Mr.. WILLIAM HEIMCKE, clerk in
the quartermaster's department, Uni
ted States army, at Leavenworth, has
gotten himself tangled up sentiment
ally. Some time since, while he was
u private soldier at Fort Dodge. he
wooed and won fair lauudress. AMER
the honeymoon the bride was placed
at school. He claims to have been di-
vorced. The other day he met Miss
Belle GRANGER, daughter off. w. Gram
Ger, Esq, of Leavenworth. The re-
suit was clandestine marriage, a pill
grimage to the parental roof, the bride
retained in her room and the young
man shown the door. Thus terminates
the first act of the Kansas comedy of
"Married for half an hour. ~

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
A Bugle Note From Dallas County
Interesting Reading to Legislators.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Your able advocacy of Il call for
constitutional convention commends
itself to the approval of the honest aud
patriotic citizens everywhere, and We
trust that il is no intrusion If we ask
space for II few til oughts upon that sub
ject. There is being rehear-ed ut Aus.
tin little comedy Dy our legislators,
which would he laughable Indeed, ii
some of the consequences thereof were
not extremely disastrous to us all as
citizens vitally interested in the
present welfare and future pros
perity of our state. The extraordinary
submissiveness and abject terror of our
assembl Solods before the uplifted
scourge of the Galena Caesar. is very
refreshing spectacle in this age OF
brass.
IT their action in this crisis has any
significance, any meaning whatever,
it is that the security Of the people,
their liberties and their lives depend
not upon constitutions and laws, but.
like Turkish slaves, they hold such
priceless blessings ut the nod of a des-
pot and the breath of II drunken presi-
dent can tcpple over government,
established by the best blood of our
fathers, and sustained by the hopes
and wishes of million of honest pa
triots. II such he the fact, Mr.. Editor,
the issue might as well be made now
as ever. If the people are prepared TO
thus surrender their liberties, We had rs
well surrender them now as at any
time hereafter, for IL will end our sus-
pense, and when tyranny comes We
can meet 1t with either the courage of
brave men or with the uncomplaining
acquiescence of slaves. But such shall
low pretexts deceive 10 one, and such
mis- srsble subterfuges cannot avail to
hoodwiisk the people into the belief
that the hesitancy of our legislators in
this matter is not inspired by inter-.
ested and selfish motives. IL Is known
by all that our senators and representa-
tives were elected upon platform
pledging them to an immediate call
Of a constitutional convention. They
were all, before their election, loud in
the proclamation of their extreme
anxiety to haze one called. The peo-
pie of the whole state know that our
present constitution is the Infamous
result Of a still more Infamous con-
spiracy, entered into by ba ded adj
venturers, scslawags aud scoundrels,
to rob, oppress and ruin the people.

The legislature OF Kansas, represent
ing people who are supposed to he
anxious to cultivate commercial rela-
tions with the south, particularly
Texas, have seen fit to endorse the
Grant and Sheridan infamy in LOU
isiana. This body would hardly take
such step without knowledge that
it would crafty the constituents they
represent. Their right to endorse Sher-
idan's outrageous libel upon helpless
people rests with the. .nselves, ofcourse,
but they must remember that as far as
Texas is concerned she has already put
herself on the record as in sympathy
with the people of Louisiana, and that
If Kansas and other states, whose
commercial travellers are wont to
swarm In Texas In search of trade, de-
sire our trade they should see that
few demagogues in a legislature do not
commit their state to a policy which
will end In u loss of trade to Kansas,
and total alienation of sympathy
with her people. Kansas has long
borne the reputation of pretty
rough state, but she is not not 80
rough that self-interest will not make
her civils,i for nothing but for policy,
she should: d:assume q virtue If she has
it not. This thing of abusing and
libeling our people, and at the same
time having the impudence to ask our
trade and patronage, Is the apotheosis
of cheek. 1t is the wish of our people
to entertain none but the best social
and commercial intercourse with Kan
sas, but Texas will not see a sister state
outraged by Kansas Legislature with
out entering an indignant protest, and
If necessary, trading elsewhere. We
can't hope to touch the convictions of
the average Kansas man, but loss Of
our trade will convert the most violent
endorser of Sheridan into "as mild
hammered man as ever cut throat or
scuttled ship.

THE MILITARY FEVER AMONG US.

We understand that call will be
shortly made for q meeting to organize
military company by IL number of
the officers and men who have seen
service in both amries during. the
late war, and received honorable dis
charges, as well by some ofthe young
er generation who have yet to smell
gunpowder. The Importance to our
city of thoroughly drilled and officer
ed volunteer military company cannot
be overestimated. 1t will afford ex-
crcise and a knowledge of arms and
military routine to many. 1t will en-
able the veterans who have hitherto
been arrayed in hostility to march
shoulder to shoulder and practically to
"shake hand over the bloody chasm."
Galveston, Houston, Austin and San
Antonio have already organized COM
panies, which are an honor to them,
and Dallas should not be behind them
in this respect. We have in our worthy
mayor graduate cf West Point, in
DIR. Thurston one of the best colonels
of the army of northern Virginia; in
Capt. Odell gallant eX-federal officer,
who has in his day "heard great guns
roar" in Capt. G. G. Rivers, pupil of
u Virginia military school, who grad
uated "wearing the grey" and many
than ia onIandih
material for rank and file, and with
that splendid hall Major Blades is
building on Commerce street for an
armory, there is no telling what
crack company mightno be gotten up.
The ladies', who ''dearly love the
military" are taking an interest in
"The Rifles" OF course there will
come in due time, the first parades, the
presentation of colors by the ladies and
the first grand ball. When all this
comes off, the man in plain clothes
will have to take back seat for those
handsome fellows in killing uniforms
will be- all the rage, and not to belong
to "The Rifles" will be suicidal in any
am bilious youth. The old soldiers will,
many of them, be pleased to review
the familiar sights and sounds of mill
tary life even in time of peace, while
we are quite sure the majority of our
citizens would have just cause to be
proud of the fine body of men Dallas
could put in the ranks.

IL Is full of falsehood, folly and cor
ruption, devouring itself by its incon-
sistencies, and Is Il disgrace to great
people and proud state like ours.
At the democratic state conven-
ti0n held mt Corsicana, the delegates
there assem- bled gave forth no uncer-
tain sound. They demanded the
call Of n convention to frame new
constitutions fnr our state ut the earliest
practicable day by the Legislature then
about to be elected. At the Austin
state convention, when Governor
Coke was nominated, the democracy
of the state, by their delegates, made
the calling of this constitutional con-
vention q cardinal plank in the plat
form of the patty, and all of our pres
ent officers, executive and legislative,
then and there promised the people to
give them u new constitution. Yet
the legislators elected upon this plat
form had no sooner seated themselves
in power and tasted the weets of state
noteriety and eight dollars day, than
they began to waver, hesitate and con-
jure up imaginary difficulties and
finally postponed the calling OF this
convention until next session.
In the meantime by every demo-
cratic convention held in this state,
congressional or otherwise, their doubts
and scruples in this matter were most
emphatically and decisively repudia-
ted. Notwithstanding these continu-
Gus and uninterrupted demands OF the
people our legislators are again enjoy
ing scruples at the rate of eight dollars
a day, and for such gross dereliction
of duty they have the miserable excuse
that should Y convention he called
Grant would declare it illegal, issue his
ukase and remand us back to our for
mer government. Suppose that he
should. Would not Governor Coke
and democratic legislature still have
control of that government such was
the proposition of Grant in his Arkan-
sas message and such action on his
part would only place us back where
we now stand and we would lose
nothing by this usurpation should it
occur.
A bill has already passed the senate,
referring the call of constitutional
convention to the people, ana strange
to say, this bill hangs fire in the house.
Do they distrust the people, or are they
afraid of their verdict ? Are they our
masters, or our servants? Do they
represent US or themselves
Mr.. Editor, such DISCUSSES are trans.
parent, and an insult to the honesty
and intelligence of their constituents.
BY passing the senate bill, the vote
upon this matter would not be taken
till the first of August next, which
would give the people ample time to
fully discuss and understand their
wants, if they are not as the fourteenth
legislature would have us believe, too
stupid to understand anything.
