A NEW OFFICE FOR OCHILTREE.
Report Current That He Is to be Ap-
pointed Minister to Mexico.
Governor Ireland’s Message and Other
Subjects of General Interest.
Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
Austin January 20 ltW3.-For the last ten
days there has been a delegation of citizens
here from lagarto seeking necessary legisla-
tion to enable them to organize a county for
John Upton the county to be made of the
northern part of Nueces and the southern part
of Live Oak county. One of the gentlemen
comprising this committee to-day told me that
they had expended several thousand dollars in
their effort to secure this county and while
they are satisfied that they cati get their bill
through the House they are equally sure that
when it reaches the Senate it will be killed as
Senator Collins who represents that district is
one of the most influential members of that
body and it will require but a slight effort on
his part to kill it. As he has begun his oppo-
sition the delegates have abandoned all hope
of success and will return to-morrow to their
constituency sad and disappointed.
The dispatch published in one of the San An-
tonio papers purporting to have been sent by
some friend oi Mr. Joe Foster notifying him
that Ben Thompson intended going to San
Antonio to see him caused much fun here
among the sports.
OCHILTREE'S OEFICE.
For the last day or two Dame Rumor has it
that Major Tom Ochiltree will shortly be ap-
pointed Minister to Mexico which will neces-
sitate another election in file near future in
the 7th congressional district. It is also stated
that Senator Coke has addressed a letter upon
this subject to a recently elected judge of the
Supreme court asking him to sacrifice his high*
position and become a candidate in order to
save that district from a second defeat.
House lull No. 49 entitled An Aet to Re-
organize Twenty-fifth Judicial district
composed of the counties of Cameron Hidalgo
Starr Zapata Webb Encinal. Duval and
Nueces which was introduced by Hon. A. J.
Leo was made necessary by an over-crowded
state of tlie docket of Webb county. I believe
the bill will lie highly satisfactory to the entire
bar excepting perhaps a few “tly up the
creek” lawyers who are indulging the vain hope
that if they can succeed in legislating J udge
Russell out of the district judgeship they may
be his successor. Should Mr. Benavides be suc-
cessful in his undertaking in creating the new
district which he is advocating and throw Webb
into the Thirty-sixth district I am satisfied
the people of that section will condemn his
action.
Appended are the most interesting passages
in Governor Ireland’s message to the Legisla-
ture delivered to-day:
I respectifully invite your attention to the
subjects hereinafter referred to regarding the
lands set apart for educational purposes. In
view of the difficulties in finding safe and de-
sirable Investments for the proceeds arising
from the sales of these lands I submit to your
honorable bodies whether it will not be liest to
place them on the market at a long credit say
20 years. The whole subject is fraught with
difficulties but after mature consideration I
am of the opinion that a sale on long time is
desirable. lfthe;two houses shall concur in
this opinion I would suggest that a minumum
price be fixed below which they should not be
sold and that books be opened for bids.which
shall remain open subject to the inspection of
ail and at the expiration of six months or
such time as may be fixed upon the lands be
awarded to the highest bidder. The law should
also require a payment in advanceequal to one
year’s interest and should be so framed in
other respects as to create forfeitures on the
party’s failure to pay into the treasury all the
interest and principal promptly when due. I
deem it proper also to state that the law should
so provide that lands shall be sold in quantities
so as to be placedjwithin the reach of all. If any
pei-son shall want more than any one quantity
sold he may
PURCHASE OTHER TRACTS.
Safeguards shall also be made against allow-
ing water fronts and privileges lieing taken up
without a corresponding quantity of other
land. Should water fronts and privileges be
absorbed leaving the bulk of other lands un-
sold they would realize very little. It is
believed that an interest can be derived
from this mode of disposing of the lands
equal to any that can be had from any other
source and all questions about a safe invest-
ment are thereby settled. I deem it unneces-
sary to enter into the details of a bill on this
subject still I may say that I do not think the
minimum price of these lands should be less
than $2 per acre. With reference to the pine
lands or those not desirable for pastures or
agricultural purposes 1 submit whether a sale
ot timber alone is not the best disposition that
can be made of them. It these lands are offered
in quantities that will place them within the
reach of all and the fact of their being so
placed published in such a manner that all the
world may know of it and Ite able to compete
it will largely enhance their value and induce
immigration.
FREE SCHOOLS.
Where experience lias shown defects in our
schoolsystem.it should be improved. It will
be found that the system of school communi-
tiesand localities is at least the most satisfae-
ory. The responsibility of levying collecting
and distributing should be left as much
as possible with the people. The
whole question is then immediately before
them and if the property of the county has the
power to tax itself and manage the fund thus
raised it is apt to be honestly disbursed to
their own liking. This suggestion of course
goes beyond the general fund that may be pro-
vided by the State. It is understood that your
honorable bodies have under consideration pro-
posed amendments to the constitution relating
to this subject. From the best data before me
it is believed that the State ean pay for tour
and three-tifths possibly live month's school-
ing for each child in the Slate within the scho-
lasticage. I can see no reason why other lo-
calities than those now embraced by the law
should not be allowed to levy and collect an
additional tax for the purpose of aiding the
State in its efforts at giving the |>eople an edu-
cation. If the right to levy this tax by locali-
ties is confined to property holders there can
be but little danger of its abuses. The consti-
tution cannot lie amended so as to allow a sep-
arate school tax to be collected so as to be
available. Under three years I do ffbt doubt
but that every dollar of the available fund in-
cluding the one-fourth ot the general revenue
wtll be utilized by your honorable bodies for
the education of the youth and that the neces-
sary constitutional amendments will be sub-
mitted to the people. I am clearly of the
opinion that the State with a Utile aid for com-
mittees would be able to increase the scholastic
months from three to five or six months.
•IUPKIARY.
tin this subject I have to repeat what I have
said before. If our system was so changed as
to place two good lawyers on the bench of the
San Antonio Texas Tuesday January 30 1883.
governor’s message.
trial courts and dispense with the jury service
(which has become extremely onerous to out-
people) in a large class of eases and make the
judgment of these two judges final in a vast
amount of cases and allowing appeals when
these judges will certify to a difference of opin-
ion we would mon- than save the additional
salary of a in diseasing with juries as
suggestedami litigation would then be ended in
reasonable time. The few appeals would be
readily disposed of by three judges of the court
of last resort because the very questions to be
passed upon would be pointed out by
the certificate of division so far as
making the judgment of the trial court final.
I think it will be readily conceded that two
good lawyers holding the trial court would be
much more comjietent with the witnesses and
facts all before them to determine a ease cor-
rectly than three or more judges holding the
Appellate court could do on a transcript sent
up. By this system many of the inferior courts
COULD BE DISPENSED WITH.
With the rapid increase of population and
business we will have to continue the increase
of appellate judges unless we begin the reform
in the trial courts. The evils of the constant
increase of appellate cases are felt in more than
one direction. The most serious consequence
attending it is the constant unsettling of our
system laws. In the simple questions of prac-
tice it is now frequently the case that we find
the three appellate judges differing and it be-
comes of much more concern when those dif-
ferences extend to propertyjights. Germain
to this subject are the decisions and rulings
of the Court of Appeals. Their opinions ami
rulings are not allowed to be punished. I
think this is an evil. It is safe to say that there
are as many civil causes appealed to the court
as there are to the Supreme court and yet the
trial courts are not informed of the rules and
practice of the Court of APfs-als in civil
causes. I thereforerecommend that some suit-
able encouragement be provided fortlieqmb
Hcation of the opinions and rulings of that
court in civil cases. The suggestion to save the
country the annoyance and expense of jury
trials of course refers io petty offenses and
minor civil causes.
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
These companies under our laws are allowed
extraordinary rights and privileges and
they should l»e required to serve the public.
As now conducted they are to a large
portion of the people a nuisance. If they
are so crowded with business that they cannot
accommodate those who patronize them they
should be requested to provide additional facili-
ties or tell their customers that they cannot
send or deliver messages. Ordinarily as now
managed in sending a message say 50 miles
if it is placed on file in the morn-
ing it is likely to lie delivered
in the afternoon or maybe Jhe next
day. I recommend the enactment of a law
making it the duty of the district and county
attorneys to institute proceedings in the name
of the State against any telegraph company
upon responsible information of the willful
failure to perform any duty with reference to
transmitting or delivering any message depos-
ited with it for transmission and upon satis-
factory evidence to the court and jury to for-
feit every riirht conferred upon such com-
panies by the laws of this State.
OTHER THINGS.
Of the State force Governor Ireland says:
Our rapidly-spreading settlements and vast
extent of territory appear to demand a small
military organization and I recommend the
retention of the force now in active service.
He says there are as many insane persons
confined in jails and the homes of their family
(log huts in some cases) as in the State asylum
all for want of adequate accommodation for
this unfortunate class of inhabitants and
recommends the enlargement of the grounds
and the buildings at the capital.
Regarding railways the recommendation is
made that three or more persons be appointed
to see that railroad companies perform their
duty to the people.
The governor suggests that vaccination be
made compulsory. Peace officers he declares
should be punished for refusing to arrest any
person violating any law or city ordinance at
the time of violation.
LEGISLATURE YESTERDAY.
Stratton from the House Committee on Pub-
lic Health favorably passed a resolution re-
questing our Congressmen to perfect some
treaty with Mexico to better prevent the
spread of yellow fever and other epidemic dis-
eases.
Bills referred by the House: Johnson fixing
the penalty for stealing hogs at confinement in
the penitentiary for not less than one nor more
than live years. Fowler to amend the penal
code so as to make punishment for robbery
death or imprisonment in the penitentiary for
not less than five years or lor life.
After a long debate the House passed to en-
grossment by a vote of 56 yeas to 36 nays the
bill requiring male persons to work five days
every year on the public roads. Bixby.
INDIGNANT CITIZENS.
They Hold a Public Meeting anil Condemn
a Newspaper
Last evening a large and enthusiastic
meeting of the different nationalities of the
city was held on Military plaza for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the feasibility of getting
the bull- fighters recently holding forth at
Laredo to visit San Antonio and 2give an ex-
hibition.
After each member had refreshed the “inner
man” by partaking of two or three dozen
tamales and several plates of chile con carne>
washed down by barref-house bug juice Mr.
William Chrysler moved that the meeting
be resolved into an indignation meeting after
which on motion of Phi lip Sweitzer seconded
by Senor Yturbide the following resolutions
were passed:
1. That we deplore the prevailing custom
that the Americans indulge in by imbibing
half a dozen cocktails before partaking of
their matitudinal meal.
2. That we sincerely hope and enjoin on all
those present that the}’ will do all in their
power to cause the American population of
the city to abstain from the use of strong al-
coholic drinks which madden the brain cause
suicides and murders and finds the imbiber
thereof the next morning in bed with bis
boots on.
3 That we condemn the present jury system
and we pledge ourselves that should we be
culled on to serve on a Jury that we will faith-
fully do so and present no such excuses as our
“mother-in-law is sick our business needs our
attention or that we have to move our house-
hold effects or pay rent.”
4. That we condemn the Evening Light for
publishing our names in its columns when we
are so unfortunate as to appear before the
recorder: and be It further
Resolved That should :he Light persist in
its present course that we will petition the
Legislature now in session to pass such laws
as will make it punishable by fine or imprison
meat for the proprietors of the aforesaid
Journal lopublisli anything without consulting
a committee appointed by us for that purpose.
After a few remarks by one of the tamale
vendors the meeting adjourned.

THE THEATRES.
Charlotte Thompson at Turner Hall and
Fay Templeton at the Casino.
Charlotte Thompson begins a short engage-
ment at Turner 114111 to-morrow evening when
she will present the New Jane Eyre. Of the
play and Miss Thompson and her company the
St. Louis Republican says:
The theatrical attractions of last week had to
contend against great odds. There was the
new Armory hall opening festival which ab-
sortied our society people and there was the
military reunion which eaught tiie men about
town and there were several violent elemental
disturbances about theatre time. Altogether
the conditions of the week were not favorable
for the play-houses. But all was not lost
Charlotte Thompson re-established herself as a
St. Louis favorite by her artistic and powerful
presentation of Jane Eyre. This accomplished
artiste has not of late years paid St. Ix>uis reg-
ular annual visits and the public is apt to for-
get unless it is constantly prompted to remem-
ber. As a matter of history it now
tiecomes necessary to state that Char-
lotte Thompson was an immense pupular
favorite in the days of Ik’ Bar’s Theatre on
Pinestreet. She played three weeks’ star en-
gagements every year to crowded houses com-
passing a wide range of characters from the
Little Barefoots to the Paulines Julias and Ju-
liets. Then eatne the reign of legs and brains
retired from the unclean contest. The stage is
clearing the rubbish is disappearing and the
legitimate drama and > its intellectually en-
dowed representatives are taking ;possession
of their rightful domain. Charlotte Thompson
is one of these richly endowed representatives
and last week she came to the front at the Peo-
ple's Theatre in Jane Eyre a character which
Is tier own by right ol conquest. “The New
Jane Eyre”—that is the play—is much of it
Charlotte Thompson's own literary work. She
lias written in some characters for the purpose
of comedy-lighting; she has remodelled the
dramatic structure and furnished a great
deal of the dialogue. She also
makes a perfect stage illussion
in the acting of the character of Jane
Eyre and presents as nearly as is attainable
the heroine of Charlotte Bronte's novel which
many who have read the book only might well
regard as a dramatic impossibility. But it is
accomplished mainly by Miss Thompson's art
in arranging the situations introducing the
incidents and making the best possible use of
the materials for the development of char-
acter stage pictures and climaxes. It isa well-
rounded work of art both in construction and
expression and its effects are vivid and strong.
The Charlotte Thompson Jane Eyre made an
unequivocal artistic and popular hit at the
People's and the applause and recalls it
brought were indications of the most pronoune-
edjenthusiasm. This was the reception of every
performance and left no doubt of com-
plete success. It may be truly said and in
simple justice it must be said that Charlotte
Thompson is the best general actress on the
American stage to-day and her artistic train-
ing and superior culture are manifesting them-
selves in the legitimate revival now in progress.
She will grow with its growth and strengthen
with its strength and draw her audiences back
to her and a new generation of play-goers with
them. Under the unpropitious circumstances
the attendance at the People's was good all
week and the draft dearly’ indicated the
strength of the attraction. Charlotte Thomp-
son is engaged to play here again in November
next and that engagement will tell
the story of her regaining a great
public hearing. The “ Jane Eyre ”
company Is good for the work to do. Mr
Charles G. Craig is a thoroughly good Rochest-
er. Mr. Wm. Yeranee a young actor of
marked ability doubled the roles of Brochel-
hurst and Aetiille de Leon. The latter is a
French character part put in for light like a
stained glass window and Yeranee gives finely-
colored effects of manner and dialect. He is a
French scholar and makes the silent points of
accent with precision. The other prominent
people in the east have already been noticed in
these Columns. The “Jane Eyre" company go
from here to Cincinnati.
At the Casino to-morrow evening Fay
Templeton appears in Olivette. Her support
is said to be superior to that she had when in
this city on former occasions.
The Verdict of a Community
Ought to be sufficient to convince the most
incredulous of a fact no longer in doubt and
that fact is that the large and increasing trade
of this city justifies the energy and enterprise
evinced by L. Wolfson in keeping pace with
the times and demands of the trade. This lie
is doing by offering at his store northwest cor-
ner of Main plaza one of the largest and best
selected stock of goods ever brought to this
market replete with everything in the dry
goods line ladies' and gentlemen’s wearing
apparel ladies’ and children’s shoes and slip-
pers choice and most select stock of gentle-
men's and youth's wear fancy goods trim-
mings ribbons notions and in fact every arti-
cle that one may desire either for lady or
gentlemen in dry goods or wearing apparel.
I am now and will continue to otter at the
lowest prices the most choice stock of dry
goods dress goods both for ladies and gentle-
men bootsshoes fancy goods of every variety
ladies' gentlemen’s and children's wearing ap-
parel of first-class kind and description in
every grade and varietytoo numerous to men-
tion and to make my stock more thorough
and complete I keep constantly on
hand every article needed to furnish a house-
hold from a palace to a cottage consisting of
table furnishings of all kinds and assortments
rugs carpets mattings oil cloths etc. Also
one of the best selected stocks of furniture
ever offered in this market in bed room par-
lor dining room or kitchen sets to suit the pur-
chaser in price or quality. To the ladies I
would say you can get everything you may
desire for your personal wear or home fumish'-
ing at my emporium. L. Wolfson

MASHERS.
Reported for the Light by a Strong-Minded
I Ady.
An article in the Austin Statesman! in ref-
erence to young men and loafers standing on
the street comers and casting oblique glances
at the ladies as they trip by reminds the writer
that the same nuisance exists in this city.
Good manners seem to have become obsolete
altogether here. These free lunch fiends off-
springs of Professor Darwin’s theory shuffle
themselves across the sidewalks strike an
attitude like a lamp post (no insult to that
useful article) and stare at the ladies until
they almost turn a crimson color ridicule their
appearance and sometimes have the impudence
to make obeisance to them while blowing vile
cigarette smoke full in their faces. These
offscourings should be made to move on by the
police. Some of them will have their eyes in
mourning one of these days. They are termed
“mashers” in some of the metropolitan cities.

GALVESTON GOSSIP.
A Fisherman Fimds Two Tons of Red Fish

laudable EiTorts to Make the City a Great
Seaport.
B|»ecial Correspondence of the Evening Light.
Galveston Texas January 27.—The Brit-
ish steamship Rochester drawing 25 feet and
11 inches passed safely through the jetties at
New Orleans. This indicates the results of
Ead’s system of deepening channels which are
the same as that now in operation here. But
unless larger appropriations are made for this
port and Captain Mansfield is supplied with
means to keep the work constantly in pro-
gression there will scarcely be made such a
success of this harbor.
The pier agitation continues at intervals and
may serve the double purpose of stimulating
those most energetically working for deep
water as well as be the means of doing mors
to make Galveston the great seaport that
Texas needs. Judging from the names of
those connected with this enterprise there js
both money and brains to carry it to a suc-
cessful issue.
The recent wintry weather has seri-
ously injured our orange trees and
oleander shrubs to say nothing of lesser
beauties in shrubbery. To the aesthetes this is
a serious drawback for in the absence of
forest trees of any magnitude the orange and
lemon being evergreen are winter beauties.
The extreme cold snap was felt severely
among the tinny tribe how seyerely may be
judged from the fact that one party was en-
abled to pick up from the shallow waters ad-
jacent to the city two tons of chilled red fish
and trout the value of which he estimated at
$5OO. This by the way seems to a matter
of fact person as considerably overestimated
but for the fisherman’s sake I trust it is cor-
rect. To a non-resident of this city it would
seem a most natural thing that fish and oys-
ters were abundant and cheap here but the
truth is both are scarce and very high. Such
fish hauls as the above mentioned should
cheapen them.
We are about to have established in
this city a home for newsboys and boot-
blacks. There is certain<y no limit
to the good which can be made tributary to
such a move. The ladies of the Baptist church
have this in contemplation and ask aid from
any and all sources. It is a move that finds a
quick response in all Christian heartsand too
much credit cannot be given to these true
home mission xries.
It is with sincere disgust that I assert that
this city is without a peer when it comes to
mists and fogs not that fashionable inde-
scribable smoky fog known in London but
that horrible thick impenetrabledamp drip-
ping fog which penetrates the joints and
lungs and bathes the ladies’ plumes so well
that after an opera or evening out a hand-
some hat of ostrich plumes resembles a de-
feated chicken at a champion contest.
In social circles there is a dainty bit of old
gossip afloat dressed in a new costume
which sounds very like the jingle of
wedding bells and they are loudest in the
neighborhood of St. John’s Methodist church
where the young and aesthetic pastor Rev. G.
W. Briggs been supposed to find irre-
sistable attractions in a lovely Wood not
many blocks distant at whose shrine he will
modestly give himself away on the 30th and
receive as a recompense for his charity the
aforesaid lovely Wood.
What an age of humbuggery this is and
how many a poor dupe hands in his loose
change to swell the coffers of the make-believe.
There has been for a week past a trio of
wonder oracles doing our city capturing loose
change from the unthinking masses to whom
they sell a worthless green fluid which they
declare to be an infallible remedy for all ills.
All sorts things are attributable
to them especially to the woman who is be-
decked in tinsil. The more absurd their
performances are as they drive in their
curious vehicle through the streetsthe greater
the crowd of hoodlums that throng about
them while the dollars they capture for their
worthless stuff is a sight well to be made a
subject tor a sermon.
Well we are a bespattered muddy city
with the fog enveloping us so closely that each
house is hid from its neighbor and the sound
of the fog horn is heard from the bay con-
stantly This is our wet moon. Let us live
in hopes the next will be a dry one.
MEXICAN MINES.
Wonderfol Yield of Silver by the San
Antonio and Rosario.
Sienor Jesus Pinera and Mr. John W.
Turner of Nieves Zacatecas Mexico gave
the Light a call yesterday. The reports
they gave of the Rosario and San Antonio
mines at Nieves indicate that mining in that
section is flourshing. The former mine is
being worked at 75 feet below the surface
the latter at 175 feet and the average yield of
silver is $125 per ton. At present between
35 and 40 men are employed there but Messrs.
Pinera and Turner are en route for
New York to purchase machinery and when
it arrives operations are to be extended.
These mines are in the same district as the
celebrated Sombrereta and San Rita mines
the former of which has yielded $13000000
worth of ore in eleven months.
The San Rita which has not been so exten-
sively worked has yielded $3000000
of ore. The facts show that Zacatecas
is as Humboldt describes it “The Home of
Silver.” %
The Rosario ard San Antonio mines have
recently passed into the hands of ihe Fort
Worth and Texas Mining company.
