THH DIVISION OF TEXAS.-In Toxaa, i~ this fall, the people will bo called apou ' to vote npon the proposition to divide t. the State into three parts.

There are three sets of opinions among ns: 1. The opiniou 'thut tho fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are nullities, and Hbould be so treated, as also ali the Congressional- ?cts passed to enforce them, .whenever Jue JJ o moo ru tio pur ty comes into power. "Uooonstitutiooul acth, and ?Ter?thing that rests upon shem, are not laws. They are nothing bat nullities. Bo Mr. Jefferson and the D?ajodraoy, in 1800, declared the alien, ?ud .e?ditton laws to bo." Wo'quote from Jax. A..H. Stephens. ' 2. Those who recognize the fourteenth and fifteenth, amendments as do facto parts of the Constitution, declared BO trader the formai .ol law providing for amendments, and only to bo got rid of iu tho same way. They aro valid to all in? tents and purposes until formally re? pealed. They "were carried by bruto force, and by frauds apon tho publia will, so glaring as to take from' their anthon all claim to oar respect. Bat we cannot ?leny that they have actually become a part of the Constitution; norean we avoid that fact, nor get behind it, by Bhowing the cor? rupt miaoobtldot of the mon who con? trolled Copgroaa god mustered the State L?gislatures. : Whosoever swear* to sup pore the Constitution must perform all that is ''nominated in the bond." "Any change which experience aud reason sholl prove to be desirable must be made i - the proscribed wey, and not by revo? lutionary and disorderly moans." We quo to from the Pennsylvania State Democratic Address. We give to thin oor adhesion, as the true and only snfe oourse. o. Those who not only accept the new amendment as valid parts of; tho Con? stitution, bot oppose all agitation now, or hereafter, for their-.repeal-who ac? cept;.tho dsnc'rakory Acts of Congress known as the Reconstruction Acts, as a final settlement pf the questions they dispose of, not to be repealed, con? demned or discussed, bat to be treated as dead issues. This is the new depart? ure platform. So we interptot the se? cond resolution of the series adopted iu Ohio, which is as tallowa: "That waiving all differences bf opi? nion as to tho extraordinary menn? by which tbjey were..brought about, we no. oept the natural and legitimate resulte of the - war, so far as' waged for its ostensible purpose, to maintain the Uui?u'?ii? the GO n slit s ti G r. ?J r i g !; t a ?nd powers of the Federal Government, in? cluding tho t ' ne several nmendmeuU defacto to the ! institution reoontly do dared adopted, asa settlement, in faot, of all the issues of'the war, and to nc qn i eso o in the same as no longer issnei before the country." ;, .This in a Quality to which the State? most affected by the natural and legiti mate reBults of the war are not pr?par?e to subscribo. On the pretext of theil hoing p?turai and legitimate .results, th? States are soaghji to be ousted of theil rightful jurisdiction of their own .oleo tipos and ballot-boxes. Ou like\pretox Congress has'assumed the right to pasi disability Act?-;, test oaths and bills e attainder-to destroy the independent:, and prerogatives bf'the Supr?me Court to nullify the privilege of the writ o habeas corpus-to deprive tho'citizens o the so-called reconstructed Status ? nearly overy guarantee embraoed in tin fi rut i - i amendments to tbeOonstitntioi of the United States. The Presiden bas ueeu endowed with almost supremi military power over them-the liberty ? the oittzen snbjeoted to his arbitrary wil and the States themselves converted inb military satrapies, aud subjected to th rapacity of plundering carpet-bagger and eeallawags, who bold their places b bayobet elections ?(nd stuffed ballot boxes. When the true people of tbos States have occasion to anuounce a plat form of issues they are willing to adop in i a national contest, they will accep no stich results "a's natural and legiti mate. ?.

Thia was done upon pure ground* of demagogiitm for political purposes, and was without foundation, aa we know by Observation and experience. . ID the moral oode of a curtain class of men, "a lie well stuok to ia an good as the truth," and this preju? dice ?gaioat OS has been propagated with an industry which can only bo accounted tor by refereuoe to the axiom quoted. Labor bas never boon deemed dis? graceful at tho South. It is true that the people have, as everywhere else in the world, the Northern States of the Union not excepted, always tried to get along with the smallest amount of labor, and thus to live as easily as praotioable. Before the Into revolution, the circum? stances of a largfo class of our people were easy, sud - the necessity for labor was not urgent on them, os upon the people of lesa favored sections, snob, for instance, as tho dwellers among the gra? nit? hills of New England. Moreover, field work tinder the warm sun during a lung sumtuor is to the white mau some? what harder to endure, tban tba same kind of labor daring thu short Hummers in Vermont or New York. And tbiB fact may have de "eloped un appureutly grout? er rep?gnanos to labor ou tho part of the Southern people. Ail these conces? sions wo uro ready to make. But when it is said that wo are despisers of labor and laborers perse, wo deny the charge.' Al! over thu South in times of slaver; was scattered a large ola*? of small furni? ere, eaoh of whom owned a few slaven with whom he worked, personally super? intending their labor. This was a highly respeoted class among us, and constitut? ed what our political orators were accus? tomed to cull, iu tbe language of oulogy, "the bone and sinew of the country." Among our wealthiest people there were besides a grout roany who bad amassed property by personal .industry. 'These men, as a class, took a real pleasure in recounting to tbe rising generation, tbe story of their early toils and sueoeases. We have known many young men in good circumstances saut to college after having served a few years at thu plow bandies for the purpose o'. acQU<r:sg physical vigor, and a practical knowledge Of the pursuits they were expected to follow. '. Tho idea that labor wac degrad? ing never occurred to thean men. Not only aro we accused of dishonoring labor bat are represented as being in a ututo bordering on anarchy. Y.-t tbe people of this lawless region produced 3,81)0,000 balea of cotton last yt*ur, and an increas? ed corn crop over tbe prodbctiou of the year proviens-all this in spite of the decrease and deterioration of our black labor.: How are suoh results reconcil? able with the hy po thesis that we are de ?piaerk of labor? Away 'with such per? nicious falsehood. The suredt passport to the respect of Southern society is a conran of honest, industry, li A despiser of labor here would be regarded as near? ly akin tu au idiot. DEATII OF Ray. C. P.

A/WESTEHN STOBT.-California fur? nishes a story of diablerie and mystery ?Lieb it^oa^d bc-ijifflcqlt to surpass, 'bnteido tboleg?ndB ?Dd tho trudifxone af the age of ogres, gishta, itfngichjhtj, and all other ?vii Jhiogs.?According, ta this tail of the grotesque, it ^roulqf, appear that so rae tima Ago, ? maa! n auied Gre-' gory;Summerfield, a person said to have boen of extraordinary attainments, lite? rary and scientific, vas luurt'ored by be ?5** throv.'i; from thc **l"t?crm of a ca? on .the ?uion Puciuo . B*ai|road, at Cape Horn. ' A San Francisco lawyer, of ex? cellent repute, named Le?nidas Parker, being the only person on tho platform with him at tho time, suspicion was di? rected against him, and he was arrested as being tho perpetrator of the crime. Twice tried, he was both timos mysteri? ously acquitted. This Parker bas recently died, and, as Ss said, has loft a written statement, in which, while acknowledging that he did kill Summerfield, be explains wherefore. He says that a short time before the death of Summerfield, that person, who waa known as "The Man with a Secret," carno into bis office in San Francisco and told him, with the fire of the dis? coverer ia his eye, that he had fathomed the great secret of making water burn. He had discovered a preparation of po? tassium which would separate the parti? cles and ignite the liberated oxygen, thus creating and recreating its own force, and so consuming until all thc particles were destroyed. For the pos? session of this secret ho demanded the sum of 81,000,000, to be raised in Snn Francisco, under the peualty, otherwise, of the destruction of the world by his setting fire to the Pacific Ocean. , Porker at first thought the mau a lunatic, but upon the trial of ono of his potassium pills iu a basin of water in his office, he suw, to his surprise, that by its iuflueuee the water was changed into a liquid that blazed to tho ceiling uutil it wus consumed. He imparted his disco? very of this dreadful compound to seve? ral gentlemen of San Francisco-a lead? ing banker, a bishop, a chemist, two State University professors, u physician, a jadge, and two Protestant divines, who, with himself, witnessed the experi? ment on a grand scale in a mountain lake ten miles from San Francisco, the waters of whiob, in fifteen minutes, wore entire? ly consumed. Summerfield growing importunate, the committee became alarmed. Ho demanded the money, and finally, as a last resort, it was determined th destroy Mia man who hold the fate of the world in his hands. Parker, who knew the gorges and windings of the Pacific Railroad, was chosen as his'exe? cutioner. Summerfield was decoyed by Parker to the spot, and hence the tra gedy, Tn tho conclusion of hie docu? ment, he says: "I selected Capo Horn as tbe best adapted to the purpose, and * * * tho public know? tho rest. Hav? ing been fully acquitted by two tribunals of tho law, I make this final appeal to my fellow-men throughout tho State, end ask them confidently not to reverse the judgment already pronounced." To this mysterious and dramatic affair, but ono fact remains to be added. Parker hiUBelf died insane, just after writing bis statement, a victim to newspaper com? ments upon bis connection with the ex? traordinary case of Summerfield. - WHO TAUAPOBBO IS?-Captain Tulia ferro, who lately "swore like our army io Flanders," before the Ku Klux Com? mittee at Washington, has been un? earthed at .last. The Selma Times found him first, and, according to the Times, here he is: "We on ca know a private in tho Gon federate army by the name of Taliaferro, who hailed from Bulb more, who was a camp follower and skulker, and who helped to murdo' five Yankee prisoners near Madisou, Georgia, in November, 180% and wo wonld not bo surprised if this fellow was the very man. For his sworn statements to tbe Outrage Com? mittee are just in consonance with tho bead and heart of a man who wonld cowardly take to the woods (tied) five prisoners, who hud surrendered them? selves, and put a pistol to their heads and murder them. Only such a man could so wilfully misrepresent bis peo? ple." TUE CORRUPT FBBBDMEN'S BURKAU. Oeu. O. O.
