The Texas SENAToR.-We warned our Texas cotem-
porares that it perfectly idle to endeavo to praise
the caawags carpetbaggers of their State into de-
cency These fellows are lost to all shame and to all
desire to gain the good opinion of honest men They
have accepted Office, either to vent their malice or
which is the more powerful motive, to make money.
No praise, censure, no ambition to earn respecta-
BILE name will turn them from their noble purpose
their fixed resolve.
Several Of the Texas papers really felt, fegned
hope that Hamilton, after his election would feign if
he did not feel desire to eface the stigma with which
his has branded him Texans brand their cat
tie. But it is the of such that they have no
appreciation of their degradaton-r glory in
their infamy. Hamiltons speech in Congress- short
synopsis of which is given dispatches of the 10TH
is sufficient evidence of the miserable malice that
rankes in his heart Feeling that he has forfeited all
claims to respectability with people he "was born
and raised among" be gratifes his hate, endeaVors to
infict mean revenge, by stigmatizng them the
most blood thirsty set of cu-throats God had per-
mitted on his footstool" IF those to whom be ad-
dressed these vile ISLANDERS not themselves blinded
by prejudice made rabid by hate they would see that
his words were falsifed in his own person. What
more eloquent denial could be given than his presence
in the halls of Congress? This miserable dog per-
mtted to travel through the State, everywhere giving
utterance to his SANDERS his malice and his hate yet
never met his just deserts at the hands of any Of this
"bloOdthirsy set of cut-throats" he was "born and
raised among"

THE CoNNECTICUT ELEcTIoN-As the New Orleans
Picayune justly remarks the Democracy of the little
nutmeg State entitled to the fluctuations of their
compatrios throughout the country If they did not,
in the late election achieve complete revolution in
the politics of the State they won such victory as
gives that the end of fanatcism and pro.
scription at hand. They have elected English Gov
ernor by majority Of SO votes-a gain of 1921
votes on their poll Of last year. The Radical party
now has bare working majority in the House. while
in the Senate the parties about equally divided
This comes to reversal of the political regime
to make the situation of the opposition rather I'm.
comfortable In speaking of this result the Picayune
further says:
In the present condition of the country, we consider
it of more Importance than the late political rev.
olution in the great State of New York In the little
State of Connecticut it is triumph of principle over
destructive fanatcism of the party of the consttu-
ton, still true to the ideas and practices of the earlier
and better days, over revolutionary radicaism, while
On the other hand the Democratic triumph in New
ork promises to be but barren sceptre in the gripe
OF placehunte and politicians without convictions
1t the triumph of clearly enuneiated principles not
of heavy msortes, at the North, that is of any sig
nihcance, or give any hope to US Of the South.

THE STORM IN New 0RLEANs-The local reporter
OF the Picayune gives an of the young deluge
accompanied by hail. with which the denizens of the
Crescent city visited the night of the 7h from
which we make an extract
About midnight Thursday night, one of the severest
storms broke upon the city that has been experienced
in this latitude for years The rain fell in torrents
accompanied by hail. 1t was but hour two until
nearly all the streets running from the river we're IN
der water. The sewers overfown, and, standing
upon the corner of interesting Streets far the eve
could reach either way, sheet of muddy water lay
along the thoroughfares. From midnight until 10
o'clock the rain incessant It fell in no steady
usual shower but swept along in sheets of water and
gusts Of great violence. It more resembed deuge
than rain.
1t beat through the shutters of the windows and
came down the ehimneys of the houses in miniature
avalanches. Outdoor exercise on foot simply i'm
possse1e When day dawned and the population got
ready for market or to go to customary avocations
they found themselves hemmed in by the flood Oc-
casionally some adventurous person would dare the
flood, and wading knee deep upon the slippery treaeh
eTous banguette would last take the fatal misstep
and plunge head and ears into the gutter.
