Things I'm Texas.

General Gregory sends a report from
Galveston, Texas, dated June 18th, 1866,
in which he gives a discouraging account
of the state of feeling in that State. He
says that the leaders of the rebellion in
Texas, who, at the surrender, expected
nothing but eoniscation and exile, but
were suffered to retain their wealth, social
position and political influence reward
the clemency of the government by the
thinnest varnish of decorum. The only
svailable candidates for office make stump
speeches, disloysl sermons and editorials,
and furnish the disaffeetion in the
STATE with the head and front that it
needs. Texas to-day is as full of disloy-
atty and treason SIS in the Spring of 1861.
The Union men are preparing to leave
the State, expecting the recurrence of the
scenes of the late civil war. Since last
March, the instances of maltreatment and
outrage offered negro soldiers are on the
increase, and many murders are reported;
but no murderer has been either hung or
tried. The freedmen's schools Rre pros
perous. %

The Fourth has passed away in this
corner of the Union with no very impos-
ing display. In town very little out of
the ordinary line occurred, except that
business was mostly suspended, and the
streets given over to loafers and small
boys. An occasional f-e-cracker broke
the quiet, and altar dark two or three ex-
ceedingly modest and u~nostentatious rock
cts were seen to ascend. The chief at
traction of the day was out two miles on
the Kentucky Railroad, where a rural
symposium, started by a Teutonic musical
organization, and joined by q variety of
citizens, was in full blast. A scene char
acteristic of Tennessee civilization occurs
here. A lean, inoffensive specimen of the
African race approaches a beer-stand,
where a crowd of booty blunderheads are
tippling, and calls for q drink. Southern
aristocracy takes offence at once, and the
Southern heart is straightway fired. A
big burly rufian hits the negro, who, hav-
ing mbibed some preposterous notions of
hS Ai5AS a. q Hlulhu DtluB, ulLs Ddck
again. The crowd yells "Down with the
niggerl On the niggerp One stout
fellow catches the African by the throat
and holds him, while the rest beat and
kick him till he falls. These chivalrous
scions of Southern nobility then stamp on
this poor d~efenceless boy till life and breath
are nearly gone. An eminent and infu-
entail citizen, an ex Judge from New
York, interferes at the risk of his life;
pistols are drawn, and for a moment it
seems as if he too would pay the extreme
penalty of his Northern extraction. By
the efforts Of a few friends he was saved,
and the negro, so as by fire, escaped. This
shows that intolerance for the negro is not
confined 70 the west end of Tennessee.
This is the second negro mob this year,
and no thanks are due the rioters that il
did not terminate as fatally as the first.

In March, 1865, the New York World
commenced an attack upon Andrew
johnson, then Vice-President, by allud-
ing to the bestowal of the consulate upon
his horse, by " the drunken and beastly
Caligula, the most proaigate of the Ro-
man Emperors," and then alluded to Mr.
johnson as this insolent drunken brute,
in comparison with whom even Caligula's
horse was respectable-for thepoor animal
did not abuse his own nature" In q re-
cen article the World ~delicstely refutes
this calumny by raking down one ]. W.
Forney for "raking up the details of an
isolated occurrence of that kind, which
nobody recollected to the disadvantage of
the President because Everyone kneW it to
be the only spot on the life of a strict and
uniform so6riety." And the World pro-
ceeds in the same sentence to castigate
the editor of the World over Forney's
shoulders, in the following ruthless style
"a man, we say, who is capable of such
warfare against the Chief Magistrate of
his own country, forfeits all title to the re
cognition and association of gentlemen"

day night, the LIST inst. Two suspicious
looking characters have been providing
around Woodville for some time. On
Sunday evening they started afoot for
Genoa, and when within about two miles
of that place stole a horse of q farmer
named Wood. They then proceeded to
Charles Coles, about a mile and a hall
from Genoa, and stole brides and a hsr-
ness From there they weut to Il. /. War

They then followed the road leading to
Elmore, stopping at one of the Truman

place they were pursued; but SO far they
have managed to elude all attempts al

Mayor Monroe, of New Orleans, the
rebsl whom President johnson pardoned
in order to allow him to fiji his Office, in
a speech al a Fourth of July celebration
in his city, took occasion to give the Lou
isiana view Of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Referring to it he said that "he
differed from one expression of opinion in
that document to the effect that all men
were created equal The niger could not
be considered the equal of the white man;
and as the writer of the declaration, Mr..
Jefferson, was q STAKEHOLDER, it stood to
reason that henever could have meant 30

hardly necessary to add that Mr.. Monroe,
and the men whom he represents, are not
enthusiastic supporters of the Civil Rights

The taste of a Johnson organ

- nv VI SOAAAoOAA ON69H
The Washington Republican, the pecu-
Iiarorgan of President johnson, published,
on Friday last, the following exquisite
witticism
"Philpot, who is a funny fellow, said TO-
day, when he saw Thad. for the first time,
he could see why he was so good a stump
speaker, and then remarked he looked like
a good leader for a Republican club"
When we explain that Mr.. Stevens is
so unfortunate as to have a club foot, the
keen wit and refined delioacy of the allu-
sion may be appreciated. Such sneers at
personal deformities are worthy of and
are doubtless inspired by the man whose
disgusting drunkenness on the 4th of March
1865, disgraced himself and the nation,
whose egotistical and passionate har-
argues during the winter and spring
brought down on himself still deeper
condemnation, and who, by the publica-
ton of private letters in his possession,
has recently shown himself as destitute of
personal honor as he is of political consis-
teney.

The bill to regulate the time and man.
ner of holding elections for Senators il
Congress has been passed by the Senate BY
a large majority. This bill requires thai
the manner of e~lecting Senators to tn,
State Legislatures shall be openly by
viua Uoce vote, not by ballot. The power
to make this regulation is given to Con.
gress by the fourth section of the first ar.
.icle of the constitution, which is as fol.

Congress may at any time make or alter
such regulations, except as to the place Of
choosing Senators.
The power of regulating the elections
of Representatives and Senators thus
granted to Congress has seldom been ex-
ercised, but that fact does not diminish the
sOlemnity of this guaranty. That a uni
form rule should be followed in the choice
of members of our national legislature, is
manifest and we are pleased that the SEN
ate has taken the first step towards exer-
cising its constitutional powers in this d.
