Texas politicians have been so busy with
their contest over the State Government that
we have heard but little about the canvass
for United States Senator. Gen. S. B. Maxey,
however, has been elected to succeed Senator
Flanagan, whose term expires March 4, 1875.
We have no information concerning any local
interests which may have entered into the
struggle. Messrs. Reagan and Throckmorton
were the candidates best known outside OF
Texas. Gen. Maxey has not much National
reputation.
Gen. Garfield seems to have described the
present tendency of Congress IN phrase.
They appear disposed, he complains, to re-
trench on every item that has not yet come
ND, and to refuse to retrench on every item
that is under consideration. For the benefit
OF those who are watching Congress in order
20 determine the financial probabilities for the
next three or four months. it is well enough

done. or may fail to be done in the way Of
retrenchment by this Congress, it cannot begin

WHY BIRD WAS INVITED.

rumorel, "that Mr.. Bird was invited,
not that the people would be pleased
by it, or that the University would
stand longer or be more prosperous by
1t, but for the sole purpose Of securing
his presence and influence in the future
for sinister purpose, viz: that son
Of tho secretary of the board Of trus-
tees, might thereby gather in the col
ored vote of Cairo in his present cx-
tremcly doubtful campaign for seat
in the state Legislature.
The Carbonate observer has made
the same charge by impiicatiou.

had any such purpose in view when he
invited Mr.. Bird to make speech at
