= CONTEMPTIBLE.-TheH orgaD," on Satur-
day, contained among its local paragraphs
the following: 1--WE predict that the
STATESMAN will have no further denuncia-
ton of the banking house of Forster, Lud-
low &Co." We had regarded the above ex-
preston as unworthy of notice, and would
not have given it any had not a similar
paragraph appeared again on Sunday morn
ing. On Saturday morning General -Lnd-
low, of the firm alluded to, called at this
office and directed attention to the para
graph given above, and ssid-that he and
Mr.. Zimpelman, members of the firm resid-
ing in this place, desired it to be under
stood that such publication was unauthor-
lied on their part, and had appeared with
out any of their procurement. He stated
further that both he and Mr.. Zimpelman
regarded the article with condemnation.
The explanation was kindly received, and
declaration made that the article was be-
meath notice. Owing, however, to its repi-
tition, we are led to publish this. The
impression is attempted to be conveyed
that the STATESMAN has been intimidated
This paper has been called upon, as a
matter of public interest, to discuss mat
ter in which the house of Forster, Ludlow
& Co. appeared. 1t was done as public
duty, without feeling against the members
of that house, and, If the necessity should
arise at any time to do SO again, it will GER
tainly be done. Whether it involves one
private citizen or another, one firm or an
other, the STATESMAN win not shrink from
such duties. The insinuations of the ''organ"
are of the basest nature, and so we publicly
regard them, and we are glad to know that
Gen. Ludlow and Mr.. Zimpelman look upon
them in the same manner.

L sHAKY ORGAN.

The Waco Examiner has DOTTED It's Demo
cratic garments and become thorough
consolidationist, and to this extentis Radical
lied. But among the wiseacres who have
constituted themselves the masters Of Texan
modes Of political thinking this thorough
rejection of the basic principles of Democ-
racy signifies nothing. The Examiner
sands by his ExceIlency and John Ireland,
lego Aaa9nsis)' and is, therefore, soundIy
Democratic. In other words, Texan poll
tics do not involve principles, but men.
Adhere to Coke, or to Ireland, or to the
leader for the day and, right or wrong, the
fawning sycophant's political and partisan
purity cannot be questioned. Here stands
the Esamin<r In its unsullied Democratic
linen, saying, in leading editorial having
reference to the North and the centennial:
ga common descent, q common history,
and common destiny await all the people
Of the nation, and when the great finale
comes, State lines will be dimmed and only
taken in account for the purpose Of geo.
graphical convenience" - 1,r
OF rece Mt years, since our Northern fellow
countrymen discovered the necessity for the
conversion of free States into plundered
provinces, Southern men who never think
have learned to speak of '.the nation
There is and never was, in this sense, an
American nation" The term, as applied
to the Union, is a mismomer. The Achaian
league was as much a nation as that fedora
ton of which Maine and Texas are mem
bers. States are DationalIties constituting
an understandable ENTHUSIASTICALLY till
free trade is established and fishing, bounty
and navigation acts rescinded. Then the
Union, no longer profitable to New Eng
land, will become, in its blessed eyes, a
q rope of sand Invested of every suspicion
Of sanctity. States will then be integers
even in the eyes of Boston, and Massa-1
chusetts, resuming It's identity and hides
tructible statehood, will declare itself the
snation, and Boston its imperial capital.
But if the Examiner be the organ of his
Excellency or of the Democratic party of
Texas, the party here has creed of which.

AUSTIN is becoming a fayorite point of
aggregation for the children of the Celestial
Empire. In fact they are speedily attracted
by prosperity, and are dispersed as rapidly
when want or poverty come down upon any
locality. They have a Thermometer in
dirty linen which tells by its deepenel
stains how long poverty compels the owner
to wear it, and now San Francisco let
ter-writer tells us that every month,
two thousand five hundred Monaghan
laborers are added to 80, 900 already on this
coast. Our statesmen are puzzled to fora,-
see what effect the intermingling of so
great number of an uncongenial race may
exercise socially and politically on that se,,-
ton of the Union. Already they regulate
the wages of labor - not only on public
works, but in factories and in our house
holds. They monopOlize washing and
vegetable >peddling; they. control cigar
making, boots and shoes, underwear,
etc.; they are tinsmiths, watchmakers,
carpenters, broom-makers, fishermen, and
gardeners; they are very expert in woolt,n
fabrics. 1t is amazing how quickly they
learn to use American machinery. They
are excellent cooks and chamber servants
they are expert mouey-couuters in sbanls.
In fact they can turn their hands to
almost anything. They are industrious,
expert at bargaining, and very econorai-
cal AS house servants they are cleanly,
but apt to strike for higher wages, and VA
cate without notice. Dishonesty is rsthertoo
frequent, but the notions of European do
mestics are exorbitant, and housekeeping
would be impracticabIe without Chinamen.
chinawomen never hire out. Cinnamon
show no disposition to regard politics. We
never saw Chinaman tippie, but they
gamble universally, and exchange knocks
among themselves. A shilling goes further
than dollar with Americans, and, thotgf
they are quick to strike for wages, tiieS
work for whatever offers rather than bt
idle. Every man can read and write.

Tur facility with which some papors

THE facility with which some papers can
blow hot and cold, the honest Telegraph
tells us, is illustrated in the conduct of the
STATESMAN, (which approves today and
condemns tomorrow the conduct OF the
Oranges Even SO, and the STATESMAN
may approve to-day and condemn to-mOSs
row the conduct Of Governor Coke. II the
Oranges and the Governor were always do
ing precisely the same things, the SFATEs-
-sGAS, like the Tessyupa, might be always
landipg his BxceIleney. But times and
facts change, and We change with them.
The Oranges nominated a half-dozen asses
for seats in the constitutional convention,
as we were advised, in northern counties,
and the STATESMAN assaulted the Changes
aud the candidates, and condemned their
absurd hostility to lawyers without stint;
and then, again, when the Oranges have
acted wisely, the STATESMAN has lauded Mr..
Lang and his followers. TIE Tslegrspk

ence of the STATESMAN and for the plain
reason that the TslsgyupA IS an ''organ. =

STARTLING FACTs.-Elliott, of the Ga
sette, and Newcomb, of the San Antonio
Express, formerly partners in the State
printing, are not so fond of each other as
in days of yOre. Last week Elliott called
Newcomb the ''most villalnous Radical in
the State" and the latter seems to enter
tain about the same opinion of the former.
The cause of this i'll feeling, so far as we
are able to learn, runs back to the
time when the State Journal, (RadicaD,
and the Gazette, were printed on the
same press, in the building now occu-
pied by the Gazette, and when the proprie-
tors Of the two papers were partners in do
ing printing for the State. At that time the
Legislature was Democratic, but Governor
Davis and other Republicans were at the
head of the several State departments,
therefore the partnership of Elliott 6 New
comb had been formed, we are left to be-
heve, with the view of combining So
called Democratic and Republican influences
for the purpose of securing Democratic and
Republican patronage Everything went
on very well for while, aud probably con-
siderable money was made, but, on the wind
up, and when the day for general settle
ment rolled around, trouble came, and a
difference of about $700 prevented an ami
cable settlement, and now Newcomb is TAX
ing steps to recover the amount through the
courts. He states that for the 500 worth
of printing done by the establishment
over which the quarrel RACES. he never
received cent; not only that, but he fur
ther says Elliott run the same bill up from.
$500 to over $1,000, collected the money
and kept it all, thereby swindling the State
out of over $500, and his partner out OF
half of the remaining $7OO. AS the mat.
ter is to be adjusted at the next term Of
the district court, we have no comment to
make, further than to remark that it looks
decidedly ugly. itfas D7h-lA 'lh 7-.la''''

KEENLY will Texans everywhere sympa-

able to bear it; but there were three hun

ranium OF a fun-Ioving people.

WE never supposed that the old railways
would suffer the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe to be completed. II built they must
own it. A road costing only SIS, 600 per
mile would reduce rates Of railway charges
in Texas certainly one-third or one-half, and
this would. be most unfortunate for the
Central and International lines 1t was
necessary either to buy the Santa Fe road
or make it cost $50, 900 per mile. Which
horn of the dilemma, or whether either, has
been seized by tie railway rings we are not
ADVISED, but newspapers say Gen. Bragg
was forced to resign because sort of Credit
Mobilier was organized by whichth money
was taken out of one pocket and put in the
other, with as-heavy per cent. added before
it was showed down into the "othern
pocket. In other words, railway builders
have nice little ways of trading with them
selves. The director and contractor is the
same man, and when fellow makes con-
tract with himself, or his own representa-
tive, he is sure to have a good thing on ono
side or the other, and generally on
both. Meanwhile those poor, innocent
people called stockholders soon see that the
money is all gone and road has been
built, the miles few, the cost enormous, but
the books showing clear balance sheet and
figures unable to lie. Of course, the road,
valueless as a paying investment, must be
sold, and the very men who robbed it use
their unholy gains to buy it. 1t is COM
monty supposed that railroads are straight;
but, when in course of construction, they do
have more crooked ways of progress than
the immortal snake that 'made the track,
andrwhether going north or coming back I"
no fellow could find out. We do not pre-
send to apply any of these reflections to
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway
Company, but present them that those
whose patriotism and anxiety to serve the
public impels them to "take in stock y
may watch and see that they themselves
