tff* We have 'heretofore expressed
onr willingness to accept the present
-condition* of things and bear political
misfortunes with the beet possible
grace, waiting patiently for timo to
right all-wrong*. We are still willing
to accept things a* they arc, and wait
for any wrong or oppressive act on the
part of a radical government or radical
congress before we condemn. We are
Turther willing to wait for Gen. Grant's
inauguration as President before we
mark out his policy. Dot their is one
'thing we will not and ran not do; wo
will not delude ourselves with the vaiu
hope that Grant will extend to U9
-special favor becanse of bis Democratic
proclivities. There is on the port of
many of the jonrnals of onr country a
tendency to court the President elect
and claim hint as a Democrat, and
therefore promise much from his ad
ministration of the Government; this
we regard as wrong, and there can no
good come of it. Gen. Grant was the
nominee of a radical convention ; was
elected by radical votes and can be re
garded as nothing else but a radical.
To claim him ns a Democrat is to
charge him with sin before-he-commits
offence. Jk3 strong 'as we believe in
4he principles of the Democratic party
We would rather see Gen. Grant a rad
ical than to know him a Democrat. As
earnestly as we desire to see a Demo
cratic President in the chair, we do not
-desire to see him obtain thatseat under
false pretence. Certainlv we have no
right to claim Gen. Grant as a Demo
crat; and if he were, much of the little
faith wo have in him would be shaken.
We ahall lend to Gen. Grant the sup
port due him from every good citizen
until in his office he departs from his
duty. We shall uphold him iu (he ad
ministration of the Government if he
makes the constitution his guide and
justice his rule. But when he departs
fTom right; when ho fails to respect the
constitution, wo shall denounce him
unsparingly and war against him con
tinually. These things we will do, but
■wo cannot ciuira him as a Democrat.
J®*We lay before our readers this
Week the message of Governor Clayton
to the Legislature; as a message it is
an entire failure, but as a tirade against
the people and a -misrepresentation of
facts, it is quite a success. Let shame
foide her face and refuse to he seen in

■hiraaeif Governor of the State, whose
people he tolls his Legislature are so
Swlterly opposed to the government
which lie is administering. Were he
juBtly Governor of the State, he would
be so by the votes of a majority of her
■citterns, and they would support him
for who they had voted in his office
and in the administration of his laws.
While the Governor under every head
upon which ho addresses the Legisla
ture gives vent to his radical spleen,
fcn3 trembles with affh'ght nt the im
aginary presence of Xu-Klnx, he plain
ly tells to the thinking, caudid world,
that he and his Legislature are not ac

The LTfcti of the Election of
Ooneral Oran! In (he South.
Wc have observed our Southern ex
changes carefully since the election,
and have been unable to discover, witli
•lion of any other feeling than that of
sincere acquiescence in the success of
General Grant. For the most part the
Southern loading papers have eschew
ed the discussion of politics in any
spirit of bitterness, and, like a promi
nent Georgia paper, suggest to the
Southern pocple the propriety or set
tling dowu caimiy j»nJ taking a busi
ness view of the situation. They do
not advise a Southern State to abate
one jot of her claims to constitutional
equality, or withdraw a aing'e protest
she may have made against the usurpa
tions of a Radical Congress; but they
advise. ‘'Let not the intellect and
energy •or-the South bo wholly devoted
to the themes.” These are wise and
timely suggestions, and we repeat, in
stead ofrancoreui partisan articles, we
are glad to see that the pens of the
most influential Southern writes arc
already devoted to the consideration
of topics calculated to attract the atten
tion of capitalists to tbt> vn-'l resources
of the country, and bv building new
railroads, new telegraph lines, estab
lishing new lines of steamers, erecting
free school-houses, organizing agricul
tural societies nnd offering premiums
for Ihe best specimens of agricultural
products, not only restore the South to
ier pristine prosperity, but open a
pathway for her to reach a still higher
degree of wealth and greatness.'- It is
only necessary for our Southern
friends to eoutiuue in this coarse,
which is one signally demanded by the
progress of the age and of the Ameri
can nation particularly, to insuro for
them a complete restoration to their
former rights and influence. It is folly j
for them'tv contend any longer against ,
thereceuairilcttou law. bad aud tyrant- ‘

Tbc “Wbal la Ilf”
Grant continues to keep his place as
the great "What is it?’’ of the Ameri
can museum ot political wonders and
enigmas. There “were some politicians
presumptuous enough to believe that
as soon ns the election was over, they
could penetrate the blank crust of his
silence, and the still blanker crust of
his speech, and pluck out the heart of
his mystery, with as much ease as Bar
num, had he chosen, could have cut
through the gutta percha covering of,
the original -Whatis It?” and exhibited
the bouts and bowels, the whole of the
Internal anatomy and physiology of
that marvelous creature, in the shape of
wood, glue and sawdust. But thus far
they have utterly failed, with nil their
devices, to mitigate to tlie penetrable
point the integumentary toughness of
the President eUict. It is useless to in
quire whether tile failure of every at
tempt to get (ft his political bottom, is
because he is bottomless in the sense of
having uo depth, or in the sense of
being deep beyond fathoming. He
baffles speculation. Radical and Con
servative, Democrat and Republican,
are equally lost in a wilderness of sur
mise when they attempt to explore his
political probabilities and potentiali
ties For once, the inquisitive audacity1
aud the guessing ingennitv of Yankee
dom stand aghast, diacomfltted and dis
consolate. This human problem, which
they arrogantly faucied they could re
solve as quickly as take to pieces a
wooden clock, stolidly mocks their
questioning* and conjecturing*, and re
turns their brazen stare witli a look as
paralyzing to curiosity as the calm,
eternal gaze of the Egyptian sphinx,
and as defiant of interrogation as a
mummy Pharaoh.
What has more especially puzzled the
political quidnuncs of late'about Grant
is the strange muddle which lie has
made in the way of bestowiug his pres
ence at both public and private enter
tainments. For example, after break
fasting with a company of rank Radi
cals at Deltnonicos, he dined at the As
tor House with a select gathering,
comprising conservative Republicans,
war Democrats, peace Democrats,
Johnson men, but not a single repre
sentative of unadulterated, straight out
Radicalism. Nay, more. The latter
occasion was a testimonial to Attorney
General Evarts, who owed his positiou
in tlie cabinet and this banquet in his
honor, to the fact, that he was chief
counsel for the President in *h» !•«;
Ueachmcnt trial, which, ns neonle inn.
posed at the time, was precipitated bv
the coalition of Grant with the Radiea'l
impeachers. The great majority of the
guests belonged to the legal profession,
the respectable members of which, it is
well known, looked with peculiar ab
horrence on the conspiracy to impeach
the President, from purely partisan
motives, and without any constitution
al ground of accusation. Yet Grant
mingled convivially with an assem
blage thus constituted, and could say,
as he did say in a brief and character
istic reply to the regular toast to the
President elect, that from no other body
of men would he have received such a
compliment with higher gratification.
It is not to be supposed that the per
plexity of the creme de la creme of
Radicalism as to Grant will become
less from this time until inauguration.
The Colfaxes, the Binghams, the Bout
wells, the Ashlevs, the Butlers of the
North, and their carpet-bag and scala
wag admirers and followers in the
South, can no more tell the precise
course, or the precise political destina
tion, of the new President, than they
can calculate the movements or the re
sults of the next earthquake. They
have got the next presidency, but they
have not tlio least idea ns to what they
have got. They must await the issue
with much the same feelings as a man
would await the hatching of eomo cu
rious egg found along the seashore, not
knowing whether a crocodile or a tur
tle, a fowl or a snake would come out
of the she'll. But the matter 1ms this
favorable aspect at least: the more these
Radicals are mystified and anxious
about Grant, the more room is there
for hope in regard to his future on tlie
part of right-thinking, honest, and pa
triotic citizens. flV may not know
what he will come to, any more than
we may know what will be the next
freak of the chignon, ortho next de
velopment of the Grecian bond. But
if the Radical crew who used to threat
en us with Grant as though perfectly
sure of him as an instrument of ven
geance in their hands against their po
litical enemies, are now ns ignorant as
we, and even more concerned, as to the
character and complexion of his admin
istration, the fact is one on which wo
may hang no inconsiderable felicita
tion.—N. O. Crescent.

What Work Will Do.
About twenty-three years ago a col
ony of German immigrants settled at
New Braunfels, at the Junction of the
Gundnlonpc and Comal rivers in Texas.
They worked hard, were frugal and
sober, and now can boast of a flourish
ing city and county scat containing
fonr thousand Inhabitant*. Comal
county embraces near nine hundred
square miles of fertile land in a high
state of cultivation. The principal
staples arc corn and cotton, and in the
town of New Braunfels new houses
arc springing up on every side. This
town possesses thirty dry goods
stores, thrye flour mills, three saw j
mills, one cotton and one woolen elotli i
manufactory, a sash factory, and work-1
shops for every trade. The Southwest |
is supplied with carriages, wagons, j
saddletrees and barrels from tiiis place, j
U is an extensive cotton mart, export-!
ing to Mexico annually several thou- \
sand hales. The town lias immense'
water power, the Comal river having |
in a little over a mile a fall or niomen-:
tu n of two thousand horse power, j
The connty is well supplied with !
schools, one of them having an average j
attendance of about three hundred pu
pils.
This is the fruit of twenty-three
years of labor, and while we do not I
iook for a New Braunfels, a hundred
limes repeated, within the confines of
this State, there should bo no rashness
in believing tiiat we ran at least equal
the industry of the German colony in
Texas. It is not necessary here to be
gin at the very beginning. Land, fer
tile laud, is abundant and can be bought
at a low price. Railroads, which
govern the value of produce, traverse
every part of the State. There is at
our doors a laboring population which,
under proper supervision and direc
tion, will answer our purpose belter
than any other kind of labor which we
could now obtain. We have the re
sources, and knew how to develop
them; and the example of the little
Texas town must not he overlooked be
cause we have made a lair crop of cot
ton, rice, and corn. 'Conml marked
each stride forward by the erection of
a mill or factory, and the same should
be done here. Water power can always
be found and wood for buildings and
for fuel can he cut fora trifle. South'
Carolina is ready and willing; and, if
her people will give 'her an oppor
tunity, she will makp it evident that
work will do for us all that it lias done

f |:ecu!:i(lon Abou) Ills Trial.
Washington Dispatch to the N. V. Herald ]
It is perfectly well understood licrc
that the trial of Jefferson Davis cannot
and will not take place to-morrow.
Mr. Davis could not possibly get to
Richmond to-morrow to he present at
his trial, and if it had hoen intended
that the trial should begin so soon, lie
would have been notified in person.
As this was not done it is fair lo pre
sume that the Government is no nearer
ready, to enter into his trial than it was
a year ago. The term of the Supreme
Court of the United States is so near at
hand that the Chief Justice would not
be able to preside at Davis’ trial ; be
sides, Attorney General Kvarts is still
in this city, ami does not expect to go
to Richmond to-morrow, 'll is believed
that the trial will be again postnoned
until some day in next term. There
are those here who think that
the ex-Prosidcnt of the rebel Confed
eracy will never ho tried ; that the case
will be postponed from time to time
until some other method of disposing
of it shall be found. Some persons of
the legal profession are of the opinion
that General Grant will remove the
whole difficulty by recommending
Congress to pardon Mr. Davis aud lei
him go. If this should not bo done,
it is confidently believed that some
other means of avoiding a trial will
he discovered. It lias been seen tint,
in certain cases where the Government
lias been concerned, the prosecution
can make common cause with the de
fendant, as exemplified in Stanton vs.,
General Lorenzo Thomas ami the Gov
ernment vs. Johu II. Surratt.
US" A sign which gives color to the
popular reports in regard to Gen.
Graut’s conservatism is the generally
conceded intention among the Radical
Senators not to rescind the ‘•tenure of
office act,” atifI several other guards
with which the late Congress consid
ered it necessary to environ the office
of President. Whether or not Gen.
Grant will respect this unconstitutional
measure, anti become a mere puppet in
the hands of designing politicians, we
will probably discover enily in his
administration. If ho docs, lie certain
ly wiil not prove to he the man of
determination represented by his
friends during the canvass: while, on
the other hand, any blow struck by the
President at ti.e Congressional olig
archy will lie loudfv annlauded and
encouraged by all , unset valivo people I
in the country. Mentioned in conitec- '
Mon with these designs of the Radical j
Congress, we notice a project to erect
a splendid National i’alace as a Presi
dential residence in lieu of the White
House. The idea is nodoubt prompted '
by the belief that a lilo of show and j
ceremony, with plenty of money, will!
sufficiently gratify the ambition of the
new President to prevent him from
meddling with governmental duties,1
other than assenting to whatever a par- I
11 sail Congress may decree, it is the
opinion of Gen. Grant's most intimate ,
friends that in lids they are doomed to
disappointment. His long military
services have taught him to distinguish
between true and false glory, Instiuc- j
lively he values power quite as much,
if not more, than he does wealth or
show:'.ve therefore conclude that be
will not exactly fill ihe Radical bill. \
A fair and honest misunderstanding .
between the President and the Radical j
party at Ihe outset of the administra
tion on this point uould not but be \
productive of the happiest results to'
tlie country, and wbo knows but we
may see it. At all events their rela
tions are not destined to be all sun- j
shine. The clounds are gathering;1

Locking Bp Greenbacks.
A great deal has been paid of late about
"locking up greenback*” for the purpose
of making money scarce, and to those
unversed id financial strategy the follow
ing explanation of the process will be
found interesting. The fallowing was the
mode first employed: Several parties
would consolidate their capital to the ex
tent of several hundred thousand dollars
in greenbacks, and leaving this heavy
amount as collateral security with some
moneyed institution, borrow an equal
amount at say seven per cent interest
The collateral, of course, could not be
used by the institution. With the fresh
supply of funds the operators would pro
ceed to a second bank and lock up another
heavy amount of greenbacks, and so keep
on until they had removed from circula
tion several millions of money. Strin
gency would follow; speculative shares
would decline, and the operators would
step in and reap the benefit of their sharp
practice- The acceptance of greenback
collaterals by the banks occasioned so
much dissatisfaction and complaint that
they finally abandoned the practice, and
the plan now pursued for locking up
greenbacks is to borrow them on railway
stocks.—St. Louis Journal of Commerce.

This is an absolute majority of the

meaning is, that if there had been a
perfectly fair election, Seymour would
have carried everyone of the Southern
States, which is perfectly true. The
World likewise estimates that about
500,000 Democrats were disfranchised.

show that, cvet. if we allow the whole
negro vote of the disfranchised States
to Grant—say 175.000—Seymour would
still have a handsome popular majori
ty. Leaving out the negroes, and con
sidering only the while vote, Seymour
would have a popular majority of

Number of Cattle In Texas.
The number of cattle in Texas, accor
ding to the assessment is about 5,000,000
and in the whole United States only
about 8.000.000. The natural Increase
of 5.000,000 is about one and it quarter
million per annum—a rate of increase
that in a very few years would exhaust
the pasturage ou these beautiful prai
ries wore there not some extraordinary
depletion aside front sales, which
amount to about 350,000 head per an
num. What becomes of the otiiet 750,
000 has puzzled me to ascertain. Among
the causes may be mentioned large
numbers destroyed by animals such as
wolves, panthers, Mexican tigers, etc.,
which me very numerous, incsc ti
gers, or Mexican lions as they »i-p call
ed, are of immense strength, and there
is a well authenticated ease of one
killing two ponies yoked together and
dragging their bodice nearly a quarter
of a mile.
Almost tha entire population also
live upon veal meat. It is the univer
sal custom to kill the first calf they
come at, and there is very little com
plaint at the custom. Many arc killed
for their hides by vagabond whites and
negroes, who make a living by this
means. Another cause is the terrible
northers, which frequently kill them
by the thousand, and still another is
the sr vru drouths which occasionally
prevail. The very severe one of I860
destroyed about one-half the cattle of
Western Texas, leaving ft is supposed
about, 2,000,000 head. In spite of all
these causes of depletion, they have
more titan doubled in four years, and it
is evident Texas can easily furnish one
million head per annum.
