The special correspondent of IN
Galveston News, writing from Au,
tin, under date Of the 22nd, says
The committee appointed unde
barnett's resolution, to inquire WIS
additional legislation may BE- neces
sary to enforce Law ssd order in Til
State, and secure htss speech, frs
ballot, &c, consists Of the followin
gentlemen Burnett, Scott, Slsugh
ter, Flanagan, Sam Carter, Kisks
Mullens, Newcombe, McWashingtos
kealy, kenchler snd Armstross. @
Jasper, Burnett, Flanagan, and Nc
Washington, colorsd--- McCormic an
kcaly are what We up here rtyl
Conservative Republicans. Kirk,
and Armstrong arc Democrats
Armstrong emphatically 50. ",
may look for three reports from Thu
committee. One by the Conservativ,
Republicans, which, in my opinion
will recommend that Congress b,
memorlalixed to allcw this Conven
'ion to make Constitution, and
postpone the the vote on it indef
nitely, One from the extremists
asking unlimited power from Con.
gress in order that they may be able
to force whatever Constitution they
may make on the people, even at the
point Of the bayonct Of negro mill
tia. The third xill be signed by
Armstrong and kirke, and take just
such n view Of our present political
situation as nigh, be expected from
any candid aud honest enemies. The
following resolution, which was offer
cd by Armstrong, of Jasper, and re-
icrred to the Legislative Committee
Mt his request, shows his position
very clearly. OF course it will sleep
in that committee forever
Be it resolved by the delegates Of
the people in convention assembled.
That no person shall be deprived Of
his property or privileges, or in any
manner charged or condemned for
participation IN the late rebellion.
Johnson, Of Harrison, who really,
with all due respect, is the mos, mot.
lsyed colored gentleman ever saw,
