HoRRID MURDERS AND ROBBERY
We learn that Mrs. Hobby, and
her two daughters, were found on
Thursday last, in their dwelling on
the Tuscosa, about 80 miles South
west of this city, lying upon
the floor, dead, with their throats
cut. The house had been robbed.
Mrs. Hobby was formerly re-
sident of this city, and had recently
removed to the Tuscosa, where she
had established a stock ranch. The
ficnds who prepetrated the act are
probably beyond the reach of JUS

tist named Brown, conceived Il no.
lion that his shortest road to fortune
would be to marry her. But then
she was the laughing stock Of the
seminary because she was 50 gaunt
masculine and ungonteel in her
dress. and Brown felt that it would
require all his nerve to withstand
the ridiculc Of several Of the young
pupils with whom he has hiricd IN
til he was satisfied that they had no
money or expectation Of any:
However, he consolcd himself
with the reflection that he should
speedily obtain influence enough
over her to enable him to become in
measure her adviser in the man

foremost thought was to amend her
long Iank form. by the aid Of crino-
line, which she had never worn, and

Correspondence Of the Dallas Herald
Joint Resolutions Relative 10 Coercion

BE ii Resolred, BY the Lcgisla-
ture of the State of Texas: That in
view of the exigencies Of tho times,
we deem it proper to declare,
That, when the sovereign States
of this Confeceracy entered into the
Compact of Union, they delegated
to the Federal Government no pow
er to compel by force Of arms obc,
dicncc by the States to the Federal
authority, but on the contrary such
power was expressly denied
That, the employment therefore
of force by the Federal Government
to compel any State of this Union
to perform its obligations under the
Federal Compact, or to compel Il
State against the will of its people
to remain n member of this Contcd-
eracy, is in violation of the Consti-
tuition, dangerous usurpatlon OF
power. destructive Of the right of
f. government, and fatal to the
existence of the Union itself which,
formed of equal and independent
sove<eignties, cannot be, n between
conqucring States and s"3iueatea
provinces,
That, should, Gas we have serious
reason to apprehend, may be IN the
present condition Of the Cnion) the
Federal Government attempt 10 60.
erce any of our sister States Of the
South by force Of arms into snGec-
ton to Federal rule, we assure soeh
States of the sympathies Of our .peo-
ple. and that we shall make ccm-
mon cause with them in resisting by
all means, and to the last extremity
such unconstitutional violence, and
tyrannical usurpation of power,
The above resolutions were this
morning, Jan. 26th, presented to
the Senate by the Committee on
State affairs, as substitute for those
offered few days ago by Mr.. Guin,
of Cherokee-they were immediate
ly adopted, read, on suspension OF
Of the rules, and passed upon q call
of the yeas and nays, unanimously,
The judiciary Committee of the
Senate have under consideration
several matters of general impor-
tance to which their attention has
been called by resolutions, such as
amendments to our Criminal laws
&C., &c.
The Committees on Militia and
on Indian affairs in both houses are
acting jointly, pcrfecting the policy
relative to our frontier troubles,
the treasury, and towards putting
the State on footing Of genVal de-
fence. 1t is quite certain that the
Minute system will be adopted
as to the frontier.
A bill passed the Senate to-day
granting an extension of time to
the Rail Road Companies of the
State to comply with their charters
the provisions are general, applying
TO all.
In the House nothing of impor-
tance has been done. save to debate
at considerable length the Bill re-
cognizing the Convention to assem-
bic on Monday next. 1t passed the
House this morning on a call OF the
yeas and nays, nine voting against
it.
1t seems to be generally conceded
that the Convention will pass una
nimously an ordinance of secession,
will submit it to the people for their
final decision at the same time they
will provide for an election of del
egates to another Convention in
case they the people adopt the or
dinace of secession.
This course it is thought will har-
monize all parties and insure a full
expression of the popular will. W u . .
