It is on outrage on the people of Texas that could have boon perpetrated by none but its enemies, and the eighteen Senators, especially those south of the thirty-second parallel, deserve to be hooted out of the State into Mexico or some hotter region. Their betrayal of the State lias been most dastardly.

The Age, commenting on the statement of the NEWS, that punishments inflicted by the regular tribunals, with the sanction of public opinion, arc far more efficacious for the suppression crime than any amount of severity in punishments inflicted by an excited populnce, says: The NEWS, now as heretofore, distinguished alike for its ability and conservatism, is one of the leading repre- sentuive journals of the South, and such ag-Uic nbovo nvo on- titled to candid consideration. But -i this matter the NEWS speaks rather a cording to its sincere wishes tusm ti cold, liquarc facts of the case. There no journal in the State that would mo: and armies as incapable, and demanded tlic miMiacrc of three-fourths of the memljcra of the convention and the of 270,000 "traitora." He procured the arrest and imprisonment of four hundred thounand "suspected" persons, instigated the mob of 3Iay HI, 1703, by which the Girondists were completely destroyed. At last, confined to Ijis filthy garret by a loathsome disease, lie continued to stir up Uic of the excited populace by Idlers and denunciations. It fell to the lot of a mere girl, shocked beyond endurance at bit ulroclticj, to end hta horrible career by the dagger, well knowing that her own life would pay the forfeit for ridding the world of such a monster.

It would be well if every one smarting under the evils caused by tlie criminal classes and the lax administration of the laws, could contemplate the hideous picture of the horrors of anarchy presented by -what is known as the French" Revolution, where the guilty and the innocent, and every age and sex, were confounded in the general ruin, and the foundations of society received shocks and injuries that have not yet been repaired. The San A.aloitio"Ezprcia docs not believe in dismissing a tried, faithful and efficient public servant to make place for anew man: The Galveston NEWS of Saturday last haiiiiYCTy able and judicious article in behalf oUlie're-eJection, Hon.

That paper con- cludcs that Judge Hancock is the man, and so docs everybody else except aspirants for his scat and their friends. We sny now, as -we said two years ago, that we hope the Republicans of that District will not run a- 'candidate against Judge Hancock in case he is nominated by his own party. Neither party can do better than lo'support-him. He'isa Democrat, but he wasaUuion man, and J9 now the most national statesman in Texas.

The Democrats need him, and the Republicans trust His position is one Of great usefulness. jsly uphold the regularly const tuted authorities, or give them a mor hearty and cheerful support, than th Aye, Law and order are its motto law, order, peace, safely to life property, are all it demands; it woul transform the predominance of orim and murder in this State to a paradise where- the lion and the lamb might li down together. Th Juries of Texas are, so far as murde 13 concerned, a sham and a fraud Hence the NEWS car not blame an outraged people tortakin; the matter into their own haurls ani stringing up to tlie limbs of the fores every murderous scoundrel who take the life of his fellow. It will be remembered that the Ag warned judges, distriet attorneys and juries that the people were about to take the law into their own hands, an that officers and juries must not inter pose under the penalty of being hung themselves. The Waco Examiner re marked: The Houston Age.

is an out and put advocate of lynch luw. This is all wrong, fearfully wrong, we believe. One kind of murder can never be made to justify another. The Age is wrong in its judgment of the first causes of crime, and terribly wrong in regard to the remedy it would apply. The Aye responds: There is no use arguing about the causes of murder.

It is the remedy we want, and the only remedy is the rope. The indications from late hanging are that the people intend to apply it The disease has assumed a violent type, and justifies violent measures. The good citizens of various counties arc getting ready to put down murder. In Wilson and surrounding counties, minute men have been organized Also io. a county not a great way from Me- They arc secret ai the tomb but mean business.

The reipn of murder and assassination in this State must close. Either that or blood I If the Examiner "rows faint and trembles: if he is afraid of his own shadow, let him step out of the ranks to the rear. The Age will lead the assault and head the charge. Docs the Age set itself up as a pioa and leader of organized mob law and TVho would wish to live in a community where it was ncccs gary to institute the terrorism of bodies of men whose operations "arc as sccrel as the tomb, but mean business," where "the only remedy is the rope," and people arc spirited away and hung witbout their families and neighbors knowing the reason why?

General Chivalry. The NEWS has already noted from General Cuetcr'u own writings hu professions of friendship for his old Wot Point associate, Rosacr, from. The Alexandria (Va.) Kentinet relates a circumstance connected wilh that and severe campaign which, commencing on the Upper Rapidan in the spring of 1664, stretched out in one long, sweeping buttle field around through jungles of the wildemow, the slashes of Hanover, the pines of the peninsula and the Dinwiddic forests, up to the Amelia, Farmyille and Appomattox.

When active movement. 1 commenced in Slay, 1804, and Grant had commenced his swing to the left, Lee facing him in a parallel arc, with ILich- mond as the object of uncovering to one, and of protecting to the oilier, the first few days were signalized by some of the closest cavalry tights of the war. Grant's cavalry had been thoroughly reorganized, and under Sheridan, with such lieutenants Custcr, Torbert and Wilson, wns a formidable body. The Confederate cavalry, loo, was in the flower of its strength and confidence. "Each was feeling for the enemy's lines in the dense forests of Spotsylvania, and frequently sudden encounters were the result.

In one of these a regiment of Rosser's command became suddenly engaged with a portion of that of Custer, at very close quarters, necessitating a charge through narrow, open space up to the edge of a wood in which Cuntcr's men were posted, and from partly protected by a fence, they delivered a (lentnictive flre, which with their visible knowledge of the 's superior position and. strength, made the Virginians falter. Rosscr, as was his wont, dashed into the open field to rally them. Of commanding and striking figure, lie did not dream that over that line of Joes, directing and controlling their fire, flashed an eye of Mars to command, but impressive as a woman's to the claims of friendship, and which, even in the moment of bloody strife, recognizing him as an old friend of West Point was beaming upon him in kindness and love. There was many a horseman who wondered that day why the enemy's fire to suddenly when Hosscr, the usclessness of a further attack, withdrew his men.

But the next day, as they kept movin by the flank, following the federal cav MTATK in theirown way? Whenever an editor utters snch sentiments as tne Aye Las lately indulged in, one naturally thinks of the French journalist, who contributed so much toward the horrors of the Rci-n of Terror. Without to describe the hideous and personal characteristics whkh arc nttribM ted to him, "the stWgc mixture of the ludicrous and terrible," or intend- ir.g to make them o. part of the com- panson, one can bui; think of Ms claim to the title of "Pric.id of the People," while he proclaimed that eight hundred members of the Assembly ought to be tanged; the violent sccncs.hc causeri is the club of the Cordelicrsfliis proscrip- tioc of the Girondists; his part in' tlic riots of 1792 in place at -tlia right Land cf Danton, in the vigilance committee, in the September massacres and other atrocities; his speeches in the Rational Assembly, received with feelings of abhorrence and contempt. papir dcnouuced tie French generals CASE has been made out against Secretary Robeson that almost parallels renders impeachment a mere question of time. The Chicago Times has this of tbe affair: During this winter's investigation it was ehbwn that W.

J. Murtagh, editor and proprietor of Grant's kitchen organ, had gotten a crooked claim through Robeson's department shortly before the latter married. This claim was for $30,000. It was allowed at $20,000, and half of this sum was paid Murtngh as a fee for liis services. He in turn made Mrs.

Robeson a wedding present of diamonds valued it $5000, showing a clear division of his with Murtagh, when jrought before the committee, denied that he hud made any such a valuable )resent. Afterward the committee discovered Murtngh's check for $5000 mid to the jeweler who furnished Mrs. Robeson the diamonds. Murtagh, when confronted with his check, had to admit its correctness. This is one of the trongcst of the cases presented bv Whittiiorne.

There will be no trouble tbout finding plenty of. material for impeachment when tlie time conies. It is thought that if his trial is Icfoi'rcd until after the election he will ic more certain of punishment. TirE new system of sending local mcs- iges by means of pneumatic tubes has ust been put in operation by the West- rn Union Telegraph Company in New 'ork. The tubes arc made of brass, nd are 2i inches in diameter.

At pros- it there are four lutes in operation, he message is incased in a sole-leaiher ibe, covered with felting, about six iches long, like an ordinary leather but with a broader flange Iting at one end, which fits tiglit in te brass tube. The other end is open the reception of the rolled-up mes- gc, save that a broad elastic band olds the contents in place. Each tube be made at will cither a receiving or sending tube. Each lias two valves regulated by. by.means of which the air is either turned on or exhausted.

The time of the transmission of a message is seconds. The engine in use is a tlurty-liorsc pow- airy and the line ot the "swing," a farmer whose house thcyp.issed, handed a Confederate trooper a note addressed to Gen. L. Bosser, which had been left with him by a Federal officer. The note was delivered as addressed, and read somewhat thus: name used was the old familiar nickname of West Point, not now remembered by the You expose yourself too much on the field, old fellow.

P. whipped Lee on Wednesday, and intend to give you a good dressing the first chance I get in a fair field. As Rosser rode along, at the bead of his column of bold riders in gray, his dark-face lighted up with a pleasant smile as he read the letter, and he broke into a hearty laugh when he reached the postscript, remarking a Fanny (the nickname given Custer by his comrades for his fair complexion and waving blonde hair) "always was a good follow, but a little too'fond of-brag- ing. Yet he came near making good his intention a short time after, when he made a gallant dash through Rosser's line at Trcvillian's station, and impressed the Confederate boys with the belief tliat he was the most spirited leader of their enemies.

This very same and identical Howard was a denizen of Palestine in or about the year 1873, and, we believe, held at one time the appointment of District Attorney for this Judicial District over the signature of Edmund J. Davis. Owing, however, to tlie manner in which the mystic Radical Krcw put up jobs, he never appeared to our knowledge in that eapircity. Judge Scott, now deceased, was then presiding judge of this district. Some time after Howard put in an appearance here, it seems lie got into trouble and came very suddenly to grief; in other words he was charged by motion duly filed, and which was considered at the spring term of our District Court for 1S78, of "fraudulent and disreputable conduct unbecoming an attorney at law," and uoon this charge was tried by a jury of h'is -peers.

Their finding was that of "guilty." The of the court reads as follows: "It is therefore considered, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the court that the license of said "(V. H. Howard be revoked, and that the name of W. H. Howard be stricken from the roll of attorneys at this bar, and that he shall not hereafter be permitted to practice as an attorney in any court in this State." "Whether Mr.

Howard, the new "Surveyor General of Washington Territory," is a citizen of Texas is a matter of very little concern to us, He does not belong to this section. The proceedings to which w'e here alluded were all continued to the next term, which is held on the third Monday in September next.

Milton, who came to town him, was the guilty man. Bi.i stixcment was that he and iiix comin had slept together in Collins- rille OB Thursday night, and when hc.go; up next mornjng Tic found that he Hal been' robbed. Upon informing liis ccuain of that fact, the latter said that he had also been robbed during the night, and didn't have a cent left. Upon th is statement Mr.

McCarthy began to follow the suspected thief around the and saw him go into a saloon, get a drink, and pull out a flre dollar bill to pay for it. He was followed to several places and finally arrested by Mr. McCarthy down on the railroad. No oilier money was found on his person. He ia now in jail There was an unpleasantness in Denison Thursday evening last which resulted in the arrest of Burson, of the Cresset, nnd Murray, of the 2fcios.

We get the following statement concerning it from an eye-witness: Mr. Eurson had been arrested by Policeman Mitchell for some oHense, and while that officer had him in. charge, Burson made- some remark which made the policeman angry, and he struck him, Burson struck back at once, land Mitchell jerk-. ed out liis pistol, -but as several bystanders jerked out theirs also and invited him to put his own weapon back, he promptly The difficulty ended here, und Burson gave bond for his appearance before the mayor to-day. 'Justhow Murray managed to get arrested we can't see, bet our informant states that he was.

The Denison papers have barely referred to this rather lively affair, and 03 the item was a remarkably fat and well developed one, we can't understand how they managed to overlook it. The -ZVews and Cresset are both making a strong fight against the city administration in. Denison, and there were doubtless bad feelings between the papers and police before the occurred The Denison News prints the following: A man named Carlton came from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Sherman, Texas, last fall or winter, leaving his wife and children in his home In Mjelu'gan.

The lost time we saw him was at Houston, in May, 1874. He then leclared himself an uncompromising Democrat, but we suppose that since hen he has again been seduced from the paths of virtue, rectitude and honor.

The Rural Police aforesaid then and there arrested three men.

I did not see any American citizen arrest any of these men nor anybody else there. I did not see any one cross the river. This is all I saw or know about this arrest. In justice to myself, I wish 'to say that Mr. Rock, nor any one else, explained to me or told me where we were going to, or what we were going to do on leaving Brownsville.

I was awakened frdm mj sleep and told, Henry, come out, go along with us."
