Ominous Figures.

The resolution passed by the City Coun-
ell giving the Mayor and City Attorney
three thousand dollars o year each, has
elicited q good deal Of comment, md is
generally dssapproved Of The Mayor
had tho casting vote which decided the
matter, Messrs. CASTOR and Lane being
absent, Messrs. Bryan, swink and Capy
voting against, and Messrs. Thevenet, Aus
tin and Cochran voting for it. Under
this arrangement the Mayor and City At
torney claim that they arc actually losing
money, their perquisites and salary per-
haps amounting to moro under the former
arrangement. Here then we have two
City officials drawing their pay in curren'
cy 1.-THE fHes out Of which ii comes being
generally paid In gree nbacks,) while thf
Marshal and police are paid their snlar lei
in city scrip, which Is worth about fifty
cents on the dollar. II IL were not fol
their perquisites as witnesses and the
Marshsl's fee Of one dollar for making
the arrest, the police and Marshal who DE-
most Of the work, would be in bad way
Is it fair then to pay part Of our officials
in currency and others principally in
scrip Can the city afford to pay 81,
thousand dollars year to two officials
Are not the sums larger than arc giver
elsewhere in places of the same size 2 BY
all means let our officials be sufficiently
paid for their services, but il reform ant
retrencbment are in order, this resolution
d oes not look like 1t.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT,

At meeting of Breckenridge Lodge, No
Sc, Independent Order of Good Templars,
held Jan. Sd, 1873, the undersigned were
Amounted o committee to draft resolutions
expressive of the feelings Of the Lodge on
the death Of Brother Samuel c. Skiles.
WHEREAS, in the dispensation Of Divine
and Overriding Providence, who disposes
all things for good TO those who love him,
one Of our members, in the bloom Of youth
and manhood, has been called to that
bourne from which no traveller returns,
therefore,
Resolped, That we receive with deepe ST
sorrow the news Of the death Of our be-
loved brother Samuel C. Skiles, worthy
member Of this Lodge, yet, we yield SUBJ
missively to the will Of One much wiser
than we, believing that our loss is his
eternal gain.
Resolned, That the deepest sorrow Of
our hearts 70 forth to the father, mother,
brothers and sisters Of our brother in the
loss Of their son and brother, and that we
tender TO them our most sincere sympathy
and profound respect.
Resolped, That in the death Of our broth
er we are foroibly admonished Of the un-
certainty of life and the certainty of death,
but should remember that I" the Lord gives
and the Lord takes away" and should be
ready to say, "blessed be His name"
Rssolved, That copy of these proceed
ings be furnished the family Of the de-
ceased and that they be spread upon the
journal Of this Lodge, and q copy fur
nished the Editor Of the Dallas Herald
with the request that the same be published
in the Herald.

The Connecting Railroad.

The "Memphis, Pine Bluff and shreve-

and Texas and Pacific railroads. The road
will be 800 miles in length, commencing
at Memphis, Tennessee, and passing
through Criitenden, St. Francis, Wood
ruff, Prairie, Jefferson, Dallas, Ounchita
and Columbia counties, Arkansas, inter-
sectipg the Memphis and Little Rock rail-
road at the town of Prairie Center, thence
in direct line TO Pine Bluff, thence to

portan lines Of railway in the South
west.
We take tho above from the San Diego
Union. This, when completed, will form
the Eastern outlet to the Texas and Pacific
Railway, thus forming an unbroken chain
of Railroad from tho Pacific TO the Allan
tic coasts.
There is norscheme, save it be that of
the Texas s. Pacific itself, that bears more
interest to the people of Texas, than does
this one. The names Of Colonel Scott, E.

the enterprise solid phase, the Directors

and from such knowledge, we are assured
that Success full and perfect will crown
tho enterprise. So mote 1t be.

Repeal the School Tax.

We ore not Of those who desire TO offer
our advice, unasked, to the present Legis-
lature, q body which we believed is pos
posed within itself Of probably as great
an amount Of talent as any ever occupying
the Represen tative Halls Of our State, but
there are some measures Of such vital in
terest and Importance to the people Of the
State that constant discussion of them
should be carried on in order that, by no
possibility should they be neglected BY our
Legislators. We now have in our minds
eye such q subject, and, one around which
clusters issues Of vital importance to the
people Of Texas, and one from which o
victorious Democratic party must not and
cannot shrink. We allude 10 the School
Law, and will endeavor to state some facts
and draw some conclusions from our state
ment. We leave cut for the present the
the question Of the legality or illegally Of
the one per cent. School Tax.
Tho fifth section Of the act providing for
the organization and maintainance Of the
public Free Schools Of this State puts II in
the power of the Directors Of the respec-
tive school districts to levy this taI,-it
has, We presume, In almost every county
in this State been levied and except in @
few localities where exceptionable Judges
we're TO be found, the tax has been collect
ed. Much Of this tsx,-by far the greater
pOrtion-vas levied upon the cOmpars-
lively poor people Of this State, who were
unable to resist the payment The wealthy
corporations, We believe, without ercep-
ton, and q great many wealthy individu-
ais have resisted its payment mp TO this
time. while the taxes collected from the
poorer classes have been used either for
legitimate purposes or to enrich unPriDci-
pl.d scoundrels and ndvsntursrs-it mat

in view.
