.Two.EDcED SWORD.

Prof. Phelps, and his little Winona
Ring, thought they were doing q very
cunning and trenchant thing when they
answered our facts and arguments against
the extravaganza of the Normal school
system, by cowardly appeal to religious
bigotry. But,

LARORING FOR DEFEAT.

The DISPATCH should not attempt to force
any candidate FIR any Office upon tue Opposi-
ton in advance OF the convention. The 1T
ness and availability of candidates named prior
to the assembling OF the State convention Is a
fair subject for discussion aud criticism. 10
denounce newspaper or individual in doing
this. in the line Of fair discussion, is not the
way to produce union and harmony dnka-
ITO Union Qnd.) na.
There is good sense and sound argu-
ment in this.
Last year we designated no individual
as candidate for Congress or for Judge
of the Supreme Court, but threw our
columns open to the friends Of all to pre-
sent and discuss their claims; and when
| the nominations were made we did our
best to secure their election.
On the contrary, the lie Sueur Ssnti-
mel and the Faribault Democrat, as soon
as Mr.. Cox was nominated for Congress,
followed the lead Of the treacherous and
villainous old Pioneer, and denounced
Mr. Cox in unmeasured terms, and help
ed to produce such an impression on the
public mind that it lost us the District.
| Now they are following the lead Of that
same old Pioneer again in new dis
guise, to force one Of then
employees upon the Opposition al
Governor and they are ready to kick u
out of the Opposition because we will no
} bow to their dictation, and thus sacrifice
all hope Of carrying the States now Q
, hereafter. H5 .uastt H
If there is any ''reading out to be don
they are fit sui jects for the operation
for they would not obey the lawfully e,
pressed judgment Of the party in CONVEX
ton assembled. Now they are sue
earnest party men that they propose
, support the nominee oflthe party sbefol
! he is nominated; andto ostracise ever
:. man who won't follow suit. 4 Il"
We want no quarrel with these gentl
!, men but every word they have pttere

. months, has lost us votes; and they ~
! never made convert to their cause sim
the world began and never will. Ths

THE RED WING WHEAT MARKET.

THE RED " hNG ~ 1AG1AA VAAn
We clip the following from the last
Grunge Adruncs, as to the Red Wing
wheat market:
Now the books OF two warehouses, at least,
show that wheat, up to the time mentioned 10
the Journal. was bought in this market az fol-
lows: FROM May LIST to May. 4th, y. ~ per
bushel: IRON the 4th to the 6th, $lW Per
bushel; from the 6th TO the 2Uth, an average
81 81 cents per bushel, and from The 18th TO
the 26th. at an average Of ~ cents per bushel.
The books of the Red Wing mills show that
up TO the Monday mentioned in the JonrHat
their wheat hid cost them an average Of one
dollar per bushel The fact i, that since the
starting Of the Red Wing nils ID TINS c.y,
This has been the best wheat market IN the
State.
This high price, higher than most Of
the markets Of the State, is thus ex-
planned: 49,
The TACT Is that wheat has been bo- ght at
Red Wing 1t Chicago prices, but TIE mistake
of the Journal il in thinking that al the wheat
| AZ this market il bought Tor Chica9o. Some Of
cur dealers have found II nose profitable 70

"Jasp9 continues the discussion of tn

''Jaspp continues the discussion of the
usury code as follows: pf
But let us see whether free trade in money
is expeGient, whether it will be beneficial
to Texas. '.All experience" says Kelley, a
great English writer on the subject of usury,
'teaches how Improbable it is for the law
to fix maximum rate Of interest, applica-
BILE to every period. "When the Legislature
fixes the rate of interest by law, it is itanta-
mount to saying that the Legislature knows
exactly, what money is worth, for surely it
would not say the owner of money should
take less than tits worth Then, If it know
exactly what is right, the law ought also To
declare that no one should borrow for Less
interest than that designated. In other
words the Legislature has no more right to
say that a citizen shall not loan money at
twenty per cent. thar. to say be shall not
borrow for less than twenty per cert. Either
would be interfering with privste rights.
Kelley also says that s'tiiere is no axiom
bt tier settled tnan that 'rnoney. like water,
will always find its own level The fair
minded, thinking world admits the absolute
truth Of this axiom. And it will be 70 the
peril Of Texas II the Convention now assem-
bled disregards it. The absence Of restric-
tion upon money in Texas and California,
N connection with the abundant oppoItuni-
ties in these States for the profitable use Of
money has been the cause Of drawing hum
dreds OF thousands Of dollars, and immi-
grants who own that money, and while 1t Is
said that s.hard times" exist IN Texas, the
citizens Of this State know nothing Of the
financial depression that exists elsewhere
But we want more money here, We want
more immigrants. The best inducement
possible is 30 leave the trtlde IN money free,
and so long as the use Of 1t is worth high
interest the money Of oth,sr States Will seek
q market here. and when the money Is
drawn the owners Of il viii be drawn along

skill to prepare the matter for the press /;
and then large sums for paper, press work
and preparation for the distribution to sub
scribers. The present postal law even re-
quires the publisher to pay postage in ad-
vance on all newspaper matter. Take all
these things into consideration, and should
it be expected that proprietor of news
paper shouId incur such heavy expenditures
to please the fancy of individuals. When
money is thus foolishly thrown away, the
people who ply for the paper are de-
frauded, for what money is expend-

anybody upon call. Merchants have learned
this, and the rule should apply to all per

nize this great necessity. 1t Is question
of profit and loss, and the press of Texas
should act unitedly upon the subject, or
one after one, year after year, usefnl papers
will be lost to every community.

PROPOSED SECTIONS.

The following short sections, each com
plete in itself, and containing only single
proposition expressed in unambiguous
terms, ,-are submitted in order that the Con
vention, should 1t think proper to do so,
may substitute them for the long prolix and
yet less comprehensive sections, copied
from the Missouri and Pennsylvania Con
stitutions, now under consideration, under
the head of sLegislative:"
Sec. 1. The Legislature shall have the
power to enact public and general laws.
Sec. 9. The Legislature shall haye the
power to enact public and local laws.
Sec. 3. The Legislature shall not have
the power to enact special laws.
Sec. 4. The Legislature shall not have
the power to enact public law to be ap-
Piled to particular case and to operate only
as a special law.
Sec. 5. The Legislature shall provide
that any person or persons, or corporation
or corporations, of any exclusively public
nature, that have or may have legal or qui-
table demand or demands against the
State, may sue the State.
The questions now considered by the
Convention, and covering only the ground
above defined, occupy several pages Of
printed matter and defy all rules of per
spicuous brevity. The whole twenty o.
thirty articles as proposed to be adopted
do not come up squarely to the main ISSUE
and prevent absolutely all special legisla
ton. The fifth section, as it Is here drawn
does away, wholly, with the necessity fo
special legislation, and yet affords publ,
corporations and individuals all op
portunities desirable for the acquisition o
such redress for the infringement of lega
and equitable rights as they may be enti
tied to have. Railways and other privat
corporations are not embraced within it
scope. OF the foregoing proposed section
each presents a separate and distinct prop
osition, covering different ideas and opln
ions. aaer ~

GRANTS EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH

We now know that Grant means business
He islon his way out West. He has been
living fast at Long Branch, and his habits
must needs undergo change. He must
cool off, and therefore abandons Murphy
and fast horses, and is found reading nice
out West. Our dispatches tell the pleasing
story and show how Grant is boxing the
compass and coming up on the strong side.
He has the cunning. and absolute want of
that popular opinion Is shifting, to change
with it his whole creed and policy. He
now stands by Pierrepont and Aleorn, as,
very recently, he stood by Ames and
Ben Butler. To keep afoat himself
he sinks every buoy and life-boat
that has heretofore borne him safely
into portland ''port'' into him. He is
only Radical on one subject, fact showing
the priestly influence of Bishop Simpson
over the conscience of this exceeding good
man. The President does not fail to give
the Romanists terrible blow, and to de-
clare for popular education and against sep
arate schools for Catholic children. We be-
lieve this is the first time in the worlds his
tory that Grant has entertained specific dis
tinct opinions in reference to any specific
public question. The supposed importance
of the speech is attested by the fact that it
was carefully written and as carefully read,
and these simple facts show that Grant at
taches infinite Importance to his assertions,
and deems himself candidate for the
Presidency. IL s7e eH .J
