Texas Election.

We copy these paragraphs from the
Houston Union:
To allow the frauds and intimida-
ton of the Democracy which prevailed
in this election to go unpublished, is
compromising with crime, and unless
the Republican party acts promptly
and decisiyely with these malefactors,
it must not be surprised to find cer-
tain measure of censure attached to
itself.
Allegations of fraud can be made
and substantiated against the Democ-
racy in every county throughout the
Third District, and the same, we
believe, can be affirmed of the other
districts. This, of course, will debar
the Governor from giving certificates
of election to any of the Democratic
candidates, except, perhaps, in the
case of the Second District, which has
always been Democratic.

If the New Orleans Patriot pos
sessed the least regard for truth or
decency, it would drop from its
@'Grounds of Impeachment" the items
which were portion of Wickliffe's
charges against Governor Warmoth,
and also the item which intimates
that the Governor demanded a con-
sideration for signing the Nicolson
Pavement bill. They are all SANDERS,
and have been proved such beyond
question.

The mail steamer Wade Hampton
has discontinued her semi-weekly
trips to Natchez, and now makes but
one trip each week, running, how
ever, as far up as Vicksburg. In order
to prevent this change from interfering
with the semi-weekly delivery of the
mail on the Bayou Sara Route, the
Frank Pargoud has entered the Vicks-
burg trade in conjunction with the
Hampton; and now the Hampton
leaves New Orleans with the Monday
nights mail, runs up the river until
she meets the Pargoud, then the boats
exchange officers, the mail agent en-
banks to the Pargoud, and each craft
goes on its way, the Hampton to Vicks-
burg and the Pargoud to New Orleans.
delivering the down mails on the way.
The Pargoud leaves New Orleans
Friday evening, with the regular Fri
day mail, and the same formula is
gone through with when she meets
Hampton. As long as this arrange
ment does not interfere with the mail
service we are perfectly satisfied that
it shall be continued, and we sincerely
hope that it may prove of great
pecuniary benefit to the gentlemanly
captains, Tobin and Goddin, who
walk the decks of the two splendid
steamers Frank Pargoud and Wade
Hampton.

The New Orleans Magnolia, owned
and edited by Mrs. A. NJ. C. Massena,
comes to hand this week enlarged
and much improved geographically
and otherwise. Among the other
wises,n may be mentioned the absence
of abuse of Governor Warmoth from
its columns. 1t promises henceforth
to be an independent journal, sub
seryient to no party clique, but a
" free lance devoted to the best
interests of the State. We are sin
cerely glad the lady who presides
over the destinies of the Magnolia
has at last awoke to q sense of the
wrong she was committing in abusing
the Governor of the State and his
friends, and we welcome the Magnolia
in its new dress and new journalistic
path with hearty goodwill and
many wishes for its future success.

The Red Rirer Ne,rs is endeayoring

The Red River Neirs is endeavOring
to manufacture an immense amount
of capital out OF the circumstance OF
the Abbeville Independent hosting the
name of Governor Warmoth for Vice
President in conjunction with that of
A. H. Stephens for President. The
Independent swindle has been exposed,
Mr.. Nears, and you will fail in your
frantic endeavors to prove Governor
Warmeth Democrat because little
abortion like the Independent, begat in
trickery and political malice, chooses
to- flaunt his name at the head of
its columns in company with that
of Alex. Stephens.

OBADIAH JONES.

A singular accident happened the
other day in the streets of London.
1t appears that a huge steam roller
was IN Pail Mall, on its way to ST.
James Park, to be used on some paw
ing work. At twelve o'clock the dii-
yer of the engine concluded to go and
get his dinner. He, therefore, shut off
steam, and left the engine standing
near statue in front of the Pail Mall
Restaurant. A crowd of people soon
gathered around including some mis-
chieyous boys, one of whom got on
the engine, and managed in some way
to start it. This done, the lad ran
away. The locomotive, to the dismay
of the bystanders, started off, at first
slowly, but continually increasing it's
speed, and presently spread conster-
nation all around. Its first direction
was for the statue, which it would
probably have overthrow if not de-
molished, but when close up to it, the
engine turned capriciously, almost at
right angle, went straight across the
street, and into the shop of Mr. Thomp-
son, Photographic colorist. It's en-
trance was effected by the window,
which was totally smashed, and not
only this, but the heavy stone facade
underneath the glass was also shat
tered. Several ladies standing in front
of the window were slightly hurt, and
one gentleman seriously. Two Other
ladies tainted in the crowd, and being
trampled under foot, received bad
although not dangerous injuries. The
devastation committed by the unruly
machine in the window, which wa.
full of pitures and fragile articles, il
said to have been indescribable, anG
it is easy to believe that bull in {
china shop could have been nothiue
to it.

1t is frightful thing to cOntem-
plate, that many reputable men
among us are privy to the damnable
outrages being perpetrated over tie
State, by their active emissaries, the
Ku-Klux. This mnrderous class has
upwards of five hundred thousand
members throughout the Southern
States, and at any time, by day or
night, a. Republican is liable to be
done for. It is the Governments
duty to take hold of this matter at
once, and place its power for evil
upon free people, beyond any posi-
bility of commission.

We welcome to our exchange list
the Donaldsonville Chief, published
at Donaldsonville, La, by L. E. Ben

The paper is so new, clean and nice
that its proper place would seem to
be on a Lady's centre table rather
than in an Editors den! We never
saw Bro. Bentley, but we will wager

such well edited, popular journal,
that we cannot conceal a flush of
pride at the following handsome COM

not only neatly and clearly printed,
but is edited with ability which is sell
dom displayed by an editor as young

idle talk when we express a desire
that the Chief may prove perma-
nent success.
