Tlio literary oxoctition of tbo frnml
is od a par with its baseness ami vil-
liany and it in hardly possible that
nny ovon tlio most unsuspicious
und credulous could bo deceived.
Tlio chief purpoHO of tlio ilneu-

TUB (lIMNflKllH.
As to tlio tlrnngers (Iip.v uro biipIi n
stupid one-sided set that if left tu
themselves we bIioiiIiI nut huvu much
to four from theui. They fondly ini-
ngino they can be farmers anil at the
Hume tiiuo their own curriers nicr-
chuuls and inctors. No donl.t they
can try. It 1b iiilto pertain that we
shall not permit them to be their own
politicians. Through our people
who have worked into tlieir
organization we ought easily to con-
trol them. At all events wo must Hat-
ter and ciijole them as Uov. Coke and
Judge Ireland the chairmen of our
Kfute committee have done so as if
possible to prevent them from usser-
ling themselves us a distinct political
(tower. Ho fur us may be prudent ami
circumstances may wurrunt they
' should lw tr eii led as our young men-
us being in a state of pupilage. The
impenetrable dullness of tlieir leaders
impels them to hung on to tlio skirts
of our public men und to take on pride
in being permitted tn associate witli
them. So long us they continue to do
so wo arc safe liy appearing to
defer to them und giving u
few crumbs . of otllco to
some of their number (taking care nt
the same time to have it widely
known.) we can scarcely fail to con
tinue to manage them as we have
done heretofore. .Still they must he
manipulated gently with the most
practiced skill and wiitched closely
lor they will heur watching. The tact
that our friend Throckmorton got the
tirangersof Northern Texas to peti
tion Congress to subslillHe His rullroail.
has demonstrated that the organiza-
tion can be mudo to do whatever is de
sired. Itesides our railroad friends can
be relied on too. und are bound to aid
us as occaslou may require in keeping
the Grangers iu tlieir proper places
in tlio field."
Wo givo tlio abovo long oxlract
bocaueo it is tlio gist of tlio whole
thing although but a small portion
of this extraordinary docutnont.
Wo rogrct that our spaco does not
permit us to givo it entire Wo
wiinot refrain however from adding
Home choice niorcenux such as the
following :
"Great caution as well as profound
secrecy must lie used in giving elleet
to the foregoing suggestions. We re
peat: Our young men must bo occu
pied ilattered and to some extent (if
uecd be) rewarded in order to keep
them eonteuted in that suggestion
which is their proper place."
Tlio circumstnnce that the Radicals
have determined not to nominate can-
didates for the unnrouching Constitu
tional Convention renders the task of
our editors ut tins juncture
very delicate. They will have
to change their tactics uml use
moro discretion and forbearance than
their wont if the ltads. poke fun ut
us it will never do for our editors
either to tly into flinders or to gravely
controvert'their jokes.
Wo cannot forbeur intimating thai
our regular electioneering funds ruised
by ossesment uru sometimes used
without due regard to economy by in-
vesting them extensively in whiskey.
This is u mistuke. An inferior article
which might easily lie passed oil us
llrst rate is the sort which our eople
re used to and our funds should not
be wasted in buying anything better.
Our prospects uion the whole are
good. The visit of Kx-l'residcnt
Jetlersnn llnvis lias produded n belter
effect than was anticipated tmt it is
deemed bent that he should be only
supplied with money and should not
be induced to remove tn this Htalc for
iu that event ho would get elecled to
the United Mates Senate ami that
would blight the nsperutions of too
many of our prominent public men."
In ordor to givo this stupid fraud
tlio appcaranco of gciiNinencsH tlio
following admonition in italics is
put at tbo bottom of tlio circular :

It is needless to say that I hero
was no "nolo of transmittal accom-
panying this circular" but an the
documonta sent hero wuro posted at
Austin and tho ad drosses written
in a peculiar handwriting it is not
impossible that tbo perpetrators

necessary however to employ a do

effect of which is to liecp the freight
on Hour to points in Southern
Texas nl so high a figure us to
n punt to very prejudicially to the
milling interests of Northern Texas.
According to tlio published rules
of I ho Texas Central the freight on
Hour to Houston is $101.11(1 por car
loud while that on wheat is only
lib' 50. Since this larilf was pub
lishod wo learn that tlio charges
on wheat htivo been still further ro
ducod to t.'iO por cur loail to Hons
ton but wo huvo not learned of any
reduction on flour although hoiiiu
may have boon mudo.
It is much to bo regretted that
there should not bo u butler under
standing between tho railroad com.
panics and tho millers for il is uvi
dent that this Wttiitofco-opurntiou is
forcing us to import Hour whun wo
ttro producing millions of bushels
of wheat and have mills suflloiuul
to manufacture it.
Thoro is nosuror rocipo for tho con.
tinucd financial omburassmont of a
pooplo no matter what may be
their natural resources than the
praclico of Heading their money
ahioad to buy what they huvu the
means of manufacturing at homo.
Why should wo import flour from
St. Louis when wo huvo
abundant means of making
it for ourselveis? Thoro may bo
othor cuuses tending to force our
whoat out of tbo country and for
eign flour into it such as the inu
bilitv of our millers to hold the
amount of wheat necessary to supply
the demand for flour throughout the
ycur; but wo cannot help thinking
that our millers huvo substantial
grounds of complaint. These mil
way combinations will go far to
wards sliengthcning tho feeling
already strong iu somo quarters
that railroad charges like tho fees
of shcrill's and justices of the peace;
should ho regulated by law.
WHAT TIIK NEW I'ONTNI 1'IITIOX
IIOULII CONTAIN.
Tho ktlorof cx-Uovurnor Throck-
morton to tho Hon. G. T. G. Weuv-
or n candidalo for tlio Constitution
al Convention in Cooko county
which wo givo in this issue con-
tains many valuable suggestions in
roforcuco to what tho now Constitu-
tion should contain.
In regard to the Goyornor' ro-
couimondation on tho subject of in-
creasing tho jurisdiction of ' tho
Chief Justices of counties to ftvo
hundred dollars in civil cases to in-
clude aggravated assaults wo can-
not but think this a dangeious iu-
crouso of tho powers of tho Chief
Justices without the further require
ment that they thalt I'd wen learned
in the law. To iuslrust such en-
larged jurisdiction to such men as
are frequently elected to that im-
portant otlico would bo trifling with
tho rights of the people.
Wo cannot ngroo with tho Gov-
ernor that "no tax unless a very
moderate one should bo ullowed for
school purpuscB."
As tho writer shows tho fund
will soon bo ample if prudently
managed to support n munificent
system of free schools ; but to gel
theso funds in hand and to make
them available lor this year the
next und tho next is perhaps im-
practicable. What then ; shall wo
let our children grow up in ignor-
ance while wailing lor the school
fund to so accumulate us to furnish
tho moans for llieir gi atuitiiotis ed il-
eal ion ? "While the grass is grow-
ing the stood is starving" and who
can tell tho injury to the causo ol
education in this Slato which doubt
less would result from tho indefinite
postponing tho organization of an
ellectivo common school system.
As wllh n parent the most wretched
economy iu that which gives spar-
ingly for tho education of his chil-
dren so with tbo Stale il become
criminal folly to jMjslpono tho per-
form anco of a sacred duly because
it might involvu tho levying of a
school tux upon tho pooplo.
TUB BI)X!FJtMBt OF STEAM.
Il is claimed for Mr. Keeloy an
inventor of Philadelphia that h
has discevorod a process of vaporiz
ing water without heat Which if
his story is only ono-half truo is
deslinod to supercede steam entire-
ly. Tho stories told in regard to
this marvolloas invention although
they soora woll authenticated are
so wonderful that sonsiblo pooplo
will do woll for tho present to keep
their opinions iq reservo for the
facta.
Tho Chicago Intor-Ocean of a
Into date contains tho account of
an interview between a correspond-
dent of that paper and thoinvonlor
in which tbo latter gavo tho follow-
ing account of bis invonlion or dis-
covery :
I once drove an engine making
eight hundred revolutions minute
of forty-horse power with less than a
thimble full of water and kept It run-
ning fifteen dajs with the same water
by dissipating the vapor as fast as
used. n due lime I produced a pres-
sure of about twenty-eight thousand
poonds to Ui square inch in a receiver
which had a rapacity of a gallon and a
half and was three and a half inches
thick. The pressure wss so great that

ho no vor rallied but breathed his

being found.

ously had been in a precarious con-
Wilion from sofloning of tho bruin

voins from those of a healthy per-
son it hud greatly improved and
his physicians aiilorlnjnpil strong
hopes if not of his cm Ire recov-
ery at least Dial his life
would he prolonged several years.
General lilair was horn in Lex-
ington Kentucky February 1!)
IS2I und was consequently filly-
four yours of ago. IIo received his
education at Chappel Hill North
Carolina and ut Princeton College
New Jersey buing it griojuul'o of
the latter Institution Having
studied law with I-cwis Marshall of
Lexington Kentucky ho cumo to
St. Louis in 1813 and commenced
tho praclico of his profession. Rut
politics hud moro attractions for
him and ho soon mudu himself oon
spiciious us ono of a small number of
ardent young doetrinalres of whom
ex-Govornor Gralz Drown his
cousin was one; who moro than
fifteen years in advance of their
time first raised the standard of
Kroo Soil and later of Kmuiicfjiation
in Missouri.
In 1852 ho was a member of tho
.Missouri legislature and four yours
later was eluded to Congress from
tho St. Louis district. In both theso
positions ho was a bold advocate of
tho doctrines of his party coupling
with his emancipation theory the
transportation of tho negroos to
Africa.
Upon tho breaking out of Tho
Wur in 18(11 ho ardently espoused
llio Union causo und recruited the
first company of "loyal" volunteers
ruised in Missouri. From (hat timo
tn tho closo ho continued in tho
military service of llio Union und
won his way up to bo a corps com-
mander In fclliornmu's army and
marched with il "to tho sou."
In 1808 ho wus elected to the Sen-
ate of tho United Slates from Mis-
souri and in tho Democratic Nn
tional Convention held in Now
York on tho 4ih of July 18C8 ho
received tho nomination for the
sennnd ollco in the girt of tho Amer-
ican pooplo on tho ticket with Ho-
ratio Seymour. This high honor
was an expression' of admiration
for his gallantry us u Union sol-
dier mid his glorious magnanimity
toward tlio proslruto South extort-
ed ovon from those who so short n
timo boforo hud mot him in tho
smoke of the battle Hold In tho
ranks of their enemies. Asa can-
didalo of expediency his nomina-
tion was probably a blunder for in
'G8 llio Northern people were still
haunted with tho fear of annthor
"rebellion" and General lilair's
celebrated liroadlioad letter penned
in tho fullness of a generous indig-
nation at tho spoliation and ruin nt'
tho South under bayonet rule did
much to slay tho reset ion ut tho
North in tho direction of reconcili-
ation which was beginning to sot
in; and enable I Grant to inaugu-
rate a roiijn of nciolisin and cor-
ruption unparalleled in tho history
o! tho country.
It is a proof of tho decease! Gen-
eral's skill in character rcadin-j
that ho predicted when Grant was
first nominated that if elected he
would never voluntarily retire from
the Whito Ilouso. Grant's attempts
to soenroa third term havo verified
this prediction for his retirement
cannot by any meaus bo rogardod
as voluntary.
In drawing the moral por-
trait of the doceased General
his biographer may truthfully write
i hiin. tVit he fii faithful to his
frionds; magnanimous to his enemies;
an uncompromising foe of tho op
pressor and that he possessed in a
generous measure the true nobility
of the anciont Virginia race from
which ha waa descended which
took no account of life or fortune in
the defense of what be regarded as
the right. May be rest in peace I

Iu framing the new Constitution our

two to thirty-six weeks. Tho liirfs-

provision
In regard to tho four hundred sec-
tions set nsldo and located in Calla-
han Kustiaiul ami other counties dedi-
cated tn the lunuticand deaf and dumb
asylums and for university purposes
there should be a provision made In
tho Constitution directing the legisla-
ture to provido for their gradual gale.
In like manner us the mi'iiooi lum :
tlio proceeds to be a permanent fund

severul educational und charitable pur-
poses uud ut least us much more pro-
vided for on the completion of tlio
Texas uud l'nuiliu railroad uud other
lilies pretty certain of completion.
On the subject of tho sale of the
school lands let us suppose one-twentieth
of tho lit 0001.00 acres was sold
annually on twenty years time ut ten
per cent ouu-twcHliclhnf the purchase
money (o Ihj paid down with notes for
the remainder one-twentieth to ho
paid mutually. Suppose the land
brought $1 hi) per acre us a minimum.
This would gve StiU(HHi apuually or
Srliiclpal. it to be invested in United
talcs bonds the notes from purchas-
ers to bear ten per cent lly milking
the calculation you will see Unit the
ten per cent would be $1141X10 the llrst
ycur ; und by deducting the amount cf
principal of$00nu0 tho ten per cent
interest on the notes would decrease
$0000 each year but to this would bo
added the live per cent derived from
the principal invested In bonds. Also
seven per cent amount arising from
present $i(K)00ll0 school fund which
is in Stale bonds. Bo that there would
lie interest from these severul sources
to sustain the school system. Observe
that each year there is suggested a
sale of one twentieth of the it0(MI00o
acres; which would keep swelling tho
principal und Interest lly running
out the interest you will see that the
fund would become enormous und ut
the end of forty years the time for the
collection of last sales if the land aver-
aged SI (H) ier acre there would he
&Mnon0on udded tn the present school
In ml. llcsldcs the interest would have
accumulated to such an enormous
sum in u lew years that it could not lie
used und much of il would have to be
reinvested and Income principal.
No lax unless a very moderate ono
should 1j allowed for school pu poses.
If the Jii.Oon.iKiO school fund already
provided and lO.OOO.OoO acres of land
will uot maintain the system we have
a HMr set of stntesmen.
Get back pretty neurly to (lie old
system Is-fore the wur; llrst provide for
the Indigent seciind dllliise any sur-
plus over the indigent fund to those
who may desire or umong the mass of
scholars.
Wliile the school hied is In its Infan-
cy and we are building It up let the
Mate Treasurer (who bus nothing
much to do) act ns superintendent ex-
olliclo. 1s t I he magistrates at home
nr oilier Intelligent gentlemen serve as
counly trustees gratis.
This is slllllclent ill detail to give you
my views. As n matter of course on-
ly the ground work can bu laid In the
organic law. The remainder is legis-
lative. Tbo legislature should meet bienni-
ally. Terms of olllce should he reduced
(Slato ollloers) to two years. Allorney
General and all ntlicera elective save
tiie Hcoretary of Htate who should be
appointed by tlio Governor and con-
tinued by the senate. County ofllcers

would make somo other suggestions.
Itut I like much the bine ol your circu-

law in any case where a
general law can apply. That the law
