TAAE JURY BILL.

The jury bill, as it originally passed in
the Senate, was one of the most admirable
laws ever enacted. In the House it met
with some opposition, and was at last re-
ferred to q committee from both houses,
and dissgreements settled. The bill was
then passed, and stands upon the statute
books in the shape it came from the joint
committee, and has so gone to the country
as law. Later in the session q supple
mental bill, to cure some defects, was
passed, and should be understood. The
following are the features of the supple
mental bill: .r
1. The jury commissioners in the district
and county courts are required to make du-
plicate jury lists, one of which is delivered
by the judge to the clerk of the other court
under oath. The object of this is to ena-
BILE the commissioners of each court to
know the names of those selected as jurors
in the other court. -"b 'S
3. The regular panel for a week, set
aside for trial of jury cases, is left to the
discretion of the judge, and is not CON-
posed of any definite number of jurors.
This is to enable the judge to make the
panel large enough to always have names
in, the box to supply the place of those
challenged, SO as to avoid the evil of taking
bystanders. .r.
8, A jury fee once paid cannot be with.
drawn. .r 7G i.s..JS3 r.e
The above amendments would have beer
unnecessary had the original Senate bill
passed as it was first prepared.

TIE candidacy of Col. G. W. Jones will
result by no means in his own election to
Congress, but may secure that Of ex-Gov-
ernor Davis. The Davis wing Of the Re-
publican party is opposed to the candidacy
of Hon. A. P. Mccormick, and will not
permit him, with their sanction, to become
a candidate for Congress. In the mean
tune the Davis men intend to hold Jones
on the track till the last moment, when
they viii hsmstring him, and the race will
be ended between Gtddings and Davis.
Such maneuver in favor of Mccormick
might succeed, but with Davis, against
whom there il so much prejudice, there is
no hopes OF the Radicals succeeding, even
with Col. Jones helping them up to the
last moment. fs r u.a g

AUSTIN, TEXAS, August 30, 1876.
To Td1 Aesess0rs: - af 7-
The tax laws passed by the Fifteenth
Legislature have changed the tax system
in many important particulars; and these
laws will be distributed to the revenue
officers as soon as they can be printed.
In view of complications that may arise
from the action Of officers under the old
law, it Is deemed proper to issue the fol-
lowing Instructions: a' Pug
1. Tax Assessors will not make assess
ments of the unrendered lands Of unknown
and nonresident owners for the present
year. II Is imprscticable for assessors to
make out lists of the surrendered. lands
owned by nou-residents, as the abstracts OF
titled snd patented lands are incomplete,
and the lists cannot be made correctly,
.. Assessors will not take renditions of
real estate for any other years than the
current year 1875. Parties who may de-
sire to render real estate for back taxes,
and pay the tax thereon, will not be al
lowed to do so ct present, as the law rela-
tive to back taxes provides peculiar modes
Of assessment and payment Of taxes due
thereon. STEPHEN II. DARDEN,
Comptroller.

WHAT WILL RR DOf


We could devote columes to the record
Of crimes now being perpetrated in Texas.
Out Of scores of exchanges the exception
Is to examine one which does not contain
an account of one or more fearful crimes.
Murder is daily on the increase, and in por-
lions Of the State whole communities are
given over tn the work Of blood. Eagle
Lake has just had its fearful tragedies;
Goliad county is in state of internecine
war; Brazoria county is reported to be on
the eve Of dealing recklessly with human
life, and throughout the wide State OF
Texas we read of violence. A few days
since the STATESMAN insisted that it was
unjustifable to attribute this lawlessness in
Texas to influences operating on the part OF
Its present Chief Executive. We would
believe that his ExcellencY Is as much OPP
posed to lawIessness as any man in Texas,
but through his acts Of omission he be-
comes criminslly connected with the pres
emit condition OF affairs in the State. Crime
has undoubtedly increased since the Fiji
teenth Legislature assembled, and there is
mora need Tor coercive measures to-day than
there was i've months ago. Yet the Legis-
ia,ure saw the pressing necessity for some
kind Of police system by which the hives
Of citizens could be protected, and after
irving one and another bill TO meet such
enis all Of which met with the oppositsou
OF the Executive, II passed one, the sher'

THE WESTERN NARnOW GAUGE


A pamphlet issued by the Western Mar.
row Gauge Railway Company represents
that twenty-five mules of the road, running
from Houston towards the RIO Grande, is
now completed and in running order. The
company announces its intention 70 finish
the road to LAGrange by the first of
April 1877, and then to prosecute its
extension westward with vigor. The char
ter line Of this road runs within thirty
miles Of Austin, and it becomes matter
of importance to place it in connection
with this place. After leaving LaGrange
it crosses the Colorado river, end next
touches Lockhart. From this point road
could be built 70 this city and put in run
ming order for not exceeding $3.50, OO0 The
line OF extension beyond Lockhart DIVORCES,
one moving towards Presidio county and
thence to the Pacific coast, while an
other line is to be extended northwest,
through Young Territory 10 point of juno
ton with the Denver and Rio Grande Rail
way. These routes pass over q magnif-
cent country, and there is reason to believe
that the next five years will see much of
the road completed. The great West will
be developed, and its increase in popula-
ton, together With the rich mineral dis
tricts Of Preside county, will guar
antee railway connection, and this
road will be built. Austin should
not permit this thoroughfare to
pass so near without resping benefits
from it, and we give these facts, asking
our people to wake up to new life, and by
turning attention and capital to such un-
dertakings as this, prepare for nagnif-
cent future. 1t is probable the main line
of this road might be induced to pass
through this city, and it is point that our
real estate men and merchants should look

Upon her statement, which seems fully
corroborated by your letter to her, AID her

quest, il seems TO me that she has been
very badly treated, especially in view of
the fact that she is very poor and now des-
titute OF the means to return TO Houston

her destitute aud unprotected condition is

there does not, that she has claims upon
somebody to be reimbursed her expenses

and the life and protection of its citizens.
How long we are to be thus BUNDLED, God
only knows. A year or two ago, Governor
Coke adopted extraordinary measures in re-
gard to establishing law and order in De-
Witt county, and he has the same way
open to him now. Will he act, or has he
used the people of Texas until he has
reached the height of his political ambi-
ton, and does he now contemplate nothing
but his own personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT?
