EVENING SESSION.

The Convention met a. $3.50, pursuant to
adjournment. Roll called; quorum pres
ent.'
Mr.. Moore addressed the Convention in
behalf of common free schools.
Mr.. Mclean said the country was too
sparsely settled to maintain system of pub
lie free schools. We have tried it, and
made miserable failures.
Mr.. Dohoney Was strongly in favor of
public free schools, and thought if this
Convention failed to provide some mode,
that the proposed Constitution would be
defeated. He thought the proposed amend
ment introduced by Mr.. johnson of Col
lin, this morning, was lodging the ques
ton by leaving the whole matter to the
Legislature, but believing this was the best
that could he done, he would Vote Tor II
on the ground that s'a half loaf is better
than no bread"
Mr.. Flournoy was opposed to any system
of public free schools by taxation.
The amendments were all voted down by
decided majorities.
Mr.. Warlder then offered the following
as a substitute for section three: 'sThe Leg
islature shall provide for the levying and
collection of an annual tax of not more than
one-sixth of the per centum of taxable
property, real and personal, of the State,
and also poll-tax of two dollars on each
voter of the State; and the taxes SO levied
and collected, as well as the income from
the fund herein provided, shall be annually
distributed for.the education of all children
between the ages of eight and fourteen
years among the several counties or school
districts according to their respective scho-
lastic population"
Addresses were made by Mr.. Stockdale
and Mr.. Chambers, both advocating that
the State had no authority to establish a
system Of public free schools.
Pending the discussion the Convention
adjourned. NfSl

Prayer by Rev. T. b. Lee.
Mr.. Weaver moved reconsideration of

The motion was reconsidered, and the
resolution limiting members to five minutes
reconsidered.
= Mr.. Fleming made on able and eloquent
speech in behalf of public free schools.
He said that, as one of the young Democ-
racy, he advocated liberal system of
free schools, and thought, if this was not
done, the people of Texas would reject
the Constitution. He said he had no
sympathy with the nineteen old fogies who
had voted here that the State had no right
to vote tax for the support of public free
schools. They were far behind the spirit
of the age. He looked on the majority re-
port as fraud-a stupendous fraud on the
people He was glad that his friend, Mr.
Mccormick, had read to this Convention,
the Democratic platform in regard to this
natter. He had always looked on him as
consistent Democrat, and hoped that now
as he had gotten on the right track, he
would stay there
Mr.. Barnett was opposed to going any
further in the mntter than giving onc-tenth
of one per cent. for the education of the in
digent This. he thought, was the senti-
ment of the Convention.
Mr.. Nugent said he had been opposed to
the system under which we had been
living. and looked on It as a fraud; but
he was satisfied good one could be
made. He would not stand on this
floor as member, and say he was afraid to
trust his people with the power to tax
themselves wheneverthey saw proper.
Mr.. Num- moved that the report of the
committee and all pending amendments be
referred to a select committee of seven.
Mr.. SAMSON opposed the motion on
the ground that the matter had been well
argued, and the members could vote as in
diligently nov as at any other time. If il
was referred, the whole matter would have
| to lie gone over again.
Mr.. Crawford made an eloquent appeal in
behalf of free schools. He referred them
! to the various Constitutions OF Texas. 10 all
organic laws ever made for the State, tc
l show that even when stepped in poverty,

but honor gone--even then the Conven len
of 1866 made al ample provision for school
ing the hright-eyedA children of our loved
State. Our Democratic platform of 1878
reafirmed the doctrine. He looked on the
majority report as a sugar coated, stupen-
dous fraud. If he WIS compelled TO choose
between the two, he would take the minority
report submitted by Sansom, Holt, Dun
ham and Cooke of San Saba. 1t was k1rder
by far to the orphans of this land than sne
other. If you don't believe the State has
right to tax for the benefit of free schools,
do as SAMSON did-boldly say so-but do
not try to hoodwink us and the country
With such an abortion as the majority re-
port.
Mr. Bdllinger said from his earliest man
hood be had not doubted that it was among
the clearest powers and most imperative
duties of State government, when it could
provide the means tOgive the benefits of
free common school education to all the
children of the st tie. This had not only
been accepted but treasured as a duty in all
other American States. In Texas, from the
day that her Independence of Mexico was
proclaimed, one OF the causes set forth be-
ing the want of public education, which
WAS essential to liberty and the capacity for
free government; in every organic act that
duty had been slowly declared. Both par
ties in Texas adopted it in their political
platform. He had come to this Convention
with no sense of duty stronger upon HIM
than to preserve these principles unim-
pared, and do all practicable to carry them
into effect.
Mr.. Ferris was an able advocate of an
efficient system of schools. His constitu-
ents did not send him here to thwart free
schools, but to make provision for them.
He did not believe we were now in a condi-
ton to sustain public schools by taxation,
but he favored leaving the matter to future
Legislatures, in whom he would have CON
fidence that they would do hight. q He
would not arrogate to himself or this Con-
ventiOn, all the intelligence and virtue of
the country. The same people that sent
this Convention here, could send a good
Legislature. He favored reference of the
whole matter. -T
Mr. Darnell also favored a reference, hop
ing the committee would be able to report
a compromise, on which all could agree.
Mr.. Cook of Gonzales said he would 90
as far as the fathers before us-one-tenth of
the annual tax-but no father. We have
various financial difficulties, and were not

A FArLURE.-It is said some parties, who
desired to get their names into print, went
out yesterday morning to fight a duel at
the Fair grounds. As they didn't fight
when the time came, but preferred to
shake hands, the matter becomes too con-
temptible to give personal mention of it.
1t would have been some qualification if
they had been in earnest, and after shoot
ing each other, given us the opportunity
to get up a sensation. They will have to
forego the pleasure of seeing an account of
this folly in print, as they donot deserve it.

B. Trigg is district attorney, and court is
now in session. He owns house on tire cor
ner of Ash and San Jacinto streets, which is
known as ''Barnharts boarding house." He
and his family board there, and occupy apart
ments therein. On Saturday night last, about
midnight, Trigg came TO his room IN an i'm
bruted condition. Mrs. Trigg, an estimable
lady, had given birth to child only two days
before, and was at this time in a helpless con-
dition 1t is said that the other inmates OF the
room were their little girl, six years old, and
negro nurse. At the time referred to the
community was aroused blythe. discharge of
firearms in the above named house and
along with it came heartrending screams
with cries of murder" and calls for "help."
The shots and cries of alarm came from the
room occupied by Mrs Trigg. and other in
mates of the house and neighbors hast
ened 10 the scene, expecting, as is stated, to
meet with death and carnage. Instead Of
this, however, they were confronted by Trigg
in the guise Of a demon, threatening death
and destruction. He had discharged his pis-
toll four times in the room. Whether he shot

but stories are ahoat about words and appeals
heard in the room before witnesses entered it.
When Trigg was confronted he was armed
with a horrible knife. What was his intent
we cannot say, and leave judgment upon il TO
the decision OF the psblic. Many reports are
current and justice demands that the whole
affair be fully investigated.
A city policeman took Trigg in charge and,
though earnest appeals were made by those
present that he be kept away from the house
for the remainder OF the night, II was not more
than an hour thereafter before the assistant
city marshal conducted Trigg back to his
room, and there he remained 10 the terror Of
the household. No further notice Of this hor-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FLOODS.

The recent tremendous freshets which
have flooded some Of tie most Fertile low
lands of the United States, have not only
caused wide spread ruin and disaster, hut
have, as might have been expected, been
followed by an unprecedented outcrop Of
fever and ague, bilious remittents. and
other diseases of malarial type. The suns
rays, acting upon the saturated vegetation
and isolated pools left by the retiring waters,
have exhaled far-reaching miasma, which
is pregnant with disease. The most reliable
safeguard against it is found to be Hostel
ter's Stomach Bltters, the present demand
for which, more particularly in the West
and Southwest, where the floods have been
most severe, exceeds any which has existed
in the past, popular as the great national
remedy and preventive of malaria has al
ways been. Never has it been put to such
a crucial test, or its claims more conspicu-
ously indicated.
