AVERY COON MOVE.

1t is very certain that the present
system of district representation in
tho Legislature does not give sat
isfaction to the people Of the State.
Why this is so, VIC need not stop
now to enquire, but merely state
the fact. This general dissatisfac-
ton will no doubt induce tho con-
vcntion to return to tho old system
Of county and MISREPRESENTATION.
70 illustrate the working Of this
system by an example, let us sup
pose Dallas county to have n SUI
licicnt population for one represent
ativc, and half enough for n seconds
and that the same should be true
of Collin county. In that case Dali
las and Collin would have each n
representative of its own, and might
be thrown together to form iloater
district, which should elect repre-
sentative by joint vote.
In tho formation Of these fl cater
districts and in tho apportionment
of representation, there seems to be
but one just criterian, and that is
the registered voters of the State.
MauifestIy, it would DO unfair to
make the upportionment on the basis
Of the Federal census of 1870. Since
that period, some sec tions of tho
State, ours for insta nee, have great
ly outstrippcd othcrs, and less IA
vored regions and in any new law,
affecting representation, we should
have tho FIJI advantage of our
growth. This is so perfectly in ac-
cord with the fundamental idea of
our republican system that it will
hardly be controversial. Neither
do we think there will be any cavil
with the only test now possible to
fix the present population of tho
counties.
In this connection we are pleased
to learn from private letter of
Governor Coke to n citizen of Dali
las, that he has directed the county
clerks to forward to the Office of
Secretary of State, certified alb
stracts of the registered voters OF
the counties. This data at the seat
of government will enable the Con-
vcntion TO act intclligently on this,
one of the most important subjects,
which will engage its attention.

In regard TO tho advantages
which would accrue TO Dallas, from

citizens are also fully alive to them,
but in our present condition, We can
not SEQ how we can do more than we
have done. Dallas, like other now

VERY good for the Hill county
Record In its issue of the 9TH, il
makes q strong point against the
demagogues who talk about ahol'
ishing tho free school system. We
commend the following extract
from tho Records article, to the
good sense of our readers:
A good deal of buncom be has of late
been expended on this subject by
would-be delegates to the Constitution
al Convention. Some of these dema-
gngues going so far as to ex-
press themselves in favor OF ahols
ishing the system, IN toto. 1t
is true the present system, like its
Radical forerunner under DeGress, has
caused general dissatisfaction. The
latter almost as much as the former.
Nevertheless, the fact of our having a
set of incapables IN the Legislature
who were either too ignorant or too
prejudiced OF both together, to draft a
decent school law, need not deter US
from making another attempt With
our magnificent school fund already
set apart and thousands of acres of
school lands, there is nothing to him
der US from giving free education for
at least six months in the year to
every child in the State, except the
want Of brains and craftsmanship In
the Legislature.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE IN
ENGLAND,

In Great Britain there is "Post-
Office Life Insurance" system, which
reduces the premiums, to tho mini
mum, and is operated through the
offices of the postal department or
course the government guarantees
the payment of the policy when
due, This institution, one would
think, would be largely patronized
by the pcople-tho mechanics and
working men particularly, who are
naturally distrustful of ordinary
Life Insurance, companies. But that
has not been the case. In the nine
years this system has been in opera
ton, the receipts, it is said, have
scarcely covered expenses. Various
have been the reasons assigned for
this failare, such as the improvi
dencc of the English people of the
working classes, the cumberous and
complicated nature of the tables,
etc.; but tho true reason, perhaps,
us suggested by the Ne0 York Iri-
June is, that under the government,
the whole system is manipulated
by the officers of the postal service,
and no agents are sent amongst the
people to explain the system, and
TO solicit business,
1t is q fact, known to Life 1nsu-
rance men, that not one policy hold
or in a hundred comes voluntarily,
at his own suggestion, to be insured.
fla man wants insurance on his
goods, or his house, he will readily
enough seek q fire insurance
office, but if it is question of in
suring his own life, no has TO be
hunted up, and hunted down, as it
were, by an importunnte agent, be-
fore he will consent TO make sure
provision for his family after his
death.
In this matter of life insurance
men in general show much selfish
ness, and neglect of a very plain
duty to their families, and so
thought the enlightened govern
ment of England, when they took
away the last argument against the
system, by assuming the payment Of
policies out of the national ex-
chequer. That the advantages of
the system have not generally been
accepted by the people, is no argu-
ment against its merits, for it was
many years before the intelligent
people, either in Europe or Ameri-
ca. could be induced TO adopt vaeci-
nation, as n preventive Of small pox-
We have no government insurance
in this country, bat we have relia-
bic life insurance companies and
ordinary prudence requires that
every head Of a finally, pot other
wise independent, sboaId lay by q
sure provision for bis family by

The Chicago Ipter-Qcean recently

The Chicago InteI-Qcean recently
devoted two columns to blood-curd-
ling account of an alleged Southern
outrage" in Washington county, Tex
as, in which one man was killed by
"Southern butchers" for political pur-
poses.n After an ardent harangue in
the old style, the Inter-Ocean says:
There must be freedom of speech
everywhere under the flag. The man
who Is beaten and driven from the
stump, rs at Independence, Texas, be-
comes ever after living monument
of the weakness of the Union. There
must be protection to human life,
which means death to assassins every
where under the flag. The memory OF
the murdered negroes at Independ-
ence, Texas, and the fact that their
murderers go free, constitutes an ever
