HE dbcIdSc 0EccuudChcT, Ou lie
streets, at the hustings or in his news
paper, devotes himself to the exclusive
vilification of the Democratic party.
Con over the pages of the three Green
back organs of Texas. They never
once advert to the political vices of
Rsdicalism. While Grants and Sher-
mans adherents are unanimous, Demo-
Gratis differ widely from one another on
these questions of finance. Perhaps
half the Democracy of Texas assent
in reality to Pendleton's and Voorhees,
financial theories, and to assertions of
most liberal financial policy, as en-
bodied in the Austin platform on which
Governor Roberts was elected. De-
spite these facts, the average Green
backer, asserting that he was born and
reared Democrat, exhausts epithets
and contumely, which he is taught how
to use by his newspapers, and Cover
nor Davis and Hon. Wash Jones, and
by that sweetest singer, Hamman, in
all the Israel of Greenbackism, in fero-
cious denunciatIOn of Democracy.
Why condemn with such bitterness
those from whom they confess they are
undistinguishable9 Why not tear and
rend and fly alive the disciples of
Radicalism from whom they pretend to
differ as widely as are the poles asun-
der. They assert unconquerable aver
sion to R4dicalism and carpet-bagism
and to every vice of those who, not
long ago, were ravaging and plunder-
ing as placeho!ders in every town and
city and village of the South. But
since they must undertake the JUS
tificstion of an alliance made with
out reference to principle or virtue
between themselves and the Radicals,
they devote their lives to assertions Of
Democratic vices. Under the circum-
stances their hearers can have no re-
spect for these sssailants of the Demo
cratic party. Those who stultified
themselves when seeking Greenback
support, by adopting Greeuback plat
form, can hardly be criticized by q
Greenbacker unless he be also Radi-
cal. But Radicals are Sherman's hard
money people to man, and if a Green
backer could be induced to assail Gov
ernor Davis's party on any terms or
for any reason this would be enough !;
and yet the Grecnbackers are evidently
more disposed to defend their folly in
leaving the Democracy than IN show
ing that they love their new assocI-
ates, or were governed by honorable
purposes in joining them. Perhaps
half the Democracy of Texas are ad-
vocates of hard money. In any event
they would let the country's currency,
now that it is perfect, perform its
proper functions in the proper manner.
To this the average Greenbacker, who
is as verbose as his fiat money is fiatu-
lent, may consistently object; bnt
while only half the Democracy differ
from him and from the vApid Mr..
HAmman, the whole Republican party,
from Sherman and Grant down to
Governor DAVIS and his myrmidons
and Mamelukes, abhor paper money in
all its forms. even detesling silver. and
worshlpping nothing but gold- Why
Is il that the GEeenbacker hates those
sgreeing with him and loves those
who differ from him a. dsy from

GEN. JOE JOHNSTON told an inter-
viewer that he did not know much
about politics, and did not.care to talk
on that subject, but if the newspaper
man wanted to converse on the agri-
culture Of the South and the means of
recuperating that section of the coun-
try, he (the generaD would be very
glad to hear him, and he might have
something 10 say himself. Sensible

THE Sherman Register cengratulates

THE Sherman Register cengratulates
the South thst the Congress brought
the country by sharp turn to
discuss the rights OF the States and all
that. Since this discussion preoipl-
tated the conflict between the States
and only servee to-day to array the
North solidly against the South, and
will insure, with almost absolute GER
taintY, the election of Radical Presi-
dent IN 1880. we do not see what the
discussion has to commend it. The
States may lose much, aud by no poasi-
bility can they gam anything at this
jnncture, and the Register is grievously
at fault.

The Mexican government hGs grant
ed to an American citizen the right to
construct Canal across the TehusBte-
pee neck. aud survey made nine years
ago by Capt. Shufeidt of the Uoited
States navy shows that there are no
such difficulties on this route as tn
Darien Isthmus presents; that the Coat
zacolcos river, which tTayeTses oBe-half
the distance, can be made part OF the
canal and that the cost OF canal con-
structed here would be considerably
less than the cost OF one at DATien. In
addition TO this, there would be dif-
ference OF 1880 miles saving in favor
Of the Tebuantepec route, A. between
New Orleans and San Francisco.
These are the general advantages which
the TehuAntepec route oilers 70 the
world-and It must be borne in mind
that the projected enterprise Is one IN
which all the commercial nations Of the

PEOPLE will learu after time that
the surest method OF extending q
newspapers circulation is to denounce
it. we observe that the Globe Demo
crat, IN order to make money out OF
Texas, abuses Texans with the utmost
ferocity. Texas newspapers resent
the outrage by urging the people not
to buy the Globe Democrat and yet
railway news vendors sell five copies
now for each number cold two months
ago. Bennett, the founder of the New
York Herald, based his fortune upon
the abuse he hespe1 upon men and
communities. He was occasionally
cowhided, but coarse people of cosrser
literary tastes preferred vulgar deEun-
Citations TO modest statements and rea-
soniDg, and the Globe Dcmocrat, like
the Herald, has measured with sure
accuracy the tastes and preferences of
the migratory mob of Texas.
