DALLAS, TEXAS.
SATURDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER H.
SPECIAL LEGISLATION,

Ono Of tho greatest OWLS inflicted
upon tho people of Texas has been
that Of special legislation. AS proof
of this, it is only necessary to refer
to tho vast volumes of special laws
enacted by our different legislatures
since l845, but more especially
since 1850.
The people have had to pay for
the publication Of these laws and
the time consumed in their enact
ment, when they were not OF gone
raj, but of personal or local interest.
The necessity will continue for
special legislation. No system of
general laws can be devised TO meet
this want, Tho experience Of Older
States has demonstrated this Be
sides, it is n question of great mo-
ment whether tho power should be
conferred upon cities or individuals
TO organize corporations or incor-
poratod companies. Tho difficulty
Of framing general laws, whereby
towns and cities may incorporate
themselves, or whore combined cap
ital may be erected into incorpora-
ted companies for the transaction Of
business, ia one that must DO appar-
Ont TO any person who has reflected
upon the subject. There is one
means that can bo rosortcd
to that will, in a
great measure, tend to
relieve tho Legislature Of the consid-
GRAFTON of much of this kind of
work, and, when enacted, will re-
lievc the State Treasury of the great
burden heretofore imposed upon it
1t is this, to fix n registration
fee to and paid into the
State Treasury before any special
law takes effect. For every act for
tho incorporation of town or city,
n Masonic or Odd Fellows associa-
tion, II manufacturing company, n
railroad charter, or any act ofspeeial
legislation whatever, or amendments
thereto, foe should be paid, to DO
regulated by law, in proportion to
the capital Incorporated, or the ben
fit granted. Such u provision would
prevent many applications to the
Legislature, and would certainly
tend to prevent measures merely
fanciful, from being presented. 1t
would ylela arevenuo sufficient, in
some degree, to meet the expendi-
lures heretofore imposed upon the
taxpayers of the State. A reference
to the fact that our special laws en-
brace from three TO five times as
much printed matter as the general
laws, will show tho necessity Of this
subject engaging tho attention of
the Constitutional Go INVENTION.

The Inter Ocean in replying to
an article of Tue DALLAS HERALD,
taking il severely to task for calling
Mr.. Davis the arch traitor, says :
"The lntcr-Ocean exhausted no die
tionarcs to find offensive epithets
to apply to Mr.. Davis. 1t said no
was II traitor, and if this is not true,
tho Constitution of the United
States, not tho Inter. Ocean, is at
fault. That document says that
treason consists in levying war up
on the United States " This rea-
soning of the ntcr-Ocean is simply
absurd and is unworthy ofany jour
nal. The Inter. Ocean knows that
tho belief in the doctrine of STATE
rights was the ground upon which
tho Southern States based their
right to withdraw from tho union
of States. Because wo were dc.
featcd it does not follow that
the theory of State rights
was wrong, and that we wero all
traitors, for if our chosen leader, Mr..
Davis, is an arch-traitor, the larger
mass of the Southern people were,
and, according to tho teachings of
the lntcrOcean, are still traitors.
mat paper, we think, has been
sufficiently robuked by the people of
the North and West inasmuch os
Mr.. Davis, since tho citizens Of
Winnebago county met in public
meeting and wantonly insuIted
him, has received no lesss than
eighteen invitations from different
fair associations to become their
honored guest, and six of these invi.
tations came from Illinois. Tho tel.
egraph informs us that the reception
of Mr.. Davis at De Soto was all that
could be desired. At Columbus he
was met by delegation from
Charleston, Missouri. When he
reached Belmont he made speech
Of welcome, Which was indorsed by
n storm of applause. AT Charleston
ahSther and similarly hearty recep.
''oh awaited him, and he was com
pIeteiy surrounded by an immense
mass Of people, one.third of whom
were ladies. At the close of n brief
"peooh +" general introduction tool,
place, and Mr. Davis was
madc to feel that he was
among his countrymon, and that
he was respected and esteemed
by them. At DeSoto the distin.
gllishcd gentleman was escorted to
his hotel, whore he was waited upon
by a committee composed of the
leading citizens most of them being
prominent Republicans. Mr., Davis
was then escorted to tho magniG.
cent residence Of General Rankin
whose guest no remains during his
stay in DeSoto. While such con
slant scenes as these are being on

There is generally about dozen OF him
in flock, and tho chief end OF liie is to
