David Davis Views.
Hou ton TelegraW

iipu' tpu ~
The letter of Senator Davis, elsewhere pub
lished, ostensibly addressed to politcalAaad
personal friend, is worthy ofperusal. 1t WI
DO seen that although the fat Senator has
heretofore passed MS an independent ia poll
tics, protesting to belong to neither of the
or, ut parties, he enunclates some as good
Democratic doctrines MS any of the leaders of
that party, In fact, his views on some OF the
great questions of the day may DO taken rs
more sound and orthodox than some more
pretentious Democrats. If Mr.. Davis isn't
professedly Democrat, his views, as ex-
pressed over his own signature, certainly
enttle him to front seat in the party
whether he lisa communcat or not.
Especially are the views of the Illinois
Senator on the dangers of third term and
centralization-the strong government de-
manded by the stalwarts-in entire conso-
nance with Democratic policy, Further,
they are the views of respectable and in
creasing faction in the Republican party also.
The Senator IN effect occupies the same posi-
ton held by the Democrats.
What he says against the present ruinous
high tariff will also be well received in the
West and South, as also in all the agricultural
States. Being Western man, he stands up
for the interests ofhis section. With skill
and ingenuity for which we do not blame
Mr. Davis, he sdroitly avoids giving himself
II way on some of the questions now agitating
Congress.
Altogether, whatever the Interior purposes
of Mr.. Davis or his friends, the letter is most
happily conceived, sagaclously executed,
well timed, and will not only vastly raise the
author in the estimation of the Democrats,
but in that of the ant-third termers Vi .ue
Republican party as well.

Hon. John Reagan has sent to us printed
copy OF the proposed substitute reported by
him from tho Committee on Commerce IN
The House of Representatives for the bill
making appropriations for the construction
upon and completion of certain works on
rivers and harbors and for other purposes.
1t contains five sections and would make
about seven columns of our paper solid mat
ter, the total amount embraced In its pro,i.
sions being $s,2O6,5Oo. o: this sum S4l9,-
600 is for Texas. Excepting $l39,0Oo In
GLIDING $l25,O00 for Galveston harbor
$4,000 for the Neches river; $4,000 for the
Sabine river and $4,000 for the Trinity river,
We consider it money misapplied,
Had they given this sum,
less the three small sums mentioned
above for river Improvements, to Galveston,
it would have done some good. As it is, di-
vided out among unimportant points like the
mouth of the Brazos, Pass Cavsllo, Arkansas
bay and the mouth of the Rio Grande rlver,it
will accomplish nothing, yet is put upon the
debit side of appropriations of this nature
for Texas. We are surprised that our dele.
cation in Congress do not center their inau-
ence in behalf of the one point, Galveston,
that should first of all be assisted, that it may
become the seaport Texas so much stands in
need of. When this is done, then these
minor points can be looked after. just think
Of spending $4,000 on Arkansas bay when
if it had forty feet of water and
all the commerce of that section of the State
WAS conferred there, it would not amour. to
rs much in year as the commerce of Gal
weston in ten days. yet Galveston gets only
$4,000, not twice as much as Arkansas bay.
We fail to comprehend that sort Of states.
manship or to understand that sort of service
to Texas. The whole State is looking to
Galveston and the entire State, not little
section, sparsely populated, is interested in
having deep water at that point not because
It is Galveston, but because it is the best
harbor on the coast, because 1t Is virtually
the railroad centre of the State, and because
city has already sprung up there, trading
with the world and able to do the trade Of
the State II Il can get deep water,

United States over any other party, the mo-
ment they vote in one mass. There is now in
the present Congress 140 Democrats, 1870 Re-
publicans and II Greenbackers. Nor can
the Republican party ever hope to retain all
their representatives Mt the next election, for
her strength is diminishing in the North, and
in order to retain her equilibrium, she must
recapture the South. By unity of effort
Republicanism can be uprooted this political
stamina, so repungnant to the refreshing
