AFFAIRS IN TEXAS

The San Antonio CTexas) Express comes
to us, its columns filled with specifications
and charges of an arraignment of Governor
Coke's administration. 1t says the State
''is overrun with violence, lawlessness,
"bloodshed, murder, assassination and the
' killing of helpless prisoners by bloody
minded mobs Bell, Coke's banner
county, leads in this rule of the wealth,
Intelligence and virtue of the State, that
"is, the rule of the Coke mob, for every
desperate voted for him. They break
down the jail door in Belton, and shoot
Ito death nine helpless prisoners confined
"in the dungeon. War between rival mobs
is being waged in various counties, men
without number are being murdered, and
'mobs murder as many more, under the
"pretence of preserving order. And now,
"to crown all, the Coke mob in Bolton
"way-lay, on Sabbath night, the presiding
"elder Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
land seize and mob him. This is done
Immediately after he has taken tea with

land returned home with him. They thus
"insult him, and intimate to him that he
associates with man only fit to be mobbed
"and drowned like dog" -... r.. .a
The ESpFess adds: What can be said
against the Ku-Klux law now2 What will
f.be the opinion of the North and of Eu.

are ready, to receive al immigrants with

'fhese troubles 'fomented by the Radiealsf'
''Whst now can be said about Radical lies
TO iniure the State abroadF, What now
''can, be said about the infamy of Radical
calls for military protectionS'" And then
goes on to relate Characteristic Texas in
eident. embracing information regarding
certain suit in court against some insis-
nifcant individual charged with keeping q
disorderly house, during which evidence
was offered and ruled out, showing that
respectable people, including Gov. Coke,
were in the habit Of visiting the house in
question.
Choice reading Of this kind may do very
well in the far-of plains of the Lone Star
State; but it sounds strangely enough here.
We do not doubt, however, that but one
half of the truth is disclosed regarding the
facts in the case. 1t is true that Coke was

we have quoted reminds US of those good
old days before the war, when the Rich
mond journals and the Virginia statesmen"
threatened the Northern ''mudsillsp with
war and secession if they dared to interfere
with the sacred institution of slavery. 1t
is spark of the old fire which still smould-
ers in the Virginia breast. The Wing is,
however, correct in its estimate of some of
the Northern journals which are just now
prating so glibly about principle, " notably
of the Tribune. If there is paper in the
country which has been shorn of its influ-
enca during the last two years It is the
journal founded by Horace Greeley. To be
sure, it is still great newspaper, and will
probably always remain so, but it no longer
influences party or the most Insignificant
part of party. In scientific and other
matters which belong to the class journals
it has done some important work and has
been of some use, perhaps. 1t is an author
ity upon Coggia's comet, and upon the best
way to raise babies; but it is powerless in
politics, in the government of the State,
which is the highest duty of the citizen.
In that field it has no principles, does not
pretend to have any. Animated by blind,
unreasoning hostility to Gen. Grant and the
party whose existence and success is the
living, speaking evidence of the Tribuns'S s
weakness, It's printed for apparently no pur-
pose except to spread scandal and defama-

country as no man has been honored since
Washington, whose achievements will live
through all time. The Tribune has placed
itself in the unfortunate position where it
can be vindicated only by his destruction,
and the Whig is right in implicitly de-
nouncing that position as without either pa
triotism or principle.

TIE THIRD TERM IN VLPGlNLL

THE THIRD TERN IN VIRGINIA.
The Richmond Whig fairly blazes with
the third term; more, however, as a de-
fance and a menace to the Northern jour
mails and politicians than anything else. II
says: "Kemper's letter, plainly setting
forth very good reasons why the South
would gladly continue a good and honest
''President-one who faithfully administers
''the Constitution and laws to the very great
''rclief ofan oppressed people-for three or
''even seven terms, rather than submit to a
government that denied us equality and
fright under the Constitutions attracting
"a little attention at the North. The wise
''Tribune of New York does not like it, and.
''as is often the case with persons who don't
Like things, proceeds to disparage the Gov
''ernor, his talents, his style and even goes
$50 far as, TO cast q little ridicule upon our
people, representing them as having idle
''timc and prone to politics, ?, &c. Our co.
temporary then goes on to ask how much
''prinCiple" is there among the Northern
politicians; will not the five loaves and
'Iwo fishes define them to be Just seven
''and no MoTe;' and tells them, all this:
That there is question Of the welfare Of
'The country that will override all their
'1K.Ie schemes A people who have been
'trodden into the dust--a country that has
been piIlagsd andoppressed, &c, may well

that he was opposed by Northern residents
in the State and that he owes his election
entirely to the support which he received
from the Democracy, and we are conse-
quently forced to accept him as fitting
representative of that party. he is. after
all, a type of certain class Of American
politicians. In New. York he would rank
with Jim Fisk and Boss Tweed, and in
South Carolina with Gov. Frank Moses, but
in Texas he is merely Democratic Gov

Is IT NOT about time to have an end OF

So far as we are able to judge we can see
no reason whatever to justify the course Of
Tilton If 1t was matter which at all in
teresLed the public he should have made
his exposure long ago. We have always
entertained a high respect for Mr.. Beecher,
but in this matter there is evidently skele-
ton in the closet. However, we cannot see
much good in exposing it now. The cause
of morality and of religion has been done
infinite harm in the whole affair, and the
sooner Tilton and his friends stop stirring
it up and the newspapers cease writing
about it the better.

The fact that the Coarisr-Jour,.dl supported
two years ago the Liberal Republican move
meht, and is now shouting for the old Democ-
racy, has inspired one or two of the lesser Dem
ocratic organs to accuse 1t of inconsistency,
whereupon the JournoI asks: 'Shall we 60 rub
bing our backs against the rotten remains OF
old tumbled-dowC partisan esrthworks, like
NANCY dog2 We do not pretend to foretell
facts. They are in their order presented to US.
We suit our action to them" This is q little
vague and incoherent, Does the CoiEricr-JoUr-
nal mean to say that the bright, beautiful thing
which came into existence and was christened
Liberal Repubhcanism has so soon become
"rotten remains" against which 1t would not
even rub its NANCY back, If It were NANCY
dogl The thought is really sad. And yet we
cannot, for the life of US, see any other mean

York and Chicago, say when they hear this

but the enemy seems to have obtained posses

will become of the country?
