Indictment of Gov. Davis.

The Democratic papers are prema-
turely jubilant over the Indictment of
Governor Davis, of Texas, by fed
eral grand jury for having given Col.
Clarke a certificate of election instead
of Col. Giddings. This thing will dis
til down to a political trick, and Gov.
Davis will come out of the trial un-
harmed. He gave the certificate on
the proper returns, and not upon the
put up papers that the returning Off
GERS made out in favor of Giddings.
Besides, he taught the uproarious
Texans lesson that they needed, to
wit: that they could not elect their
candidates by driving the negroes
from the polls, as they did in many
instances. When the Democrats learn
that there is corrective for the frauds
and intimidations which they pre-
sumo to practice upon the Republicans
by ku-kluxing the colored people,
they will not take the trouble of per-
verting the ballot-box in that way.
Gov. Davis pursued an equitable
course in giving the certificate of cleo
ton to the candidate that was beaten
by fraud and violence; and if this
rule could be enforced in every in
stance, fraud and violence would soon
become less common than they are.
We remember very distinctly that
when the Democrats in New Orleans
carried all the elections by cheating
at the ballot-box the Wings combined
with the good citizens of the city to
beat them with sticks until they stop
ped their rascality. The Know Moth
ing party originated out of these fraud
ulent practices on the part of the DEM
ocracy, and it was very popular un-
til it allowed a set of bullies to per-
vert its power in the same way that
the Democrats had abused theirs. Gov.
Davis checkmated fraud that Gid
ding's friends had put upon the ballot
in Texas, and for so doing Giddings'
friends have secured his Indictment
by a federal grand jury. 1t is a
mere political trick got up in the in
terest of political trickster of the
worst sort, and it will fail, as it ought
to do, of affecting Governor Davis
either in his tenure of office or with
the people that elected him.-Statt

Mineral Discoveries in Texas.
[From the Houston (Texas) Times.l

TFrom the Houston (Texas) Times
Hardly day passes but brings adj
ditional evidence of the mineral
wealth of our State. We have had
exhibited to us sample of coal from
the outcroppings of large and ex-
tensive vein located within a short
distance fone of the leading railroads,
and in close proximity to the city of
Houston. From the appearance OF
the specimen it is evident that when
the roofing is reached the vein will be
found to Le either pure camel or
splint coal.
1t evidently possesses large
amount of volatile matter and very
little organic substance, which viii
render it valuable for steam and other
purposes. We are also informed that
in the same locality there is found a
superior quality of iron ore.
These deposits of both coal and
iron ore seem to be of the same char
acter as those found in the valley OF
the Kanawha, West Virginia, where
experience has demonstrated that the
best quality of iron can be manufac-
tured without the process of reducing
the coal TO coke, which promises te
produce revolution in the. produe-
ton of iron by reducing its cost one
half.
This discovery does not surprise
us, for we have long believed that oul
State would prove rich in mineral re-
sources yet until their actual discov.
ery we could hardly believe nature
had been SO bountiful in the bestowa
of her choicest gift as to place them 81
within our reach, and in a combina
ton most to be desired.
We look for rapid DEVELOPMENT il

"Never mind" said the butcher, un-
der whose blood d-stained coat beat a
feeling heart, "you make me a fine
waltz for my marriage ball, and l will

gifted Mozart. Meat for year, did

tradesman "no one hundred du-
cats you shall have for such a waltz,
but I want it with trumpets and horns
and fiddles-and soon, too" In one
hour the unrivaled "Oxen Waltz

the section where these minerals are
found, and can now almost see tile
smoke and red flames gushing from
the ehimneys of blast furnaces erected
on the premises, and behold the mol
ten metal running from their cupo-
las, and hundreds of energetic labor
ers at work contributing by their
labor, both to the wealth of the State
and to the comfort and happiness of
numerous families.
This development also is of the
greatest Importance to our city; it
will give US cheap fuel for our homes,
and increase greatly our manufactur-
ing interest; which, except the culti-
vation of the soil, is the only source
of wealth, and the basis of the growth
of cities.

The vote in the House of Commons
on the proposition to censnre the
Gladstone Ministry is suggestive of
remarkable change in public opinion
in England. A fortnight previous to
the opening of Parliament, the Tory
leaders had resolved to leave the Con-
servatiye reaction to gather force, and
make no decisive effort to defeat the
Ministry during this session. So
strong, however, has been the discon-
tent of various advanced Liberals, on
account of the policy of the Govern
ment on the Education Question,
and, apparently of other of his former
supporters, on account of his position
toward America, that the Tories have
been encouraged promptly to engage
in a contest for power. Although the
proposition to eensure the Govern
lnent has been rejected, it was with a
notable decrease of the majority with
which they have usually been sup
ported. On Monday night, out of 500
votes, the Government had majority
of only % while last session, when
the Army bill was under considera-
ton, the Government, out of 5I9, had
a majority of So votes and on the
Ballot bill, in June last, the Govern
ment was sustained by proportion
ate majority of "a out of 554 votes
cast. This steadily decreasing ma
jority is certainly suggestive of the
approaching downfall of the Gladstone
| Ministry. y. Tribune.

New Hampshire---C Connecticut.
[From the New York Tribune.l

The Granite State elects her State
officers and Legislature ON Tuesday,
March 18th; Connecticut does like
wise on Monday, April 1st. These
being the only State Elections that
occur before August, while each of
these States is nicely balanced in pol
itics, they are naturally regarded with
lively interest by politicians through
out the Union. New Hampshire was
in 1871 carried by the Democrats for
the first time since 1854 while Con-
neeticut, which had gone Democratic
in 1870, went Republican by very
small majority. 1t is obvious that the
vote in either State-unless reduced
by inclement weather-will be much
heavier this Spring than last, and that
the result in either is very doubtful.
We notice that the wire workers of
either party are under concern of mind
for the fate of the other; DEM
ocrats insisting that o Republican
triumph will insure the renomi-
nation of Gen. Grant, while Republi-
cans retort that Democratic gains now
will insure the nomination of JEFF.
Davis and Breckinridge or Beaure-
gard for President and Vice. President
by the exultant Democracy. We ap-
prehend that the votes OF the masses
will be but slightly affected by these
predictions.
The terms of Orris s. Ferry and
James w. Patterson, u. S. Senators
from Connecticut and New Hampshire
respectively, expire with the present
Congress, and their seats will be filed
for six years ensuing by the Legisla-
lures about to be chosen. These gen.
tlemen had seen little public service
out of their respective States prior to
their election to the Senate, wherein
they have chosen not to be persistent
speakers, while Mr.. Ferry has suffered
| from chronic ill health. The name of
neither OF them has thus been made
"To fill the speaking-trump of sounding
| Fame"
so that some intelligent readers may
not already know that two better Sem
ators than Messrs. Ferry and Patter-
son are hard to find. There may not
be Forty Thieves in the present Sem
ate, but there are atleast twenty more
than there should be and venality is
there so common that even the pure are
uniustly suspected yet no one ever
suspected or insinuated that either
Ferry or Patterson has made or sought
to make dollar corruptly. Capable,
modest, independent, and sternly
conscientious, their States will be for
tunate if able to replace them by sue
eessors equally stainless and worthy

We earnestly hope that the long
protracted New Orleans struggle is
not to be transferred to Washington,
as reported but the arrival thither Of
Collector Casey and Marshal Packard,
the body and brains of the conspiracy,
indicates such move. If the Presi-
dent were half as prompt to remedy
abuses as the admirers of General Or
derc claim, neither Mr.. Casey nor Mr..
Packard would have any official pre-
fix to their names by this time.-N

DIFFERENCE IN WoMEN.-There is
nothing more distinctive among wo-
men than the difference of relative
age among them. Two women of the
same number of years will be sub
stantially of different epochs of life,-
the one wearied in mind, faded in
person, deadened in sympathy; the
other fresh and yoang, both in face
and feeling, with sympathies as broad
and keen as they were in her first
youth and perhaps more so; still as
easy to be amused, as ready to love,
and as quick to learn as when she
first emerged from the school-room.
The one you involuntary suspect of
undertaking her age by half a dozen
wears or more, WHEN she tells you she
Is only fortyi the other makes you
wonder if she has aot overstated hers
by just as much when she laughingly
confesses to the same age, The one
is an old woman, who seems as if she
never had been Young; the other only
girl, who seems as if she never
would grow old; and nothing is equal
between them but the number of days
each has lived.

Horace Greeley says that rntabagas
are not Indigenous to Western farms.
A Durham pig can root baga in
about two minutes. They grow best
on a sandy loan, especially the red
haired ruta, which is accustomed to
sea-weed anG intense cold. In noun
famous countries they grow fast and
are principally used to fatten pea fowls
and domestic quadramana. In plant
ing, Singer sewing machine is as
good as any, though an iron-tooth
rake will be found serviceable. Plant
in rows and prune once a month with
a broad-ax. Be careful that you
don't make mistake and get turnip

The proprietors ofthe Richmond street
cars have at last concluded to bow to
the inevitable, and admit colored men
to equal privileges on all their cars.
The action was voluntarily decided
upon at a meeting of stockholders,
but it is quietly limited that certain
judgments lately obtainedin the courts
by elected colored passengers have
had some effects III bringing about
this change of feeling toward the here
