Would the State have Gov. Wilson take
the field in person, and scour the country
at the head of the militia and ride down
the rascals? He has no such authority;
and the Legislature. which is now in ses-
sion and might strengthen his hands by
some measure to meet the emergency. is
in deadlock over United States senator
ship. and seems Indifferent to the situa-
ton.
There is no politics in the matter as the
State should know, except the charge,
made by democrats that the lawlessness,
which began while Gov Beckham was in
office. was neglected by him for fear of
injury TO his campaign for senator if he
pursued an aggressive policy. So that
what Gov. Wilson has in hand is some
thing inherited from his predecessor; and
the. evil, being not of day, cannot be
corrected in a day. But that Gov. Will
son is exerting himself properly, if so
far futilely. to the full extent of his
powers. and with a lively sense of his
duty to the people. is warmly confessed
