TARDY JUSTICE,

The Republican majority in the senate
of the United States has belittled itself
for ten yeas past by refusing to allow II
ofbust Chief Justice fancy to be placed
in the Supreme court chamber, along
side of the other distinguished jurists
that had preceded him. Sumner, of
Massachusetts,, was the leader of the
opposition to this measure. Recently,
while he was absent from his seat in
the senate, a bill was brought forward
and passed, providing for doing this
tardy act of justice to one of the most
eminent and purest men that ever
wore the ermine of the United States.
The measure has to pass the house
before it becomes q law.
AS, however, Butler, who seems to
have the house bottled up and under
his control, once ranged politically
with fancy and swore by the bred
Scott decision, 1t is not likely that any
opposition will be made in that body.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-02-06

WE take the following extract from
q letter in the Shreveport Times from
Hon. h. w. Loughrey, late of the JEFF
ferson Times, and now Of the Austin
Statesman. 1t lets us somewhat into
the secret of the defeat of Governor
Throckmorton. The end is not yet /;
the people will have something to say
of this matter yet:
1t is scarcely necessary to write you
anything in relation to what has been
done here. THAT, no doubt, has been
anticipated by telegraph. But cannot
refrain from saying a few words in re-
gard to the election of United States
Senator, which occurred yesterday.
AS you are aware, the veteran Journal
list, Colonel DeMorsc, was Withdrawn
early in the contest. The race was
then between Ex-Governor Throck-
morton, Hon. John II. Reagan, and
General Sam Bell MaXey. The first
named gentlemen were in the lead,
with preponderance in favor of the
ex-governor. But son Tuesday night
the friends of Reagan and Maxey held
II caucus and formed coalition,
which resulted the next day, to the
surprise of every one, in the election
of Maxey, who up to that time had ex-
hibited no great strength, and it was
supposed had been withdrawn. Why
Judge Reagan submitted to such a
result is inexplicablc. The sole pur-
pose Of the caucus was to defeat
Throckmorton, whose election up to
this period seemed certain. When we
consider the eminent services of this
distinguished gentleman, his lifelong
devotion to the interests of the State,
and that he was displaced by federal
power and its bayonets, such treat
ment, 1t occurs to many thinking men
here, was as unjustiliable as it was
reprehensible. Not that Judge Reagan
would not have been acceptable to the
people, or very large portion of
them-it may have been in the end to
a majority of the Legislature-but that
his friends, despairing of his success,
should have thrown their strength to
\ weaker candidate.
