This gentleman seems ut present
a very prolific theme for vindictive
editorials and caustic paragraphs
from several Of our Democratic cX-
changes in various sections of the
State. An article in the Dallas Her.
aid suggesting him as Il candidate
for Congressman at large, has been
made the occasion of quite an ami
~atcd discussion, in which we have
heretofore had nothing to say.
We presume that no ono at all IA
miliar with our course in tho past
will accuse us of any special predi-
lection for the Ex-Governor, or any
understandable disposition to shield
him from mcrited ccnsurc. But
while we have been as severe upon
him as any Of our contemporaries,
we cannot see that present circum-
stances demand erjustify the style
OF spirit Of attacks that are being
made. Especially do we deprccatc
the icers and innucndocs with which
some arc accustomed to refer to his
course in the last Congressional elcc-
ton. Throck has his vul'
nelable points, but in our view this
is not one of them. He opposed
Capt Conner vchemently up to the
time of nomination. Had he not a
right to do it? But the instant Mr..
Conner became the nominee, Throcli.
morton acquiesced in the decision
ofthc party, and subsequently open
cd the campaign in behalf of the
Democratic candidate by meeting
Bob Taylor and Anthony Bryant
in discussion at Pilot Point. These
are the facts in the case, and upon
a calm, unimpassioncd consideration
Ofthem, we are constrained TO con-
TESS that so far from evinclng any
"treason to the Democratic party
they are the most credltable part
IF the OK Governors record. lis
assaiIants must adopt an entirely
different line of attack before they
can have our cooperation.
Throckmorton is not our choice
for Congress-, but our objections to
him have better foundation than
anything which can be deduced
from the last canvass, and are not
so tinctured with unrcasoning pref
udice as to make us oblivious of the
injustice done him in the present
instance. Teras Neus.

Editorial Notes.

The two clerks of the Sd Auditors Office
who made public the fact that President
Grant had been defaulter long time for
the snug little sum of 5000, have been
discharged from Office OF course. They
have no use for ouch men at Washington.
The fact is proven by Grants having late
ly paid the princiI al but not the interest
of the debt.
After all the great expenditure on our
Navy, it is said to be almost worthless.
Most of the ships built during the war,
are rotten from the use of rnseasoned tim
Der. Many more built in defiance Of the
well known laws of naval architecture,
have been found not SEA worthy, not ba l.
ancng WELL and not being able to carry
munitions and fuel sufficient, al ter loading
with guns and men. a great portion are
worthless and dead loss. The whole
| thing is disgracciul TO the country.
We see n statement in an exchange,
that they are making somewhere artiti-
cial milk. Not any .'or us, if you please.
There would seem 10 be no end to modern
inventions and TIE artificial is being pre-
farcl TO the natural in every thing, by a
large class of progrcssons,s. Beecher
has written an article for Bonner on the
superiority of wooden legs to natural
ones. En- Athcnian audience once decid-
ed that the imitation of pigs squealing
by man was superior to the sqnealing of
the actual pig itself, which was hid under
the competitors cloak. We suppose arli-
| fetal women will soon follow artificial
milk, and we shall hear TO more of "the
milk of human kindness"
The Senate has not yet taken up the
second Amesty Bill, passed ly the House.
Sumner has given notice that, whenever it
does, he will again move to tack his negro
amendment upon il. There is talk
among the friends of amnesty Of putting
it on one ofthe largest appropriation bills.
and thus secure it, or prevent the nppro-
priation.
The Connecticut Democracy, in Conven-
ion, lntcly adopted n new platform, sub
| stanlially the same as that of the liberal
Republicans Of M'ssouri. They nom'na-
ted the Ii on. Richard b. Hubbard for Gov
ernor.
The canvass is getting quite lively in
New Hampshire. The radicals are send
ing Wilson and others to help their cause
by speeches. They are authorized to tell
the people that Grant will throw over
board Leet ;and Stocking, and the other
rogues about the Custom House in New
| York. Why not do it instead Of talking
about it? So Casey was to be thrown
over, last summer, but he still sticks TO
the deck Of. the rotten craft.
The House Of Representatives has refus-
ed to admit the woman suffrage shriekers
within the hall TO plead their cause in SEES.
sion. But the majority against it was not
large, and they are encouraged, and say
they will yet succeed. There is no knowing
what they may promise the members to
get chance OF opening their mouths in
the Capitol.
