suite 4 conspiracy to cruelty the Saviour Of
men, and the reconciliation Of Davis. the
Radical Governor, and Hamilton, the King
Of the Scalawags, has been the result Of a
deep laid conspiracy to destroy the govern
ment and liberties Of the people Of Texas.
Heretofore these men have been avowedly
bitter enemies Hamilton accusing Davis Of
participating in a notorious fraud, by which
he was counted out as Governor Of Texas
and Davis counted in, and Davis accusing
Hamilton Of having deserted his party
and sold out 70 the Democrats, and
being generally corrupt and unrelia-
BILE every way. Their quarreIs commenced
in the convention, which framed the present
Constitution, and they have been apparently
kept up, until very late period, with
great bitterness. Hamilton, in private and
in public, on the streets and on the stump,
has spoken of Davis as the lowest and vilest
Of politicians, with whom he could never as
sociatc or be at peace. But common hatred
Of the Democracy, and common desire to
90 the people OF Texas great harm, and a
common depravity Of nature, intent on sin
and iniquity, have brought them together,
and they are now acting in perfect accord,
to bring about, if possible, inealculable
evils 10! PLATE and Herod have become
friends. The crucifxion of Texas, the
nOurishing and unofIending mother Of both,
must be effected, if within the compass of
their united power. The God of the uni
verse overuled the wickedness of PLATE
and Herod, for the salvation Of a suffering
world The God OF nations may override
the conspiracy of Davis and Hamilton, to
the salvation of Texas and the triumph
of free government. Let ali trust in

OUR friends of the Jackson Miss Ga
riOH do not seem to understand the position
of affairs in Texas. The election law, un-
der which the late election was held, does
not violate any provisions of the Constitu-
ton fairly and honestly construed. The
Constitution fixed four days for the election
and the respective court houses for the
places of voting until otherwise ordered. It
was otherwise ordered by the, last Legisla-
ture, on the express Recommendation of the
Radical Governor himself, irhO adrised pre-
eiact elections and one dag cOting. The law
was made to suit his ideas, and he approved
and signed it, and run for reelection under
it. Now, when he finds himself badly
beaten, he attempts, through corrupt court
appointed by himself, to take advantage of
his own wrong if it be one, but the truth
is that no violation of the Constitution has
been committed, and every decent lawyer
in the State scouts the partisan decision of
the court. We repeat this much to put our
old friends of the Clarion right on this
subject

THE newspapers record the death Of Mrs.
Somerville at the age of ninety-twO She
was an unusual instance of woman, fond
of abstruse mathematics, and was the au-
thor of several works on chemistry, philos-
ophy, astronomy, etc. She was made a
member of many learned societies and was
highly regarded by the literary and scien-
tific world. Much study had no tendency
to shorten human life in her, and she re-
tanned her mind up to the last hours of her
honorable existence

the United States has recovered a judgment

worthy friends of Grant Jay Cooke &

WE learu that Newcomb, the editor of the
State Journal and Governor Davis's Secre-
tary of State, made a night raid on San
Antonio last week. He arrived at New
Braunfels early in the morning, after travel
ing all night from Austin, in quite an ex-
hausted condition, both man and horse.
After some refreshment and borrowing a
new horse, he proceeded on his headlong
way. Whether he was running from his
own shadow or running after shadows,
could not be ascertained. 1t is to be hoped
that he will turn up all right to-day.

GOVERNOR DAVIS can hardly feel secure
of any great interest felt for him at Wash
ington by the magnates there. The leading
Republican papers have not been inHthe
habit of speaking of him with any particu-
lar kindness. He is aware of this and it
should admonish him not to undertake any
thing rashly. If he gets himself into a
scrape he may be left to get out of it, by
himself, the best way he can Let him
think this over.

Has anybody seen anything of Ann Eliza
Stuyffet, described as seventeen years old,
blue eyes, blonde hair, with a dimple on
each cheek" She is advertised by her
anxious mother, Mrs. James Smithson

parts unknown. Should this reach the
blue eyes of the blonde beauty with dim
pies, let her return to the afflicted Stuyffet.
We fear those two dimples have played the
mischief with Ann Eliza.

AMONG curious wills" which have re-
Gently been brought to light in England,
there are two which exhibit conjugal af-
lection in an interesting and somewhat un-
usual light. One is the will of a late mem
Der of Parliament, in which he thus speaks
of his brilliant wife:
''The unspeakable interest with which l
constantly regard Lady -'s future fate,
induces me to advise her earnestly to unite
herself again with some one who may de-
serve to enjoy the blessing of her society
during the many years of her probable
survival after my life. 1 am grateful to
Providence for the great happiness I enjoy
in her singular affection, and / pray and
confidently hope that she may long con-
tinue to possess the same esteem and friend
ship of those who are intimate with her and
can appreciate her admirable qualities, and
the respect of all with whom in any rela-
lation of life she is connected"
The other is the will of lady who died
in 1868, bequeathing all her property to her
husband She adds
1T is also my earnest wish that my dar-
ling husband should marry ere long a nice,
prctty girl, who is a good housewife, and,
above all, to be careful that she is Of a good
temper
