THm international compromise llll,
which has just passed the state senate,
by vote OF fourteen Ia twelve, gives

full aud nnal consideration for the

San Antonio, the bonds 10 br issued
on that portion of the road completed,
and the balance rs the work pro-
crosses, according to the terms OF the
charter Three hundred thousand do
lars Is to he reserved until the final

goes TO the house, which should at once
pass 1t and thus settle lionorably this
veXatious matter.
THAT was singing rebuke Hon.
Roger q. Mills, of this state, gave
spoon Butler, in the house of represent
tativcs. He said in reply to Buffers
gabble about "the assassins, thieves
and murderers of the SOUTH" that the
only murderer he mills knew was
Butler himself Unless we are very
much mistaken in the man, Butler il
treadiug on ticklish ground and may
live to have Texas quirt laid well on
him some fine morning. Mills is too
much of n gentleman to deille himself
by touching II spoon thief, but the
temptation to impule him in the house
could hardly he resisted
MIR. THuRLoW WEED, who is prob
ably one of the acutest minds Of the
day in forecasting political probabiii-
ties, in recent very interesting letter
in reference to Andy Johnson, says
that he will I've watch dog of the
treasury. His voice will he recorded
against jobs and grabs of every de-
scription. Mr.. Weed thinks that
every honest senator and representa-
tive, added to those who cap be counted
upon to stand up firmly against claims
and combinations with which the pub
lie treasury is me- 3aced, should be well
coined and cherished irrespective of
party by all friends of good govern
ment.
Mr.. CoNKLING has declared in the
United States senate that the Louis
lana question in the senate opens the
presidential campaign for 1876. 1t has
been u forgone conclusion for some
time that the presidents policy in re-
lation to affairs in that state would de-
fine the ground upon which the com-
ing battle for the presidency would be
made. Already tho issues it has ere
ated have decided hundreds OF thou
sands of votes, and if all signs 10 not
fail, the democracy will sweep the
country in 1876, and inaugurate for the
second century of our history as "a re.
public an era of proper respect for the
rights OF the states, aud an enforce
ment ofthe Jettersonign criterion in
our selection of public officers.
The senate provided rather singular
ly for a convention. The question, rs
they propose, will now be "for or
against convention, delegates TO cou-
vention, members of the legislature,
for or against amendments to the con-
sttution.n Where, oh where are the
pledges of the seven hundred and fifty
men who met in convention, in Aus
tin, two years ago? This senate's
"what is ip' is simply very ingenious
and adroit method of whipping the
devil around the stump. Your duty,
"most potent, grave and reverend
seignors," is simply to redeem the
pledge of the democratic party, made
already by providing for constitu.
tional convention, without any further
tergiversation, decentralization or back
ing and filling. Come, 10 flinching.
Face the music.
