chaser for cash. This margin II much
greater In public than In private trans
actions, Let the calculation be made
Of the highest value that county bonds
would probably bring In the market,
then add ten per centum per annum
interest, and / venture the assertion
that for every bond OF one hundred
dollars issued, on All average not more
than fifty dollars would be realized,
yet the entire hundred dollars, with
the interest on II, would have TO be
paid In full by the tax payers. The
difference between the amount real
lied and the sum sufficient so pay the
bond I'm full, IL the price paid by the
county for the credit. AS n financial
transaction, certainly nothing short of
an absolute necessity can Justify II.
Power to raise Money by Issuing and
selling bonds, presents an inducement
to extravaganza which u necessity for
direct call upon the tax payer would
restrain, and when this extravagant
expenditure Is added to the price paid
for the privilege of raising money In
that way, IL would be seen how rapidly
the county indebtedness would in
crease. Under existing laws giving 10
such facilities for contracting debt the
Indebtedness of the counties In Texas
would aggregate very large amount
An amount 30 great, indeed, that
your honorable bodies now have under |
consideration bill requiring the debt
OF the various counties to be funded, |
The states of this union, especially
those of the northwest, are oppressed
with municipal and county debt 10
such an extent that taxation to meet
the interest is enormous, and most ops
pressive, all growing out Of the issu-
ance of bonds, and the facility for get.
ting money to be paid back in future,
would deprecate very much the in
auguration OF q policy which would
start Texas on the highway to results
now so much deplored by our neigh
bors. ! infinitely prefer that our county
courts should remain ignorant of any
ether mode Of raising money than by
taxation, and that the people should
know each year, through the taxes
they pay, whether their officers are eX-
travagant or economical.
II we pay as we so, we get the full
value OF our money, and at the same
time are independent. We can offer
no higher inducement to immigrants
than light taxes, and an assurance that
when they settle in Texas they are not
mortgaged for all time to bondholders.
If facilities and inducements for debt
and extravaganza are withheld Texas
will remain free from the mania every
where prevalent of growing too fast,
resulting finally in collapse, and her
growth and prosperity will be healthy, !
solid and enduring.
l can see no objection to this bill, If
the clauses authorizing bond issues are
stricken out.

ON Wednesday last, the governor
sent into the senate his veto message
on the bill to authorize county courts
to provide funds for building court
houses and jails and other improve
ments. The folio wing are his objec-
tions:
l recognize since the adoption of the
constitutional amendments, which for
bid special legislation, the necessity
for q general enactment On this sub
iect, which shall vest the power'in the
county officers, elected by the people,
to raise by taxation, when necessary,
the means to erect and keep in repair
public buildings. When we consider
how prone men are when invested
with power to use it, it would be seen
that, guarded as well as it may be,
such law is not unattended with dam
ger of abuse. The power to levy and
collect taxes is the highest attribute of
q sovereignty, and should not be dele
gated except hppn the clearest neces-
sity and under the most ample restric-
tions. | believe that the necessity ex-
lists for its delegation in this case, and
that this bill sufficiently guards the
grant against abuse, save and except
in sections seven, eight and nine,
which authorize the issuance of county
bonds. / believe that so long as the
actual expenditure is confined to the
amount levied and collected by taxa
ton from the people in any one year,
the sense of accountability to the peO-
pie will always restrain the county
court ffom a4travaganoei but that
when the county courts IRE authorized
to issue bonds which will necessitate
future taxation after. those composing
the court have, perhaps, ceased to be
officers, and the responsibility of pro-
viding for the payment Of the debt is
or may be dev0lved upon others, that
sense of accountability which Is
the surest guarantee of economy
and integrity is very much less
ened aud weakened. It is a
well known fact In every business that
there Is wide margin between cash
and credit. He who buys on credit
and gives his note, not only must pay
interest, but must pay more for tha
same article than Is paid by the pgr.

Marriage Of Cyrus w. Fields Daugh-
ter-A Fashionable "Crush.''

One OF the most magnificent private
weddings OF the season took place re-
Gently, at the residence of Mr.. Cyrus
w. Field, No. 1875 east Twenty-firs,
street (Gramercy park, the bride be-
ing his beautiful and accomplished
daughter, Miss Grace Field, and the
bridegroom, Mr.. Edward Lindley, of
this city. The event has been theme
of conversation in fashionable society
for several days past, aud the most ex-
trayagant expectations were enter
tanned regarding it, all of which were
fully realized. Nearly fifteen hundred
cards of invitation were issued, and all
the hair dressers In town had more
orders than they could fill.
The ceremony began at four o'clock,
at which hour Mr. Fields elegant resi-
dence was crowded with invited guests.
The residence of Mr., David Dudley
Field, next door, was connected by
means of Temporary corridors in the
rear, and both houses were deliberately
and most profusely decorated. The
floral ellishments Were more elab-
crate and expensive than have been
seen at any private entertainment this
season, with the single exception OF
the recent bachelors ball at Del
monico's. The ceremony was per-
formed under floral marriage bell.
The bride appeared in white satin,
exquisitely trimmed with lace and
trile. Her bridal wreath was OF orange
blossoms, from which depended long
lace veil. The exposition of toilets
was one of the finest, most extensive
and beautiful seen for many years.
The latest Paris fashions and styles
were illustrated to perfection, the gland
concentration of satins, silks, bro
cades, and embroidered muslins being
quite bewildering, as the display of
diamonds and other precious stones
was dazzling.
The wealth and fashion of New
York, as well as the refinement and
culture of its society, were better rep
sgsented than at any similar event this
Year.
Miss Field was the most beautiful
and graceful Of brides, She was self
possessed, and preserved charming
ease of manner throughout the some
what trying ordeal, aud was the cynO-
sure Of all eyes.
The bridal presents were estimated
to be worth half a million dollars, and
comprised articles of the greatest rarity
and value. TIE collection was far SUI
perior to that of many a royal bride in
Europe.
Outside In the streets all around
Gramercy park, were private carriages.

ANOTHER OF DAN DE OuuI's Yam

ANOTHER OF DAN DE QuILL's YARNs.-
Yesterday afternoon, at saloon on the
Divide, some men were discussing the
shooting affray which occurred during
the morning between two brothers-in-
law, Fallman and Ward, as mentioned
in another column. 1t was agreed on all
hands that it was shocking bad shoot
ing-a discredit to Washoe. At last a
Piocher bantered Comstocker whom he
knew to be fine shot with pistol to go
out into the back yard with him and do
some shooting, just to show the "boys"
how it should be done. In the saloon
was box of eggs, and what the Piocher
proposed was that they each shoot two
eggs of the bare head OF the other at the
distance of ten PAGES, the one missing to
treat the crowd. The Comstocker was
bound not to be bluffed by man from
the other end of the State, so to the back
yard all hands adjourned. Each man
used his own shooter. The Com
stocker first busted" his egg on the top
of the Piocher's head, which exploit was
loudly applauded by all present. 1t was
then the Piocher's turn to shoot, and an
egg was produced to be placed upon the
head of the Comstocker, but when he
removed his hat there was great laugh,
for the top Of his head was as smooth as
billiard ball For ten minutes all hands
tried in vain to make an egg stand on his
head. 1t couldn't be done. The
Piocher then tainted the Comstocker
with having gone into the arrangement
knowing that he was safe. The latter
told him to set up his egg and it was all
right--he was there. The Piocher went
into the saloon, and q moment after
came out with small handful of flour,
which he dabbed upon the bald head of
the Comstocker. and then triumphantly
planted in it his egg, fell back ten steps
and knocked it off The Comstocker
then told him to set up his second egg
and shoot at it, as he didn't want to have
his head chalked twice during the game.
This was done, and the wreck Of a
second egg streamed over the Comstock-
er's pate. The Piocher now stood out
with his last egg on his head. The Com
stocker raised his pistol and fred. The
Piocher bounded yard into the air, and
the egg bounced whole from his head.
"I'ye lost! cried the Comstocker. Let
all come and drink. By a slip I've put
half the width of my bullet through the
top of his left earl and SO it proved
upon. measurement Virginia Enter.
