Tiie Texas Election—An
broglio.
An Anstin correspondent of the Nash
ville Union reports that the election re
turns already received at the capital
showed a Democratic majority of 39,000,
and it was supposed that the ultimate
majority would not fall short of 50,000.
But it was very seriously questioned
from the salutary example which
sought to be ma le.
Moreover, the blasphem jus and hypo

days to the level of Butler and his co- j
workers is a melancholly spectacle and
mortifying. The telegraph informed us
that his speech was digressive. We think
the whole effort a digression, indicative
of a decline in what was once a master
mind. They state that Beast Butler, at
the close of his “great effort,” warmlv
congratulated him—and was the first to
do so. This was from the proper quar
ter, and by the proper person, for if we
mistake not the character of the honor of
the South, he will never find congratula
tions among the people thus lowered.

A Colorado paper has this graphic
description of a recent game of poker
played in one of tho mining towns of that
Territory : “Mr. Graves held a 'king

the stakes, whereupon Grave* drew a
sir-shooter and reckoned hi* hand was

aces with a bowie-knife.. There was
enough in tho ’pot’ to purchase two
handsome coffins.”

ministration in Washington and be suc

The Constitution of the State of Texas,
in article 3, section 6, reads as follows:
“All elections for State, district and
eonnty officers, shall be held at the county
■cat* of the several counties, until other
wise provided by law; and the poIU shall
be opened for four days, from 8 o’clock*,
it. until 4 o’clock p. ar., of each day.” Tho
Legislature, at its last session, authorized
several voting places in each county and
limited the time of voting to a single day.
Tho Republican party now take the
ground that the words “provided by law,”
in the above section, refer only to the
place of voting, and did not give the
power to shorten the time.
Again, there is a quarrel about the ex
piration of Dari.:’ term. Tho Constitu
tion provides that tho Governor shall be
.Wcted ror four years, and the term of
his service commence from the date of
his election. Davis was elected in the
fall of 1869, but the constitution was not
or.vpted l»y Congress until April, 1870,
and Davis consequently claims four years
from the latter date. But the last Log-
idalure fixed the time of meeting of tbe
General Assembly on the second Friday
in January, and provided that the Gov
ernor-elect should be inaugurated on the
Thursday following. Upon these dis
crepancies it is apprehended that Dav>3

A Painful Scene iu the House.
Under this very appropriate head, the
"Washington correspondent of tho Peters
burg News makes the following humili
ating statement:
■Washington, December 19.—One of
the most striking and painfnl scenes oc
curred to-day in the House of Repre
sentatives. Butler, Lawrence, of Ohio,
and the negro Rainey, of South Carolina,
had finished their speeches for the civil
rights bill. There was then a long pamo
and no one from the South soemed ready
nr .i»i. t. —2—i—ir t — fas—Messrs. Ste
phens and Lamar both being too unwell;
and the rest of tho Southern members
not 1 laving a word to say, Mr. Beck, of
Kentucky, took the floor, though com
paratively unprepared by reason of his
laborious duties on other questions, and
made an -able and exhaustive argument
against the bill. But for this the case
would have gone by.
We are glad Mr. Stephens did not
speak on this question, if he was correctly
reported by • the negro delegation who
paid him a vLit on Tuesday. He . pro-,
fesses to be opposed to the social equality
bill, on the score of its unconstitution
al i ty alone—contemptuously ignoring and
rebuking all those high and honorable in
stincts of race, culture, and human nature
itself, that weld together true men every
where in hot indignation and loathing
against the infamous-scheme to first de
grade, and then mongrelize tho people of
the South. The people of Georgia are
not anxious to hear from Mr. Stephens
on tliis monstrous iniquity if he professes
to discuss it solely from the stand point
of constitutionality. They neither un
derstand nor appreciate such considera
tion for tho feelings of the knaves and
fanatics who are seeking their degrada
tion.
Let Mr. Stephens speak os a white
man—a Georgian—on the meanness and
malignity of the scheme, and they will
be better satisfied. They oppose it on
other and more natural grounds than its
unconstitutionality. The Almighty has
planted in their breasts instincts that
are stronger and holier than any that
grow out of such such considerations as
that. Let Mr. Stephens speak from that
standpoint—let him give utterance to
the voice of nature and nature’s God as
beard and understood by his fellow-citi
zens at the South, and then, if he likes,
go through the farce of invoking the
constitution to restrain a Radical Con
gress from violating its provisions.
Washington informs that paper that th
Secretary of the Senate is busily engaged
in resurrecting from the records all the
instances of back pay grubbing by Con
gress since the formation of the govern
ment. and which met with executive ap
proval. It appears that there have been

The LaGrange Reporter has compiled
the following “ Journalistic Catechism ”
—adapted especially to the latitude of
Atlanta and Griffin:
Q. What is journalistic logic ?
A. Abuse of the failings or personal
peculiarities of m brother editor.
Q. What is argument ?
A. Angry retorts and insulting person
alities when another editor does not agree
with you.
Q. What is wit ?
A. Ridicule of an editor who has not
the ability or the opportunity to defend
himself.
Q. What is courtesy ?
A. Praise of an editor who praises you,
and denunciation of one who happens to
entertain views different from your*.
Q. "What is enterprise ?
A. Blowing one’s own horn; loudly
and persistently asserting that youra is
tho best paper and has tho largest circu
lation; decrying cotemporaries; spend
ing money on magnificent chromos and
splendid stationery packages, which
ought to be spent on filling the columns
of the paper.
Q. What is a Sunday edition ?
A. An extra sized sheet filled priori,
pally with letters purporting to come
from enthusiastic subscribers, renewing
their subscriptions.

rollowing from tho Monroe Advertiser:

fifteen hundred tar fi. Ms., and will be

have been Issued principally against ne
groes for their poll tax, but a small
amount of which will be realized.
Important Cask.—The Supreme Court
rendered a decision last week, which was
carried up from Savannah, in which our
fellow-townsman, G. L. Mi (ledge, was
largely interested. It appears that Mr.
Milledge's grandfather, by will, gave
in trust valuable lots ip the city of Sa
vannah. The trustee, without author
ity, and during the minority of Mr. Gaz.
Milledge, sold these lota and appropria
ted the money to his own private uses.
On Mr. Milledge obtaining majority he
brought an action of ejectment against
one of the parties. The Supreme Court
decided the principles involved in Mr.
Milledge’s favor, by which he will come
into possession of some thirty thousand
dollars.
