De FACTo STATE GovERNAENT.-Judg
George W. Paschal writes to the editor of
Flakes Bulletin from Washington, Septem-
Der 25th as follows:
A case was recently referred to the Treas
ury Department here, in which an opinion
was expressed by the Comptroller, which
was concurred in by the Attorney General
and Secretary of the Treasury, which is of
great importance to the people of Texas
The question arose upon certain U. s. five
per cent bonds loaned to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, after secession, but upon a
contract recently made and completed be-
fore that historic event. The bonds had
not been endorsed by the Governor, as re-
quired by the act of December, 1871. But
upon full review of the statutes of Texas,
the bonds being payable to bearer, and
having been presented by meritorous
holder, this was held not TO be necessary.
But the main point was, whether, after
the act of secession and hostility to the
Government Of the United States, the rebel
State Government of Texas was such a
Government, dc facto, or that its acts, leg
islative, executive and judicial, were bind
ing upon the people ? The discussion was
very long and able and il demonstrated,
that so far as the acts were not in conflict
with the Constitution of the United States,
they were valid. The opinion is supportt d
by very high judicial authorities, and l
doubt not but the judicial authorities will
follow the political action, and this will be.
come the settled Jaw upon the subject. 1t
accords with my own views and The doctrine
as heretofore stated in your paper.

Etl-We were blessed with heavy and
steady rain on Tuesday night last, which
continued during the night and the greater
part of Wednesday. 1t was much needed
and will greatly benefit the wheat and
grass. On Thursday night another heavy
rain fell, and yesterday morning brisk
cold norther was b owing, making great
coats and fires quite comparable.

HoAEwARD BouSp.-Large numbers of
