TTo advert -t
this qt:
much as we C is difference cf cpb'.Ion ia
the minds cf Legbrl&tcxs sad with otbefsv-
who as we conceive have not maturely cou-
ldercd tho points involved. " Of all the ro-
lorz& .demanded .by our people none
eland ont moxo prominently or are more
imperatively demanded. This mu3t con-
stitute our spology for dwelling oa tliis
subject. . ...
"We eliall endeavor to inako the natter so
plain that "ts that runs may read."
Says the Gazcil of yesterday:
The' laiinj evils cf the present consti-
tution ia the judiciary road and school
laws may. be reformed by amendments
and by an act declaring it a general election
it may bo dona the present year.
Has tha editor of.that paper and those
whose Tiews it represents . maturely con-
sidered the (pttcstionf Reference to the
Constltctloa -will clearly settle this raatter.
In tho general . provisions section fifty we
find the following: .. . .
The . Legislature -whenever two-thirds
of each house shall deem it necessary may
propose amendments to this Constitution
which proposed amendments 6hall be duly
published in tho public prints of the State
at least three months before the next gene-
ral election of Representatives for the con-
sideration of tho people; and it shall be
the duty of tho several returning officers
at tho next general election which shall be
thus holden to coca a poll for and make
a return to the becrctary of State of the
names of all those voting for Representa-
tives "who have voted on such proposed
emendments; and If thereupon it shall
appear that a majority of those voting upon
the proposed amendments havo voted in
favor of such' proposed amendments and
two-thirds of each house of the next Legis-
lature shalL after such election ratify the
same amendments by yeas and nays they'
t TI t - 1?J . . 1 A 1 . . ..
Biiau uoviuuira an lmccis ami. purpuhcu
ns parts of this Constitution; jTocid-d
that tho said proposed amendments fihall
at each of the said sessions Lavo been read
on three several days in each Ilcuvj.
It will bo seen from tho foregoing that
the Constitution docs not invest the Legis-
lature with authority to define what a gen-
eral election ia in wluch amendments to the
Constitution may bo offerod to the people
for ratification or rejection but that such
general election is one in which Rep-
resentatives are to be elected to tho Legis-
lature Not only this but after the people
have voted on tho question the succeeding
Legislature are to bo called upon to ratify
or reject itr- -r - . - v
r Is this not plain! :
iNow let us briefly glanco at tho facts.
The next Representative election : takes
place in November 1875 and the Legisla-
ture which is Invested with final action in
the premises meets in January following
(1876) two years from tho present time
: "We are told by tho Oatetta of yesterday
that delay amounts to nothing as the Dem-
ocratic party is in power and wo have pa:
raded before us tho enormous expense of a
constitutional convention wluch. that paper
m its Usual crude way estimates at a quarter
of a million of dollars. Why will it cost that
largo sum! . By what course of arithmetical
reasoning has our wise cotemporary come to
such a conclusion? If we mistake not; the
liighcst mark ever reached by any constitu-
tional 'convention held under Democratic
auipices has not reached $100000 and
under the pressure of the times and. that
spirit of patriotism with which tho people
ttro imbued is thero not every reason to be-
lieve the cost would be much less? ..
Now the next question arises is w hat
would besavedl . .
There are thirty-fivo judicial districts la
this State created simply to put Radicals
ia office when a far less number are neces-
1 tw city and perhaps to fifteen. A corre
spondent of the Jefferson iTagnct estima-
ting the reduction to twenty shows that
there would-be a clear saving to the' State;
ia. pno .year y of $73000 ; in two years
$150000.. But this is only ono item as will
be. shown by members of both Houses when
the question comes np for. discussion and
that tha saving to the Stato within tho two
years .will approximate if it does' not .ex-
ceed $250000. .. . -. . '
t-Tho Constitution points out co mode of
its amendment or revision except in:.the
section we havo qnotod and henco wo must
aliide tho two years or.striko boldly for a
convention. "Which is tho wiser course?
Does not wisilonx ptint to us to cet rid cf
tho entiro cumbrous . Radical machinery;
with ita corruptions? Of the judges nowin
offico. how many of them are worthy? . Six"
of them arc now under indictment for "high
crimes and misdemeanors" in which bribery
figures conspicuously ' . . " i '
. Thc proposition to reduce tho number pf
districts and thus legislate corrupt and. in-
competent judges out of office docs not
strike us as practicable The Constitution
requires courts to bo held in each county
three times each year. If this provision is
coaipliedvritli.bi;t-litUejicductiou can be
made in tho number of districts. Kindred
to tiiis is a suggestion to remove these offi-
cers who nro incompetent and corrupt by
address or impeachment. This- would en-
Uil a . very heavy expense and prolong tie
session inderbutcly. Is it unreasonable to
believe" that the cost attached to this move-
ment would not ho even greater than that
Ukf ly to bo incurred by holding a constitu-
tional convention! 1 "
1 And in addition to "all these considcra-
tir which wo consider" unanswerable
Ute Pestacratic Stato Convention' at which
t'hfre were eight hundred end fifty dcle-
gatcs frrsh from the people and rcprescnt-
irg'tbc entire States unanimously passed the
subjoined resolution:' "TTe favor tho call-

The Leg islt ure has now been in s.-tsl rs
fince tbe thirteenth of January. Every cne
knows the grand and peaceful victory ob-
tained over theTtadicabi during the first few
days cf its sitting Since the inauguration
st Governcr Ccke eTcrything has been
working smoothly and the Legislature has
been putting into proper train a large
amount " of work. The eld officers with
the exception of Do Grcsa and Lceffier tho
Superintendent of Immigration havo left
their offices' ia the hands of thoso newly
clceied. ! The different offices aro said
to be in grest confusion and it will
take months to gjt everything straightened
to understand f ully their condition. Com-
mittees have been appointcd'to investigate
the account of all the cut-going officers.
Ia the asylums no changes have yet been
made though it is fully understood that
the Lunatic Asylum ani that for tho Blind
will be turned over to. tew appointees m a
very shprt time. Governor" Coke has ap-
pointed CoL De Berry of Panola "Secretary
of State General Steele of San Antonio
Adjutant General and Capt. Geo. Clark
Attorney General. ' They have all been
ratified by the Senate and the new officers
with the exception of . tho Attorney General-
naTe entered upon their duties. The
latter is in Waco but will very shortly take
charge of hi3 office.. CoL Campbell of
Lamar county has been appointed Inspec-
tor of the Penitentiary and accepted by
the : Senate. The constitutional amend-
ments have been ratified by the Legislature
and the new Supreme Court composjJ
of .Justices "Roberts Devine Moore Bal-
lihger and Reeves " has been organ-
ized and is on the eve of going to work.
The question of settling the places of hold-
ing its sessions has not been disposed of and
probably will not be for some time to come.
Several addresses havo been prepared and
put through tho Legislature asking tho re-
moval of certain district judges which in
due time will bo acted upon when wo will
givc; the result. Towards tho frontier" a
disposition is shown to do all that constitu-
tionally can bo done. The minute company
pianos inrdisfavor and tho indications are
that some other system will be adopted.
Senator J3all has a bill proposing to raise
twenty companies;- of fifty men each to
permanently take tho field. This bill meefs
the approbation of Gen. Steele but strong
opposition' frotri the Eastern part of the
Stato' is" anticipated. No railroad matters
havo been before tho Legislature but agri-
culture and etockraising ia being considered
in various lights and towards both these
and immigration a liberal policy will be ex
tended. ' The public debt has not received
us yet much attention from the Legislature
but the Governor has been giving it earnest
attention and it is believed he will work to
some good.. The public debt it is true is not
large but then it is in such a condition as to
injure-the financial standing of the Stato.
The $500 000 of State bond3 hypothecated to
"Williams & Gion of New York for money
borrowed two years' ago; aro still in their
hands and the -time for their redemption
for tho: 233000. borrowed by Governor
Davis has passed now nearly one year. Last
fall action in law was commenced for. fore-
closure upon these bonds and bo tho mattt r
stands. Mr. Williams of tho abovo firm
i3 now in this city in conference with tho
Governor1 and it is to- be hoped that this
matter which has resulted in discredit to
the State" will ba shortly disposed of in an
honorable way. Tho Legislature is pre-
pared we think to do what is best in their
judgment to redeem tho financial character
6f the State. ' The work of tho two Houses
art r Tin VSVJrlfy CPiinnoJI t if -Illi-ig
billsj which aro accumulating in quantity in
the hands of tho committees. The com-
mittees have been very busy and in the next
few-days it is supposed much work will be
presented for the decision of tho Legisla-
ture.'" "--Cuf editorials so far have shown the
cours.e tbo Legislature has taken in mattors
generally. "We are publishing the offioial jour-
nals in the Daily Statesmajt but in conse-
quence of their great length it is impossi-
ble' tit "pnt -thcnv in the Weekly. As the
Legislature" will soon' commence- to bring
work to a focus .wo will hereafter prepare a
careful epitdme of its proceedings for the
"Weekly."1 "Anything of tho kind up to this
time would -have beon simply giving mat-
ters' in a crude state. : Tho readers of the
"Weekly shall hereafter- however have a
history of everything worth knowing as it
is disposed of. -

guished gentleman still remains in Austin.
He has been detained here in tho discharge
of professional duties. Aside from his cnii-
nuntl Abilities hi3 uniform courtesy and
kindness have endeared him to the people
of Texas: with whom he has grown up from
boyhood. Texas may well feel proud of such
pcrozvand.may. well delight to honor them.
Id the last twenty years we havo differed
fronihini at time very widely but there
aren"ono of the great men of this common-
wealth for whom wo have more respect.
He came here when it was a wilderness and
ha i3 diving to- see it marching to empire.
When "he was a member of Mr. Davis's cab-

federacy' could write to him with a certainty
of a prompt and cordial reply.

of his fellow-citizen? upon grave questions

proposes to publish a paper with the above
title at "Wasahachle. His prospectus is re-
markable for its brevity being the shortest
perhaps ever written as it is only eight
printed lines in length. It concludes by
saying that no one can get his paper unless
they pay for it. Was Mr. Gibson's " head

The reason why the Journal is trying so
hard to secure the State printing for the

hopes to give value to the material of that
Radical concern. """".

Texas Reminiscences.
j. m. iionrnis.
Bastrop is a pleasant little village nearly
halfway between Austin and LaGrangc on
the Colorado river containing about 1000
or 1500 inhabitants.
It was first called Mina but was after
wards renamed Bastrop in honor of Baron
de Bastrop who gave to tho corporation
four leajrues of land. .
Tho valley of the Colorado above and
below Bastrop i3 exceedingly rich and pro-
ductive. The old stage route from Austin
to LaGrange crosses the river four times
and after traveling it and beholdingJw
Dounties oi nature Bpreati ojiiHinore me J
have esteemed it asje5utiful and as attrac-
tive as any othef portion of Texas aboun-
trlnrwl
milk and honey.
In Bastrop resides tho ancient friend and
companion of the celebrated Jonc3 Rivers
tho renowned Phil Claiborne who as land-
lord and lawyer as well as the beloved asso
ciate of Col. Rivers commands historic at
tention. . '
Many interesting stories arc told of them
two of which' are as' follows:
- Ono morningl while at Georgetown at
tending court they with others met in tho
hotel parlor when Phil asked his friend
"How arc you this morninpr Jones?"
- Col. Rivers putting on a solemn "counte
nance answered
"Ycry well I thank you Phil; but I had
a very strange dream last night. I dreamed
that I was dead and in neaven and to my
astonishment I saw you enter the Heavenly
iungdom."
Phil exhibited great nstonishmont at this
information and earnestly requested his
friend to tell him how. ho acted on the oc
casion." ' '. ' -
"Well sir" answered Rivers "you came
in just about as you did into this parlor a
moment ago; stepped up to Mr. Clay and
shaking him warmly by the hand you Baid:
Why Henry Clay how do you dot'
"Then you shook Mr. Webster by tho
hand saying: . 'Why Daniel Webster how
do you do!
"Then with equal familiarity you 6hook
hands with John (J-Ualhoun ucn. Jackson
Georgo Washington and finally pushing
liens. Houston and lluak out of the way
saying 'Saml Toml let me pass you
stepped up to the Saviour of the world and
slapping him on the shoulder exclaimed :
'Why Jesus Christ ole fel how do you do!
I heard of you when I was a boy!'"
A loud peal of his inimitable laughter
was rial s only answer to this story of Col
Rivers.
Phil Claiborne never received a classical
education and it is said Col. Rivers used to
amuso himself and the crowd by relating
such stories a3 the following : "A "party of
us including Henry day JSIadam tie vert
Mark Antony and his wife Susan B. left
New Orleans by 6teamer for St. Louis.
Everything went on very pleasantly laugh-
ing talking and playing whist until we got
to Vicksburg when Julius Ca?sar Cleopatra
and old Tom Ronton got on board soon
after which old Turn Mark Antony Julius
Cscsnr and "myself went to playing seven up
for tho whisky and cigars.
"Wc were playing the fourth game when
Mark Antony locking toward the ladies'
cabin" exclaimed pointing his linger in that
direction 'Great Jove t look JuiiasI'
"Cxsar and all of U3 looked and beheld
Henry Clay with hi3 arm arouud Cleopatra
waltzing ai-out the cabin in fiue stylo; and
Phil it would have done you good to sec
the fire flash in obi Ca?sar'3 cye for he was
jealous and jiowerful fond of Cleopatra
"la jumping to bis feet he overturned the
table end made for Mr. Clay furiously but
ss he entered the ladies' cabin Madam Le
Vert with one of her irresistible smik-s
motioned Cbear to take a seat by her side.
He did so; and Phil I never saw the superi-
ority cf our Americari women over the
laJies cf Rome more fully displayed than
oa this occulta! Actually sir. Madam Le
Ycrt fascinated tha whole party end even
cr.ti.-ed Henry CIny to divide his attention
between her aud Cleopatra which made the
wily Egyptian l ite her 11; s ia ruortiilcV.ion
and cii-riri.
"At Memphis Daniel Webetcr and Mrs.
Heruans can.ie a!ir 1 and I te'.l yoa what
Phil their was ir.vro Lur-ging and kissing
and fan and frolic oa tbe wh-..l2 trip than I
ever s.iv.-l.xf.TC."

hie and Christ inlty and it said of Lira that
ence on a ttru? king ia the ccrgr ..b n
cf tbe faithful he was cJled itrv;:i to ex
hort when drying frca t"s' p-vket a
small bible of abont two by thres inches ia
size be real from the sera" a oa the a-..;it:
" Whatsoever ye would that men should do
unto you do yoa even so unto them."
Then holding the scriptures up before the
audience and turning over its sacred pages
he spoke as follows:
" This book my dying friends is the
bible and tbesj are the words of Jesus
Christ who wrote as no man ever wrote
and spoke as no man ever spoke and I
pledge you my word and honor as a gentle-
man the bible is a good egg and Jesus
Christ no sardine ! '
"Ho went about tho world not like a
roaring lion seeking whoa he might de-
vourbut doing good hcalingthe wounded

changing water into wine and command-
ing us poor erring mortals to drink it in
remembrance of Ilim.. God bless nim I
and that we should inherit eternal life I
"Now my friends let us reason to-
gether. Suppose you lose all your property
you can -work for more; if y-u lose your
wives you miebt marry arrain I "Were vou
rto lose your childien you might get more:
out n you lose your immortal souls up the
spont you go ! n
Shortly after this exhibition of his piety
Pbvj.met with some lricnds down town
and after drinking hot Scotches Toms and
Jerries he started home loaded down to
tho guards; but on tho way becoming
weary of his burden he braced himself up
against a horse-rack and was throwing over-
board his unhealthy cargo when a passing
friend came up and inquired:
"Phil are yon sick!"
Straightening himself up to his full
height he very contemptuously tnswered :
"You must be a d -d fool 1 do you sup-
pose I'm puking for fun !"
.Arriving at bi3 room he became deathly
sick when moved by his abiding faith in
the efficacy of prayer he fell upon his
knees and besought the Lord to spare his
life and heal him promising most solemnly
never to get drunk acrain at which moment
the prayer of Jones Rivers from the next
room came very distinctly to his cars and
was in effect that the Lord should not
hearken to Phil Claiborne's petition and
spare his life if He did Phil would be
drunk again in less than a week and would
finally die in his sins! "Tako him now O
Lordl" prayed Rives 4whilo the boon
most dear to Heaven the first tear of the
repentant sinner is in his eyes or Phil
Claiborne may be irrevocably lost I"
But as he once said to Judge Devine In
behalf of this same friend it is human to
err and divine to forgive the prayer of
Col. Rivers ascended not higher than his
head and Phil Claiborne 13 still a living
monument of God's mercy and compassion.
