TEXAS NEWS.

The Houston Telegraph says the military
authorities in that city are searching Out
and abating every nuisance they can find;
also that the Sabbath schools in Houston are
numerously attended.
The Telegraph learns that the Government
officials are after the cotton thieves, who
have been swindlir~ the country people since
the Surrender of that department.
Flakes Bulletin says there is a great scare
ity of laborers in Galveston, and that it is
next to an imposibility to obtain them at
any price.
The Galveston Cintidn Of the 18th says:
We do not believe that there is a particle
of opposition, either expressed or felt, to the
complete restoration OF all the authority ever
exercised by the General Government in
Texas.
The worm is doing much damage to cotton
on and west Of the Brazos. If we are to
trust the partial accounts we receive, three
fourths Of the crop has already been de-
stroyed.

ARMED NEeRoEs.-we have been inform
ed by q en- tlemen N of integritytand character,
that a number of negroes in bis neighbour
hood (near Livingston are armed with rifles,
and are constantly practising withthese rms.
Col. Gilchrist, commandant of this sub dis
trict was informed Of the whole affair, aad he
said be would attend to it. Three or four
weeks have past and nothing yet has been
done. We do not wonder at the delay, when
we consider the declaration of Gilchrist, that
he would prefer to trust the honor and integ
rity of a negro rather than that Of any wEite
man in this city-Jackson Nrws.
1t will be remembered by our old citizens
that about twenty-fv or thirty years ago,
there was a plot for a grand instruction of
the negroes in this county, the principal
scenes of which were to be enacted at Living
ston and Vernon. It was headed by "Mur-
relis men," Through the fidelity of some me-
groes, the whole plot exploded-the ringlead-
es among the negroes were hung, and one
or two white men also pulled hemp. II
would be q coincidence, and a little singular,
if, after the lapse Of so many years, a scheme
of this kind should again acrop OUT about
Livingston. "History repeats itself.p Let
the citizens of that neighburhood be special
ly on their guard, while the people general
ly should be viglant also. We have no fears
that anything of the kind can succeed, and if
ever it is attempted, we should visit upon the
guilty such terrible retribution as will forev-
err deter the race from a like "enterprise.''

Gen. A. M. West.

From the Daily News.l
1t is known to the people of this district
that Gen A. NJ. West was absent in the North
on business connected with the Central rail-
road, at the time delegates from the 4th
Congressional District chose to recommend
given him through motives. of the most uu-
selfish patriotism on the part of delegates.
They thought, and not without reason, that
Gen. West, on account of his well known
conservatism and genuine sympathy with
Southern people ard Southern interests,
would make a Congressman acceptable alike
to the Government and our people. They
felt that in him they would have an honest,
faithful, able and Jealous representative.
They were right. Gen. West is the man for
Congress. Unlike most of our distinguished
men he stops not to consider his W pri-
vate interest when the public veal is con
cerned. He accepted the nomination from
the same p%romptings of lofty patriotism
which induced the delegates to give TO him
from an honest, earnest desire to serve the
State in her present need. 1t WAS enough
for him that delegates, whose course has met
with so much commentator FROM the Adj
ministration aud the people of the whole
country, North and South, had unanimously
endorsed him. As a true patriot he could
not feel at liberty to decline The high trust.
AT great sacrifice, perhaps, to his private in
%terests, he concluded to accept TIE nomina-
tion and accordingly announced bis name,
Thus he stands. There are some iusidious
efforts made to detract and misrepresent him
and his antecedenis. They cannot weigh with
a sensible people who desire nothing so much
as relief from military rule and the speedy
restoration Of ciTil government. Gen. West
deserves the support of all true men, and
we doubt not he will be elected by an over
whelming majority. YoX.

, STANToN-There is no man in tho country
who is SO generally disliked and loathed as
Stanton. lie gets more kicks than kindness
even in his own party. The Tribune, for ex.
ample, in the course of an article, yesterday,
on the return of the Fifty-fourth (colored)
regiment of Mass. Volunteers, charges him, in
plain terms, with cheating and dishonesty.
Speaking of the perils of the negro soldier
10 the early part of the war, the Tribune
says
"If he escaped the bullet and the knife, he
came back to camp to learn that the coun-
try for which he had hraved that double per-
il intended to cheat him out of the pay on
which his wife and children depended for
support. We trust Mr.. Secretary Stanton is
by this time heartily ashamed of the dishon-
esty which marked his dealings with the
black troops-but we are not going into that
question. We saiA-,h-.; and we r~eiterate
tnat the refusal of pay to the color.
ed soldiers was a swindle and a scandal, so
utterly without excuse that it might well
have seemed to them as if it were intended
to provoke a mutiny."
The only complimentary ~allusion we have
lately seen made to Secretary Stanton, was
the resolution indorsing and p~raising him by
the Pennsylvania Republican Convention,
probably adopted not out Of any respect for
Stanton but as a covert means disparaging
President Johnson. A convention which
damned the President with faint praise, in
one resolution, and rebuked his reconstruc-
ton policy in'another, tried to belittle and
eclipse him in a third, by extolling to the
skies this man Stanton, whose name is a
stencil in the ~nostriis of multitudes in his
own party.-New York World.
