GENERAL w. Il. CAREs.I..

diols in the late 'unpleasantness,n OF
whom there are n host in this state,
will rejoice to learn that he has been

the people there, as his old "Texas
Brigade" which he led with distin-
guished gallantry at the battle of Cor

northern Texas, and they gladly well
coined among them as Il citizen their
former military chieitain. In common
with all of "Old Tige's' friends in Ar

plant election. His administrative

The above compliment to General
Cabell Is the more to be appreciated |
because 1t comes from confederate

such men to officers of high rank is
worth more than the eulogies of wri-

THE INTERNATIONAL RAILROAD
QUESTION.

The following is a brief synopsis OF
the debate in the Texas state senate
which took place on Thursday last, on
the international railroad question, as
reported to the Galveston News:
Mr.. Culberson said there was much
difference of opinion existing upon
these bonds, and he considered the con-
dition precedentrequiring the supreme
court TO decide was good provision.
1t was important to state that the mat
tiers involved in this question should be
finally and amicably adjusted in spirit
of liberality and compromise, and there
was an abiding prejudice entertained
on this question by the public. He
traced the origin of the question, from
the passage of the bill chartering the
company through all its notifications
to the present time. Some thought the
legislature chartering the road extraor-
binary in character, but, it was such
as was required. In spirit of compro-
mise, the company proposed to leave
the, matter to the fbitrament of our
own supreme court. He believed that
he honor of the people of Texas was
involved, because In 1870 the legisla-
ure contracted with the company on
he basis of $4,000 per mile. II the
upreme court should decide that the
