GOVERNOR: Your telegram of yester-
day stating that according to the Consti-
tuition of Texas you were Governor until
the 28th of April next, and that the Hon
Richard Coke has been inaugurated, and
will attempt to seize the Governors office
and buildings, and calling upon the Presi-
dent for military assistance has been re-
| ferred by him to me, and | am instructed
to say that, after considering the fourth
section of Article of the Constitution of
Texas, providing that the Governor shall
hold his Office for the term of four years
from the date of his installment, under
which you claim, and Sec. of the election
declaration attached to said Constitution,
under which you were chosen, and which
provides that their State and other officers
elected hereunder shall hold their respec-
tivee Offices for the term of years prescrib-
ed by the Constitution, beginning from the
day Of their election, under which the Gov
ernor-elect claims Office and more than
four years having expired since your elec-
ton, he is of opinion that your right to the
Office of Governor at this time is at least SO
doubtful that he does not feel warranted in
furnishing United States troops to aid you
in holding further possession of it, and he
therefore declines to comply with your re-

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH-In point

philosopher has maintained, that to pursue
health-bodily health, that isis the main

health be itself virtue, the attainment and
the possession of health conduce in a de-
gree most remarkable, if not to virtue, at
least to clearness of thought, to soundness
of judgement and general prudence of con-
duct-which are commodities much more
marketable than virtue is. Now the two
great conditions of health are abundant

The White Leagues of the Red River
parishes are giving fresh proof every
week of their intention to endeayOr
to carry the November election by
intimidation and force of arms. The
madmen who are leading this damna-
BILE movement should understand that
it can not, must not and shall not
succeed. If they think the powers that
be will stand idly by aud witness such
a foul outrage as one class of citizens
excluding another class from the free
exercise of the right of suffrage, then
the sooner they become disabused of
the fatal nisapprelension the better.
They are sowing the seeds Of discord,
and if their blood-stained hands. are
not stayed they will reap the whirl-
wind of destruction. If the Demo-
Gratis of this State can out vote the
Republicans in fair and square cleo
ton, they are welcome to the victory,
but violence will not carry the day,
and an armed and reckless minority
can not override the Republican ma
jOrity.

A Republican nass-mecting was
held at the old Colsst. House, in st.

able addresses were delivered by the
three asriraats Tor Cnngsess Hons. T.
Morris Chester, T. B. Stamps and Fl.
G. Dibble, Senator Pinchback and j.
b. Lott, Esq. All the distinguished
speakers were in their happiest vein,
and their eloquent appeals in behalf
of Republicanisn met with hearty re-
sponses from the assemblage. We
regret that lack of space prevents us
from giving synopsis Of the speeches
and detailed report of the proceed
ings of the meeting. The chairman
was Hon. P. Landry, with Messrs. II.
Cohen of st. James and L. E. Bentley
of Ascension as secretaries. Resolu-
tons indersing Mr.. Landry for Sena-
tor and T. Morris Chester, Esq. for
Congressman were adopted without
opposition. Ex-senator o. F. Hun
saker was introduced as a speaker,
but Immediately a disturbance was
raised and he was forced to retire. It
was rot. difficult to perceive that the
war of factions still RACES in st. James,
and that while the Republicans of the
parish are united in their support of
the Senatorial nominee they are toss
ing madly upon the sea of dissension
respecting local issues and in score
of boats, each little ward politician

lowers, at variance with every body

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

4 FEW THINGS FROM MANY PLACES.
WE GET AWAY FROM WASHINGTON.
SILVER SrRlNG, r. L., July. 1874.
EDIroR CHIEF:
The desire to leave Washington
came upon us, and we left, SO the
reader who is looking for the usual
resume of Washington news will be
disappointed.
The American pc Ople have one
growing desire be somewhere else;
but we Washingtonians who find the
thermometer 90 degrees at midnight
have q better reason for onr desire
than most people, and can be pardoned
for wishing to renew our acquaintance
with blankets aud comforters. We
left on the 18th of July, and found it
hot in Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, but on the Sound steamer
it was ceei aud refreshing to o degree
that was grateful beyond expression.
4 We white to caavey infomafibn,
let us sag that when one wishes to
get away from Washington in sum
mer aud so North, there are many
ways. You can go down the Potomac
in New York steamer, or in the "Lady
of the Lake. which connects at Nor
folk with the Boston and Providence
steamers. BY these lines you can
enjoy the sea air and learn all that
is known of sea-sickness, and all that
you care to learn. You can take either
of the railways to Baltimore and
from thence embark on the Boston
or Providence steamers, going down
Chesapeake Bay, or you can take the
boat to Philadelphia, which gives yea
pleasant sail On the bay dnring the
aftesaoaa cad lanaaya in the Quaker
City at eight in the morning.
You can also so by the usual rail.
way trains, naeraiag, moan and night,
or by the New York Limiled Express
at nine A. NJ. This is the finest train
in America, all Pullman Palace ears,
running through in seven hours, but
the fare Is ten dollars, against seven
fifty on all others trains.
Not liking the sea and wishing to
get cooling breeze as soon MS pos
sibie, we took the little Philadelphia
boat at Light street wharf, aud in Just
two hours after leaving Washington,
were afioat on the bay aud In full
enjoyment of a breeze whose memory
will bring contentment for year to

doubt it would have been a pleasing
change for the Indians.
Once in fifteen or twenty miles we
would make up to little wharf and

chiefly blackberries, and the meanest
apples we ever saw. At these places
there would be three or four. houses
partly concealed by trees, and the
inhabitants, people, dogs, horses and
cows, all turned out to look at us.
Some of the girls were quite comedy,
neat little Huldas, but the 'Zekels
were mostly shabby, with long,
uneombed locks, and a rustieity as
decided as the underbrush which
surrounded their huts. Still tho girls
seemed to enjoy looking at the beat
in company with them, and laughed
at their jokes as intelligently as bellies
do at Washington receptions. The
horses and colts came down in
small droyes, walked into the wafer
to their bellies, and then ekambered
mp the steep bank on their return
with a snort and kicking of heels
worthy of free beasts in free eossn-
try,
At ten p. NJ. We reached the canal,
