TExIs.-The telegraph to-dsy ~ that the
Legislature Of Texas has essayed t6segaIizs the
acts of the Texas State Convention called by the
Texas secession leaders. The Convention has
declared the State seeded, and has refused to
submit Its own action to the people. These are
the acts which the Legislature has assumed
authority to legalize. Governor Houston de-
nounces the whole proceedings Of the unauthor-
lied Convention and the usurping Legislature
as being Illegal, refusing to recognize or to be
bound by them.
The Convention was elected by less than o1s-
third Of the vots Of the State! The usurping
secession leaders will find the old man Of San
Jacinto sustained by large majority Of the people
Of Texas In this case when the trial Of strength
comes az In the many almost similar contests that
have marked his eventful career in Texas.
