SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS, August 8, 1879.

TO the Editor of the Herald.
DEAR SR-Your editorials in your
issue OF the lst inst, on education etc,
reminds me of tho action of the District
Conference of the sulphur Springs dis
trict NJ, Il. Church South, Mt Winsboro
on the Doth of July. The conference
had determined to establish ~ school
somewhere in the district. PROPOSE
tons were made to tho conference by
the citizens of Winsboro in Wood
county of Grccnvillc and Sulphur
Springs, each to try to secure the loca-
ton of the school. Greenville proposed
to donate ten acres Of land upon which
to erect n suitable building, and three
thousand dollars in money. Winsboros
proposition was about the same as
that of Grccnvillc. At u meeting OF
the citizens of Sulphur Springs ON
ho Did of july we rendered
rs gift TO the conference four acres
of land and our school building, one Of
the largest and best arranged houses in
the State, amounting in the aggregate tC
nearly ten thousand dollars. Our prop
osition was accepted and the school 10
Gated at this place, now the conference
with the aid of our people are deter
mined to leave nothing undone that il
necessary to be done to build up an in
stitution of learning in our midst tina
will rank with any in the South, Proper
steps are already being taken to procur,
able and experienced teachers to fiji
each department., with man with ma
tional reputation at its head, etc Nor
anon.

SPOKEN LIKE A MAN.

TmE HERALD records with unusual
pleasure the manly utterances of the
Hon, G. b, Pickett Of Wise county,
upon the adjournment question, which
50 agitated the House. George Pickett
is the misrepresentation of a chiyahous
and intelligent constituency who will
applaud and confirm his every vote
He has spoken ont like n man and Il
true representative, and he deserves
high honors for it, These are his re-
marks
Mr. Pickett rose to n question of priv
ilegc and asked to have the following
explanation read and spread upon the
journal Granted.
Mr., Speaker--Likc other members of
this House, desire to express and have
spread upon the journals, my profound
regret that difference Of opinion on
the sine die adjournment of the Legisla.
ture should have been the occasion of
the exciting scenes through which we
have Just passed That they resulted
from honest difference Of opinion, !
fully recognize, but while the subject is
still fresh, desire to spread upon the
journals of this House my reasons for
iavoring the roceding of the House from
the concurrent resolution to adjourn on
the 3lst inst.
Originally, was in favor OF even an

this House will show but when it be-
came apparent and was even avered
| by honorable members on this floor
that their reasons for tavoring an early
adjournment was in order to cripple,
and if possible, to destry, M enterprise
which has done so much, and is des-
tined, ! trust, to do n thousand fold
mora for the development of the great
resources of the State, and particularly
of that portion which have the honor
to represent, felt it my highest duty
to cooperate with the majority Of the
House, who opposed an early adjourn
ment, perhaps from other motives.
1t occurs to me that to have refused the
reliefof thirty days to corporation which

nearly fifteen millions of dollars and
built and put in operation within the
State over four hundred miles of road,
would be as injurious to our future
railroad prospects as it would be un-
worthy the Legislature of n great State.
| considered that an enterprise which
had been originally suggested by ou
own Rusk and recommended by the
Legislatures of thirteen Southern States
and by the board OF trade and munici
pal governments of nearly every South
ern city, was certainly worthy Of gencr.
Gus treatment from this Legislature
with the short-sighted policy bcgottcn

ousy, by the land greed Of spectators
and by the rivalry of II great monopoly
, which desires no competition, and will
have none, if they can prevent | re

passed bill to improve the condition o.
that service. The bill is now before tue
House for consideration. The people Of
the United States are now realizing the
importance of this service. The Signal
Service has been Of immense value to the
country. Let the service be continued and
pushed to the utmost point Of perfection,
and kept on par with those Of European
nation. Any improvement in it's extension
or the efficiency of the officers will be
accepted by the people as movement to

lars can be saved to the people Of this coun'
try by ea,ly information in reference to

one extra Office is created and the rank in

The OPPOSITION which meets the pl

The OPPOSITION which meets the pro-
posal to reduce the Army because we are
in the midst of an Indian war. is only the
plausible Republican side Of the story.
There is already in the field against Sitting
Bull an army Of two or three thousand
men, and add to these an army that is w.
ing idle in the South drinking whisky and
urging negroes to riot, and the army against
Sitting Bull would be six or eight tHous-
and, and then add to this lot of useless
creatures that do nothing but loaf around
the Departments, draw army pay and vote
when the election comes around, and we
have an army Of fully ten thousand
against the Sioux. If it was an army o!
usefulness that we had to keep alive it
would be different matter altogether, but
it does not comprise more than few
thousand fighting soldiers, and the rest are
barnacles hanging to the Government,
The folly of such an army is seen at once.
And if Congress reduces it, it will be- a
great saving to the country.

JUDGE BLACK in his defense of Belknap
in the Impeachment trial, stated that the
ex-Secretary had only initiated his master
in taking presents. This brings out a
horde Of Republican newspapers, who claim
that there is no law to prevent public
officer from taking presents. There is a
law to prevent him from taking them as
brides. A presentation fund was made to
Grant of an hundred thousand dollars. This
was at the close of the war and when
Grant was made President, as every one
knew he would be at the time the donation
was made, Messrs. Borie and Fisk, who
were principal among the donors, were
given important Offices.
