had been committed, it was thought
that the code Of the duello might be

him several violent blows over the head
with n bludgcon. Tho parties then

Is casting around so desperately fOi
something to say to help themselves,
the Ohio Radicals are taking the State
Of Texas to oxemplify their charges
against the Democratic party in the
matter Of the public schools. Let US
look at the late history Of Texas for a
moment. In January, 1870, the Rad
ical carpct.bag administration Of Davis
commenced. When he took charge
there was S347 $50 in money in the
State Treasury; the State was free
from debt, and the rate Of taxation was
fifteen cents on the 800.
When Governor Coke assumed
charge as q Democratic Governor in
1874, he found this rate Of taxation
increased from Is cents to 81 rs on
the 500, and the Treasury warrants
Of the State selling nc 40 cents on the
dollar. while the State debt amounted
to over 100000. Since he took
charge, this rate has been reduced to
fifty cents on the 500; Texas bonds
are now selling above par in New
York, and the State is prosperous and
happy. Verify, Texas is one of the
very worst States 10 the Union for the
Radicals to select as an excmplifcation
Of the difference between Radical and
Democratic governments. The grca,
wonder is that if they will falsify, why
they don't lie with judgment.
