How EVaFIS and Porter Trained
for Thelr NpeecheS.

The efforts made by Mr., Eyarts were
Of a very exhausting nature. He not
only wore the subject threudbare, but he
wore out himself. Porter, too, is severe
ly exhausted. These men ought to DO
we'll paid, inasmuch Us their services
have been rendered ut the expense OF
health-perhaps Of life. What mean
Is that such protraCtGd and tremendous
conflicts must fell powerfully on the
framO-must impair yitalily-must tend
to tho shortening Of human existence.
Both Porter and Eyarts are much enfee-
bled, and it will require the entire sum
mer to give restoration, The danger OF
such extraordinary efforts is well known
at the bar, as 1t Ia at the theatre, aud
hence the public will not be surprised to
learn that physicians have been con-
stantly looking after these legal gladia.
tors. The inner life OF these men will
not come before the world, but it Is said
that they have been under peculiar care,
and that every possible appliance has
been used to prepare them for tho con.
llict. One Of the principal points has
been stimulating diet. Another Is the
bath. Sleep, which Is so necessary and
yet 80 difficult for an excited brain, has
been induced by reading aloud and by
soothing music. In this manner, to say
nothing Of alcoholic stimulus, they have
been toned up for the OCCASION. Now
that this is past, the effect will be felt
during long and painful period Of re-
action. The fact Is, all Of Beecher's law.
yers should be taken up to PGekskill and
put out to grass for the whole season.

place the new instrument before the
people to be lntolligently voted on by
them at theS December election, and
deprecaling another and expensive
election SO soon thereafter, thought
best to use their prerogative as the
representatives of the sovereign power
the people-and very properly, we
think, ordained that the said election
should be postponed to such time as
the new Constitution should be sub
mitted, thus saving the trouble and
expense Of another election, and doing
away with the Ubiquitous registration
law-that relic of Radical barbarlsm.
In this, we say, they have acted wisely,
for, in all candor, we think the ordi-
nance was absolutely needed. If the
Convention is not the representative
of the supreme authority of the land,
and, therefore, fully empowered to do
all things necessary for the good of the
people, then we don't know where
such authority can be found. 1t will
be remem bered that the ordinance pro-
vides for the Governor to issue his
proclamation ordering general cleo
ton in case the Constitution is rejected,
and what harm there is in the act we
can not see.

Twenty-seyenth nay.

AUSTIN, October 0, 1875.
The Convention met pursuant to adj
journment Prayer by Rev. Willen-
berg.
Mr.. Erhard presented a minority re-
port from the Committee on lmmlgra-
ton, advocating u continuance Of the
Bureau.
Mr.. Russell, of Wood, offered the fol-
lowing ordinance:
"Be 1t ordained by the people Of Tex
as In Convention assembled, That no
debt contracted two years after the
ratification Of this Constitution shall
be collected by law"
Unfinished business was resumed,
being the passage Of the Executive ar
Iicle to engrOssment. Unsuccessful
attempts were made TO raise the salary
Of the Secretary of state, an to allow
the Legislature to provide for II SUPER
intendent of Public instruction. The
article WINS ordered to be engrossed.
The majority report on suffrage was
taken up. A motion was made to.
strike out the lines requiring payment
Of poll tax before voting. 1t was
urged that the people were tired
of carrying pass to the bal
lot-box, and that 1t was con-
trary to the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States. Others contended that other
States had made such restrictions on
suffrage; that the Fifteenth Amend
ment superseded the Fourteenth
Amendment, and no infringement
was made on the Constitution of the
United States by this clause; it was
purely question Of eXpediency, and
whether the measure would conduce
to the best interests of the State.
Pending the discussion the Conven-
ton adjourned.
The whole session this afternoon
was consumed in the discussion Of the
poll tax question, the motion being to
strike out the restriction.
Speeches in favor of the restriction
were made by Reagan, Stockdale,
Crawford, Nugent, Lynch and Others.
Against it by Flournoy, Pickett, Brown,
Martin of Hunt, and Barnett.
Adjourned until o'clock Tomorrow
morning.

proposition. All power here comes
from the people and is revertlble to
the people, and yet such u Convention
might take 1t entirely out of the peo-
ple's hands and prevent them from
ever getting hold Of il again. For in-
stance obey would have the ability of
forever DISTINGUISHING whomsoever
they pleased-say all that We're not
owners OF ten thousand dollars worth
of property-and there would be no
legal redress.
Now in regard to tho expediency of
your correspondents proposal in this
particular instance. In the first place,
II the majority Of the people Of this
State are opposed to the Constitution,
what right have minority to force IL
upon them? Would it not be far better
to endure existing evils little longer,
and finally adopt IL regularly? Surely
ii is not eXpedient to do wrong that
good may result. In South Carolina or
Mississippi such u strategy might not
be wrong, but there can be no excuse
for it in Texas, where the negro vote is
comparatively Insignificant.
