IMMIGRATION sCHEmE.

d .He i.
Texas abounds in millions of acres of the
finest land in the world. All that is re-
quired to put them in a condition to sustain
multitudes is labor and little ready capi-
tai. In many Of the old States the soils
have become so impoverished through long
usage and inability to return to them their
vegetating powers, that it is almost impos-
sible for labor alone to obtain from them. q
proper return. Capital, which is scarce,
has, in many instances, been brought to
bear upon these worn out lands, and through
the profuse use of fertilizers labor has, in in
stances, beenmade profitable. But money is
so scarce and hard to obtain, that in the
great majority of cases farmers in these
worn out sections can do nothing to redeem
their sterile property. The consequence is
that great numbers of agficultunsts, men
who have been trained from childhood to
cultivate the soil, are anxious to leave the
old States and come to Texas. If means
could be placed at their disposal to obtain
an interest in good agricultural lands
in this State, at small outlay, there
is no doubt that the tide of immigra-
tion would be greatly increased. y, with
view to such events company has
lately been formed in this city, whose
purpose . to distribute lands in the old
States through gift system. The
company is to be controlled by gentlemen
of sound businessreputation, and the lands
they intend to distribute are to be selected
from the best agricultural lands in the
State. There are names connected with the
enterprise which will give character and
solidity to it. sb15ls5 slif 81 sso- sgoss

BE .RE1sON1BIE AND JOsT.

There is gross misappr rehension in many dis
tricts of Texas as to the percentage Oftaxa-
ton. The State demands only fifty cents on
each one hundred dollars Of taxable property,
and one-fourth Of this is applied to the uses
Of the richly land-endowed public schools.
In otherwo the whole State government,
with all its complex machinery and The
legacy Of woes left it by the Davis Radical
regime, costs the people only thirty-seven
cents on the 500 Of taxable wealth. Few
States are so BIeSt with cheapness Of State
government as Texas. II the people are
not satisfied they would hardly migrate to
Mississippi or Alabama or Louisiana, and
indulge there queer fancy for the delights
Of negro domination. Texans may be
plundered BY county or town tax-gatheTers,
but very certainly they have no reason to
grin grievously when enduring the tax Of
thirty-seveu cents on the 800, exacted for
the maintenance Of the government Of an
empire ike Texas.

1t was mover the design of the STATESMAN
to condemn eleres of West Point because
they were such. 1t has been commonly
alleged; that the tendency Of education in
military schools was TO make the subjects
of their training monarchical in predilec;
tions, and that their preferences were for a
"strong government" The reason for the
supposition that sheFidan's conduct in New
Orleans was planned and premeditated in
Washington is found in his assertion that
he only came 70 the city en- route to Havana,
and then he discovers Immediately a con-
spiracy and another rebellion, and, tele-
graphing Grant, assumes command, aud
''dissolyes parliament" We are grateful
to this correspondent for calling attention
to a sentence, written, as editors of daiiies
must often write, very hurriedly, in which
he thinks that West Pointers are assailed,
as class" This body Of men, as our cor
respondent writes, f..
Includes Mr.. Davis, Joe johnson, Beau
regard, Bragg, Hood and many Others who
lost their fortunes and periiled their lives
in the causelof States rights. Call tho roll
from r. E. Lee, the greatest man that ever
lived, to the-last- graduate, and you will
find as large, 3 proportion Of statesmen
whenever called up to exercise statesman
ship as in any other class. The fact that
out of the many graduates in the army,
few tools are selected for the dirty work, of
which the prominent ones appear to be
Sheridan who is, and Terry who is not, q
West Pointer, is of itself no evidences TINT
all West Pointers, nor all of the army, are
to be trusted to override the law"
To all of which we heartily assent.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION IN
LOUISIANA.

1t is conspiracy among military men
and clercs of West Point to perpetuate the
power of Grant. The army and sixty thou
sand oficeholders, the bondholders and
banks can be relied upon, and statehood
destroyed, the Constitution defied and the
people submitting, the third term is for
life and an accomplished fact. Even the
New York Times tells its readers that
Grants conduct is indefensible. The differ
ence between statesman and a West
Pointer is shown IN the declaration Of Vice
President Wilson, who says that his party is
undone. The suggestion is not worthy of
man in his position. No question of partisan
ship can properly arise when crimes like this
of Grant and Sheridan are considered, and
Mr.. Wilson, though telling the truth, gave
no sufficient reason for his condemnation Of
Grants unheard of cnormities. Belknap
approves Sheridan's deeds, and Belknap,
chief Of the War Department, was lifted
into place, even as was Grant, on bayo-
nets point, American freedom may yet
weep that both were not transfxed. sher-
idan, as our dispatches show, admits that
his policy was well considered and ap-
proved. he fears nothing, conscious that
Grant Will adhere to hIm. he confesses
that he conferred in New Orleans
with no one, and that no citizen Of
the country was consulted. He came
to do what has been done. He came TO vio-
late the Constitution. of the country, which
heand Grant yhavesworn to support be
came to write his treason to his countrys
laws in blood and destroy the only barrier
to imperial absolutism in Americs, the In
tegrity and freedom Of the States. This de-
stroyed in LOuisiana, it is destroyed every
