fact that nearly everything in our
country has in some way, directly or
indirectly, been controlled by brides.
Mechanics, overseers, builders, con-
tractors, architects have been bribed.
Constables, policemen, collectors, in
spectors, weighers, measurers, gaugers,
postmasters have been bribed Law
yers, doctors, chemists, ANALYSTS, sur
geons, witnesses have been bribed.
Judges, juries, Legislators, governors
have been brlbed. We have some
times feared that it would be difficult
to place stone, or timber, or lock,
or - screw, or nail in your house that
has not somewhere in its passage left
the stain OF bride. 1t is doubtful
whether the food which supports our
lives, or the collins which will convey
us to our grave, can wholly escape con-
tamination.
The consequence is disturbed faith in
each other, and sometimes distrust of
our country and humanity, with fear
like shadow TINT on all modern
European and American societies is
but the old doom of ancient Babylon
and Rome. Our faith alone saves from
despair. That is sufficient, but not
here to be discussed. Certain is it that
panics and the other evils we have
named are but eruptions of disease on
the surface of the body polite. Our
nation from our civil war has been
preparing for our recent commercial
disasters. The timbers of the edilice
of our public credit had been decaying
long before the weakened structure was
threatened with its crash, Many under
lying sands must be washed away to
make the mountain fall.--[The Inter-

The formation of q historical associ-
alton under the best auspices, augurs
well for Texas. Judge Roberts was cor
rect when he said the history of statels
one of its most valuable treasures. The
early pioneers of Texas have fearlessly
submitted their actions to the scrutiny
of the world, and verdict will be rem
dered in due time. AS yet all the evil
dence has not been brought out, and
until it is, full justice cannot be ac-
corded to the men who placed the en-
pire rs large as France within the cir
Gle of freedom, civilization and pro-
gress. 1t is the province of the histor-
zeal association to collect, arrange and
perpetuate the facts which will place
the memory of the fathers of Texas in
bold relief before the world Austin
Statesman.

The veto of the imitation bill by the
president is a glorious surprise. Moth
ing General Grant has ever done as
president will so rebound to his fame.
Nothing he could now do could be of
such an evidence of true greatness as
he has thus shown. We are no politi-
cal admirer of General Grant, no polit-
zeal friend of his administration. But
for such acts as this, we shall not only
not hesitate, but shall eagerly jump at
chance, to praise.
Consider the clamor he has been OBJ
liged to withstand. Consider that, in
this veto, he goes in the face of u ma
jority of his political friends Consider
that he goes for the democratic finan-
cial principle rather than for that of
federalism. He has done noble,
good thing, and we give him our
hearty support in it. He has shown IA
regard for the conservative views of
the best men of the country, and he
deserves the thanks of all parties. He
hes adhered to his own formally an
nounced views, and is'entitled to credit
for consistency and finally, he has set
his shoulder to the wheel of progress
towards resumption OF specie pay
ments, and he must be sustained by
the whole country Houston Tele-
graph.
