The Radical Governor of Texas, Davis,
has assumed complete control of the whole
election machinery in that State, and is
sued the most despOtic orders. but the re-
volt among moderate Republicans is such
as to promise complete victory to the
Democratic and Conservative ticket in
October. The probability is that we shall
elect three of the four members of Con-
gress, and perhaps the entire delegation.
The Germans are disgusted with the con-
duct of the State authorities, and the
enormous taxation which Radical debt
of twenty millions, for which there is
nothing to show, has imposed. Pease,
Hamilton, and nearly all the leading Re-
publicaus of any character or standing.
refuse to support Davis and his corrupt
administration.

THE TRUNK HORROR.
The nOdz ef nc eirl In,.sn.lnea.


New York, August 29.-The body of
the young woman found IN trunk at the
Hundon River Depot has been recognized
as that of girl who boarded in house
on the corner of Wooster and Blocker
streets. A little research resulted IN the
discovery that sister of deceased lived in
Brooklyn, and had visited the dead girl.
From the description given by carman, it
was established that she was the woman
who hired the coupe and took the fatal
trunk to the depot. Officers were imne-
diately dispatched to Brooklyn. The adj
dress of the woman IN question was easily
found, but she had flown tWenty-four
hours previously. She was well known
where she lived, and thorough descrip-
tion of her was obtained, which was i'm
medintely telegraphed to Chicago, where
she Is supposed to have gone. Another
dispatch, and an urgent one, was sent from
police headquarters to Chicago this morn
ing. A notice came to Inspector Walling
to-day from the Eighteenth precint, that
an undertaken had called at the station
house and testified that a man called on
him q few DAYS ago, and wished him to
bury body which, he stated, was that of
his servant; also, that he did not care how
it was buried, but wished it done quick.
and that he only wanted hearse The
undertaken, VINO gives his name as James
F Doyle, and place of business No. 658
Second avenue, was then shown the Doc
tor, and Unidentified him as the man who
had called on him and wished 10. have the
body of his servant buried Doyle says
he asked the Doctor for a certificate and
the Doctor wanted to know if she could
not be buried without. Doyle also says
the Doctors manner was calculated to e3-
cite suspicion, as ne seemed fearful of eY-
cry sound. Doyle signed the above state
ment, and declared he was willing to tes-
tify in court at any time. An examina-
ton of the celler of Rosenzweig's house
has been made. In the northwest corner
was heap of dirt, from which exhaled
powerful oder. A few turns with the
spade, and the Sergeant brought some
thing to light creating an unbearable
stencil. It was found to be the chemise
of small woman, covered with blood.
A close examination revealed the terrible
fact that it had been torn down the back,
as if it had last clasped q dead body, and
that to strip it the persons in attendance
had to use force to get it on Another
search revealed quantity Of bloody cloth
ing, all Of which was carefully packed up
and taken to the Eighteenth precinE sta
ton house. 1'it1 u
