Texas and Nkw York. —A Wash ington dispatch in the Courier-Journal reads as follows : Leading politicians of the State of Texas send emphatic as surances of the certainty of the State for Greeley and Brown. The Liberals will elect all of the Congressmen, and carry everything their own way. And what is more surprising is that this state of thing has been brought about with out the* help of mass meetings, orators, etc. The whole people arc aroused, and will give the Cincinnati-Baltimore ticket an overwhelming majority. Confederate Dead from Gettys burg Field.— The bodies of between seven and eight hundred Confederate soldiers, disinterred from the Gettys burg battle-field and recently conveyed to Richmond, Va., by the Ladies’ Me morial Association, have been properly reinterred on Gettysburg Hill, in Holly wood Cemetery, without any public parade or announcement. In all there have been about fifteen hundred bodies reinterred, mostly of men who belonged to Pickett’s Division,the other Southern States having removed nearly all of their dead a good while ago. Why the Iskaelitzs will Vote for Greeley. —We, for our part, would not vote any man into high position who manifested a spirit of persecution at any time. Wc did not vote for President Grant on account of his notorious Order No. 11. We could not possibly vote for Mr. Wilson, because as a Know- Nothing, ho hated and persecuted for eigners and Catholics, and at the first occasion offering in the Senate of the United States, he proved a vulgar Jew hater. We would never cast our vote for any person identified with intoler ance and injustice, because he i9 unfit to be the banner-bearer of liberty, and unsound, either in his judgment or moral character. We vote neither for the demagogue nor the idiot, and the intol erant politician proves to be either. It is with particular pleasure that we shall vote for Horace Greeley, not merely on account of his superior intelligence, statesmanship, and stern honesty, but also because he has proved himself in variably just, tolerant and liberal to all sorts of people and all classes of ideas. That is the truly Democratic type of manhood. These are particular graces of an American statesman to command our respect and confidence.— Cincinnati Israelite. - A prominent Republican,writing from West Lockport, Niagara county, N. Y., says that many of those prominent as office-holders under Grant here come out for Greeley, ar.d that, if the same state of things exist in all parts of the State as they do there, Greeley will get 60,000 majority. Mr. Voorhees said in his Greenfield (Ind.) speech of the Louisville Conven tion : Every intelligent man in tho United States knows that it is a move ment solely in the interests of Grant and directly tending to bis rc-election. That convention is the hope of the Grant party. Mr. Greeley is now the only choice we can make to bring peace and reconciliation to the couutry. II $2 :i year, in advance. Resolved, That we regard the senti ment now prevalent, iu tho arena* of discussion, “The North and South shak ing hands over the bloody chasm,” com ing from whatever qunrtcr it may, as premature. Let the rebel parties first bring forth fruits meet for and none shall be before us in extend ing forgiveness for past ages of persecu tion and oppression heaped Olympus high upon us, and those identified with us by complexion and condition; but the virtue of magnanimity does not consist iu making love pats upon the tiger who but crouches to spring at our throats for a death embrace. So, it is “premature” for the North and South to shake hands over the bloody chasm ? And “the rebel parties must first bring forth fruits meet for repentance?” And the colored people aro to be the judges of whether those fruits are worthy of being received, are they ? Certainly, “Time, in his whirli gigs,” has never brought forth a revenge more amaziug than that conveyed in the above resolution, the third of a set adopted unanimously at the second mass convention of the colored citizens of New Englaud, held at Boston on the sth instant. It is a direct challenge thrown out to the Conservative sentiment of the country. It was received with cheers; and there was Frederick Douglass there to smile approval, and to make the speech. It is a point in the present can vass which should not 1 c lost sight of. Mr. BoutweU will doubtless be gratified at this stroke of the brutal rancor. lie struck tbe key-note iu North Carolina; and the colored men of New England are shouting the refrain. Wc find it hard to determine, on the whole, who are the more tit to shine in a Dehoiney council —the white Mcphistopheles or the black man whom lie has tempted into the assertion of an insolent hostili ty to his own race. — Washington Pa triot. — : Mrs. Clark (an enterprising widow of the Pacific slope) edits the Sacra mento Winning Way. Train is her idol. She excitedly exclaims: “On to Washington—vox populi! vox Traini! Never mind platforms. Wc want a man.” So does Miss Anthony, and so does Anna Dickinson; and if widow Clark will only carefully observe what road they’re traveling, and then take some other, she’ll get what she wants. —New York Commercial Advertiser. Your mother has watched over you in sickness and in belth. You cannot fathom her love. It never dies. The world may buffet and frown upon you, but in all your life-course, as long as your mother lives, she will love you though all the world may condemn you, and should she be called away before you to the spirit world, she will, if pos sible, come back and be your guardian angel. Therefore, always bo kind, and rue, and obedient to your mother, for. every unkind word, every unfaithfulness to her commands is like a dagger to her heart. O, give your whole life to make your mother happy. An Arkansas local soliloquizes thus : “Some of our exchanges are publishing as a curious item a statement to the effect that a horse in lowa pulled the plug out of the bunghole of a barrel for the purpose of slaking bis thirst. We do not sco anything extraordinary in this occurrence. Now, if the horse had pulled the barrel out cf the bunghole and slaked its thirst with tho plug, or if the barrel bad pulled tho bunghole out of the plug and slaked its thirst with the horse, or if tho plug had pull-, cd the horse out of the barrel and slak ed its thirst with the bunghole, or if the bungholo bad pulled the thirst out of the horse and slaked the plug with the barrel, or if the barrel had pulled the horse out of the bungholo nnd plug ged its thirst with a slack, it might be worth while to make some fuss over it.” RULES FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING! •S 'airs of land, etc., by Administrators, Executers, or Guardians are required by law to be held on the first Tuesday iu the month, between the flours *f tin in the forenoon and three in the qffrnoou, at the court house in the enmity in which the properly i* situated.

The lbuuKST Mosquito Yarn.— Mos quitocs arc unknown in Atlanta, so my tho Atlantesc. Harris, of the Savannah News, tells a different tale from that. He says when he was in Atlanta, a few weeks ago, the native mosquito crop was just ripe. lie fought them gallant ly for three nights, and then succumb ed, yielding his luxom corpus to tlwir penetrating influences. On the fourth night they had their own way with him. He ceased to fight, and, in about seven minutes they had sucked all available blood from his body, and still were baW starved. Angry at luving obtained *0 poor a feast, two old patriarchs of the swarm gathered him, each by a hand and a foot—after the fashion of school boys—and bumped him against the foot of the bed until lie was sore.— Macon Telegraph Messenger. A Dexter (Michigan) dry goods store had anew and verdaut clerk. To this clerk one afleruecn came a lady with the inquiry, “Have you yellow cham bray ?” The clerk iooked over the stock, answered in the affirmative, and asked “How many?” The lady, think ing be meant yards, answered, “Two," and asked that the purchase be sent to her residence. The clerk started soon ! after with a suspiciously large bundle,, took it to the lady’s house, and was there overwhelmed with the information that was not what the lady deairrd— ye'low earthenware. He fled and has not bceu seen since. _ At a recent Chicago fair the pafiofis were allowed to vote for their favorite candidate at twenty-five cents a ballot. The Greeley men were ahead so long as it depended on their private fortune*, but the Grantites carried the day by sending to Washington for SIOO,OOO. *■ m One of tho straight out Blanton Dun cau delegates observed, during tbe sit ting of the late Louisville Convention, that he “would go to hell to defeat Gree ley;” whereupon the Courier-Journal consolingly remarks that the destination of the delegate is likely to be in that direction, even though Greeley be tri umphant.. Radical circles in Washington aro seriously disturbed by the appearance of the political sky in Massachusetts. Tho lights of the circles aforcside appre hend the success of Butler iu packing the party convention with his delegates, thus insuring his nomination for Gov ernor. In .the opinion of prominent Radicals,such a catastrophe would make it imperative upon the “respectable” portion of the party to run a second man as tbe “regular” nominee ; which procedure would take shape as aw official repudiation of Butler, but the division of the party might throw the election into Democratic hands— a lesser evil, to be preferred to butler. John G. Saxe writes to the Albany Argus: “I do not find any Democrat who thinks the Louisville gathering is lildy to pay what it will cost the Gov ernment at Washington (or rather at Long Rranch) to get it up ; nor aay Republican who supposes that General Dix, for all his years and yearning for place, can do more than run a little be* hind a ticket that is doomed to be de feated by not less than 75,000 totes. (N. B.—Make a note of this prediction, which is not so much mine as that of at least twenty cool heads, long accustom ed to. observe the chances and changes of politics in New York). As to the result of the Grant and Greeley eanUMts, the most hopeful thing I have heard from any champion of the Administra tion's the declaration thus: ‘lt j* going to be a hard fight and a close vote.’ ” m '■ —— * a Judge Dowling, of New York, sa|d id a recent case, that a great mistake per vades the public mind in regard to dogs ; that, by law, they are as much a man's property as his horse, or anything else iho owns; and, moreover, that in case of j killing a dog, unless in sell-protection, j the party could be made to pay tbe [ value of the dog the same as though it were a horse, Jvs*V
