ESTABLISHED 1842. GALVESTON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1874. VOLUME 212. AN IKXCKLLKST HX1.TI!·!,;. The of JJrcmond have set un excellent example.

A few JUJH ago, KoiK'rUioa couoty, ia tliiy Btule, witti ore of those panic pRrcxjticm in aomc other have so i gljrje'j into atrocities, to the of the boily iJj-3ou-Uiem whites, -aad tlie joy of thoir polieicui eremicB. The report was sctUiloualy spread in BremomUlmt the negroes in the vicinity organizing to kill the -whites. Trie people of tliut town were, for some 'ilttjp, Lgi- tatril with a though vague alarm. Fortanately, there were i i zens Tfho refused to ho carried nwriy by gust of inexplicable excitement. Thtj submitted the report that createu the alarm to.

the test of sober inquiry, and became satisfied that the report was unfounded and the uncalled for. Hence they declare in i meeting, the proceedings of i arc jjU-cn elsewhere, that there is not jssrticlc of cause to fear any disturbance on the part of f.he negroes in or about Rremoiid. They go further, and rcoolre that we do most seriously condemn tho efforts of all parties to create any unfounded alarm in our insist or country; and that us heretofore, arc determined to enforce the law, and to protect alike all citizens in the enjoyment of their rights, without regard to doubt it would be a waste of labor to try to trace to any rational origia a.n excitement which might, if coniinaed, have involved an otherwise peaceful and contented i in scene? of sanguinary frenzy and gratuitous slaughter. Perhaps its proximate cuusc lies no deeper, than the combined influence of bad whisky and demoralizing idleness. Plenty of similar troubles clwjhere have arisen in tins way.

The idle, the thoughtless, aad the reckless, like to aiake themselves important, and of coarse aro repay to do so regardless of conao- Gibson county, where the Trenton atrocity occurred, bus been sorely infested by such people; and that catastrophe was ft natural result of their unrebuked and unchecked proceedings. These rowdies have been accustomed to nmusd themselves by collecting in squads and riding and rioting about, Tvith tbe professed object of preventing outbreaks and violence. They have pressed horses aud mules from planters in the high-handed style of the bummers and jawhawk- ets war timei. Bj- day they have scared industrious from fields iito tho woods. By night, in prowling around, they have kept whole villages awake with fear, and women in agonies of fright.

This manner of keeping avoid monotony, has to be refreshed 1 now and then by such incidents as the murder of the Bixteen Degrees at Trenton. Texas, let it be understood, has not bit of use for patjic-mongcrmg'oroak- eis, or for a self-constituted police that koow neither law nor leuson, and are. only efficient in organizing terror and precipitating wholly needless calamities of conflict or cainage. And even were tbe public sentiment of Texas disposed, ss calumniously as- sei te(5 ia some (Barters for political purpose, to subject the blacks to sys- Jemalic intolerance a-nd outrage, the State could cot afiord the luxury at the curtain price of the unfriendly intervention of the Federal authority, and blacks in Louisiana may have their own reasons for welcoming the restraining and regulating presence of Ut ited States troops. But at present the people of Texas have no reason to begrudge them the eujoyment.

MF- BABSBM has captured Boston with his hippodrome. The showman says: "Probably 20 other old lool' (in the language of rival managers) will expend a quarter so much money, in this generation, for the public amusement and instruction combined." Probably no other old fool -would allow the "Pope" to chew a quid of fine cut, and the Emperor. Napoleon" to wipe his nose on the sleeve of that immortal surtoisf. cont, as Barnum does iu bis "Congress of Nations." Th'-; "New York han come to tin! conclusion a after there has beon no reconrjlruction at the South. It there, on the contrary, "disturbance, civil corruption find disorder, and, wonie I all, a war upon the credit by means nl repudiation, tliut i he as diaas- trous to the i as if the rebellion had been e.

aiicccm." The Ucratd, therefore, proposes a Xationul Convention to consider the wur, it" causes. consequences Mid re- ltrf, and how best the L'nion can ad- ju.it itself to the new and strange con- lition.s it hu.H left us. 1 In short, it i that tbe perplexities of the crisis a i of no satisfactory solution may be hoped from a. National Convention of peaoi and reconstruction. 1 It is not the South, it is tho ITnion a must be reconstructed, to bring about, if such a i is possible, the harmonious adjustment of verse interests and populations, under one supreme government, that is desired.

Perhaps it is open to question the problem might not as well be left to the inexorable logic of events, as to be entrusted to the deliberations of a wrangling convention. Tim (Jlty ItUroad Oo.

THE Chicago Times has a New York that, for the lack of better matter, is writing up the secrets of the press. Among other stories that lie tells, is a fabulous one of a reporter who desired to "make for the Iterate a description of some rare Catholic ceremony, for which purpose he to get admission to the chan eel. To do this he mingled among the priests, put on a suit of. vestments, aud thus accomplished bis purpose, The story on its face it not cred iblc. reporter would do the work so buogHngty Ia the first place, the chancel wcult aijord lum no opportunity to "maki notes.

In. the next, if he got there, would, not know what to do with him self: 3he ceremonies woulc scon discover him for. an iu trader, nc laaii him about nine feet eleven inchc and a half out of the back door of th cathedral. In the third place, there noU the slightest usr. for him to go to the chancel at all, siace some kind- nsaried priest would have loaned him a copy of ThePonsincaV in wluch ail the ceremonies are fully described, and if Jxe could not read ecclesiastical Latin; translate it for him.

It is a trifle dangerous for those who know nothing a profession to write about It. stables. An agent is also now engaged in purchasing the mules required. A part of the iron is nosv on the way here by the city of Austin, due about Tuesday next. FRANK WALWOKTIJ, who shot and killed his father about a year ago, is getting, we are to be a subject of consideration for clemency.

The New York World i that it is altogether too early to entertain any such sentiment. He has lately had large fortune left through the death, of a relative, and it might possibly be a pity, as matters go, were he deprived of the liberty of its enjoyment. The World remarks, though, and truth, that be has not yet been confined half ao long as many a poor devil who is sentenced to State prison for appropriating a few dollars worth of goods from the bounty of a wealthy merchant or banker. And Frank Wai- worth is not improving his time and paying his board by doing hard labor, ia any of the quarries or stonecutting yards belonging to tho State, He is a comfortable "lunatic" at the Auburn Asylum for Insane Criminals, where he is visited by his friends, and where, it said, he takes his daily exercise, "strutting about the yard with a kind 01 martial cloak around his shoulders." This young man is guilty of the greatest crime against lumanity, as well as the greatest crime gainst morality. He took the life of human being, and that life was the ne to which he owed hia own exist- nce.

And if there is any truth in tbo that he is now insane, or hat he was insana at the time ho committed this awful crime, the very fact mght to be a conclusive argument gainst setting him free again. In he were given his liberty, what ih'ould prevent him from resuming his louble rolo cf umpire and executioner tmocg his relatives? Having been so iuccessful iu his last exploit, he might, 'urthermorc, resolve upon, extending u-he limits of his jurisdiction so as to uclude other people's kindred. Ocn readers mnst excuse us for giv- ng so much of our space to the Gal- voston NEWS. The KKWS seems determined to commit suicide, and we are inclined to furnish it all possible 'iicilities for the accomplishment of lie deed, whether it requires ten feet or a hundred feet of Appt-(i? Very kind in you, but, were the XEWS inclined to commit su- cidc, it would be abundantly able to purchase its own rope, which, unfortunately, is not the case with some which continue to exist only Because-they have no irieuds to provide them with the means of self- destruction and burial. Their condition is that, of Rabelais, who, owning nothing and owing much, gave the rest to the poor.

But, to speak sen ously, the JSEWS can assure its friends, and also its enemies--for it has some cner.ucs, of whom it may lastly fee a there is no immediate ianger of its death, assault, by suicide, natural decay or disease, We know that there are numerous prophets who predict its'teefotal anni hilatiou, because, when the ocaasion demands, it can utter an unpopula: may conduce to tliu greatest efficacy and harmony of action between Siato and municipal health authorities on tho one mud and officers of the National Govern- nent on tlio other.

FORT DODGE, Sept. Gen. Pope, commanding the Department of Missouri: This command has followed the confederated and hostile Indians seven days from Sweet Water to thfi headwaters of the south branch of Red river. Rapid marches were made, arid we jaiued steadily on them till yesterday, when he turned and made an attuck, which was repulsed. The Indians retreated to a strong position, displaying a force of about five hundred warriors.

We made the most extraordinary efforts, and endured every privation, in our rapid pursuit. Iu two days they marched eisty-five miles. They came up attack iu splendid spirits, aud without halt went into the fight. The cavalry, artillery aud infantry were all iu, the Indians, who appeared very brave at first, broke and ran in every direction. Wherever they made a staud tlxey wore charged and routed.

Invalids suffering from pulmonary disease, from asthma, dyspepsia 'aad other chronic diseases, find relief.iu tbe balmy atmosphere that prevails here, But to. I have this bit of advice to-give, aud it based upon the experience of tlie physicians in thu Territory: To those, who are in the earlier stages of the disease, they'can come at' once and direct; but those where tubercles have formed in the lungs, I would earnestly impress upon them, as they value to rush into this hieh and dry latitude at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, as deitth is almost sure to- follow; but to come by easy and 'gradual stages across the plains, and accustom themselves to the change of, air from a low to a high alii: tuie, and, by the time they arrive at the foot of the Rockisp, they will not only fluid themselves, greatly benefited, their lungs will bear the greater strain occasioned by the more rarified atnios- pbere. The camping out, and the labor and exposure connected Vfithy'-'H, is another detuder8.tu.ux, and that should be talken i nto consideration by consumptives who have hopes of an ultimate and complete recovery. Too many rush to this favored clime, by lightning express, ofily to die and be earned back to sorrowing friends in a costly burial caae, wliile if had come in the manner designated, they would be and well, to-day. But there are many other points of interest surrounding Mauilou oE.which I have not space to" speak in this letter, and which will form subject matter A on the UoufiTONj Sept.
