E& Davis, the Radical Gov
ernor of Texas, is preparing to
hold power by the strong hand of
mslitary force. For that pur.
pose q bill has been introduced In
to the Legislature of the State
which provides for what is called
State police to consist of one
chief, four captains, eight lieuten'
ants, sixteen sergeants and two
hundred and fifty privates, all
mustered into service for four
years. They are to be armed,
mounted and uniformed out of
the State Treasury, and are en-
powered "to operate in any part
of the State independent of ali
other authority; to be used as de-
tectives when required, and to be
entitled to all rewards offered fol
offenders" This is snug party
of men for electioneering purpos'
es, and they will be SO used by

A Clear Case.

The Cincinnati Gazette states the
case clearly. 1t says: "The rejec-
ton of Whittemore by the House
will have grave consequences.
1t will be a reflection upon Whit
temore's constituency, who hav'
ing declared that he is good e.
nongh representative for them,
the House by its action in deny
ing Whittemore admission, thus
declares that the constituency are
not qualified to vote intelligently
! 1t will be remembered that the
negroes are Whittemore's con
stituents. This then is nothing
more nor less than admission by
the highest Radical authority,
the very power that passed the
Fifteenth Amendment, that the

Der from South Carolina, evident
ly annoys the more respectable
republican members Of the House.
He accepted q bride to procure q
cadetship, and insisted that, as be
had expended the money to aid
the republican party, he ought to
escape punishment. Instead of
Iexpelling him from his seat, the
republican majority permitted
him to resign. His negro con.
stituents in South Carolina, ca
joled by his artful statements
and by the favor with which hil
vile kissed the negro babes and
their mothers, reelected this mar
Whittemore. All of which I'm
pleasantness arises from the fac
that the elective franchise hal
been bestowed upon a class of PEG

easily imposed upon. The lat

Grant and his Cabinet.

Acknowledgement Hoar, at WASH
ington, has resigned his official po-
sition. Amos T. Alderman, of
Georgia, has been selected to sue
coed him by the President. Pres
ident Grant is unquestionably one
of the most imbecile executives
ever selected to fill the White
House but, unlike most other
imbeciles, he has not even the
good sense to surround himself
with capable and popular "consti
tutional advisers" His cabinet
is hardly second-rate, and; as a
statesman, he has no status at all,
himself. 1t is q great misfortune
for US that, at a time like this,
our country should be so destitute
of political ability in high places,
All the eminent men whom the
nation SO long looked upon as fit
ted for rulers in this republic, have
passed away; and among those
left behind, how few can we dis
cover that we conscientiously be-
lieYe to be calculated to sustain
the dignity of our government
with credit to themselves and
their countrymenl General Grant
was net chosen for the Presidency
on account of any peculiar fitness
for the place, because he never
had any. A feeling of popular
gratitude placed him where he il
and as many painful blunders, (tc
use q mild expression, never
were made by any of his prede
cessors. He has done anything
but elevate the United States il
the opinion of the world; and bis
reelection will be due, (shoulC
he be elected again. not to any
merit of his as the head of the ma
ton, but to the tuallack, at thil
moment, of real statesmen in ou
midst in whom the people hav'
confidence.

10 Our friend, Hon. 10. G..
Carrigan, is a candidate for Con-
gress. Here, where his name is q
household word, a commendatory
notice is not necessary, and we,
therefore, copy the following only
for the purpose of showing the es.
timation in which he is held a.
broad. The Nashville Banner of
last Saturday says:
The Hon. 10. G. Carrigan, of
Lincoln, is announced elsewhere
in the BANNER of this morning fol
Congress from the Fourth Congress
sional district. 1t is no disparage
ment to the merits or claims of
his competitors to testify to his
entire fitness for the position. If
the entire delegation from our
State to the next Congress is made
up of as good men, the people of
Tennessee would have little cause
in the future, we are satisfied, tc
regret the election. OF the rising
young men of Tennessee, who are
progressive live mep, in the full.
est sense, we know of none who
more fully comes up to the de.
mands of the hour. He was a
genuine Conservative representa-
tive of bis constituents in the
State Senate, when the cause of
Conservatism had but few cham
pions authorized to speak for it in
the halls of legislation. He was
an efficient, patient, pains-takine
member, and did credit to the con
stituency that elected him.
