seth AND sT. MATTHEW.

1t turns out that the statements pub
lished some weeks ago, announcing
the election of our young friend Seth
Shepard as senator from Washington
and Burleson, over the Hon. st. Mat
thew Gaines, the vivacious and witty
man of stone coal color, were untrue.
When the figures were all counted, st.
Matthew was found to be gust three
dozen votes ahead of the handsome
blonde, our gallant young friend Seth,
of whose name we read in the twenty
fifth verse, chapter iv. of Genesis,
wherein it is also written Verse 26):
"And to Seth to him also there was
born son; and he called his name
Enos: then began men TO call upon the
name of the Lord" Now, that Seth
of the Bible was shepherd, and so is
our Seth of Washington county, and
had he not been beaten by one bearing
new testament name, il would, by
implication, be an argument TINT a
majority of the suilragans of Wash
ington and Burleson were either pa
gans, heathens, Or infidels. As it is,
we cannot make the eliarge; for if we
did, st. Matt, of Washington, would
confront us with the patent fact that
he bears thenpme Of him whose writ.
ings come first in the followers of the
Redeemer.
So, as the old and new testament
names are now in conflict, we must
keep close 10 Shore, lest storms and
angry waves engulfus. We may, how.
ever, be permitted to say, without risk
Of communication that Seth will |
contest the seat of st. Matt before the
grand sandhedrim, and leave them to
say which is rightfully entitled to occu-
py that cushioned chair, and vote yea
or nay on grave matters of state.

GOVERNOR COKE,s MEssAGE.

We published In full yesterday GOV
ornor Coke's special message TO the
legislature, In regard to amending the
constitution, written after the two
propositions heretofore pending had
been killed--the one to call conven-
ton and the other to appoint coln-
miliee to make constitution. we
differ with the governor on the con-
ventlon question, but heartily agree
with him III opposition toa committee.
But as both plans are dead, the only
remaining alternative Is to change the
constitution by amendments, ana that
fact being settled, then and In that
case, we most heartily endorse the wise
aud conservative suggestions of Cover
nor Coke. His incidental views az To
what constitution should be In the
abstract and what II should be for Tex
rs, in our altered condition, are pre-.
cisely in accord with what we advoca-
ted in The HERALD months ago, aud,
of course, meet our cordial approval
now.
Now, what is the plan suggested by
the governor for amending the consti-
tuition? Let us have u clear view ut
once. II is this: ... ..-...
First,-for the present Legislature
to prepare n full and carefully digested
set of amendments, virtually almost
forming new constitution, and have
them printed for general distribution,
examination aud discussion through
out the state.
Second. When this same legislature
re-assemblos next winter, it can modl-
fy, amend on enlarge these proposed
amendments TO meet the public will ~
manifested in regard tothem, and then
formally, in n constitutionulmode, sub
NIT them TO The people TO be ratified OF
rejected ut the next election for II new
Legislature in December lSia II
adopted BY the people, The legislature,
then to he elected, will ratily them
when it meets in January, 1876, and
then we will have tie Benefits of its
provisions. 1t isa long time to wait,
nearly two years, but il is the only
mode left to reach an object SO deeply
affecting the rights and welfare of the
people.
IL must be borne inmind that amend
ments have to he proposed by one leg
islature, adopted 10y the people, and rat
flied by anew or succeeding legislature.
Each legislature has two sessions, and
this session being the first of this Leg
islature, the suggestion of Governor
Coke is a happy one, to have amend
ments prepared and widely published
now, so that this same Legislature, at
its second session. can change
them-put finishing touch on them
after some months ofinvestigation and
discussion by the people. 1t will,
however, be slow, not to say provok-
ing, guaranty of n wise, conservative
and well digested constitution.
Having fought earnestly for what
we believed to be a better and more
American way of accomplishing the
great good desired by all our political
friends, we are not disposed to be cap
tious, but advise our friends in the leg
islature to adopt this, the only mode
left, and make the best possible use
of it. ts
AT the same time, the fourteenth
legislature must never crow over the
thirteenth on the question of unselfish
patriotism. The thirteenth bravelyi
walked the plank to save the people.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-03-20

WE notice on our streets various We
hicles called "foats"-those long con-
Germs, high in front and low in rear,
constructed for the purpose of carrying
great bulks of freight for short distances
In large business towns they are indis-
pensable to the moving of cargoes. To
our agreeable surprise, we learned the
other day, that those elegant structures
seen on our streets, were natives of
Dallas, having been born in the busy
workshop of Mr.. James Carey, whose
enterprise is well known, but now en-
HANGED by these specimens of his es-
adjustments capacity. Would there
We're variety of such in our town.
