One thing which plesses rs With Governor
Colze's administration Is the fact that he Il
calling around him. % aid him in the direc-
ton Of public Affairs, men distinguished
Tor their virtues and their abilities. No
executive officer who failed 20 do this,
either in the national or State governments,
have ever succeeded. That narrow con,
tractsd policy, which e unWorthily Jealous
Of ability, and gives prominence 70 medic
Gritty, has been universally failure. We
are rejoiced ct his course. Il has pro
foundly impressed Us. It win have an In
huence, not only upon our own State, but
upon the Union. Already We perceive L.
In that thoughtful deliberatiOn Of public
affairs, which l. exhibited at Washington,
among leading statesmen, in which the Id
sane policy in regard TO the Southern States
IS seriously canvassed. Public men begin
70 ask themselves "whither Is the country
driftingG" Louisiana, Alabama, South
Carolina and Mississippi are awakening to
. new life and new hope, and inspired by
tho sentiments Of tho Republican press,
which seems TO realize that the country has
been drifting towards ruin, financially,
commercially, and politically, rebuke the
spirit Of intolerance at home, and the dis
honesty Of those who have converted the
most prolific portion Of the Republic almost
into q charnel house.
Governor Coke has exhibited his ex-
cellent common sense in all Of his ap-
pOintments, but il none moro conspic-
uouSly than in the one among the most init
mats connected with his administration.
Andhe not only selected him from one Of
the most remote counties in tho State, but
the once was unsolicited. With that intu-
itive sense Of true merit, It was rendered him,
aud although with a large practice, more
lucrativethan the Office, Capt. DeBeuy, as a
true patriot, accepted it. The Office sought
theman. Every one who has yisited;his de-
partment, sees the extraordinary change that
has been made. There Is order, system, and
industry, and an evidently sedulous care Of
the public interests. -
We hare known Capt. DeBeny for over
twenty years. He Is not only an able law
yer, but one Of the abIest IN the east,
and possesses smind well stored with infor-
nation; but better than oil, he is an honest,
pure man. This should be the character Of
those who are called to position, and partic-
ulaFly at this time, after period of NAL
=.
administration and official corruption. We
geioiced At his nomination, and VIC are
deeply grAtiAed that he Is filing the full
maaanTe AZ ua,l,Iic eynsctation. ~.

We alluded In previous articIe, intended
simply as compliment to Capt. Del3erry,
that thecountEy was drifting towards peace.
The entire Union, easbracing every section,

Of the solution ol the problem Of true gov
eminent. That sectionalism which had no
basis except In fanaticism and hatred, is
passing away. WessjOiCe TO recognize the
fact that the virtue and intelligence Of true
men ere asserting their moral power.
The period Of doubls-dealing and policy,
which Compensated compromise with

pose and an exalted npatriotism, the

THE Galveston Nesus contains an account
of a shooting affair between two newspaper
men at Memphis, one reporter of the Ard-
ld7lche and the other an attaehe of the Regis
ter. Our contemporary complains of their
bad shooting, as neither of them were hurt.
Surely he did not desire either of them to
be killed or wounded. If he did, it was
very unkind. But they ought to be both
dismissed in disgrace. If newspaper
writer does not understand the manner OF
dealing in animadversions without subject
ing himself to personal account, he is a
novice in his profession.

THAT pattern of imbecility and impecu-
mostly, the Journal and that Oleaginous
compound Of fairness and hatulency, the
Gazette, harp, day after day, on the chicken
pie STATESMAN. One would think they did
not relish ''chicken pie, as they term it,
and that the very thought of it nauseated
their delicate stomachs. We are not sur
prised at the Gazette, which has only smelt
the savory repast afar of, and, as Bohe-
milan, is not entitled to any; but the Journal,
that for four years has plundered the public
treasury, and enjoyed repast Of rich Vi
ands, such as viii never be realized in
Texas again, tits most extraordinary. This
is curious world, and the more VIC think
about such people, the more We are aston
ished and amused.

EVERYTHING connected with Davis or his
administration seems to be IN collapse,
even his German journal, the TeSds Stats
Zeitung, which worked hard to make him
an honest Governor, has given up the ghost.
In its last editorial it says, that the Germans
of Austin do not deserve German paper, as
not only their passive but their direct OPP
position to the paper compelled the manage
ment to stop its issue. We do not believe
this Of our German fellow-citizens, for a
good newspaper will find enough of friends
to sustain it, but the majority of our Ger
mans are not Radicals, and therefore the
collapse of the Stats Zeitung. Collapsed,
collapsed, collapsed But if it were hon
est and true, the people would sustain it.

In reply to the inquiry Of Senator Russell
as to why the inaugural addresses in German
and Spanish had not been delivered to the
Senate we have to say, that about half of the
German edition has already been delivered,
and the rest are now ready. The Spanish edi
ton is printed and win be out of the binders

Ireland's additional inquiry as to the reason
why the English edition was not ready, we have
to say that it is ready, and several thousand
copies, at the time the inquiry was made, were
stored in one of the wardrobes in the Senate
Chamber, and more thant this, have been lying
there at least one week. Senator Irelands at
tention was at once called to the fact as stated.

Confederate States and their Constitution,

81, 236, 116
/, This amount, except, perhaps, $iOO, 900,
is due, and its holders are entitled to de-
mand it now, at the. counter of the treas
ury; and the balance will be due In March
and September next To meet it, as well
as the expense attending the session of the
Fourteenth Legislature, and that to be in
CURED in maintaining such a system OF
frontier defense as may be established, your
honorable bodies must provide.
The amount of State tax assessed for the
year 1873 was 81, 113, $50. OF this amount,
| am informed by the Comptroller, that
$311, 100 has been paid into the treasury ;
leaving a balance of $500, 700 still to be
collected and paid in. One-fourth Of that
amount, when collected, belongs to the
school fund, which, being taken of, leaves
5000, 143. Deduct from this amount twenty
per cent. to cover delinquencics and losses,
which, / am informed by the Comptroller,
is less than the per cent. lost for several
years past, and balance Of $4S1, ia is left,
which will be paid into the treasury be-
tween this and the first of September next,
for general revenue purposes. A small
amount, which cannot well be estimated,
but which past experience leads me to be-
lieve viii be insignificant, may be expected
from back taxes and delinquent sheriffs.
In the meantime, the ordinary current ex-
penses of the government, until the first Of
September next, nearly seven months,
amounting, say, TO five hundred thousand
dollars, have to be met.
A statement Of these facts, touching the
financial condition Of the State, viii sug-
pest to your honorable bodies the gravity
= - h
must solve.
It is true that considering her resources
and capabilities, the public debt Of Texas is
insignificant, but these resources are not
available in the present exigency, and to
meet present necessities, the fiscal opera-
lions Of government are now being per-
formed through the medium Of COmptrOll-
er's warrants, and these are fuctuating in
value from sixty-fve to eighty cents on the
dollar.
Little OF no money IS beng used. As fast
as q dollar IS paid into the treasury, an obi
cation Of the State demands Il, and Il Is paid
out. The expenses Of the State, whenever
she goes into the market as q purchaser, are
nearly doubled By reason Of the depreciation
Of her warrants, the discount being added

The AGES Austin correspondent accounts
for the defeat Of the other Senatorial aspi-
rants, and the election Of General Maxey.
Governor ThrockmortOn was the paid attoF-
ney and land commissioner of the Texas
Pacific Railroad He could not satisfac-
torily explain hls railroad record, and it was
deemed unwise to send to the Senate "a
Paid attorney for one Of the very roads now

Judge Reagan could not rally votes sufi-
cient for his election, and, rather than pro-
long a hopeless contest, gracefully with
drew. His letters, especially his private one
to HerndOD, did the business.
Colonel FlouTnoy was defeated by the
adverse course of the Nelcs, and the support
of a Radical sheet. Central IerdH.
Such remarks we regard as exceedingly
untimeIy, unjust and unkind, and in oppo-
sition to it we are pleased to notice that the
great majority of the Democratic press Of
Texas speak of Ex-Governor ThrockmoTton

THE Rusk Observer says that Chief JUS

our contemporary expect him to be seventy
five, eighty, or ninety to qualify him for
that position. The remark of the O6serVe'

old age. ''Never mind about your age,
