T 11 R R E C 0 R D i LETTE, ‘ , RO ‘ 1 ' TEXAS - rKDAUT^V.A, ()A., APRIL 20, 1877. If in |g<Mifcru)ly bolievmJ dow I hat Niohnilf will aoon bo rocognizofi an the* legal governor of Loutoiuna. Shall We If 4ivo a ronMUiitton- uI Coiivention I Wo have talked with par ties from different portioiia of our county in regard to tho holding a convention, and wo find u majority opposed to it. Not thuf they tljink our constitution needn no no ametidmont, but bocauae they fear that if wo netid men to At- lanty they will do no bettor than our loginlaturo hu« dono for tho paal fow yoaiH. Tho truth i«, our people have lost all confidence in the promises of politicians, and if a convention in called, it ia feared it will be largely made up of aspirants for office. Tho time bun coino when our poo* plo mubt take the government into their own hands, and repudiate party nominations and tricky politicians, ami select men for oflieo who havo the good of the country at heart, ro- gat%csh of party. Moflt of our prem- •nt purtisans are for self first, party next, and the good of the country, never. War in I'nrope. , It set uiu that all tho efforts looking to the peaceable adjustment of the quarrel between Bussia and Turkey have came to naught. Wo publish the following dispatch, tho latest we have from that quarter: Lien,on, April 17. - The order of tho day announcing a dccla ration of war has not boon issued. In officio 1 quarters it is represented that, tho present situation compels ltunaia, in a certain degree, to net single handed, ItiiHsia alone having mobilized. The abrupt manner in which the porto re jected the protocol would mak< demo bilization oil Rush in’s purl, appear like a retreat. Turkey, it is pointed out desires a contlict, and forces on the war. In her circular note she not only rejected tho protocol, but in principle denied to tho European pow ers the right and facility of urging, in any way, infernal reform in Turkey, or demanding guarantees for the exe cution and control of thorn amelira- tions. Tims an entirely new state of things him bee n crest< d by Turkey, by which even the husiu of a conference has been sot aside. Tui key having rejected any opportunity of giving a pacific turn to affairs, now urges for ward a decision by arms. It is hence concluded that Russia, who ia now in uruiu and has manifested her desire for peace, cannot retreat. Honor to Whom Honor «>* Due. Wo find tho following corn spond- cnoo and endorseunont of our able representative, in the Romo Tribune of the 15th : Wo nro not so hidobouud as to withhold our piandits from a man who dcsorves them, oven though we have differed with him in tho past, It affords us a real pleasure therefore to award to our distinguished Repre sentative, lion, W. H. Felton, the ful lest moaouro of praise for the per sistent and untiring efforts ho lias made in behalf of his constituency.

Ji- f | notability and rowdyism locked horns, and 1 am happy to state that the latter was defeated by n hand some vole, 100 majority, and wo also elected a respectable set of aldermen. Merit is tho thing that carries tho day here. We urn burdened with a. surplus of idle men, especially gamblers, sport ing men and dead bt a Is generally, and tho ory is, still they come. The imperial ion is greater than exporta tion, '.Vr would like to spring up a demand for them somewhere—wo are overstocked and could spare a fow Ihonsand.

Tho city presented a beautiful spectacle, tlm immense throngs surging through the streets presented a living panarnma, made brilliant by the myriads of lights fn m every oencievable quarter. Ad ded to this the decorations and illum inations of houses all continue to give Dallas a gala appearance indeed.
