THE decision of the Supreme Court
must inevitably lead to surmises and
conjectures to be deplored by every
lover of good government Every ju-
dicial officer should be above the eslight-
est taint of suspicion, either of corrup-
ton or party prejudice. Far be it from
us to charge or intimate pecuniary cor
ruption on the part Of either judge.
We have no such idea. But, review
ing the past and present condition of
this State-the history of the whole
question, from the inception of
the election law down to this
decision--looking at the overwhelm-
ing expression of the ablest and pur-
est legal talent of the State, of both
parties, and seeing that this decision, If
legally made, would wholly ignore the
popular will, 50 decisively and fairly
expressed, and remanded for an indef-
mite time the control of public affairs
to a minority Insignificant in numbers,
seeing and rejecting on all these
things, 1t will require n large amount
of charity to make men believe the
court has not yielded to party feeling
in this decision.

SENATORIAL.

/ We are glad to say that our article on
the 3D. in advocacy ssof Governor
Throckmorton for the United States
Senate, meets with general approba-
ton so far as we have had an express
sion of public opinion.
All in thissection agree OH one point:
That the North half of Texas, now
embracing fully half the population OF
the State, and more than half of the
Democratic majority, has never had a
Senator in Congress in the twenty
eight years since Texas entered the
Union. The East and the Southwest
have enjoyed monopoly of our two
Senatorships. Indeed, North Texas
proper has never fairly had even a
representative in Congress. Mr.. Con-
ner was member for three sessions
by misfortune and accident, and we do
not consider that as in the estimate.
We now have Capt. Mclean, n good
and true man, for the first time. but
in redistricting the State, he will as
suredly fall in the Northeast district.
Col. Mills, of Corsicana, however, may
fall in this or the North Texas district
proper. If so, we shall have no OBJ
lection, knowing him to be able, hon
est and fearless-a true man always
and everywhere. Would to God ma
jority of congressman we've such men.
Considering the premises, we say to
our brethren in all parts of the State,
that North Texas expectsto furnish the
successor to Mr.. James w. Flanagan
in the United States Senate, and we
are confident that large majority of
our people prefer James w. Throck-
morton to any other man. Our pre-
vious article fully sets forth the reasons
for this preference. They are not local
reasons, but appeal to the chivalrous
sentiments of Texans everywhere.
The honor and manhood of the State
would be vindicated by sending him to
the Senate. The rule of the bayonet
and brute force would be condemned
and civil liberty exalted. The name
of fThrockmorton will forever be asso-
ciated with constitutional liberty in
Texas in antagonism to tyranny and
military rule. The State cannot afford
to defeat him for the Senate. We trust
there is too much patriotism to do it.

AN OLD YEAR SONG.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.


As through the forest, disarrayed
By chill December, late strayed,

Was singi1 1g to the solitude;
loved thy music, thus / said,
Wien DER thy perch the leaves were spread;
SW eet was thy song, but swecter now

sing, little bird thy note shall cheer
K 81 he sadness of the dying year.
An nd morning filled their cups with dew,
TiJ slender voice with ripping trill
The budding April bowers would fill,
Nor pass its joyous tones away
When April rounded into May;
Thy life shall hail no second dawn
sing, little bird The spring isgone.
And remember-well-a-day-
thy full-blown summer roundelay;
As when behind "a 'broidered screen
some holy maiden sings unseen;
W It'll answering notes the woodland rung,
81 I'D every tree-top found a tongue,
low deep the shaded the groves how fair !!
sing little birds the woods are bare.
Hit now the summers chant is done
id mute the choral antiphon
Il le birds have left the shiverlng pines
n fit among the trellised vines,
q ! fan the air with scented plumes
mid the love-sick orange blooms,
a nd thou art here al0ne--alone-
Sing. little bird the rest have flown.
.rt,e snow has capped yon distant hill,
Al morn the running brook was still,
iSrom driven herds the clouds that rise
A re like the smoke of sacrifice,
Il .e long the frozen sod shall mock
1he plowsiare changed to stubborn rock,
srl,e brawling streams shall soon be dumb;
Sing, little bird the frosts have come.
vast. fast the lengthening shadows creep,
Tne songless fowls are half asleep,
he air grows chill, the setting sun
Aiay leave thee ere thy song is done,
The pulse that W arms thy breast grows cold
Thy secret dies with thee untold;
The lingering sunset still is bright
Sing, little bird twill soon be night.
