will never more hear the reason assigned for
his robbery that the public Is interested in
this article, or ''the public good Will be
promoted, and therefore can't pay for this. "
Newspapers, like tannenes or saw mills,
have existence TO make living for their
owners. These owners are no more orless
concerned about the public veal than other
good citizens, and are under no more or less
obligationto serve the public. II, therefore,
any wish to promote good cause by using
the machinery of newspaper, they must
pay the cost. In most cities, religious no.
tices are published at half the rates charged
for other advertisements, and people of an
Eastern community no more think Of using
a newspaper for any purpose, however be-
nefcent, without relieving the newspaper
owner Of the cost Of labor, or without pay
ing for the use of materials than they would
expect to use the horse and buggy Of
liveryman in funeral procession without
paying for the pleasure. The airing Of
ones name in print is infinitely more profit
able, and even more delightful, than of the
person in the most faultless landau, and in
no event neither the good nor the bad of a
community have the right to make pack
horse, as is commonly done, of poor devil

lines that do not enter or begin at Calves

his associates would have deserved all COM

enriched, and the wharf company rot

Ho1- JoHN S. PnEI,Ps, one of the most
distinguished public men of Missouri, is be-
ing strongly recommended in that State for
the United States Senatorship. Major
Phelps's name Is household word through
out Missouri, where he is known as the old
war horse Of Democracy. He held a very
prominent seat in Congress for eighteen
years, and upon the breaking out of the war
he was the Oldest member Of that body.
He was for a long time chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, and-ac-
quired the soubriquet Of the {" Bulldog Of
the Treasury" He was very prominent
member Of several other committees, and
it is due the honorable gentleman to say
that no State ever had more faithful rep
resentatiye in the NATIONAL halls of legisla-
tion. In view of the intimate associations
between Texas and Missouri, great interest
is felt here in the political welfare and ma
terial prosperity of the great country north
of us, and it is to be hoped that AIissOuri's
influence in Congress win, to certain ex-
tent, be identified with that of the Lone
Star State. Hence we feel double interest
in the politics of that State, and think that
the selection of Senator OF such ability
and experience as Mr.. Phelps will be pro-
ductive of great good to the country.

THE greatest virtue of Grants message is
its seeming originality, not only in its
awkwardness of expression and involved
sentences, but in its proposed modes of ad-
justing questions affecting the relations of
the States to the Federal Union. Wisely
and properly the President hopes that ne
future occasion for the intervention Of Fed
eral power IN the affairs Of the several States
will ever arse. With this aspiration ofthe
President every patriot viii confess heart
felt sympathy. To the very extent that this
message is an Improvement on those that
have preceded it, to the SANG extent It an
nsunces the Presidents departure from prac-
tees Of Radicalism so earnestly condemned
by the people in recent State elections.

THE SHAME AND GLORY OF GRANT.


OF all disorderly governments, those of
Central American States not excepted, that
of Mississippi Is unexcelled. 1t is black in
all its incidents and Ndjuncts, and where
ever unafricanized, is redOlent of purest
carpet-bagism. Alcorn and Lamar in Con-
gress, and Christian and Orr upon the cir
cui. bench, are, we believe, the only four
genuine white men holding Office under the
laws of the blessed negro-goVeIned COM
monwealth. II white people were in power
Northern Radicalism would ascribe the
Vicksburg emsute to the overbearing inso-
lence of ex-slaveholders or to wretched
systems defined by Democracy; but here
are all elements of discord actively ruinous
and there is faultless civil rights act, as
originally written by Charles Sumner, in
remOrseless operation in Mississippi. In
fact the absolute perfection Of the whole
scheme of reconstruction is illustrated in
the policy, laws, and condition of AIlssis-
sippi. Property is almost valueless; vii
lages and towns are dismantlSd, deserted and
go to decay; farms, once worth thousands,
are sold for hundredsi poverty supplants
opulence; the cost Of local government is
tepfOld greater than when tho people were
tenfold richer than to-day; and now, to
crown the work of Radical optimists, war
of races is inaugurated. There is singular
appositeness discovered in the fact that as
Grant won his brightest military laursls at
Vicksburg 50 his civil career finds here its
crOwning disgrace. a3

TIE NEXT SPRARER.-The contest for the

excitesa deal of interest at Washington.
The leading candidates are Ex-Governor

hard money and hard-headed Democrat; :;
Fernando Wood, ex-mayor of New York,
Blest with an abundance of bonds and
greenbacks; and, above all, the Admirable

IT cost seven millions last year to care for

would pay for their entertainment for
twelve months at the best hash house in

since Washington has become an asylum for
countless negroes, that the city's attractive

the White House of these red '.nation's

RRPREsENTATION IN THE CONSTI-
TUTIONAL. CONVENTION.


The articles Of the STATESMAN upon con
stitutional measures have elected a good
deal Of discussion through the press of tho
State. In this most commendable spirit
has been displayed, and the public is
glad to secure the wholesome advice con-
tanned in scores Of able articleso on the great
work which is soon to carve out brilliant
prospects for Texas. In ell this discussion
we can discover growing and earnest de-
sire to return, as soon as possible, to those
good old democratic doctrines, which,
embodied in the early fundamental laws
OF the country, have sunk 50 deeply
into the American heart as to make
it impregnable to the willy WORKINGS
Of Radicalism. The disposition, thus
ovinced, among other things points to-
wards the curtAiling of executive powers,
which for the sake of good and pure gov
erument must be abridged. Every session
OF Congress and every session Of State leg
islatures, for a decade and . half have
drifted into the current which has been
widening executive inhuence and powers.
But tho turning point has been gained,
and for the future it can be expected the
people viii gradually assume those powers
which rightfully belong. 10 them. With
the attention also that Is being paid to
points concerning the Judiciary, it
may be inferred that such Safeguards
viii be thrown about its creation and fanc-
tons a. will hereafter inufe to the safety
and stability OF our institutions.
Butwhile all these pleasant assurances
gather around Us, tho question underlying
their security is the character Of the con
stitutional convention. It's composition
and the manner Of creating it must Be cam
estly studied and deliberately planned.

fifty or moro negroes arc said to have been
killed in the recent fights In and about

tenn of taxation incident to state Of war.

and crimes at Vicksburg and elsewhere,
cannot destroy the growing greatness, re-
press the energies or defeat tbs aims Of
American patriotism. The shadow Of the
negro, as cast ACROSS the pathway Of south

II
A people, ike a city OF State, are known
abroad only through the press that repre-
sents them. If coarse, vulgar, bullying,
staggering newspapers went abroad from
Austin, strangers would shun this city as
travellers do oriental pest houses. The
spirit Of the press is naturally supposed to
animate the community in which the news
paper has existence. A tastefully printed
newspaper, wisely conducted and filed
with reading matter beyond the reach of
criticism, makes the homo Of that paper at
tractive to educated and refined people.
There is law lessness in fact and brutality in
action wherever there is lawIessness of ex-
pressI6n and brutality in thinking illus
trated in local newspaper press. No de-
cent community will sustain an indecent
newspaper, and no ignorant town or viii
lage will support an admirably well printed
and costly publication, The STATESMAN
will never give publicity to story that
will make aiwomap blush, and never thrust
the private grievances of its conductors in
the face of the public, and simply because,
if there were no better reason, no decent,
intelligent community will sustain an indie
cent newspaper, and no ignorant town OF
village will sustain a costly and wei printed
publication. AS the sTATEsHAN grows in
circulation, and thus, in its resources, it is
steadily improved in every incident and ap-
pliance of mechanical art, and. since it
has sought scduleusly never to offend the
taste OF the most fastidious, oven when in
Weighing bitterly against the depraEed,
may We not hope that each reader Of the
STATESMAN, interested in promoting the
fortunes of Austin, and of Fexas, will be-
come our active agent, and each secure for
us at least one additional reader9
