John MITCHELL.

We knew John Mitchell when he was
writing brilliant papers in 1sSs4-5. The
famous Epiniasr-it wasn't Grange or
gan by any means-and the Eaquinsr were
indebted for many most admirable editO-
rails to the vigorous genius and simple elo-
queneo Of John Mitchell. Prior to this
Mitchell was editor Of a radically Demo
cratic African slave-trade paper at Knox

Toll.

After all the violence of feeling engen-
dered by discussions of the subsidy bill
we can't help believing that its opponents
are honest and desire to settle fairly and
honorably with the builders of the Interna-
'ional. A writer for daily newspaper
writes just as the impromptu orator speaks.
The pencil runs as rapidly as the tongue and
defines the impulses, passions and emotions
of the moment as accurately as Epperson or
Culberson transfuse the life-blood of their
sympathies and thoughts into the veins
and arteries and nerves Of their hea-ers.
There is no personal feeling involved.
Il is only thorough consciousness Of
right that begets profound earnestness
developed in earnestness Of expression. 1t
is very difficult to see how men equally
honest can differ so widely on so plain and
simple an issue; and yet such is the fact.
Believing now that the wishes of the
great body of the people of Texas viii be
accomplished, and final and satisfactory
adjustment of the International subsidy
bill effected, we are induced to say this
much in behalf of the restoration of unity
everywhere, IN and ont of the capital.

bare majority, and there It meets its heav-
lest foe.-Eraminer, Fe6. 10.
OUTSIDE PRESSURE
The outside pressure to force the lnteIna-
tional compromise through the Legislature
is, and has always (since the session began)
been, tremendous. Nor has 1t been con-
fined to mere argument; all the means by
which men are Influenced have been used
and exhausted. Threats, intimidations and
insults have been freely used upon the men
who have stood by their constituents in
their opposition to this, the crowniRg in
fanny OF the State. But It will fail. The
bill will never become law. No good
cause is ever served effectually by such
means. The company is sensible that when
their bill is thrown back upon its bare merits
defeat, utter and crushing, must be Its
inevitable fate.-ESeminer, Feb. II.

THE course Of events, in 1776, one hun
dred years ago, was in the direction of To-
cal and personal freedom in 1876, 1t has
been reversed, and States are stricken down,
the people msnacled, and despOt is gath
ering about him every incident of lawless,
personal government. Ark. nsas, West Vir-
gina and Texas occupy precisely the same
relations, with one another, to the Federal
Union. Congress will take no action in
reference to these States, and then Grant,
as lie has declared, will interpose and Gar
land goes down. Why not the rest.
