TEXAS EDITOR WHO COULD NOT AprRR-
CIATE A CLEAN SHIRT.-Wheneyer anybody
does anything particularly absurd he is imme-
diately located in Texas, and IL some person
wishes to perpetrate joke, as to whose excel
lence he is somewhat in doubt, he ascribes il to
a Texas editor, thereby clearing his own skirts
Of all responsibility in the premises. The Texas
editor s made to suffer in various ways and he is
accordingly most convenient creature. "Edi-
tors" We are told, for instance by some exceed
inglydroll writer shave afirstrate time inTexas
The ladies OF town out there have given to the
editor OF the paper an embroidered shirt which
contains pictorial history Of Texas, including
the war with Mexico, and meeting of the first
legislature anu also pictures Of the fruits and
cereals Of the State, all worked in red and
w0rsted. The editor never wore q shirt in his
life, and he thought it was q banner for the
temperance procession which was to come off
the next week So he made little speech of
thanks, IN which he said he would "fing il out
forever to the breezes Of heaven, that they
might kiss its folds, aud that, until his hand
palsied, 1t should never be trailed in the dust
never!" The ladies didn't understand him; and
when he talked about its trailing they blushed,
and said they were very sorry they made ii too
long. But q committee man took the editor
aside and explained the shirt to him in q whis-
per, and the next day he appeared at the office
with that shirt mounted over his coat and wrote
four columns Of explanation for his paper. The
shirt is much admired by the boys Of the town,
and whenever the editor goes out for a walk
they follow him in regiments, studying the his
tory Of Texas and the fine arts OF the back of it.

RObeson from Rear Admiral RadfOrd, COM

that he was at Cherbourg, France. The Secre-
tary is of the opinion that the cause OF no news
being received now from Admiral Radford is
that the French have control OF the cable, and
OF course monopolize it IN the interests of the
French government.

PARIS, July ls.-The Emperor yesterday re-
ceived deputation OF officers OF the Nat ional
Guard Of Paris. In response to their congratu-
lstions the Emperor said he relied upon the
National Guard; upon them deyolved the pro-
lection Of the capital during the war.
The Minister Of War has asked the Corps
Legislatn for an increase of the military class
of 1870 from 80 900 to 14O, 900 men, and that this
contingent may be called out to serve till Janu-
ary LIST, 1s11. The Corps will vote on this project
to-day, together with several Others recently
submitted by the government for the prosecn-
ton Of the war. Napoleon's address to the peo-
pie will not be published, says the Patrie, until
the Emperor has departed for the front.
PARIS, July l9.-The Journal ohiciel an
nounces that the Emperor has decided not to
receive, either in the Imperial quarters or at
quarters OF the general officers, any volunteers
or any foreign officers, or any one not belonging
to the French army.
Theirs publishes this morning an indignant
denial Of having received, as stated in the
Figaro, aletter from the King of Prussia, thank
ing him for his speech against war.
When the Emperor quilted the Tullleries to-
day, to return to st. Cloud he was loudly cheersd
by the people.

BERLIN, July 1s.-Last evening King William
made q speech to great number Oh people OF
Berlin, who came to congratulate him. He said
he is not responsible for the war which mas broke
out. He might personally be passive under
the outrage, but Germany, even from beyond
the seas, had spoken. Sacrihces we're sure.
Prussia has been spoiled by her rapid victories
in two wars, and perhaps worse fate awaited
her now. He, however, knew what to hope for
from the good army and the people.
A French proclamation for the purpose OF ex-
citing the people to revolt has been distributed
in Hanover.
La Liberte publishes statement to the effect
that General Changanier win probably be ap-
pointed Minister Of War, vice Lebeuf, who
takes q command in the field.

The New CoMMANDANT oP THB NAVY
YARD.-The resignation OF Admiral Melancthon
Smith as Chief of the Bureau Of Equipment and
Repairs in the Navy Department was accepted
yesterday afternoon, and Immediately thereaf-
ter an order was issued assigning him to the
command of the Washington Navy Yard, uice
Admiral j. A. Dahlgren, deceased.
Our citizens and those engaged at the yard are
alike to be congratulated on this assignment
Admiral Smith combines in an unusual degree
the qualities essential for this important Do
sition, and we confidently predict most sue
cessful and popular administration of its affairs
under his command. He will assume charge
some time next week, the yard meantime re-
naming under charge OF Capt. Patterson.
The TAX ON THE SALARIES OF CLERKS
Editor Star: AS the bill recently passed by Con-
gres provides for a tax of 2k per cent on in
comes Of - ,0C0 and over only, It has become a
question Of concern among the clerks in the
several departments, whose incomes are less
than 50 600, whether or not the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, or the officers who control
the matter, will continue the deduction of per
per cent. from their pay, which deduction has
been made since the trst day Of January last,
the day on which the law expired which author
Ized the collection OF this tax.
Would it not be just and proper for the
officials not only to discontinue this tax OF 5per
cent. on clerks whose incomes are exempt under
the law, but refund to them the amount deducted
from their salaries since the first day OF
January?
This is a question of interest to many clerks,
and notice in your valuable paper will proba-
bly, call the attention OF the proper officers to
the subject. JUSTICE.

ALDERMAN CoNNoLLY's sEXPLAHATIoN.-N-
dermsn Connolly, who seems to have a good
deal to explain, rose to personal explanation
last night, in which he had considerable TO say
about THE STAR. His allegation that the mem
orable proceedings OF the Noble Eight found
their way into THE STAR through the sugges-
ton er dictation of his colleague from the
Third Ward, is singularly childish. And
Mr.. Connolly certainly could not have been
so ignorant as he professed of the position occu-
pied bv Mr.. Shepherd toward TIE STAR. He
knew, or ought to have known, that Mr.. Shep-
herd is associated with three other gentlemen
in the ownership of THE STAR, no one of whom
has prepOnderating share. And, 50 tar from
Mr.. Shepherd favoriug us with suggestions, we
have to say that our complaint is quite in the
other direction. We have that high appreciation
of his sagacity and practical. oommsn-sense
ideas that we should like to :" interview" him
much Oftener than We are able TO in his busy
career. IL Mr.. Connolly has any intu uence over
his colleague, and viii induce him to report at
least once day at The STAR Office any sug-
gestions that occur to him we will cheeriulIy
forgive Mr. &. all the harsh things he has said
about this paper. But Mr.. Shepherd seems to
prefer to express his views from his seat in
the Board OF Aldermen; and no one can
say that he does not express them with
aoiity anu very much 10 the point
AS for THE STAR, it has been in the habit,
during our entire knowledge Of it-and We
have been connected with it for more than
fifteen years-of showing up all sorts of hum
bugs, frauds, dead-beats, political shysters,
TurveydrOps, knaves and noodles, without
fear or favor, and very much to the satisfaction
OF the public 1t is not quite likely that so live
and active a newspaper would need any prompt
ing to enter upon so rich a field of plean-
ing as that presented by the action of the Ne
gative Eight in the Board Of Aldermen.
We were indebted to the junior Alderman from
the Third Ward, however, for the mischievous
suggestion that glance in the direction Of his
colleagues desk would show that gentleman in
the act Of laboriously consulting the list OF
nominees, provided to enable him to vote ac-
cording to programme.
