RADICAL HOTTEST!:.
Strange ai it may appear from their past
hLstorj the Radicals of Texas are now try
ing to Bet themselves up as an honest party
and their candidate for Governor as an hon-
est politician. They assume that the peo-
ple hare forgotten their villainous conduct
during the last four years and can be
fooled by their present professions -jf hon
esty public economy opposition to railroad
subsidies and great love for the farming in-
terests. Let us go back and consider what
they hare actually done as compared with
their present professions. It may be well
to revive the memories of our people a little
in these matters. How have they 6hown
their love for the farmers? They taxed
them so oppressively that a tax convention
had to be called composed principally of
farmers to devise some means to get rid of
the oppression which was too burdensome
to be borne. Their Legislature the Twelfth
in which they had more than two-thirds
majorities voted the railroad subsidies
which they bow complain of. A Demo
cratic Legislature in Texas has never voted
a money subsidy to a railroad and the Dem
ocratic party has always been opposed to
them. Witness the declarations in their
two last platforms. On the contrary the
Radical' Legislature voted the money sub
sidy to the International Road with the ap
probation of Governor Davis who let the
bill become a law when he might have ve
toed it. So much for their action on rail-
roads. With regard to public economy
while they had full power and sway they
multiplied the number of . officers in the
State and increased their compensation.
Tho Twelfth Legislature had more officials
of all sorts than any Legislature ever had
before and was partiaIarly marked for its
extravagance recklessness profligacy and
corruption. The State was run in debt and
its credit destroyed. So much for public
economy which they now have the face to
prate about. Now for their honesty. We
charge and it should be remembered by
every citizen of Texas that they conducted
the elections while they had the powerdis-
honestly and made returns thereof and gave
certiiicatcs which were false in fact.
with the express intention of Kettinp;
n their men anyhow. Their extensive and
cunningly devised school system wa3 in-
tended to operate politically in their favor
and the great number of useless officials
under its provisions were expected to work
for the Radical party. We charge further
that the police were created for the same
vile purpose and to overawe and control the
elections. Thu was the object of the Gov-
ernor's proclamation in regard to the hold-
ing of the clections.and the appointment of
the special police to attend and overlook
the ballot boxes. We further charge dis-
tinctly that the Secretary of State James P.
Newcomb now proprietor and responsible
editor of the Juurnal which is pretending
to bo honest wrote letters marked private
to various points and to different persons to
get information so as to appoint none on the
special police force who were not Republi-
cans and would work for that party and
we challang? him to dony.thia explicit
charge. These special police twenty in
number for each county were appointed
for twenty-four days and to bo paid for
working for the Republican party during the
time that they were on duty. We dare the
Secretary of State to deny this and we call
on him expressly to answer this charge. So
much for Riidical honesty. It is all a pre-
tence and a sham. By their works ye shall
judge them.
THU DUTY OP REGISTRATION.
We publish elsewhere an editorial from
the Gainesville Guzette on the backwardness
of the people of Northern Tcxa9 in regard
to registration. It is calculated to strike
ono with astonishment and create serious
alarm. The editor says "there is not one
Radical white or black in one hundred
who will fail to be at the ballot box the
second day of December next while if
there is not more energy displayed by the
Democracy there will not bo one Democrat
in ten who will be at the polls on that day."
What tho Gazette says with regrrd to North-
ern Texas may bo said of the balance of the
State from what we cau see and hear.
How is this to be accounted for? Have our
people been so long over-ridden by the
Radicals at Washington aifd Austin so long
kept from the exercise of self-government
ns to become used to a state of political
slavery and careless of exercising the right
of suffrage now that they can do so with
little trouble aud without the fear of mili-
tary interference? It would seem so.
Many of them seem disgusted entirely with
politics since the war and its attendant conse-
quences and will take no part in them.
This is all wrong. Tliey must be roused
up to a feeling sense of the importance of
citizenhip and the exercise of the right of
suffrage or the country will be left in the
keeping of its worst characters men who
expect to make a living by politics and who
will take if they can the last dollar out of
tho people's pockets. Cannot these men
who are holding b: c'i from registration see
all this? Can they not become sensible of
the necessity of their action if they desire
to live under an honest government and
prosper by its just and e.ual administra-
tion of public affairs? Many of these men
we believe the most of them arc men of
property and apparently of good under-
standing except in relation to this one
point of registration and taking an active
intcn st in the politics cf the country. Ee-
fvTC tho change ia the jury law by the last
LogUUture we heard men both iu North-
ern and Middle Texas excellent citizens in
every t tlier respect men of property and
hijrh stvn
Vrv-
say that their ob
jection to registration was that if
they roUtered they would be compelled
to s.-rvc on juri?s with negroes and
t':cy i-'ird tJ avoid this. Now by the
fh ia the lav it will make r.o Gif cr-
t : whc;hcr they ure or arc not registered

come forward to the front and aid us in
making things better. This wc cannot do
if half the good citizens of Texas will
neither register nor vote and sit down lazily
witlwtrms folded but with mouths open and
ever grumbling about matters they will give
no help to make better. We know not what
to make of these men and hardly what to
say to them. We have exhausted argument
upon them and it seems to do no good.
'There are none so blind as those who will
not Bee." What we have to offer now as a
last device to get these men to do their
plainest duty is personal expostulation. In
every county in the State let committees be
appointed to ascertain who have not reg-
istered and call upon them personally and
talk to them and urge the importance of
registration at this particular time. Let
nothing remain unsaid in the way of in-
ducement which would be calculated to
arouse them to prompt action. Then after
all if they refuse to take part ia the govern-
ment of the country as all good citizens
should let them be accursed and avoided as
drones and useless members of society un-
worthy the association or countenance of
good men and patriots. If we use strong
language it is because we feel deeply on
this subject and cannot mince ouj words
wnen tne welfare oi the state and society
is at stake. Something must be done and
done quickly or an ignominious defeat in-
stead of a glorious triumph may await us.
THE ACTION OF THE NEW COX-
VESTION-IIAHIONY ABOVE ALL
THINGS DESIRABLE.
It will be borne in mind that we have
never raised any personal objection to the
candidates nominated by the Burnet Con
vention. We" considered them all good
men and sound Democrats. Our principal
objection was that the frontier counties
were left Without representation and that
they were complaining of this as we
thought they had the right to do. Now
for. the sake of perfect harmony and the
full satisfaction of the frontier we propose
that the new convention renominata the old
ticket with this exception: that in the
place of Judge Walker who declined the
position the frontier counties shall be al-
lowed a representative of their own selec-
tion. The county of Travis and the city
of Austindcsire above all things the suc-
cess of the party ticket at this particular
time and we trust their liberality will be
duly appreciated and remembered. We
think on the proposed basis that entire
harmony may be restored.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.
At the present day we frequently hear
the subject of politics scouted by men of
character and standing and politicians
spoken of with contempt. This is not
much to be wondered at considering the
kind of politics which this country has
been cursed with ever since the advent and
reign of the Radical party and the corrupt
politicians who have advocated and sus
tained it. But politics properly under-
stood and fairly and justly carried out is a
a noble science or art worthy the study
and consideration of. every citizen of a free
country. We give the definition of Noah
Webster taken from the unabridged edition
of his dictionary. "Politics the science
of government ; that part of ethics which
consists in the regulation or government of
a nation or State for the preservation of its
safety peace and prosperity; compre
hending 4he defense of its existence and
rights against foreign control or conquest
the augmentation of its strength and re-
sources and the protection of its citizens
in their rights with the preservation and
improvement of their morals. Politics as
a science or an art is a subject of
vast extent and importance." There is
the comprehensive definition of good old
Noah Webster and viewed in the light in
which he places it will it not be admitted
that there is something noble in the subject
of politics worthy the serious and earnest
consideration of every good citizen of this
republic. Instead of ignoring polities and
trying to bring discredit on the subject and
everything connected with it is it not the
imperative duty of every man to feci and
take a deep interest in itv and endeavor as
much as lies in his power to make it just
what the old lexicographer declares it to be
a "subject of vast extent and importance?"
We think so. Let all our people who say
they are sick and disgusted with politics and
will take no part in them ponder over this
matter well and see if they do not come to
the conclusion that they arc wrong and act
accordingly.
Well if politics be what it is represented
and defined to le why should politicians of
the right kind be spoken of contemptuously?
Wc know there is a class of so-called poli-
ticians who arc making a living by politics
such as arc now to be found generally
throughout the country who deserve
all the contempt and opprobrium which
could be heaped upon them. Rut
these do not deserve to be called poli-
ticians in tho true sense of that term. They
are dirty nauseous vultures preying on the
rotten portions of the body politic; they
are thieves and plunderers without any "re-
gard to the public weal W ithout a spark of
patriotism in their foul bosoms. Let these
be driven away from public life and forced
to keep themselves -within their own dens
of pollution and infamy and let real poli-
ticuns men of heart and brains take their
places and then we shall witness a reform
and a genuine progress at which all will re-
joice and exult. This can only be brought
about by all good men taking an active part
ia the politics cf the country and making
them what they really mean and should be.
Will every Texan who has concluded not to
register and vote think over this matter
and do his duty? We trust so ; it is not yet
too late.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFOUTX.
We would call the attention of our read-
ers to an excellent communication to the
Galveston which we republish to-day
on the question of constitutional reform.
Tne writer sets forth very clearly and
tersely the necessity of a Cozsiitatioae.1

the Xcieg is still inclined to hold on to its
old opinions but it is evidently shaken
somewhat by the force of the communica-
tion referred to and expresses the determi-
nation not to moot the matter further. We
are glad of this as we think the Demo-
cratic party should be a unit on this question.
TREASURY HONEY REINSTATED.
A few days ago we published the decision
of the Supreme Court in the case of Geo.
W. Honey v. B. Graham for the recovery
of the State Treasury. Upon the delivery
of this opinion Attorney General Alexander
moved a rehearing which was overruled on
the 24th inst. and an order issued to the
sheriff to place Sir. Honey in immediate
possession of the Treasury.
This important case has been pending for
over a year the court never having been
able to come to an agreement upon
it until a few days ago. The position
of the judges has been all the
time quite well understood. Judge Ogden
took a decided stand against the opinion of
Judge Walker while Judge Evans persis-
tently maintained a -neutral or undecided
course as regards the matter it never being
possible to bring him to any agreement upon
the case. And it may just as well be re-
marked here that a great deal of the appa-
rent inaction of the court has been caused
by similar conduct in other cases by an
obstinate and unaccountable course on many
most important and pressing matters. More
work has been done in a single month since
his retirement than for six months or prob-
ably a year before the late change upon the
bench.
We have often before during the heated
interest felt in this case expressed our
opinions upon it. The removal of Mr.
Honey was one of those high-handed meas-
ures where law as has been hi3 custom was
placed at defiance by Governor Davis. The
constitution provides for the removal of
State officers by impeachment before a high
court of the State and by no other means ;
yet Governor Davis claiming that Ho-
ney's office was vacated in consequence
of his absence from the State a charge
which up to this time could have been
brought against almost every other State
officer declared to this effect and by force
seized upon the office drove out Mr.
Honey's clerks and placed Dr. Graham in
possession of the office. There was never
a greater outrage committed upon the civil
rights of any community than this extraor-
dinary assumption of power by Governor
Davis. It was however parrallel to some
of the infamous measures adopted by the
lawless band of Radical politicians who
have controlled unfortunate Louisiana since
the war. It was a continuation of that des-
potic rule which incarcerated the Democratic
Senators of the Twelfth Legislature to se-
cure the passage of the infamous and tyran-
nical police and enabling acts the taking
away of habeas corpus from the inhabitants
of Limestone and Walkei counties and other
oft repeated wrongs against the citizens
of Texas. In his conduct he assumed both
judicial and executive powers and that too
with the aid of military power to enforce
his decree. Mr. Honey was pronounced
elected by the voters of Texas and was
qualified for the position of Treasurer. At
first he was in thorough harmony with the
Executive but afterward there was some
misunderstanding between them owing to
some ineffectual effort of the latter to con-
trol the former and the absence of Mr.
Honey for a short time shorter than that of
one or more State officials since that time
was seized upon as a pretext that his office
was vacated the sequal of which is already
well known. The dilatory conduct of the
court has been strange and entirely unac-
countable. The question of right involved
in the case is so plain that there has been
no discussion outside of the court as to the
legal right of Mr. Honey to hold the office
of Treasurer. Governor Davis has been
charged with using an undue influence and
there is very little doubt that he did all the
time attempt to control the action of the
bench. That the late change in the court
has operated towards breaking down this
influence is wo think evinced in the im
mediate decision of this case and we hope
it will prove as it should in the future su
perior to party interest and retrieve the
sullied name which has fallen upon it? The
decision in regard to the rehearing is pub
lished in to-day's issue.
SECESSION RADICALS.
It is curious with what ease the very hot-
est headed secessionists and hater3 of tho
Yankees during the war turn Radicals of
the worst kind. In our State there is Gen.
Parsons who before the war thought the
negroes no better than monkeys and wanted
to reopen tho African slave trade now one
of the most blatant and low-down Radical
politicians. Look at Governor Jo. Brown of
Georgia he is another of that class. While
the war was going on he was dissatisfied
with President Davis because he did not
conduct the war with more vigor and fury
against tho hateful .Yankees whom ap-
parently he wanted to eat up raw. He is the
Radical leader in Georgia and wa3 one of the
very first to go over. So of Hughes now
the Radical candidate for Governor of Vir-
ginia. During the war he was chief editor
of the Richmond Examiner assisted by the
notorious Tollard one of the same sort
and he was the most violent man against the
Yankees that could be found in the country.
He was always abusing Jeff Davis for his
mild and gentlemanly way of conducting
the war according to the best and most
merciful usages of modern warfare. Hughes
iusisteJ on showing no quarter and wanted
guerrilla parties to be thronging the coun-
try raiding and despoiling antl killing with-
oul mercy. We were in Richmond a long
time and well remember the character of
his editorials and those of Lis intimate
friend and associate Fol'.ard. And this is the
man now running for Governor of Yi'ginia
and supported by Grant and the whole vile
Radical set.

through Texas will have no drawback of
the kind. It can be run at all seasons of
the year and kept in repair at much less ex
pense than either of the other roads. It
will be shorter and better ia all respects. It
was the first route to the Pacific thought of
and considered practicable.
The building of this road through Texas
has so far progressed finely. Some inter-
ruption and delay have occurred first on
account of low water in Red River last year
and the yellow fever and quarantines thi3
fall but all things considered the mansgers
of the road have done well and we think
deserve commendation. It is now said that
the president of the road has negotiated a
loan in Europe of over $40000000 and
this comes in a shape to be credited. If so
it argues much financial ability on the part
of Tom Scott and great confidence abroad
in the uprightness and ability of the com-
pany to complete their great work as it
is said this negotiation was carried out in
the midst of the financial panic. We shall
hail with joy the completion of this great
undertaking which will place Texas in im-
mediate connection with California and the
Pacific.
What has been said of the Texas Pacific
will apply equally if not more strongly to
the International Road. It will have tho
same advantages of climate and exemption
from snow storms and interruption of
travel and freight. It will pass through a
healthy fertile and inhabited region all the
way to the Pacific besides being the short-
est route from ocean to ocean. As it will
pass transversely through Texas from the
northeast corner to the southwest it will be
of immense importance to our State and
when completed through to Mexico will
largely increase the trade of our Gulf cities
and towns as heavy freights which always
seek water transportation will first reach it
within our limits. With both these great
routes through Texas to the Pacific there is
no telling what it may become.
THE
UNCERTAINTY OF
GAMBLING.
STOCK
There seems as much uncertainty in the
gambling on 'Change with stocks and
bonds as in the throws of the dice and the
turning up of the cards. Fortunes are made
and lost in a week in a day in a few hours
by the sudden rise or fall of prices by com-
binations or a financial panic. Some of our
readers will be astonished to learn as we arc
by tho Chicago Tribune that within five
hours on Tuesday the fourteenth of this
month Vanderbilt the great operator and
millionaire lost $10000000 by the fall of
stocks which he held. The estimated fall
in the same securities since the panic first
commenced scarce a month in time is
$50000000 Vandcrfeilt's losses up to the
Tuesday mentioned the fourteenth had
reached the sumjof $20000000. This may
not be much for him to lose but it would
make a great many poor people very com-
fortable. The commodore as he is some-
times called owned a controlling interest in
the New York Central Railroad and the
Lake Shore Road and also as it appears
in the Western Union Telegraph Com-
pany. He secured his interest in the
latter at seventy-five cents and succeeded
by his management to run the stock up to
ninety cents in the dollar. Now it ha3
gone down to fifty cents and the Tribune
thinks is likely to remain near those figures
in spite of all Vandcrbilt's efforts to run up
the stock once more. We thus see the un-
certainty of these gambling doings with the
securities afloat in the country. Those who
go into them extensively may be million-
aires to-day and to-morrow little better than
paupers. "Will this thing ever stop? We
suppose not as long as there are stocks and
bonds in the country and we all know the
amount of these is immense and becoming
larger every day. States counties cities
towns and incorporated companies of va
rious kinds are crowding their bonds upon
the public and the gamblers of Wall street
are playing an excited game over them and
the various stocks with as much cheating
and over-reaching as ever was practiced by
the card and dice professionals. So wc go
and heaven only knows where we will stop.
Fkom a notice in the Stale Journal we
see that it is trying to get Ihe printing of
all the Radical tickets and it promises to
print them bo that they cannot be counter-
feited. This means besides an attempt to
get all the profit of printing tickets for the
whole Radical party that it will print them
so that the negroes can sec whether any of
their color vote the Democratic ticket and
spot them if they do. But wc tell the
Journal that this thing of force to produce
fear will not be permitted in the coming
election. There is now no military or
special police to overawe the voters and
they will be allowed to vote as they please
without molestation and if any attempt is
made either by whites or negroes to inter-
fere with the voters all engaged in it will be
promptly prosecuted under the laws of the
United States. So that the Journal had
better look out. Its ammunition will be at-
tended to.
Uxdeh cover of a people's party the Rad-
icals of Fayette and Bastrop and a few dis-
appointed sore headed Democrats like old
Jesse Eillingsly have nominated II. Lcd-
better for the Senate and Jack Walker of
Fayette and Eillingsly and Campbell of
Bastrop for tho lower house. Tho whole
thing was a Radical trick from the begin-
ning. The cry of a people's party was to
lead off a few deluded Democrats from the
regular ticket and thus secure Radical suc-
cess. The Hon. II. Ledbctter is the father
of the Democratic candidate for the Senate
W. II. Ledbctter and this 13 one of the
cases ia which the son ought to beat his
daddy and that too soundly.
The Diryratic 2ijrtl'-cst published at
Napoleon Ohio cf the sixteenth inst.
comes to r.s full of rejoicing over the late
election. A splendid chicken cock in full
feather he:d the column of election ctws.
Our lit e?t dispatches show that the noble
Democrats of Ohio Lire tot only elected
their Governor and a majority cf the Lf g-
ijhiisrc b".t also their Trcavurcr as-J At-
t..mey General. There is a:.-o a great ':!!-
ingoff of tho Radical ve'.e ia Iowa and

WeI earn from the Waco Examiner that
oa the very day Governor Davis was ia Wacc
declaiming loudly for negro equality a
white woman of that city was united in the
holy bonds of matrimony with a full
blooded negro described as oue of "the
biggest blackest and strongest of his race."
We can see now the practical working of
the Radical doctrines and the effect of Gov.
Davis' speeches. Is our noble white blood
to be contaminated with this shameless mis-
cegenation? Is Davis in favor of this? We
suppose he must be for this is the inevita-
ble effect of negro social equality and ming-
ling together at hotels theatres concerts
and the like which he and other Radicals
are contending for. Will the people of
Texas allow such a man to continue Gover
nor of their State?
About the time the canvass was berrinmnjr
in this State the necro Ruby Chairman of
th. Radical State Executive Committee
gave notice that he was authorized to ar
range joint discussions between Governor
Davis and Judge Coke. Coming through
such an unusual source instead of from
Governor Davis himself this proposition
was of course very properly ignored. Since
then Judge Coke meeting his opponent in
Northern Texas has challenged him to dis
cussion but the Governor declines. He can
hear of no proposition to that effect except
through Ruby I And the same of that great
orator of the Journal the warlike Confed-
erate Colonel Bob Taylor when challenged
by Col. Hubbard to joint discussions he too
throws off on Ruby! This shows the offer
of joint discussions was all a sham from the
first as we felt certain it was.
The Journal is trying to make it appear
that we are persecuting the Germans. We
fought Know Nothingism to the bitter end
and we have ever defended the foreigners
from their enemies in this country who now
make up the bulk of the Radical party.
Does the Journal deny that there are now
three old Know Nothings on the Radical
ticket? Its stuff about juries is sheer dem-
agogism not worthy a reply. How could
a man sit as a juror in an American case
who could not understand a word of Eng
lish when judge witnesses and lawyers
could talk nothing else? The Journal edi-
tor is an ass andjmust take its readers to be
fools.
The Journal of yesterday evening is silent
as the grave on tho charges which we have
preferred against the Radical party. Are
they to be considered as admitted? Does
James P. Newcomb the Secretary of State
admit that he wrote such letters as we indi-
cated and charged upon him in express
terms? If so how then can he or his party
set up for honest politicians? Will they
hide their faces in shame? Again we call
upon the Secretary and editor to deny or
admit it expressly. No dodging. - Come to
the point. Did you write such letters?
We publish from the Chicago Tribune an
article en political blackmailing showing
what has been going on in that way at St.
Louis Baltimore and New York. The same
thing has been going on here with the
Texas Radicals. A very worthy employee
in the Governor's office was a short time
ago turned off because he refused to pay a
heavy assessment on his salary for political
purposes. The Radicals do this every-
where for money in elections is one ' of
their main reliances.
The Tenth District has the following
Democratic nominations ; For the Senate
Joseph Morris of Hunt; for the lower
house William A. Wortham of Hopkins.
Capt. W. G. McGcc of Rains and G. W.
Patterson of Delta!
In the Fifteenth Senatorial District there
are now three tickets in the field. We have
heretofore noted the Radical ticket headed
by Ed. Randlc for Senate The inde-
pendent Republicans have now brought for-
ward the following ticket: For Senator
Hon. John S. Mills of Grimes late member
of the Thirteenth Legislature and for the
lower house Richard Williams of Walker
J. II. Washington of Grimes and Dr. Oli-
phant of Walker. The Democrats of that
district have nominated Dr. Johnson of
Madision Senator and Mr. Lee of Sum
Jacinto Sam. Smith of Walker and Capt.
Smith of Navasota.
The derision on the motion for rehearing
in the Honey case which is published to-
day possesses certainly a very strange in-
consistency. It starts out by asserting most
positively that the State is not a party -to
the cause and winds up by adjudging costs
against it. Most assuredly the State will
never pay them when the whole court
agrees to the fact that the State ij not one
of the disputants. It is to be hopud that
such inconsistencies do not often creep into
the Supreme court decisions.
A Coxgkession'AL excursion party num-
bering seventy-five have written to A. M.
Hobby Esq. of Galveston that they pro-
pose to go through to that city and ask if it
is desired to give them a public reception.
Mr. Hobby very properly replies that he
fears the yellow fever scattered along the
Central Railroad will prevent their coming
but if they desire to run the risk the city
will make due provision for them. It would
seem that nothing short of earthquakes and
volcanoea can stop these excursion? where
nothing is to be paid for eating drinking
or the ride. We think it about time they
should be stopped. We can see no good
growing out of thc:a they arc an cxjfn-f
to somebody for nothing.
We understand that Hon. O. N. Hollhigs-

nomination.

Mr. R. II. Small has retired from the
Trinity Adcocate having sold out his inter-
est to Dr. II. J. Hunter who takes his
place. The Adcocate is a good Democratic
paper and we wish it every success.
The Democracy may judge something of
the Granges in Texas by the fact that at the
late State Grange held at Dallas Cutler
the Radical editor of tho Denison Journal
was appointed deputy to organize Giangcs
in Northern Texas.
The Journal talks a great deal about news-
papers under the control of railroads and
railroad lawyers etc. The Journal has re-
ceived more money from railroads than all
the other papers of tho State put together.
Even now it is attempting to blackmail the
International Railroad. It understands per-
fectly the game of "stop thief."
The State Journal calls our article on the
duty of registration an act of "terrorism.''
We have no doubt the Journal would be
glad if the Democrats would stay away from
tho polls and let the carpet-baggers the
scalawags and negroes control the State.
There is more "terrorism" in this than in
anything else which could happen.
The Journal after trying the landlord
and tenant bill and the Granges and rail-
roads and finding them poor ammunition
which explodes without hurting anybody
has fallen back on secession and old Sam
Houston. The poor whirligig hardly knows
what it is about.
