Texas Legislation.

We briefly stated, in last evening
Delta, that the regislation of extra cession
of the Texas Legislature proved nulIity
We will now glance at it more in detail.
The Legislature had passed several im-
portant bills-one authorizing the Govern
or to call into service three thousand vol.
unteers, and also to organize the militia.
for the purpose of asserting the rights, by
force, if necessary, Of Texas to the the ter
ritory of Santa Fe. in case Congress failed,
by the 4th day Of March next, to make any
proposition to Texas for the purchase of
country, which should prove acceptable to
the people. The other was sill making
it the duty of The Governor to submit to
the people whatever propositions to pur-
chase the country, or settle the question,
Congress should make, and restrained him
from any action under the first bill until af-
ter the people had taken action for or
against The propositions.
The first bill passed the House of Repre-
sentatives by large majority, but finally
lostin the Senate by vote of ten to nine.
The second bill was passed in the Senate
and also in the House, with an amend
ment simply altered the language of the
bill, so as to request the Governor to sub
nit propositions to the people, instead of
making it his absolute duty to do so.
When the bill was returned to the Senate,
that body refused to concur in the House
amendment. The House then receded
from their amendment, and passed the bill
as it came from the Senate.
Gov. Bell refused to sign it, and return
ed it to the Senate with his objections.
His first objection is, that the Legislature
has no right to contaIsd him to submit
the matter to the people; he should have
been left free to exercise his own discre-
ton. The second objection is, that the
constitution of the State gives to the Gov.
ernor alone. the power to convene the Leg.
islature on extraordinary occasions, and o.
deciding when such an occasion exists
whereas, the bill takes that power of iudg
ing from him, and, without permitting him
TO exercise any discretion on the subject, il
requires him imperitively 60 convene tht
Legislature, in the event of the happening
of contingency; and if the Legislature
can do this, he contends that it can wholly
subyert. and putat nOughs the constitu
tional provision which limits their Assem-
!, bling to benial sessinns.
The Senate passed the bill over the veto
The House sustained the Governor by
large majority, and the bill was lost.

The World Of Beauty.

There is a world of beauty
Beyond this vale Of tears,
Reached by the path of duty
Seen by the eve of faith
Where sits the King Eternal,
On lofty thrsne and fair,
Where flowers with blossoms vernal,
Perfume the ambient air.
Where spirits pure and holy,
In alteration bend
From humble hearts and lowly;
To God their prayers ascend;
Where breGthes no nete of sadness,
No burning tear is shed
But crowns of Joy and gladness
Adorn each sacred head.
Oh, in that world of glory,
Where holy sunshine stays,
Where time grows never weary,
Through everlasting days,
My long-lost friends are spending
The Sabbath of my rest,
Their hearts and voices blending
In anthems of the blessed.
Who would not cease repining
At suffering here below,
Could he behold them shining,
And all their raptures know
Assured that the great morning
In which the dead shall rise,
Shall find a crown adorning
His brow in yonder skies!

OUTRAGE BY A FATHER UPON MS DAUGH-
TER.-On Friday last man by the name Of
Jonathan Monroe, ofSeeknok, attempted a
most brutal outrage upon his own daughter, a
girl about sixteen years Of age. The facts
detailed by the examination show a depth ol
GePravity almost unparalleled in the annals
OF crime. II seems that the brutal father has
for several months past been making every
attempt to seduce bis daughter-sometimes
making threats of violence if she refused to
comply, and sometimes trying TO hire her to
commit the horrible crime Of incest. She
has steadily refused all his briberies and
threats, until Friday. when he attempted by
force what he had failed to accomplish by
other means. The attempt was made while
she and her father were alone in the garret.
She raised the cry Of murder and brought her
mother to her assistance. The brutal father
was examined yesterday and fully committed
for trial. Monroe is said to have been look
ed upon as a respectable man, and his fam>

they wither and loose their flavor without
acquiring any additional durability.
The best mode of preserving apples for
spring use, is TO put them in dry sand as
soon as picked. For this purpose dry the
sand in the heat ofsummsr, and late in Oc-
tOber put down the apples in layers, with
covering Of sand to each layer. The advan-
tages of this mode of treatment are these:-
lst. The sand keeps the apples from the
air, which is essential to their. preservation.
2nd. The sand checks the evaporation or
persPiration ofthe apples; thus preserving
them in their natural favor, at the same
time any moisture yiel6pg by the apples

sand. So that the apples are kept dry and

complained at this, and openly advocated

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDoTE.- In the year
1776, when Geo. Clinton resided in Albany,
there came a stranger to his house, one cold
winter morning, soon after the family had
breakfast. He was welcomed by the house
hold, and Hospitality entertained. A break
fast was ordered, and the governor, with his
wife and daughter, who were sitting before
the fire employed in knitting; entered into con-
versation with him about the affairs Of the
country, which naturally led to the enquiry
what was his pation.-The caution and
hesitancy with which the stranger replied,
aroused the suspicion of the keen sighted Clin-
ton. He communicated the suspicion to his
wife and daughter who closely watched his eV-
cry word and action. Unconscious of this,
but finding that he had fallen among enemies,
the stranger was seen to take something from
his pocket and swallow it. Madame Clinton
with the ready tact of those troublcus times
went quietly into the kitchen, ordered hot cof-
fee to he Immediately prepared added to a

PIcKLTNG WINTER APPLEs.-The usual
iime Of picking winter apples is the last of
September or the forepart of October. many
leave them until the middle of October,
which improves their flavor, though they do
not keep so WELL In order to pick them,
some take small baske. in the tree, fill it,
and then let it down by means of a rope,
which will upset the basket. As better
mode, some recommend placing bags or
piles of hay under the tree tothrow the ap-
ples on--the hay to be so formed that the
apples will roll off as soon as they strike;
bat it would recommend to fruit gatherers
the machine called "fruit gathere-," an
article by which man is enabled to pick
the fruit while standing on the ground, and
also much faster than any other way. The
apple should be pulled so as to retain the
small stem only and to DO this it is neeess-
ary tina: the apple should be pulled in a
right line with the stem. If the apple is
twisted little it will come off easy with
