TEXAS.

The condition of certain portions of
this State is such that good Police is
sadly needed. The report of the Adju-
tant General of the State reveals an ap-
palling condition of things. His annu-
al report embodies record of crime,
showing that up to the first of April,
there were no less than thirteen humid
red and eighty seven criminals evading
arrest, and at large; and they are "mur-
derers, desperadoes horse thieves &c.
In this latter number are comprised
many desperadoes, the record of whose
crimes is perfectly appalling, and whose
continued freedom from the restraints
imposed by law, is shame upon the State.
These men have established reputation
for daring and disregard for law, which
has overawed the communities in which
they operate, and it is next to impossi-
BILE to procure information of their where
abouts. by which they may be captured,
for this reason. In Bestrop and Travis
counties regularly organized band of
horse thieves and murderers exists, whose
operations extend to and include all the
neighboring counties.
1t is even stated that this band is so
numerous as to be able to extend its OPP
erations from the Red river to the Rio
Grande, stealing horses in one locality
and forwarding them by members of the
band to another for sale. The members
of this band have their headquarters
within twenty miles of the capital of the
State, and steal horses and murder with
IMMUNITY, almost within hearing of the
Legislature. It is difficult to conceive
why is is that citizens of the infested 10
calities should remain quiet while these
offenses are being committed, unless they
are intimidated, as before stated. With
in the last two months it is believed that
at least two hundred horses have been
stolen in the locality mentioned.
This state of affairs exists to greater
or less extent throughout the entire
State. In one locality gang of horse
thieves was headed by minister of the
Gospel, who was in the habit of holding
protracted meetings in certain localities
While the congregation was engaged in
worship, at a given signal from the min
lister, the horse thieves would make a
descent, steal all the horses, and be off
before their presence was discovered.
And yet there is strenuous opposition
to the passage of an effective Police Law.
And this hostility springs from, and is
confined exclusively to the Democratic
party. The Adjutant General thus con-
cludes his letter
I'm the short space of letter it is i'm
possible to give you an adequate idea of
the present extent of outlawry in Texas,
although much has been done to repress
disorders and arrest crime and it is a
matter of deep regret to myself that law
abiding citizens should fail to throw their
influence in favor of the efforts made to
put down crime, simply because of poll
teal differences and preferences.

The following sketch of Gen. Washing
tons personal appearance is taken from a
letter written in New York in i77S, and
Published in the KeDtish Gazette, an Eng
lish paper:
Gen. Washington Is now Ia the forty
seventh year OF his age; be is tall, WELL
made man, rather large boned, and has a
tolerably genteel address; his features are
manly and bold; his eyes Of bluish cast,
and very lively; his hair OF deep brown
his face rather long and marked with the
smallpox; his complexion suhburnt and
without much color; and his counteance
sensible, composed and thoughtful. There
is remarkable air Of dignity about him,
with striking degree Of gracefulness he
has an excellent understanding, without
much quickness is strictly just, yigilant
ana generous; an arYectionate husband,
faithful friend, a father TO the deserving
soldier, gentleman in his manners; In
temper rather reserved n total stranger
to religious prejudices, which have so often
excited Christians oil one denomination to
cut the throats OF those of another; in his
morals, irreproaohable; he was never
known 70 exceed the bounds Of the most
rigid temperate. In word, all his
friends and acquaintance allow that no
one man ever eni,ed in his own person n
more perfect alliance of the virtues of a
philosopher with the talents Of a General.

RADICAL INGRATTTUDE.

James Redpath Of Boston, has an
nounced to the world that Mrs. John
Brown, widow Of the Brown whose
soul is marching on, is poor, aud COW
ing TO recent removal ofloeation, rem
dered necessary by circumstances. she
now needs temporary aid. A little
over 500 has been raised, but we
need 300 more TO enable her to sup
port herself comfortably till her next
crop comes in Ii is said Republics
are ungrateful. This is question.
But there is no doubt Of the fact that
Republicans aro ungrateful. The ex-
ceeding snaliness Of the souls Of the
Radicals Of this country is shown by
their treatment Of those Who by every
sentiment of charity and gratitude they
should hold in especial seueubr.nce
and thoughtfully care for. The
widow Of President Lincoln received at
their hands the smallest sum they could
in deccncy give her. The Radicals in
Congress made a merit of giving
a petty postofice in Illinois to
the daughter of Owen Loyejoy,
whose memory is considered the
special heritage of the Radical
party. And now comes an appeal for
one hundred dollars for the widow Of
John Brown, woman, who, if the pro
testations Of the Republican party in
regard to the memory of her husband
mean anything, should be placed far
above the hard necessity Of earning
her bread by the labor Of her hands
Words are cheap, and the memory Of
old John Brown has served the Repub
lican party many a good turn. Hi
widow must bea woman well advanced
in years. If the hearts that animate the
breasts of the Radicals Of this country
are not harder than the ground thil
woman tills, let them come forwart
and show by lifting her above want and
the necessity Of labor, that they have
at least, decent respect for the opin
ions Of the world.
