AUSTIN, July Z, 1916.
The Convention assembled on the morn
ing of the 4th, and unanimously elected
Gen. Rusk TO preside over its deliberations.
On taking the chair he made short adj
dress, which was we'll delivered and suita-
BILE TO the occasion. committee of ff-
teen was soon after appointed, who report
ed by their chairman, Judge Lipscomb, an
ordinance asserting, OH behalf of the peo-
Iple of Texas, to the terms of annexation
proposed by the United States Government
1t was adopted with one dissenting voice
but five members absent. 1t was engrossed
and signed by all the members present II

law of your Secretary of the Treasury, and

''That the members wear Grape on their
left arm for one month, as testimony OF
regret for the decease of Gen. Jackson
The Convention then adjourned. 1t was a
novel celebration Of the Liberty Day, to
surrender the independence of our nation,
and by the act of the whole people, assent
to its incorporation with another, and offer
ii tribute of respect to the man through
whose influence the measure was consum-
mated.
A despatch was received from the Uni
ted States in the morning, and Major Don
elson arrived on the evening of the 9Th,
having been detained at Washington by Sc
rious lndisposition. These dispatches re-
late to the occupation of our frontier by
your troops. They are now on their march
the foot by water TO Corpus Christi, on
the west bank of the Nueces the dragons
by land to San Antonio.
The step is taken that will decide Next
CO in her policy. Foreign troops will soon
be upon the soil she claims. Her choice
must be declaration of war; or, if she is
wise, negotiation. She may acquire money
by the latter-defeat and disgrace by the
former. To-day resolution was passed
requesting the President of the United States,
in behalf of the people of Texas, to send
troops forthwith to our frontier. This re-
solution is a sanction, on the part of the
people of Texas, of the movement noted
above.
Lord Aberdeen has avowed to DR.. Ash
bel Smith that her Majesty's Government
will not interfere in the question, so he
writes home.
This once fourishing village is in state
of entire dilapidation and ruin-the effects
Of an arbitrary exercise of power, without
cause and without precedent; and although
the author of all this ruin is elected del
egaIe, he will not take his seat; he cannot
he dare not look upon hundreds whom
he has in his wantonness ruined.
The Hon K. L. Anderson, Vice President
of Texas, died on the 10Th instant at Fan
throp's, Montgomery county, of fever. The
papers are in mourning for the sad event.
Ashbel Smith has been recalled from
England. Speaking of this the Galveston
News of the 18th inst. says: We should
like to know what he went for, what he
has done, how much money he has peck
eted, When he is going again, or what plan
will next be fallen upon to disburse the
public funds.
