until after the Presidential election.
Before lhe resolution alluded a. Nas

Tho appropriation MAS refused,
llenee lhe r'sOialiOn, An ordinance
will DO passed icVying a special tax
for deficit pay and for per diem at
the December sitting, This tax il
now determined upon by those who
will propose lhe measure al twenty
cents oh the hundred dollars worth
of taxable property in the State,
81 YOU see this m0ngrci lrrespOnsi-
bic, nondeseripl assembly, represent
ing nobody but the nigsers and
their white allies who are generally
not entitled u as much respect, ia
tend % have enough funds ga their
return la Decembor 10 continue the
eight dollar per day income for Il
considerable length Of time. Now,
| have only gllmmoring idea OF
events for the next three months,
but will oifcr tho suggestion 20
your readers 10 watch them closely,
Il may bc that the present members
will not again meet in Convention
at all, \ new election may DO or
dored, because those who We're sent
here under tho reconstruction acts
for tho performance Of specific du
ties have failed TO make n constitu.
tuition. But we shall see before
long. Every hope of the rcpubli-
can party in Texas ms ascortaincd
from their leading lights in this
Convention is conferred upon the
success OF Gen. Grant IN the Prcsi.
dental election. The deep earnest.
ness with which the whole COnsor.
vativo element Of the country,
North and South has received the
nomination of Seymour, has awak.
cncd n fear that tho republican par.
ty is by no means forcgOnc con
clusion. Hence quite II member of
the members of this Convention in.
tend going into the n-rthcrn and
western States soon after the nd
journmcnt A. j. Hamilton is to
canvass Pennsylvania. This is dc.
termined upon TO n certainty ! am
told by those who ought to know. .
Where Bell, Pcasc, Davis and other
shining lights Of tho dark party /.
will 20 is not yet known. Ruby |
will probably canvass Maine. There .
is no reason why he should not .
Judge Bell has found in him n foe .
man worthy Of his steel, and us he
was completely dazzlcd by him for
the Presidency ofthc LoyG! League, .
he has too much discretion to pit .
his honors against this sparkling
intellect again. 1t is not known
where Bell will go, but it is pretty
well known that he will not risk
another Glance in the race Of polit.
ica honor with the conhiclin"
claims of the Island City gem. Ii
is the opinion Of quite a number,
now persona! and heretofore poIiti.
cal friends Of Judge Bell, that in
this conflict with Ruby's claims to
preforment, he worked himself, as
the whist players say, into the nine
hole where honors don't count.
There is quite Il disposition with
many members Of the Convention
to extend the disfranchiscment SO
far as to insure in future the success
of the radical party in this State,
From everything see and hear. |
believe this will not be done, at any
rate at this sitting Of the Conven-
ton. Your readers may be assured
that the future action of the leaders
of the Republican party in this
State will depend on the failure or
success of their Presidential candi-
date. Until then the party will re-
main quiesccnt
Heavy rains have recently fallen
in this immediate vicinity. Vogo-
tation has in consequence revived
and the scenery presents the APP
pearance Of spring.
AS matter Of general public in
terest, i may mention a contempla-
ted enterprise here in the pubica
tion by Mr.. James A. Foster, one
Of the best and most tasty printers
IN the State, of an agricultural
Journal which will be the size of
Flakes Daily Bulletin and to some
,xtent well illustrated. The paper
will be devoted to the development
IF the material interests and to the
prosperity of the people of Texas,
all the important cur
'ent news Of the day, and in fact O
very item of information to inter- f
st or instruct those who have the n
prosperity of Texas or the proper o
development of her great natural 7
esources as a consideration. The
Material is partly here. The
emainder on the way here. Mr..
'oster has determined to make it a
uccess and although he has said
little about it has
cen preparing for active operations
or the past eighteen months. The '
of the paper will consist
two thousand copies of the first
umber for gratuitous distribution.
vii not TEXANS sustain such an c
nterprise? l think so.
