Governor. 1t Is thought hero that lhrook-
morton holds views in unison with Epper-
son, aud set his vote down as equal 10 1--WE
thousand for any candidate whose election
no iavors. In fact, a very heavy response
biliiy rests on Throokmorion, for TO him
the whole Conservative party look for ad-
vice in tho present crisis. Tell him TO
show his hand.
The Texas Republicans in Washington
are split up into three parties. Hamilton,
at the head Of the conservative Republican
party, with Baker Bell, Haynes and 9th
ers to back him, is memorialiring Congress
through Butler Chairman of the Recon-
slruction Committee, to reject the division
ordinance, TO accept the constitution, and
for the removal Of disabilities. The Coy
otes, with Davis at their head and old
Morgan at the extreme end Of the tail, are
slandcring Texas and Texas, us usual, in
sisting on dividing the State, opposing the
acceptance of the constitution by Congress
and dead down on the removal of all dis
abilities; while the Siamese twins, Tobin
and Sherwood, are urging military gov
eminent for Texas, with n Governor and
twefity-fi five Legislators, to be appointed by
tho President, with p,cnary powers.

says himself, spending oil the money he
