To the People of Texn«.
Executive Office, Austin, \
January 19, 1874. f
Aa yoa are interested in having a
correct understanding of the occur-
rence! (hat have recently taken
place here, and of the motives which
have actuated hie, I think it is prop-
er to address 'you the folldfrihg
statement:
You are awart from public noto
rity that a case was brought before
the Supreme Court during' last
month, wheiviu the question of the
legality of t lie eMetion hi Id on the
2d day of December last was hi is-
sue. This cast'. >as within the ju-
nction of fie Jourt, and the
oeewiep therein wu^ireetlyagaiust
the eonati tutionsrtiny of the net nm>
der whiH> the election was held,
thus declaring, by tbe decree of the
highest tribunal iu the land, the
nullity of tlmt election.
It is not expedient to inquire into
tlio policy of such a decision.
Whether it was advisable or not to
have the election set aside or a
new one ordered is immaterial. The
cour.t having the case before them
was bound to decide, and did de-
cide, and it was the duty of the
constituted authorities of the State,
and of all good citizens, to respect
tbe decision. As the Executive or
the State I was necessarily first
called on to give an example of obe
dience to tbe laws. The persons
claiming tb compose the so called
Fourteenth Legislature assembled
at Austin on the 13th iust., assum-
ed to organize as a Legislature at
the Capitol, and sent a committee
to me requesting recognition as the
legitimate Legislature of the State.
This recognition, alter mature dp
liberation, I decided not tograut,aa
I could not disregard the decision
of the Supreme'Court.
But 1 did not, as was probably
expected by many I would do, use
auy violence towards the assem-
blage, or attempt forcibly to ex-
clude theiii from the Capitol, or pre-
vent their organization. My mo
tive iu this mild course towards
that body was a hope they' would
be governed on their part by moder-
ate counsels ami that souie means
for legalizing the election might be
arrived at or that by some com-
promises guarantying a liberal -Mid
anti reactionary policy, iu the
course of time their de facto Legisla-
ture might universally be accepted
as one of right. This being, iu my
opinion, about as good a solution
as could have been iiad by another
election, which probably, even if
conducted according to the strictest
compliance with the Constitution,
would have resulted substantially
as the past one. But they awl the
persons claiming to be elected Gov.
and Lieutenant Governor were not
sntisiied with a moderate course.
Finding it impossible to get from
me a recognition in defiance of the
decision of the Supreme Court,
even though they offered to secure
it by conceding my right to my of-
fice for the term I claimed, tlie.v on
the 15th inst. attempted the extreme
ol ausurpation of the State Govern-
ment by a pretended inauguration
of Messrs. Coke and Hubbard (tin
der color th;it my term ot oiliec had
expired on the 3d day of December
last, under what is called the elec-
tion Declaration, aud they and the
persons thus inaugurated by them,
have assumed forcible control ot the
State Government.
Tbe facts as to my tenure of of-
fice are these : The election decla-
ration spoken of, called lor an elcc
tion on the first Monday in July,
1809. it was one of the numerous
"declarations," passed by the Con-
vention ot 1808, some of these giv-
ing large donations ot money aud
lands to private enterprises. These |
have never been recognized as legs! j
by any authority, though the:
schemers who intended to profit by •
them have iu various ways, directly {
endeavored to get a recognition of;
them. The election declaration was j
treated as a nullity by the Act of;
Congress of the 10th ot April, 18C9,;
which forbid the election on the j
day called for in that declaration, |
and left it to the President of the'
Uuited States to order it. He or-
dered it, accordingly, at the time it j
actually did take place, but I was
forbidden by the Reconstruction
Acts ot Congress to be Constitution-
ally untiuCougress should accept our
new State Coustitution, which was
not done till the 30th of March,
1870. In the mean time 1 had, ou
tbe 11th day of January, 1870, been
apiwiuted Provisional Governor by
the Military Commander of the |
District, and ou the 17th of Janu-
ary had accepted the same by tak-
ing, not the Constitutional oath, hut an
oath prescribed by the li<uouttructii>n
Actx of Conyret*. I continued its
Provisional Govoronr until the 28th
day of April, when I was regularly
installed as Constitutional Gover-
nor. My salary iu tbe ueau time
being different from that paid the
Governor uuder our present Consti-
tution, and my duties 'being also
different.
To preveut the usurpation of the
State Government I called upon the
President of tbe United States for
assistauoe against the violence
which was being used tq install the
usurpation, He having decliued to
give me the assistance, I could ou|y
»*•?»$ w«md.
as I had ai my own disitossl, ana
finding the use of these likely to
cause a great public disturbance to
the serious, aud perhaps lasting, in-
jury of the State, I determined to
disband the force i .tiad organized
aud abandon all purpose of forcible
resistance to the usurpation trus-
ting that tliis would prove, to the
State the least of two evils. The
Secretary in charge of the Gover-
nor's otlice and lecords, was direc-
ted to relinquish tbein to force.
Finally to-day an attack was made
ou the office by: a mob headed be
the pel sou pretending to be Gover
nor. The door broken open and the
office and records seized.
Thus for the present the usurpa-
tion seems successful. The revolu-
tionists of 1801 have repeated their
experiment ot thirteen years since.
They have for the time being by
violence, their usual resort, over-
ridden the cecision of the highest
court aud subverted the State Gov-
eminent.
