Gently died; Logan, of Illinois, is SAID to
be dying, and, instead of Ferry and Al

thus gain four votes IN the Federal Senate.
If Governor Beveridge, of Illinois, will
give the Senate a decent member In place
of blarherskite Logan, and somebody
would kill off Dorsey and Clayton, and
suffer Arkansas TO be represented. instead
of Cutfee, the political complexion of the
Senate would be changed, and Grant, ever
concurring, he says, with the people,
would at once flop over to Democracy, and
the centennial year would dawn under glo-
rioRs auspices. In fact, it does seem such
an SasR iass gesAecial providence to effect,
by means indicated, reformatory revolu-
ton of fact and morals and policy in the
government of the United States that we
commend the consideration of the matter
to pious, prayerful people everywhere.

DIR. BLAssINGAME, OF the Constitutional
Convention, has been hob-nobbing with
the Register at Sherman, and especially con-
graduates himself that he opposed Tom
Scott and the Rutabagas in the Texas and
Pacific St. Louis and Philadelphia job.
DR.. Blassingame also claims the honor of
having lands assessed" " in counties where
they lie. He didn't claim any honor for
compelling landowners to pay taxes in each
county. The Doctors head is too level for
that. And then also came Col. DeMorse
into the Register Office, and he didn't claim
the honor of creating or passing anything,
and he pursued his melancholy way back
to the sorrowful lowlands and lagunes of
languid Red River.

helped many of them out of deserved or un-
deserved embarrassment. But, except IN n
limited number of cases, where the zeal ot
PHussiau officials had led them to clam pei
sons as German subj before the eNpira-
ton of the two years grace, but little could
be done. While the authorities could justi-
fy their claim TO apply the two years reg

1t had never been formally declared by
the government that, under the option
given by that article, It would Invariably re-

some cases the polce bad observed such a
rule, and drawn the victim into the army.
In uther cases, where even after the two
years the persrn could prove an intent to
return, he had been released on the repre-
sentation of the American minister to the
foreign office But this method was arbitra-

On the expiration of the two years of grace
the returning emigrauts will not at once be
ensnared as in n trap without any chsice.
Their intent not to return to AmericS after

the alternative of actually leaving the coun-
try within prescribed period, or of remain

turn is to be prove1 by the act of returning
the intent to remsin is proved by the fact
of remaining. This rule, which is doubt

THE EXPIRES AND EXAMINER
10Th ON rHE SAME HORSE.

The Examiner, true to its instincts and
incapable of reason and addicted only
to appeals to prejudice, would have the
Democratic Convention at Galveston pro-
nounce those papers organs of Radicalism
which oppose the adoption of the new
and the Convention will not recognize this
absurd touchstone of fealty to party
There are countless Democrats who would
resent such an insult to common sense and
common honesty. What has Democracy to
do with Rutabagaism Is the party re-
sponsible for the follies of Johnson of Col
lin, and of those who bowed before the
majesty of his autocracy in the Constitu-
tional Convention We did desire, above
all things, to approve the new Constitution.
We expected to find it creative at least
of such an improvement on the gov
ernment we have that no negro or Rad
icsl could accept it. But there is not
a sane Radical in Texas who does not pre-
fer this horrible Rutabaga code, save to the
extent that it may be amended with fa-
cility to that under which we are now liv-
ing. The Examiner knows not what it is
saying. It. never thinks. 1t is pulled
along blindly by the nose, sometimes by
the Grange, sometimes by the Governor;
now and then John Ireland tweaks it, and
sometimes Lang gives its much twisted
nasal promontory terrible wrench. But
now it is the San Antonio Express, the lead
ing Republican organ of the Southwest,
which has the probescls of the Examiner
between its thumb and index finger. The
Examiner and cypress are running in the
same groove. They are delightfully."- asso-
ciated, and both well pleased with the
new Constitution. Both papers, for the
same reasons, laud the new code, and since
the ErpreSs is wise and discreet, and an able
organ of its party, and accepts the asser-
tions of the Examiner, may we not suspect
the Examiner of Radicalism2 1t would
have Democracy insert new plank, an er
post factO rule of faith in its creed, and un-
church recusant members of the Democratic
church. The Erprrss, hand in hand with
the Examiner, would enter the very holy of
hOlies of Democracy on this new plank,
which is neither broad nor strong enough
to bear the STATESMAN. Approve the Con-
stitution, as does theExpress and the Erami-
ner, if you like. We can stand it if the people
cxn; but for heavens sake do not make
Democracy disgusting to intelligence and
patriotism by making the party responsible
for follies and absurdIties of Rutabagaism.
If thus burdened, and the party still trl-
umphs, we are content to bide our time.
The new code will not be in operation a
single year when the people will curse those
who conceived and promulgated it. Espe
cially will they be mathematical who not
only constructed this fearful code, but alb
solutely fasten system upon Democracy
by making it responsible for crude incon-
gruities and theories and facts of govern
ment which, when reduced to practice,
must become intolerable.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-12-09

of the people by suborning the
press, and whipping the grange into ad-
hesion to Rutabagaism. The foremost
leader in hostility to railways is the fore
most in assent in the Constitutional Con-
vention to Tom Scott's schemes, and there
was never one conceived, North or South,
more rulnous to Texas aad the South than
the diversion from the thirty-tbird to the
thirty-ffth parallel of latitude of the COM
merce of three continents. Aud yet there
are men deemed sane, and pretending to
love and honor Texas, who, to gam office
for themselves or friends, absolutely ap-
prove the new Constitution, which assures
its own acceptability by forcing the people
of Texas TO accept this outrage done the
State and the South by Tom Scott and his
humble servitors at st. Louis.
