was on his way to W ashington, and
that his mission was to lay before the
National Government his own and his
party's one>sided version of the diff
culties existing in this State with re-
ference to our late elections. Jack
starts out on his infamous mission
loudly disclaiming gubernatorial as
pirations; if he does not entertain
them. and his mission has no refer
ence to g military government in this
State, why say anything about it?
We fear that his declarations bear
but small relation to his intentions.
The prime cause Of his tasty jour
uey to military headquarters seems
to be that the commanderin chiei has
not, up to this time, evinced the in
terest in Texan affairs that the parti-
zars OF anarth by and confusion had
hoped lie would, and courier of high
degree is dispatched to Washington
to spur up this tagging interest and
to furnish facts(H) and data to rouse
the National Government to quick
realization of the perls by which the
Ro 1icals of Texas are envlroned. 1t is
q fearful thing Qor them) that the gov
ernmsnt Of Texas has passed into the
hands Of her intelligent and responsi-
BILE people ana out OF tie hands ofchar-
acter.ess and irresl onsible political
adventurers, whose only interest in the
State is comprised in the tenure of
their stealing facilities.
The presep. is indeed dark day
for the imported cormorants who
have so long fp' upon the vitals OF
a patient and impoverished people.
GRAFT has not, as yet, manifested a
sufficient interest in the perpctuity of
Radical power in Texas, 10 suit Jack
and his party. Probably the Presi-
dent feels that his interest here is
merely constructive, and Is more
highly priced by those who hope to
be benefited by il, Than it is by him-
self. Perhaps the experience he has
gathered on other similar southern
fields, is of such character, as to deter
him from q similar experiment here.
Perhaps the ambition Of the military
suba!tern has been satiated, and lie
is willing now TO lay down the scep-
ire of imperial power, and in conse
qnence does not place so high an
estimate upon Radical success In
Texas, as do those who are to receive
by the contemplated act of high
handed tyranny, new lease of power
and opportunity. Or perhaps some
sentiment of pity for the people who
have patiently born for nearly a de-
cade, the worst indignities that could
be heaped upon them, has penetrated d
through the mail, and softened the
hear: of the stern warrior. Perhaps
he feels strong enough in the repowr
and glory already acquired to exhibit
the disgust he must feel, when cor.
templating the course of his parii
zans in the South, all urrelieved by 6
single act of magnanimous and dis
interested generosity, or even o
common Justice. In either OF
any event, the mission of Hamilton
will prove failure, and the people o
Texas suffered to have-in the fLtur,
