REPuBLIcANIsM IN TEXAS.

Never has Repubicanism flourished
IN IeSas since DAVIS was cstopped from
stealing tho resources of the state and
nppropriating them to tho advancement
OF the Republican party. Persons init.
mateIy acquainted with Davis say he
was an honest man. This may be true,
but II he had carried out his intentions
the public lands of Texas would have
been coin in the pockets of northern
adventures. Since CoKg took hi,
guhornatorial seat the conservative ele-
ment has prevailed, aud there is fund
OF educational capital Of which not only
Texas may be proud, but all the people
OF the southwest may rejoice in.
Now,the HERALD enquiries, what is the
use or necessity for keeping mn
a vain aud simply factious opposition
to the great current Of pexilu thought?
we all want the same objects accom-.
pushed, aud IL may be only differ i'm the
idea of how the result is To be brou,hi
about. Especially are these ideas ad.

As much Interested in the future OF
IeXas as are their white fellow-citizens.
Let us all, then, unite, as far as may be,
oh u practicable state policy, and en-
desvor to secure its enactment. We are
now aligned with tho great states of the
morrill, and 1t would be more than folly
either to oppose their leading ideas or
array the representatives of the great
money holders against us. There /.
probably more thought required as to
what should be done in victory than in
defeat.

The trial by court-martial of
George Cantine, who, with two
other sailors of the Z. S. S. Speed

Columbus, says the Washington
Star Of the lst inst, was resumed at
the engineers office at the Washing

was in charge of Boatswain Peri
mond The accused and Morgan,
assisted by witness, hauled in the
first body found. Noticed nothing
in particular about Cantine or Nor
gan at that time. Noticed nothing
about any of the bodies except bag
of waste attached to the neck of one.
Saw a watch chain attached to the
vest of the first body taken into the
boat.
Saw the accused leaning over the
first body in manner which wit
messed though vast altogether I'M
necessary; did not see him do any
thing. Witness had a conversation
with the accused at the mess table
about the DIST Of January. Witness
was joking when he said George,
how many did you get?" The ac-
cused made an evasive answer which
the witness did not recoIlect. Wit
ness said, ''more than one?" and ac-
cused answered ''no the id thing
is no account; you can take the quits
out of it."
The witness said that the accused
came to his (witness0room on the
evening Of the Dist and wrote on q
piece of paper, cts thrown over
board; do you think III be suspected

a piece of paper, "Yes." The ac-
cused then asked him if he would
buy him a pair of shoes. Witness
told him eyes" and he gave witness
So. The court then took a recess of
half an hour.
After recess the witness. testified
that the accused destroyed the paper
on which the witness wrote eyes. :"
The five dollar bill which the ac-
cused handed him was damp and
discolored in several places. 1t was
a note of the National Bank of Bos-
ton, Mass. Witness gave the bill
to the executive officer on board the
Speedwell, Mr.. McCarty. The Judge
Advocate then handed witness sew
eral five dollar notes to select the
one which the accused gave him, he
selected the dirtiest one.
