The PRINTING BILL.-Our neghbors of the Repub-
ican have come in defence of the iniquitous print
ing BILL and as its g. chief beneficiary" do not seem
over satisfied with the piekings they obtain. Among
other things they intimate that they get their pay in
warrants which sometimes hardly saable at any
price over fifty cents dollar, as the State treas
ury is in condition of chronic collapse Now the
question arises how did the State happen to get into
this unfortunate conditions The answer is obvious
because of the passage by the Radical Legislature of
such iniqutous measures this same printing bill.
Our assertion that under this bill the tax payers of the
State required to pay ten times as much as they
should for their public printing is coVertly denied,
though it must be patent to our contemporary that
about half the against the State treasury and
concerning which litigation has arisen, have been for
public printing. Though the chief the Republican can
by no means regard itself the sole beneficiary under
the printing BILL Every little Sx10 ornan of Radical
ism throughout the State has been fostered and sus
tanned by this same oppressive and wholly unjustfa-
BILE enormity Not only the laws and legislative
proceedings published without any kind of necessity
in these numerous cormorant official journals but
the parish, municipal and legal advertisements are
made in utter defiance of public opinion, to contribute
to their support. Thus it is that vampire press in
this State maintains itself at the expense OF the tax
PAYERS though against their will and that the people
are required to pay than ten dollars for every
one which could be honestly exacted as consdera
ton for services geographically rendered we DO
hope that spirit of honesty and fair dealing will in
duce the Legislature to sweep this vilianous printing
law from statute books forthwith

The Governor-EIect of Texas.

The Falls County Pioneer under the heading, 'Great
Men of Texas-Autobograph- J. Davis, G. G."
gives the following sketch Of this distinguished gentle
man:
About his birth there was nothing remarkable
traordinary: no stars fell, the gave light by
night and the sun by day. and there teegraphic
| announcement of the fact That important event in
his history took place, and all the women pronounced
him fine little fellow so like his father and mother
| He grew up pretty much other children do, and
the only evidence of prccociy of which we have any
account disposition to occupy seat at the rst
table and monopolize all the good things to the e1-
cuson of his brothers and sisters This disposition
has followed him through hfe-hence bis penchant Tor
all the best offices in the State. Mr.. Davis is now and
| has been for some time the Napoleonic style. In
1860 be blatant secessionst, and beated around
to an alarming extent-every one thought he would
clean up the whole Yankee nation before the other
Southern heroes had a showing. His desire Tor the
" good things" was still manifest, and he desired an
office in the c. s. A. muchlv. Failing in this, he ex
changed the gray for the blue, and rewarded to
his hearts content. He served in the Union army, so
much that he obtained the euphonous title OF Z. C.,
which stands for Carrion Crow
Now the way he happened to obtain this title, as re-
lated by an old rebel, was in this WISE His post OF
command was the Rio Grande, and his headquarters
in the saddle, experimenting the shipment of cotton,
stolen-no, captured from the rebels
! He had been marching day near the rver, when
the sudden appearance of few Confederate scouts
caused him to head his quarters towards the wide-ro
ing prairies Mexico-ward Suddenly there appeared
tefore him dark line Of what he thought was cav
airy Now it so happened that his line of retreat was
diagonal with his line of triumphant march down the
river few days previous, and devastation OF beeves
and sheep had marked his track. Drawing his splendid
field glass, he made accurate survey OF the field
On being satisfied with the advantages of his position,
he drew bis sword and gave the word of command
charge Fearful was that charge that made the earth
tremble.
Once within range of the sable line he ordered his
valiant men to fire, and volley after yolley of mus
kerry was heard while the missiles of death buried
upon the enemy The dark line up, and to his
astonshment vanished into thin air. 1t was brigade
of carrion devouring what OF beef and mutton
Davis and his men had left dead on the field.
From this time forth he has gone by the name of
Carron Crow Davis. He is as gallant lad as ever
fought the mimic Fray ever charged mullen stalk
or sturdy gander. We will give few more incl
dents in this great mans history at future day.
For the present we beg to be excused-our pen is
weary.
