Governor Edward Clark, who became the ex-
ecutive Of Texas through the aid of few of the
politicians of that State, has put the finishing
touch to legalizng roguery. In his last procla.
nation he declared in effect that it is treason to be
honest, and that any person who is found guilty
ofpaying his just debts shall suffer the penalty of
death. Lest this may appear an exaggeration,
we quote his language. He says:-"It will also
be reasonable for any citizen of Texas to pay any
debts now owing by him to citizen of either of
the States Territories now at war with the Con.
federate States of America" If the portrait of
Edward Clark, Governor Of the State of Texas"
does not grace the "Rogue's Gallery" in every
city in Christendom, we do not see what further
use there is for such an institution.
