b WHu.Ewe desire TO see the city coun
ell use every reasonable economy,
there are few localities IN different
parts of Dallas now impossible, which
little work will render entirely safe
and convenient for the present We
ask our new mayor to ride over town
and see for himself. We ere opposed,
at present, to any unnecessary cXpen-
,lture on anything. At the sametime
we personally know of several places
where very little work will do great
good. For instance, take Live Oak,
one Of the most necessary streets out
side of the business districts; five men,
in three, days can do all that is essen
tial atpresentto render itot great pub
lie convenience. Without that little
work, il is impossible for vehicles.
Hunt up all such cases. where little
will 90 so far. and have the work done.

states continues to spread. tits very
remarkable manifestation, following
close on the heels of the grange move
meht, though not connected with it.
Companies of respectable ladies, al.
mostall being married, enter saloons,
sing, pray, and make appeals to the
proprietors to cease dealing In whisky
or any of It's cousins, whether brandy,
gin or what not. In many cases they
succeed--in others fail--but In almost
every case they are treated politely.

IL.
TIE bill providing for the sale oflhe
university lands Of Texas has become
u law, but we do not know It's proyls-
ions. We hope tho school lands and
alternate sections in railroad lands
will be also plnced ON the market, at
once, ina wise and prudent manner.
We tried hard In the Inst legislature to
get such measure through, but time
defeated IT, The best interests of the
state generally, and of large sections In
particular, demand the sale of these
lands, at fair prices, to actual settlers,
present or prospective. Some Of
our best northwest counties are held
in restraint by the large amount
of school lands withheld from sale in
their limits. To sell the lands, popu-
late the country and collect revenue
from them, is the true policy. "

The Fate Of BaxaiuA.

Details OF the late trial OF Marshal BaZane
tend 70 nelghten the dramatic character OF the
proceedings. He was found guilty of surren-
deriDg an army in the open field, but the more
enlightened opinion seems to be that the evil
dence had not much to do with the verdict
Notwithstanding. he was condemned to the ut
most extent Of the law, as if no doubt OF treason
existed. At the same time the court unani-
mously signed q petition for mercy, and thus
threw the responsibility upon the president
The marshal surrendered after receiving the
advice to do so, in writing, from all his gensr-
ais, but their letters counted for nothing In the
evidence. The members Of the court which
found him guilty bore testimony in their rec
ommeDdation to mercy to his long and
brilliant services and to the 'suuheard-of
difficulties that surrounded him when he took
command OF the army Of the Rhine. The mar
shall himself refused to sign the demand for
clemency or to ask a review of his sentence.
One of his friends pronounced the name OF
who has been re habilitated by this verdict, and
said that the marshal ought to hate that man.
Hate HIM :" replied Bazaine. "Do you hate
and that is all N. GamSetta is nothing but ut a
grand enfaRt. To sum up everything, I am yet
in debt TO HIM. He called me a traitor once.
Brave Bszaine,' his sGIorious Bazaine,' a
in his debt"
The present president of France Mac Mahon, J
when informed of the petition for clemency,
said 80 Thus it is that they have thrown the
responsibility upon me. Very we'll! / am not
afrsit OF it. The journals say that I cannot use
my right Of mercy without losing my personal
popularity, but that consideration will not de-
ter me-" A few minutes afterward the Due
D'Aumale, president Of the court, came in aud
was coolly received. As has been already men,
toned, the sentence has been chan Xed TO twenty
years seclusi0n in a fortress, without military
degradation. II now all the other French gen.
erals, MacMahon himself, Trochu, and others,
who surrendered large armies, shall be like wise
secluded, Marshal Bazarne will have plenty of
good company.
The principal concern expressed BY the mar
shall during his trial was for his family. HIS
wife, a 1exican lady, only twenty-eight years
of age, was poor girl when Bazatne married
small property, which was afterwards confs-
Gated by IuareZ. She Is said to be an excellent
mother, loving wife, and highs spirited
woman.
