Special to tho Galveston News.
WASHINGTON, March IA re-
markable letter in to. o.day's Chroni-
Gle on the status of Texas over the
sigrature of Garland, member OF
Congress elect, misrcprcscnting the
condition of the State, and charging
mob violence against Union men.
particularly in tho second Congress
sional district, is evidently publish
ed with a view TO prejudicing the
public against the right of Conner
to seat in Congress.
In publishing the above dispatch
the News says:
1t is possible that the name given
as Garland, in our special Washing
ton dispatch, should be Grafton, who
came within about 1000 votes o.
boing elected over Conner, in the
I'd district.
The strongest Radicals in th.
State certainly cannot sustain thi,
movement to get a seat to which the
contestant is not entitled, knowing
as they do, the extreme falsity o
the cause alleged for it, as stated ir
our dispatch. There may have
been a good deal of violent counting
after the late election, but there Ger
tainly was no "mob violence agains
Union men" during the election
nor is there any such thing in exis
tence now anywhere in the State
The true condition of things is 81
decidedly different from the repre-
sentation of this letter, that it will
be received with painful surprise b.
all good citizens in the Second Dis
trict, and in every other Part o
Texas.
