
utterly ignored.

porting themselves in an offensive
manner making a bullying expedi-
tion and tho menace of their con-

And this process of reciprocal con-

"It is not a more party triumph
we seek. Wo are trying to save
our country from the dangers which
overhang it. We wish to lift off the
perplexities and the shackles which
in tho shape of the bad laws and of
crushing taxation now paralyze tho
business and labor of our land. We
bopo too thst we can give order
prosperity and happiness to lhoo
sections onr country which suffer
so deeply to-day in their homes
and in all their industry from the
unhappy events of tbo last tight

... In Mr. Stevens' very ablo work
on tho lato war wo find tho distinct
avowal Hint secession was not iu
tended to "overLl.i-ow tho Govcr-
mont of tho United States; but to
perpetuate the - principles'' upon
which it wits founded." Wo copy ns
follows from vol. 1 pages 30 nndf 31:
. "If the -Iiistory of' this' most
lamentable and disastrous conflict
(disastrous I four to all tho great
principles ofsolf-governmont estab-
lished orattempted to be secured by
the Constitution of the United
States) shall ever be written the
right and justico of tho ' causo will
bo found to bo on the sido .of those
with whom my fortunes were cast
and with whom in all their heroic
strugles and unparalleled sacrifices
my feelings and sympathies wore
ever thoroughly enlisted nnd my
utmost exertions put forth for their
success. Whatever . errors in
policy they may have committed
either in the inception of tho diffi-
culties or in their subsequent
management the real object of those
who resorted to secession as well
as those who sustained it tra not
to overthroic the Goverment of the
United States: but to perpetuate the
principles upon vhich it yos founded.
The object in quitting the Union was
not to destroy but to save the prin
ciplest.flheCoiistitnlion. The form
ol Goverroent therein embodied I
did think and do still think tho
bent tbe world ever saw and I fear
the world will never sec its like
again."

An Incident at LniF.nTy. The
following incident peculiarly de
clares the feeling which animates
tho cx-Confodoratcs and Federal
soldiers. AVe lenrn from tin rye-
witness that after Col. F. S. Curtis
of Macon Mo. had finished n most
sensible manlj magnanimous and
tolling speech to tho people at Lib
erty at tho groat ratification meet-
ing on tho 4th and during which
ho said thero was no hate existing
betwoon tho ex-Confoderato and
Federal soldiers on tho contrary
thoro was a sympathy for each other
and bo had tho highest admiration
for thoso men who had backed their
sontimonls by thoir acts. Colonel
Matt. Ji. Cullen of St. Louis Mo.
was introduced who leaning on

"Citizens of Clay County: In the
name of the Confederates present
I am instructed to state that wo
fully rociprocato the magnanimous
sentiments of this honorable bravo
and loyal Federal soldier. I take
this occasion to add. sir that as far
as I am individually concorned I
have received much practical kind-
ness nt the hands of Federal sol-
diers since tho surrender and I am
willing and anxious as I know all
other Confederates are' to return

try and we say further that thero
should bo no pence There can ho
no peace until the constitution of
onr fathers is vindicated and tho
liberties oi tho peoplo restored.
Tho ran bo no peace under n Con-
gressional despotism which ignores
all the rights of the Slates and the
oilier deparliueiits of tho govern-
ment. I' is well known and can-
not be denied that a largo majority
of tlio white people of tho United
Stales aro opposed to radical rule
and to the revolution which has
been effected by radical usurpations
over tho constitution. Thero can
bo no pence while minorities govern
by fraud nnd forco. There can bo
no poneo while n moneyed interest
of untaxed bond holders keeps down
the tux burthened millions of one
section and puis tho intelligence
and property of the other under tho
control of igncrant negroes and tin
principled wliito scalawags and car-pet-bug
adventurers. There can bo
no pence while money and corrup-
tion rulo tho North and ignorance
and depravity tho South. It is not
in tlio nature of things that peace
can exist under n stato of affairs.
Thoro must bo a continual warfare
in society until ils prowr and natu-
ral relations aro restored and estab-
lished. The intelligent n timbers of
nny country must ultimately fjrtn
ils government und rulo it. When
this is. not the case thero will bo
disquiet disorder and tumult until
tho neccccssary chango is effected.
This is a law of nature. This is tho
experience oftho past. This is tho
touching ol history. I hero is a pos-
sibility that under the peculiar form
of our government by which tho
Presidential electors aro choson by
tho people of the Slates whoso
rights in almost every olhci-respect
aro set at naught thnt a minority
oftho people of this Union may
elect n President nnd attempt to
contiiiuoa rule of tyranny nnd injus-
tice; but litis can not givo pcaco to
tho country order to society or
material prosperity to any section
Tho strugglo must go on until right-
ful government is established titid

Going to school how tho sight
