From Texas.

The steamship Galveston arrived at New Orleans,
on the 1Sth from Galveston.
The Austin Democrat arguing that Santa Fe is
included within the boundaries of Texas, as laid
down and defined in the law Of 1896, contends that
1t rghfuy becSs5 20 her, and to her alone, and any
attempt to establish territorial other government
within these limits is an Infringement of her rights
rs a sovereign State.
A letter appears in the Austin Democrat of the 9th
inst. 1t is from Gov. Henderson. addressed to Gen.
Taylor, and dated Executive Office, Austin, Texas
Nov 23d, 1916 Gov. Henderson refers to the Gene
rails dispatch of the 25th September where he says
1.-THE gallant defence of the fact of recent
favorable to the interests of peace, induced me to
concur rith the Commissioners IN termS''
From the above it might be, and has been inferred
he says
''That the Commissioners acted without having
previously had instructions from yourself, which
feel assured you never intended to be understood to
say, we received our instructions from you on
both occasions of our retiring with the Mexican
Commissioners to draft the articles of capituaton.'
He then reminds the General Of the following cir
cumstance, which took place on the occasion
"You will, doubtless, recollect that when your
Commissioners Immediately after your first nstruc-
ons returned and reported that they could agree
with the Mexican Commissioners, you rose TO leave
the room, your officers with you, proposition
and appeal was made to you oy Gen. AmPudla, be-
eve 1t was, to allow them to retain, rs understood
it, only their muskets, sabres and other small
Sc saw disposition in you to grant the boon, and
[ then reminded you of my opinion that you could
compel them to surrender at discretion, and
added, that if you persisted, they would not allow
you to leave the city before you would be notified OF
the acceptance of the terms first proposed You
piled that you did not wish to run any more risk, or
shed any more blood-that all you desired was pos
session of the city, and that that would satisfy your
Government. To which replied. that if it satisfied
the Government of course would be content Here
the conversation terminated between us on thai
point
A large body of Indians, supposed TO number not
less than 500, are near the San Gabriel Knob, about
10 miles from Austin. This camp is in section Of
country where there is little game-they keeE
up constant signal fires in every direction.
An express has been received at Houston, from
Messrs Torrey g. Brother, stating that ga larg'
/ body Of Camanches and other Indians had arrives
within seven days ride of the Trading House, higl
up on Little River, numbering more than ten thou
sand. Five Camanches sent in by their chiefs
with the old Waco Chief. They profess to b
friendly, &c.
u Messrs.. Torrey g. Brother desire the Governor
send detachment of rangers to protect their trading
establishment.

The Butler Bill.

The Joint committee to whom the proposed amend
ments Of the State debt bill of last winter were re-
ferred reported back the Saturday last, with
few alterations and additions In bulk the amend
nent bill remains pretty much before it sub
mitted to tie committee. 1t was put into the hands
of the State Printer Saturday evening, and though
making thiry-two pages of printed matter cap pa
per, was delivered to the two Houses on yesterday
afternoon. We viii not venture to decide whether
this speed is owing to the friendship of the prin-
ter to the canal interest," to that despatch for which
he has heretofore received credit. We presume
he did bis best, whatever may have been his motives
We have not had time yet to scrutinize carefully
the alterations which have been made. The whole
subject is one of vast importance, and which will
vitality affect the interests of the State for the next
quarter of century at least We hope to be able by
next publication to give our opinion as to the
probable effect of the proposed amendments they
now stand.
BY the way, see that the State Journal publishes
the bill of Mr. Ortiz, providing for the adjustment of
the State debt upon the principle proposed by Mr..
Defrees in the Senate year or TWO ago. accompanied
by very plausible calculation by which the State can
redeem its credit and retain the canal and canal lands
in its own keeping We may have word or two TO
say about this bill in good season.
