Texas has gone Democratic all over,
making gain over the majority Of
last year Of say from ten to fifteen,
thousand.
The last Legislature of:that State did
away with the common school system
constituting Texas an anamoly among
her sister States and disgfacing her
in the eyes Of all decent people. Itfis
therefore . very charming field for So
called Democracy to sprout and -four
ish in. These Texan Democrats, We
suppose, are to help swell the new Re.
form party now being colonised from
the odds and ends ~ ths opposition
to Republicans. a year ago The State
went for Greeley.

"a under the law now existing. Tho
public debt was increased BY demands
which could not be avoided during
the month of November, to the extont
Of over nine million dollars, and Il ~
apparent that it will be still further In
creased during the current month by
many millions. While the coin re-.
csipts are but little more than sufficient
to pay the interest on the public debt
and other coin expenditures, 1t Will
not be prudent to sell gold to increase
the supply of currency.
"The current expenses Of the Gov.
eminent have already consumed about
eighteen millions Of what has been
called the reserve, and there remains
only about twenty-six millions which
can be used before the extreme limit
of the issue Of u. 8. notes authorized
by law will be reached. The public
credit can only be maintained by keep.
ing the receipts of the Treasury fully
up to the expenditures for ordinary
expenses, for interest on the public
debt, and for the purchase of bonds
for q sinking fund to tho extent pro.
yided by law. 1t was manifestly the
true policy, in view Of maintaining
that credit, so 10 levy taxes o. to make
it certain that the required amount will
be raised, with the probability Of
some surplus revenue, rather than to
incur any risk of deficiency which
would make It necessary to borrow
money and thereby increase the debt.
"In selecting tea and coffee for taxa.
ton, am Influenced by the considera-
ton that the taxes on these articles are
easily collected, and are not oppres-
sive to the consumer. In selecting
spirits, tobacco, gas, railway and
steamboat receipts, express, insurance
and telegraph companies, am gov.
erned principally by the reasons ex.
pressed by the Commissioners Of In.
ternal Revenue, In his letter already
forwarded to the Committee, in the fol.
lowing words: ssIn selecting the
sources for possible taxation have
taken those that would give the rove

JuDGE Davis, who tried and sem
senced Tweed, has been claimed IS 8
Democrat By one or two Democratic
journals in their desire to escape from
the odious position of hav-
ing Tweed as leader. Judge Davis
was born in Haverhill, New Hamp-
shire, in 1915. removed to Western
New York with his parents in 1926,
spent two terms in Lima Seminary,
read law at Lewiston and at Black
Rock. was admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court in ls4l, and pract,ced
at Gaines and Buffalo. In lS44 he
formed a partnership with Sanford f.
Church, now Chief Justicc.of the Court
OF Appeals, aud prscticed law with
him at Albion for foultecn years.
In 1857, Gov. King appointed him
Justice Of the Supreme Court for the
sth district, to ill vacancy. To this
he was elected and reelected. In 1864
he was chosen to Congress from the
Rochester district as Republican. In
1863 he wac elected again to Congress
In 1870. President Grant appointed
him o. 5. Attorney for the southern
district OF New York In 1872 he was
elected by the Republicans to his pre-
sent position on the bench of the New
York Supreme Court. Thus 1t ia seen
that he is no Democrat.

tnRt time more tWenty-slx years of
age. Thus commenced the judicial
career of our Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court. He served acceptably
to the people for i've years, grew as
men will grow when placed in circum.
stances demanding intellectual devel-
opement, made an able Judge, whose
decisions were seldom reversed by the
Supreme Court. In 184S he became
m electof on the Democratic ticket,
OF the State Judge as he was) and AZ.
ter the election Of Mr.. Pierce, in 1852,
was appointed Chief Justice Of the Su-
preme Court Of the Territory of Or
egon, and in 1854 was elected to the
United States Senate from that State
as q Republican, and, at the expiration
of his term, called by Mr.. Grant to 4
seat in his Cabinet ss Attorney Gener-
81, and now appointed to the highest,
most responsible, most sacred Office
created under the Federal Constitu-
ton.
Since political favors can no longer
be dispensed by the man whose sue
cess has been so remarkable, we would
not be charged with sinister motives
by reminding the Chief Justice OF his
early life, and the imminent danger
Of the three delegates from Lee conn-
~, in passing through . dense forest
amid tempest and hurricane, which
scattered trunks and limbs Of sturdy
oaks across the path which led to the
convention that made George Fl. Will
liams Judge, and started him ON his
