The RADICAL Pow Wow.-We attended the
Radical pOw-wow at Buaas Hall Saturday
evening, for a short time
The Secretary of State, Mr. Newcomb, alias
Jimmy Lowdown, was holding forth when we
arrived, and Barren Degener was trying to
speak good English when we left The Sec
Rotary has never been distinguished as an
orator, and made rather lame effort on this
occasion. Charges against the city govern
ment of New York, taken from Radical
journals, accusing the Tammauy Ring of
stealing from New York city, according to Mr..
NeWcOmb'S logic, justifes Radical stealing
and peculation in Texas.
Barren Degener was as usual barren and
seemed confused-following after Newcomb,
he no doubt thought of the New Brauufels
platform, and his heart damned Jimmy for
fixing him on it. Judges of such things, who
have heard him before, pronounced his effort
unusually barren.
Mac Anderson also spoke and read the pri-
vate letter of John Hancock to the audience
Mac seemed to be proud of the letter and
read 1t eXultingly, but heard several GENTLE
men remark, "the poor fellow glories in his
own infamyI Instead of exulting in such a
breach of confidence, his cheeks should be
tinged with the blush of shame ~
A few Democrats attended the meeting
from curiosity, but the sable colored sons
and daughters of OdOri(erous Africa, COM
posed the bulk of the audience.
Mrs. Gov. Davis was present.

PoPPTNGCORN.

+. And there they sat q popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter;
John Stiles as stout as any OF,
And Susan fat ss butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn
And rAked and stirred the IRE,
And talked of different kinds Of Gaze,
And hitched their chsirS up higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
Then John he took the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
As sauce pans made of copper;
And then they shelled and popped and ate,
All kinds Of fun q poking,
And he haw-hawed at his remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped and still they ate,
Johns mouth was like hopper,
And stirred the FIRE and sprinkled salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought,
The corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, "The corn's Airel
Why, Susan, what's the natter"
Sad she, "John Stiles, it's one o'clock,
You'll die of indigestion;
Pm sick of all this popping corn;
Whysdon't you pop the question:

Tyranny.

Editor Of Democratic Statesman
Section I'd Of Article Sd, of the Constitu-
ton, reads IS follows: "Electors in all cases
shall be privileged from arrest during their
attendance at election, and going to and re-
turning from the same, except in cases of
treason, felony or breach of the peace"
The question now arises, as to
whether Governor Davis has ever
seen the above quotation from the
Constitution, for the carrying out
and execution of which he has taken
a solemn o1th before Almighty God.
If he has, why then comment is un-
necessary, for that would make it
clear to the minds of the most obtuse,
that he is tyrant, a usurper and a
venal partisan, who would sink the
aOhOle countryif it were necessary, to
carry out his damnable purposes.
The abominable emanation from
the biased brain of his Excellency,
denominsted ''the Election Order"
shows a fixed and diabolical purpose
to commit untold and base frauds in
the management of the election in
order to perpetuate Radical rule, that
he and his pimps may dOmineer and
tyrannize over the people of this once
happy land, or it shows vast amount
of inexcusable ignorance of what is
contained in the fundamental law of
the land. If a private individual
were guilty of such gross violations
of his solemn asseverations, he would
be deemed a perjured villain and a
fit subject for the penitentiary.
l know Of but one thing that will
settle Davis down, and that is i'm
parchment, which is as certain to
come as the DemocRtic party shall
be successful. SILEX.

Next October the new postal treaty goes
into effect between this country and Great
Britain, by means of which postal orders can
be purchased in this country payable in Eng
land. Orders for any amount under twenty
five dollars will cost twenty FIVE cents 10 ad-
dition to the amount called for. This an
nouncement will be read with pleasure by
a large number of our. citizens, as this
arrangement will secure the safe transmission
of small sums of money. A similar treaty
should be cOnsummated with the leading
European Governments, especially Germany
and France. III.
