could in nine cases our. of ton prompt
pine further questioning and inveatig.v

"vo business roars abwut thorn uvory
ay without dragging thorn into
ta torrent. They are surrounded by
body ot which they are , and yet
to not , a part. They are never

iaa boon found in Texas. They are sim-
ily ignored.Vhito mombots rarely
peak to or have any communication with

; nthor round them to wear out the time
f a tiresome speech with funny mice-
otes or waggish stories. They are i arc-
consulted in regard to their views
pen pending questions. They scarcely
ivor do inoro than answer to the roll call
, nd record llioir votes on motions.
Neither has risen to move a single propo-
'tion. or introduce n bill the present , sea-
on. But Bonio interesting facts have
con drawn from these stolid , silent
members , nevertheless.
TJIKCOLOUUIMOTE.
Tn a conversation with ono of them
ostoiday ( R , J. Moore , of Washington
ounty ) ho stated what may bo news to
nany readers of The Globo-Domocr.vt ,
ilthough n thrice-told tale to the people
if this state. Mr. Moore says that under
fair apportionment , fair election and
loncat count there is no doubt that the
olorcd people of Texaa could elect ton
oprcsontatives and two senators to the
ogislaturo. Ho professes to have the
'acts and figures at hand to con-
inco any ouo of this who cares
o give the subject examination.
Ho wont on to rccito that in past years
"iVashington county , then a senatorial
listrict. was represented by a colored
nan Burleson ; that the counties of
Vnshington , Waller and Fort Bond have
clear majority of colored votes as a dis-
, rict. Ho thinks Harris , Walker , Mont-
; emery and Briworin could probably elect
colored senator , oven iindor the now
ipportionment. But Harris county , em-
nacing at it does the city of Houston ,
nil always so manage as to prevent the
lection of a colored senator. Harris
iounty did elect Richard Allen ( col
ored ) senator for several ys.irs bo-
ore the days of final reconstruction ,
ilontgomery county also did the same ,
, nd had a colored senator in the twelfth
nd thirteenth legislatures , and Moore
hinks also in the fourteenth. There
ave been colored senators in the legisla-
urea for eight yearn lait past , and Sena-
or Chosnoy ( white ) was only ploctad this
ear by the colored vote being divided
pen two of their race , and ono of those
came near an election oven then. Burden -
don ( colored ) was senator from that dis
trict for eight years ; is a man of fair cd-
ication ; was once sheriff of the county ;
is now a prosperous farmer , and gained
considerable notoriety not long since by
giving his "young mistress" ( the daughter
of his old master is meant by this term ) a
Jcnt of $1,000 in cash ,
llen is still living in Houston ; is a
street contractor , about 45 , but was a
carpenter by trade. His people consider
nm one of the ablest colored men ii
ho state. He makes a good speech , is i
man of good judgment , and has accumu
lated considerable property. So as
Moore knows , those men were botl
treated fairly ivhilc in the senate.
Matthew Gaincs ( colored ) was senator
n the Twelfth , Thirteenth and Four
tconth legislatuies from Washington
county and drew a six years' term ,
Moore pronounces him active , snmrt
about 45 , a Baptist minister , with fair
education in English and speaking tin
latter well. Ho also mentioned that G
T. Ilnby , deceased , was senator from
Galvcston at one time an uncommon !
fine scholar , a teacher by profession an
a man of line talents. Ho died in Now
Orleans three or four years ago.
Moore also mentioned the names of a
number of other colored men -who had
been representatives , and among them A.
W. Wilder , A. L. Sledge and B. O.Guy ,
all of whom had represented Washington
county m the house at differmit times.
Roberts ( colored ) represented Harrison
county in the Twelfth and Thirteenth
legislatures , and B. F. Williams ( colored )
Fort Bend county during the same pe
riod. Hal. Ycagor ( colored ) , from Ilob-
insoii county , was in the fourteenth and
sixteenth sessions. Robert Carr ( col
ored ) , from Bastrop county , was a member -
ber of tliu Fifteenth , and R. J. Evans
and Thomas Beck ( both colored ) , from
Grimes , of the Sixteenth and Seven ,
toonth legislatures. There were , ho
thought , others , but ho remembered
these distinctly.
A COLOIIKI ) I.l'dleLATOK.
Mr. Moore is a half-blood , about .15 ;
parents both dead ; received part of a
common school education at Mutamoras ,
Mexico ; was deputy aheritt'of Washing ,
ton four years ; deputy collector in same
county four years ; ran for the eighteenth
tonatn and wa * elected over James Holt ,
ono of the wealthiest white men in the
county. Moore says the people believe
him honest , so ho carried the solid Ger
man vote of the county ( # hich ia at least
1,500) ) , the unbroken colored vote , mid
made some inroads upon the white dem
ocratic vote , which Holt expected to got.
There waa no trouble whatever at the
poll ? in his county , and has not been
since 1870. The races are friendly.
Ho mentioned , incidentally , that Evans
( colored ) would have been a member of
the _ house this year in place of Dr. Me-
Alpine , but the whiles broke up the olec *
tion , broke open the ballot-boxes and
scattered the ballots to the winds , and
the doctor got the cortiticito of election.
Ho eaye the colored people in that toe.
tion of the country are industrious and
doing well. In some places they owu
the land for miles , have teed ; faroii and
stock , nnd nro prospering iit Ml ways.
Ho says they nro nl o buying land
nnd getting homos nil o\er Texas.
Along the line of the railroad
between Austin nnd San Antonio
they nro settling in largo numbers ,
and in the vicinity of Wnoo , on the
Brazes river , whole neighborhoods of
prosperous farmers nro colored people.
So far as ho knows his rnco is doing better
tor m Texns than nny whnro else , nnd nre
securing lands nnd homesteads in nil
parts of the state. In the city of Austin
they hnvo largo possessions in houses nnd
lots , and nro ns frugal nnd industrious as
any other people.
Mr. Moore is over six feet high.woighs
about 170 pounds , has n pleasant , sodatu
countenance , is n blight mulatto , nnd
possesses much general information
nc < iuirod , ho says , mainly by rending. His
colored associate in the house is George
W. Wyntt , n full-blooded African , quick
nnd sharp in expression , with n full
share of the humor of his race , nbout
thirty , heavily built , five foot eight
inches in height , nnd wns elected from
Waller county , where the colored ma
jority ranges from TiOO to ( iOO votes. The
colored people elect whom they please to
oflico there. Tlio only difficulty is in
uniting thorn upon ono candidate. Wal
ler county now has four colored } county
commissioners , n colored clerk of the
court nnd some constables , elected by
popular voto. Wyatt hns n limited ed
ucation , ronda nud writes well , 1ms n
practical knowledge of arithmetic , but is
not n public speaker. Ho teaches some
times , nnd travels n good deal for the
United Brothers of Friendship.
COI.OHKI ) .SCHOOLS.
Inquiry nt the oflico of the sUto school
superintendent olicitcd the fact that
there nro 1,21) ) ; ! common schools ntho
stiUo exclusively for colored children in
! > 7 of the 171 counties. These schools
nro managed by colored trustees , nnd re
ceive the anne apportionment per scholar
ns these for white children. The super
intendent estimates the whole number
of free schools for colored children in
Texas nt nbout 12,000. In nddition to
these ho has ropoits from 15 of the -15
cities in the stnto , which report 'M free
colored schools. The attendance nt the
stnte colored schools last yenr was
(0,580 ( , and the city schools reported
12,739 , making n total enrollment for the
present school year of > U'ilO. :
There is ono colored normal school nt
Prairie View , in the vicinity of Ilomp-
stead , Waller county. The attendance
is nbout 1C > 0 per niimnn , nnd the nvcrago
cost of the institution nbout $7,500 per
numim , exclusive of repairs. During
10 past year nn equal amount was ox-
ended in enlarging nnd repairing the
uildings , nnd n total amount of $15,000
as expended therefor. This institution
managed by n board of directors , who
oport annually to the governor. The
olorcd normal school hns boon ably man-
red in the post , nnd is confessedly su-
orior in that regard to any similar in-
itution in the stato.
In nddition to this normal school there
ro several institutiona'in the state in the
itorost of highhor education for the col-
red pcoplo of Texas. Among them ia
10 Tillotaon institute at Austin , a col-
jgo at Marshall , nnd another collegiate
ourse at Wnco. These nro nil sustained
y endowments nnd private subscription ,
no or two of them are denominational ,
ut all .110 devoted to liighoreducation
ave from IOO to 200 students each every
enion , nro fairly rrnnagcd , nud are doing
inch to iniso the standard of letters nnd
oncral intelligence among the colored
oople.
UCOllflAKl/.IKO Till ! SCHOOL 8VRTEM.
A bill will bo introduced in the house
c-Jay by the committee on education
hich provides for the reorganization of
f tlio common school system of the
ate , including the colored ns well ns
10 white. This bill is understood tc
onio mainly from Secretary Baker , nnd
mbodies the result of his experience
nd observation. It provides for n state
uporintondont of common schools ,
ounty superintendents nnd examiners
nd common school districts throughou1
lie state bounded by geographical lines ,
nd governed by the ordinary schoo
rustees or directors. *
Secretary Baker's private opinion is
hat the plan of placing colored schooh
indor the management of colored trus
rccs is n bad ono , nnd should bo nban
loned. Ho finds the colored poopli
acking in trained , disciplined mon fit to
> o intrusted with the government of frer
ichools , nnd believes that inasmuch ft
ho white pcoplo pay substantially all thi
roe school taxes , they are ontitloc
o supervise the expending of the !
own money , nnd ought to govern
ind control ajl colored schools. Ho
seems to forgot that it would tnkospocial
cgislation to accomplish this ; that the
'ree-school money comes largely from
jovernmont lands uivon for tiioir sup-
tort , and that the state is merely n trus-
oo in the matter , and that n door once
opened in the direction of class or .rnco
distinction would be in violation of the
ate constitutional amendments , and lead
0 national at well ns state legislation.

The old fort is iitm-cognizablc. 1m-
monso cottonweed trees have grown up
on the river bank , nnd while the earth
works along the river nro plainly visible ,
n largo rotten field has obliterated the
rest of the fort.
From Fort Henry to Pittsburg Land
ing the country hns changed iftry little.
Savauimh , the place where Gen. Grant
had his headquarters before the battle ,
hat bi'como quite n thriving little town ,
nnd quitii n largo business is done there.
It WR * by the enrly light of the morn
ing of Thursday , April 5 , Hint I caught
sight of the tall lltigstnfF in the cemetery
nt 1'itU'nirg ' 1/inding. Tlio stair stands
on the spot , almost , where the old log
hospital once stood , nnd nround it nro
arranged , in regimental groups , the remains -
mains of the soldier * who were killed in
the bnltloi nnd skirmishes nnd who died
in the hospital * botnoon Fort Henry nnd
Florence , Ala.
I was met nt the landing by the super
intendent of the cemetery , Cnpt. L. S.
Doolittlo , n veteran of the Ninety-sixth
Illinois infantry. After n short stay nt
his beautiful homo , just outside the
cemetery walls , I took n stroll
through the cemetery. After entering
through the mnssivti iron gnto , pissing
the immense cannon sot on end , 1 stood
in the midst of fallen heroes. The first
grave is tlmt of Henry Burke , of Ohio ,
better known ns tlio "Drummer Boy of
Shiloh. " On the Mill day of May of
each year the union people from far nnd
near assemble horu to the number of
many thousands to decorate the graves.
Do you wonder when 1 tell you that on
thcso occasions the little hero's grave is
fairly smothered in llovrorsl A little
further on nro two iron slabs , ouo of
which contains thcso lines :
"Thonuilllail drnm'n mil mil has boat
The Holdler'rt last tnttoo :
No innio on Hfo'iMianulo shrill meet
Tlio brn\o and fallen few. "
The other slab contains this legend :
"Established 1800. Interments 35)0. ! )
Known 11120. Unknown SKJ01. " All
were union soldiers , except four women
who lie under some beautiful evergreens
on the outside line of graves. Thcso heroes -
roes lost their lives by disease while nt-
tending the wounded nftor the battle ,
but for sonic reason the war department
has refused to put headstones over tlioir
graves.
Beautiful ns this cemetery is by day
light it has a solemnly weird look by
night. The dnrk green gr.m and ovei
greens contrasted with tlio innumerable
little white headstones , nro calculated to
make the visitor , if ho is superstitious ,
think of spectres nnd ghosts.
Ono of the boats on this river has n
mate , n large , powerful man , whom
neither throats nor entreaties can induce
to go ashore hero nt night. Ho trem
blingly relntcs hovr ono dark night ho
saw several soldiers in full uniform como
aboard the boat nnd disappear over the
bow. Ho nlso strongly claims to hr.vo
snon whole regiments of spirit soldiers
drill on the brink of the blun" , nnd to
have heard the hollow , solemn voices of
the officers giving commands.
The confederate dead remain where
they were buried.
Naturally enough , the first I wished
to sco wns my own old camping ground
( that of the Fourteenth Illinois intunlry ]
and I found it without muh trouble , for
all the campa nro very easily found.
There , in front of our old quarters , ii
the old cotton liald where wo drilled ant
mot on dress parade. Still plainly to bo
soon wns our company well , now still two
feet doop. Plainly visible are tlio circles
of our Sibloy touts , with Hero and there
n tent pin remaining. The most ro
mnrkablo relic of the poit is * tin cup . '
picked up in our compauy quarters. Al
though badly rusted it is still plainly at
army tin cup , and bears on the
bottom the initials "J. L. A. " rudely
scratched on with a pointed instrument
It no doubt belonged to Comrade Join
L. Alvps of my company , who can hav
the rolio if ho is still alive. I very rend
ily found the camps of Lognn'a , Prentiss
and Sherman's divisions , nnd where the
ground had not boon plowed up the field
is still littered with the slowly decaying
debris of the army. The old tiold where
General Ilurlburt's headquarters were
located wns especially familiar to mo.
On account of n defective title it has no
owner , nnd has not boon plowed
up since the battle , nnd the
tent squares nnd circles , cess
pools , wells and bake ovens nro plainly
visible , while innumerable tent pjns ,
camp kettles , leather straps , cartridge
boxes , canteens , shoos , beef bones , har
ness , camp stoves and bayonets cover the
ground. I found aovoral well preserved
fragments of army clothing , n cavalry
sword , nnd 'several good cattridgo box
llnbs. The field where Grant reviewed
the troops some vrookn before the battle
is now in cultivation , and owned by Mr.
Thomas Walker , who has lived there ,
grown well off , and raised a largo family
of bright children since the battle.
Not far from Mr. Walker's plantation
stands the stump of the tree under which
General Albert Sidney Johnson died.
Some ono has planted nn evergreen there
to mark the spot.
Near the site of the old Shiloh church
T was ahown ono of the most remarkable
landmarks of this historic field. Itis the
, grave of a confederate major whom his
comrades buried under n beautiful oak
tree , then but eighteen inches in diame
ter. A round place was cut smooth on
the face of the tree , and engraved wat
the inscription , "T. B. Monroe , 0. S , A ,
, killed April 0 , 1802. " The tree hai
since then grown in thickness fully six
inches , and the bark has swelled out aueJ
healed up so as to leave only an aperture
of about seven incites in diamotoi
through which the inscription is plainly
visible.
Immense amounts of lead and iron an
being gathered on the field , Ono nior
chant last year shipped over 3,000 pound
of old bullets , and the farmers put in i
great deal of time gathering load , Oni
,
day , before my arrival , some childrei !
found an unexplpdod shell which the 10Ly ;
throw into a pile of burning brush
While iiway nt dinner the shell exploded
after being buried twenty-ono years. Ii
my search for relics I avoided unoxploduc
e- shells ns I would the peat.
t 'Tho largo trods that were badly ecarret
/shot and shell still bear the mar ) .
if < vuVy plainly , but the small saplings vrer
note all Killed and a now growth has appoaroi
instead , I brought back some fine piece
of oak wood , each containing a mini '
to ball , but they are so deeply imbedded ii
the trees tlmt they are hard to got out.
Tlio road cut into the bluff by Buell' '
farces on Sunday night is still in goo
tthapo , although never used , Even th
indentations mode by the atoamur * i
landing are plainly visible in the toug
Iso claybank. Near the top of the hill , o
il- the Buoll road , stand n numbt >
. of splendid beach trees , cut all ovt
m- with the names of soldiora , I plain !
read the following : " 0. F. Smith , con
D Missouri infant
paiiy , Twenty-fourth
ry. 18C > 2 ; A. J. Plummcr , D. Donnhoc ,
W. P. Dcnn , Sixth Louisiana , 1801 , "
The old Shiloh church was torn down
two yoais ago and a neat frame church
built in UB placo. Itis needless to say
that relic hunters have carried off every
voltage of the old ono. The novr church
is owned by the Southern Methodist
Episcopal church , but to keep mattorx
oven , tlio oldNorthorn ( ) Motliodiatsluuo
erected n church wilhin half n mile of
the former.
1 quaffed a long , strong draught from
the old Shiloh spring , and sitting _ on n
stump near its brink I tried to discern
in the ground the various beatou paths
that once led off to the numerous camps ,
and to hear the footfalls of the soldiers
coming for water , but the paths nro "b <
litorntod , and tlio only sound which
grouted my car was the creaking of an
approaching cotton wagon on its way to
the landing.
