at the spigot they would not observe
the loss at the bung. If our State gov
eminent is to be made cheaper, it seems
to me that the chief place for retrench-
ment is in the county system rather
than in pinching the Judges, State
officers, or members of the Legislature.
We want in the higher places the best
talent the State can afford, and 1t is the
experience of every successful business
man that he must pay well if he would
be well served. The idea was well ex'
pressed by Mr.. Pannell, Of Ohio county,
in a speech which was equally COM
mendable for its brevity and its pith.
Having obtained the floor during the
discussion Of the motion to fix the pay
Of legislators at three dollars per day
instead of four, he said that he only
desired to bring to the notice Of the
Convention maxim which he had
heard when boy, and whose wisdom
be had seen constantly exempli6ed
during life: Poor pay-poor work. "

in preference to Grant were lucidly pre-
scented in original and vigorous style. His
speech will long DO remembered as one Of
great merit, but as we 60 To press, It is

GREELEY's HONESTY AND CONSISTENCY.
Whatever may have been the errors and
faults Of Horace Greeley in the past, it
must DO acknowledged that he has ever
been conspicuous for honesty and consist
ency, which cannot fail to meet the popu-
lar approval Of the American people. lie
has ever been manly and out-spoken in
his advocacy Of everything he approved,
and always sustained it with marked
ability. All that the people have oido is
to look at facts in an impartial manner,
and understand the true signifcanee in
relation to parties as now organized. One,
thing stands out in bold relief to Mr..
Greeley's credit. Since the termination
of the war, he las opposed with unfalter-
ing courage the carpet-bag governments
and outrages in the South, and from the
first has demanded universal amnesty. He
has advocated wise policy ofconcilia ton
Of military coercion. This is q
good record.

{ 1t is rather singular coincidence in

not attended with the same satisfaction

TUE ARGUMENT OF SELFIsuyEss-The
Trinity Advocate Of the I'd inst. contains
labored article on the Capital question
emtodying as great an amount Of selfish
ness and absurdity as could well be exhib.
tied in the same space. 1t was first OPP
posed 10 u removal, but now, assuming
that it certainly viii be, it goes for Ilous-
ton on The ground that it will enhance the
Importance Of Palestine and be more con-
venicnl for It's people, who are-disposed to
trade there. 1t will also raisr the price
of properly in that place Of holy name.
The 'pronr;nencc' given TO Houston would
be reflected Gin some measure IN its lit
tie II eighbor, who would swell up at the
idea Of its being so near the vicinity of
the Capital. What an idea and what m
argumentl On the same + rinciple, Kauf-
man might contend for Dallas, or Gilmer
for Jefferson, and 30 Of every other local
ity in the State. Is 1t to be supposed that
the welfare of the whole people lie to be
discarded for the special benefit Of any
little village that wants to add TO its inn
portance by being near the Capital? Shall
the people Of Texas be taxed million Of
money just now, when they are grooming
under the heavy weight of radical imposi.
tons, to give Palestine, or any other less
holy place, q little more ssprominence p
Aud yet this IS the character of nearly
every argument submitted TO an intelli-
gent people for disturbing the present 10.
cation Of the Capital. Trouble, confusion,
debt and taxation must all be incurred
for the sake Of supposed advantage to
some ambitious and selfish little town,
that would swell up like the frog in the
fable.
