GOV. corsnrNAuouRArEp.

Our dispatches yesterday brought
us intelligence that Gov. Coke, and
Lieut.. Gov. Hubbard, were inaugu
rated quietly and without opposition
from the reckless faction who have so
long and so ruthlessly swayed the
soeptre of irresponsible power over
the destinies of Texas. After all the
protesting, the vain calls for bayo.
nets and the wild shrieking for help
from the Federalipower, the finale
comes, and erunt, Davis does not
make ripple on the surface. We
are no alarmist, our political nerves
are not easily jostled from their ac>
customed s.eadness and not with
standing a dc .fucto Government is
like possession inlaw, hard 10 upset
yet in this Supreme moment of tri.
umph we would have our people as
well as our Government remember
tha. we are dealing with able, as we'll
as reckless aud daring fees. We
would impress the utmost care, and
caution upon the men, into whose
worthy hands, the destinies of this
great State, have been delivered
One of the first subjects that will en-
gage both the Executive and Legisla-
ture, ;..ill unquestionably be the late
decision, and its results. It's poison
must be met with ,a2 antidote
as powerful and as potent
as the gravity Of the case
demands. If suffered to stand as 1t
does now, tn, complications likely to
arise in the future will be productive
of endless litigation and chickering's.
That the secret OF Davis quiet relin-
quishment of power, after his wild ef.
forts to involve the State with the
Federal authorities lies hid behind
this miserable decision. What mis-
chief it might produce under the ma
nipalations of the able Radical doc
tors at the city of Washington. we are
not able to say. OF one thing however,
we are very certain, and that is the
will and intent are both bad, and they
are held in check IN this instance by
our fifty thousand majority alone.

The following is the full text OF
Governor DAVIS reply Ito the com"
mittees of both Houses, who waited
upon him to inform him that they
were ready for business. 1t seems
that Davis has placed himself with
out the pale of decent forbearance,
and this document shows hlm pub
lie enemy OF the State.
We dislike to judge any one
harshly, not even political toe, and
hope that he has some explanation to
offer that will soften the meaning of
this wicked ard cruel document. and
with it the terrible condemnation OF
his fellow countrymen, whose just in
dlgnation he has so richly earned:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, STATE OF TEXAS,
AUSTIN, Jan. II, 1874.
GENrLEMEN-In reply to your ver
bal communication, made to me to-
day, / have to state that l do not
think it advisable for the public good
that l should disregard the decision
of the Supreme Court, made recently,
touching the late election, by recog-
nizing the gentlemen you represent as
being the constitutionally elected
Fourteenth Legislature.
1t seems to me that there is some
better solution of the present ditfi>
Guilty than that the Governor and
those claiming to be elected to the
Legislature should jointly combine to
override the judiciary and disregard
their construction of the Constitution.
| must believe that such course will
leave the door open for dangerous un-
certainty in the future, both in the
matter of authority TO enact the legis-
lation that may be proposed by the
gentlemen you represent, and the
matter of constitution and existence o
the highest tribunal of our State.
There may be foand two Supreme
Courts and even two Legislatures
claiming authority. 1t Is even now
claimed by some, that the Thirteenth
Legislature is at present the only lie,
gally existing Legislature,and that 1t
can only constItutionally convene
and provide for this emergency. 1t
will then, after all, be settlement
brought about by species of revolu.
ton or violence, as against the court
making the decision. 1t is true 1t is
easy enough, and it seems the SIM
plest solution of the present diflicul-
ty, that we should jointly adopt this
case, AZ the Supreme Court has no
way of enforcing its decisions against
the Executive and Legislature COM
bined. But | consider that in tins
case the easiest course is not one l
would ike to be party to. l will
be happy to join you, and the gentle-
men you represent, in applying the
promptest and most feasible remedy
in this difficulty. II has been re-
peatedly held that the recognition of
Congress and the Executive of tbe
United States will settle the question
as to what body Of men constitute
the Legislature, and which is the
proper State Government. This way
affords a solution to be accepted by
all. am tree to act with indepens

The Leader of the German.

A sarcastic writer In All the Year
Round says, in describing the German
cosillion " Most delightful of all is
the anxiety, the wise folly, OF foolish
wisdom on the face of the leader of the
game. When things are going right he
is forecasting what is to come, consult
ing hurriedly with the hostess, who has
been told that she must leave all to
him, or let the thing go to wreck. There
is kin I of serious concentration IN his
manner, which suggests some great caf :
tain, who is called in at crisis, and
who engages to save the countrS, pro-
vided he gets carte blanche, and Lusu
be strictly obeyed. Some Cf these COM
manders lie in the bed the next day, /
am told, exhausted, not by the bodily
labor, lbut by the mental strain. I have
heard the leader telling his fair COM
panion gravely, what anxiety he had
felt for the week past, as Algy Blue
boy, who had given his word to support
him, had gone of to the country, to
stand BY Mrs. MantoBer at a similar
crisis. BE was going to throw it all mp,
only that Mrs. Blank, the hostess, had
come to him in flood of tears, saying,
poor woman that she would be ruined
and undone if he didn't stand by her.
This put him on his mettle. BE had
lain on a sofa all day, giving strict or
ders that no one was to be let IN, had
put his head to the work, and every one
might see it was going off splendidly.
But the wear and tear of these things
was awful"

Eng, yet their tastes for the food that
made that blood was different in many
respects. Chang and Eng we're both

NAL food while the latter detested it.
One could sleep while the other re-
manned awake and the operations of
the gastric juices in digestion were dis
tinct an different in time. The neces-
sary tyranny of each over the other is
beyond ordinary appreciation. Where
Chang had to go, Eng had to follow,
and where Eng was called there must
Chang answer too. Chang might be
sick and Eng well, yet Eng had to sUf
fer the Inconvenience and restrictions
of illness. though untroubled by its
pain. Their mental independence of
each other was not less marked, nor
could it be a source of much less ty-
ranny. Their dreams were independ-
ent, and so were their intellectual Iik-
ings. Chang was meditative, and to
Eng fell the duty of answering and re-
answering the innumerable questions of
their visitors.

HER LETTER.


I'm sitting alone by the fire,
Dressed just as I came from the dance,
In robe even you would admire
It cost a cool thousand in France;
Tn be-diaRqnod out Of ell reason,
Ny hair q done up IN queue!
In short, sir, " the belle OF the season
Is wasting an hour on you.
A dozen engagements I've broken;
left IN the midst Of a set;
Likewise proposal, half spoken.
That watson the stairs-for me yet.
They say he'll be rich-when he grows ur-
And then he adOres ne indeed.
And you, sir, are turning your nose mp,
Three thousand miles of, as you read.
" And how do I like my position ?"
. Ana what do think Of New York ?"
And now. in my higher ambition,
With whom DO waltz, fiirt. or talk
" And isn't it nice to have riches,
And diamonds and silks, and all that 2"
Aud aren't It a change TO the bitches
The tunnels Of Poverty Flat?"
Well, yes-if you saw us out driving
Each day in the park, four-in-haud-
II You saw poor mamma contriytng
To look superDatutally grand
II you saw papa's picture, as taken
By Brady, and tinted at that,
You'd never suspect be sold bacon
And -four at Poverty Flat.
And yet, just this moment while sitting
In the glare OF the grand chandelier
In the hustle and glitter behtting
The " finest sOiree Of the year,
In the mists Of a gaze dc chdm6eTV,
And the hum Of the smallest of talk
Somehow, Joe, I thought Of the Ferry"
And the dance that we had on The Fork"
or Harrison's barn, with the muster
of flags festoOned over the wall
OF the candles that shed their soft luster
And tallow on head-dress and shawl;
OF the steps that we took TO one fiddle;
OF the dress OF my queer Uis-d-Uis;
And how once went down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy McGee;
OF the moon that was quietly sleeping
On the hill, when the time cane to go;
OF the few baby peaks that were peePing
From under their bedclothes Of snow;
OF that ride-that to me was the rarest
Of-the something you said at the gate;
All, Joe, then wasn't an heiress
To g the best paying lead in the state"
Well, vel, it's all past /; yet it's funny
To think as stood in the glare
or fashion, and beauty, and money,
That should be thinking. right there
or some one who breasted high water
And swan the North Fork, and all that,
Just TO dance with old Folinsbees daughter,
The Lily Of Poverty Flat.
But, goodness what nonsense I'm writing!
Mamma says my taste still is low,
Instead Of my triumphs reciting,
I'm spooning on Joseph-heigh-ho!
And I'm to be " "iuishsd by travel ~
Whatever's the meaning Of that
Oh, why did papa strike pay gravel
In drifting on Poverty Flat7
Good-night-bere's the end Of my paper;
GOod-night-f the longitude please
For maybe, while wasting my taper,
Your SUMS climbing over the trees.
But know, If you haven't got riches,
And are poor, dearest Joe, and all that,
That my hearts somewhere there in the bitches
And you've struck it-on Poverty Flat.

The Postmaster General on the Frank
ing Privilege.


Thepostmasterg general hasreplied to n
resolution Of the senate with regard to
the franking privilege. He says the
net sales of official stamps for the next
fiscal year to cover transmission of mat
ter formerly sent through the mails
under franks of heads of departments
are estimated at s.. go, ,000 A compar-
isun of the receipts on four items during
the quarter ending Sept. so, 1873, with
those on tho same items for the CORES
ponding quarter of the preceding year,
shows an aggregate increase Of 1,66S,
4i5, and increase, exclusive of official
stamps, of S614, 9l2. Thoroughly i'm
pressed as he is with the belief that the
repeal of tho franking privilege was
wise measure and will be productive of
the best results in the postal service,
he earnestly recommends that il be not
restored until at least n fair trial can be
made. In his last report he recon-
mcnded a reduction of postage on
books to 1 cent for > ounces. If that
suggestion should be adopted, he can
not see why postage should not be paid
on congressional documents, as well as
upon department matter. In case of a
return 10 the distribution of field and
garden seeds and public documents. the
postmaster general recommends that
they be transported as freight in other
than mail cars, He also recommends the
free transportation of weekly newspa-
pers within counties of their publica-
ton, which he before suggested.
The question of tho right of the sec
rctsry of the treasury 10 draw on the
St4, coo, 600 reserve has been discussed
10y the committee on ways and means,
who have agreed to present the subject
20 the house and have it settled there.
They will present a resolution, however,
fixing the limit in national legal tender
currency at S4OO, 600, 600. This will pre-
vent a return to the treasury Of any of
the Si4, 900, 900 that hiss been paid out.
