HON. JOHN HANCoCK.

The recklessness of the radicals in all
they say and do has become proverbial.
Their aspersions and misrepresentation of
democratic leaders are only surpassed by
their abuse of one another, when they fall
out and quarrel like cats and dogs over the
federal offices. We have been led to these
remarks by seeing, in the San Antonio Ex-
press, statement. that divers radicals, such
as Flanagan, Plumley, Clark and Baker,
are in ''a spasm of alarm on account of
the visit of Gov. Davis to Washington.
These are designated as forming s'ring,"
and in that ring are included the names of
John Hancock, Pease and Phillips. We have
nothing to say about Ex-Gov. Pease
and DR.. Phillips, both of whom,
until lately, have been acting with the radi-
cal party, and, for ought we know, still
claim to be republicans, but we have some
thing to say for John Hancock, the associa-
ton of whose name Nth any radical ring,
or tincture of radicalism, is foul and gross
libel. The Honorable John Hancock, our
present member of Congress, has the full
and deserved confidence of the democracy
of this District and, we believe, of the
State. In the last Congress of the United
States, he was altogether the ablest and
most influential member from Texas, and
we may add, from the entire South. His
labors, especially for the people Of Texas,
were untiring, as they were unset
fish, and successful to a degree scarcely
expected from the character of the
present Executive and majority Of both
branches of Congress. We deem it high
" important and gratifying that he was
triumphantly reelected to the seat he has
filed at Washington with 80 much advan-
tage to his constituents and SO much credit
to himself. His faithfulness to the demo-
cratic party, which elected him, is beyond
question, and he cannot be injured by such
contemplate intimations as the libel in the
ExpEcss It shows, however, the desperate
game the radicals are playing, and that their
only hope is in creating dissensiOn and di-
vision among democrats, and. to effect this,
they are ready to do anything which their
depraved natures may prompt and devise.
But this low fling at John Hancock win fail
in its object. He is above and beyond its
reach. II be continues In the future as he
has been in the past, he viii be deserving
Of any Office, even the highest, which the
democracy and people Of Texas have to be
stow.

Impatiencc IS being manifested in all
quarters at the delay in fixing the time and
place Of the next Democratic State Conven-
ton. What does it mean, is the question
asked by every democrat. Colonel Wink
Ter, the Chairman, neither acts nor gives
any explanation why he does not act. Every
days delay is now injurious to the demo
cratic party of Texas, which some pretended
democrats are evidently intriguing to break
up and destroy. We have too much con-
fdence in the Chairman of the State Com
mittee to believe, for moment, that he Is
playing into their hands, but such is really
the effect of delay. Unless Colonel Winkler
soon fixes the day and place, some united
action must be had on this subject VIII
he remain silent under all the pressure
brought upon himG

WE are told that President Grant. on re-
turning to Long Branch from the burial of
his father at COvingtOn, showed no out
ward emblem Of mourning, wearing light
hat, without the customary Grape around it.
He was in quite talkative mood, chatting
and laughing frequently with several gen.
tlemen, who sat near him. Perhaps the
great man felt relieved, for poor old Jesse
had been some trouble to him Of late, but
it would have looked well to have put on a
little appearance Of sOrrOw, even if it were
not felt But it all goes to prove how in
dependent of public opinion the n.ighty
smoker is. Possibly he was thinking Of a
third term, or how much he could get for

nate Jesse has a last resigned

THR ONO mOvKMKNT.


The Galveston News publishes with ap-
probation the Allen county, Ohio, ResOlus
tions, which contemplate the formation of
new party, without any declared princi-
pies, on the general issue Of corruption in
the powers that be. The resolutions de-
nounce the squandering Of the public lands,
and the Credit Mobilier frauds, and the
salary bill, and the general corruption,
which both the present political parties, it
alleges, are unable to check, and call
meeting of the people of the State of Ohio,
without regard to past political associations,
at Columbus, on the thirtieth day of July
inst. The idea of party, with no avowed
political principles, and with only gen.
eral charge of corruption against those
holding Office, in order to get Office
themselves, without any guarantee
that they will do any better, is an
absurdity which needs only to be
understood to be condemned. No
party can or ought to succeed that has no
basis except mere profession of honesty,
In fact, this movement means a mere
scramble for Office, by combination of all
sorts of people, who have not got Office.
And the democratic party is to be given up
for this sOulless, senseless, mongrel concern,
made up of weakened, hungry democrats,
who cannot wait for the triumph of their
party on principle, and the odds and ends
and offshoots of radicalism, who have failed
to get Office, from the supply being greater
than the demand. This conglomeration,
without even name as yet, is to take the
place Of the great democratic party, with its
fixed and well known and well understood
principles, as lasting and undying as free
government ITSELF And this shameless
movement in Ohio to break up the old DEM
ocratic party, the News thinks its readers
in Texas viii generally indorse." Then we
trust its readers will be few, and grow
fewer every day.
We did not expose and denOunce the po-
litical course of the News a moment too
soon. We have now an open avowal, on
its part, against continuation of the dem
ocratic party. It goes for the new Ohio
movement, which it thinks will probably be
''the platform of anew State party in Ohio, +"
and it only regrets that the Allen County
Resolutions did not say something about
the arbitrary interference of the Govern
ment in Louisiana, and the growing tend
ency towards Capitalization, which, in fact,
as well as all political issues, are ignored
entirely by them. But no matter for that
any thing to break up the democratic party
seems to be the idea and object of the
News. First we had the approval of the
half and half negro equality party move
ment in Louisiana, and now the new no
party movement in Ohio, and, if any thing
else should spring up, calculated to prevent
the organization of the democratic party on
its old principles and platform, we may ex-
pect the News to go for it, with proviso,
or something in the way of a small hole, to
creep out of, if found necessary.

THE insinuations in the State Jd rnal

are entirely worthy of radical paper but

The Houston Telegraph suggests that,
''if the Statesman has any candidate or
candidates in view, who it fears will not
stand under the two-thirds rule, that it
would best give them up" We would
respectfully inform the Telegraph, that we
have no Candidate or candidates. at all,
and do not expect to have any until Dem
ocratic State Convention determines who
they shall be. And now, in return for the
kindness of the Telegraph, we would ask,
if there are any second or third class men
about Houston, who imagine they may get
nominations by retaining the two-thirds
rule, and has the Telegraph these worthy
patriots sin viewg" If so, it had better
