TO THE DEMOCRACY OF TEXAS,

The Democratic State Convention that as
sembled in Austin last January, after the
adoption of its platform, passed the follow
ing resolution: -
"Resolued, That the Central Executive
Committee be, and they are hereby in
atructed to take immediate steps to raise, by
joint stock or otherwise, fund, and at the
earliest possible time establish q central
organ to be under the control of committee
of three to be selected by the Central Com
mittee. Which resolution was adopted"
A meeting of the State Executive Com
mittee was held in the city of Austin subse-
quent to the adjournment of the Convention,
at which meeting the State Executive Com
mittee passed a resolution directing the four
resident members of the Central Executive
Committee in Austin and the Chairman to
carry out the resolution of the Convention
by the establishment of q Central Demo-
cratic Paper. -.a .-..- -
In accordance with the resolution Of the
Convention and of the Executive Committee
{ large, the undersigned report that they
have entered into arrangements with the
Statesman Publishing Company" to publish
Democratic newspaper in Austin to be
styled the DEMOCRATIC STATESMAN, which
paper will be sound in its support of Demo-
cratic Doctrine. Under the management Of
editors, counseling with a competent COM
nittee, the undersigned trust that the paper
will, in all respects, meet with the spproba-
tion and support of the Democracy of Texas.
We earnestly solicit, for. the interests OF
the party, that every member of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, and Democrats
at large, use their influence to extend the
circulation of the paper.

tleman of high standing and distin-
guished ability, we'll known through
out Texas, who, if honored with seat
in Congress-. viii exercise an important
influence on the legislation of the
country by the force of personal char
acter and talent.
Who is Edward Degener? A man
who has been tried aad found want,
ing, who has shown himself perfect
zero in the Congress of the United
States. Unknown to fame, with but
an imperfect knowledge of our politi-
cal institutions, he is not capable OF
representing any body-except him

An Outrage-state Police.

We regret to learn that DR.. James
A. Forbes was arrested in his sick bed
in Bastrop county, a day or two ago,
by four members of the so-ealled State
police, in an illegal and most outra-
geous manner. The Doctor, it appears,
was wanted as a witness in a habeas
corpus case pending before Judge Og.
den of the Supreme Court. He had,
he says, never been summoned as a
witness, or in any way disobeyed a
summons. He was in the first instance
seized by four armed police, and in the
most cruel and brutal manner dragged
to Austin and put in prison. When he
demanded to know by what authority
he was so treated, he was only cursed
and abused, and told that the badges
worn by these ruffians and the arms in
their hands was the authority for this
treatment. '-
We have known DR.. Forbes and his
family for many years, and that he is a
man of truth, honor and courage. We
know moreover, that he held the i'm.
portant position of medical director in
General Lees army in Virginia, with
credit. The Doctor states that three
of the arresting force were white men,
and were drunk, the fourth was q re-
gro and behaved with propriety, and he
believes prevented him from being
murdered outright by the drunken ruff
fans. The Doctor informs Us that he
has laid before the Governor a full
statement of the facts, and asked fol
such redress as may be in the power Of
the Executive. We sincerely hope the
Governor may learn from these facts
how shockingly the people are suffer,
ing from the outrages of this lawless
band ofcut throats, and blackguards and
quietly discontinue their depredations
If he does not, it will then be plain
that he desires to promote and sanction
the open violation of the laws of the
land, and the most sacred personal
rights of the people.
We also hope that the offenders
may be prosecuted and punished fol
this great outrage, to the full extent o.
the law, and we have no reason tc
doubt that such will be the result. The
people of Texas demand, and have g
right to expect this much. Will it b
denied even by Radical officials? We
hope not.

The OmcIaI Organ of the Rad.
IcaI Party In the Senate.

1t appears from the proceedings of
the Senate yesterday morning that the
Journal has ceased to command the
confidence of that branch of the Leg
islature.
The proscriptive course of that
journal, the mouth-piece of the Gov
ernor, and its insolent falsehoods, seem
to have disgusted many of its WhiIom
friends, and barely escaped decapita.
ton, as public printer, by a tie vote,
including the vote of the President.
The vote of the Senate on this occa-
sion certainly stamps the Journal as a
false and unscrupulous organ of slandel
and corruption. This is the deliber'

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1871-10-05

A correspondent of the Rural NesO
Yorker asked a neighbor how he dis
poses of his corn-stalks as he cuts
them-if he lays them down. No:
each man cuts FIVE rows at ''bout, -
setting it up around a standing hill
in the centre row, making the shock
as large as can be conveniently han
died with a pitchfork after it is
husked, and binding it with two rye
straw bands. He says he has tried
other modes, but found none supe-
riOr to this, all things considered. II
three men work together, one does
the tying. If there is a better mode
he wants to knowit. Let those of your
readers who think they have a more
economical way, state it.
