Speaking of the contested election
«Mcfrom this (the ldtb) District, the
State Journal says:
Allen's majority over Cooke was
198; Michael's over Schmidt was 226;
Anderson's majority over Lipscomb
was 231. To explain away these ma-
jorities, charges are made that the
•taction was unfairly conducted;
tiiat the innocent and an wary De
asocracy was not voted by the sharp
gritted Republicans. The troth is.
and it might as well be admitted, that
Una contest was instituted as part of
Ifce revolutionary programme involve
lac the capture of the Senate. The
action of the House was to accord
with the action of the Senate. Ic
would not do to turn Tracy out and
leave the Representatives from the
cuu District seated, and the turning
est of the Representatives would aid
tbe case of Stewart in the Sonate,
These are the utterances of a Rad-
ical, whose constant aim is to bellow
fat -party always and under all cir-
camstances. It is really amusiqg to
vmb bow he places tbe Radicals against
tbe Democrats, when it is remember-
ed that the Radical Legislature put
Karris and Montgomery countlea to
getter, believing they bad a major"
Ity in tbe two, and required us to
elect three Representatives and one
Seoatoj>irom the two, so that they
all have resided in either one
' cf the counties.
A to the Senate we are very
. gravely apprehensive that Colonel
' Tracy will be kept in his seat, and
{feat, too, by the votes of those who
data to be Democrats, and we would
JBO& be at all surprised if his vote
should be tbe very same as in the
Tesdick case.
Democrats wiU not pattern after
t3be Radicals by a " revolutionary
programme.?' They have allowed in*
^estfgation and the largest latitude
1st defence by sitting members whose
wats have been contested, and have
consumed much time in arriving at
Sbe justice of each case. The Radir
c&l Legislature never allowed a Demi*
whose seat was contested to
i his place for over two months,
"$8 per day, but Democrats have
act only ddneso, but have required
positive evidence to justify their de-
cisions, and aa far as they have de-
cided tbey can appeal to an impartial
world to read tbe evidence and bus*
tain them. And no carping, uncan"
. did, partisan criticism can ever make
isionate men of any party con«
their action. x
What would tbe Sherman Patriot
nd Fort Worth Democrat think of
be Trans-Continental Railroad Com"
if it should turn out that the
casabined company to which they be-
2fng claim sixteen sections of land to
tic mile under one 6f the previous
now combined in wbat is
as tbe Southern Pacific, and.
in addition, claim $10,000 or
more sections per mile ?
time be extended until this
' is made plain and specific 1
An effort is on foot to procure of
^be Texas Legislature an extension
«f time in which to build the Trans*
Continental Railroad. It is a sulci*
to grant heavy sabcidies
companies aod give them
indefinite period id which to eon-
the road. - Had it not been for
> extensions of time, Texas would
have now more than' twice her pres
cat number of miles of road, and been
farther advanced in prosperity. Let

stats
We take the following from air e$a
itorial in the Gonzales Enquirer :
The officers and directors are me&f
of energy, weaLtn and taste, and un-
der their ausptces the Fourth State
Fair promises complete success. It
cannot be denied that the want of
liberal and reasonable accommoda-
tions in the city, for the great mass of
people which flocked to Houston last
May to attend the Fair was the cause
of much dissatisfaction, and will have
a tendency to decrease the attendance.
There was no blame attached to the
directory, for matters on the Fair
Grounds were conducted with the
greatest propriety, and the display
made there was certainly a cred>t to
the State as well as the officers and
exhibitors; and there is no question
of the wide spread usefulness which
results from the encouragement given
by this association to the various in*
dustries of our State. It is neverthe-
less true that the expenditure of
means, labor and energy will fail of
its full reward, unless a spirit of hos*>
pitality on the part of the residents
of the city can be sufficiently awaki
ened to make them pay some atten-
tion to tbe comfort of those strangers
who accept the widely circulated in*
vitations of the city press, to be
present on such occasions.
We are led to make these few plain
remarks from the fact that we greatly
desire to see the State Fair result, in
that fall measure of success which it
so fully deserves. We hope to meet
with.-the popular and gentlemanly
Secretary, James F. Duxnble. on the
Fair Grounds next May.
We are glad that the Enquirer has
made these remarks, as they affojrd us
an opportunity for comment.
< At the last State Fair we had reg<
istercd at our offiee, persons who of<
fered to accommodate at least one
hundred and fiftyfpersons more than
they had. Several weeks before the
Fair, we urged all who would take
boarders, to register their names at
our office, and it resulted in a goodly
number who opened j their houses to
aid the Fair. We also gave notice to
visitors to call and find where they
could be accommodated.- Many did
call, and soon all of the places near
est in convenience were filled. The
sentiment was, I wieh a placefhear
the Fair Grounds and the business
part of the city. The hotels were
full, and many endured tha inconve-
nience of a crowd, rather th n take
places at a distance which did not sait
tbem. The hotels did their very best
to make all comfortable, but the
crowds were greater than they could
make comfortable by giving all rooms.
We are satisfied that a thousand
persons could have found comforta-
ble homes, in the suburbs, if they
would have taken them.
But we approve the suggestions of
the Enquirer as to tbe importance of
Houston providing for the comfort of
the visitors to the State Fair. Their
number will be greater than at' any
previous Fair, and steps should be
taken to accommodate them. Every
citizen, who possibly can, should ac-
commodate visitors, for our hotels
will have more applications than they
can accommodate, and tbe fact that
boarding-bo a se accommodations have
increased since last year, will not be
sufficient to accommodate the great
crowd that will, be here. Hence our
citizens intend to beBtir themselves
and help in this laudable enterprise.
Already we hear of a number who
to give the visitors homes, will accom-
modate all they can, and we respect*
fully urge all who have room, to do
so.

Party Rancor. —It seems impos-
sible for the Radical Press of Texas
to do justice to the Democratic ma-
jority in our Legislature, but they
have plenty of praise for tbe Dem-
ocratic members, who have voted
against their party on the Radical
side. To tbem they sing h^mna of
praise, and when the Democrats
shall yet vote to retain Radicals in
their seats against law and evi-
dence, tbey almost deify them, as
tbey have done in similar cases of
tbe past.
It will be a matter of surprise to
us if Judge C. olwell should accept

We can hardly imagine that a

from communication with the world.

Patriot, a Republican paper, says,

can of Houston, got $500 paid him

neered under our very noses,
following is & Washington special
to the St^jjaouis 6Hpbe::
Secretary Delano addressed a
letter to-day to Governor Davie, of
Texas, stating that es a promise of
pardon was conditionally given the
Kiowas and Apaches in the interest
of Santanta and Lone Wolf, (?) the
Kiowa chiefs now serving a term
of imprisonment in the Texas peni-
tentiary, for murder committed by
them, nd as tbe conditions pre-
scribed had been fulfilled by thbse
tribes, the President authorizes ihe
Secretary of the Interior to say to
Governor Davie that.be will be glad
tQ see the chiefs named pardoned,
the same to take effect from the Six-
teenth of April.
It eeems tba* notwithstanding the
very earnest and decided protests
of the press $f Texas against t|e
liberation of (^murderous savages
now confined in the TexaiB peniten-
tiary, that they are nevertheless to
t" * £
be soon enlarged, and set free to
depredate upon the settlements of
our distant frontier aa of yore.
Imprisoned by the hand of a civiliz-
ation whose philosophy of punish^
meat tbey utterly fail to compre-
hend, th^y promise to go forth fioni
the walls of the State prison finder
an edict from tbe President, issued
in: pursuance of a policy which
every mas acquainted with the true
situation here knows to be impracti-
cable (Aid fatal to tbe ends sought
to be. attained. No* chaplain's
certificate attest their reformat
tion, or that change of file
purpose whlfthrecommendtftO mercy
and1'pardon. Brutes they entered
their cells, and brutes will they
emerge from them, having learned
from tbe pale faces only this lesson
that we have a wigwam whoie walls
tbey cannot break through, whose
iron 'doors defy escape, and Where
hard toil is tbe sequence to th^ IobS
of personal freedom. This les-
son will have its effect, but not ^hat
effect which we would wish. If 'set
free, the walls of a penitentiary
never again close around
dueky forms of Santanta and Big
Tree, nor will these wards of the
nation fail to return to the war
path. Desperatioa will fire them
in future conflicts with the whiter
and their death may, but their capture
never will again occur. As the voice
of the peoplenBeemS to have no effect
upon our military President or his
lieutenants, we confidently expect
that before another moon these sava-
ges will again lie roaming their native
heather. We tfarn our reeking;
frontier of their early advent, and be
prepared for an increased display of
ferocity, for well they know that the"
Indian assimilates nothing but evli
from association with the whites.
Wbile we say this much we will here
enter, on behalf of Texas, a solemn
protest against this measure of the
Administration as hurtful to Texas
aod tending to aggravate tbe evils it
essays to cure And bad we tbe ear
of Governor Davis we would remind
him of the universal sentiment of
Texas against tbe liberation of theee
savages, the insecurity that would be
felt if they were at large, tbe treachery
of the savage whieb never brooks tbe
tbe restraint of a pledge and tbe otter
failure of clemency to stay tbe toma-
hawk and scalping knife and ask him
in the light of these facts and of his
own experience as a Texan to withold
his executive authority invoked for
tbe liberation of Santanta and Big
Tree, leaving them. to. a merited fate
and tbe frontier to its measure of
repose. „

We learn from onr exchangee
that the late frost did considerable
damage to the fruit crop of Texas
along the line of latitude of Austin,
Above and below this line the dam-
age to crops decreases in the ratio of
distance, South of tbe line the cold
was not eo severe, and north of it
vegitation was not so far advanced as
to be liable to great damage. We
believe that the frnit crop of tbe
State will be fair, notwithstanding the
laite loss, if there is no more severe
weather. .
The Dallas News, an enterprising

bling. as Colonel J D. Elliott, the
President of the Association, will not
admit the authority of its prior noini
nation at Austin, as the most accessit
ble place. Colonel Elliott, as is gen-
erally known, named Houston as the
place and the occasion of th$ State

that the News will be represented in
the convention here and give us the
benefits of a f arther discussion of its

to say, that: the passage of this act

The Galveston News of the 14th
inst., says editorially :
The Austin Statesman is informed
that the effect ^of the creation of tbe
new county of Hempstead will be to
throw two counties into the hands of
tbe Ridtaals. Tbe new county would
take about one hhndred and fifty of
the Democratic voters ' of Harris
county, who would be thus given over
irretrievably to Radicalism, while tbe
number is insufficient to save tbe new
county from the same wretched fate.
This was two days before we bad
said a word about the matter, and yet
on the 25th inst. the News Bays t
j We would assure our Hempstead
correspondent that it was the furth-
est from our purpose to declare
against the formation of a new coun-
ty, on tbe inherent merits of the quee>
tion. Our indorsement of tbe Tblk-
gbaph was Bimply on the hypothesis
that tbe Telegraph was correct in
tbe statement tbat the effect would
be to increase the strength of the
Radicals. Of tbi?, however, we really
know nothing, and hope ^be fears of
the Telegraph are uofotrnded.
The .flews should have remember-
ed i s record better Unou this question
than to shelter itself in such a man-
ner. V
But our information accorded with
that cf the News, and we made the
same statement in effeet- "
Tae Hemps kead reporter denies that
it will take eo many voters from Har-
ris county, or make the new county
Radical, and others deny it also, but
those in whosejudgment we put con-
fidence agree with tbe statements
made by tbe News and Telegraph.
We are informed further that tbe
citizens of Harris county within toe
limits proposed to be cut off do not
wish to form a part of the new conn
tj, and tbe balance of this county do
not wish to give tbem or any of their
territory op, and upon these grounds
alooe, the Legislature should see to it
that no part of Harris county is taken
from it.

fanity indulged in, on their arrival

It is astonishing how much ioge-
nuity has been expended for tbe
# ngle purpose of making conduc-
tors honest. And now an English-
man has come forward with a device
whereby the number of passengers
in an o*" .bus or street car will be
indicated by an automatic register.
A spring is placed on the step, and
when this is pressed upon, as oy the
weight of a person entering the
car, it moves tbe index upon the
face of a dial, which ia kept in a
bcked box inaccessible to the con«
dnctor. As each passenger is thus
registered twice, once in getting in
and once in getting out, tbe num
fcer on tbe dial divided by two
\ onld be the number of passengers '
f< r whose fares the conductor should
account. Such a contrivance is
e aough to make a conductor resign*
who had aoy esprit de clrps in his '
bosom.
