Politics in Texas.
Judge Paschal, of Texas, who is now here, is out
in card to-day, defending Governor Jack Hamilton
against the charge Of deserving the Rebel party in
that state. He denounces General Davis, who heads
the opposition to Hamilton, as bolter from the
regularly organized Republican party, and says
Davis and his followers as bitter against Grant
as the Rebels are. In conclusion he says:-
II the President will appoint an early election we
VIII carry the Constitution by an immense majority
as well as the Hamilton ticket unless the Democracy
should organize and defeat us ALL AS it is now, more
conservative Democrats are disposed to favor the
Hamilton ticket, and will organize and put the
ticket in the fed II election can be had in July
or August but should be very fearful Of success il
the election be postponed until late in the fall or
until after the other elections. We have at least
the consolation Of knowing that none of our party
nave opposed the adoption of the Constitution
the Reconstruction laws, or the administration. Nor
have we put any hobby for national principle, and
we cannot recognize those who do as safe Repub
licans.
Judge Paschal has heretofore been regarded as
strong radical.
The Negro Doctors,
who were prescribed by the Medical Society of this
district and refused membership therein, have
written letter, explaining their conduct, and de-
Tending themselves against the charge of being
quacks. 1t appears they paid the regular license
demanded by the Medical Society, and that the lat
ter meanly pocketed their money, and then refused
them the privileges of the society," DIR. Purvis in
his letter, :'It is remarkable fact that those
who were more earnest in opposing us were few
years ago equally jealous in giving aid to the Re-
bellion." The negro doctors announce their nten-
ton of taking measures to get back their license
money from the Medical Society, inasmuch as the
latter refuses their rights.
