CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
FIFTY Sixth Day.

AUSTIN, November 10, 1875.
Convention assembled at the usual
hour.
Mr.. Num- presented the resignation
Of his colleague, Mr.. Durham.
The article on public lands and the
land Office was resumed, and various
amendments were proposed, and after
prOtracted debate were all lost, with
the exception of one by Mr.. kilgOre
adding the following to the second sec
ton: "rhe Legislature shall pass II
general law only to give effect to the
provisions Of this section"
Pendinga motion to strike out Sec
ton 3, the Convention adjourned to
afternoon.
On reassemhling, the article on pub
lie lands and land Office was resumed,
and MIR. Crawford's substitute for arti-
Gle 3 was adopted, and the bill finally
passed to engrossment. The article,
rs passed, allows grants of lands to
railroads under general lawa, and COM
pels railroads TO sell such lands to ac-
tual settlers at two dollars and half
per acre.
The article on the Judicial Depart
ment was then taken up, and Mr..
Fl0urnoy's substitute for the whole
article was read. 1t is substantially the

amount Of $4,000, 600. The promoters
Of the rascally, intriguing monopoly,
which the Tribune is defending by at
lacking the scheme of building COM
petitlye railroad, brlbed q corrupt con
gress tn reduce the government lein to
u second mortgage, moreover, while
the proposed guarantee TO the Texas
and Pacific bonds will be fully secured
by a first mortgage.
AS to the Union and Central Pacific
interest paid by the government, the
Tribune's argument il an unworthy
quibbIe. Why does the government
continue TO pay this interest? Is 1t be-
cause the roads fail to earn enough
money to pay 1t? Or Is 1t because q
venal Congress, under the influence Of
Dribes, so framed the laws rs to betray
il into the hands of that corrupt mon
opoly? We need not assert that the
latter is the case. The Union and Cen
trail Pacific roads are making dividends
of eight per cent. on sol 100000 of cap
ital stock, instead of paying six per
cent. interest on the government sub
sidy of S5l,000,0 The dividends
amount to more than twice rs much as
the interest on their subsidy, and i'll
addition they are annually increasing
their surplus fund. No such dishonest
advantages are desired by the friends
Of the proposed competing route, nor
are they possible under the plans pro-
posed for the further legislation of
Congress.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-11-12

and the Texas and Pacific rs all re-
curing extensions of time to save their
charters.
Mr.McCormick was wilingeXtensions
shOuld.b be granted If these roads would
agree to be governed by provisions Of
the present constitution, which pro.
vides, among other things for the
establishment by the Legislature Of
maximum rates and to prevent dis
eliminating charges.
Mr.. (obertson's amendment lost :;
Crawiord's substitute lost; Waelder's
amendment adopted.
BY Mr. Stayton-'ro amend by adding
to section two the words, cor when the
appropriation Is evidenced by the &C.
cupation of the owner, or some person
for him" Adopted, and the article as
amended passed to ergrossment, 1t
is more liberal TO railroads than was
expected before reconsideration.
Mr.. Flournoy's substitute on the judi
ciary article taken up. Dohoney and
Ballinger opposed its adoption. Flour
noy replied. Adjourned.

At Il meeting of the committee on
the ordinance to extend time to Texas
Pacific Railroad tonight, General OAR
nell in the chair, no final conclusion
was reached at late hour.
The general sentiment of those ia
yoring an extension was apparently to
ndopt an amendment or substitute by
Waelder, authorizing the next Legisla-
ture to grant time TO all railroads in
default, in consideration of their
Strengthened circumstances and the
untavorable condition of the money
market.
Colonel DeMorse said he had instruc-
lions from his constituents which
would authorize him not to grant more
than twelve months to the Texas
Pacific.
Gen. Darnell said that n construction
company had contracted to build the
road from Dallas to Fort Worth, and
that their ability to carry ii out in n
measure depended on the extension of
time; that granting the extension
would furnish moral aid to the COM
pany in its petition for Congressional
aid, and without aid from the general
government II was likely the whole
thing would fall through and the COM
pany forfeit all its chartered privileges.
Nugent would not agree to an extern
sion till satisfied that Tom Scots pro-
ject with regard to connections were
not iltended or calculated to jeoparlize
the interests OF coast cities-Galveston,
Houston and other points--.as well as
the whole State. a road passing
through Texas as mere thoroughfare,
was not entitled to much consideration.
The chairman called attention to the
requirements of the charter.
Cards wanted it understood that El
Paso was not to be left out in the cold.
A respectable minority of the COM
mittee are opposed to granting the re-
quest of the company, the objection
being to continuance of their landed
reservations
