From the ~. o. Picayune Sept. 81.
LATER FROM TEXAS.

By the steamer Galveston, which
arrived this morning, we have later
intelligence from Texas. The dates
from Galveston are Of the l7te.
The Legislature Of Texas has ad
journed without any action on the
boundary question. to meet again on
the third Monday in November next.
No intelligence had been received Of
the passage of any final bill by Con.
grcss, and the adjournment is for the
purpose ollheeting such proposition.
The Legislature did pass a law
requiring the Governor, in the event
of any proposition being received from
the United States for the purchase OF
the New. Mexican territory, TO order
by proclamation, vote OF the people
on the acceptance or rejection OF the
offer. 1t further required the Gov.
ernor to convene the Legislature. to
take final action on the subject. after
the vote by the people should be as
ce:tained.
This bill Governor Bell vetoed
upon several grounds, among which
are: That the proposition might be
insulting an! offensive. and some dis
cretlon ought TO be left with the Exc
cutrve asio the propriety Of ordering a
State vote upon it; and, further, that
the imperative direction to the Gov
ernor to convene ali extra session Of
the Legislature is in direct violation Of
the constitution of the State, which
reposes the power to judge of the
occasion solely with the Governor.
The House sustained the veto, by
refusing to pass the bill; the Senate
voted to sustain it bv two.thirds, but
1t failed for want Of House support
The Galveston News contains the
following paragraph, which gives
encouragement of the ready accep
lance of the Boundary bills;
we notice that some OF The New
Orleans papers are at issue as to the
fact whether Gen. Rusk's election rs
Senator took place before or after the
legislature we're informed of his vote
on the Pierce bill. We can inform
them that the legislature were fully
appraised of this vote some one or two
DAYS before the election took place
on the Goth. His election was by
many considered fair test of the
sentimer is Of the legislature respect
inc the Pearcc bill.
Both the papers at Austin are talk.
