TExAs.-Texas is once more IN
der the rule of Democracy. The
Supreme Court OF the State de-
clarad the law under which the
late election was held Hnconstitu-
tional, but in face Of the decision
the Democrats took possession OF
the government, installed their
Governor, convened their Legisla-
ture, and at once commenced q
general sweeping out of every Of
ficer suspected OF Republicanism.
The offending court was ignored,
q new one formed, composed of
the members Of the old COnfeder-
ate court, and two new members
added, both formerly in the Con-
federate service. Legislation has
been had, the effect of which will
destroy the free school system,
change the jury laws, and practi-
cally disfranchise the colored citi-
Gems. Texas offers splendid field
for Democratic reform, and from

HABITUAL DRUNKARDS.
How to Deal With Them.

It is not u class pleasant to
contemplate, but it has to be
dealt with, and it is very impor-
tant to get at the best way of
doing it. In New York habitual
intoxication has for some time
been n punishable offense, the Of
fender being sent to the work
house for short time. The re-
suit is, according to q report of q
commissioner having charge OF
the matter, that the law has en-
tirely failed in its reformatory de-
sign, for drunkenness is constantly
on the increase. The figures CIV
en- are full of sad interest Dur
ing the last four years it appears
that $50 males were committed
for habitual drunkenness from six
to one hundred times for a rep
etition OF the same ofense, and
9,0O6 females for the same cause
no notice being taken of the in
mates of the workhouse who were
committed for the same cause fol
less than six times. The first i'm
preston of most who see these
figures will be that there is a mis-
take in the number OF females
but there is not; the latter offend
ers of this class are to the males
as sixteen to one; and while one
male was rearrested one hundred
times for the same offence, of the
female drunkards twenty-nine ha6
to be rearrested one hundred
times; and this fearful proportion
is observed all through. The
commissioner-justly it seems tt
us-attributes much of this diff
ference to the far more degrading
and brutalizing effect which
these commitments, herding to
gether the weak and the incurably
vicious, the unfortunate and thu
the hardened in intemperance anC
crime, have upon the female sex
The length of the time of commit
ment is insufficient to effect cure
of Incorporate habits by abstin
ence and curative treatment
while it is altogether dispropor
toned to the mere fraility o
many who cannot stand tn
shame and ignominy it involves
He recommends q change in tn
laws SO that only those whom thu
State will undertake to cure of ha
bitual drunkenness shall be com
mitted for o term of two years
unless pardoned out by the prop
er authorities-and shall be sub
ject to suitable labor and disci
pline. The question, In som
form or other, concerns ever.

The MARYLAND TwINs.-On Sat
urday, the 7th instant, publication
was made in the Sun of the birth
on the previous Wednesday, at
Tobacco stick, Dorchester county,
of female twins, who we're joined
at the breast in q manner more
wonderfufthan the Siamese twins,
now being autopsied in Philadel-
phia. The Dorchester twins were
of colored pRrantage, the mother
being Mary Travers, who is now
in excellent health. One OF the
twins was alive at birth, but died
in few seconds thereafter. The
other when born was dead. The
one first ushered into the world
bore the impress upon its face of q
genuine negro. while the complex
ion of the other was like that of a
white person, and the hair less
kinky upon its head than that
adjoining the Uranium of its sister.
DR.. La Count Smith, OF Tobacco
stick, became possessed of the
bodies of the twins shortly after
their birth, and with them arrived
in this city yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of having the bod
les properly preserved, which will
be done by placing them in an
aquarium-shaped vessel, filled with
alcohol. Last night the Dorches-
ter monstrosities were exhibed at
the Office of DIR. j. H.Trall, corner
Of Sharp and Lee streets, in pres
ence Of several medical gentlemen.
The bond of union connecting the
bodies of the twins extends from
the centre Of the breast bone to
the naval, thus placing the bodies
face to face, The bodies are well
formed, and weigh ten pounds and
q half, and measure eighteen inches
in length. The physicians who
were present at DR.. Trails Office
last night gave as their opinions
that each of the twins possessed
separate stomachs, hearts, livers
&c, and that q wall separated the
|, stomaches along that portion
where the bond Of union exists
The only case on record where {
similar bond Of union ever existed
is in the London Museum, and lik'
