JErrrnsoy.-A meeting to consider the
division Of the State was held In
BcaahioRl on the 3rd. On motion Of 7. j.
Russell, Esq, the following resolution ives
carried unanimously: C.,
Resolved, That we are in favor OF sepa-
rating all that part Of Texas lying east Of
the Trinity River from the State Of Texas,
to be called East Texas, and invite al
countins In East Texas TO Join us in this
Observation-Disclosures News.
We will state to Mr.. T. ]. Russell, Esq,
and those who voted for his resolution,
that We vote no! The Tyler Index and
jefferson Radical, and their supporters
will 20 for the resolution. We would like
very much to see great city built up at
Sabine Pass, but we cannot afford to lose
Galveston, and our half interest in Hous-
ton aud the Central Railroad, and all the
country between the Trinity and the Bra
zos rivers, TO build up q city in the south
east corner Of the State. Wait until VIC
get the Government out Of the hands OF
Grant, Davis, Butler & Co, and we will
think of the division question. But Con-
gress, under the lead Of Spoony Butler, has
way Of guaranteeing 10 the States re-
publican form of government" that is not
in accord with our Democratic notions,
and we do not want any more Of the sort
that has been dished out to "Texas and
the nine other Southern States lately in
rebellion in ours.
1t would b. indeed suicidal in the peo-
pie of East Texas to now divide. A Radi.
col East Texas with Don Campbell or
Geo. W. Whitmore at its head, and small
one horse city at Sabine Pass, would bee all
that We would get by 1t at cost Sf about
$l5.CO0OOO. Hold on Messrs Biissell &
Co., yoii will have city at Tub Pass yet
if you can build it. n....
And We, too Vote no to any such mr.
rangeineHt. We cannot afford to tie North

1t is noteworthy that in every recon-
structed State where the carpet-bag ad-
venturers have been put out of office by
the people upon whose earnings they
have been depredating, they Immediately
flee away like birds that change with the
seasons.
For example, in Tennessee, amongst
all the thousands of these cormorants,
who for time luxuriated in the offices to
which they were not elected, and filled
their pockets from treasury to which
they contributed nothing, scarcely one of
the number can be found since the right
of selecting their own agents has been &C
quired by the people of the State. With
the restoration of this right to
those to whom it belonged, the occu-
patton of the interlopers ceased, and they
have returned to wallow in the sinks and
slums of Northern cities, whence they
emerged to act for a day the parts of
Judges, Lawmakers, and Governors, in
the solemn farce by which the Radical
party has distinguished its ignominious ca
reer.
When they are gone, these ''sons of a
dav" pass into hideous memory to all
classes. The negroes feel that in organ
izing them by base appeals to their pas
sions and by false promises which they
have no means offulflling, into separate
combination against the whites, with
whom their destiny has been cast, and
to whom they must continually prove I'M
equal in a contest which may have been
foolishly and wickedly precipitated, they
have been their worst enemies. And the
whites will remember them as disturbers
of the public peace and INSCRIPTIONS
knaves, who besides robbing them of their
earnings in their struggle against poverty,
and taking from their children the very
bread which they had toiled to provide,
loaded them with political disabilities.
These thoughts are suggested by the
following statement of North Carolina
correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
the leading Republican paper in the
country. Referring to the defeated car
pet-bag officials who have had their day
in that State, the writer says:
PLAINLY, the curse of the State, and the
Republican party in the State, has been
set of migratory cormorants, who are now
fast leaving it; unfortunately some of them
leaving bills unpaid aud bonds forfeited for
deficits in their accounts.

The Doom of The CarPet-baE and
ScaIawag Leaders.

The self-assertiOn Of the negro in the
Radical party, is one of the significant
facts of the recent election. The African
element which comprises ninety-nine hum
dredths of that organization has become
informed of its power and has shown its
determination TO exercise it in the choice
of its leaders. 1t has also shown its loss
of respect for the white adventures and
their scalawag associates, who have OBJ
tanned office and plumber by the negro
vote.
In three Districts in South Carolina,
the negroes have set aside their white
leaders and elected Representatives of
their own race. Having secured large
majority in the Legislature, they will fol-
low up their victory by casting off one of
the carpet-bag L. S. Senators, and elect
ing a man of color in his place. In Vir-
ginia, in contest between one Doctor
Norton (negro,) and a carpet-bagger, the
former bears off the Congressional hOnors.
Il
Buck, a carpet-bagger from the field, as
the Radical candidate, and has superced-
ed him as the Representative in Con-
gress. And in other Southern States,
here and there, similar results have been
accomplished. Thus, by law of retri-
button, which sooner or later never fails
of its execution, the Inscriptions adven-
turers, who came to the South to make
politics trade, and to organize the ne
groes into race combination against the
white inhabitants, are being driven from
place by the negroes themselves. They
have been doubly defeated. First in the
route of the party, to which they belong /;
and secondly in the Illustration of their
plans of leadership and of permanently
making the blacks their beasts of burden.

We have observed with some surprise
the opinion advanced in a recent number
Of the Pilot the official organ of the Rad
ical State government, that the law pass
ed by the Legislature for holding special
elections to fill vacancies in the Legislat-
ure, Is not constitutional. Weare sur
prised, not that the Pilot has discovered
the fact, but that it has been so long in
making and announcing the discovery
The Pilot holds that the defect in the
law consists in its provision for the use of
the registration taken under the recon
struction laws by the military commander
Thst registration has clearly served its
Infamous purpose; and nothing but
downright ignorance, malice or knavery,
on the part Of the majority in the Legis-
lature could have suggested the plan of
bringing it into requisition at any future
election under the recognized State gov
eminent. The CLARION called atten-
ton to the fact at the time, but in vain |;
and the official newspaper was silent
The Pilot. assumes that an election held
under the law would be ''illegal and void, I"
and expresses a doubt about the inten-
ton of the Governor in the matter of or
dering it. The q Eminent Man" never
theless did approve and sign the law; and
he would present himself in an unenvi-
BILE attitude before the public, in refusing
to execute it on the ground of its uncon-
stitutionality. He cannot take advan-
tage of his own blunder to deprive the
people in a number Of counties of their
right of representation in the Legislature.
The wrong which would otherwise re-
suit to the people from the use of the mil
itary registration, is in a measure rene

tinctly to understand, will embrace all

age, without reference to former po-
litical disabilities. All citizens who were
DISTINGUISHED by the reconstruction acts
viii have the right to vote in the special
elections, provided the Governor does
not evade his duty to issue writs of cleo
ton on the Pretence that ne has discover
ed that the law which he approved is "il-
legal and void" Meantime, let the tax

themselves in readiness to bring out their

molishing the oppressive system of taxa

The November Elections as Viewed
from am Independent Repub-
Iican Sfand-POinI.

The St. Louis Democrat was the pion
eer free-soil paper of the West. From
the free-soil party it glided into the Re

been a powerful champion from the be-
ginning. The following is its plain spoken

recently been held. 1t unhesitatingly
proclaims the defeat of the Radical party
and predicts its route under the leader.
ship of Grant in the coming Presidential
election:
From the St. Louis Democrat, Liberal Re-
publiean.)
General Grant desired an Endorsement OIL
his administration, and he has it. Perhaps
IL is not of a sort TO entirely please him. He
wished the people to turn from questions OF
State policy. and TO forget the burdens OF
taxation, devoting their entire attention To
the question whether U. :. Grant should be
reelected to the Presidency, it must be adj
mitted that, if the elections of Tuesday are
to be interpreted as verdict upon that point
they do not give him much encouragement
In New York, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Missouri the supporters of the adj
ministrariOn have either been defeated. or
have lost largely in members of Congress
In New York, where the majority for
Hoffman in 1865 was 2S.000, and the majori-
ty against Grant only 10000 obtained by
most notorious and gigantic frauds. the adj
ministratiOn has lost ground so largely that
Hoffman now hasOvcr 10000. In Illinois. a
State which Grant carried in 1865 by OIL
600 majority, the Republicans have now
prevailed by only 25,0OO. In this State,
where Grant had twenty-five thousand ma
iority in 1868 he has been trying to force
through candidate for Governor who is
beaten by thirty or forty thousand majority.
III these Endorsements satisfy the President,
he is not hard to please.
The moral of these elections is simply this
the administration of General Grant has so
dissatisfied the people that it is already
plain that any party attempting TO run him
will be ANONYMOUSLY beaten in 1872. unless
he shall do something to recover public ia
VOr.

THiSSOuri's Decree against the Head
OfJhe Republican Party.

Notwithstanding 10000 of the good
citizens of Missouri were not permitted
to participate in the late election under
the despotic rule of the Republican party,
her untrammeled voters by majority of
40, 900 registered their decree against the
Head of the Republican party In a
formal announcement of this action ITO
the President" the Missouri Democrat,
the organ of the Liberal Republicans,
explains the cause of this popular upris-
ing against him. From this significant
manifesto, We have copied as follows:
What is it that the people disapprove?
We can inform you, sir They deem it an
outrage that you have tried TO control a
State election by gross abuse of your power
ofremoval and appointment. They main
tain that 1t Is wrong for President to use
that power to force himself upon the people
| for second term. They desire you, in fu-
ture. to paw better attention to your own
duties at Washington-the duties which
your masters, the people, assigned to You.
and not to spend your time in meddliug
with State elections. It seems to the people
that you deserve severe rebuke, alike for
neglectiug your legitimate affairs and for
abusing the power entrusted to you, and,
DclHk AECCLCti. nCtbucI AW6U Dy YOUR name
nor seduced by your offices, they give YOU
that rebuke very plainly.
The first duty of a President is to keep
the pledges made TO the people when can
didate. This you have not done. You
promised to give the country peace and
pledged yonrselfto'a platform In which the
removal of political disabilities was most
prominent feature. Soon after you became
President, you meditated compliance with
this pledge by proclaiming amnesty, and
again by recommending 20 Congress remov-
al of disabilities, but in each case unscrup-
ul0us partisans. who want stiH longer TO be
able to elect mere tools of their own from
Southern States, turned you from your pur-
pose- At this day you are their tool ST.
mon Cameron. as unsavory man as ever
sat in the Senate, controls you as ifyou
were his hired man. II Is discreditable that
President should be so controlled by any
one: douhly dfscreditable that he should be
controlled by such q man trehly discredfta-
BILE that be should thus be led TO depart from
the solemn pledges by which his election
was secured.
Other duties you hayegreatly neglected.
