Maj. jUcDonough, of Sabine Pass
started tuis week to Austin to work
in tho interests of the East Toxas
Road, to have tho time required |in
the Charter in which a certain num-
ber of miles should be constructed,
extended, so as to give tho new
company ample time to complete
the road.
Hon. J. G. Pmyth, of Jasper, is
here cn route for Austin.
Two flat I oats from Cherokee
county are just down.
7*he Str. Graham was here on
Wednesday and returned to tho
Pass. I hear she is going to Lou.
isana to run in tho Atchafalaya du-
ring tho summer. j
Political nows items aro rather
scarce. However, Congress is do-
ing some sensible things occasional-
ly, among others, the investigation
of the Howard Unive.sity and
Froedmens Bureau affair, promises
some rich developments in Radical
rascality in tho way of using public
money for private purposes, and al-
so in abusing the position of public
trust for political purposes. There
are sixteen charges of corruption
against General Howard, the Head
ol the Bureau.
At the late election in Connects
cut for Gevernor, Kx.Gov. English
was re-elected. Ho is a sterling
Democrat, one of tho leaders and
great, lights of the Northern De-
inoeracy. He accepted the situa-
tion as it is, takes it for settled,
that the 15th Amendment is an es-
tablished fact, and the newly enfran-
cliishod race should bo used to de-
feat the Radicals. Gov. English in
hia address remarked in referenco
to the 15th Amendment, "that he
considered that a settled inattor;
the amendment was ratified and
made part of the fundamental law
of the land, and no amount of op-
position was going to effect its
practical operation." * * * "Ho
thought the Democrats everywhere
should accept the result and profit
by it." There arc many indications
in the North that the Democratic
party will control the Freed mens
vote to a great extent. As they
uie now full fledged citizens with
all the political rights and privileg-
es of tho whites, it may bo well to
control his vote, for tho Democra-
tic party and tho good, not only of
the country, but for the better of
the freed men themselves. As they
arc frco citizens, tho better they are
• members of so.ciety, so much tho
nore will the country gain by thoir
improvement under tho control o1
the whites having an interest in tho
country, than if left to scalawags
or carpetibaggers or carpet-begga.is.
it is time tho Democratic Party of
Texas wore fully alive to this mat.
t i- and tho action to bo taken by
!lie- party, if auy at all, should bo
known or determined on. Tho
dining Editorial Convention may
be a i_'ood time for settling that
maitei.
On ii morrow, tho 26th tho Lc>
gishttnre will meet, to reconstruct
Ihc .Viato on the Radical plac.
Il'hat it may result in, tho future
.jloe.'i will show. Every paper in
tho Slain should uow bo keenly
.ilivu io the situation, keep the peo1
pic welt posted on all acts of the
government and Legislature in rc-
g'llil to tbt**futTMW.f fr>ll l>oln£ of tho-
Ptate. And overy man that has
any influence should seek to make
it felt.
I will try and keep the News-
