IARnR IN TEXAS.

A convention was recently held by the
Texas landowners at Houston, at which
a Texas Land and Immigration Com
pany, previously formed, was Endorsed.
This company is to keep a record OF
Texas lands for sale, and is also to sup
ply farmers with laborers. The Conven'
ton also recommends, in order to clear
away doubts as to land titles which have
resulted from the war, that associations
of land holders be formed in the various
counties, to have their lands surveyed
and their titles perfected and made clear.
The Convention finally organized into
an association, with an executive com
mittee to look after the interests Of Texas
land-holders.

pRrs1nENr,s POWER OF REMOVAL.

The bill for regulating the power OF
removal Of oiIiceholders did not pass the
House on Saturday, as it came from the
Senate. An important amendment was
added, which requires the Senate's con-
sent to the removal of Cabinet Ministers.
The amendment was inserted in the
House, on the general understanding that
the President under the Senate bill,
could remove Secretary Stanton, and
possibly might do it The idea of the
eigbty-two members who voted for the
amendment, was evidently in favor OF
retaining the Secretary in Office.

Revolutionary Days and Now.

The difference between the patriots and
statesmen of the Revolution, and the Radical
leaders of this day, says the Mountain (Cal. J
Democrat, is forcibly illustrated by the fol-
Rowing resolution adopted by Congress in
January, 1884, Immediately after the conclu-
sion of peace with Great Britain. But that
Congress was composed of rebels, the present
Congress Of loyalists, which may explain the
dIUeEcnce uetweeu rsse
The following resolution-and we ask all to
read it carefully--was unanimously adopted
by the men who had achieved the nations
independence: Ea9i q
That it be. and it is hereby earnestly recon-
mended to the legislatures of the respective States
to provide for the restitution of all the estates,
rights and properties, which have been confiscat-
ed, belonging to real british SUBJECTS -
And it is also hereby earnestly recommended to
the several States to reconsider and revise all
their acts and laws regarding the premises, SO as
60 render the said laws or acts perfectly consistent
not only with justice and equality, but with that
spirit OF conciliation which on the return of the
blessings OF peace, should universally prevail. 4
Here we see the spirit which animated the
-NONSAo NJ VIC ASCPuUtlCf says tue new damp-
shire Patriot. Compare it with that manifest
ed by the Radical leaders now. See how
Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock
and Adams acted at the close of the war
which gave freedom to the New World. They
did not think such course was ssdisloyaln
then. They urged the passage of laws re-
storing "estates, rights and properties which
had been confscated during the struggle.
They did not cry out for continued dsfran-
chisement, for hanging and confscation. The
