WHILE we no not probably agree
with DR.. Ashbel Smith in wishing to

fer he does from recent articles in the

cordially endorse the following, which
we take from that paper DR.. Smith
is too old u citizen and too honest a
one to permit him to oppose the new
instrument on the grounds alleged.
We have known him long and init
mately, lahdgthere is no man in the

dence of the people oflexas:
The Waxahachie Enterprise goes
outside of propriety, We think, in its
remarks upon Dr. Ashbel Smith. He
hasitoo much tile Interest of Texas at
heart to wish the Constitution defeated
because he had no hand in forming it,
and his record as an honest conscien-
tious and able legislator precludes the
idea of his being eaptious in his oh.

Tie city of Cincinnati has arrived at
condition that requires the interference
of the State Legislature. If city can
not, or will not, protect its citizens.
higher power should interfere and take
control. The government should be
taken out of the hands of the drunken,
brutal Democratic rufians who now rule
it. The Legislature next winter will be
Republican, and it should see to this
matter.
We have been induced to say this
much, after reading of the conduct of the
Democratic officials at the recent cleo
ton. The Gazette says:
THE CRIMES OF THE PoLICE-The color
ed citizens of Cincinnati are an industri-
Gus, selfsupporting, orderly, and respec-
table people They have their separate
establishment of schools, governed and
taught by themselves; their full quota
of meeting-houses, their social organiza-
tions; they are not seen as idlers on our
streets. and it is not perceived that they
have more than the white proportion of
vicious, criminal and burdensome classes.
| They are entitled to as much respect and
to as careful protection of their persons
and rights as any class of citizens. But
| they were treated by Mayor Johnston S
police at the election polls as if they were
all criminals. Even this is stating it too
mildly, for the police have no right to do
brutal violence to criminals who make
no resistance. But the police, many of
whom were intoxicated and many more
| low brutes, assumed to treat every col
ored man who came to the polls as an
| illegal voter, and to arrest him and lock
him up for the day, unless he happened
to have influential white men to back or
bail him
What a cruel system was this which
made a citizens color a crime or pre-
tense of suspicion, and dragged him to
prison away from his employment and
family and insulted him with the treat
ment of felon! But this was not the
worst. The police encouraged the crowds
of low and brutal Irish at the polls to
hustle and beat colored men who came
to the polls to prevent their voting and
to intimidate others. They looked on
and saw and stimulated this brutality,
and when they interfered at all it was to
club the colored men who had been as
saulted, and to drag them to prison.
| They also abused and threatened, and in
| some cases arrested white citizens who
demonstrated against this outrage, or
who offered bail If it had not been for
the uncommonly large turnout of Repub-
licans to stay by the polls, this police and
mob violence would have taken entire
possession of the polls As it was. the
outrages were so gross, and the practice
SO plainly designed and ordered by the
police head, that an associated effort is
demanded of our citizens to see if there
is any law for the punishment of police
crimes, and for the protection of un-
offending citizens from maltreatment by
those who are their ape nted protectors,

papers have claimed that S. F. Wetmore,
Postmaster at Waverly, was behind with
his accounts, to the amount of about

mouth, published card in which she
stated that Mr.. Wetmore had to make
his payments to her, and that he paid

Portsmouth Globe, whose editor was
once in partnership with Mr. Wetmore,
says:
The Pike County Republican, S F.
Netmores paper, of last week. announces
that the senior editor, S. F. Wetmore,
has mysteriously disappeared without
cause or provocation, leaving an affec-
tionate family, and his position as post
master of Waverly, when there is no
| charge against him except a small draft
of little over one hundred dollars
which could be paid at any time. HUI
man action, very often, like human affec
ton. cannot be accounted for We know
Mr.. Wetmore, and we believe him to be
wholly insane on this subject of living
with family and having fixed abode
He would have left if he had been in {
situation of even greater profit or honor
He seems to be a victim to such spells
Previous to his settlement in this city
he had been absent from his family nint
years.

CRUEL.

Bro Gould, of the Jackson Herald, was
too cruel and sarcastic last week. He
felt so sore over losing what little he had
of the public printing, that he went back
on the last Democratic officials who held
power in this county, in 1858, and carica-
tured them as they packed off the sink
ing fund from the treasury, and sank it
in Iron Valley Furnace. Our Brother
had no cut which fully represented the
case in point, but he used large stove,
which of course would lead the mind to
the furnace in which the Democratic
officials swamped $4,000 of the public
money. OH Bro. Gould. How could
you so run the cold iron into their Dem
ocratic souls?
