TBE GOVERNOR's PROCLAMATION.

We publish, as a matter of interest, the
proclamation of the Governor, designating
Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of Novem-
Der, as day of thanksgiving aud prayer.
The day was first proclaimed by the Presi-
dent of the United States as a national
Thanksgiving. At that time, we of the
South could not see the silver lining in the
political clouds which looked dark and
lowering. We had been blessed with health
and plenty for man and beast; but our sister
State of Louisiana was under the heel of
Federal despots, and the South was torn by
the evil Vaccinations of political adven-
turers. Since then elections have been held
North and South at which the people de-
clared that tyrants shall not rule America; !;
that Louisiana shall be free; that the
South shall not be longer oppressed; :;
that fraternal feelings shall be restored; !;
that hate and prescription shall
cease; and that those who fought
on the side of the Confederacy shall be en-
titled to all the rights, privileges and bene-
hts OF the government as fully and freely
as those who fought on the side of the
Union.
This is glorious solution of the terrible
ordeal through which we have passed. If
any people ever had cause to be thankful
and rejoice we are that people. We have a
State government of our own choice; our
political enemies have been crushed and
strong friends at the North have
rallied to our relief; prescription is dead;
the occupation of our maligners has been
destroyed; peace and plenty prevail health
and prosperity smile upon the land; and
unity and brotheIly love prevail. Let us
Therefore rejoice and be exceedingly glad;
let us.lift up our hearts in alteration to the
Great Ruler of the universe, and bless Him
for all his benefits.

IHE city authorities Of Dallas, headed by
the mayor, Hon. w. L. Cabell, "protest
against the raising of any company of min
ute men by the sheriff of Dallas county. or
any one else, Ostensibly for the purpose of
executing the laws, as they believe that the
civil officers are clothed with ample power
and authority to execute the laws at any
and all times" They state that it would
be reflection upon the citizens of the
county, and would lead to the conclusion
that the civil officers could not execute the
laws, when such is not the fact; that there
is perfect quiet in the county, and no need
for military company to assist the civil
officers. We find the protest published in
the Commercial, ard addressed to Governor
Coke, based upon an article that appeared
in the Herald to- the effect ''that Sheriff
Barkley had received authority from the
Adjutant General to raise a company of
minute men; that they are to be bona tide
citizens of Dallas, and that arms would
be furnished them by the State. >
The Governor is astonished at the con-
tents of the protest and memorial. and as
serts that he is utterly opposed to any inter
ference or exercise of the military in or
over civil affairs; and shows that the COM
pany authorized to be raised was in ac-
cordanee with the statute in relation to vol
unteer companies. We quote from the Gov
ernor's reply as follows:
'gThe truth is that your honorable body
have been misinformed as to the character
of the military company which has been
authorized to be raised in Dallas. enclose
herein the letter of Adjutant Gen. Steele to
Mr. Barkley, which contains the only
authority sent to any person in Dallas
county, referring to the organization of a
military company. He simply informs Mr.
Barkley that whenever a company is or
ganized in Dallas in conformity with the |
law to be found in articles ninety to ninety
five, in volume one, Paschal's Digest, that the |
State will furnish arms By referring to
this law, it will be found in article ninety
two that the Governor be authorized to |
grant arms and accoutrements to each uni- |
formed volunteer company in the State, as
soon as he shall have received a certificate |
of election of the commissioned officers of |
the said companies from the chief Justice |
of the county where such company is or
ganized.'"

years rule of that bold, bad man and that we
may expect to have, for years to come, officers
in harmony with the people. The merits
of appointing district judges by the Cover
nor should not be judged by Davis's abuse
of the power.
How has this power worked under the
present administration Bonner, Ector,
Rogers, Walker, Broaddus, and other dis
trict judges appointed by Governor Coke,
are now on the bench, ana the people of
their respective districts have never had
abler judges or purer men to preside owe,
their courts
1t is notorious fact that every Judge
appointed by the Governor is giving salts
faction, and the people have full confidence
in their integrity and ability.
viii it not be well for the makers of our
new Constitution, shortly to assemble in
convention, to reflect maturely before de-
Gliding that district judges shall be elected
and not appointed2
What say our cotemporanes7 Let us
discuss these questions for the good of the
State, and not to subserve any selfish pur-
pose. But let US examine carefully lest
some unwise provision should be engrafted
in the Constitution.

THE Dallas Herald has the following
scathing piece of sarcasm in relation to the
articles which have appeared in the Houston
Telegraph from time to time in relation to an
usury law. We tried our best, in mild
and gentle way, to induce the Telegraph to
unbend somewhat and come down to the
level of this mundane sphere, but all in
vain. If his attitude has provoked the
winging of sharp arrow, we are not re-
sponsible for the result, and trust that our

a missionary, with work to do, and that
work the publishing of a very good newspa-
per, with very moral editorials, written
with great perspicuity, perspicacity and per
spiration, but heavy nevertheless, with
certain ornate dullness, which indicaJes that
tie edifsfs hearts are not in their tread-mil,
and that it is losing the Value-of many Of
the dollars it discussed with the Austin
STATESMAN in its great work of giving its
public better paper than it is capable of
appreciating or literally supporting. If
ever the power behind the throne, who is
initiating George w. Childs, of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, in small way, was to quit
the glittering generalities and dull plati-
tudes line and proceed in heavy on the obit-
uary business, it might recover its pristine
froiicsomeness and have q livelier funeral,

Mr.. JOSEPH MEDlLL, the editor of the
Chicago Tribune, declares the position of
that paper on the tariff question to be sub
stantially as follows, which is from former
plank of an Illinois Republican resolution:
''That, as taxation is pecuniary burden
imposed by public authority on the prop
erty of the people for the maintenance Of
government, the payment of its debts, and
the promotion of the general welfare, Con-
gress ought not to tax the substance or the
earnings of the citizens for any ether pur-
pose than above indicated, and that it is
wrongful and oppressive to enact revenue
laws for the special advantage of one branch
Of business at the expense of another, and
we hold that the best system of protection
to industry is that which imposes the light
est burdens and the fewest restrictions on
the property and business of the people.
As Capt. Jack Bunsby, master of the Cau-
tious Clara, would have remarked, Z" the
bearings of this observation depends upon
the application on it." But it is satisfac-
tory compared with the declarations of the
former editor of the Tribune To quote
Capt. Bunsby again: 'sAwast there; keep q
bright lookout for'ard, and good luck to
you l''-P PhiladelPhia Press.
We are not surprised that the Press should
object to such conclusion, by Mr.. Meda,
on the tariff question. 1t is one thing to
find an editor to support the Radical parry,
and quite another TO get one in name, VT,
differing with his party on one Of the main
plauks of their platform. The fOrme is
very common, the latter ''rare bird, y Eho,
in these times of get-all-you-can-honaily,
but-enoagh-any-wsy, is as refreshing as
modesty and pOlitcness in a hotel or apost-
Office clerk.
The Pres has been twitting the 1eno-
Gratis upon the differences which exist
among them on the finances Of the cOintry.
Now, that paper finds an editor Of lead
ing Western paper, who dares to asume
and advocate one Of the time-honoret prin-
ciples Of Democracy. No wonder tlAt the
Pres SAYS .sthe bearings Of this observation

Cotton Exehange of Galveston and &c
Grangers OF Texas.

Editors Dsmocratic Stateamaa - About
eighteen months ago, the Cotton Exchange
of Galveston was established to promote the
desire of the commission merchants fof

obstacles out Of the way Of cooperation
70, protect themselves against fraud, ana 20

mission merchant, on account of cotton
sent for sale, since twenty-five wears. have
no profit or benefit Of the so-callcd Cotton
Exchange Of Galveston. The same was es
tablished openly FOR the benefit and profits
of its members.
But since the origin Of the association. q
tax Of fifteen cents has been laid on every
bale Of cotton sold in Galveston, and
this tax Is charged ia every account. This
tax was first called Cotton Exchange
fces afterwards guarantee or sinspcc

lawless tax.
Isthc cotton producer secure against being
robbed by further taxation Is he secure
against enormous increases in the prices Of

Cotton Exchange Of Galveston 70 levy 8
tax Of fifteen cents on every bale Of cotton
sold there for the commodities and benefit
Of its members.
This tax Is IN violation Of every law end
moral, and is, TO be simple, called ''swind-
ling.p This tax viii be declared by every
court null and void, and criminal. About
346, 900 bales Of cotton have been shipped
to Galveston the past year: $40, 600 bales
at fifteen cents per bale equals 81 600 !
This sum Of $51, 300 has been 1windled out
of the pockets Of the cotton producers of
Texas under false pretenses, without aahade
