The Austin correspondent Of the
Mexia Ledger proposes to solve the
difficulty about amending the consti-
tuition of the State in the following
manner. AS o compromise between
the conventionists and anti-conven-
tionists, there may be some merit in
the suggestions: 4N n@oc Il Z
/ and quite a number of persons who
favor q proposition of this sort, viz:
That the house shall elect five persons
learned In the law, the senate an equal
number and ths governor an equal
number, whose duty 1t shall be to draft
Constitution and submit it to the peo-
pie, to be voted upon as soon as prac-
tieable. 1t is claimed by the friends of
this scheme, that In whatever manner
submitted to the people, or in whatever
way gotten up, a constitution ratified
and adopted by the vote of thepeople is
the organic law of the State; this is
doubtless the case, and there are prece-
dents in the case of Tennessee and
Michigan for making and submitting
a constitution In this manner. The
p0ssessors of this measure claim that
1t is more expeditions and cheaper
than the fundamentally of constitu-
tional convention. The constitution
itself Is silent about the mode of maxi
ing new constitution, and provides
only for changes in the organic law by
way of amendments. Thcre are many
Others who favor the call of a constitu-
tionai convention, because this is one
ofgthe usual and recognized modes of
effecting changes in the organic law.

THE Democratic Statesman of the
9th instant, In the course OF an article
on the Indebtedness Of the State and
the restoration OF public confidence
consequent upon the accession Of the
new administration, gives the sub
joined encouraging account of the
appreciation in value of the States

While the people are full Of hope,
money-cver senstive-als0 begins To
display It's confidence. This can be
regarded us the most perfect evidence
of good arising from the present adj
ministration. Two weeks since state
warrants were begging upon the streets
at from sixty-flvc to seventy cents on
the dollar During the last two days
tlley have been sold as high up rs
eighty cents, and bankers claim that
even under the uniavorable condition
of State treasury, they will soon
reach u higher valuation. Such con-
lfidence Is tuly gratifying. IL comes,
too entirely voluntary, without any
bidding for II on the part of the gov
eminent. No financial bill has been
passed by the Legislature, nor any
pal ticular one agreed upon The num-
Der Of outstanding warrants are q little
short of five hundred Thousand dollars,
and II Is well known that enough
money has already been collected 10y

are at present controlling thesettlement
OF accounts at tho conptroller's Office,
or the paying out of money at the
treasury. There will be no induce
ments, as formerly, for Withholding
settlements, and consequently under q
rigid enforcement of rules ut the comp
trOller's Office, the money will now
begin to reach the treasury at the time
required. Such are some of the rea-
sons why warrants are SO rapidly inn
proving in value,
\ No financial bill has been passed,
and still II is believed, after the most
mature deliberation on the part Of the
Legislature, that one of n reasonable,
Just and feasible character will be
adopted. What II will be no one as vel

of three eminent citizens in no way connect

received the notice yesterday, and this

ut which we could give IL publicity,

of the towns might meet and act on

nifty cannot, and they are as much In

course wish to Sibe distinctly under

g{BAcK From AUSTIN.

After weeks stay in Austin we are
again at home. During our stay but
little was done by the Legislature,
owing to very inclement weather and
the festivities connected with the
inaugural ball--a monster assemblage
of ladies and gentlemen from all parts
of the State.
No one acquainted with government
affairs at Austin, since Throckmorton
was struck down in 1867, can now
visit the capital without feelings Of
relief, .exhilaration and PRIDE Even
the'colored people seem delighted with
the change. No sentinel stands armed
atGoyernor sCokesdoor, nor portertc
carry in your card while you wait fol
permission to enter the sanctum. But
as in the days Of Henderson, Ho,is.
ton, Rtnnels and all governors,
elected by the people, the humblesi
man in the State simply turns the door
knob and enters the peoples house, In
which the peoples servant, Governor
Coke, keeps his efllce.. All are received
politely and each takes bis "turnp IN
business interviews. The land office
is being rapidly transformed from its
bedlamitish disorder into system and
harmony. One old citizen, Colonel
Dalrymple, of Williamson, on leaving
the office, said to us-"why, already,
in three weeks,th change Is like sun.
shine after dark night" and SO every
one feels.
In nil the, departments experienced,
polite and honorable men have been
selected as clerks, and order is steadily
springlng from chaos. Men of the
people are now Installed IN all the de-
partments, exceptingthatof education,
in which" DeGress, the appointees

Loeher, by consent, remains for q few
weeks as Immigration agent, but is
ready at any moment to surrender the
office. His successor, H. is understood,
will be that old patriot, General Jerome
b. Robertson, ofWashington. yea
We found Captain Deberry, the new
secretary Of State, withwhom we had
no previous acquaintance, to be in
every respect the man for the place,
and learned that for twenty years he
stood at the head of the bar in Pamela
ceunty-an able lawyer, a good citizen
and withal, man who never touches
liquor. He reminded us that Mr.. j.
