—The Jefferson Leader says
the “burst” of the late Horace
Greeley, was “unvailed” etc.
—E. B. H. for President, and
B. B. H. for Go vernor of Texas,
would be too alliterative—we
will dispense with the first and
let him govern Ohio—and the
latter one will govern Texas.
—The Statesman claims to be
the first among newspapers to
present the name of Samuel J.
Tilden for President. We would
like to compare files with the
Statesman on this question, for
a new hat to the one who has
seniority.
-[-tfl » 63-
—We will have the services
of John Hancock in the Con-
gress of the country until the
Presidential muddle is settled—
and after that if Tilden acts
wisely and recognizes Southern
talent and the rights of the
South, he will give him a seat
in the Cabin etc iin so aW .gnii
And while President Grant’s mes-
sage was being read on Tuesday in the
House the Confederate conspirators,
waiting breathlessly for their prey
must have felt “like guilty creatures at
a play.”—Forney's Press.
Unquestionably so ; for there
was nothing in the paper that
could have made them serious,
or that in any way resembled a
State paper. “Play” is the best
way out of it. Grant was only
fooling. •"* J nno

—The press of the State seem
determined that Gov. Hubbard
shall not go wrong. They are
all giving him what they con-
sider sound and wholesome ad-
vice, and if he accepts it all he
will never know the exact con-
dition of his executive acts.
And yet every one pf these
framers of public opinion are con-
vinced that it is pointing out the
Only course certain to avert the
impending danger,
t - —-——
—The Congressional commit-
tee in South Carolina are so
eminently disgusted with the
condition of things there, that
the Republicans will probably
not make a minority report, as
m the custom with these inves-
tigating committees. They were
at first refused admittance to
the State House by the Sar-
geant-at-Arms, which indicates
that Chamberlain is not anxious
to have his acts inquired into.
—The Bonham News man goes
into fidgets because his friends
“drop in” and overhaul his ex-
changes, and the veteran editor
is thrown into extatic spasms
by the same conduct on the part
ot his friends. We are always
pleased to see our friends, and
allow them the use of our ex-
changes, but it does make us a
little nervous to have a man
who never subscribes for the
Democrat or patronizes it in
any way, come in and take our
latest exchanges from our hands
and throw his muddy feet on
the walnut top of our table, and
spurt his tobacco juice on our
whitened walls and brussels
carpet. We then feel that edi-
torial life without a bogardus
kicker is indeed a burden.
--^---
—When our hatred is violent,
it sinks m beueath those we
hat e.—Rochefoueault.
Sagacious politicians begin
to predict the disintegration of
the old parties as a result likely
to grow out of the disputed elec-
tion, no matter what settlement
may be reached. If Gov. Hayes
is inaugurated, they argued that
he will probably take such a
a course as to command the sup-
port of a majority of the House,
and to draw to him moderate
men of all politics, leaving ex-
tremists to form new organiza-
tions. On the other hand, if
Gov. Tilden becomes President,
he must have the co-operation
of a majority of the Senate or
his Lands will be tied, and, to
secure this he will be obliged to
shape his policy in such a way
as to incur the opposition of a
large element in the Democratic
party. Iu this event it seems
probable that a new formation
of party lines would occur which
would practically change the
two existing organizations from
Republican and Democratic into
administration and opposition.

A U. $. Marshal Hung in Texas.
H. J. Ware, depnty U. S. mar-
shal, when in charge of a party
of men were lately Conveying
him to Austin, was taken from
them and hung. Mr. Ware was
the officer who had arrested
members of a gang of counter-
feiters in some of the froutier
counties, and had them confined
in the Brenham jail pending
their trial, It is supposed that
some charge—probably horse-
stealing—-had been trumped up
against him, on which he was
arrested, find he proposed to ac-
company them to Austin to
have the matter investigated.
He surrendered his arms on a
pledge that he should be taken
to Austin. After he was dis-
armed and proceeding quietly
on his way his guard suffered
themselves to be overpowered,
and gave him up to his fate. He
was a very large and powerful
man, arid invincible courage, and
but for having given up his
arms his life would have been
dearly purchased. When kill-
ed he had warrants for the ar-
rest of three other prisoners be-
longing to a gang of counterfeit-
ers. He had been warned not
to go in search of these counter-
feiters without assistance, but
ventured alone, and in the at-
tempt it cost him his life.—For-
ney’s Press.
All of which makes very fine
reading for the people of the
North, who are looking up mat-
ter for “Southern outrages,”and
are doing what tney can to in-
jure the credit of Texas. The
marshal has just been released
from jail in this city, and is un-
der bond to answer to the courts
of the county for an assault with
an intent to kill and murder
Frank E. Wilscn, the sheriff of
Comanche county.
