The Dallas Herald tells of n young woman
arrested Tor stealing and found by the Off
GERS on the Central road with the msney on
her person. The officers in charge of the
thief were Obliged to take her to Dallas,
but when the train arrived, having no war
rant they were forced, at that place, to give |
up the woman to her husband for whom /
she sent. and the loving pair walked off,
Champs Carter, ESQ, of the Texas dele
cation, tells us he was half frozen in Gin |
cinnati on the sixteenth, and that his nose
felt as big as the proboscis Of rhlnos-
rhenos. The Radical Cincinnati Times says,
that, including Carter, the delegation is a
splendid looking body of gentlemen. They
went, we are told, through Halls IRON safe
factory, and, we suppose, found the flock

a drunken man was brought to the police
station in Houston and committed to Jail
at the request of his wife, q beautiful wo-
man, bearing her young child in her arms.
AS the doors closed on the drunken brute
he hurled the foulest oaths after her. If
more women possessed the spirit shown by
this unfortunate wife, depraved men would
learn that even n wife cannot always be in
suited with impunity.
The several counties of Texas should
publish statements of their financial cOndi-
ton. Immigrants would avoid those in
debt, and it is wrong to mislead or delude
them. Those wisely governed will have
great advantages over those that have been
plundcred by rabble-chOsen placeholders.
1t "A county owe debt and have railroad
to show for 1t, it can lose nothing, and all
the facts should be given.
A tasteful contemporary says it likes the
STATEsMAN's freshness, vivacity aud origin

The East Terds Patron wants to know
whether Falconer, editing the Ennis County
Ne,cs, be the same fellow who robbed the
city or county of Montgomery, Alabama,
of SIS. 900, fed to Florida, and, TO escape
| a reouisition, came to Texas. If the story
be true, the press will make Texas, as it
should, too hot for Falconer. He must so
back and disgorge, and not empty his
morals upon Texans through newspaper.
The Denton RepieC is grieved to say that
in Texas small children are put in peniten'
tiaries with murderers and thieves; but the
Reoieo errs in thinking the convention
should make statutory laws affecting this
wrong. A Constitution Is the framework
of government, and statutory laws are Its
Notwithstanding. All questions of an
ephemeral nature should be disposed of by
the Legislature, and not by a constitutions
| convention.
The Burnet Bulletin is now owned and
edited by George Whitaker. His saluta
tory is eminentlY figurative. He describes
himself as an old pilot, just come on
board, and then he humps himself and
clews the mainsail, scrapes off barnacles,
knocks the "devil down with a marlin
spike, and this tragical scene constitutes
the novel "sslutatory," so called. HI
wants new Constitution right now.
