TIE Navasota TABLET notes
the arrest by United States
deputy marshal of E. A. Dod-
son and G. and J. Ashford, who
were carried to Austin for trial
before a United States district
Judge, on a charge of completely
in the whipping Of c. B, Hoad-
ly, a negro school teacher, three
weeks ago.
If c. B. Hoadly was whipped
the State courts should afford
him redress. If an ohense was
committed, it was against the
laws of the State. and not those
of the United States. The ar
rest of these men by United
States marshal and the taking of
them to Austin is an outrage for
which there is no Justification
whatever. Are teachers ofnegro
schools under the special protee-
ton of the United States ?

a Greenbaeker's Views.


The Banner has received a
communication from 'fObser-
yer" greenbacker, who atten-
ded the meeting at Chappell
Hill on Saturday last and heard
Mr.. Romans speech. which
observer" says was an attempt
to array the poor against the
rich; he says further that Holman
declared that he had been a
radical and a loyal Lacquer. and
that men who have been Demo-
Gratis cannot affiliate with him.
observer" closes by saying
"any consistent greenbacker can
vote for Mr. Thompson and do
no injury to the greenback
cause proper, SO they can for
Capt. Williams, for believe he
is the best reformer in the coun-
ty and will do all the good he
can for the poor as well as for
the rich, for the black as well as
for the white; these republicans
have no claim upen the green
hackers; they do not even claim
to be in sympathy with them.
How can greenbackers vote for
radicals for Office when there is
nothing to be gained by it and
when good Democrats agree
with them in majority of their
principles The State Legis-
lature has nothing to do with
national finances. Let green
hackers who have heretofore
been Democrats, and who ex-
pect to be Democrats again
when thisquestion is settled vote
for the men who have always
been friends and not for men
like Holman, who have always
been opposed to them"
We think observer" strikes
the nail squarly on the head in
the above. The republican
party is hard money and the
greenback a soft money party.
With the exception of fiat or
absolute money the Democracy
of Texas and the greenbackers
agree. In the county election
the greenbackers are in a hope
less minority, they can not elect
single man There is no rea-
son why they should not, and
every reason why they should
vote with the Democrats for
county officers and thus help to
rid themselves of Sanegambian
and radical rule. If the honest
greenbackers desire to show
their exact strength they can do
so effectually and harn,lessly by
voting for their State ticket.

THE Montgomery county
greenbackers, story about the
Democrats attempting to bull
doze" them, is at best, but very
thin. The official reports show
that at the gubernatorial cleo
ton in 1876, there was S27
Democratic votes and SI4 re-
publican votes. The arrest of
citizens of Grimes county by a
United States marshal and the
attempt of the Monts emery
county greenbackers to procure
federal interference has the APP
pearance of a desire on the part
of the RAIDS to again start the
Outrage" mill.

orcd men of more tf;sa average
ability and are probably as well
aware that they are not compe
tent to perform the duties re-
CURED of them properly as are
the intelligent white and colercd
men of this county. Their nomi-
nations are in the strictest sense
class nominations. and are made
at-tne instigation of the design
ing white men, who call Them
selves republicans for the Pur-
pose ofhoodwinking the coiored
people and arraying them; polit-
ically, against the best white
men in the county for the pur-
pose of getting Office. These
same white republicans, social
ed, persistently misrepresent
the Democratic party by telling
their dupes all kinds Of improb-
able stories. In electing officers
only the best men should be
chosen. In one or two instances
negroes have been given nomi-
nations for positions to which it
was well known they could not
be elected. The colored people
are as much interested in good
county government as the
WITHSTAND it is certainly getting
to be about time that they
SHOULD discover the game that
now is being attempted to be
played upon them BY the desig-
ming men whose sole aim and
desire it IS, to array them as a
class against the people who
give them employment, rent
them land and minister to their
wants when they are in trouble
or distress. The sooner The coll
ored people abandon the class
Of men who are now leading
them and join their fortunes with
the great mass of the white
people the better If will be for
all concerned.
1t is an indisputable factthat
the republican party in Texas.
is dead; ii has its existence only
IN name and can accomplish
nothing politically. In the
county canvass it is only used
as name to ensnare the I'M
wary colored voter. who have in
years gone by been taught that
he was a republican. In the
present race for county officers
and representatives to the Lee
gislature there is no party issue
whatever involved. The Demo-
cratic party, which is composed
of conservative white men and
few colored ones, desire an
honest and economical county
administration. Such an admit
nistration we had not had in the
past; and, unless Democrats are
elected we will not have in the
future Notwithstanding a high
rate of taxation county scrip is
only worth 70 cents on the dol
lar and as things stand at pres
ent it cannot be worth any
more. The pauper who draws
his pittance of SO month in
scrip is compelled TO sell it for
s4.ao in money, the same rule
applies to jury scrip and all
other indebtedness incurred by
the county. The consequence
is those who receive scrip, are
losers to the amount Of the dis
count, while the tax payers as
a body have to pay one hundred
cents for every dollar of scrip
issued. A parti-coloHd COM
missioner's court is mainly re
spoasible for this state ofa1airs.

this the duties Of his office have
not been discharged with that
promptness which characterizes
an efficient officer. 1t is said
that some Democrats will vote
for him simply because he is a

well aware of the fact that he is
a clever fellow; in fact the whole
county is full of clever fellows,
but the simple fact of a mans
being a clever fellow is no as
surance that he will make an
efficient officer. That Mr.. Hut
Crimson has not made an effici-

by his action in appointing a
host of deputy sherifs without
a shadow OF authority of law.

Peace, like a mantle flows.

But when to night of sorrow

When out of the smile comes treason.
And out of the rose a thorn;
