THE PRUssIAN DIscIPIINARr LAW.


The Prussian Disciplinary law places the
official in q more disadvantageous position,
and believe that the change which has taken
place in the Imperial officials law can be
traced back to the desire for protecting tho
official after his retirement from persecution
prompted by political motives. Your Excel
iency seeks to prove the incorrectness Of my
view by the assertion that the law does not
recognize an official without his superior au-
thority, and that the authority to which he
still holds these relations is the one to which
he was formerly subject


THIS DECLARATION


contradicts the clear provisions Of the law,
and scarcely need to point out how impos-
sible it would be, for instance, to find a su-
perior authority for the temporarily retired
Chancellor of the Empire.


According to the provisions Of the law re-
lating to imperial officials the disciplinary
power over the temporarily retired officials
has been transferred to the Disciplinary
Chambers and The Disciplinary Court, and
their decision can be actively influenced by
the superior authority of the Empire, as we'll
as in an exceptional case (section S5) by the
authority named in section so.


A relationship such as exists between the
superior and subordinate is thereby not
created between the beforenamed authority
and the official

We have read carefully and with deep in.
terest the inaugural of the new Governor,
which we presented to our readers on Fri
day morning. 1t is a most admirable pro-
duction, rejecting great honor to himself
and the noble State over which he has been
called upon to preside as its chief executive
servant. We have seen no clearer and
stronger presentation of the true nature OF
our complex form of government, in which
the powers derived from the sovereign peo-
pie are divided among the States and the
general government-the one intended to
watch over and legislste concerning all
foreign and general affairs, and tho others
to regulate and prescribe everything local
in its character and Immediately and direct
ly interesting the people at their homes and
by their friends. Amid the storms of civil
convulsion and the following years OF
arbitrary and complicated reconstruction,
many of our people, and especially the
younger portion, whose incipient manhood
was passed in the tented field, have lost
sight of the old land marks, the true prin-
ciples of our federal form of government,
as expounded by the great and good men
who founded it, and it was eminently proper
for Governor Coke to take this early and
conspicuous opportunity to remind our peo-
pie of the true relations subsisting under
our amended Constitution between the re-
spective States of the Union and the
national government. This he has done
with unusual lclearness and vigor, while at
the same time he has exhibited amoderation
and patriotic spirit worthy of all praise.
The inaugural is excellent in substance,
conciliatory in expression and tone, full OF
patriotic feeling for both Texas and the
Union, both of which are dear to his
honest heart, and cannot fail to meet
the approval and - admiration of all
intelligent, good people throughout the
land. We anticipate great advantage
to Texas in every way from the administra-
ton Of GOv. Coke. He seems to us exactly
fitted for the times and circumstances by
which we arc surrounded. The rare quail
ties of moderation and frmness, of kindli-
ness and feaTlessness, are in him so happily
combined with talents and culture as to
constitute him statesman of the first order.
His expressed views on finance and State
credit, on internal Improvement, on educa-
ton and immigration, arc such as will meet
the assent of large number of our people,
and be carried out, we think, by their intel
ligent representatives now assembled at the

ment of Texas, and its head, the noble
Coke. With Coke at the helm, and Hub

THE New York Times, the leading organ
of the Republican party, and supposed es-
pecially to represent the feelings Of Presi-

hurt and down in the mouth at the fierce
assault of the Austin State Journal The
term ''blathersl1ite," applied to its editor
by Jimmy Newcomb, is well calculated 70
alarm and will probably stop his mouth and
palsy his hand. To be serious, the madness
and folly of the few white Radicals OF
Texas is extraordinary, and almost beyond
belief by those who are not on the spot to
witness.th Protesting to be the very
pinks of loyalty to the Union, the Radical
party, and to President Grant, they set
themselves up to overthrow by violence a
legal State government, acknowledged by
the President and all the great leading
presses of their own party, and undertake
even to denounce and blackguard them for
giving advices, running counter to their
wild and lawlcss schemes. From all that
can be learned by the newspapers and tele-
graphic dispatches, the infatuated Radicals
of Texas have no backing from any source.

At the adjournment Of the Legislature, the
armed men, white and black, were still pa
raded in the basement, and the halls OF the
Senate and House Of Representatives were
left in possession Of Sheriff zimpelman,

We presume, the question win be settled
whether Governor Coke and the other
State officials are to be interrupted

ACCORDING to the New York Herald,
some of the worst of the poor working class
of that city, and those who do not work at
all and are ready to JON in any attempt at
disorder, have been lately exhibiting such
formidable demonstrations as to call for
precautionary steps on the part Of the mu-
nicipal authorities, and the police force has
been strengthened to suppress promptly any
outbreak. The Herald attributes this mostly
70 the missionary efforts Of the worst sort
of English socialists, who have been
preaching up their dangerous doctrines with
a good deal of activity and some success.
There Is no doubt Of much poverty and
pressing want among many Of the people in
our crowded Northern cities, which has
been intensified by the late panic and the
stoppage of many factories and works Of
all sorts, but this demand for public employ
ment, and the use Of threats against the
rich, will not do. The poor Of this country
are not oppressed, except by the taxation
and unequal working of the machinery OF
government. That can be righted other
wise than by mobs and riots

The address Of Lieutenant Governor Hub
bard on his installation as the presiding
officer Of the Senate, like the address q
Governor Coke, is fun Of patriotic fervOr
and noble sentiments, such Is was expected
from this eloquent and trusted favorite OF
the people of Texas. He is always equal
to the occasion, and his illusions to the
historic period of the old Republic, the old
Texans around him, and the monument Of
their martyrdom and glory standing in the
vestibule of the Capitol, were particularly
happy. Texas has abundant reason to be
proud of her noble leaders in this unfortu-
nate crisis in her civil affairs. Let her peo-
pie act with all that forbearance and steady
courageous purpose which distinguish their
chosen champions, and all yet win be we'll.

county of Pulaski and the Cumberland river
section Of country than the immediate COM

to urge this matter upon the people Of Somer-

years before the Cincinnati Southern railroad
is completed, and during its construction an
enormous amount Of travel will be done over
this road. few years ago charter was OBJ
tanned for the construction Of this turnpike,
but a lack of liberality on the part of some
of the public spirited men Of Pulaski caused
the much needed improvement to be ahan-
doned without much effort. Another effort
at this time, We feel sure, would prove success
