Case of Conscience.
Mr. Yeoman of the Tcxaa Enquirer In corres-
ponding; with his paper from Aiutin jays "The
chanocs are that Wigfall will he elected U. S. Senator;"
and notwithstanding the fact that sonic of the mem
here of the House are trying to make it a very seri
one caso of conscience because of the inhibition
cilaus In the Constitution he thinks the Senate wil
attach very little importance to the woes and direful
anticination of an uneasT conscience. That august
twdr is sole judge of the qualifications ot ita mem
lr7nd would neither reject or receive one accord-
in In th nrntisioni of our State Constitution. If
o r
the conscience is to b appease J at all and reconciled
to thrapparent requirements of the time we see bo
Joit grounds of olwtacle in the way since the report
of the committee on judiciary.
Mr. Ttoraam is Induced to believe that the "silent
RWditcT within" la made to assume pretty much the
ei.mpleiioifof the political preferences cf the mem-
ber t and that those who have the most punger.t
onvicttonaof th ain of doing violence to the con-
serene are generally those who have been always
moat virulently oppotcd to Col. Wigfall tho head and
front of all the offence Hint ha been given on this
eeor Th resolution of Mr Martin wa introduced
! operate against him and the hole design so di
ai.bakoui that no attempt waa made to mask it. I
im il.;i la talk about conscience but the
ublet (Mumt would detect very little if any of that
..iftal La th suuabblea now going on relative to
th "inbiViteey laue." There ii evidently much
um ut oolitic than anvthini ele in them. If
politicians have conscience at all we would encour-
t ach oxrcaaxnal "field iliaplaya' fur their own ben-

respondent .uf tho New York Time writing from
Woiwlstnck Vu recogniies tho chai'go we speak of
and says that It Is eiuph itic decided and uncontrolla-
ble. He writes from tho heart of tho "Tenth Le-
gion' consisting of Shenandoah Pago and llocking-
ham which liaie given or helped greally to give to
Yirgiiiia her hl;;h character for conncrvativumi. The
democracy of this section Ims always bcei cool nnd
moderate no extremes! ever gelling their votes and
no ultra or fanatical measures ever finding favor with
them. Th;s Tenth Legion so famous in the political
history of Virginia cmklstlng of a large preponder-
ance of Gel-mans or citi7f ns of Geruuin extraction i'
uow convulse I tn its centre at the enormities attemp-
ted to be perpetrated at their very doors. Tho con-
servative element is about to eucciinib to the pressure
of abolition heresies and their heartless uiodie-
rics. It is lamentable to think that this highly mod-
erate section which has alivays borne thy sentiment
of the legislative branch of the Stale Government
.hoiild now brcoiuo prominent in indoctrinating other
scctious wilh like ideas fiut who can blame Ilium :
the good quiet tin 1 industrious uitiicn must n-t his
house in order a well ns the noisy hustling specu! i
tor. Virginia miM prepare fir Ihe worst as well us
Miw'sdpp! or South Carolina. We let the writer in
the Times speak f..r hi:invlf upon ihis sulijcct :
"This conservatism no lnncr exists. The Harper's
Ferry insurrection has changed it into r.mk ultr.iism
Tho policy of disunion is ns warmly advocated uow in
this .section .is it was ccii'lenine I f.ur mouths ago;
and so Cur as I can obaerve. this sentiment will be
fully reflected in the Legislature nest Winter by eve-
ry member roui tho counties o..nip...iiuff tho Tenth
Legion." In such an event we nm' look for mi as-
ures which will surpass in their extreme character
any cvee before dreamed of iu Virginia The "Tenth
Legion " has always operated aa tho balance-wheel in
the political machinery cf the Commonwealth and
that once destroyed there is every reason to nppre-
heti 1 evil ccntequenccs. I haie heretofore been in-
irrdnioiis ns tc the threats of disunion which I heard
so often made ; but after the display t.f feeling wh'ch
have witnessed here dur'ng the session of the Coun-
tj' Court an occasion which brings together all 'he
principal men of the county I confess my increduli-
ty has been considerably modified. If the standard of
disunion were raised to-morrow I question if there
are a thousand men in Virginia who would not. rally
to it. This is a safe estimnte assuming tho state t.f
feeling in the " Tenth Legion" as the index of the
popular sentiment of tho Com inon wealth."
tZ7" Tho late message of his Excellency Gov. Hun-
n?'s amongst other useful reforms recommends the
assessment i.f the lands of non-residents at uniform
rates with oilier lands of similar guality in tho uamo
section of country iu which they lie. Tho evils re-
sulting from the present inodo of a?tessuietit is well
dcsoril.cd in his own words :
" It mav bo sal'uly estimated that near three-
firths uf tho wealth of our citizens consists uf real
PBtute anil yet. ic will bo found paying little more
than ono-tluril ot tno annual revenue collected
by taxation while tho holders nro tlnrivini largo
prolitH from the capital invested. This wide dif-
ierciK'O arises chielly from the imperfect manner
ut astea mont tho absence ot u minimum rate ne
low which lands tlioul.l nut be assessed. and last
ly from the impossibility of rendering the tax
available uiulor tho sales of the collector from
the iinpeiTeetnesB of titles which thoy convey.
I bo present law provides an umpire in cana ot
disagreement us to the valui) of proper y in the
assessment and while its provisions reach the
resident they do not tho non-resident hindhold
dor who gives in liis property when nnd where
it suits till cnnvefiioneo and upon Ins own terms.
It is impossible that the assessors of Travis lira-
zona or Iio w io miouiu know tne relative value ot
land in each of Ihoso counties; and if. they did
the law is remediless in their hands. Tho assess
ment of the hinds of non-residents should he made
either at the Comptroller's Office or by tho Coun-
ty Courts of the county in w hich they are situa-
ted upon the return of the assessor thereto or
by the assessor and collector himself of tho coun-
ty In which the land lies (a ia ordinary-oases)
where it is given in for assessment by the owner
himself or his agent or if it lies in an unorgan-
ized territory it could he assessed hy the Comp
t roller ut the averngo value of other lund ol sim-
ilar quality"
In the ahsencc of a minimum rate the non-resident
can give in his land at uch rates as will bear no
comparison with their actual value or show the
alightcst regard to the constitutional ad valorem prin-
ciple. Besides this the public roads lead through
his lands enhanoing their valuo more than five hun-
dred per cent. ; the non-rcident payg no road Cue.
and is liable to no deiuandu fur his services to work
on the highway so long as he keept out of the coun-
ty. Our citirens either work on the roadt or pay
their fine ; the non-resident bis his lands increased
in value the roads worked on or near his lands hile
be can stay away and give in his property to assessors
at any rate he chooses. A tax on such lands for the
benefit of the public roads would be advantageous to
the country. Such men who suffer their lands to lie
unoccupied ehoull have them taxed for road improve-
ments and purposes of general utility. The present
road law bear on the settler and citizen pretty heavi-
ly while the wealthy tion-residentlandholdereape.

Prk-cmI'Tiox Settlmu. Another Important bill ia
that ottered by Mr. Norton of the House donating
'J(K) acre of land to actual aettlera lu the unorganiied
couuties aud the territory Went. It requires that the
settler shall make ntll lavit supported by tho evi-
dence of two witnesses that he ia bona fide settled on
pub lo land and lived uwn und cultivated it three
years. The bill imikc no difference betweeu single
and married men ; the object of its projector being
to cn.'ouruge the emigration of the former class to the
frontier. It may bring a class of men upon the
frontier whoso absence thero would be more desirable
than their company. I think there should be a dis-
tinction made but I hope for the best.
The suiue correspondent writing two days tutor says:
"In the Senate on Friday and Saturday a few bills
of public interest were disposed of ; amongst them
a bill presented by Senator Walker to define tho l'ltli
and one to create the -"th Judicial District which
were referred to the Judiciary Committee. These
bills are dilferait from tho hills before presented.
The Judiciary Committee ehortly afterwards reported
a substitute for tho bill to crrato tho 20th Judicial
District hich was read nnd referred.

Arazo and Comanche Reservations.
" Yesterday an.l to-day the Senate have had under
discussion in Committee of the Whole Senator Potter
in the chair the frontier protection bill. It was o-
mended by giving the. authority to the Governor to
raise the force of Rangers any where in tho State.
The debato was very interesting and in my next I
will mention tho Ideas advanced nnd positions assum-
ed by the Senators. I must not close this however
without my tribute of praiso to Senator Erath for his
unswerving devotion to the interests of his section
and his unshrinking firiuncbs in advocating a measure
of so vital importance to them. Nor can I avoid men-
tioning the speech delivered by Senator Throckmorton
in committee in adveoasy of the bill. It was a bril-
liant cfTort and was complimented as tho best speech
that had been delivered in the Senate for many a day."
Meeting of the Democracy of Red River
On tho 10th ult. there was a meeting of the Democ-
racy of Red River courty II. R. Latimer in tho
Chair and D. K. Jamison Secretary. Tho object of
the meeting was explained by the Chtirman nnd a
committee appointed to draft resolutions. The reso-
lutions were adopted unanimously and reflect much
credit upon the gentlemen who composed the commit-
tee. After expressing unbounded confidence in the
democratic party and satisfaction at it past honors
they say :
"And believing still that what has proven here-
tofore so eminently sound and successful must
have innate elements of soundness which will
warrant continued adherence and support take
occasion to express their undiminished confidence
in democratic principles and tho National Dom-
'ocratie Party and their determination to abide
hy it and to maintain it to the utmost of their
ability so long as there is a national organized
body of it to support."
They endorse Mr. Buchanan's administration in the
main but dissent from his protective policy and bis
disregard of the energetic appeals of Gov. Runnels
Tor tho protection of the frontier ; they sustain the
President in his Mormon and Nicarnguan policy and
his discouragement of public buccaneering ; and
while not holding him responsible for the enormous
expenditures not recommended by the present admin-
istration tbcy would claim of i democratic- Executive
that he should be economical. The democracy of Red
River claim the observance of our constitutional rights
n regard to slavery and bclievin? thtt t hese rights
are best preserved by the Constitution in the Union
they will endeavor to adhere to this Union witV in'r-
en to a different course by a positive outrage of leg:s-
lation. They believe in the maintenance ef all the
reserved rights 1 f tho States not fiercely but fiTvi'y ;
opposed to the agitation of the policy of re-openirg
tho African slave trade conidcr;r' i! a queea of
utility and humanity und not of politics. They ex
press themselves fully satisfied with Mr. Runnels' a.bJF
ministration aud believe he has done his utmost con-
scientiously to minister to the welfare of the State.
They explicitlyt-.tH.tc their belief in the plainly in-
tended non-intervention principle of the Utah New
Mexico and Katuua bills reiterated by the Cincinnati
Convention ; are opposed to a territorial code being
enacted by Congress or any. congressional Interftr-
ance on th tubject being satisfied to rest tb proper-
ty rights cf the slave-holders npon the eonatitutiooal
right cf the parlies and the exposition of them by
the Supreuie Court of tlx United State. '
They also appointed delegates to the State Conven-
tion in order to apjioint delegates to th Charleston
Convention and to take inch other measures a are
necessary for the efficient organization cf the demo
cratic party in the State. They call open tber politi-
cal bretherea throughout the Stat to meet od ex-
