BY A gentleman from Brown coun-

that county in the last year has been
very great. The county, so lately sub
ject to Indian raids, is assuming the
habiliments of an old settled county.
Brentwood, the county seat, is beau

county, on Pecan bayou, and is grow

pie prefer trading with Dallas to other
large towns much nearer.

TO ns Legislature:
At the advent Of q new year, when the public
bodies assemble to consult in respect 70 the affairs

thought should be TO offer up devout Thanksgiving

Our great Commonwealth comprises population
Of more than four and a half miibons-iargeiy ex-
ceedng that of the whole United States at the
formation of the Federal Goysrnment-and en-
bracing vastly more extensive and diversified inter
ests and activities Our sense of duty ought to be
commensurate with the magnitude of the trust
conferred upon us by the people. Forming as our
State does. SO important part Of the American
Union, the benefits of an improved polity. o. Wise
legislation and of good administration are not con-
fined TO our own citizens but felt, directly and
by their example, in our sister States and IN our
National reputation throughout the world. Mind
full, with you, of these considerations, proceed 10
perform the duty enjoined by the Constitution upon
the Governor TO communicate, by message to the
Legislature. the condition Of the State and TO
recommend such matters TO them az he shall deem
expedient.'

The existing civil remedies applicable to such
cases are no less inadequate. For the last three
years the spectacle has been exhibited on the con-
spcuous theater of our great metropolis of fraudu-
lent officials remaining in quiet possession and
making unobstructed disposition Of great wealth
which we are morally certain was derived from
their spoliation of public trusts, Notwithstanding
legal proof of the conclusive nature exists of
their guilt. In the mean time, civil actions have
been dragging their slow length along. as in Ord-
