THE DEN0CIaTIG PARTY IN TEXAS.

The Germans of Texas who allowed
themselves to be seduced into assisting
the Democracy into power in that State,
harvest already the fruit of their sowing
The scandalous administration of the
Bourbon Democracy, which has treated
the Germans base ly, has opened their
eyes. The feeling among them is in
tense, and the entire German press of
the State is unanimously denouncing the
Democracy as band of German-hating
secessionists, bunglers, blockheads, liars.
traitors, etc This bitter feeling was still
further heightened by the State Consti-
tufion perpetrated by a Democratic
Convention This provides for d Local
Option law, and reestablishes slavery
in the form it has been reestablished liz
Alabama, where any citizen-that is, any
negro-may, on account of any of his
IN sdemeanors, be arrested by any justice
of the peace, or constable. and sold to
the highest bidder for a term of years.
Every one knows that the whites of
the South hate the public schools.
The Democracy of Texas has therefore
prohibited townships and municipalities
from taxing themselves for the support
of schools. Even if an entire commu-
nifty desired to institute schools it could
not be done under the new Constitution.
How the school system fiourishes in Tex
as under Democratic Iule is shown by
the fact that in the larger cities-as
in the country districts,
Is there a single school.

Rep. maj. 10, 55I. Dem. maj, A., ,026.

These districts are represented by
Messrs. Lamar, Singleton, Money, and
acknowledgements. The change is in
deed significant and cannot be explained
by any other process than that of op-
preston which the Confederate Democ-
racy have been for eight years past en-
gagged in perfecting. The total vote on
members for the last Congress in the
districts cited was 81, 675; that for the
present members is 81, 926-a total in
crease of Is, PSI votes. There is an in
crease shown of 81. .4l4 Democratic, aud
a decrease of -, 163 Republican votes.
There is nothing in the politics of Mis-
sissippi to Justify so extraordinary n
change by any of the normal agencies
and influences. The only way in which
it could be effected is that one in which
the Confederate Democrats are so pro-
ficient; the organization of terror and
violence In Alabama there can be no
doubt that the same processes have
seated at least one half of the present
Democratic delegation in that State.
So also with regard to at least two of the
three rebel officers occupying seats rom
Louisiana. In Virginia, john Goode,
Jr., is notoriously occupying a seat to
which James II. Platt, Jr., was elected
In Tennessee and North Carolina the
same protection to person and opinion,
the same right OF free speech and can
vassing, which the loyal States have al
ways maintained, would give us from
four TO six, il not more, Republican
members of Congress. Arkansas would
add two to the list, and freedom in
Texas would result in electing at least
that number.
The object of these references is to
establish this point: that there are to-
day in the House of Representatives
certainly a score or more OF ex-Confed-
crate soldiers and politicians holding
seats as Democrats whose districts are
largely Republican in politics. The vo-
ters OF the majority being in the main
freedmen, defenseless and poor. have
been overawed at the polls, driven away,
or kept from appearing there in order to
secure the minority the represf ntation
which belongs to the institutional ma
i0rity And herein lies the secret of the
ability of MIR. Hill to boast that the
''South is here" and his further decla-
ration that ''she has come to stay" is
notification to the country that the same
diabolical means will be employed to
perpetuate the present Democratic su-
premacy in Southern politics.
The simple question before the coun-
try TO day is, Are there enough dough-
fares in the North willing to clasp hands
with the South, united by fraud, terror
ism, and violence, to control the des-
tines of the nation, and render of no
effect the blood and treasure lavished so
freely to save the Republic? And, in
the light of the events of the past fifteen
years, it is momentous question. Are
the loyal men of the Moth ready for the
question:

4 PARTOF THE RECORD.


In the House of Representatives JAR
nary 6, 1876, Mr.. Cason, of Indiana.
offered the following resolution;
''We owe the preservation of the Un-
ion, the establishment of peace, and the
enforcement of law and order, to the
bravery and patriotic devotion of the
loyal soldiers to the Union and its cause. =
1t passed, the vote standing 142 yeas,
to nays. Thinking this a favorable
opportunity, the House having so hand
soInely recognized the claims of Union
soldiers, MI Fort introduced the follow
ing resolution; and demanded the pre-
vious question on its passage:
.'Resolred, That the doctrine just an
nouneed by the House in the resolution
of the gentleman from Indiana NJ.
Cason) is so wise and just that in the
Judgment of this House ii should be fol-
lowed by officers of the House in filling
subordinate places under their authority,
and that in all such cases they are in
structed 10 give to well qualified Union
soldiers preference oyer soldiers of the
late Confederate army"
Mr. Morrison, Democrotic leader of
the House, was on his feet in an instant
with the expression of the hope that the
resolution would be referred to his COM
mittee. The House falling to second
the previous question, Mr.. Wood made
haste to show his subseryiency to the
Southern Brigadiers, with a motion to
refer to the Centennial Committee; and
it was so referred, by a strict party vote,
tue Democrats well knowing that they
were sending it to its long home. Let
this part ofthe record be kept in remen-
brance.

sued by a girl for her wages, as servant
at his house in the country. He put in
the very just defence that she was under
contract to stay a certain time. but left
before it was up; hence, he refused to
pay her. He would have had justice,
had he rested his defence there, but he
added bill of the expense it cost to get
the girl, including fare to New York,
and board for himself and wife at a
hotel, intelligence office fees, journey to
the girls home in Connecticut, her fare
out and back, which amounted to nearly
S40,0 which the court stupidity refused
to consider as anything but joke,
though the employers who have the
same frequent trouble to get a servant
and have her leave when she is fairly of
use to them, are not inclined to so take
the decision. The case will probably
have an effect in decidedly abating the
servant girl nuisance, by the ventilation
which it will cause to the employees
side of the subject, for many who hire
servants will not be slow to make the
masters case their own in this instance.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Are you all coming to the Centennial
The railroads running into New York
have decided to reduce the fare so that
the people may come to New York first,
and see the metropolis as well as the
great show at Philadelphia. The hotel
keepers hold meeting next week, but
whether it is to reduce the rates or de-
eide how much additional skinning the
people will stand, don't know. Prob
ably the latter. For a hotel keeper in
this city never had conscience, and
very little business sense. PIETRo.

.OUTRAGES on GERMANS IN THE
SOUTH.

1t appears that the White League il
not particular in its choice of victims in
Louisiana. Next to the negroes. the
Germans who have settled there since
the war, are especially odious to these
high-toned cut -throats. The Chicago
Stats ZeituRg says that ''for the past
fifty years Know Nothingism has ragged
chiefly in the three former slave States
of Maryland, Kentucky and Louisiana.
1t has to a great extent disappeared from
the first two, but in Louisiana there still
prevails the gloomiest and most perse-
cutting spirit of nativism and hatred to
Germans"
This intolerance, instead of dying
out, has been intensified by the loyalty
of the Germans of the North during the
rebellion, and their fidelity to the prin-
ciples of justice upon which the Repub
lican party is founded 1t has been
augmented more recently by the success
of Germany against the French, for
whom the Creoles cherish the greatest
sympathy, until now industrious and
law abiding Germans are shot and
stabbed with as great ferocity as the
poor and inoffensive negroes A most
aggravated case of this devilish spirit of
persecution occurred lately in the parish
of West Feliciana. John Albers, one of
the victims, describes this double vio-
lence in letter to the Deutsch Zeitung,
of New Orleans, as follows:
''On the 23d of December of last year
| reached New Orleans in company with
my wife and five children, one of whom
was thirteen years old. On the 24th of
December, with my brother i'll law, w.
Z. Kruse, we reached the Parish of the
West Feliciana. Suddenly, two O'Clock
of the morning of the 5th of January,
we were awakened by a fearful noise at
the door of my brother-in laws dwelling
house, and were violently expelled amid
threats and insults. After we all had
been driven out of the house, we saw
about fifteen men on horseback armed
with guns and pistols and masked. Our
prayers and entreaties that they would
allow us to at least take covering enough
to cover us were in vain. They hardly
gave us time enough to get out of the
house. The children were put out max
ed, and my wife, who had been preg
nant for seven months, was beaten and
cruelty maltreated. Then the band set
fire to the dwelling house and to out |
buildings, and, when any of our family |
tried TO save some clothes, the articles |
were thrust into the flames. i lost all |
my papers, tools, clothes, bedding,-in
short. all had, and was suddenly re-
duced to a destitute condition."
Yet many people believe that Mr. |
Blaine and Senator Morton, should not |,
dare to open their lips against this bar
barous state of things. Cleceland Lead
