STATE GEOI.OGIST.

That chronic office seeker and lobby
Isl s. B. Buckley, has been named state
geologist, and still worse, confirmed.
Since the first session of the twelfth
legislature up to the present, ;. Is.
Buclley's long winded documents
and pecuniary claims have appeared
rs regularly rs the session. And strange
to say, no matter what the compost
ton of the legislature, with the same
result, an invariable refusal to enter
tain or audit "that little account" |
know not what claims were urged on
Governor Coke, but it is believed, and
| think Justly, that this is one of his
worst nominations so far. Personally
Mr.. Buckley may be, and doubtless is Il
gentleman of culture ana reilnemeht'
but the state wants a geologist or note -
one not unknown to fame-whose rep
resentations will have some weight
abroad as well as inspire confidence at
home. l. is useless to ask does the
present appointee belong to this class.
The above dispatch has been cut
from the new paper in Dallas, the
Commercial, and sent to US by one OF
the most distinguished men in Texas,
with the request that we should do
Governor Coke justice in the matter.
The article quoted seems to have been
q part of a telegraphic dispatch to the
Commercial. The editor of the Com
mercal therefore, is not responsible
for it.
The injustice of the article will be
opposed by a simple reference to facts.
Mr.. S. b. Buckley is undoubtedly the
most distinguished geologist in Texas.
He is known and recognized rs such
by the most scientific men and socie-
ties in the United States. He was APP
pointed state geologist by Governor
Throckmorton, and removed by the
military appointee, who superseded the
peoples governor He was the assist
ant of the state geologist, Shumard,
before the war, and did most of the
work which all so Omuch admired in the
geological rooms at Austin before the
war. That The is an able and accom-
plished geologist, we have the best au-
thority for asserting, including the
ablest body in Texas Oh such subjects.
The fling at Professor Buckley as to,
being a lobbyist is as unjust as it isl
coarse He applied to previous legis-
latures for his pay while he was state
geologist under Governor Throckmor-
ton-no more-no less. Being n poor
man, he wanted and stood in need of
what was due him as an officer of the
government. If that is crime, then
every merchant in Texas who seeks to
collect his debts is a criminal.
AS we said Immediately on seeing
the announcements, Governor Coke has
done well in. appointing Professor
Buckley state geologist.

Saturday from Austin, where he had

came up from Houston to Sherman on
the first sleeping car rwhicb ran through

the following just tribute to the man
agement of the Houston and Texas
Central railway: at may be safely
said that the Houston and Texas Cen
tral railroad is the enterprise of Texas.
With over five hundred miles Of rail-
road on its main line and branches,
penetrating the best portions of the
state, its value to the state is hard to
estimate, and we must say that, not
withstanding many denounce its man
agement, we have found its officers
gentlemanly and obliging, and dispos'
ed to do justice by ALL"

THE impeachment trial of Judge
Chambers came up in the state senate
on Saturday last, when the senate re-
solved itself into high court of i'm
peachment. The argument was opened
by Hon. j. L. Farrar on the part of the
managers, followed by Judge Cham bers
in Il three hours argument, and closed
by Hon. w. S. Delaney, of the board
of managers, in an able legal argument
The president then announced the ar
guments closed, and the vote was
taken whether each charge was sus-
tanned or not sustained. On article one:

should decide that the comptroller

iIMPIIRTlNENCE.

There is paper published at Wat-
kesha, Wisconsin, called the Plain
Dealer. Our friend Frank Austin has
the number dated March 3, in which
we find the following editorial;
There are two eX-governors of the
truly loyal persuasion still out of em-
ployment. One of these is Mister
Shirt-tail Washburne, late of Wiscon-
sin; the other is Edmund j. Davis, OF
Texas. The former has been in Wash
ington since he got out of II situation,
begging for some office--he is not par
ticular what. The latter has not been
heard of since he left the executive
Office. Neither have had anything as
u reward for their martyrdom.
Now, we protest against any editor
away up in Wisconsin coupling the
name of our Texas Ex-Governor Davis
with that of the Ex-Governor Wash
burne, of Wisconsin. Davis is our
property, to the manor borrower in
Florida; and is, ipsO .fdcto, son of the
sunny south. His errors are matters
of our own concern, and the Wauke-
sha Plain Dealer has no right to hui
initiate Texas in associating his name
with that of Washburne, the dcfunct
governor of Wisconsin, Abuse Wash
burne as much as you please, Mr.. PLAIN
Dealer, but leave our man Davis to us.
We can run the ship without your as
sistance in our family affairs.

The Social Side.

From the Leavenworth Daily Commercially
We understand that some of the
Young ladies are talking of forming
themselves into q society banded to-
gether and pledged to each other not to
associate with or be seen in the compa-
nv of any gentleman who drinks intoX-
icating liquors; that they will emphat-
ically, and completely, and absolutely,
ignore and cut the acquaintance of all
such. This we consider one of the
most encouraging signs of the times.
When society raises her voice, it will
be heard, rest assured of it. The young
ladies of this city, banded together
with such purpose, wOuldmake drink
ing disrespectful and disgrace very
quickly, We never saw time before,
when such move was practicable. But
now is the golden opportunity. The
country is awake. The time is propi-
tious. BY all means, girls, form your
society, make your rules rigid, make
the penalty of the breach exclusion of
the girl that breaks it from all respect
able society. Do this, and our word for
IL. there will be such a reformation
among young men as was never heard
of before. And o! the suffering you
NAV save yourselves. Look over the
blighted homes, the blasted hopes OF
the young and beautiful; the long, long.
dreary years of suffering so many OF
your sex have drawn out, tied to a
loathsome brute you are compelled 10
call husband. Look at the suffering in
thousand different forms, entailed
on YOU and on those you love, by
union with an Incorporate husband.
If YOU knew the loathsome depth of
deprayity, licentiousness and disease
that the vice of intemperance leads to,
We are sure you would form this reso-
luton. Young ladies, you are in a
great measure responsible for the state
of society that exists in our beloved
country to-day. You allow young men
to escort you to the social party, to the
| lecture, and to the dance, that you
know. as well as you know You are
living, are both incorporate and Inn
pure. We know you do this, we have
seen YOU i'm the giddy ball room with
the arms of young men around your
waists, young men who were not mt to
be spoken TO.
If one of your own sex were as I'M,
pure as these young men, you would
scorn to notice them on the street.
The eyes Of the christian world are on
YOU, young ladies. The eyes OF re,
Bned society are watching you. VIII
YOU resolve now 10 set well your part.

LOVES PHILOSOPHY.
BY PERSIA.

Let me be your philosopher-listen to me;
Look back to that dim time when chaos
regned;
When there was nothing save the great Cre-
ator,
And all the vast creation unattained;
When there was no sweet earth with all its
beauty,
No Wondrous seas of blue, no skies of blue,
Yet even then our lives We're determined,
And twas decreed that was to love you.
And when the great Creative thought was
finished
And the young world began TO be,
When on new shores new waves beat MUIR
muring,
And the stars sang together joyously;
When men were few and all the valleys
lonely
Save for some shepherd piping hollow reed,
Even then our loves far off were waiting
for us,
And that should love you, love, was decreed.
Let me be your philosopher. Listen, love,
Let me name your fate, as have named
mine,
Let me read the decree that was writ for you
Before the sun had yet begun to shine.
Each year that gave new glory to earth
beauty,
But strengthened and sanctified Gods great
decree.
Believe your fate as l believe mine, deal est,
was to love you--you to love me!

THE PUBLIC WEIGHER BILL

AS it passed the house is shorn of its
Objectionable features. The amend
ments accepted by the majority, which
had sustained the bill in its original
shape, says the Galveston News, apply
to two of the most important sections
the second and eighth.
The second section originally read:
There shall be appointed, and COM
missioned by the governor, at tho cities
of Galveston, Houston and Jefferson,
and at such other cities as in the judg-
ment of the governor may be eXpedi-
ent, a fit and suitable person as public
weigher, who shall hold his office for
the term of four years, subject to re-
moval at any time by the governor for
misconduct.
As amended, the same section stands
substantially thus:
There shall be appointed and COM
missoned by the governor at the cities
of Galveston, Houston and Jefferson,
and at such other cities as in the judg-
ment of the governor may be eXpedi-
ent, one or more competent persons, as
public weighers, subject to removal at
any time by the governor for miscon-
duct, and who shall hold, otherwise,
not longer than the tenure of the state
executive, or until their successors are
appointed and confirmed.
The eighth section originally read:
1t shall not be lawful for any person
other than the regularly appointed
weigher or his deputies, to weigh any
cotton, wool, sugar, or hides, Offered
for sale or sold in any of the cities
named in this act; and every person so
offending shall be liable to Indictment,
and on conviction thereof, shall be
fined S. for each and every bale of cot
ton, bale or sack of wool, and hogsheads
of sugar so unlawfully weighed; provi-
ded, that nothing in this act shall be so
construed as to: prevent any person
from weighing his, her or their cotton,
wool OF hides.
AS amended, the same section retains
the original text down to the proviso,
which is now to the effect that "noth-
ing i'm this act shall be so construed as
to prevent any person from weighing
his, her or their cotton, wool or hides,
or to prevent the owner or owners
from employing one not a public weigh
er to weigh the same"
