Carl Schulz may well boast Of wonderful
genius illustrated in the tierceness and in
genuity of his assault upon Hendricks as
an adjunct of a ticket otherwise faultless
in CARTS specialized, dreamy eyes. But
CarIis an enthusiast, a dreamer, an optimist
and transcendentalist. HIS speeches are
finished orstions, aud, as hired lecturer,
he and Wendell Phillips are peerless. He
was hired regularly, on his return from Eu-
rope, to lecture on politics in Ohio, and
thus he served Hayes against Allen. He
was going, or threatened, not long ago, in
New York, to support Tl!den, if nominated.
This threat made the Radical demand and
compensation for his services greater, and it
was easier TO move in this groove aud use
the Hayes lecture against B llallen against
Hendricks, and thus Carl goes off like a
brilliant, lawless comet as he is Such a
man will hardly influence the opinions or
acts Of u solid thinker like Schleicher, or Of
bricks like Kessler, Kopperl and Wurz-
bach, and while we regret the sudden sum
mersault and the emptiness OF the pretext
for 1t given by the llustrious German rheto-
rician, we will see again, as when Carl
went off after Greeley, that his German
fellow-countrymen follow the lead of their
convictions and not OF fanciful orators.

Association.
The Texas and Pacific Railway charter
contemplated the construction of one thou
sand miles of road, and it's land grant was
Il, 500 600 acres. The act of May 4, 1871,
granted So, 600, 600 in bonds, provided the
road WAS completed 20 Fort Worth January

lion act was extended to January l, 1874,
May ., 1874, new and final ad justment of
rights of the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company was defined by the Legislature
and twenty sections per mile and an i'm
mense reservation was made for the Texas
aud Pacific in lieu of the SO, 900. 600 in
bonds; but the road was to be completed
to Fort Worth and Longview, Sherman and
Texarkana by July l, 1874. Failure in this
operated as forfeiture of the land grant
The act of April 80, 1874, extended the
time for compliance twelve months, J. e.
to July /, 1875. A special provision of the
general act oil March 10, 1875. extended
the time six months mor, i. e. to January
1875 and the ordinance of the Consti-
Iutional Convention of November 90, 1875,
extends the time for the completion of these
parts of the Texas and Pacific road to the
close of the present session of the Legisla-
ture, at which time. unless further relief
be granted, this company incurs forfeiture
of all rights under these provisos.
But the general act of March Is, 1875,
also demands that twenty miles of this
road from Brookston to Texarkana shall
be completed by November l, 1875. This
was not done and is not yet done, and on
this the Texas and Pacific company have
clearly forfeited all rights and claims against
the State. This part of the road is not yet
built, and the ordinance of the Constitu-
tional Convention extending the time was
not passed until twenty-five days after the
time specified by the amended act had ex-
pired. There is special clause appended
to the charter of the Texas and Pacific road
declaring the charter forfeited if ''any of

THE Inquirer -LpdeE says that it reioices
that the Senate has passed an act to lop
off the branches of the Supreme Court and
fix it permanently at the capital of the
State, where it should be. This thing of
having our court of last resort on wheels is
an unusual thing. Texas and Missouri, we
believe, are the only States where such has
been the case. Austin is the seat of gov
eminent, and will soon have two lines of
railroad centering there, enabling persons
desIrous of going there to do SO without in
convenience, and at reasonable charges.
The completion of the International Rail
road will remove all excuses for having
branches of the Supreme Court and Court of
Appeals at places other than the capital.
With the court permanently located, the
judges could be with their families all the
time; besides they would be saved the ex-
pense of travelling to and fro and paying
board, which are important items when we
take into cons Iteration the meagre salary
they now receive. Again, they would have
more time to devote to the duties pertain
ing to their positions, and have none of the
cares and annoyances that must attend a
migratory court. We hope that the Legis-
lature will put quietus upon the question
of locating the branches by passing this
bill at once, and that we may never hear of
the question being agitated in any future
Legislature, for it is simply disgusting to
read the efforts made by honorable gentle
men for this or that locality, wrangling
over the matter, occupying the time of the
Legislature when they could be engaged in
matters of greater importance.

Legislature; called attention to the neces-
sjty for legislation which should provide
mode for determining what counties, by rea-
son of having less than 5000 population, are
affec Ell under this clause. In some coun-
ties in the State, without any authority of
law, elections were held for an officer 10
discharge the duties OF both county and
district clerk and IN some Others the same
person was voted for and elected as county
clerk and MS district clerk. In such cases,
it is believed that the elections, so far as
the attempt to consolidate the two offices in
one is concerned, are null; nor is 1t believed
that the Legislature can gave them validity.
When the same person has been elected tn
the two offices OF county and district clerk,
or to discharge the duties of both, he
should be required TO choose one and sur
render the other. L., under such require

No MAN ever met such rivals in a national
convention as Tilden. Bayard, Parker,
Gen. Hancock, Allen and Hendricks, each
is great in any assembly, or country, or
capital, and yet, with the two-thirds rule
operative, Tllden was practically unop-
posed. Was there ever such a convention,
animated by such purposes, so irresistably
impelled by lofty moral and intellectual
qualities of man to choose him as the
leader of the people! The exigencies of
the year and of the country demanded alike
the nomination and compel the election of
Tilden.

DoN CAMERON, Simon's son, was injected

treason of the Camerons, Simon, Son &

was ever splaced in office by the people,
and when the people know that by voting
for Hayes they vote for the investiture of
