The radical resolution introduced into
the Senate to set apart the territory Of
Texas for the purpose Of colonizing the ne
groes, on the whole, rather pleases u.s.
Tni!nnthropic party have for some years
done all in their power to destroy the negro,
to reduce him TO barharism, to make him
useless, though with the hon, st intention,
we believe, Of beneftiug him. This would
cop the climax of their folly. The terrific
ry spoken Of is now overrun by wild Indi-
ans, Conan and Apaches, the most saw
age Of all the savages Of America, and ne
groes have but to be colonized on what they
claim rs their own country, to excite among
them the most relentless fury. Such colo
nization would, moreover, be of the great-
est advantage to the white settlements Of
this State in protecting them from the for
avs of the wild Indians. Again the remov-
al Of these negroes to the territory and es.
tablishing them there, will cost not less
than hundred millions Of dollars, all Of
which would be disbursed in Texas. This
little sum would help us out greatly in
paying our taxes. By all means Messrs.
Sumner, Stevens & Co. put this last scheme
through. 1t pleases us amazingly. Dont
ask our permission either, as this territory
cannot belong to us, having been forfeited
by the rebellion. In fact we have no right,
no privilege, nothing il it conflicts with
what your fanatical crew deem for the good
of the Saints Of Dahomey. We give you
the rope. Hang yourselves as soon as you

The English OF the whole matter il, that
these patriotic ladies do not wish 10 see
Cox pardoned because in that case he woull
get possession Of his lands which they now
hold. lie Is too bad n rebel TO be pardoned
because they want his property. They iu-
innate, however, that he might purchase
his pardon by giving them ten ncrrs of
land and the improvements thereon We
must admit that they are repi csentative
radical women, aud Mrs. Senator Trumbull
appropriately heads them! But seriously
the whole affair Is one Of the most shabby
and unwomanly in which ladies' have ever
placed themselves in this country. Houston

Last Saturday night, about " or o'clock,
q man named Robert HOWE, was shot by
Mrs. Caroline Wahrenberger, OF her dwell
ing, on Congress Avenue, near the river,
from the effect Of which he died In few
hours. From the statement Of Mrs. W. IL
appears that the deceased came TO her res
iiencc, and attempted to enter through q
window into her sleeping apartment, by
raising q Ssh. As 10 his object In thus in
yading the domicil of an unprotected fe-
male, nothing has transpired. The conelu.
sion in the public mind is that IL was plum
der, and, probably, in case Of resistance,
murder. Those who knew him, however,
state that lie was subject, when under tho
influence Of liquor, to n species OF insani-
ty, and that, by bare possibility, lie might
have been mistaken in his whereabouts.
But this last supposilion Is not probable.
llowie came here with the Federal troops,
some time since, rs we hear in the capacity
OF teamster, and has been connected with
the army, in one way or another, all the
while. Very recently bo was arrested by
the military, ona charge OF stealing \
horse from an officer, and, We are told. was
soon released from confinement under this
charge, only q few days before his death.
Under the circumstances, Mrs. W. did pre-
ciscly what any other person would have
done, and no blame, whatever can attach
to her. The remarkable presence Of mind
and bravery exhibited on the occasion speak
well for her. Alone and unprotected, she
is threatened with violence, at the hour Of
midnight, by powerful man, for such he
was. She quietly walked to n bureau
drawer, took out six shooter, walked up
TO within three feet Of him, and fred. lie
Immediately fell back, morally wounded.
We can but commend tho course pursued
by Mrs. W. There have been so many as
snults, and robberies, and burglaries, in
the city during the past few months, that
it is natural people should be suspicious OF
night providers. We advise every one 10 be
prepared as was Mrs. W., for similar visi-
ta,ions, and, lik her, make short work
with all such visitors. Mrs. W. is a re-
spectacle lady, in independent circums.an.
ces, and, as administrators Of her deceased
husband, it is more than probable that
HOWE and his accomplces, if ho had any,
supposed she had large amount Of money
about the premises.-Austin Intelhgencr.

aud by order of this department has been
and now il confined In Fortress Monroe, TO
abide such action as may be taken by the
proper authorities VI tho United States
Government.
2. That he has not been arraigncd upon
sny inii,tment or formal charge OF crime,
but has been indicted for the crime of high
treason by the Grand Jury of the Distrc,
pending in the Supreme Court Of said dis.
trc,. lie il also charg with the crime of
melting the assassination Of Abraham
prisoners Of war by starvation, and other
barbarous and cruel treatment towards
them.
8. Tho Presidcn, dceming it cxpedient
that Jeff Davis should first he put upon his
trial before competent cour. and jury FOL
the crime Of treason, he was advised by the
law officers Of the Government that the
most proper place for such things was in
..., hnt fnta 10 M, h
in the judicial circuit assigned TO the Chief
Justice of tho Supreme Court, who has
held no courts there since the apprehension
of Davis, and who declines for an indefi-
mite period, to hold any court there. The
matters above stated are, so far as am in
formed the reasons for holding Davis In
confinement. why lie has not been brought
70 trial etc.
4. Besides jeff Davis, the following per-
sons, who acted as officers Of the rebel
Government, are imprisoned, to-wit: Gle
ment G. Clay, at Fort Monroe, charged,
