A STATE DlSH0N0REO.

The spectacle presented in the House
Of Representatives of the State OF Texas
upon yesterday, was such us to bring
the tinge of shame and of anger to the
check Of every Texan. Never in the
history OF State legislation, has there
been inacted n scene involving such

ate and criminal folly, In utter de-
liance of the constitution of the State,
in total disregard and contempt Of the
action Of the Senate, II minority OF the
House assemblies and adjourns the Fii.
teenth Legislature sine Hcl
The Senate had rescinded the
resolution to adjourn on the 3lst, and
had solemnly notified the House Of its
action. From the moment that rcsolu-
ton of RECESSION passed, it was beyond
the power of the House, under the very
term. OF the constitution itself to adj
iourn for more than three days. Yet
with wild, reckless, revolutionary dis
regard of all law and of all courtesy to.
ward n coordinate department Of the
government, in the very teeth of an al
most imperative demand of the Gov
crnor that they remain in session for
the passage of laws, without which the
very machinery of the government is
paraly2ed and stopped these revolutions
lists enter upon the Journal their prcpos.
ferrous resolution Of adjourn
mcnt sine die, and after.
wards break the quorum,
There is but one remedy for such mad
folly. That remedy is TO declare the
seat of each reyolutionst vacant The
power and dignity of Texas is now jcop-
ardiacd and there should rise above
railroads corruption and criminal folly,
n spirit of stern patriotism that will
speak to silence the actions of this DIES
pente conclayr whose madness makes
even our sore distress ridiculous
The time has arrived when Stanford
and Huntington, when great railway
companies, inimcal to North Texas,
when corrupt rings seeking to rcnd the
State or achieve their purpose, should
be rebullcd and punished Aud there
is no better occasion than that now pre-
scnted rnE HERALD knows that there
has been no legal adjournment, it knows
that this irritated and revolutionary
faction will yet meekly step back into
their seats, and that the biennial session
of the Fifteenth Legislature will pro.
cecd but it feels that swift and ade.
quate punishment should be
meted out to those men
who have degraded themselves and
dishonored the State, 1nE HERALD EN-
tcrtains no fears about the passage of the
