The Final Departure.

The delegation of gentlemen sent here
by the people of Charleston, on the
Mountain Boy, as an escort for the State
officers on their journey to that place,
met the Governor and other officials at
the McLure House yesterday morning.
Senator PATRICK, on behalf of the COM
mittee, communicated to the Governor
the object of their mission, and after
confessing that the State officials must
experience deep regret at severing the
ties which had SO long bound them to
Wheeling and her good people, ex-
pressed the hope that the hospitslities
of Charleston would soon mitigate, il
they did not dispel entirely, the
sadness incident to breaking up of
these old and tender associations. Got
ernor STEVENSON briefly responded in
appropriate words, after which the
company spent pleasant hour in social
converse. The remainder of the day
the State officials spent in completing
their preparations for departure, and
last night shortly before twelve, were
all safely aboard the Mountain Boy,
ready to depart to tseir new field of
action. Some time during the night
the boat was to leave, and by this time
We presume the party are far on their
way to Charleston.
The gentlemen holding the various
have all made hosts of friends in this
city, and their departure is accepted
with regret. We wish them O safe
journey and happy residence in the
future Capital.

Politics in Texas.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette furnishes the follow
ing perfect picture of the politi.
cal situation in Texas, under the mild
and gentle suasion Of the bayonet:
Among the delegation from Texas, il
one gentlemen, a Democrat, elected by
the people of the Second District. He
comes to Washington with the largest
majority of any member from thai
State, with perhaps one exception
Daring the canvass in that district il
was proclaimed by one Lieutenat Graf
ton Syho was one Of the opponents o.
ir. Conner, that it did not matter how
many votes Conner got, that he (Con
ner) should never take his seat in Con
grcss; that General Butler controlled
Congress, and that it would be an easy
matter to enlist him against any
Democrat coming from any of the
Southern States. Notwithstanding this
pronuncamento of Mr.. Grafton, the iu-
teiligencv of the Second CongressionaI
district asserted ITSELF and Mr. Conner
was elected by two thousand five hun.
Gred majority, SO soon as the result OF
the election was known, Mr.. Grafton
WHO was then and is now second lieu
tenant in the army, obtained leave OF
absence and came to his home in this
city, bringing with him f3w &C pdrtt
afiidav!tS, upon the strength of which
he is endeavodng to deprive the white
PEOPLE of Texas of their only representa-
tive in the Council Chambers of the
nation. -..
lieutenant Grafton charges intimida
tien and ffaud in mlIy of the uotles,
but there is abundance of proof to show "
that the election was quiet and peace
ful. 1t was, moreover, held under mill
tary aus 1ices. An officer of the army
presided at every polling place. A
charge of fraud, therefore, is an jmpu.
tation upon the army officers who con
Quoted the election. In this cOnneC'
lion it may lie stated that the principal
witness for Lieutenant Grafton, who
was made collector of county for his
eltctIoneering services, has since be-
come q defaulter 10 the amount oi
Sl2 900, and has absconded. The Gov
ernor of Texas offers reward of $500
for his apprehension. Mr.. Conners
Union record is unimpeachable. He
was an officer in the Federal service
during the war, and was captain ia
the regular army when nominated for
Congress, but, unlike General Ames and
his modest contestant, Lieutenant Graf
ton. resigned his commission before the
election. He holds the certificate of
election, and there seems to be no rea
son, save one, why be should not be ad-
mitted to his seat. He is a Democrat,
and that has been sufficient in other
cases to exclude men from the seats TO
which they had been elected. 1t is
hardly possible, however, that even a
Radical Congress will lay down the un-
deviatipg rule that the single fact of a
mau being Democrat disqualifies him
from representing the people by whom
lie is sent to Washington.
