This actiou on the nart of the oommander-ln-ohlef of the United Statss forces would uot only be hailed by our people as an eviueuce mat tne civu authority Is no longer to be sub ordinate to the military power In our country, but it woule establish law, insure unmestio tranquility, re Vive our wasted Industries, and give au assurance that this State Is to be restored to her just rightB under tbe constitution. Whatever grievances exist, whatever wrong we sutler, we propose to redress them not by resort to lorce, out oy legui, eouBiiiuuuimi airenclea. In seeking such redress I feel sure that I represeut fully the de termination of the thoughtful portion of our whole neonle, when I give the assurance that no persecution Bhall be exercised here on account of political opinion; that oodiscrlmlnatlon shall be made lu tne administration or justice, and citizens of both parties and both races shall be regarded as fully pro tected by and amenable to the laws. Joining most heartily with you In the earncttt riewe you express, inat you may be able to put an and as speedily as Doaslble to all appearance of Inter veotlon of the military authority ot the United States in the political de rangement which auiots tut govern' nientind affects the people of 8 null) Carolina, and fervently trusting that this auspicious result may be loon reunited, I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, WADR lUMFVON, Governor of Mouth Carollua.

A dispatch from Rome to the Daily News, says the condition of the pope's health is se rious, despite Aptlmlst's bulletins. Cardinals Slmooul and Valletta are already preparing for tbe couclave. Tho Roman correspondent of the Dally News writes: "The pope, amid feverish excltemeut uud unremitting labor iu tho Vatican, relative to the consistory, bus falleu ill again. It Is certain, that after the secret oousisto- ry, ou tbe 12th iustaut, he fainted and had to ipilt reading an allocution. The fainting fits have repeatedly occurred, aud the pope rema'ued unconscious longer each time. He does not like his Illness to be perceived, and makes efforts to 111 do tt. The moment he gets, to his apart ments he slukst) a chair, aud remaiua with his eyes closed, looking like a corpse. The recent excitement has told on lilm, and, indeed, on several occasions his life has beeu almost lop'dred of. Ills physicians regard the fatiguing receptlous of the pil grims with grave appreheusious Foreigners, who seek the pope at In tervals, notice a great change iu him. One of tlii'sn visitors recently said the allocution of March 1-th wouM proba bly be his 1 iHt formal utterances. A disputch stutes the archbishop of Peruvia and the vicar of Rome are confidently mmitloued as candidates for the papacy. Cold Iron va. Lead, An untorluuate atl'uir occurred on yesterday lu W. A. Rogers' hard waro store ou Elm ' street. Mr. James, the contractor, and Mr. Rogers, the proprletoi, were talking of a plan for a building, which had been sub mitted by Mr. James. During thedls cuHsion Mr. James made the remark! "Home people don't know the differ ence between a keg of nails," To this Mr, Rogers took exception, and asked him if everybody hud to go to him (James) to know about building, and if he made thut stutemeut he was a liar. Further words were passed, when Mr. Rogers picked up a weight and threw it at Mr. Janus, striking hliu on the head above and' behind the left temple, Somewhat dazed, Mr. James drew a revolver, aud at the same ;ine backed up toward the di or. When opposite Ihe show case, which stood on the front end of the counter, he fired, Mr. Rogers had stooped down behind the show case. The bull slruok the metal rim of the case, shattering the top glass, cutting the end of a pass book that lay on the case, gluuocd upwards, and lilt a b;x coutaiulug door locks. Mr. Jainoa" wunt outside and fired again; his plsol was a self-cocker, and he claims that It went off before he knew it the second time. The bullet struck a wooden bench screw which was leauiug against the front of the building. Colonel Bower then took bold of James, aud he was led to Con nor & Walker's drug store, where Dr. Vhrustou washed and dressed his wound, which had bled profusely; it was about au inch and a half in length, and cut to tbe skull; It hud also cut his hut and the two wash leathers In side. It is not dangerous and Mr. James was about again durlug tbe day. Our reporter visited the store and learned the cause of tbe affair. Strange as it may seem, both partici pants give tbe Bame account of the occurrence. Both men are well known and respected citizens, aud have been on the very best of terms, and from what we can lenru, they both rejoice thut the affair did not turn out more seriously, iu which we heartily concur. A New Enterprise. Yesterday, by Invitation, our re porter visited tbe artificial stone and cement works at the foot of Market street. There he found a number of our leading citizens assembled, who bad come to Inspect tbe new process cf making stone, and the cement which is obtained from stone found lo large quantities lu this vicinity. Mr. C. M. Wheat is the sole owner of the right for Dal ins county to manufac ture these two articles under this p tteut, and there Is every prospect of the enterprise provlug a great benefit to Dallas, as they can be procured from him at a trifjlug cost compared to what must be paid when shipped here The process is as follows: The rook Is a substratum of the lime roc a so abundant here, and is obtained gen erally at a depth of ten or twelve feet. The supply is inexhaustible. The stone contains about forty-three per cent, of carbonic acid.' This is set free by burning the stone in kilns, which makes It possible to grind It. Sand Is then mixed with it, und It Is molded Into any shape required and planed in hot chamber, where carbonlo acid gas aud vapor are introduced, The stone absorbs this in large quantities, which renders It vety hard. The crushing force it Is capable of resist ing la very great, and by adding pig ments any color can be produced This enables the maker to manufac ture all desctlptlonsof variegated tiles. etc. When flulshed it 1s known as carbonated stoue. The most Impor tant thing, however, Is tbs cement. Dallas has within her borders m sup p'yuf stoue which will forever fur ulsh all she oau use, and ship. It eai be manufactured here for leu than the oost ol freight from St. Louis, thus placing it lu the consumer's bauds at a low prioe. Go aud visit the works aud see how It la done. We are glad to record this new aud Important enterprise among the mauy iu our midst. Teaaa "t'olouela," '' To the Editor of The Herald i . In behalf of our much abused lan guage, and a an advocate of just ice and fair dealing toward the civilians as well as tho, titled soldiery of our country, aud as an opponent of tham in all Its forms, I beg tho privilege to protest tnrougn your columns against l he cus tom so prevalent iu Texas, especially ' with our newspapers, of depieoiuting honorable military titles Disappropria ting them to civilians, who never at tained them iu military service, ami ' ninny of whom have never smelt (tun powder. So general has become, this' custom in Texas that it is considered thnost disrespectful to mention tho name of a lawyer, or a prominent busi ness man, or a man in public life with out prefixing some military title, from captain to general, according to the degree of consideration iu which he is hold. The plain, old fashionod, and eminently respectable titlo of "Mr." is considered derogatory when applied to a man of consideration in tho community, and is gonurnlly ' used as the designation of only ' men of low estate. This is perhaps hut one of the forms in which the pro-, vial Western I'o.iulness for hyperbole : finds Axnt'essinn: AnntliAr nf wtilih U the custom of calling our obscure little grammar schools by the lofty names of "wtlleupu" and "iimxmt-rtltma hut. tn m it seems sheer Jlmktyim and tnMtr;, , though many persons unwittingly ill into tho custom simply because it has become so general.
