me FINANCE Committee.


The special committees of both Houses
of the Legislature now confering upon the
best means to secure a healthy financial con-
dition is body of able men, and we have
good reason to believe they will perfect a
bill meeting ell the difficulties of the situa-
ton, and place our State finance on sound
and permanent basis. None are Ignorant
of the very low and disorganized condition
of our State Treasury, nor is it an important
question how this state of affairs was pro-
duced, or even who is to blame for either a
positive or negative performance of duty.
As far as the work of these Legislators on
finance is concerned, these are dead issues, or
if alive, belong to some other branch OF
State government.
These Lawmakers have but one great
problem before them, and we hope and be-
lieve they will not let side issues divert
them from its successful solution. II the
members of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives wish to immortalize themselves,
whatever else they may or may not have
done, let them draft finance bin that
shall meet and fulfill all the indications OF
our State finances. and that wish will be more
than gratifed. They will richly deserve al
honor and praise from a people not slow tc
bestow either when Justly deserved.

UsurIOus Interest.

On Wednesday, Col. c. VI. Winkler pre-
scented the following resolution in the House
Resolution proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the State
Section XLIV, of Article MI, General
Provisions shall hereafter read as follows
Section A. The distinction between legal
and conventional interest shall be recOg-
nized, and on all written contracts ascer-
tainingt the sum due, interest shall be TAKEN
recovered and allowed at the rate of eight
per cent. per annum. in the absence of any
agreement as to the rate of interest; pro
vided, That the parties may agree in writing
for any other rate of interest, not to exceed
twelve per cent. per annum-this section to
relate prospectively from the day of final
ratification.
The resolution passed its first reading,
and there seems but little doubt that it will
be put into such form as to go before the
people to meet their Judgment at the next
election. 1t certainly seems necessary that
such a law as the resolution proposes should
become part of our organic law. We
think that the measure should at once re-
ceive the favorable consideration of the
Legislature. The public certainly needs it.

The Western Stock Journal, published at
Pleasanton, Atascosa county, gives the fol-
lowing account of an adventure:
About the 9Th of the month, Mexican
killed an Indian at fuckers pasture, six
miles from the SesteaderO. The Mexican
twas horse hunting. and the first intimation
he had of the presence of Indians, was q
volley fired at him from the dense under
brush. A bullet struck the horse in the
flank and the animal fell. The Indians
made a rush to secure the prize but the
Mexican, disengaging himself from the
trappings of the saddle, in which he had
become entangled in the fall, had barely
time to place his fourteen-shooter to his
shoulder and fire upon the advancing band.
The foremost fell, and his comrades betook
themselves to flight. After the field was
evacuated, the Mexican secured the Indian
horse and accoutrements and then carefully
removing Sir Los scalp, ears and all, he
returned to the SesteaderO, bearing with
him the bloody trophy of his gallant
exploit

A meeting of Democrats took place last
night in the Hall of Representatives, to take
into consideration the time and place OF
holding the next Democratic State Conven-
ton. Many were in favor of Austin, many
in favor of Galveston and some of Houston.
Resolutions were presented to hold the con-
vention in both Galveston and Austin, but
were withdrawn. Some time in August
was suggested for holding the convention,
and the only objection made to converting
it in a coast city was on account of the sea-
son. The generosity and hospitality OF
Galveston was acknowledged on all hands

Col. Joel W. Robinson, of Fayette county,
is spoken of as a very suitable man for the
position of Lieutenant Governor. The Col.
was member of the State Legislature in
1859 and 1860, and has been in the State
since he was boy; was in the battle of San
Jacinto, and was the soldier who captured
General Santa Anna, and brought him to
General Sam Houston's headquarters, on
that memorable occasion.

M of our exchanges throughout the
State are wantingto know what has become
'',fence law. The bill to require farm
ers only to fonre against small stock, has
passed both Houses of the Legislature, but
the one to do away with all fences in coun-
ties where two-thirds of the voters favor
the proposition, has not yet become law.

Senator Finlay has been making Il vigor-
Gus war upon the appropriation bill The
structures he made upon the Land Office,
whether proof of them was presented or not,
certainly have foundation, and, in our iudg-
ment, were we'll merited. The Land
Office, and we have it from those who are
well conversant in its workings, has become
simply field for prey for land-sharks and
robbers, who obtain constant possession of
the records, TO further the most nefarious
designs against innocent people.
The Senator took hold of these questions
in general, and dealt chain of most we'll
merited rebukes against the management
of the office. He also opposed the large
appropriations for the Blind and LunatiC
Asylums, on the ground that they were
unnecessary for their support, and that a
large salary was paid to the superintendent
of the former, and his family supported, at
. heavy expense, without corresponding ser
Vice. His attacks were we'll founded. and

good. Like the majority of the
Eyer, we thank these wrongs

Tbe Political Prospect.

Asa rule, w any poll 4

les S1sefs become corrupt, the truly great men
Q5ecome disguised, and either leave the
party and join some other, orlosing all hope
f-of Republican government, clamor for a
monarchy, or any other form for change.
There Is no reason why political party,
because it has been defeated by the opposi-
ton, should lose all hope of ever again OBJ
tanning control of the government. Indeed,
if it is party of principles instead of con-
sequences, as is the Democratic party, and
its principles still survive its tenn
porary defeat, these are the very
strongest reasons why it should
again, gaining strength from its slumber,
and with its principles revived and re-ani-
mated as they spring again from the hearts
of the people, become the dominant and
controlling party. But if, as the Republi-
can, it loses its honesty and integrity, to-
gether with its principles, in the hour of its
success, no such vain hope can be enter
tanned. It's success was the accomplish
ment of its principles; and ever since it has
--6nIy been kept together and kept in power
by the cohesion of public plumber.
This is the condition of the Republican
party to-day, and the people have become so
disguised with its corruptiOns and outrages,
that they are anxious for a change, indeed,
it is demanded, and will shortly come. The
people are becoming tired Of its reckless
and extravaganza, and are signing for
honesty, economy and purity of Dem
bic administration. The great far-see-
6nglstatesman of the Republican party, who
have ridden upon the top wave, and hith-
erto guided the political tempest, have des-
cried the rock of destruction in the dis
lance, and feeling their own inability to
guide and direct the element which
,they put in motion, are seeking
own safety in flight. On the
