void Tg'T Jarnh
NeUT1uuse DO repeal the ordinance % 7O-
cession instead of declaring itnull and void
and are grAtihed 10 know that We are not
alone In differing with the Journal on this
subject. We have the action Of the noble
Rraio Of South Carolina, whose proud his
tory We shall ever admire. Her people, In
convention assembled, were not willing to
make the useless and disgraecfll admission
that they had been, during the last four
years, Waging war In which they knew
that right was against them, Feeling
consciousness of moral reotitudc, they were
not willing to proclaim and declare TO all
mankind and 10 their p0steriiy, what they
believed in their hearts would have been u
JdisshO0i-tha they were the instigators of
IN unrighteous md unjust war upon the
people Of the Northern States, The more
prudent, bnt not less patriotic people Of
Georgia, followed the example of South
Carolina, and on the 30th day Of October
1865, in convention assembled, repealed the
ordinance of secession, which they had
passed Oh the 10Th day of January 1851
President johnson, and the friends Of re-
construction North, have made no complaint
against these States for their action in this
matter, and they stand in the same rela-
tons 10 the General Government, M docs
Mississippi, who declared the ordinance
null and void But whatever course others
may have t0ken Texas has history Of her
own, and Is in many respects, "tho guard
inn Of her own honor" and should act as
the wisdom Of her people in Council may di-
rect. II is true that Texas, in common with
her southern sisters, after q heroic resis-
lance, has been compelled to abandon the
exercise of the right of secession; but prin-
cples are eternal and unchNnging, immut-
able and eternal, and if Texas, together
with all the Southern States, were to re-
pudiate the doctrine Of secession, il would
not AFFECT 1t one jot or little. If it existed
in the Constitution at the beginning of the
war, it still exists, and no power save the
one prescribed in that excellent instru-
mcnt, can ever obliterate it. International
laws may be formed or altered by the
arbitramont Of war, but written constitu-
tions of States survive the catastrophe and
exist in tact, until they arc abolished or
changed by the powers that made them
We have no objection 10 the incorporation
Of n clause in the constitution Of the Unit
cd States, declaring the right of the gene
raj government to coerce seeding State /;
but VIC do object to the people of Texas who,
but five years ago, by large majority de.
clared and exercised the right of secession
and up to within few months of the pres
ent, by the patient endurance of every pri-
walton consequent upon terrible war man
ifested their faith in the justice Of that &C.
tion making any such uncalled for and
gratuitious concession. 1t We're self-stult-
ifcation servilc submission and patent ny
pocrisy which would, at best forever stain
the fair escutcheon of our young and noble

DELEGATES TO THE COMMEMORATIVE
Galveston News holds the following views
on the subject Of whom will the people send
to the Convention:
"Iet none but master-workmen shape
her timbers and set her sails. But who is
worthy? Ia there man among u.s. whose
patriotism is true and tried; who loves Tex
as, and is identified with her history, her
present humiliation and misfortunes, and
her hopes and prospects; who has large in
te!lect, thorough knowledge Of the juris-
prudence, the political structure, and the
working of our system; who knows our
State and people, their wants, character,
and condition; who has varied information,
sound Judgment, and q pure heart? fthere
is, send him. There may be one or many
such But they will not be likely to tell it
themselves, to solicit our votes, or to cause
themselves to be announced as candidates
by 'many voters" They will be more like
ly to evade responsibility, to queetion and
deny their own competency, to say: "Pray
have US excused" But the people must
find them out lay the burden upon their
cry country, let the people begin to consid-
Gr VINO iS SulllClclt IOi SiStt WIN We
are soon to have done.'
Having done her duty, as defeated bel
ligerent the South should not rest content
and not "run after" the Northern States for
the privilege of restoration to the Union.
If those States can do without the South,
we can do without them. They cannot
pursue their military and colonial policy
without running themselves as we'll as the
South. If they do this, we can all 60 to-
gether. As regards the war itself, the
South is not originally responsible. 1t was
forced by. the North. There is, therefore,
no reason why we should submit to be
badgered by the Radicals for the sake of
atliliating with them in the Union. Let
them keep us out if they choose. Above
all, let us not tamely submit to be the arch
iteots of our own ruin. If we adopt the
constitutional amendment, which gives
Congress control of the negro question
allow, it to confer upon him suffrage and
equality, we are ruined, provided the North
can continue Radical majority in Con-
gress, for short time. And with that
amendment in the Constitution as temp
tation to the immediate exercise of Radical
power within the States, who can doubt
that the Radicals would be able to produce
agitation enough to elect a Congress willing
to exercise the powers thus given by the
Constitution Ii this thing be done, 1t
should be without Southern consent.

Christmas passed Off with more joy and
fun among the young folks than We have
noticed for several years. For the first
time since the war commenced, the stores
were supplied with few toys, and goodies,
which the youngsters appropriated with
great rapidity, and seemed to enjoy hugely.
The freedmen, too, have had their christ

which we believe they kept up during the
whole week; and we have, yet to hear of
any improperly of conduct among them.

aware of his appointment until he reached

office some three or four months since, but
never receiving any notification of his APP
pointment, he supposed that it was not
made; and hence the delay in his being
here. Had he been notified of his appoint

The Gonzales Enquirer thinks that o GER
tain article in our State Constitution which
prohibits banking and the issuing of bills
TO circulate as money, should be amended by
the forthcoming Convention, and that bank
ing be established on a good, sure basis
such for instance as is incorporated in the
constitution Of louisiana. We think IL is
the general desire of the people Of Texas,
that system of banking with proper
checks and safeguards, should be inaugu-
rated at once, and we have no doubt what
ever that this "sober second thought" Of
all classes of our citizens is right. They
have tried the no-bank policy faithfully,
and the result has been to pay our neigh
bors Of Louisiana an exhorbitant tax for
the use Of their currency, when we might
have been greatly convenienced and bene-
fitted by the use Of quite as good paper,
under the control Of cur own people, with
out being under obligations TO the citizens
Of any ether State. We expect TO recur to

TRAGEDY IN TIE PENITENTIARY.-For
some time past a bad state Of feeling had
existed between Thomas Bird and Donioio
Villareal, who were convicts and comrados
in the factory; and that after they entered
the same on this morning, the latter stabbed
the former in the abdomen, inficting what
now appears to be mortal wound. He
then hurried to the door of the factory,
where he met John Q. A. Jones, also q con
Wet, upon whom he inflicted a similar
wound. Once in the yard, he passed rap
idly across it, and attacked Mr.. Sidney
Shepherd, assistant steward, then on pos,
and stabbed him as he had each Of the
others. This done, he made for the gate Of
the main building, where he met and a :
tackled Mr.. Gus Sheppered, the stewart
who fired npon him, wounding him slightly
in two places, when he was fred on by Col.

Bk9 The Galyeston News, IN speaking OF
the Presidents Message, says:
''The parts of the message applauded in
the House were those declaring in favor of
the punishment of traitors; in favor of set
Ting the question judicially and forever,
that no State has right to secede; the pas
sage declaring that the course of England
in fitting out cruisers could not be sustain
ed before the tribunal of nations, etc. This
last assertion was received with general
clapping of hands, both on the floor and in
the galleries"
The same paper adds:
at is now evident that the joint rcsolu-
tion concerning the admission of Southern
members cannot pass the Senate without
material modification. every one" says
dispatch, "desires the admission, sooner
or later of the Southern members, but the
adoption of this resolution would place it
in the power of either House, or of the Ex-
ecutive of his veto, to delay their admis-
sion indefinite"
Sumner and Stevens, it is said, sneered
at the message, and pronounced it not equal
to a third or fourth rate lecture. By the
unprecedented masses at the North, however
it is regarded as an able, conservative and
dignifed document.
1t is said that Stevens caucus resolution
against the admission Of the Southern MEM
bcrs will not be adopted speedily, IL ut all.
Late proceeding have been somewhat con-
sentative, and it is now predicted that be-
fore the end Of the session Stevens and
