During our absence in Austin, Mr.
Geo. Lawrence will conduct the edi-
torial department of the standard.
The business management will be in
charge of Mr. Geo. M, Patten. We
liave arranged so that our readers
will be fully informed of all matters of
interest at the State Capital.
The majorities by which Judge Sabin
was eleeted are as follows: Galveston
county, J23; Brazoria, .'108; Matagorda,
175; making GOO in all.
Winter seems to be lingering around
Austin, waiting wo suppose lor the lap
of Muy. The Gazette of the 10th iust.,
says:
There was a heavy frost last night,
by which ico was formed at least a
quarter of an inch in thickness. We
take it for granted the crops are all
killed and a quietus put oo every char-
aeter of fruit.
Tlio Spring fights have opened in
due 1'orin at Austin. On Saturday we
are told that, Dr. Beaumont the hand-
some and portly enrolling elerk of the
Mouse was accosted in a discourteous
and insulting manner by one " Colonel"
Itobi 11.son, formerly a member of the 12th
Legislature, and known in that body
as a Democrat Who obtained his seat
under false representations of being a
Republican. Robinson having called
lieaumout "a liar," the latter retorted
with "a knock down" argument. For-
tunately for Robinson restraining
friends prevented the comely Doctor
from doing further bodily harm to his
adversary.
Whether pistols and cofl'eo for t^'o
will be the next thing in order remains
to bo developed.
The A'cien, untieing the fact that the
Montgomery (Ala.) Watchman has been
discontinued, takes occasion to proffer
us some advice. If the counsel is kind-
ly meant, and courtesy forbids that wo
should appear to regard it otherwise, it
would be churlish in us to ignore if.
Therefore, while wo are willing to ac-
cept the officious gratuitv of the Xrws
for what it is worth, we must respect-
fully decline to act upon a suggestion,
which, as far as we are concerned, is
based upon an entirely erroneous opin-
ion.
Wo do not know what Mr. philip
Joseph's views with regard to the col-
ored pcoplo of the South nre, but as far
as our oxiierienco goes—an experience
wliieh the events of tlio late civil War
verities—they aro in no sense the ene-
mies of the Southern whites. Rut, on
tlio other hand, if to degrade a human
being by the force of institutions, cus-
toms and laws to the level óf a bruto,
is the greatest injury his follow-man
can inflict—if, when by Providential
interposition the power to so degrade
him is destroyed, former oppressors
systematically refuse to recognize his
restoration to the status of manhood,
anil insist upon maintaining invidious
distinctions growing out of, and belong-
ing solely to,-his past condition—then,
we affirm that the Southern whites have
been and still are the enemies of the
colored race.
As a public journalist wo do not ap-
prove arbitrad' distinctions either of
race or class, and therefore we do not
desire to foster them, and we can in
all sincerity assure the Nvm that we
should heartily rejoice to see a good
and cordial understanding subsisting
between the whites and tlio blacks of
the South. Rut it must lie tut under-
standing which recognizes not the de-
pendence of the blacks solely, but
the interdependence as equal citizens of
each race upon tlio other. Raeeantago-
nisntwilldisnppenr when mcoopprcssiou
ceases; and the Xt'icx can rest ami rod
that when the class for which it speaks,
forgetting that the negro was a slave,
and forgiving him for being free, ex-
tends to him the hand of geuuine
friendship, ho will go moro than half-
way to grasp it.

AN OWOKTIMI Y.
Tlio attempt ou the port oLtha I'fl
tou wing of the Domoewcy to orgauli
the party, appears not la be a stv
on the eontrary instead of closing
breach iu the ranks of the «titerrified,
brought about by events precedent to
and ntteuduut upon the recent munici-
pal election, it has been made wider,
and the confusion already existing,
worse ««in founded.
Of course, believing Democracy's dif-
ficulty to lte our opportunity, we do
not regret the dissension existing in
the Democratic camp; we are only de-
sirous to seethe Republicans of Gal-
veston pursue ti course which will ena-
ble them to profit permanently by the
disruption of the elements which have
hitherto been banded against them. In
order to accomplish this, however, some-
thing mofe is uecessary than the mere
Shibboleth of a party name to be used for
electioneering purposes and then laid
asido with other olap-traps incidental
to itoliticivi' campaigns. The national
administration is Republican, because
a majority of the' people of the United
States believe in the principles which
the Republican party profess; and in
order to disseminate those principles in
sections whore tlie party is in the mi
nority, and promote its growth, it is
essential that prominent Republicans
should illustrate its principles by their
practice, and strive to aid the party by
encouraging all who adhere to its or-
ganization and endorso its principles.
Therefore, as a Republican journal,
wo warn those who aspire to bo party
leaders that "actions speak louder tliuu
words," and if they desire tlio success
of the party hr Texas, they must do
nothing that will indicate a willingness
ou their part, whenever occasion serves,
to neglect staunch adherents iu favor,
of luko-wariu partisans. Iu order to
avail itself of the opportunity which
current events foreshadow, the Repub-
lican party as it exists to-day must be
a unit, kuit together liy a hearty coop-
eration of its elements for the acquisition
of common benefits, in which pitch of
its members will bo assured of ait equal
share.
The Republican party of Texas, in
order to triumph over Democracy,
must have the courage of its professed
convictions; and (it must, manifest that
courage by uu unflinching adherence
to the fundamental idea of Republican
government—that the privileges of citi-
zenship arc paramount to the preju-
dices of society. What is known as
Democracy, in Texas, is a propaganda
of caste, drawing its inspiration from
the past; while Republicanism is the
evangel of humanity, Hading its «ano
tlon in the prompting tlio present
and the Jiopos of the future.
Let the Republican party of Texas
then adopt, not merely for its motto
but for its rulo of action, "equal rights
to all," and under that sign it must
conquer—under any other it will fail.
PUNIO FAITH.
It is rumored that C. W. Ilurley
having made certain promises through
his friends, before the election, by vir-
tue of which Republicans were to re-
ceive a certain proportion of the muni-
cipal appointments, now desireB to be-
tray his friends and deceive those to
whose votes ho is indebted for the posi-
tion ho occupios. If this bo true, it
certainly places Mr. Ilurley in an unen-
viable iiosition boforo tlio community
and even among politicians, to say
nothing of those who subscribe to a
more rigid code of morality, must de-
tract from that respect which attachos
in every relation of life, to good faith.
Bnt as our advocacy of Mr, Hurley's
election, was uninlluoiiced by auy pros-
pect of personal advantage to accrue to
ourselves, so his failure to keep any
protuisc Which he may have seen fit to
make to others, does not, materially al-
ter our preference for him as the lessor
of two evils, politically speaking be-
tween which iu the late municipal elec-
tion, good citizens wore compelled to
choose. For, it must be borne iu mind
the question was uot whether Republi-
cans or Democrats should aiimiuister
our municipal affairs, but it was wheth-
er the better or tlio worse elements of
tlio Democratic party should have the
ascendency in local govern meat.
By the aid of the Republicans ol
Galveston the better elements afore-
said succeeded in electing C. W. Hur-
ley. With that result, as tlio best
attainable wo were satistied then,
nor will tlio fact that the successful
candidate repudiates the acts of his au-
thorized agents, be of sufficient impor-
tance to cauqe U to «'grot it now. It
was no moro than right that in com-
bining to elect a "people's ticket," the
Republicans should have rtsked for,
and the Democrats should havo conce-
ded a fair apportionment of the ap-
pointments «to lie mude in case their
ticket was successful; and it would be
exacting too much of that sort of hu-
man nature of which politicians are
made, to expect them to submit nil*
eouiplniiiingly to such porlldious treat-
ment as they are likely to receive at
Air. Hurley's hands. Wo hope, howev-
er, that Republicans who feel justly
aggrieved at this wanton exhibition of
Punic faith on the part of the Democra-
cy, wil! indulgo iu no useless rcfriuiina
tion; but leaving Mr. Ilurley and Ids
Pijjpyt* profit by their i>crttó.y>id
tffero it disgrace, await t
wjll "luroly (¡orno, when
ubltytfr turn their present
good acKonnt. Our kuowledgi
publican politicians lias taught,us that
they are not infalible; in facttluitthey
are of two sorts—good and b|d: but
really, what wo hoar of Mr. ^urley's
conduct induces us to think tlat poli-
ticians of the Democratic stripd can be
clussiffed only under the head of bad
or worse. • Leaving out of viey, how-
ever, party differences, and regarding
publio interests solely, wo feelTbound
to say iu reference to the individual
who headed the picket which w« helped
to elect, that au unprincipled politician
can hardly make an upright nuigis

FLOORED I
Wo regret to learn that Soutk Caro-
lina, wherein the very pink of Southern
chivalry was wont to disport itself, is
"prostrate,, down trodden, plundered."
This is indeed sad uows to all vho re-
member her proud position in the good
old times, before tlio Democratic eon
vention assembled at Charleston and
determined, like tho old woman in the
fable, to kill the goose which hud been
so long laying her golden egg . Bat
there can be no mistake about it, for
Pike a renegade correspondent of an
apostate journal known as tho N, Y.
Tribune, has made a pilgrimage to. the
polluted halls of the old daveholding
aristocracy, and at the deserted shrine
of that cruel deity to whose worship
hecatombs of human meriftces have
been offered, has wept such tears as
only an "old line abolitknist" who lias
fallen so far from his original estate tut
to pander to tho prejudices ho once de-
spised, and to spit upon the principles
he formerly professed, can weep at a
prospect which once he would have
considered an apt illustration of the po-
et's thought:
"This evtli-llanded justice
Commends tlio ingredients of our poison'(1
ehaliee
To our own lips."
But now the Tribune^ missionary
can seo nothing in Columbia but "tho
slave rioting in the halls of his master,
ami putting that master under his feet."
Still some "compunctuous visitings of
conscience," 110 doubt, compel Pike to
admit that "it is done without malice
and without vengeance."
In fact, l'iko writes to his employers
that South Carolina has gone complete-
ly to tho "demnition bbw-wbws."
But mark now the treatment which
the "Liberal" missionary, who, having
conquered his prejudges in favor of
freedom, receives when ho comes, to
mourn at the grave of slavery. Tho Ma-
con Telegraph stigmatizes Pike as "an
old abolitionist," at the same time emp
tying all tlio vials of its wrath upon his
repentant head'; while it treats the
Tribnnt) to the choicest morsels of with-
ering contempt that can be found in
tho repertory of Southern invective.
Ah to the Savannah Xeirs, it fairly
raves at tho bare suggestion ou the
part of the Tribune, that, this social up-
heaving may havo been a retribu-
tion." " Retribution!" it scrcams*, " tho
infamous audacity of such a pliant-
saical surmise fatigues tho indigna-
tion." Moreover, we grieve to say it
calls the apostle of reconciliation upon
whom tho mantle of the canonized
Greeley has fallen, a " saintly hypo-
crite, of the higher law school
" This wiiii tho most unkiudost cut of all."
Well, we suppose that from the stand-
point of those Southern flre-eators who
have been 'tor generations accustomed
to think Vetat fcxt. nous, 'It docs look as
if society was turned topsy-turvy, and
that the old Palmetto State, notwith-
standing its motto—Aninm opilm que
parati—is floored. But to us it looks
as if the State freed from uin incubus
uuder which it had long groaned, was
about to adjust itself upon a firmer
basis, and stand erect. To us, South
Carolina illustrates the Giock idea,
which the Savannah Xewx misapplies—
" Though the mills of God grind slowly, yot
tho grind exceeding Miiall;
Though with patience Ifo «tanda waiting,
with exactness grinds He till."
Twenty. Fon rtli Letter.
Aesri.v, April 11, 1873.
Legislation moves on apace. The
House, has .been very. "laudably." en
gaged for nearly a week past iu oon
«¡deration of a general appropriation
bill. With a fervor born of their zeal
for "retrenchment and reform," a ma
jority of that body have carefully elim
inntod nil appropriations for cer,taiu
departments of tho State government
from the general bill, and reduced the
amount absolutely necessary in others
to so,great an extent that were it posst
ble for such a bill to become a law, the
State government would in part sus-
pend.
Tho executive department especially
bespoke the majority's attention. The
furniture and repairs of Governor's
mansion and grounds, which in 1800
was allowed by a Democratic Legisla-
ture for that party's Governor—Throck-
morton—to the amount of# 11,000, was
found, (though reduced by several
thousand dollars during the 12th Leg-
islature, for Governor Dsvis), altogetli-
stance.his advice was not deemed per-
tinent; Governor TUrockmorton, their
executive, might bo allowed 811,000
for one year, for tho purjmseB mention-
ed ; but Governor Davis, beiugRcpub-
iican in politics, eouí? get on wlíh flJSCT
for tico years. That was deemed am-
ply sufficient for )iim. Then, too, the
Hon, M. Short found that tho two clerks
employed, by the State executive iu his
office were, though deemed heretofore
necessary for Democratic Governors,
rather superfluities for Governor Da-
vis. The present Governor could "get
ou" with less "clerical lalwr." He might,
iu fact, besides performing the entire
clerical duties of his office, perhaps dis-
pense with tlie services of á porter.
The Honorable member from. Shelby
was not so sure of this last, but evi-
dently his opinion süt in that direction.
Mr. Short's ideas, thtis expressed, were
conclusive. ..
The executive department was "re-
duced." Of course, in this excellent
tempex-, the Secretary of State's office
hagbeen freely discussed. The charges
rung upon the name of the geiitlemaii,
the present incumbent of that depart-
ment, must have afforded him delight
iu Insuring. He proved aproliflic theme.
Though always deeming Secretary
Xcwcouib a clover and able gentleman,
of force and purpose, I hardly knew
what a Maohiavcl ho was until the
House debates. ' The Democratic mem-
bers of that body, W!h> delight to air
thoir rhetoric, have given the Secreta-
ry an enviable. reputation. They as-
cribe to him all the masterly qualities of
mind that none but the most accom-
plished diplomat could possess.
It having been determined that the
State police should be abolished, íio ap-
propriation tbr this force is considered
by the House. In fact, that body re-
fuses to pay the deserving consta biliary
force for even the services they have
rendered. The Adj't.Genernrs depart-
ment, and the Land Officii, share alike
the displeasure of tlie House.' The ono
is barely permitted ¡in Appropriation,
whilft tho other i régit'iíTed uíidcr' thc
supervision óf Commissioner Kuechler,
as "a refuge for foreigners," In other
words, tho German American^ who
are employed there are distasteful to
the feelings of legislators. Germans
aro üsefitl oliíj* wíieti tlicy vote, to the
Democraticmind. After that isdonethoy
should not "obtriide their claims. Mr.
Kuechler is therefore recommended to
make his office self-supporting by fees,
and do without appropriations.
Dcficioncy bills wjll hardly be con-
sidered by the House during the pres-
ent session; though, what is termed
"the organ" of the majority, lias called
their attention in strong terms to the
suffering which has been imposed upon
the clerks and employees of the sever-
al State departments, as well as their
chiefs, together with a number of the
district judges, and law officers—be-
cause of long since exhausted appro-
priations, Clerks with families have
bécu obliged for nearly a year to hy-
pothecate their eertiticatcs of service,
and obtain money at exorbitant rates
of interest upon such endorsed notes
nt tho banks as their friends havo felt
willing to incur. Much inconvenience
has necessarily resulted from this con-
dition of affairs.
Possibly within a week the House
will havó finally considered the ap-
propriation bill. Its disposition in the
Semite promises to be favorable to
these as other classes of tho State's
creditors who are denied pay for ser-
vices rcudcred and imposed.
KAILUOAD DILLS.
Tho House has now under considera-
tion fully ten raili'oiid bills inviting
land donations. 1'irst in importance is
tho Texas Pacific Railroad, granting
twenty sections of land to tho mile and
a year's extension of time' in building.
This is made the special order for to-
morrow, and from day to day until dis-
posed of. Then follow the 'Gulf, West
Texas and Pacific Railroad, Commo-
dore -Morgan's road, the Galveston and
Eastern Texas Railroad, the Tyler Tap
Railroad, ami a number of others, none
asking less than sixteen sections of
land to the mile. The Honso couples
its generosity iu land grants to those
companies, however, by such provisos
in the bills as these: "that in no case
shall the State be iu any way liable for
deficiency of vacant domainand the
requirement, to call fit county sites,
whenever, the line of the road is within
flvo miles of tho sawio.
The Senate has the old Denver Rail-
road bill revived iu the form of the
Port Worth and Denver Railway. The
Senator from Tarrant, Mr. Evans, has
special charge, of this, uud as the meas-
ure is one of interest to his constitu-
ents, is quite sanguine of its passage.

THE I-'UNF.RAL OP THE MTTHDERED PO-
takes jilaco to-morrow. Senator Shel-
ley, iu bolmlf of the friends of the de-
ceased, invited tho Senate to be pres-
ent, and it is probable that, that body
will accept, the invitation at tho hour
designated, 10 o'clock in the morning.
Unlike thei House the Senate evinces
from its vote and disposition a desire
to respect the ni'éJWoncs' of men who
fell victims to. a murderous mob while

further questions my af-
firmation that our citizenship is as old
in essence as tho constitution itself.

ftifd'tuat is colol'ed pebple are nbt per-
sons.
Tho qucstipn is also asked, "By
what process of reasoning can wo con-
clude that what is has always been ?" I
answer t y first proving that, what haw
always been is, when tho facts in tin*
case permit; it. .
When did man give to his fellow-mmr
the right to enslave him, and thus de-
prive or abridge his rights thereby 1
"Ilow absurd, also, to say that a
naturalized colored citizen of the
United States lias'been a citizen of tho
United States from his birth!" How
unfortunate, when striving With might
and main to prove a falso theory, to
misquote your opponent!
1 saiil, in my former article, " only
adopted citizens may be regarded on
'their adoption
on as liew citizens, because,
their citizenship was coeval with their
naturalization ;" yet tho editor of the
Hfeip Citizen makes me fb sny'tliat the
nathralizwl colored citizen is a citizen
of tlio United States frolii his birth.
In closing let me say that it is my
opinion that índice eltizmiHmp is inhe-
rent to the soil, iuiil cannot be divest-
ed by any act of legislation occurring

" It is • easy for an absoluto power to
trample tho rights of the people while
the theory of a government remains un-
altered. .lust so ir was easy for an un-
just power in the United States to strip
a class of people of their tights by en-
slaving them, while the theory ot a
republican govennont remained unal-
tered. Vet if tho editor of tho Xew
Citizen and his fellow natural-hovn citi-
zensaccede to the doctriuo that fhey

complete definition of a citizen in tho
light of tho tpU'i?Wmdonco 0f govern

every citizen is not a voter; thereby

personal right of interiunmnge be-

going to foreign land. But some sny,
how is it with slaves? CanslilVes lie

Htitational; therefore, it divested its sub-
jects, rather victims, of none of their
constitutional rights. Does the editor
of tho Xeir Citizen* doubt this
In the establishment of government
all persons are divided primarily into
citizens and aliens. But tlm editor of
