The State Gazette, in a recent arti

The State Gazette, In recent arti-
ele upon tho present administration,
says: ssThere has been but one SEEM
ingly serious difference Of opinion be.
tween the administration and any
considerable number OF people, and
that was IN relation to the propriety
81 calling . State Convention. Gov.
Coke's mastery message on that sub.
ject. and his frankness in speaking
ont, when, If he had chosen, he might
have been silent, has had Q wide>
spread influence. That message was
plsin, straightforward and logical.
"As our readers are aware. Gov.
Coke based his principal objection to
. Constitutional Convention on the
injurious effects OF the assembling Of
such . convention would have upon
the finances of the State. The cost
Of . convention he regarded as having
ne weight, for the people, in express-
ing their desire for q convention, had
made an estimate of that, and we're
prepared to meet it. But he had re.
eeived letters from the leading capi-
salists and financiers in New York,
assuring him thst if such conven.
tion were called, the State bonds
could not be sold, il at all, except at
. ruinous saerifce.
This argument will seem more
weighty when We consider the facts.
There II now not dollar in the State
Treasury to meet Its indebtedness,
and # the bonds coulds not be sold,
the finances Of the State woRld be in
. deplorabls condition. At the close
Of the fiscal year, which terminates on
the 3lss Of August, the deficit in the
treasury to meet existing liabilities,
il estimated by the treasurer at $780,.
900, and the anticipated expenses for
the ensuing year at 81 500, 900, maxi
ing an aggregate of O., 100000. The
most Of the present indebtedness is
ut home, to creditors who will be
ruined il they are not paid, and who
are c.amorous for their money. With
out dollar In the treasury, and the
warrants they hold declining rapidly
IN the markets, what would be
the condition of the credit Of the
State"
Viewed in the light, that Consti.
rational Convention, if called at thi,
time, would severely affect the sale O
the bonds Of the State, and upor
which sale the well being Of this grea
commonwealth is at present resting
We are satisfied. We thank our co
eemPorary for his excellent article.

TEXAS AT WASHINGTON.

IlIe recent move Dy the here iuc
tionists who represent the disaflected
elements OF the State--themselyes a |
hopcl, IS minorltY--at Washington,
in mcmoralizing Congress upon the
woes and hariships Of the slate do
fea,ed" is Of character to excite
contempt frst, and pity afterwards.
Every yaeans was used; even 10 the
verge of revolution, TO defeat the will
of the vast majority Of the people Of
Texas, with home means and resour-
ces, these failing, an appeal was made
to power, as potent as it had always
been willing. to interfere adversely
to the cause OF the people Of the
Soath, bnt IN vain. Falling to ins
vclve the Federal powers, with those
Of the State, these desperate and
reckless political trlcksters were
forced ro acquiesce, but with . very
bad grace. 1t now seems that their
plans were only held in obeyance for
brief time, and they now move on
the positions held by the law and or,
| der party of the State, as represented
by It's present legally constituted
government, by afllank movement
as weak and purlle as it is contempt>
able and wicked, and memorials sign
cd by Stanley Welsh, Jack Hamilton
and others of that ilk, are presented in
Washington viva all the grsyty and
formality Of bona .Jide transaction
And yet Congress must know that
the whole thing is the merest bravdo.
and that too, at the hands of q
set of mere political trickster,,
representing In Texas, nothing tangi
BILE or real, except their own unscru-
pulous and nnholy ambition. We are
tod that in addition to the memorials
that have already gone forward, and
that have already found their graves
| in the waste basket of the Committee
room; there are others beng prepared.
Let not the good people of Texas be
alarmed. The only shadow OF chance
these reckless men had of success was
lost, when the General Government,
as represented in the person of the
President, said to them, explicitly and
firmly, that the will Of the people Of
Texas, as we have it SO clearly ex-
pressed, by the tremendous majority
given in the last election, "must and
shall be preserved" We think Gen.
Grant far too wise man to make
declaration of this character, Affect
ing interests Of 30 much grave impor-
tance, without first having tested the
temper of Congress, and his simple
dictum was that Of the Executive,
backed by the representative as well
as the judicial branche OF the gov
ernment OF the nation.
We can see no reasonable cause
for apprehension, and indeed we teel
none. We are satisfied that the pres
ent benign and capable government
of the State of Texas will be fully
sustained by the powers of the Fede-
raj government. Instances Of success
full administration of the State gov>
ernmeuts of the South, since the war,
have been too rare to be thrown
away, and the Federal administration
cannot afford to make the experiment
now, and with Texas.

last Wednesday evening by word
circulated on the streets that a young
man was drowning in Virgins mill
pond hundreds of citizens FASTENED
to the place and ascertained the fol-
lowing facts Mr. l.. L. Benedict,
student of the Normal school,
with several school mates repaired
to the pond for the purpose of bath
ing, and all were enjoying themselves
we'll when Mr.. B. was suddenly
taken with cramp, it is supposed,
and Immediately sank. His asso~
ciates being unable to offer any as
sistanco, not being expert swimmers,
they hastily sent word to town for
help, several men entered the water
and after searching for an hour the
body was found. Mr.. Benedict was
fine christian young man of much
promise, and loved most by those
who knew him best. Such youth are
too scarce and we can lily afford to
lose one of them. He will be sadly
missed by his many friends and
school mates, but it is in the family
circle that there will be greatest
void Death is terrible thing when
we have the privilege of a last good
bye, bat how much keeLer is the
sorrow when it comes so suddenly
and leaves no memory of the part
ing words. The afflicted family have
our sincere sympathy.

The general point of attraction
to-day is the auction sale of army
goods on the street corner opposite
the bank. The auctioneer says he
is here to initiate himself and make

is doing it from the amount of
money be is taking in and the quail

-Chapin's circus was but slimly
attended and also furnished a sho,o

ately extinguished and no harm
done.

working vigorously and although

the employ of John Postle 81 Hipley's
brewery, was returning from the de-
pot to lower town with a horse and
light wagon, the horse started, and in
consequence of the absence of the
breeching, the strain upon the lines in
endeavoring to check its spred, forced
the wagon upon the animal, when it
commenced kicking, striking the young
man upon the forehead and breast,
knocking him back and rendering him
insensible. 1t is supposed, as the horse
neared home, and in crossing the plank
road near the school house, he was
thrown from the wagon and his neck
dislocated, causing instant death. De-
ceased was steady, industrious young
man, about 81 years old. This fright

untimely and mournful death. The
remains were taken to his brothers

change in the management the pro-
