FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Gen. Candy, writing
says the convention has completed the Constitu-
ton for Jexss and 1t will be submitted 10 the peo-
pie some time in July. Gen. Candy suggested so
late day influenced by the following reasons:
In thirty counties there Is no civil ORGANIZATION IN
connection with the State government In some
sparsely settled counties there is no civil organi-
cation whatever; in others only partial.
In other counties completely organized county
officers have failed to recognize the secretary OF
state, or make reports TO him. Some counties, so
remote, require twenty-five to forty days for mail
communication. Candy thinks 1t will take at least
ninety days perfect civil organization throughout
the State. Registrars Of last election having been
discharged the original lists were not filed.
Means, however, have been taken to collect the
original lists and resrrsnge them, and to reor-
gsnize the personnel Of registration though the
condition Of Texas is materially improved since
November and stlll improving. Still, In some
sections the authorities Of the United States and
provisional government are defed, II notresented,
and the civil power is Indifferent or powerless, the
federal force heing too small TO make itself re-
spected. Candy concludes by saying that ar.
rsngements are now progressing which he hopes
will cure this evil. Until that 10 done fair cleo
ton, as ordered by the reconstruction laws, is
impossible.
Candy ipclnses letter from the president OF
the convention regarding division of the State,
who says that division is only question of time.
The presi5sOt says that opposition comes from in
terested parties at Austin and the late rebel news
papers That division is supported by nine.tenths
Of the loyal people OF the State. He concludes
by earnestly recommending division and believes
that 1t viii finally dispose OF and demoralize the
rebel element within the State.
The Kspsas Legislature has adopted the fifteenth
amendment. The clerk of the House has made
out the rsil Of the next House. The recent state
ments that he had excluded Louisiana and Georgia
are, TO say the least. premature. In fact but few
credentials as yet have been presented.
Regarding Georgia, it seems understood that il
certificates from Bullock are Of usual form the
names will be placed on the roll, but if the gov
ernor makes any certificate vehicle of argument or
explanation, the clerk will hold them for consider
alton before the House.
