WASHINGTON, March lat is reported
on good authority about Washington that
the Southern Radicals are much disap-
pointed at the retention Of Sheridan in his
present command under the Military Bill.
They doubles hoped for his being supplant-
ed by the modest and immaculate, the he
roic and successful Butler or Cutler, es-
pecially as they had gone to the trouble of
petitioning against Sheridan's reappoint-
ment.

Bay" The Houston Journal, in speaking
of the operation Of the Sherman Military
bill, says: .... ...... .
at is not probable that in its practical
operation it will very materially change
the condition Of affairs at the South, at
least for time. In our State, the present
State officers and the Legislature will In
all probability, be allowed to continue, un-
til their terms expire. If so continued,
however, their powers and functions will
be deemed provisional only; and the State
government subject at any time to be abol-
ished, modified or superseded. These are
the penalties of disobedience. 1t is prop
er then for the people to consider whether
they will act now, or wait yet awhile. Sup
pose they should choose to wait, there will
be no possible chance of avoiding the prac-
teal effect of the bill. These things
considered, together with the questions as
to what we shall make by delay, or what
we may gain by silent inactivity, are the
gravest subjects on which the minds Of the
people could possibly be engaged"

"A CONFERENCE.-The San An
tonic Weekly Express, in an article
headed The next Political Move in
Texas, asserts, that Hthere will be a
called session" of the Legislature,
and that the Governor "has sent on
his Private Secretary, Capt. Lane,
to Washington, who can ascertain
the will of the President, and tele-
graph back such word rs may have
been agreed upon" With regard
TO the first statement, we have no
knowledge that would Justify any
such declaration, and with regard
to the least, VIC have just seen Capt.
Lane, who has not been away from
this city since his return from DIAL
las about two months ago. The

TERMS OF THE COUNTY Court

TERMS OF THE COUNTY Court.
Hon. W. M. Walton, Attorney
General of Texas, in reponse to the
question submitted by the Secretary
of the State, whether the several
County Courts have authority to
convene in session oftener than the
times mentioned in an Act to or
ganizo the County Court, expresses
the opinion that they have, and says
that said Courts may convene for
the transaction of Probate and Po-
lice matters under the law as it ex-
listed prior to the passage Of the Act
increasing their jurisdiction.
There is conflict in the terms
for the month of April, between
that held for Police, and the one
held for general purposes; but the
Attorney General says the Police
matters for that month may be
transacted at intervals of the term
held for general purposes. This he
thinks may legally be done. Such
was the conclusion of the Senate
when the bill was under discussion.

Gaiy" We have no defnite information, as
yet, in regard to the action to be taken to
call conventions in the Southern States, un
der the new military bill which has become
law. BY reference 10 the Geographic COL
umn, it will appear :hat the District com
manders have been appointed, Gen. Sheri-
dan being the commander of the Fifth Dis
trict, comprising the states of Louisiana
aud Texas, with headquarters at New Or
leans. No instructions accompanied the
assignment Of the commanders, beyond q
copy of the law itself. 1t will be seen that
Gen. Schofeld, the commander of the Dis
trict of Virginia, has already assumed conf
mand in that district, and, the telegraph
says, CONTINUES existing officers" We do
not understand whether this means existing
eirH or military officers. ...
There is now before the Senate supple
mental bill, which has passed the House,
providing for the manner and time for call
ing the conventions, which will no doubt
pass. We have not seen the bill itself, but
its general provisions are set forth in the
telegraphic news. Until this has passed
and becomes law, we presume no action
will be taken. ..#....... ...

BAD ADvIcE.-Some ofour South
ern exchanges advise the people TO
hold conventions and denounce the
law subiecting us to military gov
ernments. We think our best poll
cy at present is 10 devote ourselves
quietly to our private affairs give
our enemies nothing to use against
us, and await the reaction which is
sure to take place, sooner or later,
in behalf of civil liberty. Public
meetings did a good deal to get US
into orr present difficulties, and
may yet do more to keep rs there
than TO relieve us. The only meet
ing we have yet seen reported in re-
gard to the military bill-that in
Georgia-ended in a split; and such
assemblages are more likely TO lead
10 confusion than harmony. Al
though the military has been declar-
ed superior to tho laws, we hardly
think that people who do not violate
the laws will be mOlested. If they
are we will Then have more reason
to complain, and. stand a better
chance to be hcarl.-GQl CiriIli7n.
