SENATOR GEOR.E D. ERA1n.

This gentleman Is one of the old Texas
landmarks. He was born in Vienna, Aus
tria, on the first day of January, 1918, emf
grated to America at the age of fifteen,
settled IN Alabama, and moved to Texas in
1888. His Grst public duties were those of
surveyor for Robertson colony, and after
wards for Milan Land District. he served
conspicuonsly during the Texas revolution,
and belongs to the Veteran Association of
Texas. He represented the Milan district
in the Congress Of the Republic from 1s4S
until the annexation of Texas to the United
States, and served as a member Of the First
Legislature Of the State Of Texas. He laid
of the town of Waco, and became resi-
dent of that place in 1850. He was again
called to the legislative halls in 1856, and
served for four years in the State Senate.
He was reelected in 1861, and quit the
Senate during the following year TO take
command Of Company OF the Eff
teenth Texas Infantry, Confederate States
Army. In the latter part Of 1868 his
-~--~a -~N-N-~ Wy t'~~-f 49, - 49,
then assigned to duty upon the frontier,
being commissioned Major in command Of
the Second Frontier District. In 1871 he
was member Of the Taxpayers Conven-
ton, one Of the ablest bodies Of men that
ever convened in Texas In 1878 he was
elected State senator for the Waco district,
and drew a six years term. The public
duties Of this gentleman have been many,
and through all Of them he has 90 conduct

a San Marcos paper would know why
they don't have Democratic paper in Aus
tin. The reason for the inquiry is alleged
to be the fact that the STATESMAN advo-
Gated the International subsidy bill. This
may or may not make the STATESMAN non
Democratic. If the San Marcos writer is so
persuaded, let him come to Austin and
put nice, proper little Democratic ''organ"
on its pins. Let it dance attendance upon
power and drop upon its knees whenever
the party frowns or trot through fraterniz-
ing minuet whenever it delgns to smile, or
whirl in the beastly insanity of the can-can,
whenever party leader exacts debaslng
adulation. How long would such paper
live ? How long would 1t deserve to live
Turbulence and Organship and base betrayal
of right and principle that a man, or clique
or ring, whether called Democrats, Radi-
Gals or devils, may monopolize offices, State
or Federal, were once profitable, but people
have learned wisdom. They do not now
grow angry because newspaper differs
from them or the party. They only ask
for honesty and intelligence and in
dustry in the conduct of the news
paper. They concede to editors the
same liberty Of action and of thought
which they themselves exercise. A man who
now denies this to newspaper is left be-
hind in the race of intelligence and pro-
gress, and neither that paper nor its read
ers have capacity to think if both always
concur. Perfect concurrence is only posi-
bic when both press and people are on
dead level of unbroken stupidity. So true
is this that no paper succeeds that is not as
holly damned as 1t is earnestly Landed, and
those who curse most, among intelligent
people, pay most for the pleasure, and are
often the newspapers best practical friends.
But if the San Marcos philosopher does not
believe this, let him come to Austin and
test the truth of our statement. 1t will cost
him not less than forty or fifty thousand
dollars, and then, if he establish an cor
gam" at the end of five years he will fill
fools and beggar's grave.

INTERESTING TO TEACHERS. second
half of the State appropriation of $500, 900
for payment of salaries of teachers for the
year ending August 81, 1875, is now paYa-
bic. The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction is to-day issuing the warrants
on the State Comptroller for the amounts
due the several counties, payable either at
the State Treasury or by sheriffs of the
counties, out of any funds on hand. The
issue of warrants has been delayed on ac-
count of penal law passed early at the
recent session of the Legislature, prohibit
ing sheriffs from paying the warrants drawn
by the State Superintendent of Public In
struction on the Comptroller by sheriffs
This law has been so amended as to require
sheriffs to pay to county treasurers, out of
any State funds in hand, warrants drawn by
the State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton on the Comptroller.

IN the employ Of the Mexican government
M Sox-He is brigadier general in the
service of the Mexican government
Mr. Dunnell-Was he in the service Of
tue hexicau government in these rob.
Dir. Cox-I suppose that if the Mexican
government weIe approached diplomati-
caily on the subject they would disavow
these rObberies.
Dir. Dunnell-I do not think the govern
ment Of Mexico employs him in that ca
pacity.
Mr. Cox-I want to call the attention of
Congress and of the people TO the fact that
while We are providing military telegraph
we are not giving that protection which
these people are entitled to as citizens en-
gagged in business there. In ten years one
man, a notorious robber, has stocked his
rancho with our property, and there has
been no reparation. We sent commission
down there awhile ago, and it reported
foolishly a large amount of consequential
damages. It was such a ridiculous report
that apathy sprung up in regard to this bus
mess. But, irrespective of that commits
sion and that report, we have the statement
from members here from Texas and the
delegate from New Mexico that the border
is at the mercy Of these marauding Mexi-
cans. Tomorrow propose to present a
joint resolution in the interest of the men
on that border. 1 hope it will pass unan-
imously.
Dir. Cox's hill passed the House, but
whether it fell on its way to the Senate and
breathed its last with the dead Congress we
cannot tell.

ADJOURNED.


The siae die adjournment of the Four
teenth Legislature has taken place. This
body has disposed Of some important mat
ters, and among them stands prominently
the settlement Of tho International i'm
broglio. Tho discussion Of this question.
both in and out of the Legislature, elected
some bad feeling, but its happy solution
brought along with it peace and tranquility.
From every quarter the press comes full of
approval. The STATESMAN, it must be
acknowledged, played quite a prominent
part in those bloody scenes that are now
about to be forgotten. That success might
be attained, it adopted the plan of making
the contest sharp and severe. The Interna-
tional ranks were at one time weakening,
and 1t was deemed advisable to urge
them on to active engagements. The
plan succeeded, and Barziza was the
last man that deserted his position.
We believed such a course necessary to pre-
serve the soldity OF factions, and the Sc
quel proved that this policy was the right
one. A majority Of the Legislature stood
firm, passed the bill and Governor Coke,
recognizing the magnitude of the question
thus brought before him, while vetoing the
bill, suggested another admirable means of !
adjustment. Had the first bill failed the
veto and its consequences would have never
been necessity, and this disturbing ques-
tion would have continued to loom up be-
fore succeeding Legislatures until settled.
AS far as the International question is con-
cerned all should be satisfied. The STATES
MAN did its part IN nerving up its friends
to determined assault. The Legislature
did its duty, and the Governor disagreed
with both, and surprised the country with
his generous proposition which was almost
universally assented to. The result
was that when the Legislature adjourned
all bad feeling had passed away. A sort of
political millennium has been established
just on the skirts Of what was supposed to
be inexplicable confusion, and Texas, under
Democratic rule, must and will rapidly adj
vance in prosperity.
