General Reynolds First Order.

General Reynolds has issued his first order as
commandcr of this District.
He draws the attention Of the people of Texas
to certain sections of the Reconstruction laws
which he proposes to enforce to the letter. The
first section in General Reynolds order is to the
effect that it is his duty to protect all persons in
their rights of person and property, to suppress
insurrection, disorder and violence, and to
punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers
of the public peace and criminals.
1t also authorizes him to establish Military
commissions to try offenders
Another section gives the General, the right to
remove all civil officers who oppose reconstruc
tion, etc.
General Reynolds plainly says he will protect
the lives, rights and property of the people Of
Texas with firm hand; that he will suppress
crime and punish criminals. We ask no more,
und if General Reynolds does this his name will
be held as sacred III the hearts of all loyal men
is that Of the lamented General Griffin.

Convention met pursuant to adjournment.
Journal Of yesterday read and adopted.
Mr.. Talbot from Committee on Platform in
troduced the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the Republicans of Texas
endorse the platform and ratify the nominations
of the Convention held in Chicago, on the 21st
day of May A. d. 1868.
RESOLVED, That we will do al, in our power to
carry out the Reconstruction Laws, ana restore
peace and civil government i'll Texas,
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this Con-
vention, the rebel State Legislatures (so-called)
which were inaugurated after the pretended act
Of secession, had no binding or legl authority
to make laws for the government of the people
of this State, and therefore, that all pretended
legislation during the late rebellion, was null
aud void from the beginning; Prorided).- that
where under such pretended legislation, lands
in small parcels have passed into the possession
of actual residents, it is the opinion of this Con-
vention that it would be good policy to confirm
such possession.
RESOLVED, That the pretended laws of rebel
State Legislatures authorizing payment i'll So
called State warrants, of interest due by the
railroads to the School Fund, were in fraud OF
the rights of the children Of this Statc and the pre-
| tended payments made Hereunder, (amounting
in total to upwards of S320000) were null and
should not be regarded in making settlement
with said railroads.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this Con.
vcntion, a liberal policy in the matter Of the
regulation Of the elective franchises policy
the dictate of prudence rather than revenge
will be best calculated to bring about harmony
| and acquiescence IN the benificent provisions OF
! the Reconstruction Acts a..
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, the organic law Of this State should
embrace no proscriptive provisions looking to
long probationary terms Of residence, as neccs
sary qualification for office. This Convention
believing that exclusive regulations of tho sort
will have tendency to create the impression
abroad that the Rebublcans of Texas are Jealous
! of the influx of strangers. Ls5@
RESOLVED, That the establishment of jMst and
! liberal provisions in organic law, placing
our State among the most progressive of the
Union. With a rigid and exact enforcement OF
the laws will encourage emigration, promote
prosperity and at an early day suppress lawless-
ness and violence.

factures and internal improvements under some
general and effective SYSTEM should in our epin-
! ion he made part of the organic law. But OF
