TAINTED IN TEXAS,

We want more Reagans in Texas, and everywhere
else throughout the late Slave States. Reagan was
Rebel, and Mr. Davs's Postmaster General; but
notwithstanding the diabolical influences and powers
and the extreme dangers by which he girt in Texas
there is nobody who is speaking and writing more
courageously than be in support OF Impartial Suffrage
and Equality before the Law without regard to CON-
plexion. IL there were five hundred bold aud honest
men like Mr.. Reagan in his State there would soon
be an end of the Internal legislation by which that
State is cursed and kept out Of the Union 1t Is be-
cause such men are painfully rare that Reeonstruc
ton goes on so lamey. Few as they are, ana fewer
as they have become under the demoralizing tempa-
tions of the Presidential policy they are entitied
to the warmest encouragement, such as trn, united
and LOYAL North cannot fail to afford them In con-
slant peril of o as the Southern Loyallsts are, and
must be- il they are to depend upon Andrew Johnsons
mere mockery of protection, they have nothing to
rely upon save an honest, patriotic and intelligent
Congress; for Congress has now become their sole,
efficient safeguard The North owes these prosecuted
men great debt and way of paying 1t is to elect
trustworthy candidates to Office.
1t is plain question of demand and supply Moro
Reagans arc wanted. How are they to DO secured
Certainly not by showing tho white feather at the
North We have had fine physical victory over
Treason and now it is to be decided whether treason
shall have fine moral victory over us. Can we pro-
tect honestly repcntsnt Rebels against tho unbrided
malice of their unrcgeneratc ncighborS' Hnot, then
we have conquered in vain-the real victory is with
Rebellion. But more than this. AS people, we
should be NOBLE not mean chiyarous not basei true
and faithful not false and treacherous. Every vote
for Fenton is a vote TO mako more Reagans in the
South and TO protect them subsequently, while every
vote for Hoffman is vote to shoot, hang, tar and
feather them to destroy their property, aud to drive
them from their homes. If We do not stand by the
cause here, while men at the peril Of their lives are
standing by it in Texas the cloud which there is now
no bigger than mans hand. will shortly darkon our
whole sky, aud real pacifcaton will only come after
another campaign, and possibly only after another
series of campaigns anything but short and every
thing that is saBguinary.

The Mexican Minister in Washington has received
a letter from Vera Cruz which announces the formal
resignation of the Emperor Macmillan. This event
has for a long time been hourly expected but as
nothing is stated yet about the character OF the source
from which the news Of the formal resignation is
derived, we think it lacks confirmation. The En-

When The London Times quotes the existence OF
corruption in the Government of the City and State
of New-York as q reason why political power should
not be given to the masses in England, it makes a
sorry display of logc but the fact that it employs
such ON argument to inspire horror of free govern.
ment has moral for our citizens which they would do
well to ponder aud profit from. They who vote in
such way as to uphold corruption, either in our
municipal or State Government are not only dis
grazing the Republic before the world, but are helping
to obstruct freedom in other lands.

A vote for Hoffman will be cast in favor Of the IN
repentant Rebellion which now unblushngly de-
mands certain miscaed rights at the expense Of long
suffering and meritorous loyalty; for Rebels in the

and Memphis; for a President who won his Office by

AN AUGEAN STdBLE-THE REGISTERS

OFFICE.
One good reason for changing the administration OF The
Office of Register is well known to ali lawyers namely,
the notorious double charging Of fees and other official
wrongs as now practced under Register McCool, the
Democratic candidate for reelection. This gentleman has
for his own purposes political otherwise demanded oil

At least one of the assistants Of MeCool, on whom Dc
