The West has an immense stock
bill in both Houses; all tho Eastern
and Northorn counties havo been
oxemptod in the House, but strange
to say, the Senators from tho North
and East permitted their counties
to remain in the hill, only leaving it
optionary with the county
court to enforce the law. Our idea
to frame their own oonstitu-
! all because they failod to call

defeated ontiroly. Thoso things all
argue the inevitable result, which
wo havo so often pointed out—the
div ision of tho Stalo, and tho sooner
it comes the belt r.
There is also u bill to create cot-
ton weighers that is likely to become
a law, and will in our opinion be-
come a downright swindle and
source of corruption. Every pro-
ducer has the right to weigh and
sell his cotton, or to employ any
body ho pleases to do so. The
right lo control and dispose of it—
is ono of the citizen, which belongs
to him by nature, and which no law-
making power has the right to take
from him. Honce we have ever
opposed all bills to create cotton
weighers, and every other contriv-
ance to deprive the citizen of his in-
dividual and natural rights. We
suppose the financial policy of tho
Legislature will be developed in a
few days. Thero will probably be
one and a half or two millions of
bonds issued and sold to meet tbo
pressing indebtedness of the State.
Tho Surpremo Court is now in ses-
sion, it meets every day at 11
o’clock to dispose of such cases as
parties agroo to try. This arrange-
ment will bo followed until the Leg-
islature passes tho act fixing the
places of holding the courts. This
bill, perhaps hangs fire in the House;
it first passed that body, fixing
Dallas and Galveston as the otner
two places. The Senate struck out
Dallas and inserted Tyler; but the
House will probnbly refuso to con-
cur and hold on to the original ar-
rangement.
The General Land Office, and
other departments, are getting
slowly under way, and the wholo
doubt, his rig
vexed every day, hand runnin’ with
the filthy communications, of tho,
blasphemous set that war always
a-loafhrln* and a saunterin' around
ah, a pickin' up his tools and mis-
placin'' ’em, and a callin’ him an old
fool or somothm’ worse ah; and, to
clap tho climax, he was a preacher,
and had that ongodly gineration in
his hands evory Sunday as. But tho
Lord stood by him and seed *11

Tho Democratic Legislators of
Texas need not think they are rest-
ing in security, since their shameful
legislation of a few days since, by
which an attempt has been made to
swindle the people ont of their right
to control their affairs. Their dis-
regard of actual and implied pledges
—their wanton and disgraceful vio-
lation of trust, their bigotry, their
pnny tyranny, their truckling and
their blunders, are now all passing
in review before so outraged peo-
ple. Their cloaks of Democracy
cannot bo nsed as a shield, bat on^« Just
