Springs sDeerinsly remarks
" Profound peace and tranquility
feigns throughout, the length aud
breadth cs Texas. according TO 'tcn-
sentative Union papers, but We
eau Z exactly sec a.
The Conservative press contend
tia, The grl..3 rass Of the people OF
Texas are as loyal 7ad rs devoted ~
law and order. a. those Of any State
IN the Union, and that for ihe eiime
anl ouira-ss tina, have occurred, and
the decentralization tia. has prevailed
IN localities, the radicals arc justlyrc-
sponsihle There was no complaint
until the radical party removed all
the officers elected by the people, aud
placed in their stead men without,
character, principle, influence, or
ability. The excuse that Gen. Rey-
nolds and bis military sub-sairaps
urge as an excuse for military des-
potism recognized in the State, is,
that the civil officers, all military ap-
pointees, are incompetent and unre-
liable. This none can deny but
IL is an excuse thas he has no right
to make, as he has the power Of re-
moyal at pleasure. Good officers can
be obtained if desired, by abolishing
test oaths, and selecting respectable
citizens
The Houston y cdeitc complains of
our associate Of the Jefferson Times
for giving currency to the rumor that
Judge Peter W. Gray bad sold
himself to radicalism" The editor
Of tho Veiette overlooked the prompt
correction Of the Times, in the sue
ceeding issue Of that paper. The
Yedette says Judge Gray has
ever been a consistent States Rights
Democrat And be might have
added a very clever, talented gentle
man Tho judges orly faels, in
our opinion aud for that be Is not
re 2onsiblo, mag be embodied in one
word---dispepsia.
