All mail subscribers to the DAILY or

That, on and after January /, we, and not
hey, arc required by the new postage law to
pay the postage on the papers sent to them.
At the same time a reduction is made in the
amount required, SO that, whereas they
have paid heretofore thirty cents per quar-
ter, or one dollar and twenty cents per year,
they will hereafter be required to pay only
fifteen cents a quarter, or sixty cents per
year-a difference of just one-half. This
sum hereafter must be sent us with remit
tances for the daily. If years subscrip-
ton is sent, add sixty cents for postage; if
six months, add thirty cents; if three
months, add fifteen cents. Each subscriber
to the WEEKLY STATESMAN must send fifteen
cents in addition to the regular subscrip.

shall be obliged to reduce the time for
which the paper is sent by the necessary

TRR LRGIsLATURR AND THE CON
VRNTION.

If any doubt tLat the fate Of Austin and
San Antonio are involved In the action of
the Legislature, it is only necessary to scan
a map Of Texas. A great railway line de-
signed to bridge the continent from New
York and Norfolk, and from Charleston to
Mszatlan, crossing almost at right angles
the Texan railway system, will be finished
or destroyed, as the Legislature wills
Texan lawgivers may not always prove 10
be statesmen, but never towards. They
dare not evade the discharge of plain
duty, and still less would they thrust upon
the shoulders of Others a responsibility es-
pecially entrusted to themselves. The con-
stitutional convention will not be created
in order 10 make laws affecting ephemeral
questions of public policy. 1t will not at
tempt to tie the hands of future bodies of
lawgivers as wise as themselves, and GER
tainly having clearer and juster apprehen-
sions Of their own necessities than Consti-
tution-menders Of to-day. The convention
will wisely confne itself to the simple duty
of creating a pure republican government
for Texas, and, beyond this, restricting pop
ular power in nothing. This last is the
proper function Of the Legislature which
adapts country's code to progressive events
and to the demands of progressive popular
wealth and intelligence. Such combinations
may be made by railway mOnopolists that
the absolute existence of towns and cOun-
ties may depend the construction of rail
way, and the Legislature or courts
should never be denied the power
to grant corporate rights indispensable
to success, and counties and towns
should be suffered, when a great public
necessity exaets it, to become shareholders
in railway corporations. The more rigidly
conservative the coming convention the
more will its names and deeds, in long fu-
ture years, be honored, and the longer will
the product of its toll endure. He is wisest
of government trainers who leaves it, as it
should leave the citizen, the freest possible
As that government is best which governs
least, so is that Constitution best which,
assuring tue SAISLenCc Vi PeIISCC IeFuD-
lie, leaves legislation freest. Ephemeral
questions do not concern reformers of Con-
stitutions, and it should never be forgotten
that each generation Is best capable of con-
forming codes to its own necessities and to
the demands of the worlds tireless pro.
gress. Most absurd, therefore, as we'll as
cowardly, is that proposition of cores
pondent which involves the transfer of the
determination of the rights and fortunes of
the International Railway Company to the
forum of the convention. Let the Legisla-
ture discharge its own proper tasks, and the
convention viii have quite enough to do
when il gives perfectly organized repub-
lican system of government to the people of
Texas

stolen cattle are driven into Mexico, and
sold publicly, and Gen. Cortina is one Of
the principal purchasers. He has paid four
dollars per head for fine beeves. The au-
thorities deal unfairly with Americans go
ing there to claim their property. They
copied the brand of Auastasio Cavasos so as
to defraud him. They do not respect the
provisions Of treaties, and shield the rob
bers in every possible way. Tie goods
taken from stores by the raiders upon the
Olmos were sold publicly at Old Reynosa
and at other places in Mexico, and no effort
was made to conceal the felonious manner
in which they were acquired.
The people Of the lower Rio Grande have
asked for protection. Should these facts
be placed before the Legislature as they
will be, It is not probable it will refuse

sustained by so many considerations affect

DEATH OF ID. G. BYERLY AT THE
HANDS OF WARMOTHH.

A special to the STATESMAN, from New
Orleans, says that D. G. Byerly, whose col
lision with Ex-Governor Warmoth has
already been referred to. was more terribly
wounded than at first supposed. He died
night before last at 10 o'clock, in the forty
eighth year of his age. He was Pennsyl-
vaniAn by birth, printer by trade, and came
to New Orleans more than twenty years ago.
He served calamity through the late war in
Shields's Louisiana regiment, and was
wounded four times on the same day at At
lanta. One of these wounds deprived him
OF the use Of his right arm. For some time
he was clerk of the first district court,
until, some months ago, he began the pub
LEGATION Of the Bulletin, a straight Demo-
cratic newspaper, properly waging relent-
less war upon warmoth and other adven-
turers who have desolated Louisiana.
The difficulty between Byerly and War
moth grew out Of the controversy between
warmoth and the Bulletin, which led to the
publication on Friday by Warmoth OF q
card addressed to the manager of the Bale
tin, rejecting upon that paper and Mr..
Jewell, one of its editors. Gov. WarmOth
to-day made the following statement about
the difficulty to the agent Of the Associated
Press:
yesterday, after my card appeared in
the PioaVuas. was called on by friend Of
Mr.. Jewell, who demanded Of me au abject
apology for the card, which declined TO
make. He then asked me il / would accept
4 challenge TO fight q duel remarking, az
the same time, that il was generally under
stood would not fight. replied that 1
would not fight, II could as well avoid It /;
that was not fighter, and that il would
be time enough TO answer the question
about dueling when was challenged. La
ter in the day the affair was confided 20 our
respective friends. They met at O'Clock
last evening and agreed that Jewell and
myself should fight in Alabama on Monday,
weapons, dueling pistols; distance. ten
paces. These terms having been accepted,
/ did not, Of course, apprehend an attack,
especially from any one connected with the
Bs.llstia. Nv understanding Of such matters

TIE letter of our special CORES pondent
at Galveston will arrest attention Espe
cially l. the whole State interested in that
contamination, often discussed by the
STATESMAN, and referred to by our CORES
pendent, involving the extension of a
branch of the Southern Pacific through
Austin to the Gulf coast. The Austin and
Galveston branch is to be preferred to that
to New Orleans, because ours is the shorter
route 10 the sea. If the Galveston press
and that of Texas would at once present
these facts effectively to the country and to
Congress, the progress of Texas and of the
people and cities of Texas would be pro-
NOTED as never before.

PIG-IRON KELLY is not pig-headed on the
money question. He concurs with the West
and with most Southern political thinkers,
and would have bonds converted into green
backs; money made more abundant; COM
mercial activity restored; debts paid; rail
ways built; and not have everything sacrl-
feed to the few now holding the whole cir
culating wealth of the country, by holding
the time bonds of the government. On
nothing else, since these are untaxed, can
money be raised, and thus the bondholders
are the absolute masters of the country's
finances, of its fortunes and, we greatly
fear, of It's legislation at Washington.

Byeriy's wounds. Mr.. ByerIy received six
wounds IN the abdomen. Shortly after be-
ing wounded, Mr.. Byerly was removed to
the lnhrmary on Dauphin street.
In the Balletin Of tomorrow will be pub
llshed the statement of an eyewitness of
the Byerly-WRrmOth TencoutTe. The state
ment differs somewhat from that OF War
moth as tOthe cutting. This witness states
that the knife was open when down, and
that two or three stabs were made before
they fell Byerly's wounds were in the left
side, just over the hip, one Of them being
over four inches deep, and indicates the
length Of the knife blade.
