TEXAS.

The Associated Press dispatches announce
that the regular Republican convention Of
Texas held at Dallas on the I'd instant, nomi-
mated full State ticket, and gave what pur-
ported to be the names of the nominees, The
candidate for governor is given as A. T. NOR
TON. This should read A. BANNING NOR
TON, who is now postmaster at Dallas. Cen
eral NORTON is a native of Ohio, and class
mate of President HAYES, has resided in
Texas since long before the war, was a
Union refugee during the war, and has
always been consistent Union man. He
was in Washington soon after the Inaugural
tion Of President HAYES, and was a daily
guest at the White House, and the President
appealed TO him TO indicate the wisest course
for the Administration to pursue toward
Texas, and General NORTON, through his
reports TO his friends of these interviews
with the President, gave Texas Union men
to expect great things from the new Admin,
istration.
Shortly after the departure of General
| NORTON from Washington, General BRYAN,

admissible to our columns on that account.
The writer, whoever he or she may be,
however, arragns our purposes aud i'm
pugns our motives in publishing a telc-
gram from Baltimore, giving an account Of
the taking of the veil by a large number Of
young females in that city, on Tuesday
last, and for that reason, while we decline
to publish the entire communication, we
take the liberty Of extracting SO much of it
Us relates to our action in publishing the
telegram that seems to have given offense,
and in which we are directly charged with
encouraging the things of which it COM
plains II says:
Nine.teuths ofthc patrons Of your journal
are Protcs,ants, vet YOU encourage the efforts
of Papl priests and Jcsuits to debauch the fair
daughters of America. The column of your
paper this day, headed "Rcnouucing the
World" should be "ronouncing liberty,
blessed family ties, and virtue"
God forbid that THE NATIONAL REPUBLi-

encourage the destruction Of the fair daugh-

The letter Of our censorious correspond
ent reminds US OF what experience has
taught during some forty years of journal

is useless to try. There arc Romanists who
think we are too strongly Protestant, and
there seem to be Protestants who think Oul
leaning is too much toward Romanism, and
all for the reason that we aim to do justice
to both sides and wrong to neither. OuI
censorious correspondent seems to have for
gotten that The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN IL
political newspaper, and not religious
journal published in the interest of any re-
ligous denomination, sect, or faith. Th'
fact that the article which meets with sucf
severe censure was an item of news trans
mtted 10 us by telegraph, and was pub
lished as any other matter Of special inter

no evidence that he has packed his carpet

kings have been known to cling to their

the headsman overlook them. Mr.. Sher-
