Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Nov. lit is now pretty
well understood that the policy of the
present state administration looks to a rigid
enforcement of the laws, especially those
against criminal acts of all kinds. Law and
order is the watchword whose full signific
ance and meaning have been impressed
upon the police authorities of the common
wealth arousing them to unwOnted activity
in the detection andi punishment Of
criminals. There is one crime that to the
governor is especially obnoxious, and that
is mobocracy, the hanging or otherwise
Furnishing suspected criminals by lynch
law. A strong believer himself in the faith
full execution of law by those charged with
that duty, he has no patience
with the mob that, governed wholly
by passion and frenzy, ruSheS
in to usurp the functions of judges and
juries, and forestalls the action of the con-
stituted authorities by taking vengeance
into its OVID hands. He regards mobocracy
as criminal as murder, when exercised in
the taking of human life. and no less amena-
bic to the penalties of the law than is the
murderous guilt of the highwayman or the
assassin. There have been three lynchings
of negroes in the state since Governor
Hogg'S Inauguration. and in each case he
has offered rewards for the apprehension
and conviction of the lynchers. In one case
rs many as thirty lyncherS now stand in
dicted for murder, and will soon be tried
under that charge. The burning at the
stake of the negro Lee Green at Linden
was the last case that excited the govern
or's wrath against lynch law, as the follow
ing letter will show.

and that It will take the usual teIious
course Of diplomacy. There is some de-
sire manifested to know the nature of
the reply Secretary Blaine will make TO
the message of the Marlu Di Rudini.
but the secretary evidently prefers that
there should be less haste in conducting
this diplomatic affair. for he sent word
down that there was nothing new in the
situation and that his reply to Rudini
was not ready for publication.
Rapid Growth.
The speed with which the interna-
tional correspondence aris ng out of the
lynching Of the Italians has thus far
been conducted is said by diplomatists
to be extraordinarily rapid, and they are
not disposed to commend tn new
method of conducting the relations be-
tween nations by means of the telegraph
and cables While willing to utilize
these modern methods so far as to keep
their respective ministers acquainted
with matters of especial importance,
they express themselves as averse to
pursuing this couls Sc where declarations
of National policy must be outlined.
Now that Secreta Y Blaine has succeed
ed in his efforts TO calm the agitation of
the Italian government, they expect that
he will pursue the unusual dignified and
more leisulely method Of communicat-
ing by mail, and that the air will be
ad usted in the customary mode Of
G aborate, we'll considered notes between
the representatives of the two powers
The great advantage to be derived by
this course, it is pointed out, lies in the
fact that it eliminates to grea+ extent
all sudden ebulitions of feeling and pas
sion, and permits a calm, iudicious con
sidera ion of the subject i'll the light of
all the facts. laws and circumstances in
the case
Thorough Investigation.
The officers of the department of JUS
tice are at present engaged in an in
vestiyation which wild have very I'M
portant bearing on the views which the
two governments will take, and it may
be that Mr.. Blaine desires to have the
result of that inquiry before him before
he proceeds further. The department
of jus ice will ascei tain tae nationality,
character and life Of each of the men
Xxi led, and tie facts developed may
mo ify materially the international
as, ect to lie taken Of the lynching.
Moreover, as the co q ieration Of these
things will take ToiIe time, it will
enable a sufficient interval to e'apse to
permit the National feeling in italy,
which, it is admitted, has had much TO
do with the affair, to become calmed.
Meanwhile the Louisiana courts will
show what course will be pursued there,
and the matter of indemnity must, of
course, remain practically in allegiance
until congret IS meets, the secretary not
having any appropriation on which to
draw if it should be fully admitted that
the families of any Of the men lynched
were entitled to pecuniary recon-
pense,
