Satrap Sheridan has removed J. M. Throckmorton, the legally elected Governor of Texas and has appointed in his stead E. M. Pease. The telegram of the associated press announces that Pease was appointed at the suggestion of that miserable political mendicant, and disreputable criminal, A. J. Hamilton. The people of Texas will henceforth be completely at the mercy of one of the most despicable scoundrels who remains unhung or outside of the penitentiary. Such is American freedom under the rule of a usurping Rump Congress.
