when the Twelfth Radical Legislature
was performing all its works OF iniquity,
turning out Democrats, who were legally
elected, and admitting Radicals, who had
no shadow Of claim to their seats, introduce
ing extravaganza, and multiplying Offices,
to accommodate all the carpet-baggers and
scalawags in the State with good stealing
positions, clothing the Governor with
powers, never dreamed Of by the makers of
the Constitution, and making him an ire
sponsible desPOt, accepting brides and voting
money subsidies to railroads, and grinding
down the people with oppressive laws and
heavy taxation for their own especial benefit
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, all the Radical news
papers of the State, without exception. de-
Tended their doings and encouraged them
on in their villainous work. Now these
same Radical papers, after havingprofted by
these ubiquitous proceedings, have the
face to denounce that Legislature and pre-
tend to be great advocates of economy and
reform. Failing in their efforts to retain
power, with all their register, police and
school laws, and their horde of officials, APP
pointed by the Governor, they are now pre-
tending to be exceedingly shocked with the
extravagance of the Thirteenth Legislature
and their alleged misconduct, as if they
were the most honest, economical and patri-
otto set ever known or heard of. 1t is the
sublimits of hypocricy and pretension.

OUn NEtr VOLUmR.

Il viii have been noticed by our readers
that our last weekly issue was tie com
inencement Of a new volume Of the DENo-
CRATIC eTArEsMAN. Since its start. now
over two years ago, which grew out Of the
supposed necessity Of having at the capital
q sound, reliable, Democratic paper, to sus
tain at eli hines the party organization, the
eTArEafkE has gone on steadily increasing
ifs circulation and beneficial influence
7throuehout the State. From small, It has
attained large proportions, until it is now
generally admitted to be one Of the hand
soonest and most interesting weekly news
papers IN Texas. Il contains ell the latest
news b telegraph, which our prosperous
daily Affords, and great variety Of
miscellaneous matter, selected with great
care and with an eye to interest all
classes From day to day, all the news
papers OF Texas (for we exchange with alp

important, or Of inter-ss, is made for our

political course, We need say but little, as
& Is well known everywhere it goes. True
g. tho object Of its creation, it has invaria-
hiy maintained Democratic principles, and
e6niendcd for keeping up the Democratic
party and organization in Texas. 1t will
toatinuc to do this, and viii be emphatically
Democratic paper, devoted to the party
and the preservation Of its time honored
and time tested doctrines and usages. To
make the STATESMAN still more useful to
the party by increasing its already extended
cifculation, we would suggest to our friends,
ii different portions Of the State, that the
assembling Of the Democratic State Con-
tention at this city, on the third of septem-
b1Fnext, win furnish them with an excellent
opportunity Of making up clubs of new sub
aenbess to the Weekly STATESMAN, and
sending up the money by the delegates to
the convention. This will save all the
trouble and uncertainty Of subscription
and conveyance by mail. Let our friends
attend to this, and in this way they may do
~ aud the great party we advocate signal
service, with little trouble to themselves.
After the convention is over and the Demo-
cratic standard bearers selected, we intend
publish all the proceedings in full, and
to begin the campaign against the common
enemy with viror and effect. and it will be
the very best time for subscribing for the
DEMocRATIc STATESMAN. Again we say,
make up your clubs and send up your
names, your postofiices, and, above all, your
money, for it is only advance pay that will
aualain a newspaper.

THE GALVESTON COMMERcIAL.

Yesterday morning we had the pleasure
of receiving the first number of this new
paper, for some time promised, and for a
long time much needed by the Democratic
party of Texas. The importance of having
in that aourishing city a reliable Democratic
organ can hardly be over-estimated. ,Aswe
have before informed our readers, the
Commercial is published and owned by Col.
R. L. Fulton, gentleman well known in
the State as good Democrat, and hereafter
its editor in chief will be John W. Over
all, Esq, for many years connected with
the Southern press, devoted Democrat,
and gentleman of fine culture and attain
ments The present number of the Com
mereial makes very handsome appearance,
and gives full promise of its future useful
ness. We extend to it warm welcome,
and wish it all manner of success.

TranspIanting Fish.

The Marysville California; appeal, of
the fourth, states that Livingston Stone,
United States Fish Commissioner, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Woodbury., arrived safely with
ten cars, eacR containing five thousand
young shad, at the Sacramento river, on the
second instant. These shad were discharged
into the river at Tchama, on Wednesday
night, and the commissioner returned to
Sacramento by the train the following day.
The cans used in the transportation of these
fish are made of heavy tin, have a capacity
of about fifteen gallons, and resemble in
appearance the ordinary milk can. These
fish, while in trdnsitH, have required great
care. The water in the cans had to be kept
at an even temperature, by the use-of a
thermometer. In crossing the mountains it
was found necessary to heat irons in the en-
CINE and keep the water mild, and on reach
ing Sacramento large supply of ice was
taken aboard before starting for Red Bluff,
to keep them cool. The party in charge of
these shad are the same who were wrecked
in the California aquarium car, at Elkhom
river, Nebraska. They have in this instance
been very successful, and launched their
inny charge near the headwaters of the
Sacramento river. It is she intention to fit
out another aquarium car next season.

WE are reliably informed that Col. Word
refuses to have his name used in connection
with the office of State Senator. Col
Word in his voluntary retirement from pol
itics will have the satisfaction of knowing
that he has Won the confidence of both
friends and foes by his conscientious actions
in the last Legislature. KAUFMAN Star.
We regret the intention of our old friend,
Col. JEFF Word, to retire from politics. He
made an excellent Senator, none better.
We have known him, in other lands, for
many years, and We know how thoroughly
conscientious and honest he is as a man
aud politician. Educated, experienced
and patriotic, he is one Of the few
Of the good old sort left among us.
The rising generation Of politicians need
his example and precepts.

Some of our Democratic contemporaries,
Who are inclined to stray occasionally from
the straight and narrow path of true De-
mocracy, and thus lay themselves liable to
admonition, instead of defending themselves
aqnarely, resort to the weak and silly
charge. that we are attempting to lead the
Democratic party OF Texas and to dictate to
them their proper course. Nothing could
be more unfounded and unjust We tollolO
Demoratie principles soAere5ey they he'd. We
never get ahead Of them, but we strive hard
10 keep up and to be close by them, and if
our brethren Of the same professed faith
shousa disposition to lag behind, or to stray
of after new pastures and strange gods, we
cannot help admonishing them on their
conduct and endeavoring to keep them
on the right track and up to the
Democratic standard. This they cali dicta-
ting and attempting to lead. There is no
dictation about it, and they know this very
well. As for leading, We should rejoice,
i, instead Of tagging behind or strOlling
away, they would get ahead Of us in their
advocacy Of good, old, pure, Democratic
doctrines, and thus take the lead them
solves. But when they are doing things
well calculated to divide and break up the
Democratic party, and are opposing a strict
Democratic organization and an adherence
to the determinations Of conventions, they
must not expect to be called leaders Of the
panty. We defy these objectors to our
course to point out single instance, in
which the STATESMAN has varied from true
Democratic principles, doctrines or usages.
The complaints come from newspapers that
are not always regardfulOf either.

ERoM the Bastrop Advertiser, we learn
with regret, that old Captain Jesse Bill
lingsly has suffered himself to be inveigled
into the Radical meshes, and has declared
himself an Independent candidate for the
Legislature from the Bastrop District. He
has entered into correspondence with the
Radical committee, and may be considered,
to all intents and purposes, the Radical can
didate. 1t is a pity to see once good man
led off, in his old age, after false idols of
wood and stone, but these things will hap
pen. Let him be treated as the Radical
candidate, and beaten so thoroughly that
he will not feel disposed to try the expert
ment again. These independent candi-
dates should be promptly discouraged and
discountenanced everywhere. This will be
the Radical game whenever they are not
strong enough to run their own men with
any prospect of success.

IT has been discovered at Washington
lately, that many of the clerks, male and
female, employed about the departments,
are secretly married, to prevent being
turned out of Office, as there is a rule that
man and his wife shall not both be in the
service of the government. We can see no
particular sense in this rule, but we do say
that no females, married or single, should be
employed about the public Offices at Wash
ingtOn. 1t is corrupting in high de-
gree. 1t is now difficult to tell who are
married and who are not at the great Capt.
toll of the Union.
