On motion L. W. Cato was called lo tlio Chair anil J. F. David
appointed Secretary'.
Tlio object of llic meeting was explained by the- chairman.
The lion. Ii. V. Mocker then ottered series of resolutions upon
which bo made same suitable remarks in which Me.srs. Evans Bat-
tie and Davis participated.
On motion the resolutions were submitted to a committee of five
to wit: Messrs. Erath Buruey Suott Battle and Nowliu.
The committee reported the following resolutions in lieu of those
offcred by Mr. Blocker :
. That it is the opinion of this meeting that a general Conven-
tion of the people or their delegates of this Senatorial District
should meet in the town of Bolton as the most suitable place for the
purpose of taking into Consideration the nomination of n -candidate
for this Senatorial District uud a candidate for this repre-entative
"district composed of the counties ofBell and McLennan; hud that
the attendance Of the mass of the population of said counties is ru-
qudsted; and that eight -delegates from each county be appointed ;
Y1' Uivcr Appropriations.
''" Otir rrjadorswill recollect that tho last Legislature mtido uii
jippi;6pr'iaton of HlfiOO (loJlara-to ench the Trinity Colorado
and firnzps rivers ; 20000 dollars lo the Angelina and Neehue
each also liberal appropriations to other sti earns making a
sum total of about 00000 dollars. lloforo theso'nmounts can
be appropriated to the res)ectivq stroafns designated tho law
must be sanctioned-by a vote of tho peoplo we suppose at tho
next August election. Tho people of the Trinity vulloy are
deeply interested in this matter mid so undoubtedly arc those
living in the valley's and contiguous to tho other rivers contem-
plated in the appropriation. The growing products and busi-
ness of the Stato demand increased and better carrying facili-
ties the present being' wholly inadequate to supply tho wants
and convenience of her present population. It is a fact (no
one doubts it) that our State is at present lamentably deficient
in carrying facilities. This defect can only bo remedied by
the improvement of our rivers or the construction of railroads ;
or by both in conjunction. In which enterprise building rail-
roads or improving rivers will tho same number of dollars
effect the greatest general good? This isa quest-ion of inter-

It U said there aro 2000 Cuban youths in the soUoole of tho U. States.
his voto for ol against rivor appro
priations. We shall not attempt in this article lo discuss the
question. V e only wish to arouse the public mind to its. im-
portance and the iact that the )c6p-0 ill soon bo called to
determine it at the ballot box. ' '
An economical and provident individual b'eforo lip invests
hjs money in any enterprise will deliberately set down and1
calculate frojn tho best possible data beibro him tlio profits'
that are likely to rpsult from stick investment lie will not
only calculate the profits likely to flow from any special invest
ment but he will examine tho whole field and see if there is
not sumo other channel in which ho can invest his money to a
greater profit. After ho has made this preliminary examina-
tion ho is then prepared tu act knowingly and with as much
assurance of .suocess-as human furesitrht and caution can bes
tow. This course not only marks the prudent and provident
man but it is equally characteristic of and necessary to a pros-
perous and prudent people. The people should never voto tho
money of the State away upon an uncertainty or on any
enterprise to the exclusion of others more conductive in their
nature to the general g&od.
One fact is self evident that it is a bootless waste of money
to expend it in the cleaning out of those streams that for once
or twice during tho year when tho country is flooded with
ram will admit or tno nscont ot a steamboat such naviga-
tion as this is too precarious to be of any permanent advantage
to Hie public generally and money devoted in attempt to im-
prove it will be that' much sunk. JtJut where a stream can bo
rendered permanently navigable or for a length of time suffi-
cient to carry off the surplus product of its valley and conti-
guous country by the removal of rafts shoals and other
impediments why then monoy can be expended in the remo-
val of these obstructions with general and beneficial results.
But it is idle to talk of rendering navigable every creek and
nun stream in nie quite. y xi is uie lowest nuinuer ot screams
in Texas that can' ever bo of any general advantage as far as
navigation is concerned. There is hundreds of them that for
two or three times out of the year and for two or three days at
it umu uie puriuc. .tjiisippis wiiu uiuumums ot water tor
whole ileets of seventy-fours. On such navigation as this the
larmcrs merchants and commercial men of the country can-
not depend. Steamboat owners will not attejnpt tho naviga-
tion of such streams or if they do attempt it it is in the absence
of employ elsewhere and under such circumstances their char
ges for transportation will alwavs be exorbitant.
While we are decided advocates for tho imirovcmen6 of
our rivers we are not willing to rush into this matter blindly.
Wcv are not prepared to squander thousands of dollars on it
stream unless we are satisfied that it will result in some per-
manent advantage. And whether money can bo appropriated
advantageously to the improvement of a stream can oniy be
ascertained by actual survey and examination of such stream.
What stream in Texas has had such examination ? The sum of
100000 dollars might be appropriated to a stream and result in
great advantage liile tho sum of 37000 dollars expended on
the same stream would bo worse than thrown away. The bar
at the moutb of tho Trinity tho next above aiid the neKt
might bo removed for 37000 dollars and easy navigation
opened for fifty miles in tho interior but what bdnefit would
flow from this to the people of tho Upper and Middle Trinity;
or how much would it improve tho general navigation of the
river? Hence it seems to us that economy requires that wo
should be for spending money on any stream ascertain first
whether it is susceptible of navigation provided all obstructions
were removed to a beneficial extent; second what are the
obstacles to navigation ; third what will bo tho probable cost
of removing these obstructions of Biich a nature that their par-
tial removal .would bo beneficial ? It is necessary that these
facts should be ascertained in order that tho people can act
understandingly in the premises and bo relieved from the
hazard of spending thousands from which no benefit can be
realized.
Under tho action of tho legislature no survey of our rivers
can bo had. Although wo are disposed to consider tho action
of the legislature open to the objection of haste and improvi-
dence wo aro disposed to think that if the appropriation is

The nc.t Legislature!
On .tho first; Monday in August noxt it will devolvo on1 Iho
sovereign people to elect anew sot of lawgivers. In viewof
this -fact it is. important that they should look around -and
select such men as will best represent their views in the councils
of the Stato. A large number of very important questions will
come before tho Legislature next winter and it i& of tho
utmost consequence to the' people of Texas that they "Bhould
be represented by men of marked ability sound sense correct
judgment and undoubted integrity men who aro prominent

a very respectable amount of talent and wo canseo no reason
why tho next should not be equally as able a body. One tli(ng
is apparent to the most casual observer if Texas ever did or
ever "will need statesmanship- in her legislative' lialls now -is
tho time.
The great and all absorbing question of Internal Improve-
ments must be disposed of next winter .oho way or tho other.
It must bo determined whether wo are to pursue a liberal' and
enlightened policj' calculated to foster the industry of tho peo-
ple and developo the resources of tho country ; or grope 'oiir
way in poverty ignorance and blindness for years and walce
up at last? to find that wo have buried our talents .slumbered
on pur privileges and have fallen greatly beliincTtiiQ ago in
which we live. ' ffi n
We fully believo that a largo majority of tho people of I'ox-
as are awako to the necessity of having tho means of getting
to market nearer within thoir reach tliau at present; but it is
impossible for them to have their wishes carried out unless
they send men to the legislature who take a proper view of tho
matter and will oboy faithfully tho iustructioifVof their consti-
tuents. j-1'
AVo wish it distinctly understood that this article is Jnpt
intended to cast any -reflections upon tho pas'fc legislature. ' Itjs
written for the future alone. Many of tno late members 'cfi'd
not consider themselves instructed. We trust that those olect-
ed next August will receive instructions al tho ballot box f that
they cannot misunderstand ; and if thero aro any candidates'
who would imitate tho policy of the follow who carried a rock

tion of it than the present one. Tho. object of the appropria-
tion is a noble and boneficial ono yet with the proper data
upon which to have founded it it liiitrlit have been distributed
among our different streams so as to have l)een productive of
much more general ueneiit than it can under present circum-
stances. Tlie amount appropriated to tho Trinity Brazos and
other streams can we have no doubt bo expended in their
improvement to great advantage ; while the benefits to result
from the expenditure on others designated in the act vo think
aro in the highest degreo dubious. So to vote against the law
you deny money to the improvement of those streams where
it will produce the most beneficial and happy results voto for
it and you appropriate money to oomo streams where its ap-
plication for good to say tho best is extremely doubtful Tho
legislature has presented tho people a dilemma either horn of
which is dubious. -Ohooso yo between them.
