why the court acts IN the matter is because
responsible citizens Of the county of Bra

this conn ission propositions ia due time to
do the work, and thereafter to donate in
one instance, one-half, and in the other
one-third of the State bonos to the county

stions, though the county of Brszoria is
heavily in debt, received not the least con

wuArsmALL WE DO wTTH THrs,


Confinement within prison bars aud peni-
tentiaries has no terrors for sneak thieves.
We hang horse thieves of necessity, failing
to observe the tender forms of the law in
this behalf, and why not thrash the dcpre-
dators upon hen-roOsts and clothes-lines
it is difficult to see. We can build no pris-
ons to accommodate, and no workh0uses,
factories or cotton mills to employ the
multiplying rogues that overrun the coun-
try, and the only recourse left US is the
whipping post. Thieves don't frequent
that country in which the whipping post,
"a relic OF barbarism,p still stands inside
the prison walls, and while humanity shud-
ders when a knave's back is lacerated by
the lash and he groans in unutterable an
gush, it must be remembered that these
terrorS are the sublimity of mercy, prevent
ing crime as does no other punishment. II
the use of the lash be prohibited the ball
and chain and hanging by the thumbs, or
torture by dropping wafer, or the fearful
sweat-box must be substituted, and either
is worse than the lash. In fact men are
prone to exhaust their sympathies in the
wrong direction. When one is convicted
of crime he is purely felon and deserves
felons doom. He has shown no mercy
to man or society or government aud
these owe him nothing but punishment
that his name and fate may deter others
from his course. Used in this manner
he becomes a valuable citizen; the
more terrible and conspicuous his pun
ishment the better the service done by
his example, and the more perfect the
aapeRs1e made for his infractions OF the code
Thieves have been thrashed publicly and

to add that no villain was. ever, whipped a

LoNGsTREET next. He Is rummaging
among Confederate archives at Washington.
Hood, too, is suspected of preparing his
story, in reply to Sherman on the one hand
and Joe Johnston on the other Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis is said to be engaged on his
memoirs. Each of the States South, ex-
cept Texas, We believe, has an active and
organized historical society at its capital
devoted to the collection of materials for
biographies and histories, and the multi
piled books designed to be read by our de-
scendants must tax their patience. But
each State may well have its own history
and perfect recitals of the deeds of its own
sons, and he is the truest Federal patriot
who most engcnders aud promotes the
growth Of this local pride aud local pa
triotism. Gen Bragg has an invaluable
collection of private papers, cs-efnlly pre-
served, and at some future day he, too,
may give the world clearer apprehension
of many important historical events than
is unfolded by any books yet published,
and it IS surely pleasing to reflect that how
ever vainly men fought and toiied to secure,
as they imagined, perfect political indepen-
dence, the memory of their virtues and
achievements will be perpetuated. There
is little practical good attained by decorat-
ing graves with flowers or uplifting heaps
Of monumental stone. Flowers are breath

1GovERNoR COKE owns no land and neve

GOVERNOR COKE owns no land and never
owned any at all affected, directly or indi-
rectly, by the location of the penitentiary
in Rusk county. His Excellency states this
fact in published letter. and since we al
luded to the story, as made originally in
some Eastern paper, we make the proper
correction. In fact, we don't believe Gov
ernor Coke capable of any little meanness.
His prejudices are incurable, but he is one
of those, who, while capable of cempre-
hending the necessities of State and ad-
ministering its routine affairs, would be ut
terly unfit to conduct newspaper. He
would never forget himself or his personal
prejudices and ambitious aims, and there
fore could never discuss temperately or un-
selfishly the political questions of the day.
An editor has neither friends nor enemies
to reward or punish. His business is to
tell lof facts that concern the public, and
that organ of opinion is utterly unworthy
of public conffdencewhichn never finds aught
to condemn in the conduct of its patron or
party leader, and its approval is valueless
since it is only tulsome adulation, and its
defense of its employer when criticised is
the raving of zealot. 1~

INSIDE VIEW oF TExAs POLITI, $.

The plaln inference to he drawn from
Judge lreland's latest pronunciamento iss
that he himself has been suspected OF the
authorship of the secret circular of adj
vice II Democrats written ~ Judge AleXan-
der Judge Ireland says he has been writ
ten to on the subject, and then proceeds to
denounce the circular as stupendous fraud
"a trick of the enemy. But the fact that
intelligent men have deemed it possible for
the chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee to give paternity to such paper
shows how unfit the Judge is believed to
be for the position lac occupies and then,
too, he justiiics this opinion of hls worth
by advertising a document which he surely
would have suppressed. He seeks to do
everything by main strength and awkward
ness. Such man is wholly unfit for the
place lie occupies. The danger now TO the
Democratic party in Texas is not IN the
strength, but weakness, of Radicahsm.
Radiealism has hardly enough inertia to
consolidate the Democracy. Our party is
hopelessly divided on the currency question
in the East, and in Ohio Thurman opposes
PendIeton and Cumberland Gap Morgan
and the great body Of the Western and
Southern Democrats, and there is danger of
like division even here in Texas. Has Ire
land the tact to reconcile differences Can
he produce an address which will heal the
possible breach or prevent its occur
renee? He would not dream of the ne
cessity or wisdom of such conduct. On
the contrary he will hasten to assert his
own faith with repulsive dogmatisms
and then declare all Democrats Radicals
wEo do not follow the Sage of Seguln, that
model philosopher who does the adyertis-
ing business and promotes the distribution,
without charge, of the campaign documents
of the Radical party. 1t may seem unlind
to suggest it, but the Judge is so evidently
unfit, IN his temperament, IN his inordinate
self-esteem, in his incapacity for any duty
involving wisdom or moderation, that he
should step down and out. Then, too,
there is no reason just now, in the aspect
of his own personal fortunes, why he should
| persist in occupying the place he fills. II
has been agreed that Lang is to succeed
Governor Coke, and his EXcellency goes,
by means of Lang's power, into the Fed
eral Senate, and there is time enough fol
the Sage of Seguin to devote himself tc
books and put his ardent temperament and
inordinate self-coniidence into leading
strings. When another contest for seat
in the Senate superyenes, or in the change:
possible, if the constitutional reform con
vention sits, there are excellent chances foi
the Sage of Seguin. just now, with the
combinations that have been made agains
him, he must be content, like the old Ro
man hero, with retirement and the dlieght:
of hisSabine farm.

THE war in lreland's county against the
sheriff, Gordon, is still waged relentlessly,
with what justice the courts again must say.
Gordon was in the court room Wednesday,
at Seguin, and, in compliance with the de
cree of the Supreme Court, undertook to
discharge the, functions of sheriff. Another
effort to displace him was begun, a quarrel
followed, and Gordon and the district at
torney fought. Judge Nancy interposed,
but was terribly denounced, and said to tho
district attorney that they would settle tho
