THE legislature at its last session
passed law authorizing cities to or
ganize and sustain system of public
schools. We trust those interested in
the profession ofteaching will examine

WE hear but one opinion expressed
in regard to the manner in which our
representative, Mr.. Cochran, has dis
charged his duties. All agree that he

well of the people.

GALVESTON, like Dallas, is overrun
with genteel young men looking for
situations in business or locations to
commence the prac ice of law or med
icine. Texas is the worst field in the
world for men to come to who are not |
willing to do whatever comes first. The
number of young men who are idling
their time when prospecting, while
their friends at home are keeping
them in remittances is II sad comment .
on the antipathy of prospectors to hard
work as taught between pOw handles.
Mr.. DEWEY, of the firm of Ward,
Dewey d Co., gives flat denial to the
late statement relative TO the cruelties
practised in the Texas pcnitentiary, of
which his firm are the lessees. This
is all very well as far as it goes, but the
firm owe it to themselves. and the state
owes it to herself that an official inves-
tigation of the truth Of the charges
made, should he Immediately made
and the result published. To permit
such n horrible imputatiOn to restupOn
Texas will be to do the state an meal
culable injury.
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, in his letter
to the committee inviting him to par
ticipate, in Memphis, in the hOnOrs
paid to the memory of the late Irish
patriot, John Mitchell, says: 81 send
my heartfelt sympathy in your pro-
posed tribute to the patriot and de-
votee of liberty, John Mitchell. To-
gether we struggled for state rights,
for the supremacy of the constitution,
for community independence, and, af-
ter defeat, were imprisoned together.
AS my friend, ! mourn for him, and
regret his death as loss to mankind"
These are mobile sentiments, bravely
and patriotically expressed.
THE massacre recently of Prcsbyteri-
ans at Acapulco, by an organized band
of assassins, while at prayer in which
three or four persons were killed and
eleven wounded, is one of the most
terrible affairs of the day, and should
be looked into and reparation de-
manded by our government. Their right
to establish missions in Mexico has
never been denied by the government
of that country to us, and the law
lessness of the cut-throats engaged in
this horrible butchery should he pun
ished, and security for the future ell
forced.

wholesale endorsement of Grants pol

the passage of IL substitute, by Senator
Anthony, declaring that "the action of
the president in protecting the govern
ment in Louisiana, of which w. p.
Kellogg is executive, and the people of
that state against domestic violence,
and enforcing the laws of the United
States, is approved" This will sur
prise no one familiar with the servile
alacrity of men who voted for the ci, II
rights bill, and whose toa,lyism of the
president in doing his work becomes
more fulsome and nauscating MS the
time draws nigh for them to summer
at Long Branch or dead head it over
the country as excursionists.
