From the y. q Picsyune.
Ths Cow Beys" Of Texas.
The COW boys of the Rcvolu
ton, a set OF low tories, who pcrse
cuted tho families Of the soldiers d
Independence, have their COUNTIES
part in Texas. There is set q
tories out there Of whom 4. j. Davis
nov President Of the Conventio
misuamcd constitutional aud Simon
Suggs alias Joass, are examples
Both ~sro furiously for secession .,
tie outset, but being disappointed in
becoming leaders, both became FRA.
iuformsrs, and then Colonies Of band
Of nafauders whom they called U. s
cavalry. We have oftcn heard, alik,
the oGcerx Of the y. 8. army and
Union citizens living in the regio~
thoy infested, speak Of the rsgimeps
they commanded As dipgrace to tlc
Federal cause, towards 10 a 6glt,
and good At nothing except s,cali,g
aud robbing, At which, eoInposd
principally Of escaped convicss from
Mexico, they we're experts bsyo,d
anything ever known in ~ other
country than Mssico And Westsn
TEXAS.
Men liks Davis, whose original
idcs 0as to coa6ds tho lesdcrshipin
secession to natives II the South, AID
who Was spgersd because a man Of
Northern birth was sent ~ the secs
sion convcstion iastead Of himsdf,
have very grcs. jealously Of all Norh.
crn men. SO, since tho Var " oer,
every effort Of the old Texan o.
called Union men has been TO pcrc.
cute and drive away from Texas Ill
tho soldiers Of the (luion army AID
other Northern sen Who might IN.
dsrtake to settle IN that State, anoto
mouopoliss in their hands and in
those Of such OK rebels as they could
get to sspport them, all the pl.ce
anApowes sethc State.
Tosuch . pitch Of impudencc tkl
thi. go, that during the adrsinistr.-
tons Of Sheridan and Mower, this
Davis actually undertook to get upa
protest against the appointment; #
army officers and new come Northern
men to Offices under the recons,rn,-
ton laws, declaring that he aud
other disappointed, and Therefore
sececding, sscssaionists, ought to haze
thor all.
We have before us the daily Aus.
tin Republican, Of the 9Th, whith
has three column reply to the Ia,
ing bare, in this paper, the pcrsec,-
tons undertaken by Davis and hs
Corpus Christie associates, McClam,
Dix, ct al, of Daniel Havrety "on a
suspicion Of debt"
Il carsfslly conceals the fact .h't
McClans, tho prosecutor and creditor,
was sheriff also, and ironcd down hs
victim with shacklcs and put him N
an iron cage, while murdcrers and
highvsymen walked the strests US
touched.
Now, tho lawyer Of this McClsns
10 4. J. Davis, who he'd him end
Scott, the Judge, aud others sppoiss
cd to oihce that they might ia tbs
and similar ways carry lawsuits fer
him for Pss.e says, ss an excuse
for violating the constitution in np.
pointing q man Judge who doss not
liSc in the district, that Davis is tho
Su and *SvMxba N B4sesAp
and keep this asd to push il through.
McClans claimed that Hsvrety
owed him $4,000. As the lsttcr
had gone into bankruptcy, there WAS
no way for him to get II, unless by
shacklcs and confinement during
summer and winter II . shsst iron
cage, 8 BY 10 feat, torturss which
we're used, proven to he used, aud
not aeaisd. he could squeess Il out
" sss.s~.y- ...ss1.. a,vsSssss~
similar means have bssn used .s.;..i
tho UNPUBLISHED people Of Texas with
like intent; or il not employed, the
mere terror Of falling into the hands
of Davis, McClans, and DIX, and Of
going into the swsat-box Of torture
invented BY the latter, haa forced
mon to pay unconseisstious demands.
1t is proper here to say that when
Havrety was finally released by bail,
undoubtedly good, hs had y borrow
the means from . stranl pr to get
away, while he was daily threatened
with assassination By thsss loyal
Texans. m
The facts in brief Of Hsvrctys
cas- arc these, A. shown in the record
and transcript Of testimony At hesd-
quarters. Havrety was suttler Of =
Federal reginent which, at the close
Of the var, waa a Corpus Christi.
Dryden, the agent Of McClane, at the
urgency Of III latter, pashed upon
Hsvrsty . lot Of wool, which the
former sou'd got ship, but which the
latter, a. suttlsF, having UnitsA
States transportation, could. The
wool had to become III property Of
the latter, and 10 Il was sold 10 him !;
bat he wa cheated il the price, He
shipped half Of it on one steamer
which vas wrecked, and was . totsi
loss. The resi- was shipped and he
went with il, but WAS found Of 10 in
fcrior. quality thst II did not pay
half Whist wss expected.
In the nsestins Havrctys pecu-
mary aAsin isll inso confusion. His
