The largest measure of liberty
consistent with the well being of
the citizen, and the safety of the
State is fundamental principle of
the republican plan of government.
The obligation to defend govern
msnt implies the right to voice in
such government. The defeat Of
the poll tax provision in the Con-
vention, was a righteous disposi-
tion of the matter, and we trust it
will be long before such another at
tempt will be made to debar the
poor frem the ballot-box. 1t is a
maxim, that while the rich have all
the money, the poor have most of
the patriotism. With a good free
school system inpractice for twen,y-
one years, an intelligence qualifica-
tion may be insisted upon, but
while our form of government re-
mains as it is, no property or money
qualification can safely be advoca-
ted.

A Baltimore merchant was the
victim of sharp swindle the other
day. A man appeared at his store
in the guise of a telegraphic mes
senger, and delivered what purport-
ed to be dispatch from customer
in Washington, ordering some
goods. He signed his name in the
delivery book opposite the figures
which were supposed to represent
the number Of the dispatch. 1t
turned out, however that he had
signed his name to check for S233,
which was ingeniously concealed
under the page on which he wrote
his name, and so arranged that the
signature appeared in the usual
place for signing check. The ras.
cal Immediately went to the bank
got the money and made his escape.

Col Flournoy of Galveston, has
won the good opinion of the peo-
pie of the entire State by his manly,
liberal course upon all great ques-
tions of State polity, in the Conven-
tlon. The people of Texas know
how to reward their faithful public
servants, and no people on earth ex-
ceed them in gratitude. 1t might
be profitable thing for others to
do, to remember this trait as Tex
an trait.

The Telegraph, when speaking of
the rumor of a coalition between
the Changers and Radicals in the
Convention, is neither logical nor
consistent, as the extract we give
shows. The Telegraph, on numer-
ous occasions, has assumed to speak
for the Grangers, and when an op-
portunity comes for it to refute a
base slander upon the Order, it is
content TO make the following CO.
vert attack upon it !:
The publication of reports current In
Austin that an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, had been formed between the Grangers
and Radicals In the Convention, in pur.
suance Of which they were to exchange
votes, seems to have sprung mine In that
body. General Whitfield rises TO say that
he knows nothing Of such an intrigue, and
Mr.. Lynch avows his belief that the Grange
has nothing TO do with politics. Both gen
tlemen doubtless uttered the truth and yet
II 10 singular that neither they or any othel
member pronounced Of their own knowl'
edge the reports TO be unfounded,

GOV. CORF AND THE PEOPLE.

1t is sufficient reward for pub
lie officer TO receive at the hands of
the people he serves the need
os praise that Gov. Coke does. From
all over Texas, every nook and cor
ner, East, West, North and South,
comes the one universal note of
praise. Our means of information
on this subject are good, we are in
almost daily communication with
several places i'll eachs county, by
letter, and each correspondent,
though often writing on important
business and hunledly, finds time
to say: "Hurrah for Coke!" and
"We like you all the better for
your manly, vigorous and able
defence of his administration" +"
Upon such evidence as this we base
our conclusions that no man in the
State has so much of the popular
confidence, and no man in il can
beat him for the next Governorship.
We are convinced by his every
public act since his Inauguration,
as we were by his every private one
before it,that no purer patriot could
be entrusted with power, nor more
correct man selected to guard the
interests of the people of Texas.
Broad-viewed, liberal, progressive
and of sterling honesty, he has lift
ed up the credit of Texas and forced
a respect for her throughout the en-
tire nation, which has never been
paid her before, since the war. All
honor TO our noble chieftain.

Aye, that is the question. Is It better to
quiver from head to foot IN the paroxysms
OF fever and ague, or to Danish the atrocious
disease by course of that standard antife-
brilc remedy, Hostetter's Bitters. There
cannot be much doubt as TO the response OF
the malaria stricken TO this inquiry. From
every locality on this continent whose inhab-
itants are tormented with the shiyerirg
plague comes an increasing demand for the
only genuine preventative and eradicant OF
malaria provided by science. The denizens
OF fever and ague districts well know how
utterly inadequate to do more than give a
brief respite are the so-called remedies OF the
faculty. Quinine. arsenic, bismuth-what
are these hut poisonous palliativos, which
cease after time to produce any beneficial
effect whatever, and II persisted in wreak
irreparabie mischief upon the systemr Ev-
erywhere they are being abandoned by in
telligent persons, and that genuine vegeta-
BILE specific for intermittent and remittent
disease, Hostetter's Bitters, substituted In
their place. ocil0

II is said that the Russians have
avoided the provisions of Article
III of the treaty Of 1856, by keep
ing upon the Black Sea large fleet
of staunch vessels, subsidized by
the Imperial family, manned by
sailors retired from the navy for the
purpose, and so arranged that, while
plying ostensibly as merchantmen,
they can be converted into formida-
BILE men-of-war at a weeks notice,
or put to valuable service as trans.
ports.

There can be no adequate excuse
urged for the delay exhibited by
the Convention, because every day
spent in haggling and lowering over
immaterial points, but adds its sum
to the growing disposition among
the people to complain at the waste
Of time and money. Fix it up; go
home and let the people adopt it.

We are really astonished that the
crazy charge Of the Statesman of
October s, should create 80 much
stir, both in and ont Of the Conven-
ton. Every one who has read that
paper for the last twelve months
wonders at its vagaries. Some of its
follies have been sublime, and men
only are astonished at the height to
which they vault. No calm, reas.
oning being ever does anything
more than wonder, and perhaps
smile, when this rickity affair props
up its position before the Texas pub
lie with such follies as its recent
charge, that the Grange and Re
publican elements in the Conven-
ton have combined to force con
stitution upon the State, unworthy
of Texas and the civilization of the
age.
In one way, its objects are served
by these unworthy means, it keeps
itself before the public by them;
whereas, if left to its ability or pa
triotism, it would be forgotten long
ere the ink had dried, with which
the base stuff iswritten.
Now, we have complained at the
tardy action of the Conventions; we
are of the opinion that valuable
time has been wasted, and we com
planned at the delay, which has, and
which, evidently will yet character
ize the labors of the body we are
considering, and while we hate Rad
icalism with devoutness to which
the Statesman is an entire stranger,
no thought of blaming them for the
delay ever entered our mind.
We have deprecated in advance
the disposition to cut down the sal
aries of public officials to a point
below which able and devoted mer'
il will refuse to labor; and the
Grange, Notwithstanding its vel
understood policy of retrenchment
and reform, has sustained us in oul
position, and the Statesman's charge
that the reduction was due tc
Grangerism, and Radicalism, is en-
tirely gratuitous, and utterly un
founded.
We do not know that there is
single Granger present in the Con
yention in that character, and
there be any there who assume t
speak for the Grange upon an
question, he is violating his hone
and exceeding every legitimate il
Huence contemplated by the Orde
There are Democrats who are ais
Grangers in the Convention, the
are there by reason of their Demo-
racy, and not because of the
Grangerism, and this little atteml
to drag the Order into politics
strife, and a miserable political ass
citation, is so ridiculous, ar
, displays such sublimity I
effrontery and self-satisfied me
