—The DEifocffiT tPiists that
thfe efiemies and opponents to
the present State administration
will withdraw their opposition
fit Ohce,’ now that the executive
chaJif is to b’e occupied by one,
who is in rid Wise responsible
for the condition of affairs' that
they so greatly deplore. Give
Gov. Hubbard a chance, and do
not embarrass his actions by an
opposition, and unjust Criticism
Of what “he is going to do.
—The editor ot the Waco
Examiner is so extremely virtu-
ous that he won’t even crack a
joke with his confreres, and so
pious that he wou’t crush the
casing of a pecan, for fear of
breaking one of the command-
ments, that may have surrep
titiously been concealed there-
in. We are going to send broth-
er Thompson of the Pittsburg
Mdgnet dowu to talk with him a
little^
A switchman on the Texas &
Pacific was so badly injured a
few days since that no hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
The Statesman speaks learn-
edly of “old veterans,” but
never a word of any Other class
of veterans that .ve presume are
lurking afotind in the shadow
of the capitol, or why the em-
phasis on the “old.”
An Austin policeman never
shoots more than three times at
his victim. Etc then throws
dowu his pistol, and give chase
and overhauls the culprit, and
“coat-collars” him into the au-
gust presence of his honor. An
Austin policeman’s legs are of
longer range, and more swift
than his bullets, and far more
accurate.
The Sherman cottou compress
received the first bundle of the
“flecy” into its vigorous em-
brace on the 25th, and gave it
just such a squeeze as Martin
gives the lemon that he finds in
his punch, and the bale came
out as flat as a Dallas editor’s
pocketbook.
They have the Georgia min-
strels, two forgery, one bribery,
and a murder case, all in one
day in Waco, and the editor of
the Examiner straights up, and
makes believe that Waco is as
mean a town as Dallas—but
when he takes a second sober
thought he relinquishes the
claim and subsides into nis No.
6 boots.
Sweet potatoes sell for fifty
cents a bushel in Greenville, and
the Independamt is as gasy as an
inflated balloon.
Dennison baa just received a
fresh importation of pickpock-
ets and thieves, who get up
sham fights to draw a crowd and
then relieve the unwary of their
pocket-books.
fiempstead is to have a high
school, established for the ex-
press purpose of teaching the
young idea how to spell the un
pronouncable name ot the editor
of the Messenger.
Press Opinions.
DRUGS AND MEDICINES.
—If the rumor which prevails
fbat, Tom Scott and Huntington
have compromised all their dif-
ferences, and that the war be-
tween these two mighty Railroad
Stragetists is at an end, it will
be curious to see what disposi-
tion the Statesman will make of
the King of Thieves, and the
I in maculate Hutington, as co-
partners in the railroad bnsines.
There must be something in the
tumor, for Huntington seems to
have called off bis hounds for a
time at least.
A Solid &uth.
Greenville Independent: Gov
Coke has expressed his deter
miiiatiofi to retire from the ex
ecutive office on the 1st. of De
cember, in order to prepare him
sell for the proper discharge of
his duties aa Uuited States Sen-
ator. The Governor has made
several gfpeeches recently, and in
each one has poured out vials of
his wrath on the public journals
tnat have seen proper to criticise
his course since his elevation to
the office he now holds. Such
conduct should be far beneth the
dignity of the chief magistrate
of Texas, and the friends of our
retiring Governor must feel cha-
grined at the sight of their fa-
vorite being led so far beyond
the bounds of propriety by a
passion of revenge.
Marshal Herald: It behooves
the llemoerats of this Congress-
ional District to be up and do-
ing, Only twelve days more re-
main. Next Tuesday week the
election takes place; If through
their supineness and over-confi-
dence a full Democratic vote is
not polled, repentance will come
too late; They know as well as
they can know anything, that
every Radical will be certain to
vote. The leaders of that party
openly boast that they will ob-
tain in the four counties they
expect to carry, Harrison, Ma-
rion, Camp and Red River, twen-
ty-six hundred majority. We
must see that they do not con
trol all of them, and this count
will be largely diminished.
The Statesman, now that Scott
and Huntington are about to
compromise, proposse to make
amends for its sins, and adver
tises for Elder Smith in the fol-
lowing indirect way. You will
find sim in Illinois:
“They are awful sinners of
case-hardened hearts in Fort
Worth. Elder Smith of the
Christian Church, preached
away there, trying to stir them
up for a week Paddock looked
in ouce or twice and it was a fail-
ure. But a stranger came along
the night the good preacher was
to depart. The unknown man
marched up to the pulpit and
was taken in and dipped that
same night, becuse he might
back-slide before day in such a
town, and Bro. Smith shook the
dirt from his feet and meandered
away from Paddock, and Fort
Worth is given over to hardness
of heart and feprobacy of mind.

—The Republican managers
have yielded Indiana to Tilden,
and either given up Ohio, or are
resting in fancied security as to
the result m that State, and are
concentrating their forces in
New York, and making a vigo-
rous effort to carry that State
for Hayes. Tbeir efforts will
eeriaruly prove futile, for the
entire means at their control,

of the Empire State, to roll up

—The inauguration of Spot-
ted Tail, as the chief of the
Sioux, may terminate the Indian
War, but the red skins are so
accustomed to having a word in
their tribal matters, that they
may not so readily succumb to
the authority of a chief maefe at
the White House, and placed
over t hem without their consent.
This action on the part of Grant
only foreshadows his course in
relation to the States, had he
only power to carry bis will in
to effect, as be has with the
ignorant savages.

Yes^ there is a solid South. A
South solid in is broad sense of
justice and right. A South sol-
id in its devotion to the best in-
terests of the common country
—solid in its devotion to the
Union. A South solid iu its op-
position to the ressurreotiou of
sectional leud. A South solid
and unanimous in a sincere de
sire to restore the Union to the
control of the only party whose
principles guarantee that the
government, shall be administer-
ed after the fashion which the
fathers dreamed—a government
of free and integral states, as-
suring freedom of actiou and
thought to all men, and holding
lip the finger of warning to the
schemes and aspirations of the
ambitious and unscrupulous. A
South solid in its opposition to
those who would estrange and
sectionalize the country; who
would prosper dissensions, who
would engender prejudices; who
would be hoisted to power by
the arms of b.ind hate and igno-
rance; who would tea” down the
fabric of free government, and
place in its Rtead the govern-
ment of one man. A South sol-
id iu its advocacy of a free and
enlightened government. A
South solid iu its devotion to an
unsectionalized Union. A solid
South whose people know no
North* no South, uo East, no
West; but a glorious Union for-
ever. Yes;? the South is solid
in all things; and, if such be a
crime in the estimation of Radi-
calism, the solid South is willing
to take all the consequences;—
