CHIvALRY OF THE BRIGADIERs

/ CHIYALRY OF THE BRIGADIERS.
A thrilling act of the political drama
is on the foot boards 1t Washington.
None the less interesting, because it IL
strange 1t Is the picture presented in
the senate, where the rebel brigadiers
are battling for the perpetuation OF the
pension system that guarantees to the
wounded union soldier sustenance
The pension system Is imti-
nately associated with the political his
tory of this commonwealth for the last
quarter of a century. Gen'l Rice, of
Ohio introduced the bill that incorpo-
rated it IL congress, and it was voted
for by both democrats and republicans,
because, at the time, no northern man
had the hardihood to antagonize the
veteran clement. Genl Rice was a
democrat and an aspirant for gubernat-
ional honors, in the Buckeye state.
Fresh from the country's capitol, the
laurels gained by the advocacy Of the
cause of the union soldiers
encIrcling his brow he ran
as the democratic candidate
for Governor and was elected? No; he
was ignominiously defeated, and why?
Because the republican orators haunted
the bloody shirt il the faces os the
people. denounced the man who shed
his blood for the union as a democrat
and characterized him as the associate
of rebels and traitors. Gazing upon the
then reeking bloody shirt the union
soldiers oblivious IF the efforts of Rice,
blinded by prejudice marched squarely
to the ballot box and deposited their
votes for the republican candidate. 1t
must be gratifying to John Sherman in
this action of the rebel brigadiers to wit
hess his own qualification. In the cam
paign of 1876 the hustings in Ohio rang
with the assertions, that, the democratic
party once III power, the pensioning of
the rebel confederates and the payment
of the war claims was a natural conse-
quence. The democrats did not get into
power; why, none know better than
Sherman. What DO We see? On the one
hand, portion of the republican press
and leaders appalled, at the extrava-
gance of the result of the Rice bill and
trying to avoid the responsibility of
payment, and on the other hand Maxey
and Vest, rebel brigadiers Of the deepest
dye saying that the pension arrearage
bill shall be a law. We have simply
presented the picture without any
allusion to the merits of the situation or
the expediency and wisdom of the views |
by the brigadiers.

INFAMOUS CORRESPONDENCE.


the Union that would battle more zeal
ously for freedom of thought aud the
liberty of the press than would the
Waco EXAMINER But when tins free
dom runs riot, and liberty becomes Ii
centious license, we are constrained to
pause and ponder over its disastrous
tendency. Certain journals of Texas
have in their dealings with trusted pub
lie men assumed and exercised license
that is the more contemplate in that it
] is unprovoked. 1t has ever been the
sacred prerogatiye of the press
of the United States to say
what they please of public men and
measures, and at the same time this
liberty, by code of journalistic ethics
known and conformed to, 10y all true
men of the brotherhood, has seldom
descended TO a loathsome license. The
press and their correspondents have
uniformly, in speaking of the peoples
representatives even III condemnatory
terms, treated these gentlemen III the
manner that their station demanded,
for generally man, whatever his politl-
cal complexion, cannot rise to distinction
in America, unless he possesses merit
of some kind or character and every
decent man is bound to respect merit,
whether it consist in political
integrity, practical sense, or that
which is scarcely less esteemed,
political sagacity. Having been gen
eral, We now proceed to be specific
and declare that our remarks are made
more especially upou the occasion Of the
recent publication in the Austin States
man of a Washington correspondence
that would do more credit TO the col
umns of the Police News than to the col
umns of a respectable democratic jour
nal The correspondent, if he be
Texan, in writing his balder-
dash describing Senator Cokes
manner of delivery, has, for some
private grudge or other purpose,
sold his hirtnright for most contempt
ible and unpalatable mess of pottage.
He has abused journalistic privilege,
and through the columns of the States
man insulted the democrats of Texas.
He has by the extrayagant use of epi
thetic descriptive powers that would re-
fleet discredit on the Austin Statesman
endeavored TO ridicue and deride the
man whose shoes he is unworthy to
latch, and i'll whose society, save as a
turnkey, by no combination of circum-
stances would he be tolerated.
If the correspondence was designed to
perform the function of d campaign
document for some aspirant for senate
rial preferment, it Las fallen tar short
of its purpose, and the Statesman could
employ its time to more purpose and
more etfectually by pouring dry beans
on hide than by thus attacking Rich
ard Coke BY no manner of means do
we wish this article construed as a re-
ply or defense OF the leader of democ-
racy in Texas. We simply desire to
deprecate such an imposition on the
principles that underhe true journalism
and express our contempt for the cor
respondent and his article. Such at
tacks meet with the just condemnation
of the people, and impress those who
are unfortunate enough to read them
with feeling Of pity and commisera-
ton for the author.
