In the d:scussioii of the sub-treasury icleu.c, between Governor Tilltnan and Nation il Lecturer Ilea Terrell, it is very evident to us that the Governor did not mako any converts to his way of thinking. S. inc excellent resolutions were passed, and among them was one exactly on the same line as those passed by the Duck Pond sab-Alliance, published in the Timks two weeks ago, proposing to reduce the cotton planting acreage, and asking the cooperation of all the planters, Allinuccuien and nonAlliancemen, white and colored, in the cotton growing Slates.

Wc thought we knew Mr. Jefferics too well to think lie would utter such inflninatory scntimeu's, and wo ate truly pleased to be able to correct the wrong impression it certainly made upon the uiiods of many, by giving the following more rationnl utterances, in a lecture delivered by hiin at Orangeburg last week : ' The time is near at band when republican form of Government in the United States may cease, but tho people of our country are arising and there is elill some hope. The oppression by money power will be made to stop. America will have no such a revolution as the one of France. We Americans have arisen to a higher stage.

The farmors Alliance arc kickiug up c biggest racket. lis membership latgely ?ko up the doinocratio party, henoe tho jn-AUianco democrats are somewhat armed at the attitude of the Allianoe, whiie ie republicans aro wa'ching tjuietly for a ixnco to pouooe upon the State government ono wing of tho Aliiarmers Allian$o origlftaTO^R^MMMffll 10 here that the tirst breach in itiraneswiln iccur, if it has u it already occurred, which | rill iue*i'ably destroy the order, in ihe lost all elections the democratic merabors of the Vlliance voted solidly together, and it is exrcioely doubtful if they would do so at this uncture, for it is a common thing now to sear democratic members of the Alliance lenounco officials whom they helped to ilcci less than a year ago; aud what docs ibis mean ? It certainly moans a defection in democratic Alliance ranks. It is reasonable to suppose that the cause is attributable to the poliiical sohomcrs of the Stale, rather than any lack of the faithful performance ot their duties of such officials as aro being denounced. This is the only conclusion ouo can arrive at. Gov. J as. S. Hogg, who rode into office upon the stiff political breeze which passed through the farming elements of Texas last year, is the principal target at which most of the hot shot from this same element of voters fly. Mr. llogg has made Toxas a good Governor. So far, he has performed his duties fa'thful'y. Those who are disap"prnutwx YB OviT. n^mitiUlMltou, of oourse, expected too much from it. He has been true to his friends; I don't mean the farmers who worked so bard to elect him, but his o'der fiends; somo of them who grew up with and near hiin in boyhood ; but ho bus had the laws of the State executed as impartially as any Governor over did. At all events, he is bccomiog very unpopulni with a ceitaiu class throughout the cnlire State 1 ara sure the class referred to, however, have no real cause for disliking him, but it is believed by mnay that those who i e so much displeased with his aduiinistra tion have been influenced by morceunries of the people, and n .t friends of the people, as they pretend to be. It is a lamentable fact, but a fact neverllie less, that many of our good people are bcuif misled by tlicc sub-treasury schemers, whi no doubt are instilling erroneous ideas int-; the minds of many good men in the demo clitic party, gome of whom will doubtlesi be led astray nnd will not realize it, porhaps until it is too late for them to correct lli< error of their ways before the elections ii 1892.
