Town COUNCIL MATrERs.-Our Town
Council, at its meeting on Tuesday night last.
as will be seen by notice in our advertising
columns, passed an ordinance changing the
Wards of Charlestown-the First Ward to
iatiude all the territory within the corporate
limits West of George street, (takiDg in the
property of Mrs. March, } and North of Wash>
ingtou Cor Main) street and the Smithfield,
Charlestown and Harper's Ferry Turnpike !;
the Second Ward all territory within the
corporate limits West of George street, and
South of Washington Cor Mainly street and
tho said Turnpike; the Third Ward to re-
main as at present bounded.
a novel and ridiculous feature in the meet
ing on Tuesday night was the failure, for
want of a second, of motion made by Coun-
Gilman Jas Law. Hoof to publish state
ment of the financial operations of the Coun>

an exception which motion was squelched
on the spot by the remarks of representative

Strangely inconsistent with this economical
action however, at the same meeting, a
wealthy hond-holder was released from the
payment of corporation taxes to an amount
more than sufficient, 10 all probability, to
cover the eutire cost of the publication of
such financial statement in both the papers
of the town. Perhaps the Council is not
wiling to show its work! Perhaps otherwise!
But future Council may deem it due to tax

RADIoAL DOINGs OF THURSDAY.

The parade of negroes, carpet-baggers
and scalawags in the basement of the Capt.
tol on Thursday, during the recess of the
Legislature, was the work of Edmund J..
Davis, and the low and dirty characters
there were his tools, and put in position to
excite difficulty, if possible, before the in
stallation of Governor Coke. The whole pro-
ceeding was without the shadow of excuse.
Neither the Governor nor any of his under
lings had been interfered with in the least
particular. There had been no violence,
used or threatened. The Legislature had
taken peacOable possession of the halls OF
the Capitol, nothing had been done by
them Indicating any violent intentions, and
entire peace and tranquility reigned
throughout the city. The object of this
military array was to provoke collision
while Davis was yet Governor, and
prevent the installation of Governor
Coke We are glad to say there
were no decent men of our city
in the dirty squad under the immediate
command of Davis's Adjutant, Britton-it
was made up of the lowest materials, vile
and desperate volunteers for the infamous
service. But they failed in their main OBJ
ject The Legislature went calmly on tC
count the votes and install the Governol
and Lieutenant Governor, while Britton and
his dirty squad paradee up and down in Tho
regions below, trying to provoke violence
aud receiving only the derision and con
tempt OF the lockers on. vThey had posi-
bly, legal showing, under the authority o.
the scalawag Davis, until the installment o.
Governor Coke, though we think the,
might all have been arrested by the ciyi
authorities for attempting, by this armed
display, to disturb the peace of the city

Davis ceased as Governor Of Texas, thel

THE DAVIS REBELLION.

The armed occupancy by the Radicals of
the basement of the Capitol, which was
commenced on Thursday, was kept up al
the night following, during which constant
additions to their force were being made by
negroes coming in from the country who
either came in armed or were supplied with
arms from the State arsenal by Britton, the
late Governors Adjutant General. On Fri
day, the next morning, the Legislature met
and passed some laws for the better security
Of the State and its people, one of which,
in relation to sheriffs and the collection and
paying over Of taxes, VIII be found in our
columns. About the middle of the day,
news came to the Avenue that Mayor
Wheeler, who had gone on business to the
arsenal in the west portion of the city, had
been r,idely arrested by. band of armed
negroes, headed by few whites, who
had possession Of the ARSENAL. This
created some Excitement, as might have
been expected. The drum beat the news
flew. and in ten minutes time probably five
hundred people werepTepared TO rescue tho
popular mayor, when he returned and ex-
hortcd the crowd to keep cool and quiet.
After being rudely arrested, when unarmed
aud in discharge Of his duty as the CHIEF
officer Of the city. and detained for some
time. he had been permitted TO depart.
This circumstances naturally increased The
excitement Of the day. and collision Of
TIC armed forces at the Capitol was mo-
mentmily expected. and might have oc.
eurrcd had it not been Tor the great forbcar-
ancc Of our citizens and tho earnest en-
dearors Of the lawful authorities. a.

INAUGURAL OF GOVERNOR COKE.

We have read carefully and with deep in.
terest the inaugural of the new Governor,
which we presented to our readers on Fri
day morning. 1t is a most admirable pro-
duction, rejecting great honor to himself
and the noble State over which he has been
called upon to preside as its chief executive
servant. We have seen no clearer and
stronger presentation of the true nature OF
our complex form of government, in which
the powers derived from the sovereign peo-
pie are divided among the States and the
general government-the one intended to
watch over and legislste concerning all
foreign and general affairs, and tho others
to regulate and prescribe everything local
in its character and Immediately and direct
ly interesting the people at their homes and
by their friends. Amid the storms of civil
convulsion and the following years OF
arbitrary and complicated reconstruction,
many of our people, and especially the
younger portion, whose incipient manhood
was passed in the tented field, have lost
sight of the old land marks, the true prin-
ciples of our federal form of government,
as expounded by the great and good men
who founded it, and it was eminently proper
for Governor Coke to take this early and
conspicuous opportunity to remind our peo-
pie of the true relations subsisting under
our amended Constitution between the re-
spective States of the Union and the
national government. This he has done
with unusual lclearness and vigor, while at
the same time he has exhibited amoderation
and patriotic spirit worthy of all praise.
The inaugural is excellent in substance,
conciliatory in expression and tone, full OF
patriotic feeling for both Texas and the
Union, both of which are dear to his
honest heart, and cannot fail to meet
the approval and - admiration of all
intelligent, good people throughout the
land. We anticipate great advantage
to Texas in every way from the administra-
ton Of GOv. Coke. He seems to us exactly
fitted for the times and circumstances by
which we arc surrounded. The rare quail
ties of moderation and frmness, of kindli-
ness and feaTlessness, are in him so happily
combined with talents and culture as to
constitute him statesman of the first order.
His expressed views on finance and State
credit, on internal Improvement, on educa-
ton and immigration, arc such as will meet
the assent of large number of our people,
and be carried out, we think, by their intel
ligent representatives now assembled at the
Capitol All hail to the pew State govern
ment of Texas, and its head, the noble
Coke. With Coke at the helm, and Hub
bard presiding over the Senate, and Bryan
over the House, and these bodies both com
posed of some of the ablest sons of Texas,
what may we not expect from their deliber-
ations

THE New York Times, the leading organ
of the Republican party, and supposed es-
pecially to represent the feelings Of Presi-
dent Grant, will, doubtless, feel very much
hurt and down in the mouth at the fierce
assault of the Austin State Journal The
term ''blathersl1ite," applied to its editor
by Jimmy Newcomb, is well calculated 70
alarm and will probably stop his mouth and
palsy his hand. To be serious, the madness
and folly of the few white Radicals OF
Texas is extraordinary, and almost beyond
belief by those who are not on the spot to
witness.th Protesting to be the very
pinks of loyalty to the Union, the Radical
party, and to President Grant, they set
themselves up to overthrow by violence a
legal State government, acknowledged by
the President and all the great leading
presses of their own party, and undertake
even to denounce and blackguard them for
giving advices, running counter to their
wild and lawlcss schemes. From all that
can be learned by the newspapers and tele-
graphic dispatches, the infatuated Radicals
of Texas have no backing from any source.
Win they persist?

AFTER very carly winter, which closed
up the Hudson river sooner than has been
known for the last forty years, our Northern
brothers have been visited since by cur
rent of warm air from between the tropics,
and the raiIzi,-- saIl>.-,e de ice has disap-
peared, and navigation again opcneu. IN
Connecticut, mighty floods have swept away
bridges and telegraphic poles and inter
rupted the railroad travel In the mean
time, we are exchanging the late warm
weather for touch of winter, all that we
have really had until now On Thursday,
the 10Th, rain, sleet and a little snow fell
during the day, which was decidedly un-
pleasant and uncomfortable. We begin to
fear there is something wrong and that our
Northern brethren have been swapping the
weather with US.
