GraBt jin4 Secretary FlMli. General Grant and Senator Conkling the special "WaeliiDgton correspondent of tlie Cincinnati Enquirer, in cUapat-Tb dated December 2, to declared in fayoroi Secretary Fish for General Grant in conver- M.tion -with friend one last week said: I hVva trodden on too many corne to strong candidate now, und "will bide my time. Secretary Fisn is my choice and I will do all I can to secure his nomination and election." Per contra, a special dispatch to the Orleans Picayune, dated December 21, "The publication ol the fact that the President has the evidence in his hands of Secretary Fish's duplicity, for resignation will be de- great excitement in cffl cial circles. It is plainly evident that Fish (lards in the way. in respect to Cuban matters, and the President, intending retnovi the way by publishing evidences of personal disloyalty to him, and will allege that ai cnse." A diapatch from Washington to the Cincinnati Coniaurdal, dated December 24, tits above, and nctds further.

Gentlemen who are well informed with regard, io the relations between the Prea- i drat and Sscrstaij Fish, assert that the PrendflDt hao had in his hand since the Virginins aur eworn documentary evidence to establish the fact that Mr. Fian had, evar sines I860, inspired numerous newspaper articleii on our affairs with foreign" nations, which, while they have been unsparing in criticism and abuse of the have also been filled with prttise of the Secretary. These articles are wid to have been written for the moat part by Sidney Webster, Mr. Fish's who is the attorney of the Spanish government, and to have been printed in one of the most prominent Democratic of the country. It is also alleged that other evidence of Mr.

Fiah'o duplicity have been accumulating in the PresiaenVB hands, and that is merely.awaiting the proper Ume to punish the offonder. This is one of the chief reasons why tho early resignation of tht Secretary is confidently anticipated and another one is that tbe Secretary is believed to be the chief obstacle at present to tlie President's purpose to bring about a war with Spain in behall of Cuba. It would rppear that the relations ol the President and Secretary are somewhat mixed. Vmth ir AuolUrr Ola Texan. THE LATE JOHS D.

The gentle and ajrectioimte wife yet awaits the lammona of tits Master to a reunion with the bsloved: companion of more than forty years in that final home where the heart's best and holiest affec tions, secured bj death, are reuhitec forever.

The Paris Iforth Texan has the name Coke op for Governor, Brack (or Attorney General, and Bramlette, of jamar, for Commissioner of the Land Office. The Korth Texan gives tbo foKow- ng as a sample oC "what an industrial nd economical yount; man may ac- omplish by his own labor in Texas: A young man near Brookston, nine miles from Paris, whoso name is Lewis loser, came to that neighborhood from Alabama in 18T3, a total stranger, without means and without friends, nd at onco began to job around, doing inytliing and everything that offered, iy which to obtain an honest living, he arrived too lato to make a crop hat year.

At the end of the cropping eason he went into a rude camp and iegan making ratls for. fencing a farm fifty acres, for another party, lor ihichhe was to have the use of the land ho next season. With the assistance young man ho cultivated the whole fifty acres, making a splendid ield of corn and cotton, enabling him go on another year with more ease, in 1873, he rented tlie same farm and acres adjoining. only one man to help him, and that for only nine months, ho cultivated in good style tho whole seventy acres, making four hundred bushels corn and twenty-four bales of cotton also ive acres of broom-corn, from which realized forty dollars per acre. He has now bought one hundred and eight acres of splendid land, paying two- thirds the purchase money in cash, ind has money enough left to build all houses, fence the land, and run lim through, another cropping season.

The Brownwood Eaqla hoists the name of Coke for Governor, but says nothing of candidates for other State ffices. The East Texas Patron condemns the deaof making a member of tho a house of Forster, Ludlow fc State Treasurer. Judge levine, of Sim Antonio, seems likely to be put forward for the nited States Senate. So eays the Jan Antonio Expres. Tho Clebnrne Cltronide says: Just now there seems to be a feel- prevalent, to some extent, that tho new constitution should be adopted as a Democratic document, irrcspcct- va of its intrinsic merit.

Influential papers tell us that it is a Democratic neasure, and ought to have a a support, -whether deserving or This kind of reasoning will not do. A constitution, in a party seuae, ought not to be Democratic. It its desig any part, is to promote party, to detriment of the citizen, tliou no irne Democrat is bound to its support. the rights of a single individual aro Infringed for party ends, let the party fail cr change its course. But do not ask the support of the new constitution as a tost of democracy.

Tho Democratic party ot Texas -will remain, whether tho now constitution is adopted or DC-t. Bet honest discussion bring to light advantages the new instrument, then the people will not require- tho urging of party ties to mn for it their support. Tbe Jefferson Leader commends tho efforts which have been lately made.in various quarters to check the popular vice of gambling, and calls the attention ol offenders in that quarter to the late charge of Judge Gilmore to the Grand Jury' at Marshall, instructing them particularly to 'use all proper mcns to secure evidence and to promptly indict all found engaged in this pcnicious business. Tho Leader particularizes cases of gnming in Jefferson, refers to the inefficiency of the municipal authorities in suppressing tho evil, and calls ou the District Attorney, the Bworn lnvf officer of the State, whose laws-are being daily violated, to take steps tobring the offenders to justice. The 'Leader refers to the apithy of the Mayor of Jefferson in the matter, and says: Without being egotistical we say that if WB possessed the power the Mayor has, in twenty-four hours time there would not be a gambling hell open in onrciiy.

The Mayor can close these dens if ho has tbe courage to brave the enmity of tho gambling. Jrateriiity in our city. Wo know that personally Col. Taylor is a brave man.
