INTERESTING REMARKS UpoS
THE AUSTIN CONVENTION
Austin correspondent Of the Houston
Times, makes the following remark,
relative to the Convention and ia
members
1t isa general observation Of ali
who visit the capitol while the con.
vsntion Is in session, that il IL in
every respect the most ordinary body
of men that has ever met in tia,
building to dsliberte upon sas
Affair.".
Negroes, scallawsgs, and carpet.
baggers form tn bulk Of he u.
semblagc, bat tn are . Few, very
few men in this convention, whose
talents would be conspicuous even in
tho Congress Of the United States.
Tho 6rst Of thess is L. D. Evaus,
OF the conservatives, Jack Hamilton,
Of the moderates or anti abinitio 70.
publicans, and Morgan Hamilton Of
the extremists.
OF these three, Judge Evans is
probably the 6rrt in point Of real
talent and sta.esmanship.
While he has = clear, practical
head, his judgment is ever ia unison
with the impulses Of generous and
justice loving heart.
Jack Hamilton Is decidedly the
man of the brightest genius, and
there is no man in this State, and
few out Of il, who can 40 mould !
multitude to his will by the mere
power Of eloqucncc.
As for Morgan Hamilton, his
brother, there never lived = man
more. logged in his purposes nor
more sincere in his convictions.
As far as an opinion can be form.
cd at the present stage Of its pro.
cecdiags, the Convention will be con-
trollcd by tho element Of which
Jack Hamilton ia the head and
front. In minor points aud side is
sres the extreme radical feelings o
members personally may forss thsm
selves to the surface, but 10 III
prime work Of framing for the STATE
an organic law, though radioalisu
will be the foundation, II win b il
its mildest form.
There are certain ones who advo
cato the Acknowledgement Of the 70
called rebel elsmsnt OF the State
but il does not End favor with snJ
one whose influence il worth ,
straw. Tho division Of the Stats il
likely to be the exciting question il

only have u State to himself, anl

would probably be satisfied for I,
while.
