THK THING Is OvEn.


We mean the Dallas convention. It has
met, fumed, fused and expired. It's life
was short, and its work was a monument to
its memory, which win crumble away be
fore the chilly winds Of December. It is
nbthing more than another record Of Radi-
cAl duplicity, that system Of mean cunning,
for which the wire puIlera Of the party have
IAade themselves notorious among those
Bhom they cannot deceive. The action OF
the Dallas convention, managed as twas by
the Davis clique, shows the earnestncss
with which the party treats its main sup
porters. Let US see; there are sixty thou
sand negro voters IN the State, and at
the outside not over ten thousand
whites viii vote the Radical ticket.
Giving the entire negro vote TO the Radicals,
this gives them one white man to six negroes
to keep up the organization Of the party in
Texas. One white man to six negroes, and
the Radical ticket in the field without a
single negro uponiti And why is it, Isit
because thore is not a eoloFed- man in the
State who has the capacity for filing any OF
the positions for which nominations were
nader We know there are negroes in Texas
fully as able to fill these positions as the
men nominated, and it would be saying but
little for the negro race "a. assert that none
can be found among them who would not
also compare favorably with the nominees in
q
honesty and integrity. Then why, with
these sixty thousand cOlored ato ten
thousand white voters in the Radical
party did they not put even one Of the former
on the State tieketl Simply from the fact
that the white Radical hates the negro, and
has no further use for him than to further
his own ends. Davis with his ticket cannot
hope to succeed in the next election, and
when they are defeated, and TexGsisFetriey-
ed from RadicaEsm, they will then put on
their cry Of martyrdonf, and as long as the
present Cesar sits in the White House at
Washington they will beknoeking att the door
ready to recount their tale Of service, their
disappointments, and ask for the reward,

to in the end, and he poor negroes,
who have supported them to the last, that
such may be the finale, will still work for
their daily bread in Texas, with no claims
for soft places upon the Radical Federal
government. They will be beaten, and the
negro viii live to know, with almost all the
rest Of mankind, that E, j. Davis and his
white followers in Texas were the basest set
of men, politically an(y.morally, that ever
lived. ia ala.s hIg1ds aii .Ei.an+fl i4

We again call attention to the absolute
necessity Of registration, in view Of the
coming election, and the complete redemp-
tion of the State from Radical rule. No
man can vote unless registered, undnr the
new law. The present Constitution requires
registration-though, in our Judgment, use-
less with universal suffrage Il has tobc
done. The last Legislature did what Il
could to make this duty one OF easy per
Torrance. It costs nothing but little
time. Let no man neglect IT, No man,
who loves his State and country, win ne
glect it. The Democrat who fails in this
is unworthy Of the noble party he professes
to belong to, and deserves to be ruled and
taxed by the Radicals to the day Of his
death. Last year, we heard Democrats
say they would not register, because they
would then have TO serve on jurics. This
was no proper excuse then, and now, we
are glad to say, that this will avail them
nothing. They win be compelled to soryc
on juries, whether Registered or not. Iaerg
negro and wAite Hadical wiH register, and II
the Democrats do not, they may expect TO
be beaten in many localities, and they win
deserve to be. Come forward then, Demo.
cratic voters OF Texas, and show that you
are true men, ready and willing 70 perform
your whole duty first to register, and tlep
to vote.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF PUBLIC IN
STRUCTION. =-'.-'-'.9- -l'..'-.. -.


The North TeDaa, in mentioning its pref
erences for this Office, produces five names
in all, all of them. teachers. The Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction is no
more the heritage of school teachers thanit
is Of lawyers, doctors, farmers Or ,mechan-
les. Why it.i that so many Of this class Gt
seems to us about every other principal of. a
decent school in tlie state) have laid their
claims before the people we cannot un-
tlerstand. Such an incorrect tendency
should at once be arrested, and thought
given to the requisites for filling this
important position. Many men may have
proven themselves fine teachers, but why
this should befit them peculiarly to preside
over the school system of Texas we cannot
by any means understand. a successful
teacher might be found who would make a
much better Treasurer or Comptroller than
superintendent OF Public Instruction. He
might know very we'll how to train boys or
girls IN good behavior, Or teach Latin, at
Greek and Hebrew; he, might have the
whOleot the integral calculus an his brains,
and know how to pai7s. FIaaedise Just as
good as if he had been reared in the TuiIle-
ries; he might know as much about the
stars as Hersehell, and more about natural
creation than Humboldt, but with all these
polished attainmehts he might be utterly
unit to fill the Office in question. The
Superintendent is nothing more than the
presiding oiicerof the school department,
and his duty is simply to administer the
law with ability. As to text books it is
well known that there is the greatest variety
among teachers in regard to their merits,
and selections he might make would proba-
bly, suit not q third Of the other teachers in
the State, As to theregulation Of schools,
this depends upon the Sptness of their indi.

might be at the head Of the department.

vert poor teachers in charge iof

q gentleman of application and of good adj
ministrative ability, aud if these belong
prominently to teachers, thenJit maybe

to keep any error from taking root in regard
to this question. We wantla good officer,
and such an one is as aptto be found in one
class or profession as in another. Let us
have an able Administrative officer, and if a
teacher, doctor or farmer, IS found who is
we'll fitted for the position, al right. But
let US at once abandon the falacious idea,

ArrrNrIoN A. S,r Is called to the cnrd Of Geor

ATTENTION is called to the card of George
B, zimpelman, in which he refers to certain
publications made in the Journal, Of the
nineteenth instant, and brands the writer as
a falsifer These charges the public know
full well are false, and such articles in the
Journal, certainly lead no one to believe in
them. They are made against good and
efficient officer, who it is well known has
the confidence of thepeople of this county,
and who have lately declared so, almost
unanimously. The Journal scribbler may
think it funny to pen such articles, but We
predict that such fun if repeated viii not
be altogether on one side.

The government at Washington has again

Federation, to hereafter desist from sending
natnraIized German citizens to that country
as cOnsuls or diplomatic agents. It is
claimed that this class of officers exert too
great an influence upon the minds Of the
people in favor Of immigrating to the
United States. The subject Of emigration
to this country is absorbing the attention Of
the German government Ills telling won
