three days before II reached Governor RICE
in official form, was illmannered, undigni-
fed, and insolent, that of the Governor of
Massachusetts, returning the same to Its
author, is digni1ed in language, courteous
in manner, and firm and determined in tone.
II is fitting rebuke to the man in public
position who, in his haste to place neigh
boring state in a wrong, rcsortcd to language
and practices that are not justified by the
usual courtesies aud proprioties of either
official or social life, that his letter should
be returned with the following appropriate
remarks:
| Your Excellcncy's letter requires no argu.
| mCnt in reply. II IL sufficient to say that IL
contains statements to mislead the public
where the facts are unknown. It's language
and untimoly publication are offensive aud
uniusthible and decline to accept 1t or to
permit 1t to he placed upon the files Of tho
executive department OF this commonwealth.
II is herewith returned.
The conduct of HAMPTON in this case Is
without parallel in the annals of official
relation on any plane above the grade of y
| patll-master or scavenger. His conmuni-
cation was false in fact, discourteous ia
tone, and insulting in its terms. All the
ordinary rules Of official correspondence
were violated by the writer when he gave
it to the public several days before it could
possibly reach the party to whom it was
addressed by due course Of mail, and all
this to insult misreprcsent, and wrong q
sister State.
The disposition made OF this communica-
tion is strictly iu accordance with its
merits and with the dignity OF the Slate
that was insultcd. 1t has been quaran-
tined and sent back as y pcstilence that
would dcile the archives of the Old Bay
state. Now we will see what WADE HAMP-
ton proposes to do about il. II lie is wise
he will sit down quietly and chew the cud
Of bitter reflection in silence bat he is
neither wise nor is he just, or he would not
continue to occupy a chair of State that
rightGully and legally belongs to another
No doubt IL will be guilty OF some other
abSurdity, for, under the awkwnrdncss OF
his present position, he Is more liable ia
perform wrong and indicate action than
to rOnllnc his conduct within the limits Of
good sense aud the rules Of ordinary pro-
priety. Mr.. HAMPTON will learn in this af-
fur that he is not among the bull-dO2crs
rifle clubs, and mtimidatcd Republicans Of
his own tcrror-ridden and blool-washcd
State, hut is dealing with free men and un'
trnmmelcd citizens, who know their rights
and dare maintain them anil who stand il
no awe of his cpithets or OF his ill-gctter
power What next?

II the Fintists could abolish the gold
standard for all values, their scheme of
cheap money would possibly become moro
practicable, unless some other standard
should be substituted for II. Judge WEST,
in one of his telling speeches out in Ohio
the other day, illustrated this meaning by
explaining the commercial value Of all
kinds Of money. He said:
1t is commerce, 1t Is the consent of men. that

and want to make n purchase for cash, and

not been free from public attention and
personal comment. But he seems to have
created a good impression out there; 50

him there. The irrcvercnt st. Lous Post
says Of him:
Now that We have got Hoss SHEPHERD out

1t would be good idea to keep him here long
enough to pave Fourth street and Filth street.

THE political situation in Texas is de-
cidedly mixed, aud il is among the posi-
bilitics OF the future that come good may
come out of the mixture. But il it does it
will probably be confined 10 the simple act
of breaking in upon the discipline of the

complete ticket against the Democracy, and

The Grcenbackcrs thercupOn claim that the
aforementioned ticket is running in the i'll
terrst Oi the Democracy, to draw oil votes
from their ticket But the strangest part Of
the whole thing is the charge of the Waco

Government in the State are mixed up in
this manipulation rs the negative pOliti-
cal friends Of the Democracy. The Register
says:
| The fact of placing the Federal appoint

! in th, State subject to the dictatiOn of tho

Congress may have no little to do with the
activity Of certain officials at the present
