Mr.. Evans-I think that the Board of
Control ought to report to the Counsel be
fore ordering any thing.
Mr.. Burke-Do. the water and othkr
Committees report to the Counsel /?
Mr.. Evans-No.
Mr.. Burke-Then why should the Board
of Control do SO ?
Mr.. Funkhouser- They were needed,

good ones.

apiece.
The account was then allowed.

county. Mrs. Beard and, her daught er had
retiredto their sleeping room, whic. "A was
in the rear part of her dwelling, when Ome
man crept into the front room of the
house through the window, and made lis

the bed, pulling the bed clothes off of her
and her mother. She instantly awoke her
mother who called loudly for her son Sam,
when the villain left the way he came
through the window. After his departure
1t was found that he had brought with
him large club, which he forgot in his
hurry to carry off with him. Mrs. B. was
supposed to have some money on hand
which she expected to pay on her land in
few days, and the desire to possess this
money is supposed to have been the mo-

ALL OF the outspokcn Radical papers
and not few of the Independent one
nave. in abiding TO General Brecken-
ridge death, expressed sorrow(?) that the
course of such brilliant life should have
been darkened by one error, which caused
It to - out in obscurity.
General Breckenridge's whole life Was
tina, of AN honest man. Had he seen fit
t. follow the example Of Hon. BENJA-
MIN F. BUTLER and proven recrcant to
the principles which he had always pro-
fessed, he might to-day, have been occu-
plying equally rs high q position
in the opinion Of the Radical
party as does that distinguished luminary.
Or indeed he might have walked III the
footsteps of his staunch supporter for the
Presidency, Hon. EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
and lived and died as he did. But Cen

stuff. He preferred to live straight
forward life, and die, obscureiy it may be,
but still enjoying peace with the world,

cnce always bestows,

looked upon your action Us adisraptlon

I'd Of the consequences ofthe outrage YOU
proposed to infict upon Us at every step

but every note Of warning
only served to intensity your
mischieyous zeal for the Accomplishments
of your purpose. and tell you candid,

We desire no political utilization with
Won If we were to JON you in conven-
lion and YOU could not rule you would
ruip and if nominations were made that
aid not suit YOU, you would betray the

duced by the Ease representations OF
YOUR representatives in 1871 as to the
intense desire Of the Democrats OF your
section 10 have constitutional cOnven-
ton, and By their most solemn promises
never 10 move the seat of Gov
eminent from Charleston, to vote
for the bill calling the convention, and
then 10 vote for the call itself. Then we
were induced by the same sort of pro-
misses to vote for the adoption Of the new
constitution. and without our votes both
the convention and the constitution would
have been lost We trusted you and
we're BETRAYED. You violated, shameful
" violated every pledge which one man
could give to another on this capital
question, and YOU should stand disgraced
in the eyes of all honorable men. And
then vOu took charge OF and controlled
the entire legislation Of the State I'M
der the new constitution and what have
YOU done? If YOU undertook to pass
new law. YOU could not make 1t inteh-
gible and if YOU undertook to re enact
AN old one YOU could Rot oven copy 1t
correctly. Ii YOU undertook to repeal
law or certain sections OF a law you were
sure IL make II blunder Us TO the law or
section YOU intended to repeal, and If by
mistake You got anything right, and you
never did this except by mistake, you
were sure to 90 to work u soon rs you dis

A Fearful Clerical Scandal.

Chicago Tribune.
The Clmrmont IN. " Episcopal
Church has trightful scandal which has
eliminated in petition to Bishop Oden-
heimer far the removal Of the pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Batten. The otfense
committed by this abandoned man is
almost too shocking for publication, but
the press is frequently compelled, IN the
interests of morality, to dlvulge hldeous
secrets, and make use of horrible sug-
grstions. 1t WAS found, then, that Mr.
Butten was criminalY impecunious. He
had nothing in the world to live
upon but the salary paid him by the
congregation. In addition t. this, he
had committed the uneNnmpIed enor-
nifty OF CARRYING nome his marketing in
a basket. and to crown all, was convict
ed Of carrying = broom home under his
arm. This conduct WAS 50 at variance
with that Of the popular and fashionable
preacher of the day, that the congrega-
ton was naturally scandalized. Indeed, It
is a question whether those illiterate and
plebiau Apostles Peter and Paul, who
earned their living respectively by catch
ing unpleasant fish and making strong
smelling tents, could by any possibility
hope for pulpit engagements III this our
ari.tocra,ia and sensitive fraction OF

TEXAS AND NEW ORLEANS RAIL-
WAY.

An advertisement appears in the
Houston Telegraph for sealed propo-
sails for rebuilding the Texas and New
Orleans Railway, from Houston, via
Liberty and beaumont, to Orange, on
the Sabine river. This road was
formerly known as the "Gentry Road,n
and was constructed rather hurriedly
and very poorly some years before the
war. 1t was run for while in con-
nection with stages to Brashear City,
but although 1t avoided the disagree
able sea route from Galveston, was
never popular or profitable road, and
ut the commencement or during the
war 1t was virtually abandoned, and
ultimately went to utter ruin. The
road drew its proportion of the school
fund (siX thousand dollars to the mile,
for Its whole length to Orange, dis
lance of about ninety miles, and that
amount, we presume, il lost to the
school fluid, Upon the completion OF
the new road, there will be still gap
of some one hundred miles or more
from Orange to Brashear City, where
1t will connect with Morgan's New
Orleans road.
