MONEY PAY FOR DOMESTIC DIS
HONOR

We read in The Northern papcrs'ul suit
brought by Thomas W. Field, superinten-
dent Of public schools in the city Of Brook
lyn, against Thomas Kinsella editor Of the
Brooklyn Ei,gle and ex-member of Congress,
to obtain damages for the alleged seduction
of the plaintiffs wife. Fifty thousand dol
lars is the sum claimed for this disturbance
done the domestic relations. 1t is hard for
us to understand how any man can put Il
money estimate to his own dishonor VIII
the recovery of the amount stated be full
and ample satisfaction for the injury in
fiicted: We suppose this will satisfy the
aggrieved party, or he would not thus have
resorted to his legal remedy. But there is
something about this publicity and esti-
mated damage that is very revolving
to our feelings. We know such suits
have been tolerated in Great Britain
for long time, and we are far from
recommending bloody revenge, because
in most cases we believe the fault to be
more the woman's than the mans, yet we
cannot help thinking that this resort to the
law, to recover a moneyed consideration for
such an offense, is not to be commended
1t is true that the offender may deserve the
punishment applied to his pocket, as well
as other punishment of different nature,
but there is something degrading and re-
pulsive in the idea of man receiving
money for a wrong done him of this deli
cate character. 1t seems to us, if he can
feel that any amount of money, even fifty
thousand dollars, can be a satisfaction and
a balm to his wounded sensibilitieS, he has
deserved all the shame and disgrace which
have fallen on him. True, the crime is all the
same, but there is another way of reaching
it. Adultery, in all the States, is punisha-
BILE by indictment, conviction and term in
the penitentiary. That is the proper mode
of proceeding. We are happy and proud
to say that such suits arc not brought in the
'barbarous South.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1873-12-11
CAN IN BE TRUE

1t is currently reported on our streets that
Governor Davis and other Radical Office
holders intend to take the ground that the
late election was illegal, because not held
for four days. But this can hardly be, so
far as Davis is concerned. He is precluded
from attempting anything of the kind by
his own deliberate act The act, regulating
elections, which contains the clause fixing
one day for holding the election, was ap-
proved by him, showing that he had then
no doubts of its constitutionality. If he
had believed that the Constitution impera-
lively required four days, how could he,
having taken an oath to maintain the Con-
stitution, sign the bill with his approval?
Any one can satisfy himself on this point
by reference to the law, which may be
found, section 12, page %, general laws of
Texas. The section reads as follows:
SEC. -. That all the elections in this
State shall be held for one day only at each
election, and the polls shall be open on that
day from o'clock \. NJ. to o'clock z. NJ.
BY turning to the end of the law, on page
thirty, the approval of Governor Davis may
be seen. Now the Governor would cut a
nice figure, indeed, by attempting to take
advantage of his own ignorance or willful
wrong. Will he say that when he approved
the law, he was not aware of the constitu-
tional provision! Or is he ready to
admit that he deliberately violated
the Constitution to play off trick
on the Democracy! These are the
horns of the dilemma on which he is trans
fixed. Our word for it, the Governor will
not move in this matter If he has, for Il
moment, thought of such an expedient, he
will reconsider and abandon it. 1t would
make him still more notorious and infamous
than he already is. Besides, We understand
it is a matter of proof that Governor Davis
pledged himself, if not reelected by the
people of Texas, to resign his office and not
attempt to hold ON up to the time to which
he claims the office runs. Yet it is said that
President Grant has been telegraphed on
the subject, showing that some one is Ounce
or knave enough to entertain the idea Of
resistance to the declared VIII of the people
of Texas. -

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE-
WHEN WILL COKE BE INAU-
GURATED.

We have been often asked 10y persons who
have not looked into the matter, when the
next Legislature, Just elected, will meet,
and when the new Governor will be inau-
gurated We have examined the Constitu-
tion and the law in relation thereto, and we
have the opinions Of the ablest lawyers in
this city, and we answer, the Legislature
will meet on the second Tuesdayin January
next and ON the Thursday following Judge
Coke will be inaugunted aud become the
Governor Of Texas. The act approved by
Governor Davis July -, iS7e, to be found
on page thirty-fvc OF the General Laws,
fixes the time of meeting, and the Consti-
tuition says that the Governor shall be inau-
gurated on Thursday afterwards, or as soon
thereafter Us practicable. tScc page II Of
the Constitution) The Constitution fixes
the Governors term Of Office at four years,
and the election declaration which accom-
panics it, and which has the same binding
effect as the Constitution itself, declares that
the officers elected under it shall hold for
the term prescribed, beginning from the
day Of their election aud until their success
sors are elected and qualified. The first
election was ordered by the convention on
the first Monday in July. 1869, but it was
put off hy Gen. Reynolds, then military
Governor, 10 whom was iatrusted the hold
ing thereof, until the last day Of November,
1869, when It Wa held Tor four days. ter
minating on the third day OF December,
1862 Il follows, thcrclorc, that the term
Of Governor Davis aud all the State officers
expired on the third Of December past, and
that they are holding now only until their
successors arc duly qualified. This was the
view taken by tho committee appointed by
the Democratic State Convention last year
at Corsieana, which committee was com
posed of the very ablest lawyers Of the
Statc, Judge Moorc. Judge coke. AIaior
West, Major Walton aud Others. ana i IS
undoubtedly the connect one. Nc arc auero
that Governor DAVIS claims ira. his
term of oficc under the Constitution
did not commence until the - Of
April when the Constitution was accepted
By the congrcss of the Unilcd States

s,itution by the Congress, its force and ef-
feet went back 10 the time Of its adoption hy
the people Of Texas, and the election then
held by virtue of the declaration and Davis
and others can only hold their Offices from
the day Of their election for the term of four
years Any other construction would ena-
bic them to hold Office for a longer term
than that prescribed by the Constitution, and
introduce perpetual confusion. The plea
that they were holding office by the military
authority, after their election, until the ac-
ceptance of the Constitution 10y Congress is
utterly untenable, and they can show no
military commissions authorizing such hold
ings. They went into Office and exercised
the duties thereof by virtue of their cleo
tion by the people, and they cannot hold
beyond their Constitutional terms, except
until their successors are qualified. The
question is too clear for any extended argu-
ment. 1t rests on plain statement of the
Constitution and laws of Texas. The merit

The press, be it Democratic or Republi-
can, has higher mission than that of fer
menting discOrd and bad blood on the wal
issues of 81 and '65.-Stdte Journal.
Why, then, did you strive to do this
throughout the late canvass2 From the
beginning to the end, your whole endeavor
was to revive the ''discord and bad blood
of the past, which you now deprecate The
columns of the Jo,onal were filed with
allusions to the heart-brcaking of Sam.
Houston, the assassinations by Coke and
others, the conscriptions and murder OF
Union men, and everything else 1t could
invent to stir up and lnflame the blood OF
the people. And now, when everything
has failed, end all its nefarious schemes
have come to nought; it whines like a
whipped spaniel

SINCE the election we learn that several
clerks in the Land Office have been dis
missed on the suspicion that they voted the
Democratic ticket. This is very small
thing in Mr.. Kuechler, but then Mr. Kuech-
Ter is Il very small man. 1t shows the mean
ness of the Radical spirit. First, clerks were
discharged at the Capitol for not paying up
the assessment for carrying on the canvass,
buying up newspapers and paying for adj
vertisements, etc, and now, when the cleo
tion is over, they are kicked out for exer-
cising the right of suffrage. What a foul
thing Radicalism is. Well, thank heaven,
its reign is nearly over in Texas.

WE are glad to see by the telegraph that
the regular Democracy of Mobile carried
the city election by handsome majority,
Notwithstanding the opposition of the Mo
bile Ne,cS, which advocated Il mongrel peo-
pies party, so-called. These combinations
of Radicals and dissatisfied Democrats,
should be discouraged and defeated every
where in the South. They arc full of mis-
chief. The Democratic party is all sufi-
cient for a rallying point. The men, who
profess to dislike Radicalism and still alb
hor and fight against Democracy, arc not the
right sort. They love the Radical doctrines
though they have fallen out with the Radi-
cal party. If their conversions were sincere
and they had really undergone d change,
there would be nothing TO hinder their act
ing with the Democratic party.
