Houston Criminal Court.
Action of the Bar in honor of the late P-ter W. Gray.
—Narrow Gauge Railroad, Engineers preparing for
Work.
Houston, Texas, Oct. 7, ’74.
Mr. Editor :
The Criminal Court has just convened
in this city, and the lawless wretches
who infest our city and county are look'
ing wild and hunting their hiding places
from the vengence of the law.
Judge Gustave Cook who presides over
the Criminal Court, is one of the ablest
lawyers who honored this bar, he is
withal a suave and kindly gentleman,
with a big and manly heart in his bosom
that makes him ever alive with all the ten
derness and sympathies of a woman for
the sorrows and misfortunes of|others;
hence he is a merciful Judge, and a just
one.
In the Criminal Court this morning a
series of resolutions adopted by the bar
of this city in honor of Judge Peter W.
Gray, who died on the 3rd instant, were
presented to the Court and received
by the Judge in touching and feeling re
marks upon the worth of the dead jurist.
The Resolutions were spread upon the
minutes of the Court and a page set
apart upon which to inscribe the date of
his birth, immigration to Texas, the dif
ferent public offices he had filled, and the
date of his death. Handsome and ap
propriate panegyrics were delivered by dif
ferent members of the bar, when the
Court adjourned one day in honor of the
great lawyer's memory.
It is raining again to-day after a" rest
ing spell of nearly a week.
A surveying party of the Narrow Gauge
Railroad Company is now organized to
go out for the purpose of running future
lines and taking a Topograpical view of
the rout the road is to run. The Presi
dent, Mr. T. W. House and Vice Presi
dent, Mr. AVm. J. Brady, will return
home this week from New York city,
when lively operations will be commenc
ed.
THE GREAT EVENT.
Foster's Texas Prize Concert is cast
ing its shadows quite heavily here in the
shape of vast preparations for the drawing
on 22d inst. The magnificent New Ope
ra House, that cost this city *400,000, is
engaged for the occasion, when a large
corps of artists will appear with an Or
chestra of fifty performers.

Three Episodes in the life of Eu
genic.
It was during a visit to Paris that I
first saw the Empress Eugenie, then in
all the perfection of her loveliness; a
beauty delicate, fragile, and pensive as a
lily of the valley. Her beautiful eyes,
full of that mysterious sadness which
never loft them even when she smiled,
her finely-formed head, set on her long,
slender throat like a lilly on its stalk,
her sweet smile and exquisite grace, uni
ted to form a picture of fragile and flow
er-like beauty. Attired in while, and
with a white satin opera-cloak drooping
from her sloping shoulders, a knot of
marabout feathers in the hair that in
those days was of a golden hue, and with
a large bouquet of roses, apparently
hastily gathered and tied together, not
in set arrangement, lying in front of her
as she sat listening to the weird utteran
ces of Rachel—how sweet, and fair, and
girlish she looked! a delicate blossom,
plucked to wither beneath the blighting
shadow of a crown!
Ten years later I saw her again, bnt
the blossom had changed to a well-ripen
ed and roseat fruit. No longer a deb
ate girl, bnt a “monstrous fine woman,”
her golden hair changed by some inscru
table alchemy to darkest brown; her fob,
white shoulders and rounded throat tel
ling of perfect health as well as beauty,
she looked not only fair, but fat and forty
as well. Around the warm, white pearls
of her snowy shoulders curved a heavy
diamond fringe, the most gorgeous trim
ming ever devised by man or worn by
woman since the days of Roman dames
who fainted beneath the weight of then-
jewels. Upon the stately head was set a
diadem of diamonds, with the most splen
did of the great diamonds of the world,
the peerless “Regent,” blazing in front
like a flaming star. It was at a command
representation at the Grand Opera in
honor of the King of Spain, that I thus
saw her, and she and all her suite were
in court dress. A river of diamonds
encircled, in triple curves, her snowy
throat, and broad bracelets of diamonds
shone on each shapely arm, while in her
ears there gleamed two twin drops of
light that might have purchased a king-
don. Her dress, of dead scarlet silk,
looped over a skirt of white and silver
gauze, was simple enough; but, oh, those
diamonds! And there she sat, cold, mo
tionless, impassive, as some gem-decked
Indian idol, so still that her jewels flamed
—they did not sparkle—and with a look
of weary indifference on her handsome
face.
Five years later I saw her once more,
this time passing in her open barouche
from the review which was destined to be
the last but one of all the pageants of the
empire. Faded, careworn, with her dyed
tresses pushed back from her anxious-
looking face, and with a set, stereotyped
smile w reathing her lips, she looked like
an actress wearied to death of the uncon
genial role which she was playing, and
with private cares and woes gnawing at
her secret heart. Her toilet was exquis
ite as ever ; a debcate pearl-colored silk,
trimmed with duchesse lace, and with
bonnet, parasol, and gloves matching in
every particular. But how changed was
she from the fair young empress, in her
white dress, at the Comedie Francaise,
that had so charmed me sixteen years
before f O wife! O mother! O queen
did you in those early summer days of
1870foresee the swiftly-coming doom?
Did any prophetic voice whisper to you
in those peaceful, sunny hours, of disaster,
of abdication, of exile, of widowhood? of
France given over to the foe ? of your
husband hurled from his throne, of your
son’s inheritance given to the wind ?

It is understood that instructions were
received from Washington and New York
not to indorse civil rights and the third
term.
The Arkansas delegation will proba
bly take the lead. It is stated that Brooks
will deliver, some time during the session
of the convention, a speech upon South
ern outrages and the oppressions of loyal
men in the South.
Chattanooga, October 14.—The even
ing session of the convention reassembled
at 7:30 p. m., F. H. Little Y ice President,
from Mississippi, in the chair.
Th® cemmittee on Facts and Statistics
of Outrages asked further.time in which
to make their report. A resbiu&m r. as
offered granting further time and con
turning the committee indefinitely^ ir-
structing it to report to Congress every
three months.
Jeff Long, colored, of Georgia, urg\d
that the report be made at once, and pro %
posed to plant the convention on *libl<»
mountains of Tennessee until these iai.ts
were brought out. He moved that this
convention do not adjourn until it had
report of all the bloody outrages. Let
the widows of those who had died at tlie
ballot-box with the Republican ticket, in
their hands come np and shrT-. their
wrongs. TLc object ot this convention
is to secure the mighty arm of the nation
to hold up those who have been imposed
npon. While he loved the civil rights
bill, they needed protection at tho ballot-
box more than anything else.
Mr. Myers, of Arkansas, chairman of
the committee, said it would have taken
two weeks to have received the statement
from Georgia alone. If this Convention
was to remain in session until this com
mittee could report the delegates would
be in a bad condition, as there was no ap
propriation for their support.
Senator Clayton, of Arkansas, moved
that all speeches in debate be limited to
five minntes, and that no delegate be al
lowed to speak more than once on the
same question.
Sheets, of Alabama, thought the com’
mission conld tell what time they needed
to report. He thonght five minutes was
long enough for anybody to give his o-
pinion on any subject he knew nothing
about [Laughter.]
The five minutes rule was then adops
ted.
Turner said there was a disposition to
dodge the most vital questions ever
submitted to a people. He referred to
limiting of speeches to five minutes. The
committee had not said anything about
the nature of the outrages. We are not
to be gagged by the five minute resolu
tions when our country is so weak and
pusillanimous that it cannot protect its
citizens. He was opposed to that re-
its and Dealers.

Charleston, S. C., October 11.—Re
ports from the interior of the State show
that the excitement concerning the Gub
ernatorial canvass runs very high.—Gov.
Moses has taken the stump for Chamber-
lam. Yestesday Chamberlain, Moses
and the colored Congressman, Elliott,
went to Sumter, the home of Moses,
where Judge Greene, the Independent
Republican candidate, also resides and
has great personal popularity. A mass
meeting of colored Republicans of the
county was called, but they refused to
hear either Chamberlain, Moses or Elli
ott, drowning their voices amid cheers
for Greene. An Independent Republi
can meeting was organized and address,
ed by several local speakers in denuncia
tion of the Chamberlain-Moees party,
who returned to Columbia indignant at
being refused a hearing.
Capt Hunter, of Brooks county, who
was stabbed by a negro daring election
day, is said to be rapidly recovering.
port It was a white washer report
Here the hammer fell, and Senator
Clayton, of Arkansas, claimed the floor.
He said these facts and statistics were
not to influence Northern elections, but to
influence legislation, and as Congress did
not meet nntil December, why not then,
give the committee time to gather the
facts. He proposed to appoint an exe
cutive committee, to whom this com
mittee should report He wanted the
facts spread before the country. Ho
thonght the committee should report at
the assembing of Congress, and as much
oftener as necessary. He made the mo
tion for the appointment of an executive
committee of one from each State, six to
constitute a quorum, to meet in Washing
ton on the first Monday in December
next, with power to do such business as
was deemed proper, and to call a Conven
tion when so considered necessary.
The motion was adopted, and then the
report was amended so as to call for a
detailed report of the outrages by De
cember first to the executive committee
at Washington, from each member of tho
committee.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following.
We, Republican citizens of tho recon
structed Southern States, make the fol
lowing declaration: “We recognize the
equality of all men before the law—-equal
rights to all; reaffirm the Philadelphia
platform, that the equal rights of all citi
zens should be secured by appropriate
State and Federal legislation; endorse
the Executive in sustaining law and or
der in all parts of the Union, and putting
down outrages, and especially do we en
dorse his action in Lonisiana; denounce
outrages and arraign the Democratic
party of the Southern States in sustain
ing the Kuklux and White Leaguers, as
directly responsible for these outrages,
tmd endorse the prosecution by the ad
ministration of the perpetrators of these
outrages in Federal courts; declare it to
be the duty of the Federal government,
when a State government is sought to be
overthrown by revolutionary action, to
interfere and give a Republican form of
government; deprecate the drawing of a
race and color line; recommend the ap
pointment of none bnt honest and capa
ble men to Federal offices and the remo
val of all others; urge the appropriation
of public lands for educational purposes
in proportion to the illiteracy of States;
favor appropriations for the improvement
of our great riven; ask all citizens who
favor the administration of the govern
ment on principles of justice to aid us in
restoring tranquility to the people, and
in developing the material interests of
the country.
The previous question was called and

on a call of States, unanimously.
