The Texas Election.

The Counties OF Milan and Navar-
ro, in Texas, did not vote at the late
election in that State, as the regista-
ton had not been completed on ac-
count of disturbances. The latest
word is to the effect that Gen. i.ov-
nolds, Commanding, has ordered an
election in those Counties, but has
referred to President Grant the
question whether their votes shall be
counted, and the President has not
yet responded. Without counting
their votes, the Republican ticket is
elected by 800 majority, according to
one account, and by 400 according to
another; but it is said that the vote
Of these Counties would have chang.
ed the result.

If we have any understanding Of
the meaning of this slang phrase, it
applies especially to the concluding
paragraphs Of Gen. Buffers late let
ter to Horace Greeley, which we find
published as follows:
On the other hand, in this very
autumn you were given the unani-
nous nomination of Republican
Convention, with no opposition cam
didate in your own party running
against you, as had; supported by
the tribune with its mighty influence
when sustaining a good cause, aided
by the prestige of a most popular
General of the war as your yokefel-
low in the race; in candidature for
one of the few offices for which it is
au,mitted by all men you are quail
fed, supported by paper in your
city of a very large circulation, which
is the most bitter opponent OF Gen.
Grants Administration, even to the
before unheard Of extent OF its editor
paying for advertisements In your
favor in the Tri6une--to obtain which
support you are said to have sacrificed
your friend and henchman at the
bidding of its editor, his enemy, tG
crafty his revenge. Witty your mag
nanimity and universal amnesty
and universal suffrage" fully under
stood and ably presented by your
friends, as well as by the enemies OF
the Republican party, and more par
ticularly by the latter; with the fac
simile of the bail-bond of jeff. Davis
widely published during the canvass,
showing that you manifested your
"faith by your works." yet, what
must have been to your intense graf
ification, running the lowest on your
ticket in the Republican counties OF
the State Of New York, where Re-
publican majorities were given for
the friends Of the Administration by
an honest and just ballot. Butin the
Democratic wards Of New York City
where you yourself insist the most
outrageous frauds upon the Repub-
lican voters were perpewated; where
the adherents of the principal on
your bond were in hegreatest ma
iorities; where the murderers of the
colored orphan children, and burners
of their asylums, in the draft riots Ol
1863, had full possession Of the polls,
you lead every one Of your ticket, as
one could have easily foreseen. II

If but one little hole be made in
the dykes of Holland, the whole
country is thereby imperiled and
threatened with overwhelming de-
vastation. The only safety is to stop
the leak before it grows too large.
In similar way our own country
is threatened with devastation-not
from water, but from leeches! Read
the following, which we clip from
the State Register Of the 18th inst:
AS we have before stated, the Gov
ernment has already loaned its cred
it to railroads to the extent of $70,-
0OO, 900, and hasgranted 300, AGA square
miles of land, equal to the combined
area of France and Great Britain.
Stupendous as this liberality is, the
kings of the lobbies are not satisfied
with it, but are moving down for
more, and with the voracity Of sharks
demanding from the Government
what little Of money and land it has
left. There are now pending in the
Senate one hundred bills and resOlu-
tiOns asking for subsidies to railroads,
canals, telegraphs, steamships, river
improvements, and other things with
a list too long to mention all its de-
mands. In the total, these bills and
demands ask for 100000, 600 acres of
land, and S104 100000 in the form of
bonds with guaranteed interest. Say
ing nothing of the bonds-which are
"only a hundred millions or so,"-
the Government, to appease the cry
for land, would have to give away an
area of about three h,Htllred and ninety
thousand square n1iies!-or in other
words, a little slice as large as the
States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas and Iowa--an empire as large
as Great Britain and Austria COM
bined! In the matter Of railroads
alone, Congress is now asked to build
fourteen thousand miles.
Fortunately, the greater part of
this food is only asked for as yet,
and not yet granted. But the hole
has been made in the dykes; and the
only safety now is to stop it before
we are overwhelmed. Let men and
Governments be just before they are
generous. If by spending certain
moneys they can increase their re-
sources in greater proportion, if rea-
son approves, let it be done. But
let them pay their honest debts before
they begin to squander. When our
Public Debt is paid, and taxes re-
duced to the minimum, then, if lands
and gold remain for the purpose, the
Government will have time and
chances enough for subsidies.

He again urges upon the attention
of the Legislature the necessity of
calling in the School Fund, when in
the hands of the County Treasurers,
and investing the same in State
bonds, or registered bonds of the
United States; or using the same in
building or supporting our State In
stitutions; that as fast rs collected,
the money be sent to the State Treas
ury instead of re-loaning it. Were
this fund used to erect or improve
our eleemosynary buildings, it would
only be necessary to raise tax suf-
ficient to pay the interest on the
amount thus used, thus avoiding the
constant losses to this fund which by
law the State must make good. The
fund would thereby be increased,
and hundreds Of thousands of dollars
saved to the State.

Death Of l.. M. stanton.
ExECUTIyE MANSION.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, Dec. oath, 1869.
The painful duty devolves upon
the President Of announcing to the
people of the United States the death
Of one Of its most distinguished citi-
zens and faithful servants, the Hon.
Edwin M. Stanton, which occurred
in this City early this morning. He
was distinguished in the councils OF
the nation during the entire period
Of its regent struggle for national ex-
istence, first as Attorney General,
then as Secretary of War. He was
unceasing in his labors, and earnest
and fearless in assumptions of respon-
sibilities necessary to his cOuntry's
success; respected by all good men
and feared by wrong dOers. In his
death the bar, the bench and the
nation sustain a great loss, which
will be mourned by all. AS mark
of respect to his smemOry it Is ordered
that the Executive Mansion and the
several Departments at Washington
be draped in mourning, and that all
business be suspended on the day OF
the funeral. Signed, U. 5. GRANT.
The Secretary Of War this after
noon issued the following order: The
eminent ability Of the late Secretary
of War, his great legal requirements,
his firm patriotism, and his studious
devotion in the most trying time OF
the Republic, when many others
faltered, have commanded the admi-
ration OF the country, while his
management of this Department
during the days when man OF de-
termined energy and will was re-
auired, has marked him as an officer
uneaualed In administration. II is
ordered that the Offices connected
with the Department Of War be
draped in mourning for the period OF
thirty days; and all business suspend
ed therein on the day Of the funeral, !,

Some of the suggestions and rec
concentrations made by Auditor of
State Elliott, in his forthcoming Re-
port to the General Assembly, are
worthy Of the serious consideration
of all citizens. We quote some of
them from the Registers synopsis:
He recommends change in the
present system Of assessing for taxa
ton. 1t Is often double and errOnes
GUS; and he cites the books of his
Office to show that there has been re-
mitted during the last two years the
sum of $40, ,S0S.6 Ct, for double and erro-
neous taxation; and this amount, he
says, is below the average for the last
eight years. TO avoid this he rec
ommends the geographical or Con-
gressiOnal system of assessment, and
that there be nothing more put on
the list than the description, number
of acres, valuation and total tax. The
advantages Of this change are: re-
duction Of the number of illegal sales;
a more equaliZed valuation Of prob
erty; a reduction of the expenses Of
publishing delinquent lists; a saving
of time and expense of Boards Of Su-
pervisors; and prevention of double
and erroneous assessments.
He recommends that the laws be
SO amended that the several Counties
shall become liable for the mainten-
ance of their Deaf, Dumb and Blind,
the same as for their Insane.
On the Auditors books are many
unsettled and unavailable accounts,
which can never be made available.
The Auditor recommends that the
Census Board be authorized tocollect,
compromise or settle these claims,
and that they be closed up.

lease of the Bay and Peninsula of
by our Government, but there
appears to be no reliable authority
for any of them. The facts probably
are, that Gen. Babcock has received
some propositions in regard to the
matter, and has laid them before
President Grant, and that these
propositions are now under consider
alton by our Government. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the proposed

House also adopted Resolution au-

ton of the remains of Geo. Peabody.
Also, adopted Resolution donating
cannon for the erection of bronze
equestrian statue of Grant to be
placed at the southeast corner of the

In the House on the ed, Mr.. vii.
iiams introduced II bill to supply
artificial limbs to discharged mained
soldiers and sailors. Its precise pro-
visions are not reported; and we cam
not say wherein it differs from Mr..
Loughridge's bill for the same pur-
pose. But Congress ought to provide
for the continued supply of these
limbs to its crippled defenders, for
precisely the same reason that the
first supply of the kind was made.
And there is true economy in the
measure. BY the aid of these limbs
the crippled soldiers are in most cases
enabled to earn their own living,
which they could not do without
them. We hope to see Mr.. Lough-
ridge press this measure to success

the joint resolution for adjournment;
and passed the bill making appro-
priations for the continuation of
work on the Dcs Moincs Rapids of

zation Of the Militia in Georgia.
Senator Sumner introduced a new
bill to carry out the Reconstruction
acts in Virginia, declaring the pres
ent State Government to be provis-
ional only, and providing for full

State.-Senator Wilson offered Il
Resolution directing the Military
Committee to consider the expcdi-
ency u adding two to the number OF
Lieutenant Generals, and reducing
the number Of Major Generals from

object was to do justice to the emf
ncnt Generals Thomas and Meade,
whose great services to the country
were universally admitted. And

| adjourned.
