When Henry Watterson—the bosom friend of Mr. Tilden and his champion four years ago—announce- that no ion ed more than six months since the cniet of 1876 would under circumstances accept a renomi if tendered him, and the same being caught up by Democratic leaders all ever the country as tinal, an apparent almost uni- versal the that the old ticket should be this year. But a sentiment so deep rooted is very hard to change or erad- icate by even the sagacious methods. Followmg the wisdom of their American instinct as well the dictates of their teeling, the rank and file of the Democracy refused to budge from their well chosen ground, and though they said and did little, stay ‘“‘all tne same" with Tilden and) Hendricks. Like Gen. Grant's f tamous n on the Potomic, it check was ma le to the sentiment with masses chosen most as they were there tu cam- and pa won, the yictory which now seems a fore- gone conclusion was made possible by about the same power as that which terminated the Rebellion and brought the Southern to grief.

Hon. Thos. P. ' ‘Ochiltree ‘ Member of Congress from Texas and Proposer ot the Famous Lasker Resolution. There is probably no other Rep resentative in the Forty-eighth Con gress whose name is more frequent- ly mentioned throughout the United States, and even in foreign countries than is that ot the ibove Congress- man trom Texas. ‘This sudden no- toriety has been gamed by Mr. Och- iltree’s introduction a few weeks ago | in the House ot Representatives, of the now famous Lasker resolutions, } has thrust | j which Prince Bismarck back upon our Congress with the in timation that our country should at- | tend to its own affairs. This insutt | stirs the American heart to resent it, j and brings Mr. Ochiltree into a na- tional prominence in connection with the affair which will perpetuate name inour civil history. Mr. Ochiltree 1s a resident of Gal- veston, Texas, and the first Texan ever elected to our Congress. He represents twenty-seven countie which compose the seventh district and comprise Over 37,000 square miles or territory, reaching from Galveston, on the Gulf, to Eagle Pass, on the Upper Rio Grande. He was elected to Congress as an Inde- pendent by a majority exceeding 3,- 000 votes over Findlay the Demo- cratic candidate. After receiving a limited education at the public schools of lis State, at the age of seventeen he became ay | private in the Texas Rangers, and | was engaged in the campaign against | the Apache and Comanche Indians | in 1854-55. When the war broke j out Mr Ochiltree went in with the | | Confederacy, and his war record on | | the staffs of General Green, Taylor | his j | | native | and Sibley is replete with incidents | of bravery that would have | more profitable in a better cause. ; but when the victorious armies of the North had suppressed the rebel- lion, Colonel Gchiltree accepted the been ; new order of things in good faith. and in time was appointed United States Marshal ot Texas by Presi- dent Grant, and there-after was ap- pointed United States Commissioner of Emigration to Europe, in which capacity he several times yisited for- eign countries, and when in- Beriin Bis- had numerous audiences with marck on emigration affairs. In personal appeara j tree is one of the original freaks of | human nature. Heavy set. with ca- | nary colored unkempt hair, and a j heavy hght colored mustache, eyes j twinkling with good nature, a rubby j complexion, protruding lips and | rather antiquated dress, he 1s a strik- j ing oddity in the present Congress, | but very popular and always the cen- | i tre ot a groupe of attentive listeners. | STOCK AND FaRM. the Subject Taken exghboring Excha iH ty Kansas City. only seven were feet, eleven dead and thre I The cat men of Northe and Eastern Texas et in conve tion at Dallas on Tuesday next. or the event are Great prepara being made by the citizens, and a great banquet is on the programme.
