TIE great deposit case relative to the Pacific
railroad, appears to be involved in as dark
mystery as ever. On one hand, we are told
by an extra from the Office of the Austin Texas
Times, dated October 80, that 'sthe governor
has refused 10 receive the stock offered as de-
post, by Walker King, and associates. The
contract is therefore considered as having fail
ed'' On the other hand, we are assured BY
the telegraph, under date of the 9Th inst, that
the treasurer has received the deposit, not
withstand the governors refusal" We sup
pose that tits all right; but would like to know
whether the constitution of Texas ordains that
it is the governor, or the treasurer, that is the
legal officer TO execute the laws. We, how
ever, hope that it will be adjusted and the "a
borers be speedily put to work.
