UPON SECOND THOUGHT.

The Democratic White League party
having with alacrity accepted the resigna-
ton which Auditor Clinton rendered to
to the Governor conditionally, it has been
busy canvassing the names of the hungry
legion who are willing to let the Office of
Auditor seek them. Among other ap-
plicants the man most favored for the
position by his party, and we may say the
best Of them, appears to be Colonel Frank
H. Hatch, of Orleans. He was first nomi-
mated by ''Vox Populi, in the columns Of
the Bulletin, and was warmly indorsed
by the Picay,sne with ''immovable
neutrality fervor. Prospects for Hatch
ing new Auditor seemed fattering until
the de facto fever seized the Bulletin yester-
day evening. This complaint breaks out
on the White League body periodically.
When favors are denied to "color line"
men by State officials, straightway the
officer is called de facto. 1t is very severe,
and in the absence of better tribunal,
satisfies the street corner crowds who pass
judgement in cases of contested election
To such congregated gentlemen mob law
is more congenial than Supreme Court
decisions. These gentlemen address, the
Governor as "Kellogg, the usurper," and
even while one of their loud mouth
pieces insult him in his Office, they ask
the favor of making the Governors ap-
pointments for him. When all asked for
is not granted, they say he is not Governor,
''nohow."
So now after preparations have been
made for electing Mr.. Clinton's successor,
it occurs to the legal mind Of the Bulletin
that Clinton never was Auditor, that he is
de facto, that he can not resign from a
position he does not hold, that James
Graham is Auditor just as much as John
McEnery is Governor, that if Mr. Clinton
goes out of the Office he is not in, Mr..
Graham would naturally fall back upon
the position he did not hold. In view of
all the facts in the case the Bulletin is of
the opinion that the Democrats should
made no nomination for Auditor. We
agree with the Bulletin in it's latter con-
cluSiOr,

SERIOUS RIDICULE.

There is no use to protest against de-
served ridicule, though when we see such
a scathing sarcasm as the following, from
the st. Louis Democrat, relative to the
scenes that transpired at public execu-
ton in Texas, we feel like asking our
neighbors to spare the ignorant from such
merciless shafts. As most of the news
from the South received in great Northern
cities relates to outrages and acts of vio-
lence against the person, the recitals be-
come monotonous, and can only be made
readable by intermingling little fancy in
the narrative. How far the Texans who
attended the execution of Bly, deserve
such a showing up we leave others to
judge. We are reminded, however, that
it is not on our neighbors, but ourselves,
that we must depend for reputation:
Texan executions are generally of the
unprecedented, al fresco variety, but can
dor compels the admission that when they
do hang a man after publishing the banns,
they spare no effort to make the perform
ance perfect in every respect and detail.
Mr.. Ely BLY,, of Jacksboro, has just been
choked according to previous appointment,
for beating out the brains Of trader
named Carmichael, and not q single
feature was omitted that might conduce
to the pleaure and comfort of all concerned.
Mr.. Bly, made q praiseworthy departure
from the beaten track of precedent by
declining to glory extensively over less
fortunate Christians upon the scaffold, and
the sheriff omitted to bungle his work in
any manner. Men, women and children
came in from distance of thirty or forty
miles, and camped round the cout thouse in
their tilt wagons. The father Of the murdered
man (whO had assisted at the trial, hired an
extra guard for the condemned cell and
ridden forty miles to town every week to
see that the chain by which Mr.. BLY, was
fastened to post was not tempered with
was present, armed with Sharp's rifle
Beside him, at the foot of the scatfold, in
q reserved front seat, were ranged his
wife, sOn-in law and three daughters.
The girls were handsome, educated
and accomplished, the old man having
once been worth several hundred thousand
dollars. The youngest gave IN after the
death warrant was read and went away
without stopping for dessert, but the others
sat out the show with symptoms of marked
qualification. After the performance was
over Mr.. Carmichael obtained the knot, and
after exhibiting it to his friends for some
hours took it home and probably, to quote
from Mark Antony

As these were the opposing candidates
and the one received the highest and thu
other the lowest number of votes cast
the Inference is fair one that the aggre
gate represents the total in the ward. h
1872, when we had a man at the head Of
affairs who thoroughly understood thu
art of counting, the Fusion vote in thu
same ward was 214. Doubtless this mum,
Der was more than the party was entitled
to- But we now find that the strength i
nearly doubled. Whether Mr.. OGDEN
or Mr.. LAWYERS friends are responsible
for this wonderful increase remains
