DURING the discussion, In the Texas
House Of Represcntatlv Of the appropri-
alton for the State police, Mr.. Kembls, Of
Ellis, said he could not recommend the
payment OF the police, either for their pas,
or future services. His acquaintance with
them was rather limited, as they had only
made three trips to his section. The Srs'
was to rob Col. Gathings Of three Thousand
dellarsi the second to oversee an eleeiisa
for which they charged the county fear
teen hundred dollars the third, TO murder
one Of our citizens, Jack Mitchell. Teey
went TO his house at the dead hour u
night, and hailed him in the name 81 the
sheriff, and when Mr.. Mitchell appeared
at the door, he was shot down by them
without any provocation. For these res-
sons Mr.. Kcmblc would oppos any appro.

Letter from Mansfield.

MANSFIELD, Tarrant CO., Texas.
To. tho Editor of the Dallas Herald.
Your very ably conducted paper has all
ways been devoted to the best interests Of
North Western Texas. The education Of
our youth is not among the least of these
interests. Your thriving city has received
lately, among its permanent citizens,
members of families with children
to educate. The parents realize,
now that the first excitement Of locat-
ing business is over, that there are temp
tations, Interruptions, &C., attending city
schools, which almost nullify the advsn-
tages sometimes gained. They naturally
dread separation for such distances and
times as the schools with which they are
acquainted would make necessary. BY
this communication they can be informed
that only 25 miles from Dallas is a char
tered institution, where youths, Of both
sexes may toll tor and receive the degree
of A. NJ. 1t is under tho charge of Rev.
John Collier, with three assistant profess
sors. The village is very small. The few
residents are here mostly to furnish homes
for the scholars, for the institution is yet
in its infancy. Buildings are scarce and
incomplete. One thing the citizens did, in
the beginning of the enterprise, was to pass
law that no place for selling liquors or
gaming could be established within sever :
al miles Of the place.
The country south is fine prairie, affording
good farms. The Village is nestled on the
southeast skirts of the middle GROSS tim
bers, which are eight to ten miles wide, af-
fordng considerable protection from the
"northers," and furnishing old-fashioned
roaring winter fires. AS to health, the
place is not entirely free from tho nas-
matte changes that belongs to this latitude
but they are light compared with other
nlaces. Such nm institution deserves Il
live, for the purpose of its founding was t.
benefit those who are the present hope and
the future dependence CT our country. Tc
your citizens it affords convenient, COM
Portable school, thorough in its teachings
accessible in few hours ride, and avoid.
ing the expense of city schools at q long
distance from home.
1t seemed worthy of passing motto,
among tho other improvements of this
rapid growing country, and, therefore
| beg small corner of your journal t,
hold it. II. s.

To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen Of
the City Of Dallas:
GENTLEMEN--Though receiving
no official notice of the fact, | see
by the Dallas HERALD of the 23d
inst, that your honorable body has
passed some sort of censure on me
in relation to the amended city
charter. | do not deny your right
to do so. [ am only responsible to
the whole people of Dallas, as a
city, and, in a considerable sense,
to the people of tho county, for my
acts in this matter. tried to do
what thought would most benefit
the people. IF ! have failed, | am
sorry for it, and am brave enough
to correct any wrong | have ever
done, or do in the future.
NOW, | make the following prop.
osition toyou:
First--Call n private meeting of
the people of the city of Dallas, let
Mayor Long preside, assisted by a
citizen as Vice President and an.
other as Secretary.
Second-Let the charter all be
first read. Then read the charter
section by section, and let the peo-
pie adopt or amend it to suit thom-
selves. Have each amendment
carefully drawn by n competent
person ors committee, and, when SO
arranged, let the amendments so
desired by the people be sent to me
as soon as possible, and | will get
them passed by the Legislature.
Here, gentlemen, is a plain and
fair proposition to ascertain and
carry out the will of the people,
whose will | shall always obey, or
resign my seat.
The pretonse that | desired to

continued the present Mayor and
Board in office till April, 1874, four
months longer than they were
elected for. OF course the clause
changing the words does not apply
until the next general election in
April, 1874.
l have no doubt but tho act has
various defects, which time will, re-
veal but they can be corrected at
any time by the Legislature.
1.-THE people want to DO taxed

will carry out their will with

could to reform bad laws and re
duce the burthens of taxation on

have to work under great Difficult

relief and reform but the House
is only one of three parties in

and whenever the people ofthe

become dissatisfied with my acts, |

FIEE.-On Monday night the northern
part of the city was Illuminated by most
unnatural brightness, spreading alarm IN
all directions. 1t was, however, soon as
certained, to proceed from the burning of
the extensive mills Of Cyrus Young, Esq /.
in Lawrence township, a corner Of which
is within q mile of the city limits. The
destruction of the mills was complete
not q dimes worth of anything being
saved. The fire commenced with 3 small
dwelling in close proximity to the mills,
which was also destroyed. Independent
of the loss on the dwelling there cannot
be less than $40, COO on the mills, the con-
tents beng uninsured. The loss on the
mills and machinery is insured to the
amount of 5000 In responsible compa-
MES. Mr.. Young's loss on grain unln-
sured, and the excess IN value of the mills
over the insurance cannot be below So, 600.

A Workingmen's or Farmers Conven-
ton was held in the Court House. The
call had been numerously signed by men
of both parties, and considerable interest
was manifested. The convention organized
at IL a. m. by calling Henry Au to the
chair and appointing General R. Brinker-
hoff as Secretary. Committees on perma-
nent organization, resolutions, and on or
der of business, were appointed, and the
meeting adjourned until one o'clock. At
ter the opening of the afternoon session,
permanent organization was effected by
calling John G. Walker to the chair and
General Brinkerhof was continued as
Secretary. The different committees re-
ported. The report of the Committee on
Resolutions denounced the present politi-
cal organizations as corrupt and unworthy
of confidence, repudiating the salary grab
and increase of salary, the Credit Mobi-
lier, railroad, Congressional and all other
rings, the donations of public lands, and
extolling free trade as reform on which
hangs our National prosperity. After a
full discussion of the resolutions it was
evident the convention could not agree,
especially upon the tariff question, and
finally, on motion of General Brinkerhof,
the platform was laid upon the table for
consideration by the delegate Convention,
when it should assemble on the 23d inst.

On Tuesday morning, while engaged at work
on Mr. LippSrt's new building, carpenter by the
name of Louis Halter, accidentally fell from the
joies on the third story to the second, distance
OF about fifteen feet but fortunately escaped
without serious injury. In the afternoon Of the
same day, and while young man named Jen
Young was at work in the basement Of the same
building q tab that had been used for hoisting
brick to the third stery, became loosened from the
ropes to which it was attached and fell through
the secsnd and third stories to the basement,
striking Young upon the head and knocking him
down. The tub happened to be empty at the
time and he escaped without further injury than
A bad cut on the head. At the time Of this acci-
dent, Mr.. Lippert, who was standing by, went to
the assistance of Young and had just got to him
when q hatchet fell from the upper story and
came within . hairs breadth Of striking him
upon the shoulder.
On the same afternoon, during the shower,
while Fred Herbruck, and two or three others,
were standing upon temporary wooden plat
form that had been built from the pavement to
the store door of Herbruek 4 Kaufman, the plat
form gave way tumblins Ar. HerbrUck into the
basement and throwing the others cut upon the
pavement: None of the party were seriously in
jured.
on wednesday afternoon, one Of the wheels on
the tender Of the engine attached to the train
known the Dutch Local" broke down. while
they were engaged in shifting at our station
causing that train to lay here until late in the
evening for another engine,
