Slavery in Texas.
capers.

Our people outside of that State will, no
doubt, be startled and shocked at the an
nouncement of the fact that slavery, even
chattel slavery, still exists within the bor-
ders of Texas.
Whatever may be the difficulties of a social
and political nature which stand in the way
of colored men who try to drag this evil into
the consuming light of reconstruction, it is
certain that with the enforcement act in his
hands, and United States troops at his COM
mand, the United States Marshall of that
State should be able to put stop to the
horrible system now practised upon the poor,
ignorant and defenseless colOrcd people OF
large portion of Texas.
1t may, sometimes, be necessary to use
soldiers, to pull down or set up governments
under the decree of a Federal Court, or it
may not be; but there can be no doubt
about the validity of military in Interference in
pulling down the last defiling and destroying
customs, that grow out of slavery, which
NAV linger in the out of the-way places of
the South.
We earnestly call the attention of the
members of the Cabinet to the fact, that
since the restoration Of Democratic rule in
Texas, many of our people are openly held
as slaves who have no other hope Of release
than by Federal interference.

The Massachusetts Senatorial
Folly.

The Republican party of Massachusetts are
just now enjoying, in full fruition, the bless
ings that independence of party obligations
and party trammels which demagogues who
change to be in the minority, so loudly
preach. When the seat of Mr.. Sumner be-
came vacant, the Republican members of the
Legislature saw that there was a beautiful
chance to show their contempt for party Or
ganizaton and all party machinery, and to
elect Senator after their own heart. SO
they refused TO 90 into caucus to make a
nomination, and decided to go into the fight
without organization, without any plan of
action, and in utter ignorance of their own
strength Or that Of their opponents. So they
begun the contest like an undisciplined army,
Or more like mere mob, and have been
voting every man on his own hook for the
last two weeks or more. And at this pres
ent writing they are no nearer the end Of the
struggle, so far as we can judge, than they
were the day they begun. If they had gone
into 4 caucus and made nomination, Sem
ator would have been elected the next day.
But then they would have sacrificed their
independence by yielding to the wishes
of the majority, and they might possibly have
chosen man to whom Gen. Butler is favor
able. This would have been fatal to their
pride and dignity, and so the State goes only
half represented.

Thc .o. I'D Men Of Alabama.

The Equal Rights Association, of Ala
bama. has published an address to the colored
people of the State, which contains many
sound practical suggestions. They declare
that they deprecate the idea of white or
colored mans government. We regard, they
say, "such as greatly detrimental to the in
terest of the Commonwealth, and which, if
sought to be established, would entail untold
misery and curses upon its citizens, and be
attended with such scenes of bloodshed and
violence as would shock humanity and cause
the world to stand aghast. In this connec-
ton we would urge upon you to observe the
same discretion and precaution in your future
course of conduct as you have in the past. =
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in their address to the people, charge
us with having brought about the present de-
pressed and embarrassed state of affairs :;
that through corruption, misrule, and fraud
we have reduced the people to starvation
and want that we are seeking to establish
negro supremacy in order to effect their OPP
preston by burdensomc and unjust taxation !;
that we have elevated corrupt and selfish
men to positions of profit and trust that we
have no care for the interest and prosperity
of the State, and that the result Of the pes
ent Government, if continued, will be to
bankrupt the State and sink it into irretrieye-
able ruin all of which is charged to our
recklessness and incompctency. While we
know that these statements are absolutely
false, and cannot be supported by even the
least sembance Of truth, yet we regard an
open vindication Of our character and nteg-
rty as essential under existing circumstances,
and therefore call upon you to express,
through your representatives., in convention,
the just Indignation that you evidently lnust
fecl'

The Cotton CrGp.

The English cotton dealers whose enormous
interest long since caused them to cease de-
pending on Southern reports, and led them to
employ their own agents through the South
ern States to obtain exact information by
travelling through them, and examining all
the sources of supply. estimate the total crop
for the last year at 4 $50 900 bales. These
agents report that this season, the northern
cotton belt has grown an extraordinary
quantity OF cotton, especially in North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Arkansas. In that belt
the use offertilizers has been general and the
resulting growth was most extraordinary, the
crop having doubled within the last few years,
and being now greater than it was before the
civil war;. In the southern cotton belt cotton
cultivation suffered because the planters,
who do business chiefly on credit could not
raise money readily to pay their hands, in
consequence Of the panic revulsion, and the
ensuing season diminished area will be
planted. This system Is not in vogue in the
northern belt, where the labor is chiefly
white, the farms small, aud the farmers them
selves work in the field with their families.

that the gentlemen who have entered upon
this noble enterprise, and who have mscllish-
ly devoted their energies and labor to its
success, merit better treatment than they
have received at the hands of our National
Legislature. 1t was not suspected that sec
tonal Jealousy would have operated to crush
out or impair the usefulness Of this EXhbi-

been lifted in true Ishmaelitish fashion
against Philadelphia, and the prospect is far
from encouraging. The total want of patri-
otto feeling shown in the Senate debates on
this subject, is truly notifying and should
the enterprise fail, the golden opportunity to
compare our industries and resources with
those of other nations, we fear will be ire
trievably lost, at least for many years to
come.

E2toys Netc National Era:
SIR: \ our editorial mention in last weeks
issue that the colored people do not properly
sustain the "New National Era" in its ef-
forts and labOrs to promote and advance the
ton or knowledge | had that our people
Were not sustaining it, and required stirring
up in support of Il paper which every cO!ored
man can and ought to point to with pride
The manner and language of your illusions
to the fact, are so courteous and yet so plain,
that | am sure they will have good effect
upon those whom you desire to reach, and
bring many subscribers to your present list
y year ago, Mr.. Sella Martin was here, in
the interest of the New National Era - |
rendered him valuable service, and through
my influence and efforts he secured substan-
tlal aid to your paper. Some of those who
subscribed at that time are not getting the
paper now, the time having expired short
while ago. But il YOU could send that gem
tleman or Il good man like HIM here, | will
help him to get subscribers to your journal.
| am sorry to see that everything is not
lovely and of good report in feeling concern
ng this paper; it is a good and well con-
Quoted journal, and we, as a race, should take
more than ordinary pride and interest in
keeping it as a wig liant Waterman" upon the
outer walls Of the civil and political camps,
to do battle in behalf of right. What we
want is not chickering's among our leaders,
but an earnest, persistent, and united using
oil commendablc forces, against common
enemy.
(Send Us good man.
Respectfully,
WM. F. TAYLOR.

Abuse Of Gem. Butler.

There is something in the bitter hatred
shown towards Gen. Butler by many influen-
tai Republican papers and politicians tina t
we don't understand. 1t can hardly be
because he chances to differ from them on
certain public questions. And yet that is
the only reason we can discover, unless it be
to prove that they are not to be outdone on
independence and scurrilty by their
Democratic contemporaries. Gen. Butler is
quite as true to the principles of the party
as the ablest and most Jealous of them, and
quite as honest a man politically or person
ally as any OF his puritanical assailants. He
has rendered as valuable services, both to
the country and party, as the most
distinguished of them. Whatever the cause,
we believe the abuse heaped upon him as
unjust as it is mean, aud that just to the OK
tent they weaken the influence of Gen.
Butler, they damage the Republican party
and its principles.

South Carolina.

WEpublish in another column the reply OF
the State Central Committee of the Rcpubli-
can party of South Carolina to the memor-
al to Congress of the so-called taxpayers Of
South Carolina.
1t will be remembered that certain citizens
OF South Carolina, styling themselves the
Taxpayers, called convention in that State
recently, and resolved to petition Congress
for redress Of their grievances, and that in
accordance with that resolution committee
Is now here in Washington, bearers of the
petition.
Ihey have presented their petition to Con-
gress and it has been referred to the Judi
ciary Committee by both the Houses. The
committee of the House referred the subject
to subcommittee, consisting of Messrs.
Tremaine, Eldridge, and White.
The subcommittee has heard the so.called
taxpayers present their side of the case, and
has also heard the committee of the Repub-
lican party, who have been sent with the
reply" which we publish to-day.
We publish this 'reply," not only because
it is complete answer in itself from the Re-
publican party Of South Carolina. but also
because of the injustice with which the Re-
publican party of that State has been treated
by the Associated Press" and newspapers
generally throughout the country.
The "memorial' of the taxpayers has
been telegraphed in full by the Associated
Press" wiItout cost, to almost every newspa-
per in the country, and published by them in
full but the ''reply'' Of the Republican par
ty was refused by the Associated Press"
though the Republicans offered to pay any
price for what was done for the taxpayers
gratuitously.
. This attempt of the old State's-right men
of South Carolina to get Congress to inter
fere to restore them to power, shows to what
lengths they will so to regain control.

Words of Concentration.

We call special attention to the kind
words spoken of us by our readers. Last
week we published a long string of testi-
monials grateful to US by reason of the warm
sympathies and ardent desires conveyed. We
trust we shall have frequent opportunities of
recording the estimation in which we are
held by our numerous readers; and yet we
supplemented by good deeds before our
beloved JDUaol Ufor we confess it is dear to
us,) is on the footing we would like to see it.
Let us hear from YOU friends, through both
pen and purse.

The Real En- cnlIes Of the Eee rub!i-
can Party.

The temper with which many Republican
papers, which are in favor of a resumption
of specie payments, discusses that question
is as disgraceful to their editors aud as unjust
to those who differ from them, as it is inju-
rious to the Republican party. 1t seems to
have turned their blood into gall and their
tongues in to vipers. No consideration of de-
cency. fair-dealing, Or expediency has any
influence with them. Republicans of the
highest character and the most patriotic re-
cord, are assailed with ferocity and vindic-
tiyeness seldom exceeded by the most viru-
lent Democratic papers toward their oppo-
nents, while the most iulsome praise is
lavished on enemies Of the Republican party
and the Administration, who happen to agree
with them on this question of resumption.
Carl Schurz, whose treason to his princi-
pies aud his party two years ago, was so
strongly and bitterly denounced by these
Republican papers, now becomes demi-goI
in their estimation, and they are hanging on
his neck in an ecstasy of delight, "beslajbe,-
ing" him with drilling commentator.
Even Fernando Wood has become a patriot
and statesman, compared with such men as
Morton. and Logan, and Ferry. They ridi-
culed and abused alternately, and no means,
however contemplate, is left untried to
make all Republicans odiOus who have the
harlihood to differ from them OH this great
and complicated and inexplicable subject of
finance.
These papers seem quite ready to endanger
the ascendancy Of the Republican party and
throw the control of the Government again
into the hands Of the Copperhcad Democ-
racy, if need be, to secure the resumption of
specie payments and prevent the expansion
of the currency. AT. any rate, they hold
out the threat that, if Congress dare disre-
gard their commands on this subject, the
Republican party will be destroyed. They
assume that they are the people, and that
wisdom will die with them.
They are the real aud the worst enemies
of the party. With few exceptions, they are
the same papers that for years have been
labOring to undermine the confidence of the
people in Congress, the Administration, and
nePuphCahishh, ny the noSt persistent ana
inscriptions charges of fraud, corruption,
incompetency, and bad faith. Perhaps the
course they are pursuing is sound policy.
Perhaps the people will sustain them in their
malignant abuse of long-tried, faithful, and
able Republicans, for no other reason than a
difference Of opinion on a subject that the
most eminent fnancicrs and wisest states
men differ upon. But we doubt it.

To the New National Era

To the Ne,c National Era:
Sir: | have been q constant reader for
nearly year, and know Of no journal on
this continent as much devoted to the wei
fare of the colOred man as your own dear
columns; so take the liberty TO write YOU,
and tell YOU from my own personal observa-
ton as soldier, you are doing much good to
the colored soldiers stationed along the south
ern frontier Your paper is read every week,
and is considered by those who read it, the
best paper ever published in the interest of
the colorcd mans rights. 1t is a paper that
should be read by all who can read to those
who cannot, they should subscribe, and have
it read to them. In my travels | some
times meet q colored soldier, and if thinker,
he desires some reading matter, and when
asked what kind preferred, his answer is
simply this "a New NATIONAL Era" |
can say from my own little personal knowl-
edge that your paper is spoken of as being
unsurpassed.
| could write you often on subjects that
tend to the progress OF my race, but not be-
ing accustomed to express my views through
a paper, remain silent.
Very respectfully, your ob't sery't,

DRYDEN, y. Y, April IL, 1874.

NJ. Frederick Douglass, Jr.:
DEAR SIR: deeply sympathize with you
and the work in which you and your brother
are engaged. | regret very much to find such
a Jealous disposition maniest ted towards you,
by some OF the colored people at Washington,
more especially those who pretend to lead
the van in that city, but am aware that
much good will come out of the chaos when
you get through wedding out some of the
dmmed and lustreless ones, who wish to run
your paper. The people will still stand by
you, and | am in hopes that every colored
man who can, will put his shoulders to the
wheel and render that assistance which is so
much needed. Now is the time for the young
men OF the north and other sections, to come
to the front and support our only ''colored
national paper at the seat Of government,
where it can do so much good.
Enclosed you will find my check for one
years subscription. May your shadow never
grow less. Stick to your colors and face
your foes.
Yours Fraternally,
VIM. II. LESTER.
