COnmitt e Reports.

Senator Carroll, chairman of the Com
mittee on Comptroller's and Treasurer's
Department, submitted the following re-
pot:
Hon. Wells Thompson, President pro TEN. Of
the Senate:
Your Committee on Comptroller's aud
Treasurer's Departments beg leave to report
that in the discharge of their duties they
have examined, in conjunction with like
committee of the House, the books in the
Office of Comptroller and Treasurer, and
find them in good condition, and the sys-
tenn pursued well adapted to the business
of the departments.
We found the balances, as reported by
the Comptroller, corresponding with the
balance sheet of the Treasurer, embracing
all business to the close of business hours
! on the fourteeuth instant, and we verified
the same by an actual count of the funds
and securities in the vault OF the Treasury.
We hereby attach to this report a copy OF
the balance sheet furnished by the Treasu-
rer and make it part of the ssme-to-wit
Statement showing leash balances" June

THE action of the Texas delegation at
Cincinnati was simply astonishing. There
Is not colored man in Texas who cares a
groat for Hayes and nowhere in the South
has he negro adherent. We had thought
that Mississippi would surely support the
nominee of the Cincinnati Convention; but
with little effort on the part of the white
people, it occurs to us, not only Mis-
sissippi but even South Carolina may be
induced to vote for Tilden. but Hayes will
be supported in Texas by Hon. Guy Bryan,
and Governor Davis may be. persuaded to
60 that way, and this is all that can be prom
ised for Texas.

EIsRwHERE is published the statement
of Hon. ]. s. Griffith in regard to bill for
printing lately presented to the Legisla-
ture. The action Of Gen. Griffith, as chair
man Of the Printing Committee, in refus-
ing to pay this bill, has been severely COM
mented upon by an interested party, as un-
Just and uncalled for, while the docu-
ments presented in the publication made
by Gen. Griffith leave no room for doubt
that his course in the matter has been die
tated by integrity and honor. He is one
Of the purest men in Texas, and is incapa-
BILE of doing an act of injustice to any
one. His views are fully sustained by At
torney-General Boone, fine lawyer, and
another eminently Just man.

The New York Herald, and Republican
press of the Empire State, have asserted,
again and again, that no influence or fact
less potent than the nomination of Conk-
ling for the presidency could carry New
York against Tilden. 1t was consciousness
of this that compelled the nomination of
Wheeler. But Wheeler, elected, is only
Vice President, and nobody knows who
have been vice presidents since Grant first
went into Office. Wheeler stat nominis
Ups6rd, the shadow of fact on the R0pub-
lican ticket. Wealth and poverty will vote
with reference to practical results in the
coming presidential election.
