bales (two) were baptized, amid loud
cheers. Railroads propose to carry
them to any part of the world free

REaIISTNATION.

There is one point to which we
would call the especial attention OF
tho approaching Convention. 1t is
the necessity of abolishing all reg
lstration ofvoters. We speak from
stern experience, when We assert
that no feature fastened upon us by
the present Constitution is so uni
vorsaIly odious to tho people IN
this part of Texas. Almost without
exception thcy dctcst it. 1t has
kept hundreds Of the best men IN
Dallas county, and thousands IN
North Texas from voting, for six
years. Under the mildest and best
system of registration far greater
wrong is done to tho purity Of the
ballot box than ever occurred under
tho old systom of voting. win
five election officers at each voting
place, backed up by the scrutiny OF
candidates or their friends, it rarely
happens that an illegal vots is cast;
and, in case Of II contested election,
it is easy TO detect all such.
Wipc out tho whole idea of regis
traton, and follow the long tried
plan of former times. 1t will do
more than any ono thing to revive
in tho hearts Of tho people an inter
est in the affairs of the country,
In the days of tho carly fathers
and down to the death Of Clay,
Webster, Calhoun, Benton, llons-
ton, Rusk--indoed, down to the
close of the war, no Southern or
Western Safe ever imposed tho
vexation and odium Of registration
on tho people. In Texas its effects
have been evil and evil only, and it
stands condemned by our people as
an engine of wrong and oppression.
The delegation from this District,
we understand, stand as n unit for
its abolition.

Land Certificates and the InIcrnatiOn-
nj Tax Exemption.
Galveston News.

II is known that the land certificates
issued to the International Railroad
Company, under the net of compro-
mise passed ut the second session of
the Fourteenth Legislature, are being
industriously located. The law author.
izing the issue of these certificates eX-
empts every foot OF land upon which
they are located from State and coun-
ty taxes. This is nothing new, but IL
isS pretty certain that these certti-
Gates are being located in some of the
oldest and most fertile counties in the
State, on land, for example, in the
counties between the Brazos and Colo
RADIO, in the Caney and Oyster Creek
country; and 1t Is n matter of interest
how at this late day vacant land can
be found in such localities. There has
been, among some lawyers, ever since
the passage of the law, a question as
to whether these certificates might
not be located npon patented tax-paying
lands, and, through the connivance of
the owners of the same IN suits setting
aside patents, Judgment by agreement
of parties entered up, so that these val
liable tax-paying lands should be
opened for patent under the location of
the International certificates, aud ex-
empted thereby from taxation for
twenty-five years. If this process IL
legal, then It is easy to understand
how the location of such certificates in
the oldest counties and upon the most
valuable lands In the State may be eff
fected. Those who visit the courts see
on the record judgments by agreement
OF parties, annulling in effect the old.
est headlight land grants In the State.
IL Is quite common to hear OF the pos
SCISSORS OF headlights for a generation
under patents issued from our Land
Office, submitting by compromise to
the setting aside of their claims and to
the recognition of some other claim.
The policy of the country Is to discount
tenance litigation and encouraging
compromise, the courts usually enter

far greater consideration? And
II this can be done, where are the ex-

ment to come from? This may be
added to another perplexing problem

Tue Now York Sun has tins to
say in regard to tho letter of Mr..
Davis, rcvoking his acceptance of
an invitation to deliver the address
before tho Winnebago county (llli-
nois) Agricultural Society:
The letter which we published yes
terday from Jefferson Davis to the
Winnebag0 county Agricultural Socie-
ty is marked by dignity, Intelligence,
and sentiment Of patriotism. 1t does
credit to It's author and without con.
tanning n single word in oondemnn-
ton of those who have violently OPP
posed and prevented his contemplated
visit to Illinois, it leaves them in an
unenviable position. We take pleasure
in saying these words on such M oc-
casiOn.
Abiding to tho same letter, tho
New York Herald says:
ut is gratifying that, even under
the eXasperating circumstances which
tlluut wi. ltttNl Nv
preserved 10 much good temper M to
exceed any former effort he may have
made toward the restoration of friead-
ly feeling between the sections.
Mr.. Davis has done much toward the
restoration of II better feeling, and,
while we regret that he is not to have
the opportunity to make the address
he had contemplated, we are pleased
that the occasion of the invitation was
turned to such excellent account. His
letter IL frank and manly, and must do
good, especially in the North"
The Louisville Courier Journal,
more than usually generous, says
the blind bigots who have raised
such row about tho matter have
simply illustrated tho folly Of tho
fool 10 the fable who bit off his
nose to spite his face. The Phila-
delphia Times is severe upon the
savages, and says that Mr.. Davs's
course is rs creditable as that of the
organs, who have howlod themselves
hoarso over tho subject, has been IN
cendiary. Had he gone to Winnie
bago the probability is he would
have made n very sensible address,
and told his hearers great many
things they did not know before.

our FUTURE,

Texas il, in limited sense, in n
transition state. Her great iounda
tion for future greatness is agricul-
ture--agriculturc because Other soil,
her climate and the variety of her
staple productions, which are sugar,
cotton, wheat, rye, oats, barley ana
corn. OF these sugar, cotton ana
wheat enter tho arena of commerce
as staples probably justifying ship
mcnt abroad. We are now passing
from tho condition of n pastoral,
stock. growing people, tosthat of ono
who export largely of the staples
named. In conjunction with this
transition, from the nature OF things,
the abundance Of raw materials,
such as food and crude materials,
we must steadily become also n
manufacturing State. Within lcss
than ten years all tho wagons, agri-
cultural implements, cotton and
wooden goods worn by laborlng
men and women, will BIO fabricated
in our own State. These facts nc
compIIshcd, we shall then build
up an export trade in the same ar
ticIes. Our future market is close
Mt hand, and will keep pace with
our capacity to supply. 1t has an
ocean front from The mouth of the
Rio Grand to Capo Horn, and en-
braces one half fall Spanish Amer
lea, with population of 25,OOO,OOO
souls. Such being the case, despite
the wild maxims of theorists, Texas
must needs become not only an ag-
ricnltura and manufacturing, but II
commercial State, Agriculture,
Manufacture, Commerce - these
three are twin sisters in the future
of our great State. At tho very
base Of all this future grandeur lies
one question which, so lar as Texas
is concerned, must be settled by our
Constitutional Convon ton, and that
is the regulation by law Of interest

 The dreaded town.meeting day is over, and the anxiety about the High School proved to be without cause, as there was nothing said sbout discontinuing it, but as usual, a sum of money was appropriated for its support another year. The town also voted that the Centre district have . new school house built on the High School grounds. The Rev. Norman Kellogg has offered to buy the land where the old build ing now stands, and Mr. J. M. Benjamin will buy the building itself, and Judge Bradford will pay something toward hay ing it moved, as it joins his land. There is talk of select school being started for the children in the village who are just com mencing to learn. A school of that kind is what has long been needed and we hope it will succeed if started. The water has been up some, but not as high as it ire quently IS at the going off of tue snow, al- though there was much dsngcr of losing bridges from the great quantity of ice which almost rested against them, and which on breaking up suddenly, would take everything before it. In one place, by the large covered bridge. while some men were working trying to mako a pas sage for the ice, one young man was sepa- rated suddenly from the rest and found himself sailing off on . cake of Ice. and although knowing his great danger. they could net help laughing at his fright, but he was finally rescued without any serious damages......As the warm weather comes on the inhabitants of the upper part of the village begin to dread the raid of the owls who have g nest in large tree in the yard of Ar. Wm. Ssxton, and who claim all the chickens they can get their great eyes upon. There ought to be a turnout of the inhabi- tants to try and capture the nuisances be- fore they do much damage.

BoRAx FOR CoLDs-A writer in tho Medical Record cites a number of cases n which borax has proved most effectual remedy in curing certain forms of colds. He states that in sudden hoarsness or loss of voice in public speakers or singers, from colds, relief for an hour or 90, as by magic. may be obtained by dissolvine and partially swallowing a lump of borax the size of Q garden rea, or about three or four grains held in the mouth for ten minutes before speaking or singing. This produces . profuse secretion or watering" of the mouth and throat-probably restoring the voice of tone.to the dried vocal cords, just as "wetting" brings back the missing notes to flute, when 1t is too dry.
