GLAD TrpIEGs.

The glad tidingH Of great JOY
heralded in our Yesterdays issue
bring consolation TO tho hearts
made SICK By dcferred hope, and the
SOLICITORS and anxious constituents
of n well chosen Legislature have
great cause 10 rejoice that the
pledges of their representatives arc
kept That the roar Of Edmund !.
has been hushed, and tho loud
voice of the friends of the plum
dcred and oppressed Taxpayers
strikes terror tc the foul hearts OF
his police pets, and proclaims their
doom above tho trembling whine
Of their keeper. The people may
indeed rejoice that our State ha'
been freed from the band Of vaga-
bonds, cut-throats, and robbors,
who commissioned by the corrupt,
unscrupulous officials heretofore
holding high carnival at our capt.
tai, have robbed, pilldged and mar'
dered throughout the State, with
total disregard to the rights OF
man, and in boastful defiance to
tho majesty Of Heaven.
The horrible "la,rlessness and
crime" heretofore 30 prevalent in
our midst, will now recede from the
land, since the stronghold of Davis
pets is taken, and the protecting
wing of the police law will no long.

"a misnomer for thieves were
sent among us in the dark
hour of a raging storm, and as our
| ship rocked to and fro in the whirl-
ing political commotion, to darken
our only light house by awning mon
from exercising the privileges OF
the ballot-box. But, with clear
headed, fearing men at our
helm, we trust that our ship OF
State may majestically pillow
through the waves Of tempestuouf
strife, and anchor firmly upon the
| Constitution of '76.
The police law is no more; but
let this goodly-begun work 60 on
| until the last vcstige of all such
outrageous, tyrannical enactments
are swept from our statute books
and Texans again allowed te
breathe the much-coveted air Of
| freedom.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Long and anxiously we have
waited to see the promised i'm
provement in our public school sys-
TEN, and we rejoice that indica-
tons now are favorable, and that
we are soon to be rid of tho can't
ing herds of hypocritical, corrupt
ed, negro-loving adventures,
imported from tho most damnable
haunts of Northern cities, who, su-
thorized by the political pamphlet,
improperly called aschool law, have
end Favored to diffuse, from the res
ervoirs Of ignorance, the waters OF
sin and political corruption ever
the best interests Of society.
The schools, It's true, have in
many instances been productive Of
good results; but We doubt not
that such were conducted by those
clear-headed, honest hearted teach
ers, who turned a deaf ear to the
prating officials, and strove to pre-
vent the common school becoming
a mere vehicle for the disssmina
ton Of State politics and the sickly
sentimental dogmas Of carpot-bag

THE COURT HOUSE.

Yesterday we published the Of
fetal vote on the proposition to
finish the Court House, showing a
majority of one Thousand and
thirty-six in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. We are not surprised at the
result of the election; but should
have been sadly disappointed
had it been otherwise. This has
for some time beon o vexed ques-
ton, and we are aware that many
of our best citizens were originally
opposed to building so large a
house, But whether or not it WAS
best to build so large house was
not the question under considera-
ton last Monday. The County
Court considered themselves the
Judges of this matter, and contract
ed for the building of a stone
Court House, 66x120 feet, two
stories high, to DO finished off in
suitable style; and in pursuance OF
this contract the building was be-
gun, the first story was completed
with all the petition walls, vaults,
&C., the ioists we're laid for the
second floor, and large quantity
of rock was hauled on the ground,
about which time it appeared that
our Honorable Court had ''reck-
oned without their host" The
m oney failed, the work stopped,
and forty thousand dollars was
locked up in unfinished walls,
perfectly useless to any one. fH
But our Justices, still anxious
to finish the work they had begun,
ordered, by virtue of supposed an
thority, an election, to see whether
or not the people Of this county
desired that bonds should be is
sued for this purpose. The prac-
tical citizens of our county Jaw
that this was the only way to com.
plete the house without 1evying o
tax greater than they were able to
pay; and, though many of them
as we before stated, thought the
house larger than necessary, yet
in as much as it had been begun
and nearly two-thirds completed
| they at once saw that the best
thing that could now be done wal
to complete the bailding according
to the original design consequent
" the bonds waro voted.
But upon examination of the
law governing the case it turned
out that the County Court had nc
authority to issue bonds without
a special act Of the Legislature
Consequently a petition was gotter
up and signed by large number
of citizens and forwarded to oul
able Representative; special bill
wss passed giving the authority
prayed for, and every one naturally
supposed that the County Cour'
would proceed at once to issue the
bonds, which had been SO long de
layed for want Of this authority
But il appears that a great reform
alton had taken place in that hon
orable body, and those who were &C
bold to begin work which they
had not the means TO finish, and
without knowing whether or not il
was in accordance with their con
stituents, are now too timid 70 conf-

keeps itself fresh and active by constant

Very soon the parties yield to the sense
OF possession, and the feeling of security

new loves, new friendships take root in our af.

choicest rccesses. the friends, the loves of long
