CoNDITIOE OF AFFAIRS IL TEXAS
Mi Gen Candy, commanding the 9TH
military district, has addressed letter to
the Secretary Of War, dated Austin,
Texas, February 18th, in which he says
the convention has completed the work of
forming "A constitution for Texas, and
that he understood the time fixed for sub
hitting il to the people to be some time
in July next, the suggestion for postpon-
ing the submission to that time having
originated with him, he declaring at
length his reasons therefor, among which
are the fact that in many counties there
is no civil organization that is in relation
with the executive department of the
State. In Obers county, officers have re.
fused to recognize or report to the Score
tary of State The difficulty of commu
nicating with some of the more distant
counties is another reason for the post
ponement.
There are no registry lists on file, bu
measures are being taken to collect thu
original lists, and reorganize personal reg
istration. He reports that the condition
of the State has materially improved
aince the November election, but Their,
are still some districts in which the au
thority Of the United States and of tn,
State are openly defed.

TIE NEW UNITED STATES COURT
TERM IN VERMoNT.-The Montpelier
Journal and the Burlington Free Press
are endeavoring to put a smooth face on
the establishment of new term of the
! United States Court at Burlington-in
oder, they say, 10 quiet the fears of Rut-
and and Windsor We are aware, gen
tlemen, that all looks fair on the outside
Of this matter. They wish Us to under
stand, that this additional term will dc
very much to secure the continuance OF
the courts where they are now located
This is all very soft language, but the
entering wedge is made and the United
States District Court is on wheels, and
wall eventually locate at Burlington. The
various lodges in the bill are artful and
~hrcwd, but the scheme is an old one, and
was per,i-tcutly opposed heretofore by
Senator Foot, on several occasions, and
defeated. They suggest whether sit Is
not good policy for Rutland to gently
submit to the loss Of portion of the bust
ness which has. hitherto been poured into
the old channels, rather than run the risk
VI losing the whole There is no neces-
sity for threats relative to our losing the
whole, for it IS already understood that
We are 10 lose the whole eventually, for
the scheme Is already perfected, but we
are aware that it will come by degrees,
Rutland losing the United States Courts,
and Burlington gaining them. We thank
the.Journal and Free Press for their kind
and soothing advice, but say to them the
movement ard its abettors are well
understood lereabouts. The people Of
Rutland have been too much engaged in
their own business, and have neglected
their public interests, while their neigh
bors have been undermining the founda-
tons upon which they supposed one of
their permanent institutions rested.

Gen. Candy appends letter addressed
to him by the president of the constitu-
tional convention, in which he says the
convention has passed a resolution for the
divisions of the State, which is only a
question Of time. The opposition comes
from interested persons at Austin, and
the late rebel newspapers. The division
Of the State, however, is supported by
nine-tenths of the loyal people.
He concludes as follows: 1--WE earnestly
believe that this measure will finally dis
perse and demoralize the disloyal element,
md give US a separation OF the State
which will bring us the rest, peace and
prosperity which we have for the past
seven years been striving for.

Legend of a. Musket.

Mark Twain tells tho following story,
related by.a fellow passenger, who, being
bantered about his timidty, said he had
never been scared since he loaded an old
Queen Annc's musket for his father once,
whoreupon he gives the tollowing5
"You see the old man was trying to
learn me to shoot blackbirds and beasts
that tore up the young corn and such
things, so that [ could be of some use
about tho farm because l wasn't big
enough to do mach. My gun was a SIM
gle-barrelled shotgun, and the old man
carried an old Queen Anne musket that
weighed a ton, made report like thun.
der.clap. and kicked like mule. The OLD
man wanted mo to shoot the musket
sometimes, but 1 was afraid. One day,
though, got her down and so l took her
to the hired man, and asked him how to
load her, because it was out lin in the field
Hiram said he, 'do you see these marks
on the stock, an x and q ', on each side
of the Queens crown? Well, that means
ten balls and five slugs-that her ioao'
But how much powdcrF
sOh.' he says, lit don't matter; put IN

So I loaded her up that way, and 1T was
an awful charged had sense enough to see
that, and started out. 1 leveled her on
good many black birds; but every time l
went to pull the trigger, l shut my eyes
and winked. I was afraid of her kick
Towards sundown I fetched up at the
house. and there was the old man resting
on the porch.
Been out hunting, have ye?
Yes, sir says /.
what did you killY
Didn't kill anything, sir-didn't shoot
her off-was afraid she would kick, Il
knew blame we'll she wouldl'
sGimmie that gunr the old man said,
as mad as sin.
And he took aim at saplng on the
other side of the road, and began to drop
back out of danger. And tho next mo.
ment heard the earthquake, and heard
the Queen Anne whirling end over end in
the air, and father spinned around on one
heel with one leg up and both hands on
his jaw, and the bark flying from that old
sapiing like there was hail storm. The
old mans shoulder was set back three
inches and his jaw turned black and blue,
and he had to lay up for three days.
Cholera nor nothing else can scare me the
way was scared that time"
