The TEXAS DELEGATION AND THE
PRESIDENT.

few days since the Texas congress
sional delegation in body called upon
Mr.. Hayes. The interview is represen>
ted as very pleasant one, and from
the presidents standpoint, very salts
factory. Governor Coke was spokes>
man and assured the president that in
his efforts to purify the government
and to bring together the two recently
widely separated sections of the coun-
try, he had and would have to the end
the sympathy and active support Of the
delegation, rs well as the moral strength
OF this great state, and the delegation
did not transcend the line in this, and
did not do anything but what the
people of the state will ratify and en-
dorse. We are willing to work with
any influence and IN any way to serve
these two great purposes
The delegation took the opportunity
to urge Judge Ballinger's name
for the vacant place on the supreme
bench made by the resignation of Judge
Davis. In this. we think they were
wrong not but fshat Judge Ballinger
is, as q lawyer fully the equal Of Judge
Davis, and as man and patriot, the
peer Of the proudest and best, but
because Mr.. Hayes, with the solitary ex.
ception Of Judge Key. has appointed
no single democrat TO office, and in this
instance. we suspect he would hardly
have violated the rule indeed, that
since the late presidential progress,
would be the verdict of the whole coun-
try. nor indeed in Judge Balliuger's case
would he have violated it to any consid.
cradle extent But the Texas delega-
ton are TO man democrats. and they
represent democratic majority of one
hundred and twenty thousand, and Mr..
Hayes is not strong enough to carry the
odium which would attach 10 the act
among the republicans. Mt Hayes ha.
not made mp his mind to throw himself
into the arms of the democrats, nor "a
declare himself the champion Of either
wing of the republican party. Blaine
and Conkling are foes against whom
the presidents hesitates to level his lance
although they have flung him the
gauntlet in unequiyocsl and positive
action. The Ohio election is new and
by no means measuring revelation.
The president has A triangular dilemma
before him. eithe- horn OF which viii
give him trouble enough, without put
ting the representative lawyer Of Texas
on the supreme bench
This we regard US = calamity TO the
country. because Baiiineer is in,meas.
urnbiy the superior man of the two
ard Harlan will never do the Quantity
nor the quality Of work which Balm.
ger would have done.
/ II would perhaps be well, If in the
4 future our delegation would resolve "a
be sharry Of commanding any demo
evat for official position, eonknia1

all the blacks at the South. giving
the Southern States Of the demo.
cracy. But as those States are
already democratic, Mr.. Blaine
thinks he will lose nothing. To
compensate for solid democratic
South, his proposed amendment
would operate much harder against
the democracy in the Northern
States than against the republi-
cans. It would cut out enough
Northern democrats to give oil
the great States at the North to
the republicans. This is the way
Mr.. Blaine figures it out. He will
doubtless come before the next
Congress and propose an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution
basing suffrage upon some in
tellectual qualification and re-
straining representation to the
voting population and not basing
it as at present upon the actual
number of inhabitants. He will
propose this to the South as .
trade. At the last Congress the
trade proposed by Stanley Mat
thews was give us the President
and we will give you the South !;
give us the control of the national
money chest and we will give
liberty to every one Of your States !
We accepted the terms of that
offer because it was pretty certain
that il We failed to accept 1t we
would get neither the Presidency
nor the States. Now, Mr.. Blaine,
determined to beat Mr.. Matthews
at his own game, will propose to
the south-eive us the North
ern States and the control OF the
money chest, by ratifying my
Amendment, and We will give
Won freedom all fear of debased
and ignorant ballot! Senator
Blaine is playing shrewd game.

the Russian troops. According to
the Austrian government organ.
the depression which prevailed in
the Russian army after the recent
defeat was far too great to be OK
planned by the loss Of single bat
tie, and this for very grave rea-
son. The Russians were not SO
much dismayed by the repulse
sustained as by the experience
that the particular mode Of attack
upon which their generals relied
for a century or two had proved
entirely Intellectual now. Indeed.
they realized at Plevna that q
bayonet charge Of lnassed columns
had become practically impossible
in these breech- loading days.
They were taught that q system
Of tactics which always involved
the sacrifice OF thousands Of lives.
though in former times II fre-
quently produced good military
results, in modern days is likely TO
result in nothing but pro6tless
butchery. Coupled with the doubt
whether Q new system could be
easily adopted. this experience
created q panic altogether out Of
proportion to the magnitude of
the rebuff sustained.
