After passing the House. the bih provid-
ing for constitutional convention was
taken up in the senate on Thursday, and
indefinitely postponed, by a vote Of Il ayes
to Il nays. The Democratic Senators vot-
ing for the postponeinent we're Broughton,
Cole, Latimer Pyle, sayers and Shelley.
II has been charged by some Of the
friends Of a constitutional convention,
that Senator Shelley voted for the indie
finite postponemeat OF the bin on account
Of q fear that it would again bring
about discussion Of the location of the seat
Of government. THIS Is not 50. Senator
Shelley fatty denies being actuated By any
such motive He opposed it simply upon
the grounds Of inexpediency. We and the
majority Of Senator Shelley's constituency
think differently from him on this subject,
but are inclined to extend him credit for
conscientious motives upon this ques-
tion. Had it been purely party question
and his vote had been necessary TO carry the
resolution, we have no doubt Senator Shell
ley would have given up his own impress
sions TO effect it. Though it seems abso-
lutely necessary that convention should be
called to reform the present nature of our
laws from their very root, there are many
in the Democratic party who think the
course a dangerous one.

One Of the engineers on this road kindly
gives Us the following information of the
progress now being made We shall be
very glad to hear from him often as the
work progresses, for this is undoubtedly now
the most important railroad under con
struction in any part of the world Many
millions of dollars will have to be ex-
pended in our State before it crosses our
western boundary. Independent Of all the
other great advantages attending this inter-
oceanic thoroughfare through our State, we
look upon it as by far the best and most
effectual defense we have ever had against
the Indians that have perpetrated their
deeds Of murder and plunder upon our citi-
zens for so many years:
GRAYsoS COUNTY, March 30.
EDS. NEws-The grading on the south
ern Dallas division of the Texas and Pa
ciic Railroad, under charge Of Major W. r.
Olcott. IS rapidly approaching completion
and tTack-laying has commenced in good
earnest.
Construction trains are now running be-
yond- White Rock creek, and track-laying
progresses at the rate Of half mile 3 day
The iron is arriving by the X. & T. c. r.
R., and a force Of fifty men are engaged
laying It. In a few DAYS this force viii
be increased. The cars to be used BY the
track force viii soon be sent TO the front
and then the iron viii be h,id al the rate Of
mile per day. IN case of no delay that may
be caused by the non-arriyal Of material.
The grading Of this division IS completed
fifty miles east Of Dallas. In consideration
Of the great press Of business at the opening
of this division last October, and the great
extent Of work to be laid of for scores Of
contractors ready and on the ground, much
credit is due Major w. r. 0lcott, under
whom the work has progressed and con-
tinues to progress 50 rapidly. Fhe CON-
pany' round house at Dallas is now build

Gen. G. ". Gordon, Of fTcnnessee, has been
spending some time in Texas in the interest
Of the University Publishing Company
Gen. ]. Z. Gordon, who has also been IN
terested in this concern, and who has just
left here. feels a deep interest in the adop-
ton IN Our schools Of the model series Of
school books known as the university
series. He has been doing all in his p5S'cr
70 bring these worthy publications into
use. ard i Is hoped they win soon be gen
orally adopted. These wos,.a are the con
tributions Of the bess authors and teachers
Of the country, men who have the educa-
tion Of our youth deeply at heart, and who
in fact, have devoted their lives to tho pur-
poses Of education.
The Houston Telegraph, in speaking Of
the visit Of Gen. G. W. Gordon to this
State, speaks Of his enterprise as follows:
'.He visits Texas with view Of intro
ducing into our schools the series of books
written by the professors OF the University
Of Virginia. ana issued by the University
Publishing Company, of which he is repre-
sentative We bespeak for Gen. Gordon
the good offices Of our citizens and hope he
may have the greatest success in his under
taking We hail it as an auspieious omen
when comparative effort in the South be-
gins to be feature in her business projects
and especially in the field of literature, the
influence of which is so far reaching and
abiding. By all means let us have school
books published in the South. or those
equally free from the partisaa prejudices
which should never obtain in such works.
Many that are now being used are more or
less characterized by reflections which are,
and ever viii be, held as rank heFesies at
the South, and it behooves those in author
ity, especially in our public schools, in or
der to remove every stumbling block out of
the way of the entire public school system
to see to it that no books be introduced
that are at all Objectionable on this score.
We sincerely hope that for the good of the
State, as well as for the company which
Gen. Gordon represents, he may have such
measure of success in his enterprise that he
may at least have no cause to regret having
visited Texas"

Yesterday the Committee on Privileges
and Elections reported on the contested
election case of Patrick V. Randle. from the
Fifteenth Senatorial District. Patrick's
contest was based entirely upon the ground
that Randle could not legally, as a resident

tor. fhe- committee reported the case in
favor of thecontestee, as it had been salts
factorily proven that he was legally quail
fed as to residence. The resolution, that
the contestee be declared the legally electsd d
senatorfrom said district, was unanimously
adopted.

Governor DAVIS, in his veto message, says
, there is nearly three hundred thousand dol
lars Of the available school fund in the
Treasury. What a blessing this amount
would be to those who need it, and to
whom it belongs. Why is it that this large
amount Of money must be withheld from
the needy teachers, when their salaries are
due theml He says that there is some
thing very supicious. about it. and truly
there is something very suspicious about
the veto. Docs he intend to handle the
money to his profit now, and keep it for use

INTERESTING DEcIsIoNs.-In the SUI
preme Court of the United States, in a case
from Wisconsin, the court gave it as its
opinion that railroads arc public highways,
no matter whether they are built and oper-
ated by the State or private corporations; !;
and that the building of railroads is there
fore a matter of public concern, to aid
which it is just as Constitutional to levy a
tax as for the building of wagon road or
any other public work, and the collection of
these taxes cannot be resisted by authority
of article five of amendments to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which provides
that private property shall not be taken for
public use without just compensation.
Another decision of the same tribunal the
same day, was that common carriers cannot
be required to know the contents of pack
ages not particularly described by the ship
pers. This suit was against an express
company in whose charge there had been a
box of nitro-glycerine when it exploded
and ruined building. OF course the ex-
press company had no damages to pay.
