Mr.. GREELEY IN TExAs.-The latest
and one Of the most ingenious exhibitions
of weakness of self righteousness is in
the columns of Galveston paper. Mr..
Horace Greeley has been invited and has
accepted the invitation to deliver an ad-
dress at the Texas State fair next month.
This Galveston journal recognizing the
peculiar circumstances of the case, sets
forth at some length and without any
mitigation Mr.. Greeley's long, powerful
and unrelenting hostility to the favorite
institutions and the governing ideas of
Texas society, and dwells on the point
that "his journal is fighting us now; it's
pages are full of horrid stories that we
know to be false; it is 10 us daily griev-
ance,"-but declares that nevertheless he
will be an honored guest and his progress
through the State will be constant ova-
ton. The invitation sis tribute of
Texas to honest journalism" This is a
fair and commendable frame of mind /;
but when the editor had solved in his
ethics the serious question asked of him.
self, "Why do we invite hin2 ?" he was
not content. There was good chance to
supplement this indirect suggestion of
Texan virtue by bold and proud affirma-
ton of it, and the temptation was not re-
sisted. Read now the vindication of Texas
aud the Texan character in the editors
own language
"Texas knows how to respect honesty.
It is her peculiar virtue. She may be re-
vengeful. she may be vindictive her
hands may have been stained with blood,
but never with dirt. A Texan, perchance,
may kill, but he will not steal. He may
forget the sixth commandment, but he
will remember the eighth"
1t is not necessary to take for granted
the assertion that Texans, as q matter of
fact, will not lie or steal, in order to ap-
preciate the najoete of the assumption
that relatively to these crimes murder is
trivial fault
