ONE reason why Coke's administration
does not suit either the NSlrs or the STATES
AiAN Is that the Galveston and Austin rings
haven't found in him those lamb-like Quail
ties that they supposed be possessed, and
which would have enabled them 10 lead
him IN the direction OF an accommodating
treasury, but into political license. danger
Gus TO the permanency Of Democratic insti-
tutions in Texas. Under which state If
things they hoped, vulture-Kke, to gorge
themselves upon the carcass Of the dead
hopes Of the manhood and virtue of the
State. The shYlocks In Austin. who have
grown rich on the margins between what
they give and get for State warrants, are
forever opposed to any man, or any in
fiuence that breaks up that ''iittle game.

The above impudent article is SANDER

And we call upon the Eramiasr to name
the rings here in Austin and what they
attempted to do to his master that that pa
per should write such stuff, worth about as
much as the billingsgate Of nee points

the business men of Austin who are as high

has become so much inflated with gas, that it
lets it of occasionally in most repulsive
way. But the high sounding platitudes OF
that weak organ viii fall harmless outside
of Waco. If that paper could only know
how the name of Waco affects the risibili-

fusion to its bosom that that town is the

TEXAS VETERANS.

We are informed that the pension clerk
in the Comptrollcr's Office holds that all
veterans who have not heretofore applied
for pensions must do sOSby the first Of July,
or they will be debarred the benfts of the
act.
The clerk has evidently misconstrued the
law; for if we are not greatly at fault in
the construction of language, section six
of the act sets the question at rest. It is
in the following words, viz:
SEC. 6. In cases where the evidence fled
with an application In the Comptroller's
Office before the first day of July, 1874, for
pension under said act of thirteenth Of
August, 1870, was not deemed sufficient to
authorize the issuance of a pension certif-
cate, or when no application has been made
prior to the first day of July, A. d. 1874,
by any person entitled to receive the same
under this act, the applicant shall have the
right to supply or furnish the evidence re-
quired to obtain a certificate under this act,
and upon doing so he shall have the same
rights under this act as be would have had
If said evidence had been fled with his
original application.
It will be seen that that section contains
these words: .'Or whea no application has
ben made prior to TIE. Jtfrst day Of July. 4. D.
1874, By any person entitled to receive the
same under this act, the applicant shall ka5s
he right to supply Or furnish tie eOidcnos ~
quirsd to obtain certificate under this act,
and upon doing 50 be shall have the same
nights under this act as be would have had
Il said evidence had been fled with his
original application Now how can the
above be 50 construed as to shut out al
parties who do not apply before July,
1874 Il may be said to refer to parties
who applied under act Of 1870, bat It WI

WE learn that on the eleventh instant,
about sunset, at Wharton, Texas, F. G..
Franks, formerly Senator from that dis
trict, was shot with a shotgun and instantly
killed by Lee Lacy, of that place. It seems
that Franks had been attempting to force
Lacy to leave the town, and even made
threats against him. which were commune
Gated to Lacy. Upon seeing HIM crossing
the street and advancing towards the same
side where he was standing, Lacy fred upon
him with the above result. He instantly
surrendered himself, and was committed to
Jail. lie asked the citizens to protect him
from mobs, saying that be was willing to
be tried by the courts, and did not fear the
results. We trust that no mobs viii take
his case in hand. It is time for the courts
to assert their rights and vindicate the ma
jesty Of the law.

TIE conclusions arrived at by the STATES
NAN, in his article of the seventh instant,
viz: that the Southern Democrats would
be driven to the support of Grant for the
third term, is one of the strangest we have
ever seen drawn in Democratic paper.
We think the result of the Greeley cam
paign has about upset that sort of fitting
Democracy, and has taught the people that
aclean-cut, respectable minority is far more
preferable than success under a man whose
Democracy does not exist at all. By the
STATEsMAN's rule the ghost of the father of
the civil rights bill would make an accepta-
BILE standard bearer for the Democracy. It
would be scarcely less Objectionable than
the STATEsMAN's candidate. While Sum-
ner and Phillips and that class Of negro
worshippers have planned the campaigns,
Grant has fought them through 10 success.
and now, Mr.. STATESMAN Democratic(7 p
you are Just as far from the mark as it is
possible for one to be- Waco Examiner.
The Examiner is again at fault, misses
the whole subject, and lets his imagination,
or something else, lead him into miserable
blunder The STATESMAN has never said
that the Southern Democracy would be
driven to the support of Grant. Is the
Examiner so OJtuse that it can't see that the
article was purely speculativeG Only spoke
Of what might take place, even against oul
will If that paper can't see it, then we
can assure him that such is the fact. We
never admired Grant; never advocated his
election, and never came to the conclusion
that the Southern Democrats would b.
driven to his support. Read 1t again
The advice of David Crockett would be o.
great service ts the blunt perceptions OF the
Eran'iner, "Be sure you are right and ther
go ahead"
In conclusion, we refer the Examiner tc
our reply to the Galveston Mans, on the
same subject, and about the same mistake.
