A HpndoO Letter.

You all have heard Of the late Governor
Sews.j, suppose, and how. though he was
an old man, he made . journey around the
world, and aftcrward wrote big book about
it. Did you ever hear Of the letter he received
from Maharajah Of Hindostan, the richest
and one of tho most distinguished men OF the
country This letter WAS only friendly line
to Governor Seward, requesting the honor OF
visit; but think Of the style! Il was written BY
the great Msharajah' Is secretary in beautiful
Arabic characters, on gilt paper: The cnvelop
was not like those used In America, but was
. bag of the finest Aaeo6;: that Is, kind OF
silk, woven stiff with golden threads, and
costing abuut seventy-dve dollars yard.
The 6eg and tho letter within It were per-
fumed with costly ottar Of roses. and the
whole was tied with silken cord, on which
was suspended the great waxcn seal OF the
Kingdom, principnlity, or stste of Putteola.
This seal alooc weighed four ounces.
Somebody sent President Grant pcsta caro-
the other day. wonder what HE Magnm-
cent Highncss the Maharajsh would think
Of that.

THE sou1H AND WEST.

The indianapolis Journal, leading
Republican organ of the West, states
that in discussing the financial and
transportation questions, it has repeat
edly argued that the interests of the
West and South were identical ON these
great questions, and that the time
would probably come when these Sec
tons would com pine to make their in
fluence felt, and to secure common re-
lief The Journal adds:
"Unfriendly antagonism between
the West and the East is certainly to
be deprecated, bat it is evident that
the West and the South are laboring
under disabilities which are little re-
garded or understood at the East, and
to remedy which is worthy of their
closest union and most earnest endeav-
or. For long series of years the i'm
portant legislation of the country has
been shaped chiefly in the interests of
the East, while those of the West have
been made to talle secondary place.
And at present there is manifest a
strong disposition to disregard and de-
feat the almost universal demand of the
West and South for such a reformation
of our financial system as shall give
them, when needed, asufhciency of cur
rency to sustain and develop their
great business enterprises. The West
and South are entitled to greater in
iuence in controlling National legisla-
ton than they have yet exerted, and
as their interests in nearly all impor-
tant matters are identical they ought
to use every legitimate means of max
ing their influence felt"

THE rExAs ourRAGE.

Our dispatches this morning state
that the Supreme Court Of Texas has
decided that the law under which the
late election was held in that State,
and which resulted in Democratic vic
tory, is unconstitutional. The court is
composed exclusively of Republican
Judges, and it has been a foregone con-
clusion for some time that this would
bethe up-shot of the Republican defeat
before the people. The section which
the Supreme Court holds has been vio-
lated by the law under which the elec-
ton was held, provides ''that all cleo
tons for State, district and county Of
ficers, shall he held at the county seat Of
the several counties until otherwise
provided by law; and the polls shall be
open for four days" The Republican
Legislature of Texas passed bill Gre
ating several voting placesin each coun-
ty, and limited the time of voting
to single day. The Republican Gov
ernor of that State approved the act.
and issued his proclamation for holding
the election in accordance with the pro-
visions of the act, which he recited.
The preliminary canvass was gone
through and the election was held, and
up TO that time no opposition was
made to holding the election on the
ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional. On the contrary, the Republi-
cans every where nominated candidates
for the respective offices to be filed and
entered heartily into the contest, and
there is scarcely shadow of doubt that
the law would have been regarded and
treated as constitutional if the people
had elected Republican Governor and
a majority of the Legislature of the
same political faith. But the majority
was largely the other way, and SO soon
as that fact was ascertained the van
pushed party made the discovery that
the law was unconstitutional, and
partisan Supreme Court has now de-
cided that way. 1t is by such an out
rage that Radical rule is sought to be
perpetuated in Texas, and that State
made another Louisiana.

The course Of our diplomacy on the
Vircinius outrage, was marked by sue

the United States Government should
shape its course on an international
