TEXAS NEWS AND OPINIONS.

The Statesman is the only AUS
tin paper taking the dispatches. II
is dispatched oitener at any rate,
than the others, but like Banquo's
Oh ost, it will not down. We glory
in its "nub."
The Waco Register goes INTO ex-
tacy over the defeat of the Poll
Tax resolution, and writes the mat.
ter down Bourbon Waterloo.
Now, this is only the first time the |
Register has been candid enough to |
acknowledge that any wing OF the
Democracy entertained a liberal
sentiment. The fault is not with
the Democracy, it Is the tardy jus.
tice OF the Register.
The Telegraph is "fornenst" low
salaries, and gives cogent reasons
for the faith that is in HIM.
The Telegraph claims to be the
first paper which insisted upon the
call of the Convention. Now, we
think the very first was the Exami-
ner, but we will wait until the Con.
stitution is submitted, before we
crow over that act.
Our lively little contemporary, the
Paris North Texan, strains for the

a relief the withdrawal of that cad"
will be to our little friend He'll
feel as though he had wen "cut

Both our Waco dailies are larger
than the Mobile daily Register, and
yet some people-even "yallerham'
mers"-advise people to stay away
from Texas.

have prevented dispassionate con-

and Just of Governor Coke to con-
template these plain facts aud fail
to avert these grevious public calam-
tiles?
The Statesman answers its own
query in the affirmative, and in a
most unqualified way.

Mexico aud the Frontier.

A train richly freighted with
goods from Matamoras has been
lost.
The election passed off quietly at
San Luis Potosi. The government
ticket won.
The Mexican Senate has not met
yet for want of a quorum.
Troops have left Tabasco to attack
the rebels in the State of Chiapas.
The rebels are being furnished with
men and arms by the Guatemalian
government.
a revolution broke out in the
State of Guerrero against the State
government. The Federal troops
tried to quell the insurrection but
were defeated by the rebels. More
government troops under the COM
mand of Gen. Molina have been
ordered to the place of insurrec-
ton.
There is much excitement in the
City of Mexico because an old In

and old Mexican pays the cost of
digging in the heart of the city.

getting hold of it. This person
says he has found all the signs a

neys and some stone stars leading
to subterranean passage have beer
discovered.

The News of the sth, in able ar
ticle on the subject of corporations
and their accountability to the peo-
pie, says;
The most important chartered
bodies in this country are those
which are private in one respect and
public in another. They are pri-
vate as regards the private profit
which the incorporators have in
view. They are public as regards
the purpose for which they are au-
thorized by specific grant to exer-
else certain public franchises. They
have no right to appropriate such
franchises without returning, to ex-
tent of their ability, an equivalent
public benefit. They have no right
to accept and administer public
trust with the sole thought of pri-
vatc aggrandizement, and, when
charged with dereliction of public
duty, to plead exemption from pub
lie accountability. In reason, in
equity, in good conscience, no pro-
positions ought to be clearer than
these. Yet nothing has been more
common than to misapprehend them
in theory and to gainsay them in
practice. They have for the most
part been thrust under the night
side of our latter day civilization,
and precedence has been given to
bold and garisb assumptions claim
ing, in the name of vested rights,
absolute property in public fran
chises. The popular mind, the legal
mind, the judicial mind, all were
more or less dominated by this in
ordinate fallacy.
The Jefferson Jimplicute has this
to say of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry
We no longer hear denunciations
of the Order that were so common
a short while ago, but all sensible
men admit that the great points for
which the Grange was organized
will be fully achieved,
In an able article of Oct. 7th, the
Statesman answers the Bolton Re
view on the action of the Conven-
ton in passing the restraining reso-
luton, and the Governors acquies-
cence therein has the following:
As question of expediency,
there can be no doubt that if the
power to postpone the meeting OF
the Legislature be vested in the Con-
that its action was wise.
The ordinance condemned by the
Review prevents a costly and need
less registration, aneedless and cost
ly election, and prevents convo-
cation of the Legislature more need

Our Austin special will be found
interesting this morning, though
brief. We, of course, do not know
what the article of the Statesman
charges, or what its grounds are,
but one thing we are prepared to
say, and that is, that the charge of
collusion between Grangers and Re
publicans for any purpose, would be
a monstrocity of no ordinary form,
and give it with the imperfect
lights yet before us, an unqualified
denial. We fear our way-ward
friend has again put his foot in it,
and badly too, as our report indi-
Gates.

wHxy NECESSARY

The military arm of the State
government subservient TO, and con
trolled by the civil power, is an en-
gine as terrible as il is efiicacious in
forcing that respect for regularly
constituted authority, which is so
necessary to the well-being of gov
ernment. We are not of those who
believe that it should be invoked
upon every trivial occasion, or at
any time, indeed, except when all
other means fail; but the simple re-
Election that behind the mild pacific
sway of the civil power, thus stands
in solid phalanx the soldiers of the
State, ready and prompt to enforce
the behests of the civil authority,
one-half of the work is already done.
Now, in States long at peace, like
Texas, the lawless and daring, who
have sought our frontier grow skep-
teal as to the disposition of the
government to resort TO severe
measures to bring to punishment
those who violate the law, and
rely upon force to prevent its execu-
ton.
A few exhibitions of the stern
power represented by the bayonets
of the government, at long inter
walls, or upon proper occasions, are
often healthy measures, and become
necessary, especially in districts
where the turbulent and lawless do
congregate. The maintainance OF
respect for law, in country such as
ours, is of paramount Importance,
and although we are apt to shudder
at the bare idea of the bayonet,yet,
as in desperate diseases, the knife |
becomes necessary, and is then the
minister of health, so when thu. body |
polite becomes diseased, the bayo-
net becomes the remedy, which res
torres the lawl9ss of the State to n |
healthy regard for the well-being
of society.
The patience and forbearance of
our State government with regard
to the lawless outbreaks on the Rio |
Grande, was worthy of all praise,
but.it is notable as well as an incon-
trovertible fact, that peace did not
come to the troubled citizens there
until the State power panoplied
with bayonets, appeared on the
scene, and in short time the troub-
les were over.
In the Mason county affair, and
in the more recent but equally Sc
rious troubles in Coryell, the same
stern remedy will have to
be resorted to, before the lawless
will understand that the day has
passed, when the majesty of the
law, and the authority of the State,
can be insulted with impunity. Men
must be taught that the power to
take life, rests only with the law.
1t is indescribably painful to us to
say it, but the Governor of Texas
must see to il that the laws be exc
cuted in the disturbed districts
named, at all hazards and at any
cost. The good and law-abidine
people of the State will sustain the
effort to drive from our confines
the murderers who are darkening
her fair fame by their deeds %
blood.

We are recently in receipt of q
letter from the Superintendent OF

ing its usefulness to the Order. We

One of the most valuable feat.

In the following brief article, the
Sherman Register utters as signifi-
cant truth as was ever uttered.
We do not know what Governor
Coke's private views on this point
are, but one thing we do know,
were we in his place, with his re-
cord, we would hail with delight
the opportunity which another can
vass would afford, of seeing the
people, and from the stump, of Civ.
ing them that inside view, which
propriety has thus far rendered i'm
possible
We understand from friends who have
heard Governor Coke express himself on
the subject Of new deal, that he fayors the
idea, and weuld be glad OF an Opportunity
10 30 before the people for an endorsement
Of his administration. He Will be candi-
date for reelection, and no man in Texas
can beat him.

Aye, that is the question. Is II better to

of fever and ague, or to Danish the atrocious
disease by course of that standard antife-
brile 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 shiyering
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 Quinlne, arsenic, bismuth--what
are these but poisonous palliatives, which
cease after time to produce any beneficial
effect whatever, and II persisted in wreak
irreparable mischief upon the system? Ev-

arts. And is ii not possible that we
as people have lost the art of max
ing and executing laws that the an
clients once professed 1t seems they
looked only to the law and the testi-
mony in deciding cases of difficulty
between mon. If Obadiah and Zero
babel differed about the .ownership of
camel or an ass they were taken
before the judge, who heard all their
testimony and then decided between
them, and that was the end of it.
They did not mount an officer on a
camel and send him all over the
province to bring in thirty shepherds,
and then give Obadiah and Zerobabel
leave to pick out twelve of the shep-
herds to decide between them, on
the ground that they feared the
judge wasn't honest. Oh, no they
did not offer any such insult to their
judges in old times, and we are glad
of it, for they were relatives of ours,
all descendants of Adam. But we
will not decide this question now.
We may find material enough in it
for another lesson.

Legislative Nominations.

During the past week the Republi
cans of the southern and western dis-
tricts of Grant have each nominated
a candidate for member of the Assem-
bly,. In the first district Mr.. w. D.
JONES', of Hazel Green, is the nominee.
He was nominated as the choice of
the Republicans and it may well be
presumed he will receive their votes.
Mr.. Jones has resided at Hazel Green
over 90 years. He is widely known
as a gentleman and an honest man.
What he attempts he undertakes with
that will and consciousness which
makes him popular. The gold and
silver and greenbacks in all the banks
of Madison would not buy his vote or
favor on any legislative measure. He
has the qualifications to make an eff.
cient legislator and will probably be
elected by COED majority over any
competitor the Democracy will pro-
duce. In the fourth Assembly dis
trict Mr.. John W. Bracket, of Bloom
ington, is the Republican nominee.
This gentleman received very COM
plimentary vote considering the pop
ularity of his several contestants for
the honor of nomination. The pro-
ceedings of the convention will be seen
elsewhere. The convention acted
wisely in nominating Mr.. Bracket.
He has abundant qualifications and
sufficient experience in public life to
make valuable legislator. He is
farmer by occupation, and has the
confidence and esteem of host of &C
quaintances. We expect Mr.. Brack
EFT to be elected by good majority
in November.
