THE STATE GAZETTE AND THAT
ssCHARGE OF CORRUPT1ON.'s


The State Gazette has never ceased to slam
der and vilify the DEMocRAT1c STATESMAN,
and all concerned with If, since this paper
was selected by the Thirteenth Legislature
to do the public printing, instead of the
Newcomb-E Elliott combination, which was
ingloriously exposed and defeated. In and
out of season, its columns have teemed
with Misrepresentation and abuse, until q
decent public was nauseated and disgusted
with its ebullitions Of envy and. passion. It
is not strange, then, that an innocent arti-
Gle in the STATESMAN on the subject Of
q Log-roliing," showing the mischievous
and injurious operation of this proceeding
in the legislation Of the country, which no
truly conscientious, honest man win deny,
should be tortured into q "charge Of cor
rupion against the present Legislature in
the late senatorial election, and against the
Hon. S. B. Maxey and the Hon. J.H. Reagan,
both Of them the personal friends Of the
writer, and by him held in the highest ~
spect. There Is not one word Of allusion to
either Of these gentlemen, or 10 the senate
rial election, in the article cOmplained Of.
On the contrary, there Is. at the close, an
express disclaimer Of any such application,
not that such would have been needed
under ordinary circumstances, but that,
knowing such charges might Be made,
we thought 1t prudent to add IL with
these facts considered, win any fair nan

Our new Senator, Gen. Maxey. is a gen
tleman Of the middle age, and a resident Of

nortleFn COUNTIES Of Texas, bordering on the
Ipdian Nation. Tic. was educated at West
Point, and was, We believe, classmate Of
President Grant Leaving thcsrmy, he stud
iei law, and has practiced for many years
successfully in tile section in which he has
resided He was acandidate for the nomina-
tion for Congress in the Second Congress
siohal District, the strongest Democratic
one IN the State, at the last Congressional
election, and after many fruitIcss ballOtings,
in which he Developed much strength, was
fimilly beaten by the nomination of Mclean,
the present member from that district In
politics, Cen Maxey was formerly, we are
told, an old Whig, but has been for many
years Democrat Of the strictest school, a
bold defender Of State rights, and voted
for secession, when tho rupture OF the Union
took place. During the war, he was in
command Of a brigade and bore himself
manfuIly, with thousands Of others, in de-
fense Of the rights Of the Sodih. AZ the
CoTsicana State Democratic Convention he
opposed, together with Ourself and Others,
the Greeley movement, as wrong in principle
and weak in policy, but when the Baltimore
Democratic National Convention indorscd
the nomination of Greeley, he stood up
squarely with his party and supported, with
the most of US, the nomination, which re-
suited so unfortunately. We may conf
IDENTIFY rely on Gen. Maxey to be true to the
Democratic party and its noble principles,
and to oppose the formation of any new
party through supposed reasons of policy or
expediency. And as we know him to be
politically sound, so we trust that he may
be found, during the six years of his sena-
torial service, ever faithful to the best inter
ests Of Texas and fully capable of defending
andsadvaReing them at all times and on all
occasions.

TIE editor Of the GassttO denies running
for the position Of State printer last year.
For the truth of this assertion we refer all
concerned to any one conversant with the
history of the opening weeks Of the Thir-
teenth Legislature. In the House he had
no showing, while in the Senate he was sup
ported, through Newcomb's and Dayis's in
iuence, by the Radicals md three Demo
Gratis acting with them. In the Democratic
House he had not one supporter. Tho SEN
ate selected the Gasette-Journal publishing
company to print its journals at what the
editor Of the Gazette claimed was low bid.
It was to publish the journals in the Gaaette
at 81 a thousand ems, putting the same
matter in book form at s. page, and to
supply the papers containing the journals ns
seven cents per copy. There arc about 1900
ems in page Of small plea, so that the
journals would have cost about s. so per
page. Thiswa abeut twice as much as al-
lowed under the printing biIl finally passed.
No wonder the editor Of the Gazette advo-
Gates the plan Of bidding forthe printing.

The STATE Jour7sal, which we find out still
lives, though in the last stage of painful
collapse, makes a dying effort to show that
Texas is fast going into another rebellion,
and the evidence advanced is, that Governor
Coke and Lieutenant Governor Hubbard,
Judges Roberts, Moore, Reeves and Devine,
Adjutant General Steele, Capt. Clark Sec
rotary Of State, and Gen. Maxey, the newly
elected Senator, were all secessionists-
other words, State rights men, What if
they werel Is that any evidence that they
are now hostile to the Union and desirOus OF
getting up another civil warl Such an ides
is prcposterous and ridiculous in the ex-
-tremo, The former advocates of the doc
trine of the right Of secession included the
best brains and virtue of the whole South,
with the fewest exceptions. Take out ex
Governor Throckmorton, one of the noblest
specimens of IN original Union man, who,
when secession took place, went heart and
soul with his own wronged and persecuted
section, and Hon. John Hancock, who,
ever since the war has been the able defen-
der Of all our rights, and has shown him
self worthy of all our confidence and esteem,
and how much Union clement and preten-
ded "ioyalty :" would be left worth men
tioning7 The most Of it would be scalawag
and untouchable. The doctrine of State
rights and secession was not only held bya
large majority of the Southern people,
whether Democrats orOld Wings, but also
By the Democratic party everywhere, South
and North, by Gushing, Ben Butler, Bout
well, Banks and Logan, and by nearly al
the old members Of the United States Su-
preinc Coort itself. It was the doctrine OF
the old Constitution, .and men Of learning
and honesty, unaffected BY prejudice
and passion. admitted it. Since the
va, by tho new amendment Of
the Constitution, the right Of secession
has hocn expressly given up BY the States,
but State Rights, in other respects, remain
intact. except BY wrongful legislation on
the part OF Congress in violation Of the
Constitution as It now Is The original
secession element in the South comprises
nearly all its best men, and if you proscribe
them yon deprive it Of its life blood and
cause to witheT and perish. But We dis
claim. most enphatically, that this element
IS nov inimiczllo to the Union and ready
to destroy It By no means. Il accepts

loose construction Of the Constitution and
the passage Of laws by Congress to destroy
still further State rights, and centre all

it ever win be. That is the amount Of its
rebellious feeling, which the carpet-baggers
and the scalawags and their dirty organs
are trying to make something out of-just
that, and nothing more. If it be rebelious
to oppose Capitalization and the destruction
of all State rights and State authority, If it
be disloyal to defend the Constitution and
all the rights and privileges secured under
its faithful observance-then, indeed, VIC

THK Sorosis in New York has instituted a
series of lectures for women, on the
"Hygienic and Moral Influence Of Dress, ~
and Miss DIR. Mary Jane studley has given
the FIRST lecture. The men have been lee
tured long enough by these she reformers,
and we are glad to note that the women
are to be lectured a little. DR.. Mary Jane
exhibited much learning about bones, mus
cles and the epidermis She said that there
were two hundred and eight bones IN q
human body, which had to be fed with
proper food, and she gave the women
"jessee" about their corsets and tight
shoes and high heels and other abomina-
TONS She said, further, that many Of the
clothes now worn by women were unneces-
sary except to increase the washing bills,
and that shawIs were only 1T for old ladies
and invalids. We suppose all married
men will heartily applaud the utterances
and teachings of DIR. Mary J. studley, and
wish her great success in her efforts at
reformation.

Of the Fourteenth Legislature to believe
such contamination possible, though, it
would seem, the editor Of the Sato Gasstts
does. The DEAIoCRATIc STATESMAN has
been astraightout Democratic paper, neither
turning 90 the right nor left or courtlng
the favor of any man or set Of men. It
has looked solely to the interest Of the Dem
ocratic party, and when it has deemed it at
tackled or in danger, it has struck promptly
in its defense. 1t has stood squarely on the
Democratic platform Of this State and on
Democratic principles as understood every
where. IttOok no part in the nominations
Of the different State officers at the Demo-
cratic State convention, and it has taken no
part in the senatorial contest, and it has
cast no reflections whatever on the Four
teenth Legislature for its action, in any re-
spect, so far, nor viii it, unless, contrary to
every reasonable expectation, it should
prove itself unworthy the confidence of an
honest Democratic journal.

THE Gazette and the Journal must show
their conspiracy to get the State printing.
BY mutual understanding the Gazette pub
fishes information about bill made by this
Office for State work. It charges that the
price was exorbitant, and the Journal n IA
gives the price charged for doing the work.
The work referred to was ordered just at q
time when we were moving from one build
ing.to apotheT, and when it was impossible
for us 20 do any book work for some time =
come. The Journal office was the only one
In the place ready to do 1t, and con-
tract was made with that concern TO
do the composition and printing, this
Office supplying all the material. The
bill of the Joarndl for tho work alone
was $3.50 paid in money. This, together
with what the material cost, was borrowed
money at heavy interest, and, though the
warrant given for the work is still In the
hands of our bankers as collateral It is to-
day worth about one hundred dollars less
than our entire outlay upon the matter in
question. Such is a glimpse at what is pro-
nounced very exorbitant bill. win the

Celebration at Philadelphia in the year

Walker severed his connection with the

of contentment We look back with
pleasure to our connection with Gen.
Walker and feel happy to state that

The selections made by Governor Coke
for the new Supreme bench, will strike
every body as admirable. We believe three
of the gentlemen, nominated and confirmed
by the Senate, have been heretofore on this
court, and have given universal satisfaction
by the purity, justice and legal correctness
of their decisions. Wo allude to o. N.
Roberts, George F. Moore and Reuben A.
Reeves, all gentlemen of the highest stand
ing and of the most ineorruptible integrity.
Thomas j. Devine, the fourth one nomi-
mated and confirmed, has been judge Of
the circuit court and was the Confederate
Judge of tho Western District of Texas, in
which position be was much distinguished.
BE is gentleman of fine legal acquire
ments, of the utmost purity Of character,
and will prove, if we arc not greatly mis-
taken, the peer of his associates on the
bench. Of William P. Bailinger, not

Texas on their obtaining for the court of
the last resort bench Of judges so emi-

whom they can place the utmost reliance,
and look up to with that respect and conf
