THE WEST ANA oovEa.on ooKE

The San Antonio Herald, devoted as it
tate to do justice TO Governor Coke and
tell the simple truth when it says of his re
cent message to the Legislature that
We have rarely read a document so re-
plete with interest or marked by greater
ability. 1t is Herculean task to which
the Governor has applied himself, and we
in all sincerity believe that there is scarcely
another man in the whole State, who would
apply himself. as Governor Coke has done,
20 cleansing the Augean stable which rep
resented the condition Of Texas upon his
advent to the executive office. Governor
Coke unites in himself great many extra
ordinary traits of character, all of which
combined admirably adapt him to the filling
OF the position he now occupies. His abil-
ity Is universally conceded, he Is patient in
investigation, exceedingly methodical in
collating his researches, and very apt to ar
rive at just and logical conclusions. In re-
gard 10 some few of his measures, we have
been constrained to differ from him, and in
doing 80 have been conscious that in the
course adopted by him in regard to those
very measures he was no less honest
and sincere than in his every other policy
which has marked his administration.
The Herald is so thoroughly well pleased
with his Excellency in the place he now fills
that it would not have him transferred to
the Federal Senate; 'but, ," says the Her.
aid, 1--WE must confess that if the Legisla-
ture elect him to the Senate, there is moth
ing on his part, either implied or expressed,
of which we have heard, to prevent his ac-
ceptance, should he deem it expedient."

1EsK LEGIsLATURF.

The Fifteenth Legislature met on the
eighteenth Of April, aud most of the time
since tie session Commenced has been. con-
sumed in putting the two houses in work
ing order. Hon. r. Il. Bonner, of Tyler.
and Hon. d. L. BiIz IA, OF Houston, were
the two leading candidates for the speaker
ship of the HOUSE. Bonner received forty
five and Birz'Za forty-three votes on the
second ballot. Ia the Senate, Senator
Wells Thompson, of Colorado county, was
elected President pro tenapOre Of the Senate.
The various committees OF the two houses
have been organized with much care,
and are entering upon their du-
ties. The inaugural ceremonies oc-
speeches OF the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor will he perused by tire readers of
the STATESMAN with much interest. They
are full of patriotism aud good sense. The
message of the Governor is an able docu-
ment aud is full Of wise suggestions for the
good government of Texas. 1t is very
vOluminous, and the Legislature proposes to
have published and irtulated among the
people large edition of 1t. ......
The election Of IA United States Sc nator
is the all-absoTbing topic. John Hancock
has been standing candidate for this posi-
ton and his friends claim that it belongs 10
him by right. and III consideration of his
douJttul Democratic record. He heard that
his goose was cooked and wrote lee6er to
Texas, which his friends had published,
in which he stated that his services
were demanded constantly at Washington
in the interests Of Texas, and that he
would not be in Austin to enter into d
vulgar scramble for the SenatOIship. He
no doubt thought this would win, but hear
ing by telegram that his fortunes were
about gone, he is coming post haste and
will be here to enter into the ''vuglar"
scramble, that he but the other day pre-
tended to scorn. lie will reach Austin to-
day.
The other working candidate is John
Ireland. He has been here for weeks, hard
at work. and he has host of friends, who
have gone into the service with him. They
are vgilant as beavers and are attacking
Coke right and left, while they are very
easy on John Hancock. Coke is the candi-
date of large number of friends for the dis
tinguished position of U. S. Senator, but we
never heard that Coke, in one single in
stance, has said one word upon the subject.
If he Is elected Senator it will be sponta-
neous tribute to his worth offered by the
people of Texas, for he does not seek the
position. In the meantime there are sew
eral other gentlemen who, in certain events,
may be compromise candidates. Among
them are that excellent gentleman, Thomas
j. Devine, and the distinguished scholar
and statesman, f. s. S5oekdale, either Of
whom would fill seat in the United States
Senate with great credit to our State. 500.
