The State of Texas has about twice as many
whites as negroes Since the close of the Re-
bellon, according to the report of the Special
Committee on Murders and Violence, appointed
by the Constitutional Convention, there have
been 939 murders committed in that favored
State, to say nothing of assaults with intent
to kill, rapes, robberies, whippings of freed
men, &c. OF these hOmicides, 1913 were COM
mitted by whites, So by freedmen, and AZ by
persons whose race is unknown. The whites,
though only twice as numerous, have COM
mitted fourteen times as many murders as the
blacks, thus showing that the instinct of muir
der is seven times as strong in the Caucasian
breast rs in that of the sons of Ham, OF the
number killed 10y whites, 44 were whites and
373 were freedmen. AS the proportion of
freedmen killed is fifty per cent larger than
the proportion of freedmen TO the total pOpu-
lation, it follows that the whites are fifty per
cent more muTderous toward blacks than to-
ward whites. OF the number killed by freed
men, only 10 were whites and AZ were freed
men, In view of the fact that there are twice
as many whites as freedmen, these figures
show that the freedman is nearly ten times as
prone to kill one of his own race as he is to
kill a white man. On the whole, the white
man is far superior to the negro rs n muir
daror

officers should be clothed with powers ade-
quate to protect the health of the city is SELF
evident. In all European cities, slaughter
houses and the arrangements for introducing
cattle and meat have been carefully guarded,
and the result is seen in the facts that not
only is the calling of butchers and slaugh-
terers made more ceanly, orderly, agreeable,
and respectable, but their places OF business
are models of neatness, purity and beauty
Who that has seen or read of the famous
AbattOirS in the suburbs of Paris, and con-
trasted them with the filthy and unwhOlesome
character of many of our bins and stalls for
keeping and slaughtering cattle, has not felt
ashamed that a people so much more progress
sive than Europeans in all that pertains to
the freedom of their Government, should be
so far behind them in the most important
elements of good government We hope the
butchers of New-York will take such meas
ures now that the slaughter-hOuses of New
York, wherever they may be located, shall be-
like the abattoirs of Paris and like our
Central Park, a public feature which the
great city whose people they serve shall
regard with pride, instead of with apprehen-
sion or repugnance.

The reception of Mr.. LOngfellow in England
has been quite as enthusiastic as the first press
accounts represented it, and his visit will prove
as gratifying to his countrymen here at home
as it must be to himself 1t is not only that
the honors bestowed upon our poet are a COM
pliment 10 American literature but they are
attended by so many marks of national good
will that we think they must contribute to a
cementing of the friendly dispositions which
now prevail between the two countries. In the
poetical welcome with which The Times greets
Mr.. LOngfellow-
Welcome to England thouwhOse strains prolong
The glorious bede-rOll OF our Saxon song;
EmbassadOr and Pigrm-bard in one,
Fresh from thy hOme-the home OF washington,
on hearths as sacred as thine own, here stands
The loving welcome that thy name commands;
Hcarths swept for thee and garnished as a shrine
BY trailing garments OF thy muse divine.

Thy fair fame spans the ocean like a bow.
Born from the rain that falls into each HE,
Kndled by dreams with loveliest fancies rife

there is evidence of friendship for the poets

The card of District-Attorney Courtney,
which we publish in another column, affords,
we think, strong confirmation of the charge
made by Senator Morgan in the debate on the
tax-bill, that the true reason why the revenue
is not collected is that judges and attorneys are
either negligent or corrupt. Mr.. Courtney de-
clares that he is ready to proceed with the trials
for Offenses against the revenue laws, but the
judges cannot or will not hear them. Very
well: let them divide the responsibility as they
please. Mr.. Courtney's card only supports our
previous opinion that the courts are to blame
The gist of our questions to the District-At-
torney is not answered. We desired to know
how many men are under indictment for viola
ton of the revenue lawR and Mr.. Courtney
replies that since June, 1867, "a persons have
been indicted for such offenses, and 26 have
been tried. What has become of the other 4SR
Are their cases still pendingf How many of
them have been compromised?

We shall be victorious if we work with zeal
and singleness of heart and sink all our petty
quarrels and personal differences and ambi-
tiOns for the sake of the common cause First
of all, let us concentrate our forces All the
little Republican clubs in this and other cities
ought to coalesce for one organized intelligent
effort during the campaign. They will do ten
times more good in combination than they can
do singly. Concentration was the great princi-
pie of Grants campaigns, and what he called
the "pepper-box strategy" of operating with
dozen weak and scattered armies at once was
one of the principal causes Of our early dis
asters.
