of bureau or commission seems to US
highly iniudcious Ii the Governor has
not time to attend to this part of bis duty,
he may be authorized to appoint clerk or
secretary to examine cases for him but the
responsibility should remain with the ex-
ecutive head.
He makes an excellent suggestion, which
should receive immediate attention, for a
board of unsalaried inspectors TO examine
into the management and condition OF the
numerous charities in the state, which pro-
vide or profess to provide for Invalid sol
diers, or the widows or orphans of soldiers.
We are sorry that in his remarks upon
the new Capitol he did not recommend the
Legislature to compel the commissioners TO
make such offers for plans for this building
as will attract the attention and draw out
the efforts OF the ablest architects in the
country. The terms offered By the Com
mission so far are such that no architect OF
ability would find it worth his while to
give time and study to plans which. even
if accepted, he would not be allowed to
carry out. If the state is to spend great
sum of money--ten millions, it Is said
for new Capitol, we ought at least to have
a building of which we shall not be
ashamed.

Paying the National Debt

The London Spectator, in abiding to
the prospect of our paying our national
debt ere long, remarks;
1t will be the greatest deed Democracy
has ever done, the one which will come
most clearly home to property-holders,
which viii most rapidly dissipate the idea
that Democracy is distinguished by IAN
ignorant impotence of taxation" or by an
indisposition TO pay mp honorable claims.
No despotism will be able TO show such a
financial account, no constitutional mon
archv better one, and successful finance
tells heavily with cultivated mankind The
tide Of immigration will set in with double
rapilitv, and the last remaining deterrent
TO British North America will have been
removed. Meanwhile, whether the dream
is fulfilled or not, America, so long as she
raises this surplus, possesses a force ofwhict
it is difficult to estimate the extent, can
for example, spend without loan as mucl
rs the whole outlay of Great Britain upor
her army and navy, can waste every yea
without increasing her taxes as much a
the loan with which Napoleon paid for hi
Italian campaign.

Trne ard Brave Words.

The fourth annual report of the Union
League cf Philadelphia is published, from
which we copy the closing paragraphs.
They are good, stong, brave words which
we hope are not needed by either Congress
or the people. The report concludes:
Our duties are plain before US. In the
possible struggle that may at no ditant day
arise between Congress and that body which
was once our Administration, we shall stand
with the Congress of our recent choice,
r,ther than with the men who have betrav-
ed Us, and whom we have also repudiated.
Rumors come to us from the Capitol that
il is the design of the Executive to seek
some means of reconciliation between him
self and our faithful representatives Trust
him not! The friendship of such man
is the most dangerous thing abput him.
The first treachery NAV be his crime, but
the second act will be the folly of his vie
tins. With our overwhelming majorities
in both branches of Congress, we have no
need for his services beyond that limit which
the Constitution imposes upon him. We
ali know what would lie the consequences
of his infringement of that sacred document
Warnings are already in the air that be
may heed or not, according to the measure
of his wisdom. The position of the Union
party duriig the continuance of his term OF
/ office is an assured one, from which we can
l.. 4 Hull not ha caltrna,l
We have had enough of compromises.
! The Missouri Compromise, which almost be-
longs to our ancient history, was proof OF
| the short-sIghtedness of those who tamper
with truth and Justice for the sake of tenn
porary peace. Whenever lie or false
rincipIe arises in the land let us strike il
down and the sooner the blow falls and
the battle is ought ont ION the linp,' the
better for all concerned in the contest
To postpone the evil day is to double the
volume of its wrath.
! If We Americans have not taken these
truths to heart, we have fought through {
long war, and gained great results IN the
struggle, but We have gathered little wis
dom by the way The questions between
US AMI the people of the South should be
settled but in one way, by the inhex!bl,
advancement of the principles for which We
fought and by which they fell. This i
the only solution of the difficulties whicl
our people will tolerate, and it is therefor,
the only adjustment that can be perman
ent. Let Congress stand by the time tries
principles 0! the Union party; let Us stanC
by Congress in Its efforts to put those prin
cipIes into practice, and if that which W
cal truth be not false in It's own nature
all will be well with US, and in the long re
suit of time all will be we'll with our reflect
ing adversaries.

The Democracy and Andrew Johnson,

Mr. lie Blond. a Democratic Representa-
tiv- of Ohio, took occasion, the other day,
in his place in Congress, to speak Of the
humble individual as follows:
"We have no interest IN the Executive
on this side of the house-not the least.

Of our choice; we did not put him there,
IClappiug of hands. We do not clam

him; there was no necessity of our drop

I'VE never took him up, and he has never
took us up. 1t is true, whenever he ran
into our line Of policy we were bound To
sustain him, but we never pretended TO
shoulder that which this Radical party has
nut into power. To do 50 would be tc
destroy any party in the world. Roais et

MARROW ESCAPE OF JUDGE BREWSTER.
In Philadelphia on Monday of last week,
as Jadge F. Carroll Brewster, was listening
10 the arguments in case Of equity, he
leaned forward for moment TO receive
some Information from an officer Of the
court, who stood in front Of the bench, The
movement saved his life, for instantly with
out the slightest premonitory warning, a
circular iron ventlator, weighing some
eighty pounds, winch occupied position
in the ceiling directly above, fell with tre-
mendous force upon the back of the chair,
crushing it to pieces as though 1t were
made of the most brittle material Not
only the back of the chair but even the
bindmost legs were broken. Had it not
been for his momentary change of position
this immense weight would have fallen
upon the Judgr's head, crushing it as it did
the chair. Certainly most miraculous
escape.

Grand LOdge.-The following was
made q part of the constitution at the
late session:
"NO dispensation to form a new Lodge
in any city Of this state shall issue, eX-
cept upon the recommendation of at
least majority Of all the Lodges in said
city, unless the said city shall consist of
more than one Masonic district, when
the consent of a majority of the Lodges
in the district where the new Lodge is
sought to be located shall be sufficient"
SectdridR Freem0sOn7g.- The follow
ing is the expression Of the Grand Lodge
at its late session:
"The great principle Of religious tole-
ration, as one OF the indispensable safe
guards of Masonry, we have ever fully
recognized in it's fullest and most Catholic
sense. We reaffirm it now, and should
regret to see any feature introduced into
our Inscriptions Of praise or rendition of
thanks, or supplieations for aid to the
Almighty Father OF Us all, which wound
the sensibilities or jar upon the convic-
tions of any Brother. And while saying
this we would suggest a word of caution
to those whose great zeal for their pecu-
liarities of faith and belief tempt them
sstrsy, urging them to remember that ii
has been seen in the history Of our fallible
humanity that none have clamored so
loudly for liberation as the sternly intol-
Grant, not alone of one race or creed, but
OF all races and ereeds."
Giving the Degrees Gratis The fol-
lowing Resolution was adopted
Resolred, That this Grand Lodge for
bid any Lodge within its jurisdiction
comforting the degrees of Masonry upon
any person for less sum than that
named in the Bylaws of the Lodge,
and in no case, except where the person
is to be made Tiler, shall any portion Of
the fees be returned 10 the candidate.

There are now several thousand beeves
in Williamson county, full, fat and fine.
The same may be said of this county, in
fact Of every county in Texas Perhaps
a million fat beeves could be removed
from this state without endangering the
supply for home use, and TO the great
benefit of the range, which is beginning
to be Overstocked in many counties.
The increase exceeds the consumption
everywheee.

ten Thousand gallons. This will in few

Gently, difficulty between two families,
named Brown and Clemmans, eulmi
mated in fight in which three of the
Browns were killed. No particulars. The
same paper says: A disturbance occurred
during the past week among the negroes
in the Harrison neighborhood, below
Monterey. We learn that white man
named David Reed, had opened a regis
tration office on his own hook, where be
induced the negroes to come every Sat
urdsy and pay him fee of fifty cents
each, and be drilled by him. They had
at last threatened to clean out all the
white people in the community.
The matter was laid before Lieut.. AL
lanson, commanding this post, who or
dered the citizens to arrest all whe had
participated in the affair and bring them
to his headquarters. They succeeded in
srresting some fifteen Of the ringleaders,
who were found with large number of
others, all armed and drilling. These
fifteen arrived here this evening in
charge of a squad of citizens of that To-
cality, and have been turned over to the
military authorities. Reed, we under
stand, made his escape, and has proba-
bly, gone to Shreveport.

mASONEy TEXAS.

The NJ. w. g. NJ Mather, in his ad-
dress before the Texas Grand Lodge in
1866, thus refers to Masonry in that state
during the late war. The recital of such
facts is well calculated to produce fs-
vorable opinion of the designs and prin-
eiples of our beloved Order:
1.-THE federal army in the destruction
Of property at Hampton courthouse,
saved the property OF the Lodge, and
returned It safely to its custodian under
a flag of truce; so, too, when Brother
WainwHght feR on the deck Of the Har-
riet Lane In her defense, his remains
we're inferred by the Brethren of Har-
mony Lodge No. 8, at Calves
ton, with Masonic honors; and a
singular spectacle was presented Of the
prisoners of war who were captured by
our forces. and belonging to the Order,
marching in procession with the breth
ren, as though for a time truce had
been proclaimed and the clang of arms
was to be heard no more. Many incl
dents have taken place in the high bills
and low valleys of New Mexico and Ari-
zOna, which will be collected ere long for
the press. One only need be referred TO
at present, which was a fraternal meet
ing in Lodge at night Of members Of
both armies, who met on the Level, and
next day were in deadly conflict on the
battlefield. Much suffering has been al
leviated, charity has been extended to
the wounded and sick, death has often
been prevented, and = surrender made
