Political Quarrel in Texas.

The Republicans of Texas have bitter
quarrel on hand about the nomination for
Governor. The present Governor Davis
is q candidate for reelection, and he is vi,
oleOtly opposed by W. T. Clarke, post
master at Galveston, who is supposed to
represent the Administration. As is the
custom with this class Of Southern politi-
clans, they have appealed to the President
for arbitration. Governor Davis aud Post.
master Clarke have arrived here 90 their
way to Long Branch. Clarke asserts that
Davis has gone back on the party, while
Davis charges that Clarke has demoraIjzed
the negroes and neglected his duties as
postmaster. The proposed pardon Of the
Indian chiefs Big Tree and Snntanta en-
ters iu.o the contest. Davis has hereto
fore opposed the pardon ofthese murderers
while the Administration has favored it.
OF course, the large majority Of the PEG.
pie Of Texas oppose it, and arc with the
Governor on The question. Davis is very
confident Denomination even without the
support Of the Administration.
