The grotesque efforts of the Mar
lin Ball, to make it appear that
there IL a misunderstanding between
Worthy Master Lang and the Ex-
AMINER, on the subject of the next
Governorship, only amuses us, and
we should regret if Col. Lang felt
any annoyance at the circumstance.
The sort of confidence existing he
tween Col. LANG and this paper
could never exist between him and
the Ball, and hence the mistakes the
youthful editor suffers himself to
make. Notwithstanding the severe
charge of the Ball, "that the Grange
of itself is doing more to damage
the Order and drive it into the POI
itics of the country, than any other
power" we feel perfectly assured
that neither Worthy Master Lang
nor the Grange would see the Or.
der enter the political arena, even
to place Col. Lang in the Presiden.
tial chair. 1t Is because of the Ex.
AMIyGR's absolute confidence in tn,
Worthy Master, and in the purit,
and good faith of the Order, that il
has ever been prompt to refute tn,
charge that both the Order and Col
Lang were laboring secretly to Sc
cure political place for him through
the power and influence of the Pa
irons.

One by one they fall. The san
Antonio Express has gone the way
of all Radical flesh in the South.
And thus il will ever be, where a
paperis is run against the aggregate
of public sentiment, and against the
idea of a perfect political restora-
ton and reconciliation, it must,
sooner or later, go down, even as
the Express and many other able
Republican journals have done in
Texas. The people of the South
are capable of sclf-government,
and the collapse of the journals
which, since the war, were run on
the theory that they were not,
clearly establishes the fact that the
people, at least, think so.
